The two of them separated after a long time. Cricket looked at Wiper and said, "I can prove that Buggy-sama didn't deceive you. I can use my life as a guarantee."
Cricket knew that since Buggy had said this, he wouldn't deceive the Shandia. Buggy's future was limitless. His vision couldn't be limited to this small Skypiea. Since Buggy had said this, it proved that what he said was true. Cricket was willing to use his life as a guarantee.
Seeing Cricket's solemn words, the last of Wiper's doubts vanished.
The great warrior, Kalgara, had believed Noland. Now, he also believed Noland's descendant. He didn't believe that the descendant of the great hero would use his life to deceive them.
Wiper made up his mind. He came to Buggy and bowed deeply, saying, "Thank you for your generosity. And thank you for allowing us to return to Apia. I, on behalf of the Shandia, offer our thanks. I also promise here that we Shandia will absolutely not disrupt the order of Skypiea. We will also maintain the safety of Skypiea. We will do our part to defend our home. Of course, if you have any other orders, we will do our best to complete them."
Since the other party had expressed his goodwill, Wiper had to show his attitude. They wanted to integrate into Skypiea. They had to abide by the rules. This wasn't unacceptable to them.
Moreover, they could also hold some power. They wouldn't be completely voiceless. They were entrusted with the responsibility of guarding Skypiea. As part of Skypiea, they naturally had to do their duty.
Of course, the most important thing was that they could live in Apia. This alone was enough to satisfy them.
"Alright, welcome home."
Wiper had actually said these words. This was enough to represent all the Shandia. Buggy also welcomed them back to Apia, back to their former home.
After confirming this, Wiper immediately used the Den Den Mushi to contact the chief and explained the situation here. He also emphasized Cricket's identity.
The chief, knowing that Noland's descendant had come to Skypiea and that he had used his life as a guarantee, was convinced that everything Buggy said was true. He was also very excited. He couldn't believe that the descendant of the great hero, Noland, had met them again.
After hanging up the Den Den Mushi, the chief immediately announced this news. He explained that Wiper had confirmed this news and that Noland's descendant had met them again. He also announced that they were all going to move back to Apia.
The Shandia were overjoyed to hear this news. They couldn't believe that their ancestors' centuries-long dream had finally been realized in their time. They could really return to the land where their ancestors had lived, to their long-awaited holy land.
After the excitement subsided, everyone immediately started packing their belongings, preparing to move back to Apia. They couldn't wait.
At the Golden City, Buggy led Enel, Wiper, and Cricket to the side of the golden bell. He was going to ring the bell of peace with them.
Buggy had his own reasons for bringing these people. First, Enel could represent all the Skypiean residents except for the Shandia. He was an indispensable member of the group ringing the golden bell.
Wiper, needless to say, was also an indispensable member of the group ringing the golden bell. This island, the gold here, and the golden bell were all closely related to him.
Cricket, he had a close relationship with this island. By ringing the golden bell, he could also put a perfect ending to Noland's story. He was also an indispensable member of the group ringing the golden bell.
Under the witness of Shiryu and the Four Gods, the four of them rang the golden bell. The sound of the bell quickly spread throughout Skypiea and reached the sea below.
The snake, not far away, heard the sound of the bell and let out a loud roar. Tears streamed from its eyes, as if it was reminiscing about the past.
The original inhabitants of Skypiea didn't have any special reaction when they heard the sound of the bell. They were just curious why Skypiea was ringing such a loud bell.
The Shandia, however, had a huge reaction. Everyone had smiles on their faces. Listening to the sound of the bell, they felt completely relieved. Some even had tears in their eyes. They knew they were going home.
Listening to the sound of the bell, the chief couldn't help but say, "After 400 years of silence, the bell that never rang, we almost gave up. Kalgara, the great warrior, can you hear it? The sound of Skypiea's light."
The people on Jaya Island below also vaguely heard the sound of the bell coming from the sky. Cricket's subordinate looked up. He vaguely guessed that his boss might have found the Golden City Skypiea. The rest of the people were confused. They didn't take the sound of the bell seriously.
The Shandia arrived at Apia on that day, their sacred land, and settled down peacefully.
Buggy and his crew didn't rush to leave. Although they had recruited Enel and gained the trust of the Shandia, there were still many things that needed to be taken care of. So, they couldn't leave in a hurry.
They stayed here to stabilize the situation and improve the order. Buggy thought about it and deleted some of the unreasonable laws. He also formulated a series of laws based on the situation on the island.
This was necessary. The original laws of Skypiea were very strict and unreasonable. The most representative examples were the laws about the god. These laws had to be abolished. Skypiea didn't have a god now. Buggy and his crew didn't want the Skypiean residents to treat them as gods. These laws were all deleted. The laws that were added were to stabilize the order of Skypiea. These laws were jointly drafted by Buggy and his crew, the Four Gods, and the Shandia.
Under Buggy's authorization, the Four Gods and Wiper formed an organization to manage Skypiea: the Sky Organization.
The power structure of the organization was composed of two groups: the Four Gods representing the Skypiean residents and the chief and Wiper representing the Shandia people.
They held equal rights and jointly managed Skypiea. If there were any major decisions, they could be made through discussion or voting. If the two sides couldn't reach a consensus and couldn't make a decision, they could directly contact Buggy and his crew.
During this time, Enel also gave Buggy the design plans for the Ark Maxim that he had unexpectedly obtained. Seeing the design plans for the Ark Maxim, Buggy was very satisfied. He knew where he should go next. He also decided that it was time to upgrade the Glory. He also wanted the Glory to have the ability to fly. This way, they could easily return to Skypiea in the future.
To consolidate the management of the Sky Organization, Buggy and his crew stayed on Skypiea for two months. When everything was stable, Buggy took Enel and started preparing for their next journey.
