The Plan to Seize Sky Island

Chapter 19: Plan to Seize Sky Island

A whisper.

To Iceburg, it sounded as loud as an earthquake.

He turned his head, looking at the man who was already standing behind him.

"Resisting the World Government?"

His face, already covered in tears, flashed a bitter smile filled with hatred upon hearing these words.

Resisting the World Government, how could he not have thought of that?

After all, Tom, who was killed by the World Government, was practically a father figure to Iceburg.

But what good would thinking about it do?

The World Government, they were the overlords who ruled over more than 170 countries.

Facing this giant as tall as the Red Line Continent, what could Iceburg do? He could only bury his hatred deep within his heart.

Roy's words and Tom's corpse in front of him ignited all the hatred in his heart.

"Are you from the Revolutionary Army?"

The subconscious question made Roy chuckle.

"No, I'm not from the Revolutionary Army, nor do I belong to any faction.

I've already given you Mr. Tom's corpse. Iceburg, this is my contact information. I hope our next meeting will be very pleasant."

Under the moonlight, Roy vanished with a boom amidst Iceburg's shocked gaze.

Looking at the white Den Den Mushi that was thrown to him.

"Another force resisting the World Government!"

The coldness of the iron box in his palm made a spark of anticipation rise in Iceburg's eyes.

"Teacher Tom, do you think I can avenge you?"

The moonlight was exceptionally bright tonight. The familiar place, the familiar teacher, this was destined to be an unforgettable night for Iceburg and Franky.

Ignoring the two crying men behind him, and without elaborating on his identity, Roy knew that Tom's corpse wouldn't make these two men subservient to him.

They were both individuals with their own beliefs on the sea.

Although Tom's corpse could, to a certain extent, threaten them, Roy estimated that they wouldn't completely yield because of it.

Therefore, rather than threaten them, it was better to gain their favor and deepen future cooperation.

The world's largest shipyard, in Roy's eyes, was practically the lifeline of global transportation.

And Franky, who might become a crew member of the Child of Destiny in the future, had great value for Roy.

Roy wouldn't trust anyone with Pluton's blueprints.

In the future, Roy would retrieve Pluton's blueprints through his own means.

But for now, as he said before, it wasn't time yet.

Because the curtain of the new era had not yet been raised, and during this period, Roy still needed to wait quietly, just like that fat guy under Whitebeard; it wasn't his stage yet.

The crew members, arranged in advance in Water Seven, successfully received the five brand-new ships docked at the port.

As Roy carried his sun lounger and lay on the deck basking in the sun, puru-puru!

The sound of a Den Den Mushi came from inside his clothes.

He took out the specially bred Den Den Mushi from his pocket.

"Hello, sir. Excuse me, the future Galley-La Company is very willing to cooperate with you."

Click!

A brief sound came from the Den Den Mushi's mouth before it immediately hung up.

The opening remarks, like a salesperson's, made Roy smile.

"It seems the matter I asked my dad about back then has finally yielded results!

You know, I put in a lot of effort to intercept Tom's corpse and prevent him from being publicly displayed!"

Looking at the Den Den Mushi in his hand, which had hung up and was now in sleep mode.

"Indeed, all efforts will surely be richly rewarded in the grand scheme of things."

Establishing a relationship with Water Seven was an important part of Roy's future plans.

And now, with Iceburg's statement, it meant that Roy could obtain a large number of ships from Water Seven in the future.

In this world surrounded by the sea, ships were the most efficient means of transportation.

Whether it's the World Government or the Yonko, their rule relies on the assistance of ships.

Roy will definitely have his own business in the future, as well as his own territory to rule.

And among these, Water Seven, which can provide ships, will play an important role.

What's more, Roy highly values the craftsmanship of Iceburg and Franky.

While it's impossible for them to submit now, who knows what the future holds?

Five merchant ships were arranged on the sea like a flock of geese.

And their destination was none other than the resource islands obtained by Roy and Spandam.

Because these three resource islands are located quite spread out within Paradise, the first place Roy will head to this time is Red Copper Island, in the sea area near Jaya Island.

It is an island that the World Government forcibly annexed due to its abundance of red copper ore.

Although the island's copper ore production is no longer as prosperous as it was decades ago, its mineral content is still richer than that of ordinary islands.

The reason Roy chose to go to this island.

Although ostensibly to survey the territory he commands, it actually has little to do with the minerals on it.

As everyone knows, above Jaya Island, there is a vast cloud sea that never dissipates for a hundred years.

This cloud sea covers several shipping routes.

And the Red Copper Island that Roy intends to go to is actually within the coverage of this cloud sea.

Angel Island and Apis above Jaya Island are actually not the only two islands in the cloud sea.

This can be easily seen from Enel's hometown, Birka.

Although there is Gold City full of gold above Jaya Island, because Roy is wary of Enel's strength, Roy plans to conquer a Sky Island elsewhere.

And the sky above Red Copper Island is the place Roy specifically chose for this purpose.

Because although there are Cloud Islands in the sky, Roy believes the resources on them are very scarce.

Therefore, preliminary stationing and modification are necessary.

Thus, in Roy's plan, Red Copper Island is the transfer base for the equipment used in the initial modifications.

As for the corresponding modification technology, Roy had already visited Weatheria a few days ago.

Through Roy's substantial financial support and the replication of echo map's sound wave rebound, Roy has already obtained Salvia's independent flight technology for Sky Islands.

On this journey, Roy will not only seize a Cloud Island from the sky.

At the same time, he doesn't intend to let go of the natives in the sky either.

Because in Roy's plan, they are the most important labor force, and the modification of the Sky Islands cannot be done without them.
