One Piece: I, a scum of the navy, became an admiral Chapter 258

Sky Island, “Golden City” Shandora.

“Is this the legendary ”Golden City“?”

Allen stood in the air with his arms crossed, looking down at the full view of Shandora.

All the damaged buildings were constructed of gold, with a unique architectural style, full of mystery and ancient aura. The city was resplendent with gold, and the sunlight shone brightly.

A massive golden bell stood in the city, with exquisite patterns carved into its body.

Looking at the astonishing gold reserves before him, Allen’s mouth curved into a satisfied smile.

Just then.

“Oh~ is someone coming?” A hint of playfulness appeared in Allen’s expression.

His Observation Haki could clearly sense something flying towards him.

Although the speed wasn’t very fast, it should still arrive in a few minutes.

Allen wasn’t in a hurry to collect the gold. Instead, he found a golden spot on the highest building and sat down.

A few minutes later.

Allen sat with his legs crossed, his eyes slightly narrowed as he watched the approaching figure.

The newcomer was an old man in armor, holding a long spear, riding a pink-spotted flying horse.

“A ”Blue Sea“ man, this is not a place you should be!” The old man immediately shouted when he saw Allen.

Looking at the old man’s appearance, Allen had already guessed his identity.

But Allen still looked nonchalant, scratching his ear and slowly saying:

“Oh~ who are you, sir? Aren’t you perhaps being a bit too nosy?”

The old man pointed his spear at Allen’s face, his tone arrogant.

“I am Gan Fall, the ”God“ of Sky Island!”

“Pfft~” Hearing Gan Fall’s words, Allen couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

Someone who hadn’t even mastered Haki dared to call himself “God.” In Allen’s eyes, that was indeed quite arrogant.

Seeing Allen laughing, Gan Fall frowned slightly but continued to advise:

“Young man, other places on Sky Island are fine, but not here!”

It turned out that Gan Fall had received news of Allen’s arrival on Sky Island long ago. Since Allen hadn’t done anything out of line, he chose to ignore him.

But today, he suddenly received news that Allen had gone to Shandora, so he rushed over without delay.

Allen saw that Gan Fall, apart from being a bit overconfident, wasn’t trying to oppress him with his authority, so he didn’t plan to lay a hand on him.

At this moment, the mist and clouds on the ground began to churn, and a rustling sound of scales rubbing against rock came from underground.

Initially, the sound was faint, but it quickly turned into a muffled roar, and the entire ground began to tremble, causing the golden buildings to suddenly collapse.

Suddenly, a massive shadow burst out of the ground.

It was the triangular head of a giant snake, its crimson vertical pupils larger than lanterns, and its fine scales gleamed with a metallic cold light.

Its body was blue with dark patterns, and it had two whiskers at the top of its head. Its body was only 200 meters long.

“Is that a giant python?!” Gan Fall exclaimed in horror, looking at the appearing giant python.

This giant python was almost a legendary creature to them. He had never seen it before and didn’t expect it to appear here.

The giant python coiled upwards around the tallest building, its target being Allen at the top.

“Young man, hurry and leave! This is not something we can provoke…” Gan Fall shouted at Allen.

And at this moment.

“Roar! Roar!”

The giant python had approached Allen, opening its massive maw and baring its sharp fangs, warning Allen.

Clearly, Allen’s presence made the giant python feel threatened, instinctively making it defend its territory.

Allen looked at the giant python before him, completely unfazed. He looked at the already old-looking giant python.

Allen also understood that this was likely the small snake that had been carried up by the ocean current with Shandora 400 years ago.

But what did that have to do with Allen? He had no relation to this giant python.

A hint of crimson flashed in Allen’s eyes, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

Instantly, crimson electric arcs flashed around Allen’s body.

Conqueror’s Haki erupted into a substantial pressure, crushing towards the giant python in visible ripples.

The air made a crisp sound like shattering glass. The giant python’s massive body suddenly stiffened, and its originally aggressive whiskers instantly went limp.

The ferocity in its eyes completely faded, replaced by trembling fear. Its massive body uncontrollably recoiled backward.

It felt the pressure that transcended the top of the food chain, the absolute deterrence of a king over an ant.

Although it wasn’t human, 400 years of survival made it extremely sensitive to danger.

Allen’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he let out a soft, stern command.

“Lie down!” The voice wasn’t loud, but in the giant python’s ears, it carried an undeniable authority.

As Allen’s words fell, the giant python trembled and prostrated itself at Allen’s feet.

Seeing this scene, Gan Fall’s eyes nearly popped out, and his scalp tingled.

What the hell?!

If you were so powerful, why didn’t you say so earlier? If you had, would I have dared to speak so presumptuously in front of you?!

Did I just call myself a god in front of him? Am I going to die here?!

Seeing the change in Gan Fall’s expression, Allen’s mouth curved into a smile.

“”God“ Gan Fall, can we have a good talk now?”

Gan Fall quickly dismounted and came before Allen, his tone becoming respectful.

“Please do not address ”this old man“ that way, sir. If you have any requests, just command!”

Seeing Gan Fall’s 180-degree attitude change, Allen stopped teasing him and slowly said:

“This gold is useless to you. I’m taking all of it, do you have any objections?!”

Gan Fall’s old face was wreathed in a smile, his heart already blooming with joy.

Gold was useless on Sky Island, merely a prettier stone. If Allen wanted it, he could take it.

“Of course, if you like it, it’s all yours, but that…” Gan Fall said, looking at the massive golden bell in the center.

Allen immediately understood and said indifferently:

“Don’t worry, I don’t want that bell. I have no liking for receiving ‘bells’ [a pun on ‘sending off’ or ‘death’ in Chinese].”

“Of course, the second thing is, tell me where ”Birka“ is!”

“Birka” was Enel’s hometown. Allen decided to go to “Birka” to see if he could find Enel or the “Goro Goro no Mi” (Rumble-Rumble Fruit).

Hearing Allen’s words, Gan Fall quickly took a map of Sky Island from his armor and respectfully handed it to Allen.

“This shows all the islands included in Sky Island…”

After getting what he wanted, Allen also told Gan Fall to leave.

Then, Allen gently waved his hand, and all the gold before him disappeared.

This was a “Portable Space” reward Allen had acquired a few years ago, capable of storing any inanimate object.

He then noticed a massive “Poneglyph” stone tablet in the tallest building.

Allen slowly approached the “Poneglyph.” Although he couldn’t read the text on it, Allen knew it contained information about the Ancient Weapon “Poseidon.”

While Allen wasn’t particularly interested in the three Ancient Weapons, he knew that scholars like Robin and her mother, Olvia, were quite interested in them.

So, Allen decided to make a rubbing of it. That little girl Robin would probably like something like this.

After he finished, Allen took out the map and found the location of “Birka.”

Allen’s mouth curved into a smile:

“”Rumble-Rumble Fruit,“ Enel, here I come…”
