After two busy days in the nearby waters, the crew found most of the treasure chests. In total, they obtained 5.44 million pearls and 5.5 million in savings,
Armin was currently organizing the skill books, diagrams, and various other items they obtained, which would take some time.
As Scout watched piles of pearls being poured into boxes and then carried into the captain's quarters, he couldn't help but feel his mouth water.
"So many pearls... General, this is already half of our savings from the past twenty years."
Trajan couldn't help but sigh, "They made money quickly, but not everyone can defeat the three kings' army."
Raine's focus had now shifted more towards the mysterious stone map, with pearls and other treasures becoming less important. They recovered Seleucus and Park's maps, but King's map was still missing.
In the room, Raine placed the four maps together. Since the maps were hand-drawn by each fleet and not a complete piece, it was impossible to complete the puzzle based on texture alone. They had to try and piece them together based on the graphics depicted on each map, which was difficult.
"Captain, it seems like there are still many missing pieces, and it's hard to put them together." Armin tilted her head and struggled to recognize each map's position. "Plus, the maps depict a mirage and without any coordinates, it's difficult to determine their order."
Raine frowned, surprised that even with all four maps, he still couldn't piece together the puzzle.
Furthermore, even though so many people witnessed the mirage at the time, they couldn't determine its location. It was evident that even if they were to obtain all the maps, it still wouldn't necessarily lead them to their destination.
However, this could be considered good news since if it were easy to find, others would have already taken the mysterious stone. With his radar advantage, his chances of finding it were greater than others.
"For now, let's focus on finding all the maps and then search slowly. Oh, and let's go search the islands controlled by King to see if we can find the map."
"Yes, Captain!"
Raine and his group returned to Pandora Island. Last time Raine was here as a guest, but two days later he returned as the new owner of the island.
For years, Trajan had only held a position in the navy, responsible for registering the fleet information in the King-class sea. The navy needed him to set an example, and he did not refuse, just considering it a way to repay the navy for recognizing his abilities. He had not severed ties with the navy completely, but Trajan had lost his taste for war and intended to spend his retirement on Pandora Island.
This delicate balance was shattered when Raine appeared. The two sides had fundamental differences, and Trajan had been enduring the navy for twenty years. Now that he had joined forces with Raine, he no longer had to endure. Upon returning to Pandora Island, Trajan transformed the island's flag into Dad's, while Raine officially occupied the governor's mansion.
The handover was a big task, and Scout, Shobe, and others were busy with it. Meanwhile, Raine began working on building his second aircraft carrier fleet.
Pandora Island was economically prosperous, and materials were relatively abundant, but it could not withstand Raine's massive purchases. However, during the battle with the Three Kings' coalition, Raine did not destroy their three main ships in order to obtain the map. After bringing them back, they could be decomposed into a large amount of materials, which slightly eased Raine's resource crisis. For other resources, they had to rely on Shobe and the navy personnel who went to work on various islands to bring them back together.
Three months later, on this day, Raine and Avril specifically brought Trajan and Olivia to the shipyard. After this period of preparation, all the materials he needed had been prepared.
Olivia looked strangely at the empty shipyard and asked, "Raine, where are the shipyard workers?"
"I sent them back."
"Back? Then how are you going to build the ship? You brought so many materials here."
After getting to know Raine over this period of time, Olivia's attitude towards him changed a lot. Although she had objections to Raine's interference in her contest for marriage, his way of doing things impressed Olivia. At least Raine was not a bad person.
Avril chuckled. "Our captain doesn't need workers to build ships."
"How is that possible?" Trajan asked.
"Trajan, you'll see it for yourself when the time comes." Avril didn't explain it in detail. Even if she told Trajan and Olivia, they probably wouldn't believe it. They had to see it with their own eyes.
The four of them stood at the port, looking at the mountain of materials. Trajan couldn't believe that Raine could build a ship out of them.
Until...
"Build a small aircraft carrier," Raine said, and the materials began to cut and assemble themselves automatically!
Trajan and Olivia were stunned.
"Is this... magic?"
"This is unbelievable! My goodness, what did you do, Raine!"
Raine and Avril just smiled slightly. They had seen this scene many times. Whenever a new batch of crew members arrived, they would be stunned.
In three days, a huge ship identical to the Super Battleship appeared on the sea after a large amount of materials were rapidly assembled.
During these three days, Trajan and Olivia didn't leave, except for a few trips to the restroom.
"I don't know what to say anymore," Trajan shook his head. "It's a miracle, really a miracle! Captain Raine, your ability has exceeded my understanding. This is even more unbelievable than the Son of the Sea God!"
The Son of the Sea God was rare, but there was still more than one of them. Trajan had never been to the Sky-class Sea, he could be sure that only Raine could do this under the sun.
Olivia said, "Raine, I finally understand why you are so relaxed, yet your crew members are devoted to you. You showed them unlimited possibilities!"
Avril interrupted Olivia, "That's only one aspect of it, but you still don't understand Captian. Actually, we follow him more because of other reasons."
"Oh? Avril, what are the other reasons?" Olivia asked.
Avril thought for a moment and said, "He... always treats us like family, and we trust him 100%."
Raine, who was listening in front of them, was a little surprised. It seemed that his image among the crew members was quite positive. Should he be stricter with himself in the future, maybe he could become a legendary captain...
In any case, after three months of settling in Pandora Island, the second aircraft carrier of the Pandora Shipyard was completed. To differentiate it from the first aircraft carrier, Raine named it "Super Battleship No. 2,"
Afterward, Raine began to expand the fleet of this aircraft carrier, including carrier-based planes, frigates, destroyers, and so on.
Now, they had plenty of funds, and they were just waiting for Shobe and the others to bring more materials.
"Shobe and the others should hurry up. With another carrier fleet, my carrier battle group will be complete!" Raine stood on the high wall of the island, staring into the distance. This time, he wasn't as relaxed as before. Two words were constantly hovering in his mind.
"Ice Emperor..."
