No one expected that this trip to Skypiea would be resolved so smoothly.

Everyone achieved the results they desired. For Skypiea, nothing was truly lost, and overall, the advantages far outweighed any disadvantages.

Gan Fall understood, and Wyper understood as well, that the centuries-long conflict between the Shandians and Angel Island had now come to an end.

It seemed as though no one had lost anything in this negotiation, and everyone had gained substantial benefits. For them, this was already a near-perfect resolution.

Now that the matter of the Shandians and the residents of Angel Island was settled, the next focus naturally shifted to the Tru Kingdom's plans for Skypiea.

Anos was not concerned about his plans being discovered. From Skypiea to the Blue Sea, few people would have a clear understanding of the developments happening on the island.

Anos picked up the survey map provided by Daiki. The map contained detailed information, especially about the land, with clear markings of the key areas.

This map would serve as the foundation for the future establishing a training area capable of hosting tens of thousands of people.

"Your Majesty, we have mapped out the area necessary for our future training ground. The forest can remain untouched; only the Shandora area needs development."

As Anos studied the map, Daiki, anticipating his intentions, stood and began to explain.

Shandora, once an ancient city, had sparse vegetation. Its barren nature made it the most time-efficient and labor-saving area to develop.

"How many people can it accommodate?"

Anos asked calmly.

However, Wyper and Gan Fall, who were present, were growing increasingly uneasy. They didn't fully understand the conversation between Anos and Daiki.

But one thing was clear: the Tru Kingdom's interest in Skypiea undoubtedly had a hidden purpose.

Daiki thought for a moment before replying, "If we utilize a 10-kilometer radius around Shandora, it could accommodate up to 50,000 people."

The space would be sufficient, with each 2-square-kilometer section capable of supporting 10,000 people for training.

Moreover, Shandora's location on the edge of Skypiea made it relatively concealed, ensuring privacy for their operations.

Anos nodded thoughtfully. Fifty thousand people would be sufficient for the Tru Kingdom's initial phase of expansion. Supporting such a vast endeavour required meticulous planning and foresight.

The overall landmass of Skypiea was more than adequate. In fact, it could potentially accommodate even half a million people if necessary.

While Wyper did not fully understand the plans, one thing was clear: the Tru Kingdom intended to use Skypiea as a massive training ground for their forces.

Gan Fall, too, began to realize the true purpose behind the Tru Kingdom's acquisition of Skypiea.

Yet, since this arrangement brought no harm to the native residents of Skypiea, he saw no reason to object.

Both Gan Fall and Wyper chose to remain silent, knowing that opposing Anos now would be futile. Control of Skypiea had already been secured.

As the conversation continued, a Shandian named Raki, who had been silent until now, suddenly stood up angrily.

"This is our land! Do you intend to move your entire kingdom to Skypiea?"

Anos, who had been deep in thought, was instantly enraged by the outburst.

Now that Skypiea was under his control, someone dared to oppose him openly. His eyes locked onto Raki, and in the next instant, his overwhelming Conqueror's Haki (Haoshoku Haki) surged forth, targeting only her.

Before anyone else could react, Raki collapsed to the ground, unconscious, unable to withstand the sheer force of his Haki.

The room fell into stunned silence.

Wyper, shocked and furious, watched as one of his own fell lifelessly to the floor without warning.

Anos's voice rang out coldly, his gaze fixed on Wyper.

"Chief Wyper, let this be the first and last time such insolence occurs. If it happens again, I will personally intervene to manage the Shandians."

Wyper, still reeling from what he had witnessed, could only nod in acknowledgement. The display of power left him with no choice.

"I will ensure that none of my people acts out again," Wyper replied respectfully, suppressing his anger.

Anos scanned the room, his tone was cold yet commanding.

"We are now one family. I will give you what you want, but I expect no one to cross the Tru Kingdom's bottom line."

This statement served as both a warning and a reminder. Individuals like Raki were likely not the only ones harbouring resentment.

A show of force was necessary to establish order.

This warning was clearly effective. Both Gan Fall and the priests, who had remained silent, were visibly shaken.

Although the Tru Kingdom's initial interest was limited to Shandora, the use of power as a deterrent ensured no further resistance.

Ultimately, the Tru Kingdom's actions in Skypiea were peaceful yet firm, claiming the island without unnecessary harm while cementing their authority through strategic intimidation.
