The two sides have been working hard.

Letting Gwent join the Darrow Pirates was not a decision made by Darrow on impulse, but a decision made after careful consideration.

Putting aside the weather knowledge and navigation skills that she had learned from Visalia for many years, her prestige in Sky Island was enough for Darrow to extend an olive branch to her.

Before, Darrow did not intend to mark Sky Island as his own territory, because the three forces on Sky Island were too complicated, so it was difficult for Darrow and his team to guarantee that nothing would happen to Sky Island after they conquered this territory.

Darrow was not interested in a territory that needed to be carefully supervised and maintained, but if it was a kingdom with rich resources and high autonomy, it would be quite important.

And Darrow has a deeper plan. After unifying Sky Island, he plans to open up the trade route between Sky Island and Qinghai, and then directly join the World Government. In this way, Sky Island can not only obtain the protection of the Navy, but Darrow can also get a ticket to the King's Conference.

Even if it works well, it can be used as a handle to exert influence on the World Government.

But all of this must be based on trust. Don't let Darrow work hard for so long, but end up making wedding clothes for others. The stable relationship in the pirate world should be companions.

"How about it? Are you interested in joining us?"

Darrow looked at Gwent in front of him with a half-smile. He was very sure that Gwent would agree to his request, but Darrow hoped that the other party would join sincerely.

"Join you?" Gwent raised her eyebrows, showing some surprise. She thought that the other party would refuse the proposal to help her unify Sky Island, but she didn't expect Darrow to invite her directly.

"Being a pirate seems to be pretty good!"

Gwent seemed quite interested, but if she was really obsessed with the position of the Lord of Sky Island, why would she stay in Visalia for so long?

"Then it's settled, welcome to join us!" Darrow said with a smile, and stretched out his right hand.

With a snap.

The two hands clenched tightly, and both of them tacitly agreed not to talk about the deal. After all, they were all companions who trusted their lives, and helping Gwent unify Sky Island became the group's responsibility.

"Then please bear with me in the future, Mr. Captain!"

………

After confirming that Gwent had joined, Darrow and his team celebrated briefly, and then brought everyone to the hinterland of the Shandora ruins, and brought the giant snake named "Nolan" with them.

"I say, you have discussed for so long, but you still haven't figured out how to take the gold out of the snake's stomach?" Darrow said speechlessly, looking at the people in front of him who didn't seem very smart.

"Then what do you say?" Elsa seemed a little unconvinced.

Facing Elsa's suspicion, Darrow didn't say anything. He took out a seawater grenade from his pocket and punched the giant python's waist and abdomen again.

"Roar!" Nolan, who was hit hard in his weak part, wailed in pain. Darrow looked at the bloody mouth in front of him and threw the seawater grenade directly into Nolan's mouth.

Nolan, who was hit inexplicably, would naturally not give up. He slapped the ground with his snake tail and rushed towards Darrow quickly with this force, not knowing what terrible thing he had just swallowed.

With a snap, Darrow snapped his fingers, and the next moment, a huge amount of seawater burst out from the python's abdomen, directly inflating Nolan like a balloon.

A strong sense of discomfort came from his waist and abdomen, and Nolan felt his stomach churning. After holding it in for a while, Nolan, who could no longer hold on, vomited with a "wow".

"Gold, there is really gold!" Aisha looked at the yellow light flashing in the vomit, ran over immediately, picked up a half-person-high golden teapot, and danced with joy.

"Look at your little achievement!" Darrow looked at Aisha's appearance and complained, and at the same time, he grabbed the air with his right hand, urged the compressed airflow to absorb the gold.

"Whether you can fully realize the potential of the devil fruit depends on your imagination, don't limit your thinking too much." Darrow said angrily.

The abilities of fruits in the world of pirates can be said to be varied, but there are only a few who can truly develop the abilities of fruits well. The only one that Darrow takes a fancy to is Doflamingo, who developed a nearly regular move that even the admirals cannot break - [Birdcage].

But unfortunately, the String-String Fruit itself is too useless, and no matter how well it is developed, its strength is limited.

Except for this person, the fruit abilities of others are not well developed. Even Luffy, who originally played the rubber fruit very well, seems so mediocre after the fruit revision.

"..."

Faced with Daro's preaching, several crew members who ate the devil fruit were a little disappointed, especially Rector. After all, the method that Daro showed just now to fill the giant python with water can also be done with his Wine-Wine Fruit.

This topic did not last too long. After properly placing the gold, Daro asked other crew members to start preparing for returning to Bica tonight.

And he brought Gwent and the leader of the Shandians, Siklos, to the ruins of Shandora.

As the main body of the historical text and the golden bell that carries the beliefs of the Shandians and Sky Islanders, Daro naturally will not take it away, but the gold in the ruins of Shandora is not intended to be let go.

Although most of the gold of Shandora was washed into the sea by the rising current four hundred years ago, a large part of the gold buildings still remain in the city center.

After the arrival of the future Enel, he looted the Golden Town and melted all the gold into materials for the construction of the Ark. Based on the volume of the Ark, Darrow estimated that this should be more than 10 billion Baileys of gold.

Following a towering vine and passing through a narrow alley, Darrow and his team came to a ruin.

Although it is a ruin, the scale of the building is obviously taller, and there are many reliefs with unknown characters. It is unknown whether they are ancient characters or the characters of Shandora 400 years ago.

In front of us, a pyramid building fell crookedly on the ground, which was very conspicuous. Next to this building, there are also various items made of gold, such as pillars, ritual vessels, or components made of gold on a certain building.

In short, everything you can see is golden.

"So much gold." Gwent was stunned by the scene in front of him. He covered his mouth and said.

And Siklos on the side was even more excited. When he saw the ancestral land, he put down the scepter in his hand, prostrated himself and worshiped, chanting something in his mouth, as if praying for Shandora's needs.

After Siklos finished praying and stood up, Daro said to the two of them: "Gwent, I need the Shandians to help me mine this gold. It will be very useful to me."

Since Sky Island is to be designated as his own territory, Daro will naturally not take the gold this time.

First, Daro plans to use this money to pay Sky Island for the sky gold, so that Sky Island will get a legitimate seat in the world government, on the one hand, it will get the protection of the navy, and on the other hand, it will get the right to trade with other countries.

Secondly, the passage between Sky Island and Qinghai must be opened, and now is the best time - after the massacre of the Celestial Dragons, the entire island has become a no-man's land. Sky Island can buy Jaya Island and build it into Sky Island's base in Qinghai.

The remaining money will be used to resettle these Shandians and build a new home for them. Daro plans to use Jaya Island in Qinghai and the Shandora ruins to resettle these Shandians, which can be regarded as returning to their roots.

After explaining these ideas to the two, Siklos jumped up excitedly and almost kowtowed to Daro on the spot. After being stopped by Daro, he patted his chest and said that he would definitely mine all the gold and would never neglect it.

This is the attitude we want, but Daro is not worried that these Shandians will embezzle the money. After all, the money will eventually be used to build their homes.

As for the Sky Island people... hehe.

No matter how the Sky Islanders whitewashed it, they could not cover up the fact that they were robbers. Gaia Island was obviously the home of the Shandia people, but these shameless Sky Islanders made up a myth and snatched this land away, and even called it: God's gift.

On the other side, looking at Siklos who was grateful to Daro with all his heart, Gwent showed a surprised expression, and then joked to Daro:

"I didn't expect that you are so good at controlling people. Why don't you stay and let you be the ruler of Sky Island!"

Faced with Gwent's joke, Daro smiled and said, "I have no interest in being a wise king."

………

After explaining everything, Daro and Gwent returned to the Mermaid Anthem. At this time, Rector and the others had already made preparations, and they could return to Bica as long as Daro gave an order.

"Daro, there is a problem." Sophia frowned and came out of the cabin

He came out, holding a huge Sky Island Shell in his hand: "The wind-spraying shells that Bika installed for us before are all dead."

The characteristics of the White Sea are quite strange. It has the same buoyancy as the Qinghai Sea, but after all, it is not composed of seawater, so it does not have ocean currents. Therefore, without the wind-spraying shells as power, the ship and Weiba can only float on the White Sea, but cannot sail.

"It is so!" Darrow was not panicked. After all, with Iht's mentality, it would be strange not to do anything.

On the boat, Gwent and Haredas took out several hemp ropes with strange knots from their pockets, handed them to Darrow and said, "Use this!"

Looking at the strange road in front of him, Darrow laughed. He naturally recognized that this was the specialty of Visalia, the weather island, the Wind Knot, which can generate huge gusts of wind.

"Haha, you should keep it for self-defense."

Daro, who possessed the compression fruit, didn't need this. He just grabbed the air with both hands, and the strong compressed air immediately filled the sails, pushing the Mermaid Anthem slowly to the dock.

"Guys, let's fight back to Bica and see what the prophet is up to!"
