Starting from the pirates, pushing the world.

Chapter 2818 Elizabeth II's Grand Plan!
Bang sighed softly.

I casually picked up the cup of tea in front of me, took a small sip, and felt the bitterness and sweetness intertwine on my tongue.

however.

For the other people in the private room.

The wolf's private duel was nothing more than amusing news to dabble in during leisure time.

Most people approached it with a relaxed, spectator-like attitude.

Shuilong leaned lazily against the depths of the Island Cloud sofa.

Her long, slender legs were casually crossed over the edge of the coffee table in front of her.

He casually tossed a bright red apple in his hand.

He chuckled lightly, making a few sarcastic remarks about the arrogance of the hungry wolf.

The Vest-wearing Venerable One crossed his arms over his chest.

His resolute face was full of serious expression.

He was exchanging techniques for using different muscle groups with the Chogokin Kuroko beside him.

Black Light chuckled and nodded in agreement, occasionally offering his own insights.

Not long after.

The buzz surrounding Garou gradually died down.

Sitting in the center of the group was the vice president of the Martial Arts Association.

Elizabeth II, the former King of Prodens.

He gently held a crystal-clear wine glass in his hand.

The glass is filled with a precious wine called 'Dragon Wine'.

This liquor, produced in the world of Teigu, on the continent of Shured, is amber in color.

The soft lighting in the private room reflected a mesmerizing glow.

It exudes a rich and domineering aroma.

Queen Elizabeth II gently swirled her wine glass.

Listen to the crisp sound of ice cubes hitting glass.

His gaze swept calmly and profoundly over the crowd.

His gaze swept across the faces of the Tank Top Master, Super Alloy Blacklight, Water Dragon, Bakuzan, Bachai, Gerhard, and others in turn.

"Gentlemen."

Queen Elizabeth II finally spoke.

His voice was deep and magnetic, carrying the dignity and composure unique to those who had long held positions of power.

"Today, taking advantage of this rare opportunity, I have something important I'd like to discuss with everyone."

The VIP box fell silent immediately.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and turned their attention to the vice president.

Queen Elizabeth II took a deep breath, organized her thoughts, and slowly said, "I plan to build an unprecedented, state-of-the-art sports and fitness center on Prodens Island."

"I want to make it the city with the most vibrant and professional starfish sports atmosphere."

"Therefore, I am here today to formally invite everyone to join this program."

Upon hearing these words...

The people present looked at each other, their faces showing slight surprise.

To understand why Queen Elizabeth II suddenly proposed such a plan.

This brings us to the awkward situation that Prodens Island is currently facing.

Since the World Government reformed the Kingdom of Prodens into the Prodens City Island.

Elizabeth II promptly declined the invitation to become mayor.

He then strongly recommended his most trusted strategist, Vasco da Gama, to the World Government.

He himself devoted himself wholeheartedly to the affairs of the Martial Arts Association.

But ideals are often grand, while reality is often harsh.

Over the years, the development of Prodens Island has been extremely difficult.

It could even be described as bleak.

The reason is simple: the Kingdom of Prodens has always been known for its wars.

Their economic pillars are exporting military force and participating in conflicts with neighboring countries to plunder various resources.

But now world governments are strengthening their control.

Who would dare to start a war so casually?
Internal wars within the starfish were completely prohibited.

Prodens Island naturally lost its biggest source of income.

The development of the entire city gradually stagnated.

Without the benefits of war, most young adults either join the military or go out to become adventurers.

Or move to Duel City and become a duelist.

This once martial city is like an old lion whose teeth have been pulled out.

They seem lost and disoriented in the new era.

Let's take a look at their 'neighbor' city island of Dressrosa.

That was truly a booming and rapidly changing scene.

Although Dressrosa once took pride in its 'Amphitheatre'.

Because of the sudden emergence of Duel City, it has stolen a lot of the limelight and popularity.

But they have a rich and profound cultural heritage.

Dressrosa has long been known as the 'Land of Love and Passion'.

The food, clothing, flowers, dance, and gladiator traditions are equally outstanding.

The city boasts a rich cultural heritage and abundant tourism resources.

There is also the rather rare life of the little people, who are known as 'fairies'.

This unique ethnic culture also attracts countless tourists.

Later, the World Government even established the important 'Agricultural Academy' on Greenbite, an isolated island north of Dressrosa and the homeland of the Tontatta race.

Therefore, this is the Dressrosa of today.

It can be said that life is thriving, the economy is booming, and the people are living in peace and contentment.

It has become a shining pearl in the latter half of the Grand Line.

Seeing how well our neighbors are doing.

As the spiritual leader of Prodens Island, Elizabeth II and the current mayor, Dagama, are both deeply concerned and anxious.

A while ago.

Vasco da Gama found him with a worried look on his face, and the two talked all night in his study.

They racked their brains trying to find a suitable niche industry for Prodens Island.

To revitalize this island city.

Finally, Vasco da Gama's brilliant mind had a flash of inspiration.

He thought of the opponent's signature move—the King's Fist.

“Your Majesty… no, Your Excellency,”

Vasco da Gama was so excited that he danced with joy, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

"It is already widely known that your 'King's Fist' requires at least an hour of warm-up."

"The people of Proden are inherently martial and generally have a self-disciplined habit of maintaining physical fitness."

"The world government has always been in a state of external expansion."

"The people of Haixing have a strong need to improve their personal strength and physical fitness."

"Then why don't we vigorously develop 'sports' and 'fitness'?"

Vasco da Gama's idea was like a flash of lightning in the darkness, instantly illuminating Elizabeth II's train of thought.

Exercise and fitness!
The key points are beyond what Vasco da Gama mentioned.

Within the Martial Arts Association, there is a group of strong individuals who enjoy modern fitness methods.

If we can win them over and use them as a valuable asset.

It will definitely attract a large number of people and a steady stream of funds.

It is based on such careful consideration.

Queen Elizabeth II only unveiled this long-planned recruitment scheme today.

After a brief silence, the atmosphere in the private room...

Subtle changes are beginning to occur.

For Shuilong, Baoshan, and others, this might just be a business plan that sounds somewhat novel.

However, for Tank Top Master and Super Alloy Blacklight, who have always advocated fitness and regarded muscles as life.

Elizabeth II's words were like heavenly music.

Their eyes lit up almost at the same time.

The Vest-wearing Venerable One sat up abruptly.

His signature tight-fitting vest was stretched taut by his explosive muscles.

It looked as if it might tear apart at any moment.

Actually, he had been planning this all along.

He originally planned to raise funds to open a gym on Flower Island, where the Martial Arts Association headquarters is located, as an activity base for the 'Vest Gang'.

He also took the opportunity to promote his 'vest mechanics' to the world.
