The Whitebeard Pirates, the Big Mom Pirates, and underground forces soon headed to the Elbaf Kingdom.

The New World had now become calm and peaceful.

With a huge gap opened in the Red Line, the Grand Line and the four seas are no longer separated.

The location where Mary Geoise was originally became Mount Dawn. Many people suggested naming this mountain " Mount Noah," but Noah refused.

The ring of sea surrounding Mount Dawn and the four new landmasses have also been given a special name.

The ring-shaped sea area was named: Dawn Sea;

The new landmass in the Calm Belt of the East Blue was named Morning Sun Island;

The new landmass in the Calm Belt of the South Blue was named: Rising Sun Island;

The new landmass in the Calm Belt of the West Blue was named: Evening Sun Island;

The new landmass in the Calm Belt of the North Blue was named Setting Sun Island.

The dramatic changes in the terrain have caused the climate of the Grand Line to begin to change, but this change was not unexpected by the Kingdom of Dawn.

Noah personally oversaw operations at Mount Dawn, with Robin, Kuro, Lilith, and others assisting him in handling various affairs of the Kingdom of Dawn.

More than three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

Mount Dawn is very high, reaching 15,000 meters. After being reinforced by the Vic plate, the underground rock strata in this sea area are very strong, and there is virtually no chance of major earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or rock slips.

Shiki moved the Sky Dome Island, which had been placed in the North Blue, to the side of Dawn Island, and then Vic integrated the island into Mount Dawn.

The main reason for moving Sky Dome Island here was for convenience; Noah didn't want to build a new capital.

The infrastructure on Sky Dome Island was already quite advanced during the Sky Empire era; it was just relatively small, only about 183 square kilometers.

However, that doesn't matter. If the area is not enough, we can make use of Mount Dawn, which has an area of nearly 8,600 square kilometers.

If that's not enough, they can also cut a section of rock from the surrounding Red Line to reclaim land from the sea.

Therefore, for the Kingdom of Dawn, the land court is actually easier to solve than the climate problem.

On the western coast of Mount Dawn lies the newly integrated Sky Dome Peninsula, and this city, which serves as the administrative capital, has been named Sky Dome City.

As the Kingdom of Dawn was about to unify the world, the population of Sky Dome City was also increasing rapidly. In less than three months, the population had increased from 170,000 to 810,000.

However, Noah didn't have a good impression of mega-cities, so he instructed Kuro to limit the population growth of Sky Dome City while developing several satellite cities to alleviate the population pressure on Sky Dome City.

While Noah was busy cleaning up the mess left by the World Government.

Champagne, who had just taken over all the work at the Distillery, knocked on the door and came in.

"Your Majesty, the Telephone Broadcasting Monitoring Bureau just reported that Vegapunk sent us a letter. Here is the content of the letter!"

Noah took the letter and read it for a while.

A moment later, he smiled and shook his head, "He's lucky. We agreed to his surrender. Oh, and take care of Stussy in Pleasure District, then tell Vegapunk about it."

"I understand." Champagne nodded.

His purpose in doing so was very simple: Vegapunk chose to surrender without telling Stussy of the Kingdom of Dawn that he was his spy.

Meanwhile, Stussy was secretly fleeing to the Elbaf Kingdom.

The so-called "not absolute loyalty" means absolutely not loyal.

Vegapunk thought he was clever enough to keep it a secret.

But Noah was fully aware of his relationship with Stussy.

Two weeks later.

The edge of the Arctic ice cap on the North Red Line.

Inside a hidden underground base.

Vegapunk and his six clones watched as the remaining World Government agents at the base were annihilated. Even York who had secretly defected to the World Government, seemed indifferent to the deaths of these CP Agent.

In the world of the underworld, the victors are kings and the losers are villains. Since the World Government World Government, Vegapunk naturally didn't want to be wiped out along with it.

As for Vegapunk's previous underhanded schemes behind the backs of the Saint Saturn, they have now become meaningless.

Champagne wiped the blood from her short sword and said with a smile, "Doctor, I am Champagne, welcome to the Kingdom of Dawn."

"Hello, Ms. Champagne." Vegapunk smiled and nodded.

"What should we be aware of when taking over this base?" Champagne asked with a smile.

Vegapunk himself pointed to one of the clones and said, "Let Lilith show you!"

" Lilith? Then please take care of me." Champagne looked at her.

Lilith, in her clone, looked at the woman before her with some curiosity. She sensed a great deal of danger emanating from her, but she knew she had to cooperate for now. "I am Lilith. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me."

Suddenly, Champagne turned to Vegapunk: "Doctor, we've just wiped out an underground force that was trying to escape to Elbaf."

"What?" Vegapunk remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he tensed up.

Champagne continued, "That underground organization is called Pleasure District, and its leader is Stussy, Devil Fruit User."

Vegapunk's pupils contracted, and his body trembled slightly.

"The Führer knows everything, including all the little tricks you pulled right under Saturn's nose. This is just a reminder not to think you've covered your tracks perfectly." Champagne finished speaking and patted Lilith on the shoulder.

"Come on! Show me around this base!"

Lilith, as if waking from a dream, left the hall with Champagne.

Vegapunk's face was extremely pale, and his back was soaked with cold sweat.

Seeing Champagne leave, York squatted down and said sarcastically, "Heh, original body, you're really something, managing to do so many things behind our backs."

"Alright, York, say no more," Shaka quickly advised.

Vegapunk sighed, "I was too clever for my own good. I didn't expect the Kingdom of Dawn to know about Stussy's existence. I've ruined her."

"You're overthinking it," Pythagoras shook his head. "Given the Kingdom of Dawn's ways, even if you tell them about Stussy, she won't escape death."

Upon hearing this, Vegapunk also regained his senses.

Indeed, Stussy's identity destined her to a tragic end.

Vegapunk's identity as a spy is actually the one with the fewest problems.

What truly sealed Stussy's fate was her identity as a CP0 member and the leader of the Pleasure District. Whether she did these things willingly or under duress, she was destined to bear too many sins.

Being a CP0 member means that she has done a lot of dirty work for the Celestial Dragons and the World Government; that's an indisputable fact.

The leaders of Pleasure District, being underground forces involved in the flesh trade, were inevitably involved in the slave trade and forced transactions.

Noah wasn't so magnanimous as to pardon a notorious brothel madam for Vegapunk's sake.

He didn't really care about Vegapunk; the guy was only so powerful because he used his Devil Fruit ability.

If Vegapunk hadn't chosen to surrender, the Kingdom of Dawn would have begun full-scale development of the Red Line after some time, and this secret research base would have been exposed as well.

Noah won't show Vegapunk any mercy then.

Even now, Vegapunk and his six clones are not trustworthy in Noah's eyes.

The core scientific research projects of the Kingdom of Dawn will not be open to Vegapunk; his future role will be to research some civilian technologies.
