Collect both pieces for the set bonus: Increases fire resistance by 40%.

Collect all four pieces for the set bonus: Increases damage dealt by 35% when attacking enemies that are burning or in a Pyro state.

A fiery flower appeared in Yang Ming's hand and then merged into his body.

This is a flower that blooms only after being burned by flames. The burning pain makes the wearer even more tenacious. The fiery red flower is like a shining agate stone.

Blooming after enduring intense flames, these flowers must shimmer with the glow of embers amidst the heat and black smoke.

Even now, the lingering glow of the flames on Yang Ming's body was so dazzling that Enel felt like he couldn't open his eyes.

Yang Ming secretly calculated that if he could collect both the Witch's Ever-Burning Feather and the Firefly's Resolve relic sets, he might be able to truly master the Bankai of Ryujin Jakka, and thus display a powerful slash on this sea that was comparable to the 2000 million degrees Celsius core of the sun.

This is a long and arduous task.

Suppressing his distracting thoughts, Yang Ming looked down at Enel and said:

"Are you satisfied?"

Enel exhaled a puff of smoke, his lips trembling slightly.

If he could swear, Enel would probably have already pointed at Yang Ming and given him a good scolding.

Did I know you before?

You beat me up just to ask me if I submit?

"If you don't say anything, I'll take that as a sign of dissatisfaction."

Yang Ming shook his head secretly, then continued:

"That's true. Even if I wanted to subdue you, you have a rebellious nature. Even if I could suppress you for a while, I couldn't suppress you forever. You might stab me in the back at any time. I'd rather turn you into a Six Paths Puppet."

Yang Ming crouched down, and the windmill-shaped pattern in his pupils spun rapidly, transforming into multiple pupil shadows.

With a flick of Yang Ming's right hand, a long, black iron rod appeared in his hand. He gently patted Enel's cheek and said:

"Don't worry, I won't let you die. If you die, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit will reappear in other places. So I will preserve a part of your consciousness, but you will not be able to control your body."

"Mine is big, bear with it."

As Yang Ming drew closer and closer with the black iron rod in his hand, Enel's pupils dilated in shock.

Enel, whose body was already on the verge of death, suddenly mustered a strength from somewhere, and a hoarse, low voice suddenly came from deep in his throat:

"Don't come over here!"

Enel never dreamed that all the tragic things he should never have encountered in his life would happen to him in such a short period of time on this one day.

pain!

My whole body aches!

What terrified Enel even more was that his consciousness suddenly fell into a mental prison. He could still sense what was happening outside, but he was powerless to change it.

"call!"

Yang Ming raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, then patted the dust off his palms and told Enel to stand up.

The tall, heavily injured young man sat up in shock from his deathbed, his trembling figure as if a gust of wind could blow him away.

The only difference was that Enel's pupils now displayed rings of shadow, and deep within them flowed a fury emanating from the depths of his soul, as if he wanted to destroy the world in thunder.

"very good!"

"From this day forward, you shall be one of the seven deadly sins: wrath!"

"At the same time, you are also a capable member of the Dark Night Overlord Lee Ao Pirates!"

Yang Ming took out medical bandages and healing medicine from his spatial ring and tossed them to Enel to treat his wounds. He then took out the Dimensional Array Shangri-La, consumed a portion of the Philosopher's Stone, and brought Enel back to the Kingdom of Prodinus, instructing him to retreat and heal his injuries to avoid appearing in the sight of others and exposing their relationship.

Previously, Yang Ming had already established a spatial anchor point in the Kingdom of God, carrying the divine Ganful on his back.

After dealing with Enel's matter, Yang Ming returned to the Kingdom of Gods via spatial teleportation.

When Yang Ming returned in triumph, he was naturally greeted by a large crowd of people lining the streets.

Upon hearing the news of Yang Ming's return, Shen Ganful removed his armor, changed into ordinary clothes, and rushed to greet him. To show his respect, this shrewd old man even shouted:

"Captain Yang Ming, on behalf of all the people of the Kingdom of God, I beg you to become the guardian deity of our nation!"

Chapter 129 But as long as you have the determination, it's never too late to start... Starting from scratch

The Kingdom of God is mainly composed of Angel Island and Apayado. Apayado, the island of God, was once the island where the gods lived and was called the Sanctuary. It was originally a forbidden place where the residents of the Sky Island were strictly forbidden to set foot. Anyone who dared to disobey the ironclad rules of the gods would be severely punished. Even the former god Ganful did not change this inhuman rule.

Because only when God and man live in different places and are far apart can God's specialness be demonstrated.

If God were to live among men, God would unveil his mysterious veil, and where would his majesty be?

But now, with Yang Ming taking control of Sky Island, everything has changed dramatically.

The residents of the Sky Island who originally lived on Angel Island began to relocate to Apayado Island.

The Shandians, who had been driven to the fringes, finally returned to their ancestral land after signing a treaty of peaceful coexistence and began a new life.

The war demon Vepa and his captured priests and soldiers are now paying the price for their past mistakes. Wearing heavy shackles, they are carrying gold through the ancient golden city of Shandora. They are even carefully scraping off the gold dust that coats the buildings and collecting it in specially made bags.

Tina is meticulous and patient, and she is supervising from the side to prevent anyone from secretly hiding gold.

Yang Ming's elaborate efforts to conquer Sky Island were certainly not solely for Enel's sake. The gold buried in Shandora was also one of his targets, serving as a source of funding for his current power-building efforts.

After laboriously transporting a cartload of gold to the warehouse, War Ghost Wipa wiped the sweat from his forehead. His heart was no longer filled with resentment or fear towards Yang Ming, only with boundless gratitude.

If Yang Ming hadn't agreed, the Shandiya people might never have had the chance to return to their ancestral land.

It could be said that Yang Ming easily won the hearts of the Shandya people and made them his staunch supporters by simply signing his name on the peace treaty. Even after Yang Ming led his warships away from Sky Island, War Ghost Wipa and others would continue to support him as the ruler of Sky Island.

The Shandiya people knew very well that their numbers were far fewer than those of the Sky Island natives. In addition, the centuries-long conflict had created a complex web of grudges and grievances between the two tribes. If they wanted to stay on this ancestral land, the only way was to unite firmly around Yang Ming and avoid being driven out by the Sky Island natives again.

War Ghost Wipa occasionally glanced up and saw that the Golden City had been swept clean of all kinds of bushes and grasses, and the green vines on the walls had been uprooted. The once deserted city had regained its vitality, and a large number of people had moved into the empty houses. Banners were even posted in some open spaces.

"Land is the lifeblood of ordinary people!"

"Help the people to seek their interests and distribute land to them!"

"Our goal is to build a new world where everyone has a place to live, food to eat, clothes to wear, and books to read!"

"Expel superstitious ideas, stop believing in gods, and let everyone be a good new master of the country!"

Whenever he saw these novel banners and those peculiar slogans, War Ghost Wipa always felt a certain stirring deep within him.

He recognized each word individually, but when put together, they created an unimaginable picture for the Shandiya people and the inhabitants of the Sky Island.

"We can actually become the new masters of the country, and no longer just members under the rule of God?"

Many others shared the same sentiment as the War Ghost Weapon, and Connie was one of them.

This blonde, blue-eyed girl and her family were allocated a house and a shop in the golden city of Shandora. Now they run a pumpkin café with their family. The pumpkins are wild pumpkins from the Sanctuary, and the coffee beans come from a group of merchants who travel back and forth between the space anchor points.

It is said that this group of merchants came from Dressrosa Island and transported iron products made by the Kingdom of Prodines to the Sky Island, where they were immediately warmly welcomed by the Sky Island residents.

Compared to everyday items made from shells, iron products were more durable and more beautiful, and in the past only gods were entitled to use them.

It's worth mentioning that a currency called Ik is prevalent on the Sky Island. One Beli can be exchanged for 10,000 Ik, and 100 Beli can buy a delivery newspaper from the World Economic Herald.

After the merchants happily dumped their iron products at high prices to the residents of the Sky Island, they then bought a batch of Sky Island specialty products from the local residents at low prices.

Sound Shells, Light Shells, Water Shells, Image Shells, Flavor Shells, Cloud Shells, Wind Shells, Wind-Spitting Shells, Flame Shells, Heat Shells, Flash Shells, Impact Shells, Repulsion Shells, and Slash Shells—these are commonplace on Sky Islands and can even be occasionally found on the beaches of Angel Island, but they are rare items in the Blue Sea.

After all, Sky Island and Qinghai are tens of thousands of meters apart, and in the past there were only a handful of ways to reach Sky Island. As a result, products from Sky Island would immediately be wildly sought after by Celestial Dragons and nobles if placed in Qinghai.

These shrewd businessmen even set their sights on those unusual clouds.

Iron clouds, processing clouds, and island clouds—these clouds with their remarkable uses are undoubtedly excellent commodities, and it is foreseeable that they can generate substantial profits.

These merchants all came from a business organization called the Dinosaur Merchant Guild in the Kingdom of Dressrosa. The Dinosaur Merchant Guild was officially run by Drake, but the actual shareholder behind the scenes was Yang Ming.

The Kingdom of Dressrosa is located at a key transportation hub in the New World and has been a strategic location fought over by military strategists since ancient times. It has natural commercial and strategic value, which is also an important reason why Doflamingo, the Heavenly Demon, was so determined to take back the Kingdom of Dressrosa.

Drake took over Yang Ming's role as the kingdom's guardian. At the same time, under Yang Ming's secret instructions, he established the Dinosaur Merchant Guild to recruit business talents and raise funds for his power through business dealings.

Yang Ming did not want to pursue the highly profitable arms trade, as that would only incite endless conflicts between countries, so he had no choice but to set his sights on other directions.

Who is the fattest sheep in the world?

Those would naturally be Celestial Dragons and nobles.

With Yang Ming, a rising star in the navy, as his backer, even if the Celestial Dragons and nobles were envious, they wouldn't try to seize the Dinosaur Merchant Guild. They could only obediently trade with him and send money into Yang Ming's pockets continuously.

Compared to directly robbing Celestial Dragons and nobles, this is the real way to make money.

After greeting the customers in the shop, Connie took a break and sat on a bench, watching the bustling scene in the Golden City. She felt as if she were in another world.

Not long ago, they were worried that the tyrant on the little sky island of Bika would invade their home.

In the blink of an eye, they moved into a big house with just their bags and even had their own pumpkin café. It was like a dream come true.

"Things will get better day by day."

Connie's gaze drifted toward the crowded fountain plaza, where a Sky Island resident was giving a street speech in preparation for running for councilor.

After witnessing Yang Ming's formidable fighting prowess, God Ganful, for the sake of his own life, resolutely decided to resign from his position as god and hand over the rule of Sky Island to Yang Ming.

However, Yang Ming did not become the new god of Sky Island as he had wished. Instead, he combined his knowledge and experience from his previous life to devise a state mechanism based on the separation of powers.

In this new nation comprised of the Kingdom of God and the small sky island of Bika, the legislative, executive, and judicial powers are respectively held by the government, members of parliament, and the courts in the national political structure and allocation of power resources, thus supervising and balancing each other.

This novel organizational structure is truly a revolutionary product on this vast ocean.

Most countries are still in the feudal era, where the ruler of a country is the king, and below him is the noble class, who together rule over countless people.

In this new organizational structure, ordinary people have the right to vote and be elected. Every citizen is eligible to run for a seat in parliament, to contribute ideas to this new country, and to work together to build a better future.

This move directly broke the hereditary power of the nobility!

As Yang Ming meticulously planned all of this on the sky island, intelligent people like Jonathan were so astonished that they couldn't close their eyes for three days and three nights, unable to sleep at all.
