Chapter 15: The New Sky Island God: Barzab Seven

The Shandians have excellent sleep quality.

Within just two days, they were repeatedly stunned by Conqueror’s Haki, not waking until the sun was high in the sky, when Carpa and the Shandian warriors gradually stirred.

Not far away, Seven and Mihawk were sparring.

They fought without using Haki or flying slash techniques, relying solely on pure sword strikes.

Clang～ Clang～ Clang～

Watching the two figures duel, Carpa couldn’t help but sigh: “No wonder Seven has grown so strong.”

While we were still sleeping, they were already training. From now on, every Shandian warrior must keep pace with Warrior Seven.

Roll it up!!!

Sensing the warriors waking one by one, Seven ended his sparring with Mihawk and led the Shandian legion toward the sky island region ruled by Gahn Foor.

All he sought was to be crowned the new god of the sky island.

Consolidate resources while continuing to grow stronger.

After opening the system for over a month, he’d only earned one Gorilla Fruit and sold it for 1,200 points…

The efficiency was simply too low.

In truth, the current sky island god, Gahn Foor, had long tried to ease the hatred between sky islanders and Shandians, seeking peace between the two races.

But Gahn Foor lacked personal strength—he couldn’t crush opposition with overwhelming force like Seven.

Disagree? Beat you until you submit.

Seven was no bleeding-heart do-gooder; when he first crossed over, he saw everyone around him as paper-thin characters.

He was fiercely proud inside.

Only after failing to outwit life, struggling desperately just to survive, did he finally face reality and abandon wishful thinking.

This was a living, breathing world.

He sought peace between Shandians and sky islanders mainly because the sky island was rich in resources—abundant gold, and all kinds of shells.

Perfect for development while earning points.

Upon hearing Seven’s intent, Gahn Foor not only refused—he even roared and led the sky island warriors in resistance.

“Sky islanders will never be slaves!”

After peaceful negotiations failed, Seven drew his blade; thunderstorms erupted across the sky, mingling with crimson and black Haki.

As the two forces surged forward, all sky island soldiers collapsed into unconsciousness, leaving only Gahn Foor standing, his body smoking from lightning strikes.

Gahn Foor plopped down on the ground.

“Seven Taro, you went too far.”

“Sorry.”

Only then did Seven realize—Gahn Foor had wanted the sky islanders to see the gap, to prevent future rebellion.

Gahn Foor waved his hand, his face unreadable—whether defeated or relieved, no one could tell.

“I hope you become a worthy god. Otherwise, even if I’m no match for you, I’ll lead my people in rebellion.”

Letting an outsider like Seven become god of the sky island was Gahn Foor’s last, desperate compromise.

If the sky island warriors had been able to defeat Seven, the outcome would have been different.

But they hadn’t just failed—they’d been utterly crushed, the gap terrifying.

One glare from him, and his entire tribe fell.

As for refusing and leading a death-defying rebellion?

Gahn Foor knew Seven wouldn’t mind showing the sky islanders what a real pirate truly was.

Pirates weren’t gentle souls.

Seven smiled: “I’ve always believed in democracy.”

What is democracy? Equality above oneself, strict hierarchy below.

Gahn Foor nodded: “I hope so.”

“Then.” Seven turned to the doctor: “Wake them up. Let’s throw a feast!”

The root of hatred between the two races lay in the extreme scarcity of land above the White Sea, leading to unequal resource distribution.

How to solve it?

Seven had no concrete plan yet.

But even if he did, he’d only set the policy—the actual implementation would fall to Gahn Foor and Carpa.

But first, let’s get the wine and barbecue ready.

One meal isn’t enough? Then have two.

While the chefs slaughtered sheep and oxen, Seven asked Gahn Foor for various types of sky island shells.

“Shells? Seven… my lord, a man like you still needs such external things?”

Though puzzled, Gahn Foor still obeyed the current sky island god’s command and sent men to fetch dozens of shell varieties.

“This is the Laser Shell…”

As Gahn Foor explained each shell’s function, the doctor subtly edged closer.

“My lord, what will your divine title be?”

Flashing before his eyes was the figure from the vision—only a side profile and chin visible—Seven smiled faintly.

“His Divine Majesty, Mikoto no Kami, the Supreme Sovereign.”

“Divine title: Lei Shen.”

Gahn Foor nodded thoughtfully: “I’ll have the priests spread your divine title to every corner of the sky island as soon as possible.”

Under the pretense of bathing, Seven gathered the sky island shells and slipped into the bathroom.

After drifting from Rog Town all the way to the sky island, the harvest was finally here.

As reusable combat resources, sky island shells would be hard to sell if priced too high.

But if priced too low, he’d feel cheated.

After brief thought, Seven referenced the Flying Cloak’s 1,000-point price, edited the listings, and put up ten types of shells on the trading platform.

【Laser Shell: 1,000 points, concealed laser blade, capable of severing giant trees in one strike】

【Flash Shell: 1,000 points, emits blinding light to disrupt vision, essential for ambushes】

【Impact Shell: 1,000 points, absorbs and releases impact, small size, immense power, strong recoil—use with caution】

【Strike Shell: 10,000 points, extinct shell, ten times the power of Impact Shell】

【Slash Shell: 1,000 points, releases slashing attacks at will—want to become a swordsman too?】

【Wind Jet Shell: 1,000 points, extinct shell, combines attack and mobility】

【Water Shell: 500 points, portable water storage and spray tool】

【Heat Shell: 500 points, portable cooking tool, absorbs and releases heat】

【Flame Shell: 1,000 points, Burn-Burn Fruit—wouldn’t even feed to a dog】

【Octopus Hot Air Balloon: 1,000 points, sky island specialty, designed for survival at high altitudes】

Since sky island shells were rarely used across the Grand Line, Seven’s pricing was aggressively high—several times the direct-sale system’s rate.

He was testing the market.

After all, this month had only a few days left; next month, listing slots would reset.

Besides, maybe travelers from other worlds needed them?

【Ding! Your listed item: Water Shell, purchased by an End-World user. Earned 450 points. Current balance: 716.】

【Ding! Your listed item: Laser Shell, purchased by an End-World user. Earned 900 points. Current balance: 1,616.】

【Ding! Your listed item: Flame Shell, purchased by a Naruto user. Earned 900 points. Current balance: 2,516.】

【Ding! Your listed item: Flash Shell, purchased by a Naruto user. Earned 900 points. Current balance: 3,416.】

The continuous alerts left Seven stunned for a few seconds, then he burst into laughter.

“Tsk tsk tsk. Exposed.”

Seven never expected that after selling items, the system would reveal which world the buyer came from.

That meant the guy from Demon Land knew he’d bought Dream One.

“Go ahead and show off, you idiot!”

“Awesome!!!”

With over 3,000 points earned, Seven was in high spirits—and began wondering if his shell prices had been too conservative.

“That guy from the Naruto world probably has high demand for elemental shells like Flame Shell.”

“Next month, I’ll double the price.”
