Hearing this, Usopp immediately covered his mouth. Knowing he had slipped up, he could only stand up and say weakly:
"Why don't you guys go? There's no need for us all to go."
Upon hearing this, Sanji and the others turned their heads and walked forward, then leisurely said:
"If you don't want to go, just stay here and wait for us..."
Hearing this, Usopp felt a chill run down his spine, his skin crawling.
Listening to the constant thunderclaps around him, he ran up directly.
"Hey, I told you not to leave me behind!"
...
After investigating, Raynor and Nami directly arrived at the location of the ruins. This place was everywhere with walls inscribed with historical texts, though Raynor couldn't understand them.
But since the Shandians originally wanted to protect the Poneglyphs, places like this, filled with historical texts, must have been their core of protection.
In other words, it was the location of the Poneglyphs they had hidden with gold.
This meant that where they were now was only a stone's throw away from the Golden Eye!
Although Nami didn't know the location of the Poneglyphs, seeing Raynor's expression, she seemed to smell the scent of gold.
Her eyes lit up, and she said:
"This is it, right? Okay, then let's tear this place apart!"
Saying that, Nami immediately started searching around frantically. After a while, Nami found nothing and was panting from exhaustion.
Seeing this, Raynor frowned slightly. Did this guy really think he could find the Golden City by digging with his hands?
After trying for a while, Nami finally gave up and turned to look at Raynor, her face grim, saying:
"Hey, please, you should help a little too!"
Hearing this, Raynor said helplessly:
"You're asking me? The Golden City couldn't possibly be in such an obvious place. There must be a secret passage."
Upon hearing this, Nami nodded, thinking Raynor made sense.
Then she clenched her fist and said with determined eyes:
"Okay, then let's find that secret passage!"
Nami said, and she was about to act.
Nami decided to start by looking for clues in the writings on the surrounding walls. But at the beginning, Nami gave up.
She couldn't understand any of the surrounding texts.
Let alone Nami, Raynor was also completely clueless. If only Robin could come at this time.
Just as Raynor was thinking, suddenly, over a dozen white figures appeared, heading towards them.
Seeing this, a look of terror appeared in Nami's eyes, and she ducked behind Raynor.
"Look what you've done! The gods must have sent people to eliminate us. You, handle it!"
Hearing this, a look of helplessness appeared in Raynor's eyes. How fickle could this woman be?
As soon as Nami finished speaking, the dozen white-clothed guards rushed towards Raynor, weapons in hand.
"It's him, the one the Lord God specifically marked."
"Heh, if we take him down, we can be directly promoted to God's Official!"
As soon as they said that, several slashes shot towards Raynor.
Seeing this, Nami closed her eyes.
But the next moment, Raynor dodged those slashes effortlessly.
Nami, feeling herself suddenly lifted, rolled her eyes in fright.
"Hey, why are you bringing me along!"
Before Nami could finish speaking, several more guards attacked Raynor from behind.
Seeing this, Nami swallowed and hugged Raynor tightly.
"Hey, look behind you!"
Hearing this, Raynor immediately changed position using Moon Walk.
A look of contempt flashed in his eyes, and he held out a finger, muttering:
"Shigan!"
In an instant, three guards who were rapidly attacking Raynor were instantly splattered with blood.
Seeing this, Nami looked at the tragic state of the three guards with horror.
They each had three finger-thick bloody holes in their chests, looking terrifying.
After dealing with the three guards, the other guards felt a bit wary of Raynor.
However, thinking they could be promoted to God's Official, they regained their confidence.
Soon, two more fearless guards charged towards Raynor.
Seeing this, Raynor couldn't be bothered to play with them.
Then Vivi turned to look at Nami and said:
"Hold on tight!"
Hearing this, Nami didn't know what Raynor meant, but she vaguely felt that things were definitely not simple.
With that thought, Nami hugged Raynor tightly.
The next moment, Raynor raised his leg in mid-air and swung it forward.
Instantly, a powerful slash cut towards the charging guards.
The two guards spat out a mouthful of blood and then fell into the sea of clouds.
Moreover, the residual power of Rankyaku also took care of several of the guards closer to the front.
Seeing this, the remaining guards looked terrified and prepared to turn and flee.
But just then, balls of lightning suspended in the sky suddenly flashed two powerful bolts of electricity.
They shot towards those few guards. With a scream, those guards immediately collapsed on the ground, unconscious.
Seeing this, a look of fear appeared in Nami's eyes again.
At this moment, Raynor also descended from the air.
Nami hurriedly grabbed Raynor's clothes and said:
"We have to hurry and find the Golden City, then get out of this place quickly!"
Hearing this, Raynor couldn't help but roll his eyes.
He was almost impressed by Nami's courage now. He didn't expect her to still be in the mood to look for gold after witnessing such things.
Raynor didn't object, as he also had a mission to find the Golden City.
Then, Nami let go of Raynor and wanted to continue studying how to find the Golden City.
However, at that moment, a shadow suddenly enveloped Nami from above.
Seeing the wall-like, towering shadow cover her, Nami's face contorted, and she quickly dodged.
Turning back, she saw a fat man as big as a small mountain.
The fat man's flesh was piled layer upon layer, and his face was filled with a fierce, angry expression.
He pointed directly at Nami and said:
"Who allowed you to trespass on my territory? This place is an important area that the gods ordered me to guard."
Saying that, the fat man let out a heavy breath and then said:
"But, forget it, I'll offer your life to the Lord God!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the enormous fat man instantly threw a punch towards Nami.
If Nami hadn't reacted quickly, that punch would have landed squarely on her.
Nami struggled to dodge, and that punch landed directly on the ground.
