From Pirates to Sweeping the Worlds

Elite talents from various industries are recruited.

However, it is hard to leave one’s hometown, which is true wherever you are.

Not everyone wants to leave their hometown and start a new life.

Xia Jieren did not force it.

After careful selection, the Kingdom of the Netherlands absorbed nearly 60 high-quality citizens.

In addition, Xia Jieren also dispatched a large number of worker bees to carry out large-scale mining of mineral resources within the three countries, and harvested a total of about 10 million tons of various minerals.

One can imagine the resentment in the hearts of the Three Kingdoms' nobles as they looked at the declining industries in their country, the empty mines, and the treasury that was only big enough to run horses.

No matter how they complained and complained, the Kingdom of the Netherlands ignored them.

Not only that, the Kingdom of the Netherlands also kindly reminded them not to forget the 10 billion berries they would need to pay in compensation next year.

This made the powerful people of the Three Kingdoms even more furious.

After going crazy, they could only helplessly start cleaning up the mess at home.

......

Today, only one in ten of the Three Kingdoms’ powerful nobles remain.

As the number of carnivores decreases, new carnivores will surely emerge and join the group.

As a result, many people within the Three Kingdoms began to gain power.

These people occupy a large number of grassroots units, and orders from superiors must be executed through them.

And most of these people are insect people.

Thanks to the chaotic population management system within the Three Kingdoms, the insect people had the opportunity to take advantage.

But this is far from the end. In the future, they will rely on their own abilities to climb to higher positions and finally take complete control of the entire country.

After leaving a backup plan, Xia Jieren no longer paid attention to what was happening here.

In the West Sea, a fierce conflict has just ended.

The revolutionary army led by Monkey D. Dragon successfully overthrew a national regime here, causing great shock to the World Government.

After receiving the news, the World Government responded quickly and dispatched a large and powerful fleet, whose formation was comparable to the Demon Slayer Order, determined to wipe out the Revolutionary Army in one fell swoop.

The operation was led by the newly promoted Navy Admiral Kizaru Borsalino.

Relying on his outstanding command ability and strong strength, he quickly launched a fierce attack on the revolutionary army.

Under the leadership of Admiral Kizaru, the naval fleet broke through the positions of the Revolutionary Army one by one like a whirlwind.

Faced with such a powerful enemy, although Long and other revolutionary army leaders such as Ivankov fought hard, they were ultimately unable to reverse the situation.

After paying a heavy price of tens of thousands of lives, Long had to lead the remaining revolutionary army to retreat and escape from the West Sea battlefield.

The battle became a fierce contest between the World Government and the Revolutionary Army.

After that, everyone became more vigilant against the revolutionary army.

Putting down the newspaper, Xia Jieren murmured, "It seems that the revolutionary army has also begun to enter the stage of history."

"Monkey D. Dragon...the father of the Destiny Child, Monkey D. Luffy."

Afterwards, Xia Jieren smiled and said, "So what? I will be the one who laughs last."

When saying this, Xia Jieren was full of confidence.

Turning to the next page of the newspaper, Xia Jieren saw another familiar name: "Tom Studio."

"Huh~, I didn't expect that the sea train researched by Tom's studio has made initial progress."

"The first Sea Train prototype ever built - Rocket Man."

"Isn't this the sea train that took Luffy and others to the Judicial Island in the Judicial Island arc? I didn't expect it to be built now."

"It seems that Tom is not far from death." Xia Jieren touched his chin and muttered.

In the original novel, it seems that Tom was framed and killed by Spandam shortly after he developed the sea train.

"Looks like I have to hurry!" Xia Jieren felt a sense of urgency in his heart.

He was very envious of the technology of the sea train.

Although the Kingdom of the Netherlands has strong capabilities in researching and manufacturing trains, it is far inferior to Tom who has the Pluto blueprints.

How to make the rails float on the sea and how to make the train make sounds that are annoying to the sea kings while running are difficult problems to solve.

The former can be solved by the Kingdom of the Netherlands by making lighter alloys, and the latter can be solved by releasing a wave of annoying sea king-like creatures.

But how should I put it...the trains and tracks they built are very...weird.

Yes! It can only be described as weird.

It seems that the sense of separation from the pirate world is very serious.

There is nothing we can do about it. I don’t know why the things developed by the Zerg do not seem to have any aesthetic appeal in the eyes of ordinary people.

Therefore, when it comes to technological research and development, Xia Jieren usually focuses on the Zerg, and the Zerg only provide computing power.

Based on this, Xia Jieren wanted to obtain ready-made sea train technology to reduce the research and development work of the insect people.

Xia Jieren came to the Heart Network and directly ordered: "Kerrigan, contact Marcus and ask him to see if he can get the sea train technology."

"Yes, Lord." Kerrigan responded directly.

After a moment, Xia Jieren received a reply from Marcus.

According to Marcus, the Umbrella Group under his jurisdiction has close cooperation with the Seven Waters, and Tom has also helped the Umbrella Group build merchant ships to earn research funds.

Hearing this, Xia Jieren was speechless.

He complained in his mind: "The World Government is really stingy. They allowed Tom to research the Sea Train but didn't provide any funding. In the end, he just took the results for free."

Researching sea trains is Tom's dream and also his life-saving money.

Once upon a time, Tom helped the Pirate King Roger build a pirate ship, and he was convicted for it.

After negotiations with the World Government, he was given a chance to atone for his sins.

That is to study sea trains.

Thinking of this, Xia Jieren couldn't help but feel a little worried: "By the way, Tom should be able to sell the sea train technology."

"After all, his original intention in developing the sea train was to make the Seven Waters City prosperous again."

"If that doesn't work, let the Umbrella Group increase its investment in the Seven Waters."

After thinking about it for a while, Xia Jieren waited quietly.

In any case, we will probably know the result in three days.

As soon as Marcus received Xia Jieren's order, he arranged the work at hand and went to the Seven Water City in person.

He planned to talk to Tom in person.

The large merchant ship that Marcus was on was heading towards the Seven Water City according to the guidance of the Eternal Compass.

Severe weather at sea, such as storms, tornadoes, tsunamis, and hurricanes, came one after another.

The Grand Route is worthy of being the Grand Route, with bad weather coming one after another.

Only when we got closer to the island did the weather gradually calm down.

Three days later, Marcus looked at the Seven Water City at the end of his sight and breathed a sigh of relief.

The Seven Waters City at this time seemed very desolate compared to more than ten years later.

This place is famous for its shipbuilding industry, but since the beginning of the Great Pirate Age, countless pirates have poured into the Grand Line, seriously hindering the trade between the Seven Water Capitals and other islands.

The most serious problem is the decline of timber trade.

Make bricks without straw!
