The Black Throne of One Piece

When Barr changed from the snowstorm form back to the normal human form again, he had already returned to the gate of the base camp in his territory. As soon as he came back, all the subordinates in the base camp ran out happily to welcome his return.

Seeing this, some passers-by nearby rushed to tell each other the news of Barr's return to Area B.

Soon, a large number of civilians came to the base camp to find out, all of them showed surprise expressions on their faces, saluted Barr respectfully and said, "Lord Barr."

After more than two months of strict rule by Barr over the site, District B has completely become the safest place in the slums, and the economy is also the best. With prosperity.

This is all due to the fact that the order in Area B is good enough. With Barr and his powerful men maintaining order, it is very safe. This makes many insecure people in the city willing to move here, and the number of entrances here continues to increase. Promote the development of the local construction industry, real estate industry and various service industries.

In addition, Williams' Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce will optimize and transform various industries in District B, which has greatly improved the service level of various industries here, enhanced their competitiveness, and made consumers in the city like to come here for consumption.

In addition, the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce has established many factories in District B that require a large number of workers, such as garment factories, and a huge briquette manufacturing plant, which makes the employment rate in District B very high, which greatly promotes the local economic development. Several orphanages were built in Barr's name.

Finally, Baal's protection fees are relatively low, making many businesses in the city very willing to set up shop in this safe and economically vibrant place.

All in all, District B is now well-organized by Barr, and everything is developing in a good direction, allowing people living here to see the hope of living and working in peace and contentment.

However, people living here know that the reason why District B has become so good is entirely because of the appearance of Barr.

He ruled this area with absolute force, deterring all demons and ghosts in the territory, but at the same time he did not act recklessly against the people in the territory, and carried out a relatively loose rule.

Therefore, Barr's reputation in the territory is very high, and it can be said that he is deeply loved by ordinary people.

Now the news that Barr has become a natural-type devil fruit capable user has spread in Area B, and the people living here are undoubtedly very happy about this news.

Because they all think that Barr is a rule-based ruler who will take the initiative to protect their lives and property, and is very close to the people personally. The stronger he is, the safer they will be. Of course they are happy.

In this troubled world, it is definitely a very lucky thing to be protected by a well-mannered strong man.

Of course Barr was happy that he was so popular.

In fact, he didn't do a lot of things, he just issued a few rules of his own, disposed of some garbage in the site that didn't follow his rules, and then reduced the protection fee a little, so he became a shopkeeper.

All kinds of trivial matters that usually happen on the site are basically handled by Bafina. When Barr found out that this young and beautiful female gunman has the potential to be a secretary, he handed over most of the trivial matters to her. In return, he would set aside part of his time every day to teach her how to use various firearms.

Although he didn't do much on the site as a hands-off shopkeeper, Barr was still very aware of his importance here.

With him here, the place will be so orderly for the time being. Once he is gone, there will be no one who can stay here, and the place will soon return to its original appearance.

"The reputation is considered successful, and it will be much easier to clean up in the future."

Barr felt that most of the people around him were grateful and respected him from the bottom of his heart, and nodded in satisfaction.

Afterwards, he smiled kindly at the people, said a few nice words, and then used Xuexueguo's ability to create a beautiful snow sculpture, and then entered his base camp.

Be a gangster forever?

Of course, it was impossible for Barr to do this. Joining the gang was only his first step. Once he successfully gained a foothold in the city, he would try to gain the officially recognized right to rule.

However, how weak the official power of Drum Kingdom is, it is recognized by the world government after all. It is backed by the world government and the navy, and the people living here also have a sense of identity with this country. It is impossible to get on the stage.

If Barr wants to make a difference in this country in the future and use the power of this country to do things for himself, he must obtain officially recognized ruling power, so whitewashing is a must.

Therefore, in the past six months in the Vilia port, Barr has never killed any innocent civilians except for the fights between gangsters, and even took action to protect the civilians, making himself a very positive image among the people.

In addition, after obtaining the territory, he has fought crimes, worked hard to maintain law and order, vigorously developed the local economy, and got along with the people friendly from time to time. Now he has a high prestige in the port of Vilia. He is not like a gangster at all, but like a gangster. A benevolent knight.

Also, in order to make friends with Gilbert, the real ruler of Vilia Port, Barr also asked Williams to regularly send him some rare treasures bought from other countries, and to avoid tax evasion, and even Pay an extra tax.

Gilbert was therefore very impressed with him.

Good popularity, the appreciation of the ruler, and his own strong strength are all the capital for him to whitewash his identity in the future.

And Barr knows that there is a good opportunity now. The news that he has obtained the Xuexue fruit must not be hidden from the city lord Gilbert. This ambitious man who has the dream of becoming the ruler of the Magnetic Drum Kingdom will never let go of any point easily. It can be a bargaining chip for him to win in the next war.

He is now a devil fruit user of the natural department, and the ability he possesses can still play a huge role in the winter island of the Drum Kingdom. If he can assist Gilbert, Gilbert's chances of winning the next war are certain. It will improve a lot.

In fact, just joining Gilbert's camp as a natural-type devil fruit ability user might be able to deal a considerable blow to the opponent's morale.

 …

Barr entered his base camp, and he returned to his office. Bafina, who was signing a lot of documents inside, looked at Barr with a bitter face, hoping that Barr could help him share some work.

With the influx of a large number of people in District B, various personnel conflicts have also increased rapidly, and there are no official forces in the slums, and can only be dealt with by Barr's forces, so there are usually a lot of crap that Barr will deal with .

Where did Barr have time to deal with these matters, of course all of them were left to Bafina, a good secretary.

Barr turned a blind eye to Bafina's hint, just smiled at her, and then lay down on the sofa to rest. He had been busy all day today, and was almost killed by Reggie just now. Even though he was physically strong, his spirit was abnormal exhausted.

But he couldn't stay idle after all. Not long after he sat down, Huma and Williams came with smiles on their faces, and Williams was holding an invitation card in his hand.

"Don't tell me, let me guess, this should be an invitation from Gilbert, right?"

Barr noticed the invitation card in Williams' hand and said with a smile as well.

What surprised Barr was that Huma and Williams shook their heads at the same time, expressing that they had guessed wrong, which immediately aroused strong curiosity in him.

In the next second, Williams smiled and handed the exquisite gold-plated invitation card to Barr without saying a word.

Baer took it over and looked at it, as if he found something very interesting, he immediately laughed out loud.

Seeing this, Huma and Williams also laughed out loud, with excited expressions on their faces.

Bafina in the room saw that the three of them were laughing, and she didn't know why, so she immediately went to Barr's identity.

Barr didn't treat Bafina, a good subordinate who worked hard, as an outsider, and let her see it openly.

Bafina looked at the invitation in Barr's hand, and her pretty face suddenly showed surprise, because the one in Barr's hand who sent the invitation was actually His Majesty Gresham, the current king of the Drum Kingdom.
