This was the first time Anos had lost his temper since arriving in Skypiea, and his anger was still palpable.
The entire hall fell silent for a long time; no one dared to speak or make a move.
After everyone quieted down, Anos turned to Daiki and said, "Prioritize the planning of the site area. As for the specific facilities, including the buildings, they can all be cut and processed by the cloud materials of Angel Island. Everything must be completed within three months. Once all preparations are done, I will open the personnel channel in three months, and formal training will commence."
"Understood, Your Majesty. I will complete the task within three months!" Daiki stood up and replied resolutely.
Although three months was not an extended period, it was sufficient for their needs.
A training ground spanning ten square kilometers was not an insurmountable challenge, especially for those with Devil Fruit abilities. It was troublesome but not impossible.
"Your Majesty, if there is anything you need assistance with from us on Angel Island, please let us know," Gan Fall said earnestly.
"There aren't many requirements for now," Anos replied, "but make it clear to everyone: from this moment on, Upper Yard will become an absolute restricted area. No one is allowed to enter without permission."
"Another matter concerns trade. After three months, materials will start being transported here regularly, and the trade system will gradually be established. For Angel Island, select an area to serve as a hub for buying and selling goods."
Anos paused to consider, then continued, "The small group from Shandora will have little impact for now. If not for the risk of causing unrest on Angel Island, I wouldn't hesitate to eliminate them outright."
Wyper, the leader of the Shandians, understood this sentiment all too well.
Here, he had no right to voice opinions or make choices; his only option was to follow orders. The uncertainty of his future weighed on him.
"Your Majesty, everyone else has been assigned a task. What should I do?" Abona, who had been silently observing, finally stood and spoke.
"There is indeed something for you," Anos responded. "Daiki has marked the location of Shandora. You and your team must gather and sort everything of value there. Take whatever is useful, but leave behind the Golden Bell it is sacred to the Shandians."
Anos smirked. Taking advantage of the gold in Shandora was practical. Since no one else could use it, why not bring it back for their own purposes?
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding. The Shandians will forever be grateful," Wyper said emotionally. The mention of leaving the Golden Bell behind had deeply moved him.
They had searched for it for centuries, and now, Anos was willing to honor their beliefs by leaving it intact.
"It doesn't have to be this way," Anos said calmly. "If the Shandians are seeking a role, you will guard the gates of Skypiea from now on. While it's rare for outsiders to reach this place, it's still possible for some to slip through. Can you handle this responsibility?"
Wyper responded immediately, "You can count on us, Your Majesty. The Shandians will never disappoint you!"
"Your current strength is insufficient," Anos noted. "In the future, I will arrange for someone to train your warriors. Don't underestimate the position of gatekeepers it's more challenging than it seems."
This mix of support and criticism was a calculated move on Anos's part, demonstrating his mastery of leadership.
While he had taken a life earlier, the Shandians understood the gravity of the situation careless words could lead to disaster.
"Go back and coordinate with Gan Fall," Anos instructed. "There are two paths to Skypiea. If you encounter intruders beyond your ability to stop, simply report it.
"Additionally, tomorrow we will lead the Shandians to assist Abona in recovering the Golden Bell. All other treasures will be sorted and managed by Abona."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wyper replied respectfully.
Anos then addressed the entire assembly. "Prepare for your respective tasks. From now on, the Shandians and the people of Angel Island must coexist peacefully. This is not just about survival but about building a future."
"From this moment forward, all of you are my people, and I will treat everyone equally. However, in the Kingdom of Tru, betrayal is the gravest offense. Keep that in mind."
Standing tall, Anos concluded the meeting, summarizing the decisions and plans for the months ahead.
However, he had no intention of leaving Skypiea anytime soon there was still an essential task to complete: constructing a space teleportation array to connect Tru Kingdom with Skypiea.
The array would require significant resources, but with Anos's system abilities, it was merely a matter of expenditure.
After the meeting, Gan Fall and Weibo departed, leaving the hall quiet once more.
"Daiki," Anos called, "which location on the island do you think is best suited for the portal?"
Having explored Skypiea extensively, Daiki would know the most strategic location.
