Chapter 249 The situation in the underground world in 1486 of the Haiyuan calendar
In the year 1486 of the Haiyuan calendar, a new year has arrived.
At this time, many people suddenly discovered that nearly a year had passed since the disbandment of the Rocks Pirates.
The situation in the sea has stabilized a little, but only a little.
Whether it is the four seas or the first half of the great sea route, the sea area is very vast.
Even though the strong men guarding the four sea areas can capture pirates every time they take action, this is nothing compared to the huge number of pirates.
There are more pirates, this is what many people think in the navy, as if they can't catch them all.
A large number of pirates can be said to be first-class in escaping.
The lack of mid-to-high-end combat power makes it difficult for the navy to capture pirates efficiently.
A large number of former senior leaders of the Sihai Navy have been poached by the franchised countries, which has further reduced the Navy's control over the Sihai Navy.
Of course, the Navy is also trying its best to curb this situation.
At least the trade routes in some China Unicom franchise countries have stabilized.
The addition of the World Government has made competition in the world's arms trade more intense. The first half of the great sea route is the sea area where the World Government has the strongest control, and it is also the area where arms dumping is the largest.
In the four seas, even if many forces are willing to give face to the World Government, they will not blindly purchase the World Government's arms.
In the underground world of the new world, competition has reached a fierce stage, and the dark kings of the underground world have gradually begun to emerge.
Except for Victor, the "King of Arms" who originally belonged to the Kingdom of Kronos, he was not affected by the destruction of the Rocks Pirates at all.
The chaotic world and underground world made Victor's business grow bigger and bigger, and the Dark King's status could not be shaken at all.
"Sea Transport King" Umit became the second dark king of the new world.
The chaotic sea is both a disaster and an opportunity.
Umit's family already operates a huge shipping force.
With the support of the Kingdom of Kronos, Umit perfectly controlled all the power of the family and avoided losses caused by internal power struggles.
In this chaos, Umit integrated and annexed various shipping forces and became the king of the shipping industry in the underground world of the New World.
Unlike Victor, Umet is both black and white.
Even excluding the shipping power in the underground world, Umit is still a giant in the shipping industry.
By cooperating with the Kingdom of Kronos, Umit can obtain a large amount of goods from all over the world and transport them to all parts of the New World and even the first half of the Great Line.
Working with the "King of Arms" Victor, Umit can also transport Victor's arms to the world.
Although the Kingdom of Kronos possesses the power of the Mirror Fruit, such power cannot be abused to avoid dependence.
If something goes wrong, all the trade chains will be broken.
In the process of cooperation, Umit can gain a lot of benefits and develop his own power.
Even without the help of the Kingdom of Kronos, Umit will be able to become the dark king of the underground world on his own in the future.
But to develop to the point where it is now, it will take at least ten or twenty years.
However, it will take some time for Umit to develop in order to truly spread its transportation power around the world.
At least Umit's current transportation scale across the world is not large.
The dark king of the underground world has not changed much.
Mainly those forces.
The Stringtail Group, which represents the king in the currency field, operates commercial trade, casinos, and various industries.
Of course the main industry is loan sharking.
Therefore, the leader of each generation of the Stringtail Snake Group is the king of the dark world, also known as the "King of Loan Usury."
Even if one person dies, it will not be shaken at all. Just elect another person in charge.
In addition to the underground world of the New World, the String-tailed Snake Group has considerable influence on the surface and even in other sea areas.
The Kingdom of Kronos knows that behind the Chordus Group stands the Eternal Kingdom, which is also one of the superpowers.
Today's "Queen of Happy Street" is not Stussy. Happy Street is an industry secretly controlled by the World Government. It is an important money-making machine for the World Government and an important place to obtain intelligence.
Over the years, the power of Happy Street has expanded a lot.
Due to the loss of the World Government, it is even more necessary for Happy Street to take it from the pockets of those pirates and nobles.
Behind this, there are countless victims.
Competition in other fields is fierce. To be precise, if you want to become the King of Darkness, you must have the power and power recognized by others.
The future "old store owners in the warehousing industry" obviously have no chance to become the king of darkness.
Many of their original customers have switched to dark banks.
The emergence of Dark Bank was like a bayonet piercing their main arteries.
In half a year, the battle pyramid has been built.
But it is not open.
Now is not the time. Regarding the combat pyramid, there are still a large number of industrial chains that need to be opened up to prepare for the supply of tens or millions of people in the future.
Even the entire island of Paros is undeveloped, except for those from the Kingdom of Kronos and the Pluto Pirates.
Kingdom of Kronos.
Even though he was busy, Hades was only busy for a period of time, and he had almost learned about the entire kingdom.
Leaving general matters to the cabinet for processing, Hades naturally had free time.
In the treasury of the Kingdom of Kronos, there are a large number of Devil Fruits collected from all over the world through the Kingdom of Kronos.
Among them were Hades who collected them during his time with the Rocks Pirates. Through the money exchange, he obtained a lot of devil fruits.
Of course, there are also Devil Fruits sent by the World Government.
Just a few days after Hades became king, the World Government sent Devil Fruit.
One hundred and thirty-one Devil Fruits in total.
Among the large number of common devil fruits, there are also some good abilities.
Among them, there are more than fifty Devil Fruits that are completely unknown. Even the world government does not know what their abilities are. They can only roughly distinguish which category they belong to based on the shape of the Devil Fruit.
The Kingdom of Kronos did not care about such a division.
Opening blind boxes is also quite fun.
Maybe it contains powerful abilities, and he also has the means to recover Devil Fruits.
Just let some pirates and prisoners eat it, and then recycle it after confirming its ability.
One fantasy beast species, one natural species, and two ancient species.
Even with the rare Devil Fruit, Hades didn't have any expectations.
The phantom species, the gargoyle form, has a body as hard as rock and has the special ability to absorb damage.
It seems like a good ability, but it has a fatal flaw.
That is, you cannot use your abilities under sunlight. Once exposed to sunlight, your animal body will turn to stone.
It can be said that Hikari's restraint on this devil fruit has reached the extreme. Even if he uses armed Haki to resist it, the Haki will be consumed at an alarming rate.
Moreover, even if you don't use your abilities, as long as you are in the sun, your own strength will be weakened like hitting a sea tower stone.
The fatal flaw is destined to be at the end of the fantasy beast species. Of course, under special circumstances, this ability is still very powerful.
Natural type·Mirage fruit, as the name suggests, is to create mirages.
Many natural devil fruits have the terrifying ability to evolve into natural disasters.
It seems that the World Government does not want the Kingdom of Kronos to gain too much power, so it took out this mirage fruit with almost zero direct lethality.
However, from Hades's point of view, it's still pretty good, at least better than the Smoke Fruit.
Two ancient species, one ancient species - land crocodile fruit, and one ancient species - Brondus scorpion fruit.
The land crocodile is just a small crocodile, and the Brondus scorpion looks good to Hades.
Overall, there are no surprises, and I can only place my expectations on other devil fruits.
Also, how can the world government take advantage of the Kingdom of Chronos? It must try its best to minimize the losses.
