Taoist priest, who is so popular in One Piece

To this day, Luffy has also met people who rejected his invitations during his travels, such as the uncle in the treasure chest.

Among these people, only Vivi accepted the invitation and was recognized as a partner by the Straw Hat Pirates, but did not board the ship.

At the port of Alabasta, when Vivi said goodbye to the Straw Hat Pirates, she said:

[Luffy! You want to be the Pirate King, right?]

[If I become the king of this country, I will be able to help you better, Luffy. ]

And now, Weiwei seems to be able to fulfill her promise.

-

On the island, Vivi, wearing the clothes she had worn on the Merry, looked at the familiar people in front of her and couldn't help but have tears in her eyes.

"Long time no see, everyone!"

"Vivi~" Nami was the first to rush forward and hug Vivi. They were once the best sisters on the Merry.

Sanji, sitting in a wheelchair, was very excited and wanted to hug Vivi, but was held down by Bai Ye.

The two of them also quickly greeted Weiwei.

The cold Zoro smiled, and Chopper was held in Vivi's arms.

As for Robin, Vivi forgave him as early as in Alabasta when Robin chose to help the Straw Hat Pirates.

Then, Luffy introduced the other partners to Vivi one by one with excitement and pride.

Of course, this is actually completely unnecessary. After all, Vivi always pays 100% attention to the Straw Hat Pirates.

So everyone quickly became familiar with each other.

It is worth mentioning that when Brook asked Vivi about panties in a very gentlemanly manner, he was jointly punished by Nami and Robin.

-

There is a reason why Vivi wants to meet everyone. In addition to reuniting with her old partners, the more important thing is to express gratitude to the Straw Hat Pirates on behalf of Starfire.

In Morgans' messy press release, there is one thing that is correct: the establishment of [Starfire] is indeed closely related to the Straw Hat Pirates.

It can even be said that the Straw Hat Pirates are the "boss" behind [Starfire].

The initial idea of ​​Spark came from the conversation Bai Ye had with Long on the island before.

Afterwards, during the five months in the Rainbow Mist World, which is one month in the outside world, Long was gradually perfecting his plan through discussions with Bai Ye.

As for why Weiwei eventually took the dominant position, it was Long's own choice.

The identity of the revolutionary army is too special and his image is not positive.

And Alabasta, which has already risen, is the best ally.

It just so happened that Vivi had already had the idea of ​​leaving the World Government and even confronting it, so the two sides immediately hit it off.

It was also because of Vivi's endorsement that the Revolutionary Army was able to convince nearly a hundred non-member countries to join in a short period of time.

In addition to this, the Straw Hat Pirates also provided other assistance to Starfire.

First of all, for the newly established regime of [Spark], if it wants to gain a foothold in the first place, military strength is the primary prerequisite.

The basic pills developed by Chopper combined with alchemy have, to a certain extent, completely changed the way wars are fought.

After all, the navy can't suddenly take drugs to recover health while fighting.

The Liaoyuan Army can.

The navy cannot take drugs to buff itself and enhance its combat effectiveness before the war begins.

The Liaoyuan Army can.

The basic pill developed by Chopper also made Kuleha, who had already joined Starfire, very pleased.

For this reason, Kuleha asked Vivi to tell Chopper:

"You're finally starting to stand on your own, silly son."

This simple sentence made Chopper a little defensive.

In addition to the alchemy system, Franky also provided support to Spark in the military field.

That's right, Franky provided Starfire with a [Robot Manufacturing Factory].

Of course, this cannot be compared to what the Straw Hat Pirates themselves have.

The robots created not only do not have the strength of the Straw Hat Robot Corps, but they also do not have that kind of intelligence.

The only advantage is that the output is extremely considerable.

But it is a force more suitable for supplementing the Spark's combat power.

After all, for the current Spark, what it needs most is not elite troops that can win a large-scale war, but soldiers who can defend the territory to the greatest extent.

In addition to the robot manufacturing factory, Franky also gave some battleship improvement technologies to Iceberg.

The latter also used his own Carrera company to develop better warships for the Liaoyuan Army.

Finally, Bai Ye used magic circles and rainbow mist to establish the first line of defense on the territory of Starfire, which can be regarded as an alternative form of military assistance.

It can be said that because of the help of the Straw Hat Pirates, [Starfire] was able to force the World Government to choose to fight a protracted war.

In addition to the military aspect, there is another key aspect if you want a regime to develop better.

That's the economic issue.

For reasons that are well known to all, in this ocean, 99.999% of the non-member countries are poor islands that cannot afford to pay the heavenly gold.

The remaining 0.001% are existences that even the World Government is unwilling to provoke easily, such as Wano Country and Elbaf in the New World.

Those poor islands choose to join Spark, not only to get protection, but also to live a better life with the help of Spark.

For the stability and future of Spark, helping these countries is naturally a top priority, but this also means that a lot of funds are needed in the early stages.

As for the issue of funding, Bai Ye said that owning a small world really allows one to do whatever he wants.

What’s interesting is that after seeing the treasure that Bai Ye gave, which filled an entire island, Long was stunned for a full half an hour.

According to Bai Ye's guess, Long's mentality at the time should be like this: "I, Old Long, have never fought such a rich battle in my life."

It is precisely because of these funds that Xinghuo has the confidence to swallow up nearly a hundred non-member countries in one go.

You know, there are many islands here that are only the size of towns and villages.

In addition to funding, Robin, who once lived in O'Hara, also provided Spark with some economic development references.

Franky and Usopp have worked together to create many inventions, such as more advanced agricultural and mining tools.

This will at least enable those islands to achieve the goal of self-sufficiency in the shortest possible time.

"Vice Chairman Long and I have already explained to the councillors in detail how the Straw Hat Pirates helped Starfire at the committee meeting."

Weiwei smiled at the Straw Hat Pirates and continued:

"So, by a unanimous vote of the committee—"

"The Straw Hat Adventurers will always be Spark's best friend, and will also be the only adventurer group in the Adventurer's Association with a Honor rating."

"Maybe the Spark is still very weak now, but I promise you as the first chairman of the Spark."

"In your future battles with the World Government and the Navy, Spark and the Prairie Army will be your most loyal allies."
