Episode 194 sees Robin decode the bell's ancient inscriptions and uncover a message left by Gol D. Roger himself. Meanwhile Luffy schemes to swipe the island's gold, only for the grateful Sky People to gift the crew a treasure of their own.
Summary
After four straight days of celebration, the exhausted islanders sprawl out to rest. Luffy tiptoes about searching for his crew, wakes Nami, and lays out his plan to grab the gold and slip away, though their bickering rouses most of the sleeping Sky People. Word arrives that the golden bell has been found dangling from Giant Jack above the sky ocean, and the Shandorian chief calls every able warrior to the western shore. Their first attempts to raise it fail until Skypieans join in, and together they haul the bell back up.
Elsewhere Usopp bargains rubber bands and metal sheets for dials he means to upgrade Nami's Clima-Tact and his own gear, Zoro hones his blade against stone, and Luffy's group climbs inside Nola to retrieve the treasure in her belly. When the bell is propped upright, a broken column reveals a Poneglyph at its base, which Robin reads aloud. The text names Poseidon, an ancient weapon, and points to its location, though it is not what she sought.
Key Events
As Robin turns away, a Shandorian shows her writing carved on the bell itself, and she is shaken to read the name Gol D. Roger, followed by his declaration that he reached this place and would carry the passage to the farthest ends of the earth. Realizing the Pirate King had visited the Sky Island, she puzzles over how he understood the old language. Gan Fall reveals he met Roger here more than twenty years ago. Robin tells the chief that the Shandia's centuries-long duty is fulfilled, since Roger already moved the text toward Laugh Tale, freeing them from further bloodshed and moving the chief to tears. Grateful for the crew's help, the Sky People wrap up the broken golden column as a gift.
Notes
The episode adapts chapter 301. Gan Fall remarks that Luffy reminds him of Roger, a sentiment Robin shares. Inside Nola the Straw Hats find a fair haul of gold, yet when they spot the cloth-covered column approaching they mistake it for an enormous cannon and bolt, with the Sky People chasing after them to hand over the present.
