In the end, Arthur named the intelligence organization the Intelligence Division and handed it over to Jessica.
The original plan was to activate those pirates, but the strategy to attract them with gold was slightly altered. Initially, they were not the only ones retrieved from the encounter with the Shiki.
There is also a group of humans with feathers on their arms, appearing almost identical to regular humans when wearing sleeves, concealing their distinct features.
This situation requires discreet handling. Since it involves an intelligence organization, making a big show is not appropriate.
Jessica felt a bit excited about the task Arthur assigned to her and found it intriguing. Initially, the girl who sought adventure at sea had taken few risks after joining Arthur.
Her dream was largely shattered, but now the mission of the Intelligence Division offered her a chance to explore. Her task was to establish an intelligence office in the Grand Line and the Four Seas.
With the Fuwa Fuwa no Mi's abilities, gathering and organizing people wasn't difficult. Moreover, having experienced various colors and armed colors, there were few who could match her in the first half of the Grand Line.
Subsequently, Arthur focused on affairs in several countries, such as currency reform and innovation. The previous currency's value was much lower than that of Bailey and was prone to counterfeiting.
Therefore, Arthur specifically ensured robust anti-counterfeiting measures to achieve high-level security in this area. The newly designed currency was essentially identical to Bailey's.
Besides currency, Arthur also devised plans in various areas like people's well-being, architecture, environment, and technology. The goal was to create a balanced and thriving nation, unlike those in Qinghai biased towards one aspect.
Around a few months after the World timeline calendar of 1517, a piece of great news emerged unexpectedly.
After Arthur, with Jessica's help, relocated the seven islands last year, the remaining island foundations were repurposed as shell farms.
During this time, manual construction and preparation were ongoing. An astonishing discovery surprised Arthur: surviving shells were found in cracks in the old island sites, believed to be extinct.
These included Breeze shells, Row-hit shells, and others. These shellfish had begun to vanish from sky islands centuries ago, yet a few remained hidden in the island depths.
This find amazed Arthur. Shells like Light-jet scallops, Platoon scallops, and even legendary ones like Burning scallops, Laser scallops, Large-scale light scallops, Discharge scallops, and Lightning scallops were discovered.
Among these, the Electric shell and Lightning shell thrilled the most. Both could store and release lightning, serving practical functions.
The lightning shells' storage capacity surpasses the electric shells by more than tenfold. To utilize these currents steadily, all that's required is constructing a voltage regulator.
Upon hearing this news, Arthur transformed into thunder and lightning, flying to the islands for his first personal inspection.
For their contribution, Arthur rewarded those who discovered these extinct shellfish with a chance to obtain IQ grass.
After confirmation, the jet-wind shells proved identical to the remaining jet-air Capone Bege on the sky island. The burning shells were dozens of times more potent than the fire-burning shells used there.
Laser shells could emit laser light but had limited power, mainly effective against non-Haki proficient major generals if employed in an army.
The large light shell goes without saying. The focus is on electric and lightning shells. Arthur's experiments indicated electric shells could store between 150 million to 2 million volts of lightning.
Thunder Bay, at 25 million to 30 million volts, proved extremely practical.
Additionally, some Raiden shells with incredibly high storage capacities, ranging from 50 million to 100 million volts, were discovered.
This series of discoveries was a cascade of surprises! Arthur obtained some top-tier thunder and lightning shells and directed all other extinct shells to Raijin Island for specialized research and breeding.
Preserving these last extinct shellfish is paramount!
The significance of this endeavor is rarely acknowledged on Sky Island. Government figures like Gan Fall also recognize its importance. A dedicated breeding base was established in the expansive in Raijin Island.
Traditionally, people in Kong haven't practiced shellfish breeding. They typically collect them from beaches, identify their type, and decide how to use them.
As a result, kong and Capone Bege lacked experience in this field. However, under Arthur's guidance, elderly individuals knowledgeable about shellfish were tasked with cultivating them, particularly the extinct varieties.
Sky Island's unique shells are undeniably treasures of the world! They greatly aid Arthur's future plans, making shellfish cultivation essential.
Even if no extinct shells were found, Arthur would have prioritized this initiative recently.
The shellfish breeding project is now established. Arthur has a new plan for the next stage.
