After all the spoils of war were divided, only Ganzi was somewhat dissatisfied; he only received a little over two billion in treasure.
If there were no comparison, he would certainly have been very satisfied.
But compared to new and old King Executives like Golden Lion and Silver Axe, he had simply suffered a huge loss.
On the other hand, Maron, who received over a billion Berries, had a beaming smile on his face. Not only did he have enough money to buy a Devil Fruit, but he also had a large sum of cash coming in.
"Bahahaha! Ganzi, don't keep that sour face. If you could awaken Haoshoku, you could also take five billion!"
Barbel laughed wantonly; from now on, he was also a King Cadre.
He and Ganzi were no longer Great Pirates on the same level.
"Hmph!!"
Ganzi was very unhappy, but in this war, he indeed had no eye-catching performance or contribution. Being able to split so much money was already a lot.
If he didn't awaken Haoshoku and his combat power didn't become stronger...
In the future, the money he would be allocated would only get less and less.
Fortunately, as the King of Hachinosu Island, he could still get an extra share of the profits from the gold mines he occupied there, aside from the portion handed over to the Rocks Pirates.
He certainly didn't lack money.
But who would ever complain about having too much money?
He had to find a way to make himself stronger.
Otherwise, sooner or later, he would end up as a marginal figure.

On the other side, after two rounds of bargaining with Golden Lion Shiki, Redfield spent half of his spoils to have Golden Lion Shiki help move Red Soil Island to the New World.
This allowed Golden Lion Shiki to earn another five billion Berries, his face blooming like a sunflower.
Most importantly, Redfield would also owe him a favor.
Originally, Golden Lion Shiki wanted to take all of Redfield's spoils, but Redfield wanted to use the remaining five billion Berries to give to the residents of Red Soil Island as pensions and compensation.
Only then did Golden Lion Shiki drop his covetous thoughts.
Fang Huo knew that by specifically waiting for the Celestial Dragons to start the competition before acting, the casualties on Red Soil Island were somewhat high.
He used a bit of moral kidnapping on Rocks, and the two of them each took out five billion Berries, donating a total of ten billion Berries to Red Soil Island as compensation for Redfield and the island.
Fortunately, the money split this time was enough; otherwise, Rocks really wouldn't have been able to part with it.
However, this money was already enough for the expenses of the Rocks Pirates and the Davy Clan, so Rocks didn't bother to argue with Fang Huo.
While Golden Lion Shiki was working hard to float Red Soil Island...
Several small newspaper offices that Fang Huo had quietly supported were already starting to write big news and arrange photo layouts.
Fang Huo had spent a lot of money over the years to let these private newspaper offices train their own News Coo.
There was no need to rely on the World Government's large news agencies and News Coo.
After waiting for a few days for Golden Lion Shiki to completely float Red Soil Island...
Fang Huo finally let the prepared newspaper offices release the news to the whole world.
These small newspaper offices directly abandoned their headquarters that were out in the open, fled into the New World overnight, and reopened their offices on Hachinosu and Egghead Island.

Holy Land Mary Geoise.
Life had been very oppressive these past few days. The deaths of a large number of Celestial Dragons left every Celestial Dragon family living in grief and anger.
The Gorosei—no, it was now the Four Elders.
The death of the Science Defense Martial God, Saint Jaygarcia Saturn, left the Four Elders somewhat trembling with fear, processing the complaints from those Celestial Dragon families with dark faces every day.
The deaths of Figarland Garling Saint and Saint Mammaia Foss made these Gods Knights, who thought they would never die because of their Immortality, feel incredibly chilled.
Saint Somaz even muttered in private that from now on, as long as it was a mission concerning the Rocks Pirates, he didn't want to go.
He was truly afraid of being killed!
The remaining five Gods Knights could only eventually vent their fear and anger on those trashy clansmen who caused trouble all day.
After countless years, the God's Knights once again personally stained their hands with the blood of Celestial Dragons.
They exercised the Gods Knights' power of judgment and execution, publicly executing several of the most troublesome Celestial Dragons.
Only then was the internal chaos of Holy Land Mary Geoise suppressed.
And the large Marine fleet that was originally urgently sent to the West Blue was also urgently halted by the Four Elders, who had been forced back to the Holy Land by Conqueror's Haki that day.
With only a fleet led by two Admirals, the Four Elders feared there wouldn't be enough for the monsters of the Rocks Pirates to split.
After all, under Rocks' terrifying Conqueror's Haki...
Combat forces below the level of Marine Vice Admiral were useless, no matter how many there were.
Not to mention that even Great Demon Lord Gu Yue Fang Huo and Whitebeard Newgate were monsters who had mastered Conquerors Haki Infusion.
Even Harald might still be on Red Soil Island.
This made the Gorosei feel that even if the Fleet Admiral and the three Admirals acted together, they might not be able to defeat the Rocks Pirates.
One must know that both Rocks and Harald were monsters who had killed Admirals.

The World Government suppressed the intelligence about Red Soil Island. Now, not even many people in Marineford knew the truth about Red Soil Island.
The Four Elders and the Gods Knights were busy pacifying their clansmen in Holy Land Mary Geoise and had no time to care about what the Rocks Pirates were doing on Red Soil Island.
But Saint Somaz and these Gods Knights swore that as soon as the Rocks Pirates left Red Soil Island, they would immediately have the Marine and Cipher Pol agents completely erase this bastard island.
On a certain Marine fleet that had turned back...
Garp and Sengoku didn't know what had happened on Red Soil Island in the West Blue.
They were simply following orders, rushing to Red Soil Island only to have the mission canceled halfway, returning to the G1 Branch Headquarters in the New World.
On this day, Garp was practicing his punches again, determined to take down the Rocks Pirates.
However, just as he was getting into it, newspapers fluttered down from the sky.
"A-re! Picked up a newspaper for free, saved 50 Berries!"
Garp curiously picked up the newspaper. Were newspaper offices so wealthy nowadays?
To actually scatter newspapers directly.
Or maybe those News Coo were afraid he would roast them.
But in the next moment, the news in the paper made Garp's eyes widen instantly.
[Celestial Dragons' 800-year Tradition: The Triennial Native Purge Competition!]
[This time it's Red Soil Island in the West Blue!]
[Celestial Dragons massacred the residents of Red Soil Island, accidentally encountered by the Rocks Pirates and Giant King Harald.]
[A fierce war broke out between the World Government and the Rocks Pirates.]
[Of the 200 brutal Celestial Dragons participating in the Native Purge Competition, more than half are dead or injured, and the remaining Celestial Dragons have fallen into the hands of the Rocks Pirates.]
[Celestial Dragons are not descendants of gods; they are a group of inhuman demons!]
[In 800 years, exactly how many island natives have been wiped out by the Celestial Dragons?]

Headline after headline and content, along with a large number of photos of Celestial Dragons massacring civilians, were published in the newspaper.
There were even photos of the various Cadres of the Rocks Pirates slaughtering Celestial Dragons.
Especially the photo of Great Demon Lord Gu Yue Fang Huo floating over a hundred Celestial Dragon corpse balloons; it made even a righteous Marine like Garp, who had awakened Haoshoku, feel incredibly chilled.
From now on, Gu Yue Fang Huo would become the Great Demon Lord on this sea who truly made children stop crying.
