Chapter 155 Ruins
Picking up where we left off, the group, who had already prepared for the bonfire party, were suddenly approached by the Sky Knight. When they saw him, they were all dumbfounded. Goten even blurted out, "Hey, we haven't blown the whistle yet! You came here by yourself, we're not paying for it!"
Seeing that everyone was unharmed, the Sky Knight asked in bewilderment, "You're all safe and sound. By the way, were you aware of the priest's disappearance?"
Upon hearing this, Usopp immediately patted his chest and declared, "I've already taken down a fat priest!" But Luffy and Sanji immediately saw through his lie—"No…it was the two of us who did it…"
Goten proudly declared, "I took down two by myself!" The others nodded in agreement.
Upon hearing this, Sky Knight broke out in a cold sweat. Looking at Goten's appearance, he was amazed that such a small body possessed such immense power. Sky Knight prepared to leave, but Luffy called out to him, "Wait a minute! Since we're already here, let's sing, dance, and have a bonfire party!"
Upon hearing this, the Sky Knight was still wondering what a bonfire party was when the bonfire was lit the next second. As Usopp started playing the drums, the Straw Hat crew began to dance and sing, and the Sky Knight and his mount were quickly drawn into the atmosphere by the Straw Hat crew...
After a night of revelry, as dawn broke, Usopp, half-asleep, vaguely heard the sound of someone repairing the Going Merry—the sound of a mallet striking planks. Following the sound to the shore, Usopp stared incredulously at a child-like figure in a raincoat, who, while repairing the Going Merry, turned to him and said, "It's alright, I can still carry you a little further, so don't worry..." Upon hearing this, Usopp was overcome with overwhelming fear and fainted...
The next day, when Usopp was woken up by the others, he found that the Going Merry had been transformed and was now sailable again. Goten couldn't help but exclaim, "Usopp, you're really skillful! You repaired the Going Merry like this in just one night!"
Seeing this, Chopper immediately chimed in, "Really! Usopp is amazing! He was able to bypass the Sky Shark to do the repairs. I'm completely in awe!"
However, Usopp was completely bewildered and had no idea what had happened. After thinking it over carefully, he slowly began to recount what he had seen and heard the previous night. However, the others thought he was just bragging. Usopp was shocked and asked, "Don't you believe me?!"
Everyone nodded in unison, agreeing – “That’s right!”
Upon seeing this, Usopp immediately collapsed to the ground in despair, having suffered a critical hit of 100,000 points.

After Goten delivered the Going Merry to a safe river, the Straw Hat crew officially split into two groups. Luffy, Zoro, Chopper, Robin, and Goten formed a team to search for the gold, while the rest of the crew, under the command of the Sky Knights, piloted the Going Merry out of the forest to provide backup...
As Goten and the other two walked, Luffy and Zoro disappeared one after the other, and Chopper, who went to look for them, did not return either. Only Goten and Robin remained, looking at each other awkwardly. They remained silent and just kept walking forward...
It wasn't until they were attacked by God's guards that the two had a brief exchange during the battle. They also learned from these guards that God—"Enel"—was in one of the locations on this island, and that a new survival game was being held on the island. The last person standing would have the chance to travel to the Infinite Land with Enel.
Upon hearing this, Wutian suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. In other words, there are countless powerful individuals fighting on this island right now. Well, I'm getting excited too. Well then, you all need to be on your guards, or you might get eliminated if you're not careful!" With that, Wutian instantly killed a guard, giving a small demonstration of his strength.
Seeing that Goten was no match for them, the other guards retreated to find others. Robin, seeing this, immediately said to Goten, "Saiyan-kun, aren't you going to chase after them?"
Goten, however, jumped to Robin's side and said nonchalantly, "Fighting is all about fate. There's no need to waste energy on unnecessary battles. Besides, we have more important things to do..."
Upon hearing this, Robin immediately said, "It's gold, right?"
Upon hearing this, Goten did not deny it and replied, "Gold is indeed one of them, but there are more important things..." He then changed the subject, "Aren't you also going to risk your life to go deeper into the world? So as partners, all we need to do is help each other."
Upon hearing Goten's words, Robin whispered, "Is that so?" Then she continued to follow Goten deeper into the area. Along the way, they encountered other guards and Shandian warriors who tried to stop them, but Goten single-handedly dealt with them all.
Robin, on the other hand, silently watched from the sidelines. After Goten defeated his opponent, she promptly used her Devil Fruit power to guide him, and the two of them arrived at the depths of the ruins. Looking at the ancient remains, a glimmer of light finally appeared in Robin's eyes...
While the two were still inspecting the area, a large figure suddenly descended from the sky, smashing the ground and creating a large crater. He arrogantly addressed Goten and Robin, saying, "You lowly Qinghai people, how dare you trespass into the sacred land of the gods! Watch how I, the Divine Soldier Captain, deal with you!"
As he spoke, the captain threw a punch, which Robin and Goten dodged, but the captain's attack still hit the ruins. Upon seeing this, Robin immediately shouted, "Stop! You can't fight here! There are many important ruins here. Do you want to destroy them?"
Upon hearing this, the captain of the divine soldiers retorted disdainfully, "This kind of dilapidated thing is completely worthless. Even if we lose it, we can just steal it again. The great god can possess everything; this was determined from the very beginning!"
As he spoke, the Captain deliberately crashed into the ruins. Robin, seeing this, rushed to the ruins without thinking, ready to meet the Captain's charge, but was instead knocked away. Just as the Captain was about to crash into the ruins, Goten made his move, kicking him to the other side where there were no ruins with a single flying kick.
As the captain of the divine weapon stood up, Goten pointed at him and shouted angrily, "You fatso, I won't let you destroy what my friends want to protect!" Robin's heart surged with turmoil upon hearing this...
Goten instantly teleported to the Divine Soldier Captain, placed his right hand on the captain's body, and used Teleport again to take him several hundred meters away from the ruins. Upon seeing this, the Divine Soldier Captain quickly threw a punch, which Goten dodged by jumping back. The Divine Soldier Captain immediately followed up with a Meatball Impact, but Goten clapped his hands together and transformed into a giant, two powerful punches, rendering the captain unable to take care of himself...
