After Shirahoshi was kidnapped, Ron immediately sent Luo and Fujitora to find Franky. With the consent of both parties, Franky handed over the design to them.
There may be some choices he made purely to protect the Straw Hats, but more importantly, he has a true understanding of the current world situation, and he knows that handing over the design to the person who represents the two people behind them will not be a stupid decision.
After all, to put it bluntly, the "ancient weapon" Pluto, with a total length of 17 kilometers and a volume that is one-half larger than the "golden city" Gran Tezoro that was destroyed in the last battle, is not going to be built. Any force can do it.
If ordinary ambitious people get it, in order to build it, they may cause many tragedies and squeeze many people.
Looking at the sea, there is no doubt that the only one who has the confidence and strength to prevent this from happening is the alliance between the Golden Emperor and Canglong.
After more than a year, the construction of Hades is finally completed!
Grand Line, Century City.
Located at the midpoint of the fourth and fifth routes, a specific permanent record pointer is required to reach the luxury entertainment city Century City. Today we welcomed many guests.
"I have to say, your approach is very bold!"
Looking at the streets with people coming and going, Akainu had no expression on his face and snorted softly.
Since Pluto was too big to hide, Fujitora and Tezzolo announced to the public that it was a new entertainment giant built by two people with financing. There was a precedent in Golden City. In addition to making people lament the two's wealth, outsiders would not Connect it to ancient weapons.
then…
In view of this, the two took advantage of it.
"After Tezolo's death, investors were pessimistic about investment. Even if Admiral Canglong took over Tezolo's assets, they believed that the navy and the Golden Emperor were different... Now that the construction is completed, it is time for them to see it with their own eyes. Look, solid investment willingness.”
"There will be times when we will need them later."
Hearing this, Fujitora opened his cloudy eyes and smiled.
"Of course, externally they only know that the main body has been completed, but the facilities above are not perfect and cannot be put into use for the time being... But we ourselves know that this is a battleship and does not need so many luxurious facilities at all."
"This is commercial fraud, Mr. Fujitora!"
Peach Rabbit stood tall and graceful by the fence, looking at the endless sea of people below, and took a deep breath.
"Many of these people are regular patrons of the Golden City, representing the nobles and nobles of various participating and non-franchising countries as well as various forces in the sea... If they cheat their money, even the government will have to weigh the consequences."
They killed their parents by destroying their financial resources. Such a huge investment was wasted. I wonder what kind of revenge they will take.
So shouldn’t your focus be on me committing commercial fraud
Is this also called the Navy of Justice
Fujitora's mouth twitched as he explained.
"We set up an investment quota. Except for the forces on the list, the amount of investment that others can make is limited, and it will not hurt their bones... Of course, it is top secret internally, and they do not know each other."
"List?"
Akainu looked at Ron strangely: "What list?"
"A list of people who threaten us, such as some secretive pirate associations and unruly black marketeers..."
Ron chuckled.
"Their investment is indeed very huge, accounting for more than 30% of the total investment. They want to make a fortune through fire and water, but they have no capital to resist!"
Speaking of this, Ron sighed.
"The stock market is risky, so you need to be cautious when entering the industry!"
Akainu and Momotu: “…”
As expected of Navy Soryu!
Cruel enough!
Since ancient times, wealth has attracted people's hearts. If this giant ship is really a mobile luxury entertainment city like the Golden City, you can imagine the benefits it can bring to everyone every year when the Golden City is destroyed.
The opportunity is right in front of us. With the temperament of pirates and black marketeers, they must make a lot of money by eating their mouths full of oil.
For this reason, he will do whatever it takes to lose his fortune.
But the result…
It just proves with its own blood and tears that in the melting pot of capital, retail investors are exploited long-haired sheep.
"Besides, after all, I am also a Shichibukai, so I can plunder legally!"
Speaking of this, Fujitora laughed at himself: "It's just that instead of plundering by force, I switched to plundering by trade."
"By the way, if time goes by, they will become suspicious, and Century City may encounter some trouble... None of me is a damned sinner. At that time, please ask Marshal Akainu for more help."
In response, Akainu looked up at him, pondered for a moment and then said.
"You don't need to tell me that I will do that, but I must not be a criminal!"
"If there was... you know what I would do, 'Fujitora' smile."
"That's natural!"
After receiving Akainu's personal promise, Fujitora breathed a sigh of relief and solemnly promised.
"If someone commits a crime, I will personally send him to the Navy Headquarters to serve his sentence!"
"Huh, that's best!"
Seeing that the two had reached an agreement, Ron clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention and said, "Okay, now that we've finished talking, let's leave."
"As a marshal, it's unreasonable for you to come here instead of sitting in the headquarters, and you can't pretend to be external."
Noticing Akainu's twitching eyes, Ron turned back decisively.
"Lieutenant General Peach Rabbit, where are our surveillance troops?"
"It should be arriving soon... Oh, look at that, it's just arrived."
There was a commotion from the direction of the port. A group of female soldiers, led by a tall and strong woman, pushed through the bustling crowd and rushed towards the central area of Century City.
Anyone who takes a look at it will see that it’s someone with bad intentions!
"Then you go over and give me some instructions. Remember, you can find trouble even if there is nothing wrong with you."
Momo Usagi smiled when he heard this and looked at Fujitora with pity.
"Don't worry, being unreasonable and so on... is the strength of us women!"
Ron, Akainu, and Fujitora: "..."
((-_-)-_-)-_-)
…
Holy Land, Marie Gioia.
The bearded Five Old Star put down the information at hand and glanced at the rest of his colleagues: "In the end, was he fooled in the end?"
What is recorded above is the news of the successful conclusion of the Century City Ship Trial Conference. Although even Marshal Akainu showed up, under Fujitora's clean handling, the navy still failed.
In response, the five old stars of the Mediterranean shrugged.
"There's nothing we can do about it. We also know Fujitora's behavior. His reputation as a benevolent hero is known to the whole world. It's normal to find no tricks... You can't convict someone just because he built a big ship."
At this point, he sighed.
"It's just that without Tezzolo and Golden City, now there is Fujitora and Century City... We may have underestimated the power of capital before."
"Fortunately, the person behind Fujitora is Ron, and the one who took over Tezzolo's assets is also Ron... Even though that kid doesn't like us and does such a treacherous thing, he has always been in the same camp as us and is supported by the government. By."
"After all, he is also an honorable noble, an existence recognized by the Lord. He and the government exist both for glory and loss... With his wisdom, he will not cross the bottom line."
"That's right."
Seeing that his colleagues quickly put aside the matter, the bearded Five Old Star frowned silently.
Really, so simple
Why do I always feel uneasy
At this time, the five-old star with blond hair and golden beard looked at him with a wine glass and said: "By the way, have you found any trace of Neptune?"
"not yet."
Maybe this is what makes me uneasy
The long-bearded Wulaoxing shook his head and replied: "I have sent CP0 to expand the search range for the third time, and still no trace of White Star has been found."
"As expected... It seems that we must start from the numbers left by Qing Pheasant. I hope it is some useful information."
Thinking of Aokiji, who was still lying in the hospital bed and was still in danger, and the terrifying power of Neptune that was implied behind it, the five old stars were silent for a while.
