At Upper Yard, Vermillion and Robin landed in front of the Poneglyph.
"This place does have a Poneglyph!" The surprised Robin stepped forward and touched the Poneglyph.
"Thank you for bringing me to this place... Without you, I'd probably be dead, and now you're even willing to take me to where the Poneglyph is." Robin suddenly hugged her benefactor gently.
"You're welcome. Didn't I tell you before? I'm interested in history myself." He replied while patting the girl's back.
"Robin, you can stay and study this Poneglyph. I will go take care of something. I'll pick you later." After a satisfied hug, Vermillion flew towards the crowd in Shandora.
Even though news of Enel's death had spread, the Shandia who wanted to take back their hometown were blocked by Enel's followers.
But, in the absence of Enel, the ferocious Shandia were not at all afraid of the priests and warriors.
While they were busy fighting, Vermillion suddenly landed in the middle of the war zone.
"Enough. Can you stop fighting in my territory?" He said as he materialized a ball of light in his palm.
"Y-you're the one who defeated Enel!" Wyper pointed at the man with a surprised expression. Instantly, his body stiffened, and his alertness rose.
When Enel's men saw the arrival of their "God" slayer, they stopped attacking the Shandia while staring at the uninvited guest with horrified expressions.
"Hello, new God, we didn't mean to offend you." The four former priests of Enel immediately knelt before the new lord.
Glancing at them briefly, Vermillion then looked at the Enel soldiers who had fled after stealing the gold. Pointing at them, he fired a golden light, followed by a loud explosion.
"You said I am a new God?" After finishing the thieves, he turned to the priests.
"Since you have defeated our previous ruler, you have automatically been crowned as the new God, and we are willing to offer you our loyalty."
"No need. Those who deserve to be punished need to follow in the footsteps of their old God." The tip of his index finger emitted light, which pierced through the criminals who deserved to be punished. As for the rest of the soldiers who were forced by Enel and enslaved by him, they would be detained for a while and then released if appropriate.
The Shandians, who witnessed several priests and Enel people being killed in the blink of an eye, sweated while looking at the man with concern, "What do you want?"
"Skypiea." He said to Wyper.
"Shandora is our homeland!"
"Wyper, calm yourself." Braham immediately stopped his friend.
Releasing his friend's grip, Wyper gave Vermillion a sharp look as he said, "No matter how strong you are, we won't give you this island." Hence, he prepared to attack the opponent.
"I claim this place, but that doesn't mean I won't allow you, Shandia, to live there."
"What?" Wyper was surprised, "What do you mean?"
"I am not Enel. As long as you obey my rules, you can live here peacefully."
"As long as we can live here... then we will accept your rules." Wyper, who had hesitated at first, finally gave his decision. Although he was not afraid of Vermillion, that did not mean he could defeat him. If he persisted in attacking Vermillion, Shandia would suffer extremely high casualties.
"Gan Fall, do you still want to hide? Come down." Vermillion suddenly turned his head somewhere.
Gan Fall, riding his Pegasus, dismounted slowly, "What kind of government are you planning?" He asked uneasily. If he could, he didn't want a second Enel.
