It could initially be seen as a simple report merely explaining the details of the previous mission.

Wyper sat there quietly, watching without making any move. However, the two people behind him seemed increasingly restless.

Since their arrival, they had been left waiting, which was starting to make them uneasy.

After listening to everyone's report, Anos tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest of his chair, his mind already deep in thought.

Looking at Wyper seated across from him, Anos asked calmly, "Chief of the Shandians, what are your thoughts on the future planning of Skypiea?"

"We only wish to return to the land that belongs to us. Upper Yard has always been the home of the Shandians. Beyond that, we are open to discussion!"

Wyper remained silent, but a man in his thirties sitting behind him could not hold back and stood up, addressing Anos earnestly.

"Raki..."

Wyper turned around sharply, glaring at the man who had spoken out of turn.

He had already planned his approach for this negotiation, and it frustrated him to see one of his people speaking impulsively.

"Your Majesty, regarding the Shandians, our initial wish was indeed to reclaim Upper Yard. However, I imagine you already have your own plans, seeing as you summoned us for this negotiation."

Wyper looked directly at Anos, his tone steady yet wary.

"Upper Yard is off the table. Let me make that clear. However, since I called you here, you can rest assured that everything has been carefully considered."

"As for the arrangements for the Shandians, you have two options: settle on Angel Island or be relocated to another small sky island. The Tru Kingdom will provide your tribe with jobs and financial support, and trade will also be established with Skypiea. The specifics, however, will depend on the preferences of the Shandians."

Anos spoke calmly but with authority.

"Wyper, how can we agree to live alongside those people on Angel Island? That is simply unacceptable!"

Raki burst out again, her tone sharper and angrier than before.

Everyone in the room, including Gan Fall and the priests, watched the exchange in silence, choosing not to intervene.

"Raki, I am the chief!"

Wyper finally lost his composure, his voice rising as he glared at Raki.

He understood the dangers of this negotiation failure to reach an agreement could spell disaster for the Shandians.

Anos, observing the interaction with interest, showed no sign of urgency.

"Your Majesty, the Shandians are willing to comply with your arrangements, but we request an independent area of our own. We do not wish to move to a small sky island, and if possible, we would like a portion of Upper Yard just a small area."

"No."

Before Wyper could finish, Anos rejected the proposal outright.

For the Tru Kingdom, Upper Yard held immense strategic importance, and there was no room for compromise on this matter.

Wyper fell silent, while Raki looked defiant, her pride evident.

"Gan Fall, you are most familiar with Skypiea's situation. I am leaving the arrangements for the Shandians to you. Ensure that Angel Island and the Shandians coexist without conflict. You understand the history of their feud better than anyone else."

"Also, I do not want any unforeseen complications in this matter."

Anos's tone grew colder as he spoke, his gaze fixed on Wyper.

With a tribe of just over two hundred people, the Shandians were not a significant concern for Anos.

However, if they proved uncooperative, further negotiations would be unnecessary.

"Your Majesty, the hatred between the people of Angel Island and the Shandians has deep roots. If they refuse to move far from Upper Yard, we could relocate another small sky island closer to this area for their settlement."

Gan Fall proposed the idea, hoping to avoid further complications. He could see that the Tru Kingdom's interest in Upper Yard was non-negotiable.

"Abona, how long would it take to relocate an island cloud from a small sky island?"

Anos turned to Abona, not for his opinion but to assign him the task.

"One day."

Abona replied with conviction.

"Then it's decided. Chief Wyper, does this arrangement satisfy you?"

Anos asked, his tone calm but firm.

"It does. However, once we leave Upper Yard, my people will lack a steady food supply. How will that be addressed?"

Wyper's primary concern was the survival of his tribe. He was willing to compromise but needed assurances that his people would not be left to starve.

"You need not worry about that. The Tru Kingdom will provide your tribe with sufficient food for the next six months. After that, your people will need to sustain themselves through labour and trade."

"Do you accept these terms?"

Anos asked, leaving no room for further negotiation.

"Yes, on behalf of the Shandians, I accept."

Wyper replied reluctantly, realizing this was the best outcome they could hope for.
