A 30% increase in learning and training efficiency… now that's insane.
Sora stared at Robin's status with a sense of admiration.
Even Reiju, with her title as a scientist, could only provide a 10% efficiency boost in the same role.
Yet Robin… brought in thirty percent.
Coupled with the power of the Bloom-Bloom Fruit, Sora was convinced—he had picked up a real treasure.
Glancing at the now-slumbering Robin, Sora stretched and walked out of the room, smiling to himself.
"Young Master, lunch is ready," Shalria said respectfully upon seeing him.
Sora nodded and headed to the dining hall. His recent activities had drained quite a bit of stamina, and he needed to replenish it.
Inside the hall, Makino, Kaya, and others—including Conis, who had arrived with Luffy's group—were waiting for him. As he entered, they all stood respectfully.
"You really don't need to wait for me to eat," Sora said as he took his seat at the head of the table.
On his ship, there were no such rigid rules. You ate when hungry, slept when tired. Sora had no love for formalities and wasn't about to impose them either.
"You two eat as well," he said to Anna and Shalria, who were standing by to serve him.
"Yes, Young Master," they replied and joined him at the table.
As lunch progressed, Sora quietly reflected on his next move.
He hadn't forgotten his goal—to become ruler of the world.
Now that he had reached Skypiea, he planned to claim the floating island as his own.
Be it the Shandians or the Angel tribe, he intended to bring them all under his protection.
Also, since Reiju wasn't interested in eating the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, he still needed to find someone suitable to consume it. That way, he could make use of its powers and bring the Ark Maxim into full operation.
While he was thinking this through, Nami, Nojiko, Makino, Kaya, and Vivi kept sneaking glances at him, clearly trying to muster the courage to plead for the Straw Hats.
Currently, the Straw Hats were imprisoned on Upper Yard (God's Island), under watch by two of the divine guards.
Sora noticed their lingering gazes and easily deduced their intent. But he wasn't bothered by it.
If these women truly didn't care about the Straw Hats, that would've raised red flags for him.
After a moment of thought, he smiled and said:
"Relax. I won't harm them."
"Laki," he called out, turning to the female Shandian warrior. "Later, gather a few Shandians and have them escort the Straw Hats to another Sky Island."
Skypiea had routes connecting to other floating islands, and the Shandians were familiar with the terrain and air currents. After all, their cannon technology originally came from one of those islands.
"I understand." Laki nodded. Ever since Sora defeated Enel, the Shandians had moved into Upper Yard overnight and declared unwavering loyalty to him.
Nami, Kaya, and the others brightened with relief.
As long as Luffy and the rest could safely leave this island, they would be out of danger.
『Ding! Kaya's affection toward host has increased...』
『Ding! Nami's affection toward host has increased...』
『Ding! Makino's affection toward host has increased...』
『Ding! Vivi's affection toward host has increased...』
Sora smiled. He had expected this.
Once the Straw Hats were off the island and the women severed ties with them completely, their loyalty would only deepen.
In time, with just a little guidance, they'd be as devoted as Nojiko.
Sora then turned to the somewhat nervous Conis and said gently:
"If the citizens of Angel Island wish to move to Upper Yard, they'll need to coexist peacefully with the Shandians. Please inform Gan Fall about this."
"Yes! Absolutely!" Conis said with joy, nodding rapidly.
She hadn't expected Sora to allow the Angel Islanders to live on the sacred land of Upper Yard.
The next day—
The Straw Hats were escorted by the Shandians and exiled to another Sky Island.
Nami, Kaya, Vivi, Makino, and the others personally watched them leave. Their relief was clear, and their affection for Sora grew even more.
Later, after Sora brought Robin to the site of the Poneglyph on Skypiea, her affection for him also increased significantly.
Meanwhile, under Gan Fall's leadership, the Angel Islanders officially moved to Upper Yard and began working with the Shandians to build a peaceful coexistence.
Their long-standing feud, already weakened by Enel's tyranny, quickly dissolved—ushering in an era of true peace.
Sora, now treating Upper Yard as his territory, showed no stinginess.
He instructed Reiju to begin teaching Blue Sea technology to both the Shandians and the Angel tribe—greatly improving their quality of life and defense capabilities.
Sora also leveraged his past knowledge from civil service studies to work with Vivi on development plans for Skypiea—offering a roadmap for progress and sustainability.
This act of leadership earned him the heartfelt support of both tribes, who soon elected him as the new "God" of Skypiea.
His kindness, pragmatism, and strength caused Kaya, Makino, and the other kind-hearted women to see him in a whole new light. Their fondness for him rose rapidly.
Vivi, in particular, was deeply impressed.
As a princess who had once seen the horrors of war, seeing peace return to the sky islands under Sora's guidance completely changed her view of him.
She watched as he worked tirelessly with her on plans, improving the lives of others—not through brute force, but vision and care.
Her affection for Sora soared to the top of the group.
Meanwhile, Nami, having followed Sora into the legendary Golden City of Shandora, was climbing just as fast.
When Sora casually told her she could take as much treasure as she wanted—
The money-loving Nami fell completely into his camp.
Back in his private quarters, Sora sat holding the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
Looking at Nami with a smile, he asked:
"Nami, would you like to eat this Devil Fruit?"
