One Piece Fighting for Hegemony from Sharingan

Chapter 149 Grabbing money is too slow!
In the first half of the great route, an empty island [-] meters above Gaya Island.

Through the positioning in the sea of ​​stars, Leon discovered that Zefa's location is currently near the Chambord Islands.

So, relying on the teleportation array between Daughter Island and Sky Island, he returned to the first half of the great route in just an instant.

Leon and Joan of Arc walked out of the star-gathered teleportation array.

The Sky Island soldiers stationed outside the teleportation array were shocked, but after seeing Leon's face clearly, they all saluted, their faces full of fanaticism and admiration.

"See Your Majesty! Do you need to inform the three consuls about your arrival?"

The three consuls mentioned by these Sky Island soldiers are: Weber, Ganfort, and Urki.

The three of them represent the three forces of the Sandia, the Sky Islanders, and the Sky Island Legion respectively.

The status of the three consuls is the same, and under mutual checks and balances, it is also possible to avoid the dominance of one family with too concentrated power.

"No, I'll take a look around first." Leon waved his hand.

Since there is no rush to find Zefa, Leon plans to take a casual look on the empty island first.

Today, Apayado Island is no longer a closed and deserted holy place, and many Sandias and Sky Islanders live here together.

Instead of the exploitation and oppression during the brutal rule of Anel, it was replaced by reasonable taxes and relatively fair laws, so the life of the residents of Sky Island was much better than before.

Lyon and Joan of Arc strolled along the elegant forest path, looking at the busy or leisurely Sky Island residents in the distance.

Joan looked around curiously, and couldn't help but exclaim:
"The changes here are so great! When we were here last time, it was still full of deserted ruins and forests."

"It seems that the three of them managed the sky island well!" Leon nodded with a smile.

Not long after, Leon met the three consuls who managed Sky Island in the newly built palace on the island.

"Meet Your Majesty!"

Weber, Ganfort, and Urgi bowed and saluted.

Looking at the three people who had changed a lot, Leon nodded.

"You guys have done a great job recently! I've walked along the way and found that the lives of Sky Island residents are much better than before."

Having said that, Leon looked at Urki.

"How is the preparation of the Air Island Legion now?"

With a smile on his face, Urgi said loudly:

"The Sky Island Legion is currently full. There are 500 Sky Island fighters and 500 Sandia fighters. They are all brave and powerful elites. They are ready to fight for His Majesty at any time!"

"very good!"

Leon nodded with satisfaction.After all, Sky Island has limited resources and population. Under the premise of only accepting elites, it is already very good to be able to recruit 1000 people.

Leon turned to look at Ganfort again.

"What's going on with the construction of Ark Proverbs?"

The Proverbs of the Ark, a flying battleship that can be driven by the ability of the thunder fruit, is a surprise specially prepared by Leon for Hancock.

In the original plot, the reason why Enilo took six years to successfully build the Ark Proverbs.

One is to prepare for mining enough gold.

The second is because of the technical reasons of the electric motor.

Ganfur stroked his beard, smiled and said:
"With the electric engine technology provided by Your Majesty, our biggest technical problem has been solved. The next gold mining and ship assembly will take about two years. However, if there is enough gold, this time can be shortened to less than one year. "

"Two years is too long! Enough gold"

Leon frowned slightly.

The gold required to build the Ark of Proverbs is very large.Although Apayardo was once known as the "Golden Town" and has very large reserves of gold, it will take time to mine and utilize it.

Now that Daughter's Island has just gained a foothold in the New World, it urgently needs a strong military force to grow and develop. Time is waiting for no one... Two years of construction time is really too long!
Thinking of this, Leon asked in a deep voice:

"I'll figure out how to deal with the gold. You have to hurry up with the construction of the Ark Proverbs, not only to ensure the speed of construction, but also to ensure the quality of the battleship!"

Gamfor patted his chest and assured loudly:
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty! You eliminated the brutal rule of Enilo, freed us from more than 400 years of war and hatred, and now we have a stable life like this. Even if we work hard, we will successfully complete your account Task!"

Leon nodded and looked at the last Weber.

"How about the special products of Sky Island? It won't be long before Sky Island will be able to trade with Qinghai's New World."

Weber's face was full of excitement of fanatical admiration, and he was the most loyal of the three consuls.

Because Leon's kindness to the Sandia people is too great!

He not only helped the Sandia find the long-lost golden bell, but also fulfilled the long-cherished wish of the Sandia.It also brought the Sandia people back to their hometown of Apayado, where they had been away for more than 400 years!
Hearing Leon's question at this time, Weber replied excitedly and loudly:

"Your Majesty! I have finished summarizing that apart from all kinds of gold products, Sky Island is also rich in empty shells. Sky shells can absorb and release all kinds of energy, and there are many types of empty shells, ranging from living furniture to combat weapons. It's all.

For example, shock shells that can absorb shock, wind shells that can store wind energy, thermal shells that can absorb and store heat energy, lamp shells that can store light energy, and so on.

These empty shells have a wide range of uses, and can greatly strengthen many weapons and even vehicles..."

Leon nodded while listening.

"Very good! You must pay attention to sustainable development when mining empty shells, and you must not exhaust the resources."

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

Webb bowed to his command.Then he thought of something, and added:

"Walpo, the Minister of Environmental Protection who came two days ago, after swallowing a lot of garbage, followed your order and went through many experiments, and finally produced a special alloy."

"Well! This special alloy should be kept safe, I will use it in the future."

Now, except for Leon and the brainwashed Valbo, no one knows that these alloys are extremely rare "Wapo alloys".

Wabo alloy itself has a memory function and can be automatically restored after being damaged. Its hardness and reliability far exceed that of ordinary materials.This alloy will become the most marketable metal with the best properties in Pirate World in the future.

……

Now the development of Sky Island has been on the right track, and it has made a good start in terms of military affairs, people's livelihood, and trade.

Leon never thought of being a pirate in the past, because just plundering other people's wealth cannot last long, and at the same time, it will lose people's hearts.

He established the Star Empire to vigorously develop his own power and then unify the world.

In order to develop and grow in power, in addition to strong military force, it must also have strong financial resources to support it.

In the previous Earth, Leon remembered the painful lessons of the Soviet Union during the Cold War.Even though the two worlds are different, many principles are similar.

In the world of Pirates, if a force only develops force and ignores economy.In the end, it either fell apart, or it could only become a pirate and wander around to plunder, but this was not what Leon wanted.

What is the fastest way to make money in the world?

In addition to printing money and mining, monopoly trade is one of the fastest ways to get money, which is far better than looting without technical content!
Throughout the history of previous lives, the richest people have never been robbers and bandits, but dignitaries who have monopolized key trades.

The empty shells produced exclusively by Sky Island, as well as the Wabo Alloy produced exclusively by Valbo, are the second source of wealth for the Star Empire in the future.

"The speed at which the Star Empire will make money in the future is beyond the imagination of pirates who rely on plunder and have no technical content?"

Leon thought with a smile on his face.
