Over the past two years, he has returned many times and witnessed the remarkable development of the Tru Kingdom.

Sitting across from him, Anos had gradually earned Fujitora's genuine admiration for his leadership and vision.

However, while these achievements might sound easy to describe, executing them was far from simple.

This time, a staggering 50,000 individuals were sent to Skypiea for training. The scale was unprecedented, presenting a significant logistical and material challenge for the entire Tru Kingdom.

Training an army of 50,000 required nearly 500 billion Beris annually. The cost per person averaged around 10 million Beris each year.

Such an expenditure was virtually impossible for any nation other than the World Government to sustain.

Fortunately, the kingdom had prepared for this. Its annual revenue had reached nearly two trillion Beris, which seemed adequate to cover these expenses.

However, with ongoing investments in warship construction, local troops, and administrative needs, the kingdom's finances were stretched thinner than anticipated.

"General Fujitora, with so many people suddenly stationed on Skypiea, we must carefully plan their training," Anos remarked thoughtfully, his eyes closed in deep consideration.

He was primarily concerned about whether future recruits for the special forces needed more rigorous screening.

Until now, mastering a single skill from the Six Styles had been sufficient to qualify for advanced training.

However, with the kingdom's population growth, more individuals had already mastered multiple Six Styles techniques, necessitating a reassessment of entry standards.

"Your Majesty," Fujitora replied, "regarding your concerns, I will coordinate directly with them upon my return in two days. My initial plan is to have Lieutenant, Haruya remain in Skypiea while General Daiki returns to the kingdom. Additionally, other vice generals will return as needed. With the kingdom's increasing prominence, it's crucial to maintain a balanced distribution of our forces. For the 50,000 trainees, Lieutenant Generals Zen and Moshank can manage them with just a thousand personnel each."

The mentioned officers, Moshank and Zen, had emerged as exceptional leaders within the special forces over the past two years. On Skypiea, they had swiftly mastered Observation and Armament Haki within six months, rising to prominence as some of the most formidable figures in the army.

In total, five new vice admirals had been promoted during this period. Among them was Haruya, the former captain of the royal palace guard.

While his combat prowess had long been recognized, it was his full mastery of his Devil Fruit abilities over the past two years that solidified his reputation as the strongest of the vice admirals.

Jun's transformation over the past two years has been equally remarkable. His Devil Fruit ability had advanced to a level where he could rival even a Marine admiral.

However, the kingdom's military structure had limited openings for full generals, so Jun remained a candidate for a higher rank.

Perhaps the most unexpected development was the rapid rise of Enel. Despite his indifferent demeanour, his accomplishments had left even the most seasoned officers in awe.

By the age of 16, Enel had mastered all Six Styles techniques and achieved notable progress in Armament Haki. However, it was his innate proficiency in Observation Haki that truly astonished everyone.

Born with unparalleled sensory abilities, his Observation Haki now surpassed even those of seasoned generals.

Moreover, Enel showed a keen interest in studying electromagnetic mechanics under Anos's guidance.

While he didn't fully grasp its purpose, both Jun and Fujitora understood the strategic value of such knowledge for the kingdom's future.

In just two years, Enel had transformed into a formidable warrior, earning widespread recognition. With his talents, he was steadily advancing toward becoming one of the kingdom's strongest defenders.

The return of the 50,000 trained soldiers would signify a turning point for the Tru Kingdom.

It would grant the nation unparalleled strength, allowing it to protect itself against any threat in the pirate-dominated world.

Even now, the kingdom's power rivalled that of the Yonko, and neither the Marines nor the World Government dared to provoke it lightly.

Like the Yonko, they preferred a mutually respectful silence to avoid unnecessary conflicts.

The Tru Kingdom's achievements extended beyond military might. Its political and economic systems were thriving, offering a model of development that even the world's most powerful nations envied.

Yet, these advancements were not the result of one individual alone. While Anos played a pivotal role in major decisions, the Kingdom's success stemmed from collective effort.

The Senate had expanded from 100 to nearly 500 members, transitioning leadership from older statesmen to younger, dynamic individuals.

Policies benefiting the people were swiftly proposed, approved, and implemented, ensuring efficient governance at every level.

Though not every official was flawless, the majority remained dedicated to their duties, contributing to the kingdom's continued prosperity.
