One Piece: General Xuanming, Defeat the New World

In just a few years, the Chamber of Commerce, which had been in dire straits, came back to life and grew at an unimaginable speed.

By the time the competitors reacted, it was already too late. The once shaky Chamber of Commerce had completely grown into a towering tree.

Up to now, the money earned by this Chamber of Commerce may be enough to equal countless 7 billion Baileys.

This time, the "Holy Shield Chamber of Commerce" was not only patronized by the Celestial Dragons, but was even praised by the Celestial Dragons themselves.

It was because of this news that many people learned that there is a "Holy Shield Chamber of Commerce" in the Sabaody Archipelago.

But it was also because of this news that other chambers of commerce and even capital groups realized that this little-known chamber of commerce would surely soar in the future.

As expected, in the following days, the Holy Shield Chamber of Commerce's turnover doubled and doubled again at an almost impossible speed, and its size expanded dozens of times in just a few months.

Many Chamber of Commerce agents were also secretly inquiring, asking what the Holy Shield Chamber of Commerce was selling and how it had attracted the attention of the Celestial Dragons.

"Tobacco, alcohol, jewelry, and shells from Fishman Island!"

The first sentence obtained has already made countless knowledgeable people break out in cold sweats. To be able to travel between the Sabaody Archipelago and Fishman Island stably, there must be some powerful connections behind it.

Even for an established merchant shipping alliance, a trip to Fishman Island is a risk of death, not to mention having a stable source of goods.

As the investigation continued, the business model of the "Holy Shield Chamber of Commerce" was soon exposed to the public.

Jewelry and shells are the main luxury items sold together with tobacco and alcohol. Other deep-sea fish oil, fish bones and corals are also sold.

The "Heart of the Dragon" series purchased by the Dragon Man Carlos St. is composed of eighty-one rare deep-sea pearls in the world, inlaid on crystal clear shells.

This set of luxury goods alone was sold for a whopping price of 6.6666 billion Baileys.

You know, the translucent and crystal shell alone is already priceless. In addition, the strange patterns on the shell and its huge size of nearly one square meter make it impossible to tell how many hundreds of years it would take for it to be formed naturally.

Together with those pearls, the eighty-one pearls perfectly present the color gradient from light purple to dark purple. The pearl series with gradually changing colors in the same color series is a rare treasure.

The "Heart of the Dragon" series of pearl and shell combinations are only sold to the Dragon people. Each piece is a unique rare treasure and needs to be ordered three months in advance to receive the goods.

The next-level "Heart of the Ocean" and "Heart of the Mermaid" series of pearls are aimed at government officials and other top wealthy people around the world, and each set costs more than 1 billion berries.

There are also "Sea King Series" and "Deep Sea Coral Series" jewelry, the price range is between tens of millions of berries and hundreds of millions of berries. This price is considered a relatively cheap luxury item in the Holy Shield Chamber of Commerce.

Even the cigarettes and alcohol sold by the Holy Shield Chamber of Commerce were sold in different grades, and the packaging of the high-end products was so unique that it was breathtaking.

With the "Ocean Series" pearl shells as the backbone of luxury goods and embellished with seafood such as tobacco, alcohol, fish, etc., the core business competitiveness of the Holy Shield Chamber of Commerce is extremely strong.

What is most important is that this competitiveness is highly irreplaceable.

Most other luxury goods, such as jewelry and diamonds, you can get them, and so can I. Although a simple brand can attract the attention of the rich, it cannot attract the world's top people.

For ordinary people, they need to rely on brands to obtain luxury and vanity, but for those who stand at the top of power, even the Celestial Dragons.

Even if it is a fake, it is no less than a rare treasure in their hands.

In their circle, what really matters is not the value attached to the brand, but the nobility and rarity of these luxury goods themselves.

The Holy Shield Chamber of Commerce's "Heart of the Dragon" and "Heart of the Ocean" series of products each need to be ordered at least three months in advance. They are specially customized by designers based on the buyer's personality and appearance preferences, and are unique.

At the same time, raw materials from the deep sea also constitute a considerable degree of monopoly. Even the raw materials alone can eliminate 99% of imitations.

If you want to imitate it, you must be qualified to sneak into Fishman Island and obtain deep-sea pearls and shells, which cannot be faked.

At the same time, relying on its own reputation, the Holy Shield Chamber of Commerce also opened retail stores, selling everything: as long as you can name it, I can get it.

Anyone with a little business acumen can see that in just three months, the Holy Shield Chamber of Commerce has accumulated a huge amount of wealth.

Naturally, someone would have had thoughts about such a huge fortune.

The top bosses had long known the background of the Holy Shield Chamber of Commerce through their connections. The navy background alone was enough to dissuade most people with ill intentions.

What's more, according to gossip, there are Celestial Dragons behind the Holy Shield Chamber of Commerce!

No one dares to compete with the Celestial Dragons for food, unless you also want to be the next delicacy in their bowl.

And those bosses whose spies behind the scenes are not so sharp but still have brains can also analyze the unusualness of the Holy Shield Chamber of Commerce through the details.

They may still be greedy, but they still have enough reason to wait, waiting for the first group of people to try it out.

If they can succeed, it will not be too late for them to reap the benefits. If there is any danger, it will not affect them directly.

The worst thing was that those idiots with no background and no brains recklessly sent people to rob several branches of the Chamber of Commerce.

As a result, the next day, their own property was directly confiscated, and even the high-ranking managers became slaves or corpses.

These people don't even think about the fact that the luxury goods of the Holy Shield Chamber of Commerce all bear their own logo, and these things cannot be sold in the entire Sabaody Archipelago.

Truly exquisite high-end goods are all custom-made, so how can they be displayed in a store?

You know, even Zhiya, who has always been in charge, doesn’t know much about the background of the Holy Shield Chamber of Commerce.

Zhiya was mainly responsible for the business in Marinford, while the Chamber of Commerce in the Sabaody Archipelago was established by someone else sent by Carsen.

The real people behind the Holy Shield Chamber of Commerce are the true Celestial Dragons, members of the Jaygolucia family.

In essence, the Holy Shield Chamber of Commerce is an attempt by the Jaygolucia family to obey Carsent's will and to exist in the outside world as a non-Celestial Dragon. It is also an expansion of the Holy Land's capital.

The repeated incidents have made the Five Elders realize that the Holy Land's control over the entire ocean is too narrow.

In the past, the military deterrence centered on the navy was no longer sufficient to control the entire ocean. They needed more and more reliable ways.

For example, economic control centered on the Holy Shield Chamber of Commerce under Carsent, intelligence control, and even comprehensive control over food and weapons.
