I, a Celestial Dragon!

However, when they arrived, Yixiao had already completed his exploration and left the island.

As a result, Jinbe and the other two also had the same conflict between Ichisho and Rayleigh.

Jinbei and Shiryu felt that Donggit might be on the island in front of them.

Shirahoshi kept muttering, "Why can't he live on stilts forever~" and continued swimming away.

So...half an hour later...

While Jinbe and Shiryu were exploring the first island together, and Ichisho was exploring the second island.

Rayleigh and Shirahoshi discovered the two stilts towering into the clouds on the third island!

Rayleigh looked up in confusion.

"This... this stilt is still moving slowly, so there is actually someone on it!"

"Wow!"

Bai Xing on the side opened his arms.

"I guessed right. People who really love stilts will of course live on stilts for years, haha!"

As he spoke, Bai Xing raised his head, opened his mouth, and shouted at the two bamboos that were invisible to him at all.

"Hey, the guy up there, are you Donggit!!!"

Unfortunately, even though Shirahoshi shouted for a long time, no sound came from the stilts.

Seeing this, Rayleigh smiled and shook his head.

"These two bamboos are almost 1,400 meters high, and the wind should be very strong, so he probably can't hear us.

I'd better go up and see him!"

Having said that, Rayleigh took the Moon Step and rushed upwards, quickly rushing into the clouds.

After a while, Rayleigh finally saw an old man wearing ragged nomadic-style clothes, with a thin body, a lot of beard and hair, and an extremely dirty face.

The old man also saw Rayleigh. Seeing Rayleigh's slippers stepping on the air, he was so scared that he fell backwards.

This time, he actually flipped over along with his stilts.

As the old man screamed all the way, Reilly rushed over, grabbed the old man's clothes, and carried him back to the grass.

Looking at Donggit, whose look of fear had not yet subsided, Bai Xing excitedly shouted to the old man.

"Hello, Grandpa. Are you Mr. Donggit, a member of the tribe of Chief Siwens?"

"Why?!!"

Hearing Shirahoshi's sweet voice, Donggit let out a long sigh.

"Ah, it turns out that I didn't fall into hell. With such a beautiful angel picking me up, I must have gone to heaven..."

"Cough cough!"

Reilly, who was holding Donggit, coughed twice in frustration.

"Hey, do I look like the devil that picks up souls in hell?"

"Ahhhh!!!"

Hearing Rayleigh's voice, Dongjit looked at Rayleigh blankly, and then after a scream, Dongjit simply fainted...

……

Not long after, Shirahoshi, Rayleigh, and a frustrated Ichimi placed the unconscious Donggit on the ground in front of Gawain.

Seeing this, Gao Wen squatted down and patted Dongjit on the forehead.

"Ahhh!"

Donggit completely woke up amid the screams, and the old man finally reunited with his extremely excited tribesmen.

As everyone talked more and more, Gawain and his companions finally found out why Donggit stayed on the stilts!

After meeting his relatives, Donggit came to Gao Wen and his group with a grateful face and said with emotion.

"Thanks to you guys for saving me!

It's terrible, it's terrible!

Originally, I planned to challenge the record of the tallest stilts in the tribe, so I made super long stilts and climbed up.

But it was only after I climbed up that I realized that I actually have a severe fear of heights!

It’s so freaking scary!!!”

Having said that, Dongjitgen wiped the sweat from his head vigorously.

“God knows how I survived!

Most importantly, the bamboo on stilts is still growing.

It was already high enough, but as the stilts grew taller and taller, I became even more afraid to go down!

It really... it really scared an old man like me to death..."

Hearing this, Gawain and his companions were stunned. It turned out that the reason why you stayed on the stilts and refused to come down was not because of your passion for climbing, but because of your fear of heights. You were so scared that you didn't even dare to climb down!

Meanwhile, Donggit continued.

“If there weren’t so many very tall fruit trees on Changhuan Island, there would at least be some fruits growing on them.

Then I really can’t survive, woooo!

What I didn’t expect was that none of my tribesmen came to my rescue. Woohoo, they actually abandoned me!”

On the side, hearing Donggit's words, Sivens felt very aggrieved.

“Mr. Donggit, we didn’t know you were trapped up there!

We called out to you, but you didn't respond, so we thought you liked being on stilts!"

"The wind was so loud up there that I couldn't hear a thing. I was counting on you to find a way to rescue me, but you just left without a word!"

"We didn't leave quietly. We left your Shirley with you. That way, as long as you are willing to get off, you can ride Shirley to catch up with us!"

"Hey?"

Hearing this, Dongjit collapsed. He looked at Gawain and his group with a look of despair on his face.

A moment later, the old man knelt on the ground, crying and begging Gao Wen, hoping that he could save his Moa~~~Oh my god...

……

……

……

After the game time was over, Gawain and his companions continued with their lives.

The people of the Sivens tribe also boarded Gawain's ship, dispersed to all the surrounding long islands, and began to build lighthouses.

As for Donggit’s favorite horse, the old man himself followed the ship to the island and brought the horse Shirley back.

Through this incident, Gawain and his party were completely recognized by the nomadic peoples.

We stayed on the island for seventeen days in a row, three days longer than planned.

The lighthouses on ten islands were finally completed.

At this point, it was time for Gawain and his party to say goodbye to the island.

On this last night, Gawain held a banquet with everyone, and they also tested the effect of the lighthouse under the moonlight.

The lighthouse was very effective. Even without the guidance of the pigeons, people could see the dim lights at night. This made Franky feel relieved and he arranged work for the people who stayed on the island.

In the small meteorological observation station that has been built, the three scholars who stayed behind will continue to record the hydrological changes in the Changhuan Island area. At the same time, they will also summarize the most common types of extremely severe weather near Changhuan Island.

At the same time, the craftsmen who stayed on the ten islands had to explore and map the structure of Changhuan Mountain on the seabed while serving as lighthouse keepers.

Once they have completed the complete structural drawings, they will send them to Franky by carrier pigeon, and Franky will make a complete design of the island chain in the long ring island area based on the drawings.

As for the nomadic people on Changhuan Island, they have reached an agreement with Gao Wen that they will serve as temporary workers when the Changhuan Island chain railway is officially started.

Gawain would pay their salary in the form of half bailey and half in materials. In this way, with a fixed source of food, they would not have to follow the previous tradition of changing islands every three years.

After all, the reason they have been changing islands is to avoid staying on one island for a long time and eating all the already rare animals and edible plants on Changhuan Island.

Now that they had the food for the people and fodder for the horses that Gawain had promised to support them, they no longer had to worry.

For Gawain, accepting nomadic peoples is also a good thing. These indigenous people can not only serve as workers, but even after the island chain plan is completed, they can continue to develop animal husbandry and tourism.

They can also act as tour guides to introduce the customs and culture of Changhuan Island to the large number of tourists who will come after the opening of the railway.

And a horse like Moa, which is almost 20 meters tall...

I guess there will be some market for it in Marijoa.

Even if the Celestial Dragons are unwilling to ride them, they can still hype it up and sell it to nobles and kings of other kingdoms.

As for Uta, knowing that this was her last night on Changhuan Island, she specially prepared two new songs.

One of them was "The Strong Supremacy", which she wrote after seeing the clash between the Whitebeard Group and the Gawain Group.

The other song is "The Song of the Lamb Dog", which she created after she came to Changhuan Island and was inspired by it.

After pouring all her enthusiasm into the final dinner, little Uta fell asleep exhausted. When she woke up again, she was already standing on the side of the Xuanniao, bidding farewell to the people who had come around the island to see her off.

Hearing the pleas of those simple herdsmen, little Uta's tears burst out.

The herdsmen had no special thoughts about Gawain's departure, but they were really reluctant to let go of the singer Uta!

However, as she cried, Uta suddenly couldn't help laughing.

Because she suddenly saw that Chief Sivens on the distant shore was arguing with a seagull that was delivering newspapers.

"Hey, seabird, come down quickly, please. I will really pay you, and I won't stew you!"

The more he said this, the more frightened the seagull became, so it kept cawing and struggling to escape.

So, amid Uta's laughter, the Xuanniao completely left Changhuan Island.

After he left, Gawain's black bird flags were raised on the lighthouses of the ten islands of Changhuan Island...

Chapter 177 Vegapunk's Answer

In the Baron Fortress of the G-8 branch of the Navy, the Den Den Mushi in the headquarters kept chirping.

Lieutenant General Jonathan, commander of the G-8 branch, took the phone lazily and spoke softly.

"Moses, this is Jonathan from Baron. Is this General Sakaski?"

"Well, Jonathan, Gawain's ship has arrived in the waters near your branch. They will be resupplied at the Nabalon Fortress. Please be prepared to receive them."

Sakaski said with a sullen face and a frown.

On the other side of the Den Den Mushi, Jonathan frowned slightly when he heard Sakaski's words.

“It’s amazing.”

He said calmly.

“That person’s team actually came to my branch. It seems that I will have to pay a large sum of money.

Sakaski, you know me, I don’t have that much money, so would you like to support me a little?

Please help me to mention this to the team marshal, just as a..."

"Not at all, old friend."

Sakaski interrupted Jonathan and continued.

"Gao Wensheng has just allocated 10 billion Baileys to the Navy. He would not give the Navy a sum of money and then turn around and take money from the Navy Branch. That is not his character.

Therefore, there is no need to prepare special offerings, just arrange a welcoming banquet.

As for the supplies that Gao Wensheng needs, give them to him. I have already sent a ship to transport backup supplies for you, and it will arrive in half a month.

By the way, come and see for me what kind of person Gawain is!"

At this point, Sakaski was silent for a moment, and after he took a few breaths, he continued.
