[Poluporu, Polluporu]

Just as Imu was listening to soothing music and reviewing government documents, the golden Den Den Mushi opened its eyes and started chirping.

The next second.

Without him making any move, the Den Den Mushi flew to his side automatically, and as the microphone on its back gently rose and fell, it immediately spoke in a pleasant and charming female voice.

It's Stussy.

"Your Saint Nerona, the construction team from the Construction Division has arrived in Elbess."

"Knew."

Imu placed the document in his hand on the table and stood up. The words "King of Shipping" and "White Dragon" were faintly visible on it.

Upon arriving outside the palace, I first glanced at Enel, who was working hard to lift weights and train his physique in the square, and Tesoro, who was practicing 'Geppo' under the guidance of a Cipher Pol. Not far away, Stacy was still quietly waiting with a towel and water in hand.

This scene has become the norm here recently.

However, his main reason for coming out this time was to see Pica and Teach, who had disguised themselves as 'construction workers'.

Although it was possible to switch the live stream to the Visual Den Den Mushi at hand, Imu still decided to walk to the edge of the Ark and see for himself.

Although his eyesight is far inferior to that of Devil Fruit User with a field of vision of four thousand kilometers, it is still no problem to see more than ten kilometers.

After watching for a short while, I found it uninteresting.

Because they are cutting down trees

Of course, there's no problem with that. Ninety-nine percent of Elbess Island is covered by a sea of trees, so if you want to build an Air Force Headquarters here, you'll definitely have to clear it out first.

But what Imu wanted to see was the scene that Pica and Teach would create using their own abilities.

"Sir, these are the design drawings for the Air Force Headquarters sent by the Construction Division."

Just as he was feeling disappointed, Stussy, still wearing a black dress, black stockings, and high heels, walked over from behind, swaying her curvaceous figure, and then controlled the Den Den Mushi to project the design into the air.

"So many airstrips, it seems they've absorbed the experience from Demon Slayer World."

Imu examined the design drawings with great interest.

The outline of this Elbess Island, is almost identical to that of Marineford, the Marine Headquarters, both resembling large circles without a gap.

The gap forms a standard bay surrounded by land on three sides, making it an ideal location for a port.

However, compared to Marineford, Elbess has a giant, towering vine at its center.

Therefore, the Air Force Headquarters in this design is spread out around it, and then straight horizontal and vertical runways are drawn around it.

Take a look at the data listed above.

The Air Force Headquarters covers an area of 1,126 square kilometers, which is also the total area of Elbess Island.

It has three main runways, each ten kilometers long, facing north, west, and east respectively, and twenty-one crisscrossing turning runways, each one kilometer long.

In terms of architecture.

In addition to the necessary headquarters fortress, the first phase of the plan includes the construction of 700 officers' villas and 250 dormitory buildings, each with ten floors, which can accommodate 200,000 personnel.

It also includes essential large-scale maintenance facilities, large Air Force hospitals, large Air Force restaurants, and facilities with various training capabilities.

On this basis, a certain amount of greenery was also ensured, so not all trees were cut down.

Finally, the approximate estimated completion time is listed as 'one year'!

A year~

Imu remembered that in his previous life, it would take at least four to five years for a country with maxed-out infrastructure skills to build a large airport.

What does this mean?

That's equivalent to building an 18-story skyscraper every day!

But the current World Government is four to five times more efficient, which is terrifying. Of course, he also knows that Pica and Teach's abilities played a major role in this.

"Looks like we should treat them better from now on, that's great!"

Imu's admiring gaze pierced through the layers of void beneath Noah, landing on Pica and Teach, who were feasting on a cement table piled high with food in the camp.

The two seemed to be getting along quite well; one was eating meat with gusto, while the other kept stuffing Cherry pie into his mouth, chatting and laughing, occasionally bursting into laughter.

"It seems Teach has adapted to his new role."

Imu was pleased with this, and then turned and returned to his palace, where there were three things he absolutely had to do on his daily schedule.

One task is to read the important report sent by the Five Elders, which will take about two hours.

Then, by using the 'Enma Blade' to send one's soul into the Underworld, one can slay Evil Spirit in the Underworld to enhance one's soul strength, thereby indirectly improving one's overall power. This process takes about seven hours.

It used to take more than twelve hours, but recently he added a new task for himself.

Reading.

Books related to medicine.

The goal is to memorize them all. This would have been impossible for my past self, but it's not difficult for my current memory.

The main difficulty lies in the tedium and length of the process.

Below.

On Elbess Island, the Shandians, also in the Construction Division's camp, watched as towering trees fell one after another before their eyes.

To them, the sound was the mournful cry of the trees.

This island is called 'Jaya', 'ancestral land', 'homeland' by them.

According to their tradition, cutting down trees is a matter to be treated with great care, and they will never cut down trees lightly unless absolutely necessary.

But at this moment...

He was also holding a chainsaw!

"Why do you insist on having us join the tree-cutting team? You seem to have plenty of manpower!"

Geronimo, a descendant of the great Calgara, the father of the future 'War Demon' Wyper, and currently the strongest Shandia warrior, questioned the Construction Division in front of him with a dark expression.

They had previously tried to dissuade these people from their plan to cut down the trees, even pleading with them.

The result, of course, needs no further explanation.

However, the Construction Division officials explained the situation to them, namely, that this place would soon become the Air Force Headquarters.

If the Shandians insist on stopping or resisting.

Not only would all the benefits they had previously received be revoked, but their entire race would also be branded criminals and sent to the East Blue to build a bridge, charged with disobeying the World Government!

What kind of treatment?

First, the World Government allows the Shandians to continue living in Kumogakure and prohibits others from trespassing without permission, and will also preserve a ring of forest around their village.

Second, the World Government allows Shandians warriors to join the Air Force Headquarters or the Logistics Department and have formal jobs.

Third, the World Government allows the children of the Shandians to receive a normal cultural education in the schools at the Air Force Headquarters.

To put it bluntly, they are willing to accept them as members of the World Government!

What the Shandians have to 'give up' is this island that originally belonged to them, even though it's no use for them to give it up.

But this is enough to demonstrate the benevolence of the World Government.

Therefore, the Construction Division official was now looking at them with great impatience, feeling that these Shandians were somewhat ungrateful.

"You have several hundred people. If you have several hundred more people working together, efficiency will definitely improve!"

"Or are you planning to just freeload and not work?"

"Stop talking nonsense and get to work!"
