One Piece: The Living Devil

"Roger was once called the Pirate King," Rosse said with a smile.

"Pirate King... Eh, once?", From this name, Conia could imagine Roger's strength.

But hearing Rosse say "once", she still couldn't help the curiosity in her heart, "Then what about him now?"

"Dead, died in a public execution by the World Government," Rosse looked toward Conia, raising his eyebrows meaningfully, which made Conia shrink her neck in fear.

"The World Government, that's the force of yours, right?", Conia said.

"Now it's our force," The corners of Rosse's mouth slightly lifted, teasing such a naive girl was indeed a rather interesting thing.

Compared to those people on the great sea, Conia was much more simple.

"Ah, yes yes yes, ours!", Conia quickly corrected herself, and cautiously glanced at Rosse with the corner of her eye, seeing that the other party didn't seem angry, she finally slowly relaxed.

Whenever chatting with Rosse, she always felt a great pressure.

Even though earlier she stood up, in her heart she had already prepared to die.

But who would've thought, nothing happened to her at all, instead Pagaya died.

But also because of that matter with Pagaya, it made her even more aware of how terrifying Rosse was.

After a while, Sora walked to Rosse's side with elegant and calm steps, with a faint smile on her face.

"Handled?", Rosse slightly turned his head, glanced at Sora, and casually asked.

With Sora now, he truly became much more relaxed.

Unfortunately, when they returned to the Holy Land, Sora would be devoted to technological development.

So, he still needed to train a personal secretary.

Actually, for the secretary candidate, he still had quite a few.

Among his forces, Robin was the most suitable one.

But unfortunately, Rosse didn't trust Robin.

The secretary beside him would come into contact with many of his core secrets, those secrets he didn't want Robin to know.

Robin's greatest value, was as the only remaining historian, to help him spread false history to the outside world.

Before leaving the Holy Land last time, Rosse had already discussed with Saturn about starting the era of gods.

It's just that now his first-mover advantage wasn't enough, at least had to wait for a few special zones to be established, then it would be the best time to spread externally.

If the foundation wasn't deep enough, just the trouble inside the Celestial Dragons would require him to spend a lot of effort to handle.

"Gan Fall cooperated very well, from now on, this place is the Skypiea Special Zone," Sora lightly nodded and began to report to Rosse the result, "Later he'll return to Angel Island to announce that Skypiea accepts the rule of the World Government. You will become the god of Skypiea, while he will serve as the divine envoy and concurrently the governor of the special zone."

Since Rosse was willing to use gentle means, Gan Fall naturally wouldn't refuse.

However, this way, the process would definitely be relatively slow.

Skypiea was a theocracy, the strongest one acted as the god above all, and the divine envoy was responsible for actual management.

Once Rosse became the god of Skypiea, and after some time when he gained people's hearts, the resistance emotion of the Skypieans would also disappear.

As for whether Rosse was an outsider, that actually didn't matter.

After seeing Rosse's means, Gan Fall would help to guide the Skypieans in thought, and those Skypieans would begin to self-reflect.

"Not bad," Rosse lightly nodded, he wasn't afraid Skypiea would resist.

Not to mention after seeing his strength, Gan Fall dared not have any thoughts.

Just the elites he left behind weren't something Skypieans could handle.

Gan Fall was stronger than all the elites, but those elites mostly had D-level strength, Gan Fall couldn't instantly kill them all.

As long as information reached him, Gan Fall knew what would happen.

Gan Fall was a smart person, he wouldn't do stupid things.

Glancing at the obedient Conia, Rosse then said, "Later tell Gan Fall, let her also become a divine envoy, as Gan Fall's deputy to assist in managing Skypiea."

Violent conquest was always just the beginning.

Skypiea's heritage was nearly a thousand years; if he wanted Skypieans to willingly work for him, he had to give them some hope.

And Conia, was his explanation to the rest of Skypiea, just like in Arabasta.

As long as there was no resistance, Skypieans would still be managed by their own people.

"Ah? I can't do it," Conia hesitated for a moment, then quickly waved her hands, with some resistance on her face.

If it was before, being able to become a divine envoy, she would only be happy.

But just thinking about the attitude of the others in the plaza, Conia felt somewhat chilled.

She stood up for everyone in Skypiea, but no one was willing to support her.

So instinctively, she wanted to refuse.

"Lord Rosse, you just saved my life, I want to follow you," Conia had a sudden idea and found an excuse, which was also her real thought.

Rather than staying on Skypiea, it was better to go with Rosse to the Blue Sea.

Because of Sora's previous description, she was very curious about the Blue Sea.

"You're not representing Skypiea, but my will," With a smile on his lips, Rosse reached out and stroked Conia's golden hair, his voice gentle as he said, "Since I saved your life, then help me manage Skypiea well, this is the repayment."

"Ah?", Conia's little face fell.

She never thought that she'd end up lifting a rock only to smash her own foot.

Rosse had said so, how could she still dare refuse?

"I'll try, but I don't know if I can manage well," Conia hesitated and said.

"You definitely can. Forget it, I'll say it myself," Rosse smiled slightly, and gently encouraged Sora with his tone.

Then, he casually waved his hand toward Gan Fall in the distance, signaling him to come over.

"Lord Rosse, what are your orders," Gan Fall dared not be negligent at all, and quickly walked to Rosse, bowing respectfully with a humble tone.

After hearing Sora's explanation of Rosse's identity, Gan Fall didn't dare have any ulterior thoughts anymore.

Rosse wasn't a fake god like him. Not to mention Rosse's god-like strength, he also had an immense background. He was a descendant of gods from the Blue Sea.

This was the true orthodoxy of gods.

"Conia will become your deputy, helping you handle the daily affairs of Skypiea. At the same time, she'll also become a divine envoy. If you want to contact me for anything, she will be the only way," Rosse pointed at Conia who was standing beside, and calmly instructed Gan Fall.

"Understood! I will follow your will," Gan Fall's expression was solemn, and he nodded seriously.

Lifting his head, he looked at Conia with a complicated expression in his eyes, revealing an indescribable complex emotion.

He could roughly guess Rosse's thinking.

This was training Conia to be his successor, and also the one to manage Skypiea in the future.

Though he didn't know what Conia had given Rosse, the fact that Rosse was willing to let Skypieans manage themselves was a good thing to him.

After all, no matter what, Conia was a kind person and born in Skypiea, so she wouldn't abuse her fellow countrymen.

The only heavy feeling he had was that Conia might not completely stand with Skypieans.

Conia bringing Rosse and the others here had already shown her stance.
