Chapter 242 The World Government Enters the Arms Market
"It's finally over. When will the one hundred and thirty-one Devil Fruits from the World Government be delivered?"
Hades is having a remote video chat with his wife Metis.
Metis has been quite busy recently. As Hades's wife and chief consul, she helped Hades form a cabinet team to assist Hades in handling government affairs.
Control the rational development of all areas of the kingdom.
Also pay attention to negotiations with the world government.
In comparison, Hades' busyness is not worth mentioning at all.
Once Hades had almost learned about the Kingdom of Kronos, and with the formation of the cabinet, he would naturally be free again.
Moreover, he will not put all his energy into handling government affairs. Ensuring the improvement of his strength is his most important task.
The twenty-eight-year-old Hades has not yet reached his peak.
Exercise does work after all.
Wearing handcuffs with a high concentration of sea floor stone, they dragged warships one after another in the sand.
As the number of warships increases, one can clearly feel the all-round improvement of the body.
And now, Hades also has a black technology to improve strength, which can enhance the effect of exercise.
That is the gravity field.
Gravity is something Hades has been asking Nikola Tesla to study, hoping to develop a method to artificially control gravity.
With huge capital investment, Tesla has obviously succeeded.
The unpredictable environment and countless special magnetic fields in the new world have created unique islands and sea wonders.
Gravity Island is one of them.
The strange magnetic field of these islands causes the island's gravity to be very special.
Some gravity islands contain up to ten times the gravity.
Some gravity islands contain even lighter gravity than normal.
Some special floating islands float because of this.
By studying the magnetic fields of these gravity islands, Tesla developed special equipment that could create gravity fields.
And it can also reduce the device that releases the gravitational field to a small wristband.
However, with the current technology of the Kingdom of Kronos, it is possible to create a gravity field with up to thirty times the gravity.
The range of the gravity field that the gravity wristband can induce is small, and the gravity intensity is only five times.
This is enough for Hades. When placed in the world, this is definitely an invention that spans the ages and can allow Hades to maintain rapid improvement in strength.
"In about two weeks, the World Government will send things over. The World Government will also need to spend some time collecting them. It will not send all the good things."
Apparently, the World Government needs time to find some poor quality Devil Fruits.
"Haha, two weeks is not a long time."
Hades doesn't mind this kind of thing. No matter how bad the devil fruit is, how can I be worse?
What alternatives can the world government find in such a short time?
"Do you want your succession ceremony to be watched by the world government?"
Metis asked.
"Refuse." Hades said bluntly.
It seems that the World Government wants to participate again, but Hades will not give them this opportunity.
If the World Government really comes in, some important information will inevitably be leaked.
The supervision of the Kingdom of Kronos has reached a certain limit.
Maybe ordinary residents don't feel anything.
Under normal circumstances, outsiders are not allowed in at all.
Even merchants from the Kingdom of Kronos will be subject to strict supervision when entering and exiting the kingdom, and there will be no suspicious persons.
Touch the sea tower stone wall to see if there is someone with abilities hiding in the dark.
Through trade alone, the Kingdom of Kronos can draw a large amount of resources and wealth from the outside world and from all over the world.
In addition, the Kingdom of Kronos has an independent currency system.
Residents of the Kingdom of Kronos have an identity card that is difficult to forge.
Any suspicious persons will be reported.
Hades also cleaned up the entire kingdom.
The entire Kingdom of Kronos has been built into an iron wall that is difficult to shake.
The World Government's official team leaves the Kingdom of Chronos.
This high-profile secret meeting finally ended, and no one knew what the World Government and the Kingdom of Kronos had discussed or what agreement they had reached.
But later, there was faint news about Fish-Man Island and the Hong Kong tariff.
If some news is not released, many people will definitely think wildly.
The World Government also released some news in a timely manner.
Some explanations also need to be given to the franchised countries.
As time goes by, various forces will be able to guess some of the contents of the specific talks.
For example, while the conference was ongoing, world governments were already preparing to sell arms around the world.
Such movements were noticed all over the world, in the first half of the great sea route, including in the underground world.
Some of the franchise countries that are close to the World Government believe that they can gain more power and benefits by relying on the World Government, and they have begun to change the direction of the trend.
Prepare to lean into world government.
The World Government has such influence. Even though the World Government is now weakened, it is still extremely powerful for most forces.
Only a few people know the inside story of the battle in the Valley of the Gods and the final losses.
In terms of superficial prestige, the World Government has reached its peak after the destruction of the Rocks Pirates.
As the situation in the sea remains unchanged, the prestige of the World Government will not decline in a short period of time.
Of course, after that, it's a different story.
At least on the surface, the World Government that destroyed the Rocks Pirates can be said to be in full swing.
Plus the influence of the world government itself.
Many orders were sent to the World Government at one time.
However, this is based on the influence of the world government.
If you want to continue to expand, you still need to talk about quality.
Not everyone will give face to the World Government, and the World Government's arms have no advantage over the two major arms giants.
The World Government also wants to enter the underground world. The base of the "Lord of Arms" is the New World, and its influence in the first half of the Four Seas and the Great Line is slightly weaker. This is also the goal of the World Government.
However, competition in the underground world is more intense than on the surface.
Although the Kingdom of Kronos has said that it will not suppress the World Government.
But the world's government can't say anything about business practices.
The two major arms giants have released news that they will jointly hold a military expo with some other well-known arms dealers next month.
Displaying various newly developed weapons will, after all, be another military feast.
Basically, these arms dealers have quite powerful forces behind them.
World government is among them.
The addition of the world government is both a bad thing and a good thing.
The disadvantage is that there is one more person sharing the benefits, and the advantage is that the arms trade will change from illegal to legal.
The arms trade in the underground world is illegal. Once the world government intervenes, the arms trade in the underground world becomes legal.
What the world government does has political significance in itself.
In this case, the number of capable forces entering this industry will continue to increase.
The arms all over the world cannot be contained even if we want to. How can this world be calm?
As long as the world continues to be in chaos, arms trafficking will always be a hugely profitable industry.
