The two of them lay on the white clouds, chatting. Even though darkness was falling, it didn't matter to them now.

Unknowingly, they fell asleep happily on the soft white clouds.

In Anos's view, Enel's life was rather pitiful. At only nine years old, he had developed powers capable of destroying an entire island.

After that, he wandered to this place. For the past four or five years, he had made no friends.

Everyone regarded him as a menace, treating him with disdain. This neglect eventually twisted the young boy's mind.

One has to admit, sometimes, that Enel's abilities surpass everyone's imagination.

The original story did not delve into Enel's backstory much. It only mentioned that he killed everyone on his home island as a child.

Now, listening to his story, Enel indeed stands out as an extraordinary figure.

When Anos approached Enel this time, he gained a preliminary understanding of him.

He wasn't as bad as initially imagined he was far better, even exceeding expectations.

If this guy were under the control of the World Government, he would likely become one of their greatest assets, perhaps comparable to their top scientists.

But now that Anos had discovered him, it was natural to use this opportunity to shape him into a talent that would benefit his kingdom.

This was only the first day on Sky Island, yet it had already yielded an unexpectedly happy ending at least for Anos.

Meanwhile, Daiki was leading Abona and their team of guards, accompanying Ganfall to the so-called Shrine.

The shrine was constructed on a section of earth, floating in the sky. While it wasn't particularly large, it was filled with priests.

Ganfall remained compliant yet cautious. He still couldn't fathom why these people had come to Sky Island. Along the way, he observed their every move.

At first, Ganfall thought they were treasure seekers. However, upon following them to the palace where they resided, his opinion changed.

These people had no interest in treasure. Instead, they meticulously examined the surroundings and even planned specific layouts as they walked.

Although surprised, Ganfall said nothing throughout the journey.

When they entered the shrine, there were around forty or fifty people present.

They wore white robes with small decorative wings on their backs, similar to typical attire on Sky Island.

"Abona, sense the surroundings," Daiki ordered.

Abona immediately activated his observation abilities while the other guards stood on alert.

Their team followed strict combat protocols. When some members scouted, others maintained a defensive stance to counter any unexpected events.

Upon hearing the command, Abona's Haki spread out over a two-kilometre radius.

After confirming the area was safe, he retracted his senses and said, "It's relatively secure here. There are dozens of people in this area."

Daiki nodded in acknowledgement and turned his attention to observing the priests.

The priests, in turn, were equally curious about why Ganfall had brought this group of strangers here.

"Gentlemen, I have brought you to the shrine as requested. I do not understand your purpose here on Sky Island, but I implore you not to harm anyone," Ganfall said tactfully.

Although he was Sky Island's strongest warrior, he understood that he stood no chance against these individuals.

"I hear your name is Ganfall, correct?" Daiki said calmly. "Rest assured, we have no intention of harming anyone here."

"Thank you, but may I ask what your purpose is on Sky Island?" Ganfall asked cautiously.

"To take over the management of Sky Island," Abona said coldly, stepping forward.

"So that's it," Ganfall muttered. He wasn't entirely surprised. As someone well-versed in world affairs, he could sense the intentions of these outsiders from their demeanour and Anos' self-introduction.

As a king, Anos wouldn't journey to Sky Island without reason. He clearly had a purpose.

Still, Ganfall had noticed something unique during their interactions when Anos gave food to Enel, it was an act of kindness that Ganfall couldn't ignore.

"Since you know our purpose, I hope you can cooperate," Daiki added. "We come in peace. Sky Island is vital to us, and we wish to avoid any unnecessary conflict."

Before arriving, Anos had instructed his team to minimize disputes in Sky Island, as it would soon become part of the Tru Kingdom.

For them, taking over Sky Island was imperative, and they were confident in their ability to do so.

Even without the full Tru Kingdom army, the forces present were more than enough to dominate this relatively small island.

Daiki maintained a composed demeanour, striving to appear non-threatening to the locals.

However, if cooperation wasn't forthcoming, he wouldn't hesitate to use every resource at his disposal.

In an age where pirates ran rampant, excessive kindness could often be interpreted as weakness and weakness was a luxury they couldn't afford.
