[Three Days Later]
After Gan Fall announced his abdication and Rosse became the new god of Skypiea and Angel Island ushered in the era of the new god.
In three days, Rosse only did three things.
Had Zephyr establish a guard team to fish in the White Sea, had Gion and Gan Fall lead people to Birka, had Stella and Moa lead people to Upper Yard to kill.

[Upper Yard]
"This is the last Shandian settlement," Moa stood on a high place, overlooking the settlement below, with a hint of reluctance in her expression.
Below, a massacre was underway.
Led by them, the Jaygar District elites led the team, supplemented by 300 fully armed Skypieans, were massacring the Shandians.
Faced with the manpower they brought, the Shandians had no power to resist at all.
But the scene in front of her was not the scene Moa wanted to see.
At this moment, she felt that she had betrayed her former pursuit and was helping Rosse to commit evil.
"Do you think they are innocent?", Stella beside her still had a sweet smile on her face.
It seemed that since she had followed Rosse, there had always been a smile on her face, never interrupted.
In fact, she was indeed satisfied with her current life, living happily every day.
If Rosse wanted to kill, she would help. If Rosse wanted to do evil, she would fuel the flames.
"Aren't they?", Moa couldn't help but retort, "This is their hometown, but they didn't even think about going out, and they were killed by the Skypieans."
"The Skypieans gave them a chance to integrate, but they refused," Stella said softly.
"This is their hometown after all, it was an accident that brought them to the sky, if it were anyone, they wouldn't want to join another force, right?", Moa argued.
"So they are exterminated now," Stella's tone was calm.
She didn't care about the Shandians or the Skypieans, she only cared about Rosse.
She didn't care about others, who would care about her?
At the time in the slave shop, it was Rosse who gave her salvation.
The most ironic thing was, in others' eyes Rosse was a demon, but she never saw any so-called good person come to save her.
"You're just like that one," Moa curled her lips and didn't argue with Stella anymore.
Actually, she had no right to say anything.
In this operation to exterminate the Shandians, she was the apparent leader.
Several settlements were even personally handled by her.
But in order to complete the undercover mission, she had no choice.
And precisely because it was a helpless move, her heart felt even more troubled.
"If you see this kind of thing often, you'll get used to it," Stella said softly, paused and continued, "This world never had mutual understanding. You understand others, others won't understand you. The hatred is already formed. If the Skypieans don't kill the Shandians, it's the Shandians who kill the Skypieans."
"Can't they just let go of hatred?", Moa's eyes showed confusion, she didn't want this. The world she idealized was a world without fighting.
"Maybe, if you can accept master, maybe they can also let go of hatred," Stella said softly, then floated down from the tree.
The battle below was already over, she had to heal the wounded Skypieans.
Since they didn't kill many Skypieans, and Gan Fall abdicated voluntarily and still served as divine envoy, so the entire Angel Island didn't reject them much.
Instead, because they exterminated the Shandians, many Skypieans were grateful to them.
After all, because of God's trial, many Skypieans died at the hands of the Shandians, these people all had their own relatives.
Revenge was also their thought.
The 300 Skypieans who came to the operation this time, almost all had blood feuds with the Shandians, most had direct relatives who died at the hands of the Shandians.
"I can accept that guy?", Moa looked at Stella with a complicated expression, filled with resistance inside.
She would never forgive that man.
That man who took everything from her.
If there was a chance, she would only let him die miserably.
But unfortunately, that could only be a luxury wish.
Thinking of what Stella said, Moa smiled self-deprecatingly.
Indeed, she couldn't even accept Rosse, so why should the Skypieans accept the Shandians?

[Skypiea, Birka]
The area of Birka was only about half that of Angel Island, with a population of only 5,000.
There was also its own god here, mainly Skypieans, but there were still a small number of wingless races.
BOOM!
A blood-colored mist shrouded this area, a strong smell of blood filled the sky above Birka.
Sizzle!
Under everyone's eyes, Birka's god fell in the ruins, blood splattered on the spot, his head flew high, dying with eyes open.
"Annoying," Gion slightly frowned, her eyes showing indifference.
Originally Gan Fall was to negotiate and make Birka belong to Angel Island's jurisdiction, and at the same time mobilize Birka's Skypieans to search for the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
No need to worry about someone eating it first. Even if someone ate the fruit, Rosse could take it out.
But as soon as they came to the island, they were rejected by Birka's god, and he even wanted to kill them.
Gion wasn't someone who loved killing, but wouldn't show mercy either.
Since he wanted to block her, then be ready to die.
"Gan Fall, take over the whole of Birka, search for the fruit for Saint Rosse," Gion said lightly.
"Understood," Gan Fall answered respectfully and bowed.
The strength of Birka's god was about the same as his, already killed by Gion in one move.
If it had been him, it would probably be the same thing in one move.
Respecting the strong was always the way to survive in this world.
Besides, this was also to develop Angel Island.
After annexing Birka, Angel Island's power could become much stronger.
"Hmm?", Gion suddenly looked up, her Observation Haki saw an interesting scene.
"No need to look for the fruit, I've already found it, you take over Birka," After leaving these words, Gion's figure disappeared, leaving behind a puzzled Gan Fall.
When Gion reappeared, she was already in a magnificent temple.
This was the residence of Birka's god, also a forbidden place for ordinary Skypieans.
In the center of the temple, there was a statue dozens of meters high, this was the statue of the first generation Birka god.
In front of the statue, there was an offering table.
On the offering table, there was a square box.
When Gion arrived at the temple, just in time a child opened the box and took out the golden fruit inside.
"Rumble-Rumble Fruit... looks exactly like in the illustrated book," Gion whispered, her eyes fell on the boy.
She had heard Rosse say before.
Devil Fruits often attracted those who suited them.
And the scene before her seemed to be verifying this.
If it weren't for her unexpected appearance, the owner of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit should be this boy.
"Then again that's not right, if there's really fate, then this fruit should belong to me even more. After all, I happened to come here..."
