After the auction ended, Kahn bid farewell to a heartbroken Doflamingo and took Robin and the girls back to the ship, preparing to leave North Blue and return to Amazon Lily.
Despite having had a meal with Doflamingo a few days ago, Kahn didn't see the Donquixote Family as significant enough to warrant staying longer to build a relationship.
Kahn planned to consider Doflamingo a real ally once the Donquixote Family entered the New World and became one of the giants in its dark world, with their business spreading globally. Until then, staying on would likely make Doflamingo uneasy.
Kahn knew Monet and Sugar would join the Donquixote Family in five years, so he wasn't in a hurry to find them immediately. This wasn't his last visit to North Blue.
When Trafalgar Law's lifespan dwindled to less than three years, the Paramecia Op-Op Fruit, worth 5 billion berries, would appear. Kahn was determined to acquire it.
Diez Barrels, who obtained the Paramecia Op-Op Fruit and was also the father of X Drake, one of the "Worst Generation" pirates, stated that even a mediocre doctor who ate the Op-Op Fruit would become a world-renowned doctor. Such a doctor should be part of the Cross Family, which aims to dominate the medical field worldwide.
By securing the Paramecia Op-Op Fruit and cultivating the world's top doctor, the Cross Family could establish hospitals globally and become the leading authority in the medical field.
When the new king of Drum Island took office and drove out Wapol, who had eaten the Paramecia Munch-Munch Fruit, along with the doctors who had enriched the country, Kahn would invite those doctors to join the Cross Family as hospital directors and attending physicians worldwide.
Back in the New World, Kahn had much to do.
After three years of preparation and the return of the three Boa sisters, the Cross Family was ready to soar.
Five days later, after deliberately slowing down their speed, their ship finally returned to Amazon Lily.
Sonia and Mary, representing Hancock, immediately announced the news of Amazon Lily's relocation to the soldiers and citizens.
"Roar..."
Two days later, a dragon's roar that shook all souls and resounded through the sky emerged from the palace of Amazon Lily.
A massive, blue, four-legged dragon, about 150 meters in length with a wingspan of 100 meters, soared into the sky.
Its huge shadow covered the sky and the sun, casting a dark shadow over the entire city.
The soldiers and citizens, having never seen such a legendary creature, looked up in terror and awe at the blue-sky dragon.
Boom...
After a moment, the warriors and citizens of Amazon Lily finally understood how the island's relocation would be achieved.
The dragon, now 150 meters long and glowing with dazzling blue light, emitted endless blue light, creating a barrier that encased the island.
Simultaneously, a mild earthquake shook Amazon Lily, but it quickly subsided.
Some Kuja warriors hunting near the coast noticed the sea level had dropped. The island was slowly being lifted by the immense power of the dragon, preparing for its journey to a new location.
Taking a closer look, they realized that Amazon Lily was floating in the air.
Using telekinetic power to support the entire island, Tianlong flapped its nearly 100-meter-long wings, creating a gust-like airflow and flying towards the New World.
This journey lasted a week.
Flying and stopping along the way, Tianlong finally arrived at Dressrosa with Amazon Lily in September.
This time, Kahn did not immediately set Amazon Lily down but began adjusting the island's position.
Similar to Charlotte Linlin's Totto Land, with Cake Island as the main island and surrounding 14 islands, Kahn arranged Amazon Lily as the main island with Dressrosa, Morlaix Island, and Green Bit, a specialized medicinal island, positioned to the southeast, north, and southwest of Amazon Lily.
Morlaix Island and Green Bit were positioned north and south, separated by Amazon Lily.
These two islands represented the arms and drug businesses of the Cross Family.
Dressrosa, on the other hand, was located to the east.
An additional island with a large cross on it was situated to the west.
The return of Blue Sky Dragon immediately attracted the attention of the people of Dressrosa and outsiders.
For outsiders visiting Dressrosa for the first time and witnessing the legendary "Walking Natural Disaster," the sight of the huge sky dragon left them dumbfounded.
Knowing that Cross Kahn and Dressrosa had a cooperative and allied relationship, these weak onlookers were relieved their legs weren't trembling in fear.
Eyeliners from major forces and paparazzi seeking big news looked astonished. Some showed horror, while others were ecstatic.
Among the crowd, well-disguised individuals walked to deserted places, took out Den Den Mushi, and reported the significant information they discovered to their superiors.
Meanwhile, paparazzi rushed to the shores of Dressrosa, taking crazy pictures of Amazon Lily landing next to Dressrosa.
Amazon Lily was a small island, similar to Green Bit and Dressrosa.
The city was located in the island's centre, with primaeval jungles on the outskirts.
From the outside, the island looked like an ordinary small uninhabited island.
But this island had a very distinct feature.
A very large rocky mountain with nine giant white snake sculptures hovered at the top, and two big red characters were written on the mountain wall named "Kuja."
Ordinary people found the words "Kuja" strange.
But the paparazzi and eyeliners felt a sense of familiarity.
Realizing why the words "Kuja" were familiar and their significance shocked them, leading to the frenzy.
For hundreds of years, Amazon Lily stayed in the Calm Belt.
Generally, only when the queen was on an expedition did the "Kuja Pirates" appear on the Grand Line, along with the "Amazon Lily Kingdom."
The legendary island of fantasy, Amazon Lily, as famous as Fish-Man Island, was brought to the New World by the "Walking Natural Disaster," Cross Kahn.
This news was a sensation in the New World and even worldwide.
