One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 778 Duo Luo's Choice
"Captain, why should we continue to exist as a member of the World Government? Tenjojin is such a heavy burden, why don't we just withdraw?"

A rebel soldier asked in confusion. In fact, many people had this idea, and some even thought that Doro had betrayed them and just wanted to be king. However, the soldiers who had followed Doro for many years knew what kind of person he was and knew that there must be other reasons for Doro to do this.

"It's very simple, old friend. Although it's helpless, the Woka Kingdom does not have the real ability to resist the World Government. We are located in the first half of the Grand Line, not in the New World. If we were in the New World, relying on our relationship with Kaido and Lily, I could announce on the spot that the Woka Kingdom would withdraw from the World Government. However, we are in Paradise, where the World Government has the strongest control. Kaido and Lily cannot support us quickly, and the World Government has many ways to control us. It is still our best choice to become a member of the World Government."

Dora was also very helpless. If he had a choice, he actually didn't want to continue to be a dog for the World Government. But there was no way. The geographical location of the Woka Kingdom was destined. Unless Kaido and Lily and others completely defeated the World Government, they could only continue to live under someone else's roof. Otherwise, if they withdrew from the World Government, even without the World Government taking action, those countries that had been robbed by the Woka Kingdom over the years would be enough to make the Woka Kingdom suffer.

"That's right."

The rebel soldiers thought about what Dora said and found that it was indeed the case. The Woka Kingdom did not have the ability to break away from the World Government. They did not have the natural barrier of Fishman Island, nor did they have bodyguards at the gates of the Four Royal Kingdoms like in the New World. Although Kaido and Lily did come very quickly, they were still far inferior to the people from the World Government who could come at any time. The rebel soldiers' knots were immediately untied.

However, there is another problem that comes with it, which is the most troublesome problem of heavenly gold.

"Captain, what do you think about the gold in the sky? This year we can barely rely on the assets left by Vodka IV and those nobles to hand it over, but what about next year? Do we have to fight again? Brothers have really had enough of fighting these years, and hope to live a more stable life."

"I understand. If you asked me before Kaido and Lily came, I probably wouldn't have a good solution. But now it's different. Kaido and Lily brought us good news."

Dora said with a mysterious smile.

"What good news?"

The rebel soldier asked hurriedly. Since it was about money, he couldn't help but take it seriously. After all, his duty was to manage logistics in the rebel army. Judging from the current situation, he would probably also be responsible for the finances of the Woka Kingdom in the future. After all, if that group of rough guys were allowed to do this kind of thing, the Woka Kingdom would probably never become rich in this lifetime.

"Remember those uninhabited islands affiliated with the Kingdom of Woka?"

Dora asked.

"Yes, no one has been to those islands for hundreds of years. They are covered with seabird droppings. To be honest, there is no place to stay."

Speaking of these islands, the rebel army's logistics chief frowned and said that they had thought of turning these islands into supply stations, but there was so much bird droppings on them that no one wanted to stay there any longer, so they gave up. Wait? Could it be that those islands!
"Could there be mines on those islands?"

The logistics manager suddenly thought of something and said that if there really was a mineral vein on that island, it could really make the Kingdom of Woka rich. After all, resources like metals are extremely precious at all times.

"Hehe, there are indeed mines, but they are different from what you think. They are not metal mines, but the bird droppings that have been accumulated for many years are the mineral veins, which are called phosphate mines. In the words of Kaido and Lily, they are mineral veins that can be used in various places. They have extremely high value. The phosphate mines on those islands, even if they are mined without restraint, are enough for the Kingdom of Woka to use for hundreds of years. Just imagine, how much wealth this is!"

Dora's face was filled with an unstoppable smile. When he knew about this, he was so excited that he could hardly close his mouth. This was simply a pie in the sky. He repeatedly confirmed with Kaido and Lily that this was not a joke they played to support the Woka Kingdom. He finally sat down on the sofa with a huge sense of happiness. At that time, he was just smiling foolishly. "Is this true!?"

The logistics minister was surprised and said, "Those inconspicuous things are such precious resources? This is really unbelievable!" He knew how much guano there was on those islands. It was no exaggeration to say that those islands were made of guano. The Kingdom of Woka was surrounded by the ocean. There were many people in the Kingdom of Woka, and the only place for those seabirds to settle was on those islands. As a result, the accumulation of guano over many years made the guano content on them frighteningly high.

"I didn't believe it at first, but Kaido and Lily assured me that it was true. Lily even brought a scientist who was incredibly fat, and that guy named Louis Seth came over to kill him on the spot. You don't know that when the scientist named Quinn saw those uninhabited islands, he almost fell to his knees."

Duo Luo looked at the expression of the Minister of Logistics and smiled without surprise. After all, let alone the Minister of Logistics, even he was so out of control when he knew about this. Duo Luo was afraid that the Minister of Logistics would not believe it, so he handed a contract to the Minister of Logistics. When the Minister of Logistics saw the estimated annual income in the contract, he jumped up with excitement.

"Hahahahahaha! Great! Great! The fortunes have turned! Commander Duo Luo! We're rich! We're rich! This year's earnings are enough for us to fight wars for ten years! Hahahahahaha!"

The logistics minister wanted to jump up and kiss Dora now. He knew that he couldn't change Dora's mind, and he also knew that Dora had his own plans. The previous inquiry was actually more to help those old brothers to ask if Dora had changed his original intention. Since it was a foregone conclusion that he would not withdraw from the World Government, his biggest headache was actually the issue of handing over the Tianshang Gold. But now! He no longer has to worry!
"Let's not talk about this for now. We don't have the technology to process this kind of thing. We will have to cooperate with Kaido and others at that time. We don't know what the final result will be. It's not good to let others know too early. But please tell everyone about joining the World Government so that they don't think too much. I will not do anything to betray everyone. If I wanted wealth and glory, I could have stayed in the family and didn't come out."

Dora also knew that many people had complaints since he said he would not withdraw from the membership of the World Government, but there were too many things he needed to deal with, so he had never had the chance to speak out. Now that he had explained it clearly to the Minister of Logistics, he asked him to help him convey it. After all, the Minister of Logistics was also a very prestigious person in the rebel army, so it was appropriate for him to help him explain.

"Don't worry, I understand. Telling them before things are finalized may cause some people to make blind guesses. If it turns out to be different from what some people think, the result may not be good. Rather than getting into trouble later, it's better to wait until things are finalized before talking about it."

The logistics minister also understood what Duo Luo was worried about, and gave him a thumbs up and said with a smile.

"I know it's easy to tell you this, so let's leave it at that for now. I still have to go and argue with those officials of the World Government. Sigh, I don't know when I can get a good night's sleep."

Duo Luo patted the logistics minister's shoulder and said.

"You should also be careful and don't overwork yourself. You are the only one who can take charge of the situation now. After all, your vision is not comparable to that of us former soldiers. Don't overwork yourself to the point of hurting yourself."

The logistics director said as he looked at the extremely obvious black circles on Duo Luo's face.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. For the sake of the Woka Kingdom, I can't just fall down like this."

Dora smiled and pushed open the door in front of him. Inside the room, the World Government officials who had been waiting for a long time were sitting in their seats and looking at Dora who came in.
