The Royal Fleet doesn't just defend Alabasta"
"A Kingdom of Justice that never compromises!"
"Marshal Zephyr: True Justice will never put a nation at risk of destruction"
"Charlotte Family will go against the power of Poseidon"
"Less than a month after the war in Erume, another wave rises in Alabasta!"
Stunning news spread across all the seas. Sales of mobile phones surged due to recent major news events. The total number of users almost reached 80 million!
[If you exceed 100 million users, you will gain another upgrade for the fruit]
It was still unknown when the Charlotte Family would take action or what actions they would take. But Ezekiel knows that, to begin with, this pirate band needs to set sail and approach his coastline...
Was the line of defense with super Sea Kings, which he had long deployed along the coast, strong enough? Certainly, and no matter how hard they tried, none of the Four Emperors could break through this defense and reach Alabasta!
The only thing the Charlotte Family can do is deprive Alabasta of its control over the sea.
Meanwhile, discussions were also starting in the World Government.
"Can we use this opportunity to attack Alabasta?" one of the Five Elders with a sword said.
"Of course, although we can't destroy Alabasta, it's a good opportunity to attack their Desert Black prison to free Edward Weevil." "I think he is the best candidate to replace Crocodile in the Shichibukai," responded another of the Five Elders.
"The main thing in this matter is not to miscalculate. Even if the King of Alabasta provokes us, the outcome at this time may not be what we want to see. He has already paid attention to this issue."
Thus, the World Government waits for Alabasta and the Charlotte Family to start a war. But... although everyone eagerly awaited this event, five days passed and Big Mom was still silent.
As for Ezekiel , he was already selecting candidates for the position responsible for the Taobao store.
In Alabasta, free labor emerged. In the past, people had to spend a lot of time acquiring water resources, but now, with water supplied 24 hours a day, many workers were freed from labor.
Many merchants selling haberdashery and fruits emerged. But if the World Government limits Alabasta's trade, people will not be able to sell their goods. In that case, Ezekiel feared that the people wouldn't be able to pay for their mobile phones.
In the past, it was difficult to find a potential limit of 20 GB, but now, with the population of Alabasta united, combined with Will's high reputation, it became easier to gather people.
And for a new task, Ezekiel decided to find Koza, the leader of the rebel army.
Zephyr sat in his office browsing the news headlines, occasionally stepping out to see what new programs were airing on Ocean TV.
Several television shows created on Ocean TV successfully captured the audience's interest. As a result, the video production industry in Alabasta also saw significant development.
"What is this?" he suddenly noticed a strange application called Taobao appearing in the phone's interface. - This is something new!
After clicking on the app, an introductory video appeared.
"Treasure hunting at sea, find many surprises."
"Free choice of goods to purchase, only a mirror is required, and items will be immediately delivered to your home."
"10% discount on Devil Fruits."
"Sellers can apply to open an online store, a mobile store, your best choice for sales."
A store on a mobile phone?
For Zephyr, it seemed a bit strange to buy goods through a mobile phone.
He thought about it and clicked on the app interface. There were only five shops, mainly selling various branded products from Alabasta.
Dried fruits in the desert cost 5 new dollars per bag. I like these, - Zephyr decided to place an order and followed the prompts.
Zephyr found a mirror, and the mirror transformed into a warehouse full of goods. A familiar man was smoking and unloading merchandise. Was that Koza? Zephyr greeted him and took the bag. The well-packaged dried fruits were handed directly from the mirror!
Is this... the ability of a Devil Fruit?
"Is that Marshal Zephyr?""Koza saw that Zephyr was stunned and greeted him.
Even though it was just launched, the app had already begun to be used. Although there are less than ten people with the Mirror Fruit ability, it's working.
'Are you... selling dried fruits?' Zephyr's expression twisted.
Koza is an excellent soldier, and he's engaging in trade? Even with such a high-end sales method, it's a waste of energy!
'I invited you to the Fleet, you didn't join, and now you're selling dried fruits?!'
'Marshal, times have changed. It's better to sell dried fruits. I suggest you pay directly through the mobile banking app,' Koza advised.
Zephyr completed the purchase and stood there in a daze.
'I don't care about Taobao. It's just a store. How is it any different from people going out and buying things directly? What's the point? It's a waste of talent!'"
Even the Marshal, close to the King, thought so, not to mention others.
Countless agents of the World Government, who constantly monitored Alabasta, conducted extensive research on the launch of the new app and finally concluded: this app is essentially useless, as there is no point for people to buy things from home.
They reported this to the World Government and the Five Elders, but after reviewing the materials, the Five Elders ultimately decided that it was meaningless.
However, it's not entirely pointless. At least one thing they confirmed is that Ezekiel indeed has the ability to copy the Devil Fruits of other users and give them to other people.
But this seems to come with many limitations. First of all, people need to be at a sufficiently close distance. Secondly, not everyone appears to be able to accept such power. If everyone could gain such power, then why doesn't he just create an army of Logia fruit users?
Ezekiel smiled; how could these fools understand his power?
In the future, they will regret going against Ezekiel
