"You all continue to talk about the follow-up matters. Gion, later take them to Angel Island to announce the result," Everything had been made clear, Rosse also had no interest in managing the matters that followed.
As for the Rumble-Rumble Fruit matter, after the problems on Angel Island were completely resolved, he would have Gion take Gan Fall on a trip to Birka.
It was both to occupy that place, and also to find the Rumble-Rumble Fruit for him.
"Yes," Several people nodded one after another. Facing Rosse, Gan Fall and Conia were still relatively restrained.
Gion remained rather casual, somewhat curiously asking, "Where are you two going?"
She could hear the implication in Rosse's tone, he was going somewhere else.
"I found an interesting place, going over there to have a look," Rosse chuckled lightly, wrapped an arm around Sora, and with a flash of his figure, decisively disappeared from the ruins.
"What place, being so mysterious," Gion muttered a sentence, but didn't care too much.
Since Rosse didn't take her along, it was certainly unrelated to battle.
If it wasn't battle, then to her it was a troublesome matter, and she really didn't want to bother understanding.
She'd rather take that time to hone her swordsmanship.
"Lord Gion, if nothing unexpected happened, Lord Rosse should be heading to the Golden City," Gan Fall spoke thoughtfully.
He knew everything about Upper Yard. If there was anything here that could still attract Rosse's interest, it would only be that city full of gold.
"Golden City?", Gion raised her eyebrows slightly at those words, turned her head to look at Gan Fall, waiting for his further explanation.
On the other side, Conia's face was also full of curiosity, perking up her ears to listen.
"The Golden City is located in the core area of this island. There is a city entirely made of gold there, only that the Sky Lord resides there, and we are unable to get close," Gan Fall gently shook his head, a look of awe on his face.
"Sky Lord?", Conia exclaimed, "Is it that monster from the legends? I heard that the god from two generations ago was killed by it."
There was a rumor on Angel Island that the god two generations ago had died from an attack by the Sky Lord. As for the specific cause of death, Conia didn't know.
This was a secret only known to the previous generation. By the time she was born, this matter had already passed many years.
"It's shameful to say, the Sky Lord actually doesn't take the initiative to attack humans. It's just that it's simply too huge, with a body length of over two hundred meters, its body is as massive as a mountain. The god from two generations ago was only accidentally bumped by the Sky Lord during an incident and unfortunately died on the spot," Gan Fall lowered his head in shame.
To be accidentally killed by a beast, this kind of death was not at all dignified for a so-called god.
"So powerful?", A trace of worry flashed in Conia's eyes. Although Rosse was bad, she still didn't want anything to happen to Rosse.
"Is the Sky Lord strong?", Gion raised her eyebrows, showing a bit of interest.
"Strong…", Gan Fall had just wanted to say it was strong, but after glancing at the abyss Rosse had created beside them, he swallowed his original words back and changed his statement, "If it were Lord Rosse's previous attack, even ten Sky Lords could be instantly killed."
"Oh, then it's fine. You guys have really insulted the word god," Upon hearing this, Gion instantly lost interest.
She had thought it would be a powerful enemy, but from Gan Fall's description, it was probably just a relatively large Sea King.
A beast about 200 meters long wasn't common, but on the Grand Line it wasn't anything special either.
Normally, such Sea Kings could barely take one of her slashes.
Seeing Gion's reaction, Gan Fall wisely didn't say more, and let Gion bring Conia along to rush with him toward Angel Island.
Before Rosse came over, he had to finish dealing with all the affairs on Angel Island.
———
On the other side, Rosse and Sora also appeared in the Golden City.
As soon as they arrived, they saw a giant snake sprawling on the ground, blood flowing from its seven orifices, lying motionless.
"Already dead," Sora immediately saw the state of the giant snake, looked closely again, then continued, "If there's no mistake, it should've just recently died. This place is at least one kilometer away from your earlier attack. Could Conqueror's Haki-coated attacks really be this strong?"
She couldn't help but look at Rosse, her gaze filled with doubt.
The giant snake wasn't even in Rosse's attack path, but had mysteriously died.
Earlier she had considered whether there were other causes, but judging from the wounds on the snake, it was highly likely to have died from being intimidated by Conqueror's Haki, so the culprit could only be Rosse.
"Of course not that strong," Rosse laughed lightly, affectionately pinched Sora's cheek, and said with a smile, "Conqueror's Haki infusion is a concentrated type of attack, any overflow will greatly weaken the attack's power."
"But it was intimidated to death, that I can be sure of," Sora said firmly.
She herself was well-versed in various medical knowledge, and had also witnessed Sea Kings killed by Rosse's Conqueror's Haki, they looked almost identical to this giant snake.
"Indeed, it was intimidated to death," Rosse nodded with a smile, letting Sora continue to guess.
Seeing Rosse's expression, Sora rolled her eyes at him. A trace of white light flashed in her pupils, then her face showed a strange expression, "After your Conqueror's Haki-coated attack, you released Conqueror's Haki remotely and intimidated this snake to death?"
That was the only explanation she could think of.
"That's exactly it," Rosse nodded lightly, looking satisfied, "This is about the maximum killing range of my Conqueror's Haki, around three kilometers."
This was also a test on his part, to see how much destructive power his Conqueror's Haki could have.
The result was quite good. Facing a Sky Lord whose mental strength was even more fragile than ordinary humans, he could kill instantly from three kilometers away.
If it were a human above E-rank, he estimated it could at most cause unconsciousness.
His Conqueror's Haki was certainly stronger than that of normal powerhouses, but definitely not comparable to Joy Boy's. Now that was the true ceiling of Haki.
"There's really a lot of gold here," Following the usual procedure of collecting a sample from the Sky Lord, Sora looked around at the golden buildings and couldn't help but sigh.
All around were shiny golden structures, and judging from the traces left on the buildings, quite a few had been swallowed by the Sky Lord.
"These buildings are all made of gold, but aside from being interesting to look at, they're not particularly valuable," Sora stepped forward, examined them up close, and quickly came to this astonishing conclusion.
Based on her rough estimate, the gold in front of her was at least several million tons.
At the current gold price of 1,000 Berries per gram, that would be tens of trillions of Berries.
Unfortunately, while it seemed like a high price, to Rosse and them, it didn't mean that much.
Rosse wasn't short on money. If he really wanted to make money, there were countless ways he could do it.
Now more often than not, what he lacked were things that Berry couldn't buy.
