Reincarnated into the world of One Piece, in a land of giants with open eyes?!

Chapter 61: The Kingdom of Gaya

Chapter 62: The Kingdom of Gaya

The Golden Ark descended upon Angel Island once more, anchoring at the Cloud Shore in front of the Shrine of God.

Unlike before, this time Oro was followed by several Shandian representatives, led by the old Shandian chieftain and the warrior Tolek.

Their appearance immediately caused a commotion around the shrine, and the white beret members who remained behind tensed up, their hands unconsciously resting on their weapons.

Ignoring the tense atmosphere, Oro led the representatives of Shandia into the main hall of the shrine.

Gan Fall remained seated on his throne on the high platform, but his expression was more solemn than before, his gaze sweeping back and forth between Oro and the Shandians.

Beside him stood four angels, each with a distinct aura. They wore unique attire, different from the white berets, and their sharp eyes held scrutiny and undisguised hostility as they looked at Oro.

"Gan Fall, as promised, I have passed the trials of God, not only reaching the finish line in Apayado, but also ringing the golden bell, fulfilling the legend."

Oro cut to the chase, stepping aside to reveal the old Shandian chieftain behind him: "At the same time, I also bring the will of the Shandian tribe. The four-hundred-year war officially ends from this moment on."

"Finish?"

A tall priest standing next to Gan Fall couldn't help but step forward, his tone full of doubt and dissatisfaction: "You say it's over and that's it? You didn't even pass any of the trials!"

"You just flew there using some strange ability!"

"This is completely against the rules! This is blasphemy against the trials of God!"

Another priest holding a cloud shell sneered in agreement: "That's right! Without being tested, how can you prove that you are qualified to decide the fate of the Sky Island?"

"Who knows if you used some tricks to deceive these Shandians!"

The four priests stepped forward simultaneously, their auras surging, clearly indicating that they did not intend to easily accept this outcome.

They have long controlled the trials and hold a special position on the Sky Island. Oro's actions undoubtedly infringe upon their authority and interests.

Gan Fall's lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but looking at the agitated priests, he remained silent.

Faced with the priest's interrogation and the subtle encirclement, Oro's face remained completely expressionless.

He didn't bother to look at the four priests, but instead turned his gaze to Gan Fall and said indifferently, "Whether I am qualified or not is not determined by outdated rules, but by the results and power I bring."

"Arrogant!"

The tall priest who spoke first roared angrily and pushed off with his feet, about to launch an attack.

However, the moment his muscles tensed, something unexpected happened!

The white cloud-like floor beneath the four priests' feet suddenly liquefied, and the shimmering liquid gold transformed into tentacles that shot up at a speed impossible to detect with the naked eye!

Golden tentacles instantly wrapped around their ankles, calves, arms, and even waists. Before the priests could react, they were firmly bound!

The golden tentacles quickly solidified, forming an unbreakable shackle that fixed them in place, rendering them unable to move.

They tried to struggle and use the shellfish powers in their hands, but the golden shackles sealed off all the points of force in their bodies, preventing them from exerting even a shred of strength.

They could only stand still in their ridiculous forward-charging posture, their faces filled with shock, anger, and disbelief.

The whole process happened in the blink of an eye. Apart from Oro, Gails, Gan Fall, and the old chief of Shandia, everyone else in the hall was stunned.

The old chief of Shandia looked at Gan Fall, who remained silent on the high platform, and chuckled inwardly at the man's petty tricks.

Whether it's an attempt to put on a show and shift blame, or a reluctant test, directing such a pointless drama is truly undignified.

Oro looked at the four forbidden priests and slowly said, "I'm too lazy to play your boring trial games. What, you're not convinced?"

"The war is over, that's a given. My patience is limited, don't try to test my limits with your ridiculous performance."

Oro's gaze swept over Gan Fall, who remained silent on the platform: "Do I need to explain the current situation to you all in a more direct way?"

Gan Fall took a deep breath and tried to keep his voice steady: "I beg Your Excellency Orichum to forgive my subordinate's offense. It was my fault for not disciplining him properly. Please forgive me."

Oro waved his hand, and the four priests were thrown out by the gold.

The priests were thrown to the ground, their faces turning red and blue, but they dared not make any further provocative moves. They silently got up from the ground, then retreated to the edge of the hall, lowered their heads, and made no further sound.

The disparity in strength is too great; any resistance is futile.

Oro walked to the center of the hall and began to explain his specific plans for the future of Sky Island.

"First, there's the political structure."

Oro's voice was clear: "The Sky Islands, including Angel Island and Apayado, will be merged and established as the Sky Islands Administrative Region," belonging to the Gaya United Kingdom, with Gaya Island at its core.

"I, Orikum Oro, serve as Grand President and possess supreme decision-making power in the military, judiciary, and executive branches."

He looked at Gan Fall and the old chief of Shandia: "At the same time, the Sky Island Council will be established within the Kingdom of the United States."

"The two of you can enter the council as representatives of your respective tribes and have the right to make suggestions to me regarding the development of the Sky Island."

"I make the decisions on major matters."

Gan Fall and the old chief listened quietly, remaining silent.

"Secondly, there's communication."

Oro continued, "The connection between Sky Island and Blue Ocean Gaya Island must be unimpeded."

"I will have someone bring up the Den Den Mushi from Gaya Island to study how to combine it with the Sound Shells from your Sky Island to establish a preliminary Sky-Sea Communication System. This will ensure that the transmission of information between the upper and lower levels no longer depends on chance and human effort."

Thirdly, there is transportation.

Auro looked out at the boundless sea of ​​clouds outside the palace: "Relying on the rising ocean currents to travel back and forth is too risky and inefficient."

"I have designed a regularly operated elevator ship that uses refined gold as its core energy source and stabilizing device."

"In the future, traveling between the sky and the sea will be as routine as a regular voyage."

"Fourth, is the economy, which is of paramount importance."

Oro's tone became more serious, and he made no attempt to hide his intentions: "Sky islands possess unique resources, especially the vast reserves of gold on Apayado."

"I will systematically recycle the gold on the sky islands, collect it, smelt and purify it, and then give it new value and purpose."

Oro outlined his future plans: "A portion of the gold will be used to build a central affairs hall next to that enormous vine in Apayado."

"It will serve as the power center of the Unicron Kingdom on Skypiea, heralding a new era!"
