War Ghost Weber, along with the countless sacrifices of the Sandians, had worked tirelessly to fulfill the promise of their ancestors and Rolando. But Duke's revelation made him question it all.
Duke slowly explained to Weber everything that Rolando had done afterward. Weber's expression shifted—what had been pride and determination turned into confusion and doubt.
Even so, Weber's gaze soon regained its firmness. He spoke in a deep, resolute voice:
"Thank you for telling me the truth," he said. "But even if not for Rolando, I must honor the sacrifices of the Sandians. I will ring this golden bell to bring peace to my ancestors!"
With that, Weber raised his arm and prepared to strike the golden bell with the power of his platoon shell. The bell, which had remained silent for generations, was just moments away from ringing.
But before the sound could echo, Ahri, who had quietly approached during the conversation, made her move.
In a flash, she appeared before Weber, her glowing eyes radiating a strange light. Weber's firm expression faded into confusion before his body collapsed to the ground in unconsciousness.
Duke had no intention of letting anyone ring the golden bell. Sky Island was a secret base he had carefully chosen.
If the bell rang, its sound would resonate across the seas, revealing Sky Island's location to those on the surface below. The legend of Sandora, the City of Gold, would no longer be a myth—it would become fact.
In another timeline, War Ghost Weber, Luffy, and their allies succeeded in ringing the golden bell, fulfilling their dreams.
But what followed was devastation. The bell's chime exposed Sky Island to the world, drawing pirates like Bellamy and Kaido. Without Enel's fearsome presence to protect them, the Sky Islanders and Sandians were powerless against such enemies.
The wealth of Sandora was plundered, its people slaughtered or enslaved. The golden bell's ringing brought nothing but ruin to Sky Island.
Now, as Weber lay unconscious, Duke stood silently. He admired the warrior's courage, but that didn't mean he was willing to let him succeed. The stakes were far too high.
In terms of talent, potential, and strength, very few in the world of pirates could rival Duke. Even Enel, who now served under Janna, surpassed War Ghost Weber in both power and potential.
Duke turned his attention to the vast treasure of Sandora. With a wave of his hand, he extracted the gold from the massive golden bell and the gilded pillars.
Although Sandora was famed as the Golden City, most of its structures were only gold-plated. The true treasure came from the Lord of Sky's belly—gold accessories and fragments it had consumed while crawling through the ruins.
But that didn't matter. The treasure Duke collected, including the pure golden bell, was more than enough.
A wealth of 92.3 billion now glowed on his system panel. Duke's eyes lit up with excitement as his heart raced at the sight of such fortune.
After freshening up and mentally preparing himself, Duke sacrificed this immense fortune to the system.
"System, give me four SS-level draws!" he commanded eagerly.
The results began to flash:
[20 billion wealth consumed: Congratulations! SS-level equipment, Central Asian Hourglass!]
[20 billion wealth consumed: Congratulations! SS-level hero, Angel of Justice Guyer!]
[20 billion wealth consumed: Congratulations! S+ equipment, Fanatic Armor!]
[20 billion wealth consumed: Congratulations! SS-level hero, Desert Shinigami Nasus!]
"Two divine heroes and two divine items!" Duke exclaimed, hardly believing his luck. A broad grin spread across his face as he reveled in his winnings.
"System, summon Guyer and Nasus immediately!" he declared.
In an instant, a soft glow filled the room. Two magnificent figures emerged from the light, radiating divine power.
"I will bring justice to all in your name," said Guyer, the Angel of Justice. Her sacred wings gently flapped behind her, and the fiery sword she held radiated an intense, otherworldly energy.

But while Guyer's full power is still dormant, another divine being, Nasus, knelt before Duke, offering his eternal loyalty.
