Dak handed the Goro Goro no Mi to Olvia, instructing her to give it to Sugar when she saw the girl.
Despite still being a young girl, Sugar had spent enough time with her sister in the Flower Street that she wasn't immature. On the contrary, she was thriving in the security department.
The girl had a bit of a serious personality, which actually helped her lead the security department effectively, maintaining the law and order of Alliance City and Fish-Man City.
In reality, if Sugar's activities were limited to Pokémon Island, there would be no need for her to consume the Goro Goro no Mi. It would be better to have Vegapunk design some combat suits for her.
But that wasn't going to happen.
The Pokémon Alliance didn't currently have a city or territory in the Pirate World, but that didn't mean they wouldn't in the future. As funds and manpower became available, new cities would need to be built.
Or perhaps some struggling country's king might decide to renounce their kingdom and join the Pokémon Alliance as a city to continue surviving.
At that time, these places would also need stationed security departments. Members stationed in the Pirate World would need not only strong Pokémon but also personal strength.
When Sugar arrived in the Pirate World, her youthful strength would be insufficient for safety.
But with the Goro Goro no Mi, even if she couldn't win a fight, she could use the fruit's abilities to escape instantly.
After dealing with this, Dak headed to the sky island once more. This time, he wasn't heading to Birka but to Angel Island, the island located 10,000 meters above Jaya Island.
This time, Dak's purpose was to find the final Gym Leader.
A Flying-type Gym Leader.
There were two candidates: "God" Gan Fall and the new leader of the Shandia tribe, the "Warrior" Wiper.
The former was more suitable.
This old man loved his people, was kind to others, and would fulfill his responsibilities as a Gym Leader, guiding failed challengers with kindness.
But the latter was also a choice.
As the descendant of the great warrior Kalgara, Wiper had excellent battle instincts and abilities. He was young, strong, determined, and brave. His character was similar to Zoro's—if Dak were to become a pirate, he would seek Wiper as a crew member.
It would depend on the situation.
Since Enel hadn't arrived on Angel Island and hadn't taken over God's Island, Apaya, these two groups were likely still in their 400-year-long war.
Ending this war was also one of Dak's objectives.
A 400-year-long war, ended just like that? With strength, anything was possible.
The war's cause was nothing more than the land.
Ridiculous.
Pokémon Island had as much land as needed.
"Who goes there?!"
As Dak floated above the White-White Sea, a group of figures approached on a boat.
These people had white wings on their backs, indicating they were from Angel Island and under Gan Fall's command.
"Since you asked sincerely, I'll mercifully answer."
Dak activated his mysterious switch, transforming into the King of Lies, "I am the King of Travel, traversing the galaxy, here to tour your sky island."
Dak was thrilled to find a place where he could spin tales. On the sea below, even on Fish-Man Island 10,000 meters below, there wasn't a place unaware of his title as the leader of the Alliance.
Only an isolated sky island like this could be unfamiliar with Dak.
Sky islands weren't unreachable. Besides the "Knock Up Stream," there was a regular route from the White-White Sea, where some sky islands could be found.
But usually, except for some merchants with flying abilities living off sky island products, no one risked traveling to the sky.
So sky islands might go a year without seeing an outsider.
The Pokémon Alliance had been in this world for less than six months, so it was no surprise Angel Island's inhabitants didn't recognize Dak.
"I see, a misunderstanding then. It's been a long time since we've seen someone flying."
The leader of the Angel Island defense team saluted Dak, sweating slightly as he glanced at the floating figure.
He had mistaken Dak for one of the Shandians, who could fly or glide using jet boots.
Sky islands were like the East Blue—an unusual sight, like a Devil Fruit user, could cause a stir.
Even if they were ordinary soldiers, Gan Fall would still be somewhat surprised by a Devil Fruit user, despite his horse, Pierre, being one who ate the Horse-Horse Fruit and became a Pegasus.
As for the rule about entering the sky island and paying a fee, that was a law enacted by Enel. During Gan Fall's time, there were no such strict rules. Angel Island was a relatively free place with no requirements for outsiders.
This was something Dak appreciated about Gan Fall.
This "God" not only treated his people well but was generally kind to everyone.
Even against the repeated attacks of the Shandians, he only ordered his priests to repel them, never considering wiping out their village.
Gan Fall didn't want war, but the land he stood on, Apaya, was a legacy from his ancestors 400 years ago. He couldn't give it up easily.
Moreover, Gan Fall didn't know Apaya was originally Shandia's land.
The history recorded by the victors of the battle, the people of Angel Island, was distorted, leading them to believe Apaya was a holy land that suddenly appeared.
The Shandians, on the other hand, had long given up on explaining, having been called liars and invaders repeatedly. Their patience was worn thin.
"You don't have to worry about me. I'll just look around."
Dak casually greeted and then disappeared using the powers of the Door-Door Fruit.
Could he tell these people he was there to "convince" their God?
Of course not.
Apaya was easy to find as it was very close to Angel Island, visible as a large primitive forest.
"By the way, the city of gold should be here."
The thought of the golden city of Shandora made Dak nearly drool.
While this money couldn't be converted into PokéCoins, the Pokémon Alliance's expenses on the sea were enormous.
Whether recruiting workers for Tom or buying research materials for Vegapunk, the costs were immense.
Not to mention, the Navy still hadn't been given a clear answer, making Sengoku anxious.
"."
At this moment, Dak had a new thought, which was growing rapidly.
But he knew what he needed to do first, so he headed straight to the "God's Palace" on the giant vine.
"Who are you?"
Gan Fall had just woken up from his afternoon nap when he saw a green-haired young man step out of a door in the air.
It nearly gave him a heart attack.
"I am Dak, leader of the Pokémon Alliance. You can learn about our organization later. Right now, I have three things to discuss with you."
Dak didn't joke this time but went straight to the point.
"You may speak."
Though Dak's tone was firm, Gan Fall was patient and didn't get angry at the rudeness.
"Hold on."
Dak was about to speak but paused, "Darkrai, bring the Shandian chief and their strongest young warrior here."
"Dak."
Darkrai silently emerged from the shadows, startling Gan Fall again.
Now, he understood that Dak was very powerful, at least not someone he could handle.
But since Dak was willing to "discuss," he assumed the young man wasn't unreasonable.
"Sigh."
Gan Fall sighed.
He hoped Dak wouldn't be too difficult. As long as his people weren't harmed, anything could be discussed.
Within ten minutes, Darkrai returned, opening a dark void from which an old and a young man, both asleep, fell out.
The difference between them and Gan Fall was evident.
Gan Fall's attire was clean and neat, while the Shandians were almost naked, their skin rough from the elements.
Dak used his psychic powers to wake them and introduced himself briefly.
Young Wiper was clearly agitated, wanting to attack Gan Fall, but Dak's psychic grip held him still.
"Let's start with my purposes for being here."
"First, from now on, the war between the Shandians and the people of Angel Island ends."
"The people of Angel Island will return Apaya to the Shandians, as it is their ancestral land. As for you, I can compensate you with more holy lands than you can imagine."
