A giant, strange bird flew in from the distance, carrying a lean knight clad in silver armor who looked far from weak.

"Blue Sea dwellers! You are pirates, aren't you? To dare invade the God's Kingdom—I advise you to leave at once, or my God's Army will surround and annihilate you!"

Gan Fumo shouted a warning to Brook and his crew from the air, the Flame Dial Heat Gun in his hand beginning to glow red as it radiated intense waves of heat.

"Let's have a fight first; once we've fought, we'll know what to do next!"

Brook smiled at the god of the God's Kingdom, the cold aura emanating from his body growing increasingly sinister.

Hell Underworld Qi: Death Deterrence

The aura of death instantly blanketed every Sky Islander present. Sky Island had no concept of a cold winter, so they felt only a bone-chilling cold deep within their souls, accompanied by a suffocating, oppressive fear that made it impossible to breathe. Those with weaker constitutions were already frightened into unconsciousness.

Even the giant bird Gan Fumo was riding forgot to flap its wings out of sheer terror, plummeting toward the ground with its master.

"What is this?"

Gan Fumo stared at Brook in horror, wondering why his Mantra could not perceive this terrifying man radiating the scent of death.

Brook walked forward slowly, and Gan Fumo, struggling to suppress his fear, thrust his Flame Dial Heat Gun toward Brook.

Underworld Ghost Qi: Weapon Breaker

Gan Fumo's Flame Dial Heat Gun was instantly sliced into two pieces. He widened his eyes, completely unable to track Brook's movements; even his Mantra was useless. What on earth was happening? He swallowed hard.

What kind of devil was this man?!

"Captain Brook, this so-called god is nothing but trash; he isn't even worthy of the title of god!"

Redfield glanced at Gan Fumo with disdain. He no longer even considered an enemy of this caliber worth his attention.

"This god, you had better think carefully! Submit to our rule. We did not come here to slaughter; we only wish to develop this place! If you are willing to submit, you will remain the administrator here. At most, we will simply have you drop the title of god, and we will also resolve this issue with the Shandian tribe!"

Brook's deep blue, deathly eyes stared at the god of this God's Kingdom, as if he would die if he did not agree.

"You bad guys, get out of here!!"

A young boy rushed over holding a long-handled knight's lance, showing not a shred of fear.

"Fumo, run! Don't come over here!!"

A figure flashed by. The knight's lance in Gan Fumo's hand was instantly shattered into five or six pieces, leaving him holding only the handle as he charged.

Brook swung the Seven-Star Sword in his hand, and a blast of freezing cold air encased Gan Fumo's feet in ice, rendering him unable to move!

"Fumo!!"

Under Gan Fumo's gaze, Brook walked up to the boy, placed a cold hand over his mouth, and sealed it with ice.

"When adults are talking, children should not interrupt!"

"No, Fumo, don't kill him! I am willing to submit, I am willing to abdicate, please, I beg you, don't hurt him~"

Gan Fumo was so anxious he was on the verge of tears. The Beret Police felt deeply distressed seeing their god in such a state; the powerful god they had always looked up to was actually being bullied like this by outsiders!

Brook gathered his strength and unleashed a massive sword wave with the Seven-Star Sword, leaving a nearly thousand-meter-long gash in Lovely Street that left the Beret Police and the angels watching from their windows frozen in shock.

"Just be obedient, or this sword wave will be cutting into your bodies next time!"

Brook looked at the intimidated Angel Race and nodded with satisfaction!

Led by Gan Fumo, Brook and his group ascended to the palace on the God's Island, "Upper Yard." Looking at the resplendent, golden palace, Shakky touched everything left and right—it was all cast from solid gold!

Brook sat on the main throne while Gan Fumo and several Priests waited below for their fate. This outsider was simply too strong to resist, and even his subordinates were incredibly powerful.

"We won't kill people indiscriminately! Just go about your normal lives. In a day or two, a group of Blue Sea dwellers will arrive; you only need to help them settle down here!"

Brook settled their nerves first, then gave an order to Redfield.

"Find a Priest, take him with you, and go subdue the people of the Shandia Tribe!"

Gan Fumo immediately arranged for four Priests to lead Redfield, and Silvers followed along as well.

"You, arrange for all the God's Soldiers to collect this gold and bring it back!"

Brook pointed at the golden pillars of the palace to instruct Gan Fumo. He immediately ordered the God's Soldiers to gather the gold, while Shakky dragged Antonio along to join in. Worried, Brook also sent the Qilin Lion to follow the two of them.

"Finally, I need to know about a small sky island in the southern lands called Birka. Find me a route to get there!"

Brook had not given up on the Rumble-Rumble Fruit. It had not appeared on the seas for many years, which meant it had likely reincarnated somewhere long ago, only for people to never find it.

The greatest possibility was that it had already reincarnated on the small island of Birka where Enel lived, only to be found by Enel later, allowing him to become the Thunder God, destroy Birka, and come to the Sky Island to become the new god.

"Understood, Lord Brook!" Gan Fumo again arranged for a Priest to investigate news of Birka.

"Also, do you have any way to manufacture flying ships here? Are there any blueprints? Or are there any ancient ruins?"

"It seems not. Upper Yard was also blasted up here over three hundred years ago, and I've never heard of any technology for building flying ships. Angel Island doesn't have it either. Do you think the Waver transportation vehicles would work?"

Hearing Gan Fumo's reply, Brook remembered that the God's Island was part of Jaya Island; how could it possibly have the craftsmanship to build flying ships?!

That meant Enel himself had brought the design blueprints and manufacturing techniques for the Ark Maxim.

It seemed the small island of Birka where Enel lived was no simple place; not only did it have the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, but it also possessed the corresponding shipbuilding technology!

There were also the Thunder Dials, Slash Dials, and other special dials; such creatures did not exist in the vicinity of Angel Island.

"That has nothing to do with you; just keep God's Kingdom running normally! By the way, find me a few copies of every type of Dial!"

Gan Fumo arranged for his subordinates to deliver the Dials, and Crocus and Fish-Man Tom studied these Dials with their various functions with great curiosity.

Meanwhile, Brook climbed along the giant vine all the way to the top, arriving at Shandora, where he saw the massive Golden Bell Tower!

If a Gold-Gold Fruit user were here right now, they would be in heaven!

Brook could not read these ancient scripts, but he understood the general meaning: that the Sea King Poseidon would appear on Fish-Man Island. He just did not know why this information would appear on Jaya Island hundreds of years ago.

Could it be that Jaya Island also played an important role seven or eight hundred years ago? Was it a powerful nation eight hundred years ago as well? Otherwise, it would be hard to explain how they could build the capital city of Shandora out of gold and have it remain unplundered for so long.

It wasn't until over three hundred years ago that it was knocked up to the Sky Island and became a legend!
