Chapter 887 The Change of the World 2

Ying Jie Bi Ye Sheng
Soon, Princess Shirahoshi generously shared the gift she had received with her mother-in-law, Princess Otohime, and the boss Jinbei. This was a thick photo album, and the photos taken on it, Most of them come from the legendary Sky Island, and a few come from other sea areas...
Back then, before leaving Fish-Man Island, Doyle had mentioned the authenticity of Sky Island to Shirahoshi. At that time, he did agree to find a way for her to see what Sky Island looked like first. After all, in the future, it would be a long time. For a period of time, Bai Xing was still not suitable to leave Fish-Man Island. It was not that easy to run to Sky Island.
What Doyle wanted at the time was to take some photos and send them to Fishman Island. In Doyle's vision, once the "Umbrella Logistics and Transportation Company" was established, "express delivery" would become a very common thing. Fish-Man Island, a giant distribution center, will become the most critical node...
However, since he has never been free, Doyle has actually never been to Sky Island, let alone taken photos. The reason why Doyle was able to compile such a photo was thanks to his sister Anna.
Compared with the busy Doyle brothers, sister Anna can be said to be more leisurely. In addition, Anna has entered a bottleneck period after a long period of training. Next, she must have enough experience and follow-up. Only with the natural growth of age can there be obvious progress, so Anna's mind became more active...
One day, Golden Lion went back to Andre's Kingdom, and was caught by the "idle" Anna. After a round of hard work, Golden Lion, an old guy, was also very relieved and agreed to take her. Go to Sky Island with her friends.
In this way, under the leadership of the Golden Lion, Anna, her "right-hand man" female swordsman Maki, photographer Tatara, and Ajiu, who considers herself as Anna's chief bodyguard, came to the airspace of Kongdao...
Under Carlo's governance, today's airspace has become monolithic. The activities under the control of the main airspace are relatively safe for Anna and her group. In fact, with the strength of Anna's three "subordinates" now, Self-protection is still very safe, and there are no particularly powerful people on Sky Island itself, so Doyle will allow them to visit Sky Island.
Therefore, it goes without saying that the photo album in Shirahoshi's hand was created by Tatara. As a professional traveler and photographer, it goes without saying that Tatara's photography skills are also impressive. The already dreamy sky island is transformed by his shooting techniques. , even more dreamy and desirable...
Of course, in Doyle's view, the beauty of Fish-Man Island is actually no less beautiful than Sky Island. It can be said that each has its own characteristics. If Tatara were to go to Fish-Man Island to take a set of landscape photos, the effect would probably be as good. Comparable to Sky Island.
The beautiful photos in the hands of Princess Shirahoshi instantly attracted the attention of Princess Otohime and Jinbei. The legendary Sky Island actually existed. After realizing this, even Jinbei, who had traveled around for many years, was a little surprised...
You know, the legend about Sky Island has been passed down for hundreds of years, but no one has ever come up with evidence to truly prove the authenticity of its existence. Maybe someone has been there and returned safely, and indeed I mentioned it to others, but because I couldn't take the initiative to go to Sky Island for the second time, all this was considered false by the world.
In fact, not many people know the news that the Roger Pirates have been to Sky Island, but as mentioned before, the world simply does not believe it, and it is impossible for the Roger Pirates to lick their faces and convince them. People in the world, he doesn't care what outsiders think, and he doesn't need to stand up to prove anything, believe it or not...
Moreover, even those who believe in the existence of Sky Island cannot go there. Over time, everything about Sky Island has become a legend. After all, there are so many unknown islands and sea areas in the sea worth exploring. In comparison, the existence of islands or even human civilization in the sky feels more like nonsense.
But now, dragging Shirahoshi Doufu, Jinbei and Princess Otohime have seen the real existence of Sky Island. They have even seen the real existence of Sky Island human civilization. In the photos, there are many Sky Island aborigines. There are children, adults, craftsmen, warriors, and even in the hands of Tatara, a scene where Carlo transformed into the god of thunder and accepted the worship of all people was recorded...
With just one glance, Jinbei could almost conclude that the white-haired boy suspended high in the sky, bathed in thunder, must be a user with the ability of the natural Devil Fruit, the Thunder Fruit. If such a person appears on the sea, he must be Will he be a great person? Jinbei thought to himself.
"This is the legendary Sky Island, and is there also the legendary Golden Land?" Princess Otohime's eyes were full of brilliance. As a person who has never even been to Fish-Man Island a few times in her life, she could actually do it at this moment. After seeing the legendary Sky Island, Princess Otohime felt a little uneasy.
That night, after King Neptune and the three Shark Star brothers returned to the Dragon Palace, they naturally received gifts from Princess Otohime and Princess Shirahoshi, mother and daughter, and saw the photo album recording the "legend" here.
While Neptune was amazed, he even issued an order, asking Bai Xing not to show this photo album to outsiders casually. Bai Xing also solemnly agreed. In Bai Xing's mind, everyone in Fish-Man Island can be regarded as one of his own. , that is, these family members in front of him, plus at most the two elders Jinping and Xia Li, the others are not considered his own.

The great waterway, the capital of water.
"Boss, the annual meeting went very well, and the employees have been initially getting along. I believe that as long as there are enough orders for everyone to be busy and make money, then the company will be completely stable." A secretary The young girl with long legs and black stockings and gold-rimmed glasses was reporting the situation to the big boss sitting in the office.
"Well, that's good. As for orders, don't worry. We in Karale are short of everything now, except for orders. The Navy has gone through several wars and has ordered more warships from our company. ..." Espagu seemed very confident, and this was indeed not a problem for him.
Acebago, who is wearing a suit and leather tie, already looks like a successful entrepreneur. However, he is not lost. As long as he takes off his outer suit, he can still go to the dock to build a ship with his own hands. However, if he wants to If Espagu wanted to build the ship himself, the premium would be very high. After all, his status was different.
After the two talked about business for a while, Espagu dismissed his secretary and began to continue planning. The development of Karare Company in the next 1514, as well as the development of his personal political career, all of which required him to take good care of. total.
This city is located in the middle of the Great Waterway. Because its shipbuilding industry is developed and can even build warships, and because it has very convenient transportation with the Judiciary Island under the World Government, although it is also small in size, it has not been established. Kingdom, but it has always been a member of the World Government.
Although such a city is not included in the ranks of the World Government's affiliated countries and does not have the right to participate in the World Conference, it can still ask for help from the Navy Headquarters at any time when it encounters danger, just like the affiliated countries. When the "Water Gods" arrived in [-], the Navy indeed sent many people to participate in the rescue work.
Since the completion of the sea train, the "Calare Shipbuilding Company", which is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the sea train, was born out of nowhere. Its boss is the famous world's number one shipbuilder, the eldest disciple of Master Tom, the builder of the miraculous sea train - —Aspago.
The rise of the "Kalare Shipbuilding Company" is astonishing. No one knows why its financial resources and military force are so powerful. However, the existence of its boss Espagu Ye's sea train has made him more and more famous in the water city. High, more and more citizens have become loyal supporters of Espagu. These are also the political capital of Espagu.
In the past year 1513 of the Maritime Calendar, Espagu, the owner of the "Kalare Shipbuilding Company", completed the final integration of resources and brought the seven most prestigious shipbuilding companies in the original water capital under his control, allowing "Kalare Shipbuilding Company" to "Lei Company" has also become a real business leader in the Water City. For the residents of the Water City, this is an out-and-out miracle.
However, it was at this time that the residents of the Water City also discovered that the big boss Espagu, known as the "genius shipbuilder", had more ambitions than that. In addition to running the company, Espagu also He actively participated in the municipal work of the Water City and became one of the councilors of the Water City. If nothing unexpected happened, in 1514, this old España elder would participate in the competition for the mayor of the Water City.
In fact, after calculation, everyone also found that the old man España had a pretty good chance of winning. If he really wanted that position, he might really be able to do it, because there were so many strong competitors in the Water City. There are fewer, and Karale Company's influence in the water city is unparalleled.
As the leader of the pillar industries of the Water City, Karale Company determines what kind of life more than half of the residents of the Water City can live. Under such circumstances, Espagu is basically regarded as the "uncrowned king" of the Water City. , as long as the problems from higher levels are solved, then Espagu will also rise to the top.
So the question is, is it difficult to solve high-level problems? In fact, there are not many problems. After all, in terms of financial resources, Espagu is not weaker than anyone else, and money can make all the difference. As long as enough money is spread, then resistance and other things are naturally dispensable. existence, not to mention that Espagu is not fighting alone...
It is worth mentioning that Kalare Company in the Water Capital is very lucky to be one of the first partner companies of the Umbrella Group, because it is precisely because of the strong partner of the Umbrella Group, Only Karale Company could expand rapidly in such a short period of time until it annexed the original seven major shipbuilding companies in the Water Capital.
In the original work, although Espagu also established the Karale Company, and the successful Karale Company became the only leader of the Water City, that was only after he became the mayor of the Water City and used his authority to , in addition to the fact that the nominal unification was finally completed in the name of company merger, which is completely different from the current situation.
There is only one word difference between "merger" and "annexation", but in fact they are very different. Espagu, who has seen his future with his own eyes, knows that in the original future, the reason why he was able to become the capital of water Mayor, perhaps because he was ordered in a critical situation, the Water City really needs someone to clean up the mess.
But things are different now. Now Espagu has confidence and strength. In the mayoral election held simultaneously with the World Conference, he was elected mayor with the highest number of votes. This is how Espagu has been changed. destiny.

West Sea.
As brand-new weapons and equipment were shipped out in batches from several giant industrial zones in the suburbs of Umbrella City in the Kingdom of Flowers, a wave of new weapons and equipment was launched throughout the West Sea. There was no way, if you fell behind, you would be beaten. , no matter which world we go to, it is the absolute truth.
Seeing that the Umbrella Group's weapons shipments have begun to increase, as long as you have money, you will not have to worry about buying weapons. In addition, "War House" stores have also begun to quickly open in the West Sea outside the Kingdom of Flowers. Blooming, the sales route of Umbrella Group Xihai Branch has been launched...
Of course, Umbrella Group still has a group of competitors in the West China Sea. After all, how could a profitable business like arms be blank? And these so-called competitors are surprisingly headed by the five major mafia families. The "small workshops" arms dealers.
Perhaps the arms factories of the five major mafia families have fallen out of the category of "small workshops." However, compared to the several "super factories" on the outskirts of Umbrella City, it would be polite to say that they are "small workshops." There is no comparison.
Naturally, the five major mafia groups have found out the "ins and outs" of the Umbrella Group. Therefore, compared to provoking such a behemoth, the heads of the five major mafia families are naturally more inclined to give up the arms business. After all, there are many industries with huge profits, and this is also true. After all, the Umbrella Group does not want to force them to a dead end.
However, among the five major mafia families, one of them is based on arms sales as its main industry. The other four families may be able to simply give up, but their family cannot. This will cause a big problem, so this family began to Running wildly on the road of "seeking death"...
