Peace Descends at the Will of the Strong

His gentle, sun-like gaze swept over the bewildered crowd, yet the indifference deep within his pupils seemed to reveal his true attitude.

"Consider? What do we need to consider?!"

"Accept or reject..."

As they talked, the flag behind them fluttered in the wind, and many residents, looking at the flag with its extraordinary significance, immediately guessed what it meant.

"From today onwards, the Golden City of Gaya officially becomes His Majesty's territory. Fighting is prohibited on the Sky Island and other islands. Only areas more than ten kilometers away from any island are considered free waters."

"No one may touch the gold in the Golden City without His Majesty's permission, including the Navy and the World Government."

With a flick of the finger, a dark, shadowy circle enveloped several sky islands, and a pair of red-glowing eyes flickered, staring at the being ready to break the rules at any moment.

This statement shocked the residents of Jaya Island.

"Good heavens! Not only does lightning strike from the sky, but pies also fall from the heavens! We're protected by the Four Emperors now!"

"What utmost mercy! Who fabricated the rumor that Uchiha Huayue slaughters a country every year? I strongly condemn this irresponsible rumor!"

"Gods, this must be a dream. We have the protection of the Four Emperors. We can live safely for the rest of our lives..."

Meanwhile, thanks to Montblanc Coolidge's careful explanation, the Skypiean and Shandian, who finally understood the status of the Four Emperors on the high seas, were completely relieved.

I thought this would be a battle like the one I faced four hundred years ago, where I would have to step on the corpses of my comrades to defend my homeland and my promise.

Now, I finally don't have to worry about bloodshed and fighting anymore, that's wonderful...

"Hey, are we really going to hand our lives over to that guy like this? I don't trust him!"

In the Shandian tribe, Wyper, hailed as a great warrior, was furious and punched a tree.

"What if we pull the sky island down from the sky on a whim? What if one day we all get the whim to kill us all?"

"There's no need to worry about that. To His Majesty, you are nothing more than dust that he can crush at will. People don't interact with dust..."

"To be precise, apart from the Poneglyph that interest His Majesty, everything else in this Golden City is utterly worthless."

With her usual gentle smile on her face, Hiyori a smile, which also caught the attention of the Shandian to the blue Poneglyph that was being transported to the ship.

"What are you doing to the relics left by our ancestors? Stop!"

"There is always a loss in gain. Please do not disturb His Majesty's love for history. Wouldn't it be better for you to return to your homeland and clear up the misunderstanding? Why make trouble for yourselves?"

Enraged, Wyper raised the Burn Bazooka to pull the trigger, but was stopped by a withered, old arm that resembled a chicken claw.

"Stop, Wyper! That's just an insignificant stone. Compared to the light of Shandora, what does it matter?"

"The war is over, the promise left by our ancestors has been fulfilled. Let's not drag others into this pointless struggle. We have been fighting for nearly four hundred years. Let peace come. It's not such a bad thing."

"Chief!"

"That's true. The long battle is really tedious for me, especially when Enel arrived. I even wondered if Skypiea would end up like Birka."

Familiar voices came from behind the two, and many Shandian turned around to see the familiar old figure and the wounded God's Guard.

"Since a powerful being has established the rules, this is indeed a good thing for us. Would you like to come to my house for a glass of pumpkin juice? I grew it myself..."

"God! What do you mean?"

In an instant, Wyper became extremely tense. This being, who had fought against them, the Mountain People, for decades without being able to get them to fulfill their promises, was someone he could not afford to relax about.

"Please don't use that title. Compared to the powerful beings below, how can I, a frail old man, be considered a god?"

"You heard what I just said. The lord who stopped Enel will not attack us, and fighting is not allowed on other islands, including Skypiea."

"The four-hundred-year-long struggle between Shandia and the Sky Islands came to an end with the tolling of the bells, and peace descended in an unexpected way..."

Gan Fall stroked his beard and laughed heartily. Montblanc Coolidge had already walked up to the statue of his ancestor, his eyes brimming with tears.

"Fate, I've won!!!"

Unnoticed by anyone, a ship that should have been impossible to ignore set sail and headed into the boundless sea.

On the deck, her slender hands brushed over the ancient characters, carefully deciphering them, a hint of surprise flashing in her light blue eyes.

"King of the Sea, Commander of the Ocean, Princess who rules over all Sea King..."

"Considering that Apology Letter, it seems that hundreds of years ago, one of the three Ancient Weapon was not an inanimate object, but a real life— the Mermaid Princess?"

"Uranus, Poseidon, Dark King... Dark King is a giant warship, Poseidon is a real life form, so what is this so-called Uranus? Could it really be something that exists in the heavens?"

"Who knows? It's probably someone whose location will never be guessed, after all, he's a ' Uranus '..."

A smile quietly appeared on her lips as she gazed at the azure sky.

"Hey? Big brother is so cunning! You must have seen the Uranus, right? Just tell me what the Uranus is, okay?!"

"Yes, yes, you will see it one day."

Huayue gave a perfunctory answer, her cheeks puffing up in anger. Hiyori's expression made him laugh.

"Seriously, you're making fun of them again!"

On the sun loungers nearby, under the life-giving energy fluctuations of Medical Ninjutsu, Kuina was gradually regaining her former complexion, bit her lower lip, stood up, and walked into the cabin.

"Hey, young lady, your injury hasn't healed yet, why are you in such a hurry?"

"I cannot accept such a close gap in cultivation. Just one step, just one step and I can overcome it. The female swordsman who can become the World's Strongest Swordsman will definitely be me!"

For a moment, Tsunade helplessly, looking at the cloud sofa not far away, full of complaints.

"What's wrong with young people these days? They won't even listen to doctors. I'm not going to care anymore..."

He picked up the bottle, turned and left, taking a vicious gulp, Yamato, who was calmly concentrating beside him, shook his head helplessly.

"You guys who only know how to cultivate, don't you know what relaxation is?"

"I understand, I can move, just like being needed before, and then being ruthlessly abandoned, that feeling of losing my dreams..."

Baby5 covered her face and cried bitterly, which made Yamato's mouth twitch.

"Although this metaphor is strange, it somehow feels quite apt!"
