"Rumble, rumble!!!"

Accompanied by deafening sounds!

One after another, lush green, densely forested, massive islands fell upon the boundless White-White Sea.

Over a dozen giant islands were pieced together, fixed upon the vast White-White Sea, grand and spectacular, showing no sign of plummeting towards the Blue Sea ten thousand meters below!

Whether it was Conis or Aisa, everyone couldn't help but feel somewhat shocked.

This way, they just needed to start construction on top, and it would truly be a Sky Kingdom comparable to Birka!

"The several resource islands to the east contain rich iron ore, copper ore, tin ore, etc. At that time, we can directly arrange personnel to be responsible for mining..."

Ichiji let out a long breath, looked at Vinsmoke Judge, who had a smile on his face beside him, and said directly, "Currently, the two Calm Belts in the first half of the Grand Line have basically been explored by us 'Zero Zero Seven' (007). The first phase of the goal can be considered complete. Next, the construction of the Jerma Sky Kingdom will be your responsibility, old man!"

Although, relying on the various large and small resources on these islands, the construction of the Jerma Kingdom could be entirely self-sufficient in the short term. However, building from scratch was similarly a no small undertaking, requiring considerable time and manpower to complete.

"Leave it to me with confidence!"

Vinsmoke Judge was full of ambition, smiling as he nodded, "As for those Sky Island natives, I will take your advice and will not excessively oppress them!"

He wasn't someone who understood nothing. Excessive oppression would inevitably breed unnecessary resistance. Even if suppressed by force, it would only treat the symptoms, not the root cause. Having successively pacified the rebellions in some countries around the world over these years, he was all too clear about this.

These people at the bottom don't ask for much.

Currently, Jerma's foundation was just being laid; there was no shortage of that bit of financial power. There was no need to excessively exploit these common people.

"Previously, news came from Doflamingo's side. One-third of the supplies and materials on the order list have been gathered, and he wants me to prepare to go receive them..."

Looking at the cluster of massive islands, somewhat magnificent, Ichiji pondered for a moment: "To avoid attracting excessive attention from the World Government, at least half of Jerma's war potential must remain active in the Blue Sea. Let Ideo and Sai be responsible for leading them."

"I will continue to maintain independent action, completing the subsequent arrangements and plans."

Compared to the construction of the Jerma Kingdom, Ichiji was actually more concerned about when Jerma's human experimentation base could be officially completed!

After all, time waits for no one!

"That's no problem..."

Having witnessed Ichiji's capabilities, Vinsmoke Judge clearly had the intention of handing over Jerma's command to him, while he himself would focus on leading Jerma's team on the Sky Island for research and construction: "But to ensure the progress of the kingdom's construction, and to awe some of the unruly Sky Island residents, we still need to leave half of our forces on the Sky Island!"

Ichiji had once requested Jerma's research team to design a new type of warship that could coordinate with the abilities of the Lion-Lion Fruit, capable of directly carrying out intensive and precise bombing of ground targets, among other advantages, and to form an air force. But this could not be completed in a short period.

"Jerma's army will leave five thousand men. At the same time, conscript from the Sky Island natives. Jerma's current military strength is still too little!"

"'Protecting one's homeland,' I don't think they will refuse this reason, and they will even actively participate..."

...

That very afternoon, Ichiji, leading the majority of Jerma's war assets, along with "Thunder God" Enel, Cavendish, Ideo, Conis, and others, once again descended to the Blue Sea, planning to rendezvous with the Noland crew who had already entered the first half of the Grand Line.

Angel Island, God's Land Skypiea, and even the several sky islands near Angel Island that had already been conquered by Jerma, were all shocked by Jerma's sudden announcement of conscription, construction of a new kingdom, and other news.

Because the posted notice not only recruited a large number of soldiers from the Sky Islands, but it was also said that Sky Island residents willing to go and contribute to the construction would be granted the right to reside in the new Jerma Kingdom. This undoubtedly had a huge appeal to the Sky Island natives who were full of desire for land.

God's Land Skypiea.

Because the former chief of the Shandia tribe led the Shandia tribe to join the Jerma Kingdom, this tribe was allowed to reside in their former homeland. And if the residents of Angel Island were willing, they could also move over directly.

McKinley, the captain of the Sixth Battle Squad, who had been transferred here to garrison, had, after a few days, gotten along quite well with the Shandia tribesmen, who seemed very wary of the outside world but were actually quite simple.

Of course, this was mainly because most of the Shandia warriors had already joined Jerma's army.

The Shandia people were not fools. They naturally wouldn't take the initiative to directly offend this commander who was leading Jerma's army to garrison here, responsible for overseeing this island and Angel Island.

"Wiper, Kamakiri, Braham, and Laki..."

McKinley sized up the several figures standing before him, all dressed in black combat uniforms, looking very spirited and capable, with a hint of satisfaction and appreciation: "You four are the most outstanding warriors of the Shandia tribe."

"Captain, is there some mission?"

Laki, the only woman among the four, with a delicate and beautiful appearance, asked with some confusion.

"I just received news. Lord Ichiji intends to establish a formal military academy. It's said that Jerma's previous elite training bases will be integrated... At the same time, from this Sky Island conscription, personnel with potential and ability will be selected to enter the academy for advanced studies..."

Looking at the four people before him, all showing surprise and some bewilderment, McKinley couldn't help but shake his head and say in a low voice: "Perhaps you don't understand what this military academy truly means, but you can also consider it as Jerma's future officer training academy, specifically for cultivating the backbone of the army..."

"In this academy, there will be specialized personnel to guide you in the knowledge required to be an outstanding officer, such as leading soldiers and commanding operations, as well as teaching you powerful physical techniques. Whether you can seize this rare opportunity will depend on your own efforts..."

Jerma's conscription this time deliberately did not set an age limit.

As long as one's Doriki¹ exceeded a certain level and they showed considerable potential, even if they were not yet ten years old, they would still be qualified to enter the military academy and receive focused training.

This was specifically instructed by Ichiji, to avoid missing out on outstanding talents!

Stepping forward, he patted Wiper's sturdy shoulder, looking directly into the other's somewhat sharp, slightly fierce eyes, and rarely showed a slight smile: "Especially you, Wiper. Your aptitude is actually very good. It would be a pity if it were buried like this!"

McKinley believed in his judgment. This strongest warrior of the Shandia tribe indeed possessed great potential, but he was still unclear how far he could specifically go.
