If all the gold in this place were converted into Beris and stored in the system space, Anos felt he could truly ascend to godhood in an instant, but first, he needed to update the system for the conversation from gold to Beris.

In the future, not only in this pirate world but even in any other place, he could become a god-like existence.

Selling such a massive amount of gold in the pirate world was impossible. A small quantity might be manageable, but moving such a colossal amount was unthinkable.

The two of them hadn't even entered yet, but the gold visible at the entrance was already enough to leave anyone speechless.

Anos walked ahead, with Enel obediently following behind. After all, in his impression, there was a formidable presence inside, and his strength wasn't sufficient to act recklessly.

If he charged in blindly, he risked being devoured. Being swallowed whole wouldn't be an ideal outcome.

The door had a gap wide enough for two people to pass through, and the golden door itself was at least a meter thick.

With such an extraordinary thickness, this single door alone would be worth tens of billions of Beris far beyond the value of most treasures in the world of pirates.

For an ordinary person, even if such a golden gate were left unguarded, they'd have no means to take it away.

Its sheer weight and value made it incomprehensibly unattainable.

The thick golden door gleamed, exuding an air of immense value.

Once they stepped inside, they found themselves in a dark underground palace.

However, the reflective shine of the gold and silver treasures illuminated the space, making the entire hall faintly visible despite the lack of candles.

Anos couldn't help but feel a sense of disbelief as the vast treasure trove revealed itself. Such an incredible amount of gold was beyond imagination.

"Brother Anos, be careful there might be a big guy in here!" Enel softly reminded from behind.

Though parts of the massive hall were shrouded in shadows, Anos had already used his Observation Haki to scan the entire underground palace.

There were no signs of living creatures here, and the giant python, the guardian of Skypiea, was likely still outside.

The underground palace was eerily silent, so much so that even the sound of their breathing echoed. Each footstep was crystal clear in the stillness.

The golden palace was far more expansive than anyone could have imagined, stretching out beneath the ruins of Shandora.

The entrance was located nearly a kilometre away from the ancient city itself.

Though the palace was dim, the towering golden pillars, each tens of meters high and three meters thick were clearly visible.

In the pirate world, anyone who could obtain even one of these pillars would become unimaginably wealthy.

Not only was the palace constructed from solid gold, but it also contained numerous golden artefacts, including chairs, decorations, and other items.

Every pillar bore unique carvings and designs. Standing at the entrance, Anos could already take in the magnificence of the scene.

He slowly began to walk forward, carefully observing his surroundings.

"It seems that this gold wasn't crafted by human hands. The only power capable of achieving this must be the Gold-Gold Fruit!" Anos concluded after examining the area.

After all, no kingdom, no matter how prosperous, could amass such an immense quantity of gold.

The Gold-Gold Fruit couldn't create gold out of anything but could draw and manipulate the gold buried deep within the earth, shaping it into the incredible forms now surrounding them.

Even so, gold in the pirate world retained its high value, and the sheer quantity here was enough to propel Anos to unimaginable heights.

He recalled thinking that the treasure he had seized from Mariejoa was enough to elevate him, but the underground golden palace had completely overturned his expectations.

Not only would this treasure secure his future, but it would also ensure that the Tru Kingdom would never face financial concerns.

"Brother, what are you observing?" Enel asked curiously, noticing Anos lost in thought.

"Nothing much," Anos replied with a smile. "It just makes me wonder what this city must have looked like in its prime, hundreds of years ago."

"Well, whatever it was, it's all gone now. No records remain, and only this empty palace is left behind. It doesn't mean much anymore," Enel said with a puzzled expression.

"There's still something left," Anos countered, striding deeper into the hall.

Each of his steps echoed loudly in the vast space. Even the floor beneath them was made of solid gold. Yet, in the centre of the hall, something stood out.

It was a massive Poneglyph a block of stone about 5 meters high and 5 meters wide etched with ancient text.

Anos had sensed its presence the moment they entered. This particular Poneglyph had originally been located among the ruins of Shandora, but it seemed that after declaring himself a god, Enel had moved it here while clearing the golden palace.

Behind the Poneglyph stood a grand staircase that ascended about 10 meters, at the top of which rested a golden throne.

Flanking the throne were four golden statues, intricately carved.

Everything in sight, except for the Poneglyph, was made of gold. The overwhelming wealth left no room for doubt everything here now belonged to Anos, including the priceless Poneglyph.

"Brother Anos, what does it say?" Enel asked, pointing to the inscriptions on the Poneglyph.

The writing was sharp and pristine, untouched by time. Compared to the Poneglyph in Alabasta, this one seemed almost new.

"This is a Poneglyph," Anos explained calmly. "It records many secrets, but almost no one in the world today can read this ancient script."
