"Black Feather Island? Hmm... yes, it is indeed a good place, but I don't recommend you to become the lord of that place."
"First of all, Black Feather Island is not very large. A baron is the maximum you can claim. If you want to advance to a higher rank, you must annex all the surrounding islands."

And even if he failed to develop marine resources, the maritime trade of Heiyu Island would be enough for him to make a lot of money.
In a word, he didn't lose out.
