"Whew—"

Strong currents of air swept towards them, making it a little difficult to open their eyes.

Five colossal islands, almost stacked on top of each other, were flying rapidly through the high sky.

"Is this the White-White Sea above Skypiea?"

Looking down, they saw a vast, white "sea" constantly passing by, like clouds. Reiju's eyes showed a hint of surprise.

She was wearing a white dress and shorts, and her blood-red long cloak was fluttering in the wind.

"Are you more comfortable now?" With a gaze that held a hint of concern, Ichiji, standing at the bow, asked casually.

Having just entered this place, it wasn't just Reiju; even Vinsmoke Jajji was a little uncomfortable. And now, the entire Germa army, at least ninety-nine percent of them, would need some time to adapt to the climate here and wouldn't be able to unleash their full combat strength.

"It's not a big deal anymore..."

Smiling slightly, Reiju nodded, her eyes showing a hint of surprise: "It's truly hard to imagine that at an altitude of ten thousand meters, there's still such a strange sea area*!"

"This sea area, from today onwards, belongs to our Germa!"

Ichiji laughed and opened his hands, full of spirit and radiating strong confidence. He didn't hide his ambition in the slightest:

"In the next few years, even if it's impossible to directly confront the behemoth that is the World Government, at least Germa already has the power to protect itself!"

"They might know about the existence of Skypiea, but because Skypiea lacks necessary resources and wealth, the World Government has never paid much attention to it, or rather, they simply have no ability to reach it... Limited by current technology, they simply cannot develop a large-scale airborne transport tool in a short time..."

"Even if they finally pay attention here in the future and want to target Skypiea, our Germa has already completely conquered this brand new sea area and will absolutely not give them any opportunity to interfere!"

He did not plan to establish the base or headquarters of the Germa Kingdom near Angel Island or Kami's Island**.

Instead, they would establish it far away from there, in a safer, more hidden location, to avoid premature exposure.

Because there was a special "path" there, if their luck was good enough, they could completely pass through the Upward Current and reach Skypiea directly. Although few pirates, adventurers, or Marines come up, they couldn't completely rule out this possibility.

"What are you planning to do next?"

Reiju stroked her hair and asked with a smile.

Regardless of whether Vinsmoke Jajji was willing or not, the current Germa was already indirectly controlled by Ichiji. From now on, the true ruler of Germa could only be his little brother, Vinsmoke Ichiji.

The people Ichiji had subjugated during this time included Trafalgar Law, Buggy, "Tyrant" Bartholomew*, Sengoku, Dalton, Wapol, and others. Perhaps due to Ichiji's reasons, they would give him some face, not daring to be overly reckless, but wanting to command them was impossible!

However, looking at the attitude of his father, the King, at the moment, he clearly didn't care about these things. Perhaps he already had the intention of handing over the great authority of Germa.

"The five islands are just the beginning..."

In the time to come, Ichiji plans to fully utilize the ability of his Float-Float Fruit, and continuously send more islands from the Calm Belt and across the world into the Sky Islands, truly forming a vast aerial kingdom.

Of course, that will be a long-term project!

"Those residents of the Sky Islands, won't they refuse to be ruled?"

Ichiji smiled slightly, having a plan in mind. He said: "Let them contribute to building the Germa Kingdom, and grant these original residents permission to relocate upwards in the future. I believe these Sky Island residents will definitely be very willing."

Furthermore, located in the Calm Belt, completely isolated from the outside world, there are also quite a few primitive tribes and countries that haven't been infiltrated by the World Government. He can go and conquer them!

"Indeed..."

Izabel, following behind Ichiji, couldn't help but smile slightly.

She already understood those Sky Island residents. Their thirst and pursuit of land would surely make them strongly respond to this.

There are also the Fish-Man race. This race are natural-born warriors. The power of ordinary Fish-Men is ten times that of ordinary humans. If tens of thousands of Fish-Men could be recruited for rigorous training, perhaps in a short time they wouldn't be able to display great combat power, but after three, five years, they will definitely become a true elite force!

As for the specific plan, Ichiji already had a plan, and once this matter was settled, he would officially begin preparations!

North Blue, as the old base of Germa, has been regarded by Germa as a precious asset. Having operated there for so many years, it is naturally impossible to just abandon it directly like this!

However, he needs to wait until this period of time has passed before he can begin the deployment in North Blue.

"We can stop now. Just here!"

Looking around at the vast white expanse, with white waves rising and falling, Ichiji directly pointed to this area.

Over the past few days, Shiki's hands have recovered, and he is currently trying to master Armament Haki.

Possessing the flesh of a Golden Lion*, he only needs to master the method of using Armament Haki to easily condense high-intensity Armament Haki, but currently, he cannot use it freely.

Even so, coupled with his terrifying talent for swordsmanship, he can still unleash quite astonishing attacks. Every day, he is constantly "recovering his strength."

This is also why this guy is somewhat unpolished and wild. Ichiji thought repeatedly and still chose him as his reason.

"Combine the three resource islands, and the island used for building the headquarters, keep it separate on one side..." Ichiji gestured towards Shiki and directly instructed: "Don't be in a hurry to put down the Savage Island. I need to use it as a training ground for forging strong individuals. Keep it within my range."

"Understood!"

Because he was training Haki, sweat poured from Shiki's head, and he directly opened his hands.

"Whew—"

The five islands, which were originally almost stacked together, forming five layers of islands, were all lined up one by one, while Germa's War Machine was still floating at the very top.

"Rumble!!!"

Under the manipulation of the Float-Float Fruit's ability, the three giant resource islands were combined into one and slowly descended onto the vast White-White Sea first...
