Chapter 1109 - 656: O’hara at 4 A.M.
Man!
Have you ever seen O’Hara at four in the morning?
Gin, with brown skin and having never heard of basketball, hasn’t seen it because he’s not in O’Hara now. He is in the first half of the New World, responsible for conquering Magnetic Field Island and the surrounding islands.
However, in O’Hara, Lily has seen it, and even earlier.
"Lady Lily, Reedchilde Island, Mistria Island, and Thunder God Island have been successfully conquered. Using these magnetic field islands as the center, we have started scouting the surroundings. We believe results will come soon. Currently, we have stable control of all magnetic field islands leading to Fishman Island in the first half of the New World."
Around three in the morning, Gin made a call. Through a report by the assistant officer, Lily was connected.
The three islands he mentioned are the ones indicated by the New World Log Pose after leaving Fishman Island, and as climate-variable islands, they pose the first major challenge for those entering the New World.
Each island is quite dangerous, especially Thunder God Island, which is constantly shrouded in thunderclouds, with lightning strikes like rain.
Such islands, even for the Disaster Pirates...
It’s like returning home.
Just kidding, it’s just some lightning. The pirates who followed Governor Sage’s expeditions are long accustomed to such situations.
They can’t be stumped.
The conquest of these three islands signifies that the last magnetic field island connecting the New World with Fishman Island has been absorbed into their realm, marking complete domination of the first half of the New World.
"Yes, continue with the original strategy, the central blossoming model. Use a magnetic field island as the center, spread out pirate ships, map any discovered island, and deploy Life Paper."
Lily slightly nodded and said, "The upcoming strategy for the first half can be handed over to others. Prepare yourself for the front lines upon return."
"Understood! Lady Lily!"
The Radio Snail’s expression suddenly became solemn, filled with determination.
"That’s it, I have other matters to attend to."
Lily also decisively hung up the phone.
These words weren’t merely polite or an excuse; she was indeed busy.
By now, she had just awakened from her sleeping quarters, not even changing her attire.
"Lady Lily..."
Kalifa, serving by her side, said, "Do you need bathing and dressing? I’ll assist you."
"Let the maid handle it. You give me the geological surveys of the recent islands, including the three new ones reported by Gin. They should have been submitted earlier, right?"
Lily shook her head and got up from the desk. Under the light, the wide, white sheer gauze nightgown failed to conceal her figure, instead accentuating it, especially around the bosom and buttocks, making the dress appear more dimensional.
As she walked, the area around her chest jiggled with elasticity.
"Yes, the previous reports are ready. I’ve recorded them all."
"Okay, first give me the materials on Magnetic Field Island."
Speaking, Lily took the lead, walking into the bathroom. Kalifa pushed her glasses and followed her inside.
Still in the Royal Palace, though it wasn’t as large as the frequently-used bathing area by Sage, as the Prime Minister, her living quarters weren’t small and were well-equipped, with a sizable bathroom.
The bathroom was constantly filled with steaming heat, and the water would be replaced every few hours, never left for long. The maids operated on shifts, always ready to serve.
Lily held the materials given by Kalifa, reading as she walked towards the bath. After taking a few steps, two maids approached, gently removing her clothes, while two more dropped petals into the bath.
Lily didn’t lift her head. Covered by the maids, her smooth jade-like back couldn’t be concealed by the steam as she entered the water.
Lily slightly tilted her head back, allowing her long golden wavy hair to spread in the water. She closed her eyes as the maids began cleansing her but opened them in less than three minutes to scrutinize the documents.
Her bathing ritual didn’t enjoy the same indulgence as Sage’s, who could bathe for hours. Even with maid service, she concluded in half an hour. After cleaning, the maids dressed Lily in her white long dress, fastening armor at her chest, arms, and hips, marking her transition into work mode.
Throughout this time, her gaze never left the documents.
Once done, Lily exited the sleeping quarters, taking ten minutes to reach her office, and after sitting down, contemplated for less than three seconds before looking at Kalifa: "Ten Magnetic Field Islands, I’ll speak, you record, then report to the three assistant officers for allocation."
Kalifa skillfully picked up pen and paper, ready to note Lily’s words.
The Magnetic Field Islands, including the three mentioned by Gin, currently lie in the direction towards Fishman Island. Five routes with two each, the data are recent and consolidated.
"Mengdu, this island has developed well, with a university and a church. Preserve the university; they should continue teaching what they teach. As for the church, ask if the local bishop is willing to change their god to Sage; if not, abolish it. Modify the doctrines. It’s a place with many estates, ideal for producing red wine, which is Sage’s favorite."
"Sevilla Madrid, I see the land is quite fertile, suitable for planting and has grasslands, so don’t produce unnecessary items. I’ll set some points for those places to reform: cotton, tobacco, and sheep. Just produce these."
"Srilanka, a tropical monsoon climate, produces gemstones, but the quantity is too low, so no need for excessive regulation. I see they grow tea well; focus on this. Their fashion is also famous, so tackle both."
