One Piece: Fist of the World

"The textile machines improved by Gray and his team have not yet been mass-produced, but textile companies have already been opened on the islands we occupied, especially on the poor islands."

Bakara also reported on his work.

According to Rhode's idea, the manpower of these islands is also an important resource. After occupying these islands, we must find ways to solve their employment problems and make full use of these human resources.

And only after these people make money can they have money to pay the annual security costs.

Not only that, when the people on these occupied islands all have jobs and their lives gradually become richer, the funds can flow fully and generate greater value.

Rhode doesn't need to teach this truth, Bakara also knows it.

Hearing this, Rhode nodded.

Although these countries have been planted with Rhode's flags, they are only temporarily compromised because they are afraid of strong fists.

No king wants other rulers to appear above him.

Once Rhode's group shows a decline, these countries will immediately turn against him.

Only interests can bind them tightly around them.

When the textile factories opened by Rhodes and his gang spread across these countries, when more than 50% of the citizens of these countries worked for Rhodes and lived on the wages paid by Rhodes, and their lives were also protected by Rhodes' security company.

Then, who can tell who is their king!

"Not only the textile factories, but also the industries on Mordick Island will be split up later, and some unimportant and simple jobs will be assigned to these countries to complete, so that they can have more diverse job opportunities."

Rhodes added.

"Besides, Liluka is a fashion designer, right? We should not only get involved in the textile industry, but also the clothing industry. Not only that, we should see if there are any places nearby that are suitable for cotton growth. We should have the entire industrial chain in our hands."

Robin took out a notebook to write down Rhodes' requirements, and prepared to organize the various intelligence collected later and find an island suitable for planting.

"If it is planting, we can help!"

The representative of the dwarf tribe, Leo, said with a proud expression on his face.

"We, the Tontata tribe, are best at taking care of plants. There are no plants in this world that we cannot take care of. Leave the matters of plant cultivation to us!"

"Of course, I will not forget you."

Rod looked at Leo opposite him. Although the Tontata tribe's captain was small, his strength was not weak at all. He was also a devil fruit ability user. With them, the defense of Greenbit Island could be well guaranteed.

"Ah, is it my turn to report?"

Brooke pointed at himself, then put down the milk in his hand and adjusted his hat.

"Although I don't know Captain Rod's intention, I have indeed held 32 concerts on these islands."

Unlike the others, Brook's task was only to hold concerts.

With the strong support of Tezoro, every concert was very successful. Brook was already a superstar in these occupied islands.

Especially in the four poor countries, Brook's name was almost known to everyone.

"Very good, keep it up!"

Music has a magical power that can transcend nationality and race and bring everyone together.

Every concert of Brook is a positive publicity for the Rod Pirates.

This is also a manifestation of their soft power.

"The portal is running stably."

Kosha can finally speak straight.

Captain Rod gave him the [Door Door Fruit] at the beginning, hoping that he could open the portal to Sky Island at any time.

To this day, this goal has not been achieved.

Especially after entering the New World, the distance between Sky Island and Kosha is already unknown. He can't see the hope of opening the door to Sky Island.

Fortunately, after such a long period of training, his fruit ability has finally made new progress.

In the past month, he has built portals that can connect to Green Bit on all the islands he has set foot on.

And it is permanent.

Although the portal is not large and has transmission restrictions, it cannot be used as a regular freight channel, but it is already very remarkable. At least people can go back and forth through the portal.

After continuous testing during this period of time, the portal is running stably and has never made any mistakes.

In this world, islands are separated by vast seas, especially in the New World, where there are all kinds of bad weather. Even if it is between two adjacent islands, it takes about a day to sail there.

This is also the reason why the level of science and technology between many islands in this world is so different.

And this inconvenience has also brought great inconvenience to the rule of various forces.

Now, Rhodes and his group have Kosa's portal. Let's not talk about anything else for now. Just the cadres of Rhodes Pirates can support various islands at any time through the portal, which has surpassed most forces.

"Good boy, I know you won't let me down."

Rhodes' eyes light up slightly.

When they expand their power in the future, they will first drive away some pirates to invade, and then the security company will come forward to drive away the pirates, and sign a security agreement with the country with the momentum of victory. After the agreement is reached, the factory will be settled in to provide jobs for the unemployed, and then Brook will come to hold a concert to further enhance their sense of identity. Kosha will build a portal as soon as possible so that the people of the Rhodes Pirates can come through the portal at any time.

After such a set of combined punches, this country should be completely transformed into the shape of Rhodes.

After listening to Kosha's report, Rhodes continued to look at the other people.

Webber ate the [Snow Snow Fruit] and became the second natural ability user. This month, he has been thinking about the ability of the devil fruit, hoping that he will not be easily killed in future actions.

Liluka's doll soldiers were once again wiped out in the previous battle with Cracker. This month, he has been busy doing handwork and replenishing his inventory.

After Franky joined, he has been hanging out with Gray. The two of them have been doing various research together. They didn't see any new warships, but his body has been transformed again. He has grown a lot bigger. After using Gray's new materials, his body is much stronger than before.

Baby-5, as the only survivor of the Donquixote family, became the head maid of Rhodes's group. Occasionally, she would cooperate with Gray to do some research, and she would cover her face and giggle from time to time.

"Nero, you must speed up the training and training of those who have just been recruited, and focus on those who have potential."

Thinking of the devil fruits in his own inventory, Rhodes quickly gave Nero an order.

Most of the members of the Donquixote family are devil fruit users, and the current Rhodes Pirates already have a lot of devil fruit inventory.

However, most of the partners in the team are already users with abilities, and the remaining people have no intention of becoming users with abilities, so the devil fruits on hand are a bit excessive.

It is necessary to select the right people from the newly recruited members as soon as possible, and reward them with devil fruits after they have made enough contributions, so that the fruits can be used to their full potential.

"I know!"

Neilu nodded. Thinking of the devil fruits in stock, he couldn't help but look forward to the new members.

Most of the former owners of these devil fruits have good strength. If some powerful characters can be recruited among the members and then eat devil fruits, the overall strength of the Rod Pirates will be improved again.

While Neilu was fantasizing, he silently calculated the gap between the Rod Pirates and the Four Emperors in his heart.

In terms of power, the Rod Pirates now rule 15 countries, which is considered huge even in the New World.

In terms of strength, Rod, as the captain, can already fight Kaido head-on without losing the upper hand, and is fully qualified to become one of the Four Emperors.

As for the other members, Pekin, Xiaqi, Gray, Nia, Genos, Bonis, Minina, and Liluka all have their own strengths, and they can stand up to the leaders of the Four Emperors.

With this calculation, the gap seems to be here!

In terms of top strength, they can be equal, and in terms of the strength comparison of general leaders, the Rhodes Pirates also have an advantage.

On the contrary, it is the level of big leaders between the captain and the general leaders.

The three big leaders of the Beast Pirates and the three dessert stars of the Big Mom Pirates, each of these big leaders has far more power than ordinary people. I can't even completely defeat Jack the Drought, let alone the other two big leaders who are above him.

And Cracker of the Big Mom Pirates, I also failed to keep him in the previous battle, and Katakuri can completely suppress me.

Thinking of this, Neru felt a sense of urgency in his heart again.

He must continue to get stronger, and get stronger faster, so that he can help Rhodes reach the top!

Maybe they thought of the same thing, Luo suddenly turned around and looked at Neilu.

The short round table meeting ended quickly. The partners who were originally busy with their own things finally knew the general situation of their families. They were all full of energy and continued to work energetically.

After the meeting, Rhodes, Neilu and Luo did not leave directly, but opened the side door and entered a slightly smaller room.

"Do you still have to be so secretive?"

In the room, a man raised his head and stood up to show respect when Rhodes entered the door, and then the four people sat down one by one.

"I have seen the report in the newspaper. The four emperors were all repelled by you head-on. Now there is no need to hide the relationship between us anymore."

Tezoro poured a glass of wine for Rhodes and pushed it to him, then poured a glass for Neilu and Luo, and finally picked up the glass himself.

When he first saw the report, he thought he saw fake news.

Although he was full of confidence in Rhodes and had bet everything on him when he was in Lavis, he did not expect that Rhodes would grow so fast.

In less than a year, he was already able to face the Four Emperors head-on.

And he had just heard the conversation outside clearly in the next room. Based on the materials Rhodes prepared for him in advance, he also had a clear understanding of the current strength of the Rhodes Pirates.

This can definitely be called the Fifth Emperor!

Big News Morgans' report is still too conservative!

"Some necessary caution is still very important."

Rod shook the red wine in the glass.

Until now, he still doesn't like the taste of red wine, and still prefers beer.

However, in this atmosphere, it seems that the red wine is more sensible to shake.

"I am still a Shichibukai now. Exposing the relationship between you and me will only provoke the nerves of the World Government. It would be bad if I were deprived of my status as a Shichibukai. This identity is still very important to me now. At least I have to wait until I have completely digested the current results of the war."

"Really cautious, I am more optimistic about our future!"

A trace of deep malice flashed across Tesoro's face, and he looked forward to the future of overthrowing the Celestial Dragons.

"So, you called me here specially, is there something important to tell me?"

Tesoro put down the wine glass in his hand, and his face became a little more serious.

Since his Grand Tesoro officially opened last year, it can be said that it is making a fortune every day. As the world's largest entertainment city, there are countless things that need him to deal with every day.

And he also relied on the popularity of Grand Tesoro to officially become the world's richest man, and controlled more than 20% of the world's Bailey.

Even the power of the Gold-Gold Fruit seemed to become stronger because of the increase in his wealth!

"My identity is more sensitive now. The World Government should focus on guarding against me. Many things cannot be done. You must help."

When he showed the power to fight the Four Emperors head-on and had many powerful partners, this scene was destined to happen.

The World Government needs the Seven Warlords to contain the Four Emperors and achieve the balance of the world, rather than cultivating the Seven Warlords into a behemoth that is more terrifying than the Four Emperors.

Now the World Government can maintain restraint and not make a move on Rhodes, which is already very concerned about the overall situation.

It is a bit unrealistic to want them to agree to the request made by the Rhodes Pirates again.

"What is it?"

"Punk Hazard!"

Rhodes looked at Tesoro and made his request.

"I heard that after being recruited by the World Government, Vegapunk continued his research on an island called Punk Hazard."

"This island is not on any pointer record, and it is impossible to sail there by conventional means."

"I want to know how to get to that island!"

"You really gave me a big problem."

Tezoro stroked the ring on his finger, thinking about all the information he had collected.

This is the first time he has heard of the island of Punk Hazard, but from what Rhodes said, this island is not simple. It is probably a top-secret area of ​​the World Government. It is not easy to get to this island.

"But I will find a way as soon as possible."

Tezoro smiled widely.

"After all, money can make the world go round!"
