Just then, Shalria addressed the CP0 agents. "Too many people spoils the fun. Leave!"
"But, my lady…"
"Get lost!"
Shalria produced a whip and lashed out at the CP0 agents.
Even the hardened CP0 agents didn't dare resist Shalria.
She smiled, asserting her dominance.
Turning to Ryuya, she said, "You'll protect me, right, White Dove?"
"Yes, Princess Shalria," Ryuya replied.
Shalria ignored the CP0 agents.
The CP0 agents, though fearful of Shalria, addressed Ryuya seriously.
"Can you guarantee Princess Shalria's safety?"
"If I can't, do you think you could?" Ryuya countered.
The CP0 agents were speechless.
Ryuya, a star Admiral, was a peak combatant, holding his own even against Zero.
The CP0 agents said nothing more, watching as Ryuya and Shalria sailed away.
—
In Mary Geoise, the Gorosei (Five Elders) confronted the CP0 agents, smashing a table in fury.
"What?! Shalria refused to let you aboard?!"
"She trusts White Dove that much?"
"Damn it! What if he uses this to win over the Celestial Dragons?"
"I doubt it."
"He's too proud."
…
The Gorosei concluded that Ryuya wouldn't do such a thing.
They underestimated him.
Ryuya wasn't trying to win Shalria over; he saw her as a crucial pawn.
After leaving Sabaody Archipelago, Ryuya approached Shalria.
"White Dove! What are you doing?!" Shalria demanded.
"Introducing you to a fun place. It has everything you could want. Interested?"
"If it's not interesting, you'll face my wrath!"
Ryuya smiled. "You won't be disappointed."
He used his awakened Devil Fruit ability, subtly altering Shalria's memories, placing her under his control.
The potential harm to her brain wasn't a concern; Celestial Dragons, in his view, were subhuman.
He treated those with some humanity differently.
The flagship sped across the sea.
Ryuya planned to use Shalria to promote the neutral territory.
Four days later, they arrived.
Due to the altered memories, Shalria was immediately captivated by "Paradise."
She contacted her friends. Paradise officially launched, sailing the Grand Line.
Ryuya contacted Morgans for publicity, paying handsomely.
Stussy informed the wealthy elite about Paradise through the Pleasure District.
News of Paradise spread rapidly.
Everyone on Paradise, except Robin and Olvia, removed their hoods, revealing their identities.
This created the impression of a new force, attracting pirates.
Initially, pirates targeted the golden ship, but Kuina, a peak-level swordsman, eliminated any troublemakers.
Soon, no one dared cause trouble.
Shalria's influence brought in Celestial Dragons, whose memories Ryuya subtly altered.
Upon returning, these Celestial Dragons strongly endorsed Paradise as a unique neutral territory.
This shocked everyone. Paradise received the Celestial Dragons' approval without any tribute.
Many suspected foul play, but found no evidence.
They concluded the Celestial Dragons genuinely liked the place.
Thus, Paradise became the world's only true neutral territory, flourishing within a month, generating immense wealth.
Sailing the Grand Line without visiting Paradise became unthinkable. Paradise was a sensation.
Unknown to others, this was the Dawn Bird organization's first step into the open.
They would eventually shed their cloaks and stand before the world.
