Wano Country.
The Kozuki Clan and the Kurozumi Clan were gone.
When the war ended, Kozuki Sukiyaki was finally about to breathe his last from his severe injuries.
Having seen Shane arrive, seen him save everyone and even display the qualities of Nika, he entrusted everything to him.
As a result.
Over the past few days, work had begun on establishing a new fleet.
Wano Country opened its ports, and Tyrant Express Delivery got to work, transporting vast quantities of seastone for building new warships.
In an instant, the people saw a whole new world.
Business boomed for all kinds of swordsmiths, and orders for blades made here surged.
After successive battles brought on by Golden Lion's war and the Kurozumi Clan's unbridled actions.
Nine-tenths of the Kozuki Clan's original forces had already been lost, and the remaining tenth submitted to Shane.
With that, he also took in many fighters from the Golden Lion Flying Pirate Crew, increasing both his military strength and his influence.
For Shane, there was still one good thing that had yet to be activated.
It was the Ancient Weapon Pluton, hidden in Wano Country.
Tom possessed blueprints passed down through generations that could keep Pluton in check if it went out of control, while Alabasta held Pluton's true location.
"This battle will begin one day."
Shane was certain of it. It was still quite difficult for ships to sail in here, but fortunately, there was new technology.
On top of that, new alloy materials for shipbuilding and weapons provided sufficient protection.
"This ship is our Seagull Laboratory's latest experimental product. Combined with the original Black Pearl, it incorporates alloy materials and seastone, allowing it to withstand stronger attacks, deliver greater firepower, sail faster, and travel through the Calm Belt without being attacked by Sea Kings."
