Renovating the Sky Island and Continuing the Conquest

Chapter 23: Remodeling Sky Island and Continuing Conquest

Red Copper Island has been unusually busy lately.

Of course, this busyness doesn't refer to arduous mining, but rather to Roy's orders. Everyone on the entire island is currently forging parts they don't understand, following blueprints distributed by Roy.

In the past, Red Copper Island was only responsible for mining, not forging.

However, after Owl brought back a group of slaves with forging talent from Alabasta, along with the corresponding basic materials.

Red Copper Island, after significant remodeling by Roy, has now become a massive factory.

And while everyone on Red Copper Island was working fervently for Roy.

To solve the famine on Puka.

Roy personally captured two Sea Kings from the ocean and transported them via Island Cloud to the island in the sky.

With an abundance of food, the Sky Islanders on Puka became even more devoted to Roy.

Now, Roy's word is the highest authority on Puka.

Therefore, as Roy proposed his plan to remodel Sky Island, all Sky Islanders are now making corresponding modifications to Puka according to Roy's will.

Large quantities of basic components were transported to Sky Island for assembly.

As for the remaining high-tech equipment, Roy is spending lavishly to purchase it on the black market.

Roy intends to transform the Sky Islands under his command into aerial bases capable of autonomous flight.

Furthermore, in his future plans, Roy's bases will not only fly in the sky, but he also needs to prepare ammunition and lava, one by one.

It can be said that in Roy's future plans, the entire Puka Island is a flying war fortress.

And Roy also hopes that one day, when facing Aokiji, he can unleash an automated Volcanic Meteor.

When a person gains power and control, every word they utter can send those below scrambling.

As Red Copper Island and Puka Island operated according to Roy's will.

Spandam, on two other islands far away.

Because Roy lingered on Red Copper Island for so long, Spandam has been exhausted lately, working like a dog.

He initially had many complaints about this, but after Roy voluntarily gave up his authority over one island.

Spandam, who is easily swayed by money, immediately granted Roy a long vacation.

As Roy's savings rapidly depleted and were converted into vast amounts of materials transported to the sky.

Puka Island is now changing daily, having completely lost its original appearance.

The people of Puka Island have no complaints about this; instead, they are overjoyed.

Because as Roy continuously transports supplies to Puka Island, all the original inhabitants of Puka Island know that the island's resources have surpassed its most prosperous times.

Large amounts of soil are being laid on the white island.

These materials, once considered treasures, are now being transported to the sky without regard for cost.

As the Sky Islanders' worship of Roy grows, Roy's control over Puka Island strengthens daily.

Gazing at the vast, white Cloud Sea in the distance.

Roy knew it was time to make a move against the Four Island Alliance.

Because in his grand plan, a mere barren Puka Island could not satisfy the needs of his aerial base.

He needs a large labor force to build his Sky Islands, and most of the people on Puka are currently weak women and children.

In short, Roy finds Puka Island too small and desires more Sky Islander slaves.

Although Roy recently attempted to transport people from the Blue Sea to the Cloud Islands in the sky, this plan was clearly unsuccessful.

Due to the air pressure and extreme environment ten thousand meters above, the slaves who arrived suffered severe altitude sickness. Not everyone is a member of the Straw Hat Pirates, and it's clear that ten thousand meters high is an immense challenge for ordinary slaves.

Under these circumstances, Roy abandoned the idea of transporting slaves from the Blue Sea.

To remodel the Sky Islands more quickly, developing Sky Islands with Sky Islanders has become Roy's only viable option.

Albert and the others naturally supported Roy's proposal with both hands.

The previous defeat in the war was undoubtedly a great pain for Albert and the others.

And when Roy proposed conquering those four islands.

Facing such a great opportunity for revenge, how could the people of Puka Island not agree?

Because Roy is confident in his own strength, and Puka Island is currently populated by women and children who also require continuous labor.

Therefore, Roy only brought Albert and began controlling an Island Cloud, flying rapidly towards the Kalia Alliance.

The Cloud Sea where Puka Island is located is called the Roiling White Sea by the Sky Islanders.

Puka and the four islands of the Kalia Alliance are currently the five most powerful islands within this Roiling White Sea.

Puka Island is located in the southwestern corner of this Roiling White Sea.

The four islands of the Kalia Alliance, although scattered, are much closer to each other compared to Puka Island.

In the usual wars, Puka Island would be the one attacking these four islands.

If it weren't for the fact that this time, the Roiling White Sea experienced a Locust Fish Swarm, a disaster of extinction.

In fact, according to Roy's and the current situation's estimates, the four islands of the Kalia Alliance would ultimately be devoured by Puka.

Perhaps the higher-ups of the Kalia Alliance also noticed this. That's why this time, taking advantage of the Locust Fish Swarm disaster, they uncharacteristically abandoned their mutual hatred and united, turning their attention to Puka, their most powerful enemy.

As for why they didn't attack Puka while its army was defeated.

According to the reason Roy obtained from Albert, it was because although Puka suffered heavy losses, the Four Island Alliance was also crippled.

Under these circumstances, while they could pursue Puka's army over short distances, a long-distance expedition was already an unrealistic action.

After all, according to the information they obtained from prisoners, Puka had already been gnawed into barren land by the fish swarm.

The Island Cloud controlled by Roy was dozens of times faster than Puka's War Island Cloud.

Following the direction Albert pointed.

Through the exploration of the Echo Map.

Soon, Roy discovered an island, nearly one-third the size of Puka Island, hidden within the Cloud Sea.

"Is this Kalia?"
