One Piece: From the Rocks Era to King of the World

Chapter 324: The Self-Defense Forces are Established

After returning to the Infinite Sea, Olga's illness was cured by Lazli with a special medicine, and Asiya naturally became a scientist of the Infinite Pirates.

Li Yuan then cut four small pieces of pure gold and inlaid them into a special bracelet.

"Ma'am, weren't you curious about why I was looking for that lantern fish?"

"It's for the four bracelets in your hands. To be more precise, it's for the pure gold inlaid in the bracelets."

Li Yuan handed four bracelets to his four women and said.

"Pure gold? The pure gold that is said to make people immortal?"

Lazili said in surprise, covering her mouth.

According to legend, pure gold appeared more than two hundred years ago. It was something that the World Government and the Celestial Dragons dreamed of obtaining. However, the pure gold disappeared later and no one knew the whereabouts of the pure gold. However, they did not expect that the pure gold was actually in the body of the lantern fish they had seen before, and was found by their husbands and given to them.

As women, they naturally hope to live forever so that they won’t become ugly.

"Yes, it is pure gold. These four bracelets are inlaid with pure gold. They are for you!"

"Although pure gold can make people immortal, it has a disadvantage. Once you wear it, all functions of your body will be stagnant at the current moment. This means that your physical strength cannot grow even a little bit."

"And once you put it on, you can't take it off. For example, if you put it on now, after a hundred years, your appearance will still not change at all. But if you take it off after a hundred years, then in a short period of time, fifty years of your life will pass. If you don't take the pure gold back in time, you will permanently lose a hundred years of life, and then you will die!"

Li Yuan pointed out the advantages and disadvantages of pure gold.

He himself has now eaten the Mythical Beast Vampire Devil Fruit, which allows him to remain young forever, so naturally he doesn't need to carry something like pure gold, which has side effects.

But his women were different. Although they took the longevity potion, the longevity potion also had limitations, so pure gold was the guarantee of eternal life.

"Don't worry, my husband. We will bring it with us when the time comes. There is no need to rush now."

After listening to Li Yuan, Lazili and the others had no plans to carry the pure gold now. They had taken life-extending potions and were still young. In addition, although they were not combatants, they all focused on improving their own strength. They would not carry the pure gold now, which would limit their physical improvement. They would naturally carry it when their physical strength could no longer grow.

"Well, just judge for yourselves!"

Li Yuan didn't say anything about this. His woman had her own considerations, and as a man, he naturally wouldn't say anything.

Baldigo Island:

The island has become pure white because of the platinum and lead mines underground, and is known as the "White Town".

It was in such a town that people who were dissatisfied with the rule of the Celestial Dragons, such as Monkey D. Dragon and Ambrio Ivankov, gathered here and formed the Self-Valiant Army, which was the predecessor of the Revolutionary Army.

"Dragon, this era is the era of pirates, the era of chaos, the era of instability of the world government's rule over the world, and also the era of the development and growth of our Self-Defense Forces!"

"We should contact more people who share our ideals and are dissatisfied with the world's oppression, and overthrow the rule of the world government together!"

Ivankov said excitedly.

"I know, but overthrowing the rule of the World Government is not an easy task. We need to plan ahead, such as starting with how to strengthen the Self-Defense Forces!"

"If the Self-Defense Force wants to grow and develop, it first needs people, then a belief that can unite us, and thirdly, weapons."

Dragon now goes by the alias Long. He used to be the backbone of the navy, so he naturally knows what is most important to do in order to develop a force.

"Long, I heard that a force called the Quicksand Guild has recently emerged in the Four Seas. Many people can get what they want by posting tasks on it, but the prerequisite is that they have enough money!"

"I think we can try to post a weapon mission in the Quicksand Guild and let the people in the Quicksand Guild help us provide weapons."

"At the same time, we can also try to go to Grimaud Trading Island in the West Sea. It is a trading island established by the Wuji Pirates in the West Sea. We can buy a large number of Wuji Pirates' arms there."

Ivankov said after thinking for a while.

"Okay, let's follow Ivankov's advice and proceed with both weapon sources at the same time."

"Also, while the situation is chaotic now, we should overthrow more of those brutal kingdoms, and then take the opportunity to develop and expand the Self-Defense Forces!"

Long said.

This era, just as Ivankov said, is the weakest period of the World Government, and it is also the best time for various forces opposing the World Government's rule to develop. Once the power of the World Government is restored, it will be extremely difficult for their self-brave army to grow and develop, and they will even be targeted by the World Government because of their ideology.

"The arms order placed by the Self-Defense Army is so large? Why haven't I heard of this force before?"

Yadina looked at the list in her hand that required her approval and felt a little confused. She immediately started searching for all the information about the Self-Defense Forces through Luowang.

Generally speaking, these orders can be approved by the people below them, and only orders exceeding one billion berries require personal approval from Yadina.

But the Self-Defense Forces asked for 5 billion worth of arms right out of the gate. Arms of this magnitude are not something that any ordinary force can afford.

Although the Wuji Pirates have no shortage of arms, they will not sell them to anyone who places an order. Only sufficiently powerful forces and individuals are qualified to receive large arms orders from the Wuji Pirates.

Of course, as long as they are enemies of the Wuji Pirates, Yadina will not approve.

Therefore, whether it is the Navy or the World Government, they can only purchase the arms of the Infinite Pirates through the underground world or intermediaries. This requires the World Government and the Navy to pay 30% or even 50% more for the arms to buy the arms of the Infinite Pirates.

Soon, Luowang sent the information that Yadina needed, and even dug out Dorag's information. It can be said that there are Luowang people even in the Self-Yong Army.

"Oh? It's actually a newly established force under the banner of liberation. This is a good idea. It's almost the opposite of the rule of the World Government."

"The founder is the son of Drago, Garp, who killed the Celestial Dragons and is wanted by the World Government. Let me help you. You'd better grow stronger!"

After Yadina learned about the intelligence of the Self-Defense Forces, she decisively signed her name on the order.

"It just so happens that the second batch of arms eliminated by the Wuji Pirates are for sale, so I'll give it to you to try!"

The arms sold by the Wuji Pirates are all arms that the Wuji Pirates themselves have eliminated, and Li Yuan also strictly controls the power of the arms sold so that they cannot be too powerful. Many special and powerful arms of the Wuji Pirates are prohibited from being sold, and the arms sold are all conventional arms.

But even the conventional armaments of the Wuji Pirates are much more powerful than those arms and firearms of the old era, and can almost be said to be overwhelmingly powerful.

It is this kind of strength that has led to the fact that the whole world only recognizes the arms of the Wuji Pirates, and they do not recognize the arms of other arms dealers.

Because this is a bloody lesson that has been verified through many years, countless wars and sacrifices.

Those who previously did not believe that the Wuji Pirates were the world's number one arms dealer, had to believe it as long as they survived the repeated failures in wars.

Because they were scared by the people who had the Wuji Pirates' munitions, so they bought the Wuji Pirates' munitions and went to fight against the people who didn't buy the Wuji Pirates' munitions, and then they successfully crushed those people.

It is this snowball effect that crushes all those who refuse to obey, leaving only a snowball group that keeps getting bigger and bigger.

Wilmer Island, West Sea:

There used to be many thieves and gangs running rampant on this island, but since a security guard named Lafayette appeared on the island, the security on the island has improved a lot.

But this Lafayette security guard was too violent. Any thieves, gangsters, criminals, etc. caught by him would be tortured half to death by him with extremely cruel and violent means.

Although he maintained law and order on the island and made it more stable, he was not welcomed by most of the people on the island because of his violent behavior. He was also disliked by the nobles because he did not obey their orders.

"Run! It's that violent security guard! Damn it! This is not his patrol area. Why is he here?"

Lafayette walked on the street every day. When pickpockets saw Lafayette, they were scared and ran away even if they did not steal anything.

"That Lafayette is here. What bad luck! Why would he come to our street?"

"Don't say that. At least because of him, many gangsters and thieves in our town don't dare to show up. This makes our lives more stable."

"What do you know? He is just trying to satisfy his brutal character. He doesn't care about us at all. Otherwise, he wouldn't torture those he caught. This is against the laws of the kingdom!"

"."

Only after Lafayette walked down this street did the shop owners on the street dare to talk about Lafayette.

Lafayette knew all this, but he ignored the rumors. To him, they were of no importance at all.

Just as those people said, he was largely doing it to satisfy his own violent character, and maintaining stability on the island was just a convenience.
