I will guide this text to the ends of the world!

Along with the sound of the bell, the long-hidden golden bell resounded throughout the heavens and the earth.

It can be said that in this boundless ocean, there are countless treasures and legends hidden in the passage of time.

For many pirates, their lifelong pursuit is to find a treasure that can withstand the test of time, so that their fame can be passed down along with the treasure.

Of course, daring to name a treasure after oneself is something many dare not imagine, because to achieve that, one not only needs immense wealth and treasure but also formidable strength.

However, June and the others who followed Nicholas were surprised to find, besides the golden bell, embedded in the base of the golden bell was an ancient stone with inscriptions.

June was amazed, and Nicholas felt the same way.

Although they had already known about the existence of historical inscriptions on Skypiea, witnessing it with their own eyes still made them feel the vicissitudes and sadness present.

Nicholas looked at the square stone, about five or six meters high, and scanned the ancient characters inscribed on its surface, realizing he didn't recognize a single word.

"Was this stone placed here by the Shandia people who forged the golden bell? Or was the golden bell forged specifically for this historical inscription, and its toll will guide someone in the future to reach here and obtain the information recorded on it?"

With a thought, Nicholas approached and gently touched the historical inscription with his hand, his hand also emitting electric sparks.

After a brief examination, Nicholas furrowed his brow slightly because, in his perception, the golden bell almost seamlessly enveloped the historical inscription, indicating that the golden bell was tailor-made for this historical inscription.

However, why the historical inscription appeared in the Shandia people's territory, and why the Shandia people risked their lives protecting it for generations, remained a mystery.

Could it be that the ancestors of the Shandia people were also companions of Joy Boy?

But then Nicholas shook his head.

Regardless of who placed the historical inscription here or whether the ancestors of the Shandia people were companions of Joy Boy, it wasn't something worth delving into.

The chieftain of Shandia also approached Nicholas, looking up at the ancient characters illuminated by the sunlight.

They had continuously fought with the native islanders, not only to reclaim their former homeland but also to reclaim the golden bell that their ancestors had risked their lives to protect.

He naturally couldn't understand the characters above but could feel a strong historical atmosphere emanating from them.

This was the unique visual sensation that ancient characters brought to people.

"Chieftain, do you recognize the characters above?" asked a Shandia tribesman, looking at the chieftain, as the golden bell was an heirloom of their ancestors, and the chieftain might know what the characters recorded.

"Sometimes, not knowing is a kind of luck," the Shandia chieftain replied, recalling some things passed down among the Shandia chieftains.

"Hold our true motive in your hearts and speak not of it. We are the ones who make history, in harmony with the ring of the Great Belfry."

As the chieftain reminisced about the turbulent years of the past, Nicholas's voice suddenly sounded beside him.

Upon hearing this, the Shandia chieftain turned his head abruptly to look at Nicholas with an incredulous expression.

"How did you know that phrase!?"

It was no wonder the Shandia chieftain was astonished because the phrase was something the previous chieftain had told him when passing on the chieftainship, and it was impossible for anyone else to know it!

"Secrets that you think are secrets are not secrets in the eyes of others. What is recorded on the stone monument may seem miraculous to others, but to me, I have already mastered what is recorded on the stone monument, so there's no need to be surprised. What interests me more is, if someday in the future, someone appears who resembles the person the Shandia people followed eight hundred years ago, what would you do?"

Upon hearing Nicholas's words, the Shandia chieftain fell into silence because in the chieftain's inheritance, there were indeed similar records.

"Sorry, I can't answer that."

After a moment of silence, the Shandia chieftain spoke.

"It's okay, just curious," Nicholas said with a smile, already having a rough idea of the answer from the Shandia chieftain's words.

Perhaps, just like the future Monkey D. Luffy, during the final battle, the people who had been helped by Luffy, whether on Fish-Man Island, Skypiea, Dressrosa, or other places, would gather around Luffy, just like they had gathered around Joy Boy eight hundred years ago.

The blank history of eight hundred years ago? Joy Boy?

Nicholas might be curious, but he wasn't interested.

Just like what he had said to Roger back then, Joy Boy was ultimately a failure, and even if someone similar to Joy Boy appeared again, so what?

"Oh ho ho, there are inscriptions here too."

Brook arrived at the golden bell, and eerie ghostly flames flickered in his hollow eye sockets.

Then, he used the sheath of his sword to push aside the vines beside the historical inscription, revealing the inscriptions inside.

Beside the historical inscription, the inscriptions carved on the golden base were similar to those on the historical inscription.

"I have arrived here. I will guide this text to the ends of the world. Pirate Gol D. Roger," June said softly.

Upon June's words, Nicholas was somewhat dumbfounded. June could actually understand these things?

It seemed that seeing Nicholas's confusion, June explained, "While in Wano, I had Simon collect many books, including those passed down by the generals of Wano. In one of the books, I saw the same characters we saw on Skypiea, so I learned them. It's not that difficult, actually."

Seeing the suddenly erudite June, the academically challenged Nicholas felt ashamed. He reached out and touched the gold surrounding the historical inscription.

As his palm touched the gold surface, his lightning metallurgy ability instantly activated, accompanied by intense heat, separating the historical inscription stone from the base of the golden bell.

Since Roger believed in fate and entrusted the future to the next generation of Joy Boy, Nicholas didn't mind adding a little difficulty.

He grabbed the stone with the historical inscription.

A chill ran straight to his palm, penetrating into his flesh, blood, and even bone marrow.

This sensation made Nicholas keenly feel the extraordinary texture of the historical inscription.

As a carrier of history, this seemed to be an indestructible stone of immortality.

Electricity flowed from his palm, adhering to the surface of the historical inscription stone.

Then, with a sudden force, he forcibly pulled the historical inscription out of the base of the golden bell.

Seeing the historical inscription completely pulled out by Nicholas, the Shandia chieftain couldn't help but hesitate, but looking at the lightning in Nicholas's hand and his companions standing beside him, the Shandia chieftain chose to remain silent because the situation was stronger than people.

Looking at the historical inscription completely pulled out by Nicholas, Katie asked curiously with her twin swords' scabbards tapping the stone monument, "Captain, it's said that historical inscriptions are immortal stones that cannot be destroyed by human or natural forces?"

"It seems so," Nicholas nodded, then saw Simon, Brook, Katie, Vista, and Urouge all showing eager expressions.
