"Most of the gold was mixed with other metal minerals and cast into standard currency—Gaya coins."
"Once our trade system is mature, Gaya Dollars will be injected in large quantities into the economic systems of Gaya Island and Sky Island."
Oro mentioned a crucial step: "The first priority after the establishment of the United Kingdom is to launch air and sea trade."
"Various types of shellfish with different functions and special cloud materials from Sky Island will be continuously transported to Gaya Island for sale."
"And food, medicine, tools, and industrial products from Gaya Island will be transported to the sky island via trade ships to improve your lives."
"Finally, there's the military."
Oro looked at Tolek and the members of the White Beret unit: "Form a Sky Island Defense Force. The personnel will be a mix of Shandian warriors and Angel Island soldiers."
"This army is directly under my command and is responsible for the defense of the sky island, maintaining order, and any future external operations."
"Past grudges must be put aside in the military! You are now comrades fighting side by side."
The detailed and operational plan is interconnected, covering all aspects of a regime's operation, from politics to economics, from communications to military affairs.
This is not merely a military conquest, but a complete governance plan that can bring prosperity and order.
Gan Fall listened quietly, his unease gradually replaced by a complex mix of emotions.
He longed for peace and did not want his people to be plunged into endless war again.
But he was also confused, unsure of where the path to peace lay.
Auro's appearance broke the deadlock with absolute power, and with such detailed planning, pointed out the direction for the future.
He demonstrated the strength to safeguard this peace and the ability to lead everyone toward a better future.
As Oro finished speaking the last word, Gan Fall slowly rose from his throne.
He looked down at the scepter in his hand, a symbol of divine authority, and after a moment of silence, the young angel god made a decision.
Gan Fall gently placed the scepter on the throne.
This action was as if a tremendous burden had been lifted.
He raised his head, looked calmly at Oro, and walked down the platform step by step to Oro's side, bowing slightly: "Governor Oro, the future you have painted for Sky Island has won my heart."
"As long as the Kingdom of the United States does not betray the Angel Race, from this day forward, the Sky Island will have no more gods, only administrators who serve the Kingdom of the United States."
At this moment, the old era of Skypiea came to an end, and the new Unova Kingdom, named after Jaya, was born.
As news of the war's end and the signing of the alliance spread like wildfire across Gaya Island and Sky Island, the news of the war's end and the alliance's conclusion spread rapidly.
Oro's plans began to be put into practice with astonishing efficiency.
At the Gaya Island pier in June 1488, people watched as the first trading ship to successfully make a round trip between the sky islands and the blue sea unloaded its cargo.
The exotic goods from the sky islands caused a sensation in the trade network centered on Gaya Island.
The lamp is capable of emitting light, and its stable and soft light far surpasses that of ordinary gas lamps and electric lights.
It immediately became a hot commodity, snapped up by wealthy businessmen and workers eager to improve their nighttime working conditions.
The wind-blown shell, capable of ejecting airflow, was discovered by craftsmen to be used in blast furnaces and to power small tools; some even attempted to install it on modified small boats.
Sound recorders are favored by some bars and performance venues for playing music or recording important information.
All the direct supply stores of the Golden Fleet in Mogu Town have removed their original "Supply and Marketing Cooperative" signs and replaced them with the more impressive "Tianhai Trading Company".
At the end of 1488, Auro quickly assembled a merchant fleet belonging to the Gold Caravan, with the Trade Office at its core.
These ships not only traveled between Gaya Island and Sky Island, but also began to extend trade routes to the islands surrounding Gaya Island.
Trade was particularly thriving with Alabasta, the region with the largest population and the largest area in the first half of the Grand Line.
Unique Sky Island goods are also very popular in the Alabasta market, earning large amounts of Beli and various resources, and wealth accumulates rapidly like a snowball.
Meanwhile, changes are also taking place on the Sky Island.
Following Oro's orders, the Shandian warriors and the divine soldiers of Angel Island began to be mixed together to form the initial Sky Island Defense Force.
The process was not without its challenges. Long-standing hatred cannot be eliminated with a single order; verbal altercations frequently erupted during training, and even physical conflicts occasionally occurred.
However, the laws established by Oro were extremely strict, explicitly prohibiting private fights caused by past hatred, and violators would be severely punished, regardless of whether they were Shandians or Angels.
At the same time, the shared training, the same food rations, and the shared sense of honor as future "aerospace legion" backbone members began to slowly take effect.
At least on the surface, both sides exercised restraint and began attempting to train in the same queue.
Scattered civilian contacts also began to appear between the Angels and the Shandians.
Some daring Angelic merchants, carrying daily necessities, attempted to trade near the Shandian villages in exchange for rare Sky Island herbs or Shandian handcrafted leather goods.
Although the trading process is often silent and cautious, it is, after all, a beginning.
In the heart of Apayado, a magnificent building is rising at a visible pace.
The Central Affairs Hall, completed in 1491 of the Haiyuan calendar, is a massive architectural complex that blends the elegance of the Angelic architecture with the ruggedness of the Shandian style.
This complex of buildings, gleaming in the sunlight, has become a new landmark on the Sky Island.
During this time, Lingling fell completely in love with the island's specialty "cloud cotton candy" and various sweet cloud fruit pies.
Having enjoyed her meals every day, Lingling was even more motivated to train.
Besides being busy researching the various applications of shellfish from the Sky Island, Gale also occasionally assisted Taylor in handling the ever-increasing trade accounts, demonstrating outstanding meticulousness and management skills.
The ever-growing number of the security fleet and the merchant fleet kept York and Brook extremely busy.
After the Rumba Fleet took over the whale Labu, it transformed from a security oversight fleet into an agency directly under Oro, overseeing the entire Golden Fleet and the Kingdom of Gaya.
Whether it's a political system, military, or trade, the initial development speed is always the fastest, but rapid development also means entering a bottleneck period more quickly.
This world is ultimately about individual strength, and the development of subordinate forces is merely secondary.
After temporarily delegating the governor's powers to York, Brooke, and the secretariat headed by Taylor, and arranging plans and affairs for the future of the United Kingdom, the governor's powers were temporarily distributed.
With Gails and Lingling in tow, Auro raised the solar sails of the Golden Dawn once again and set sail once more.
They planned to return to the New World via a route they had never taken before, to pick up a crew member who had already been chosen.
