One Piece: Fist of the World.

Chapter 215 After the War
"This is all we can do for now. It shouldn't have much impact on your actions."

Luo put away his abilities and gathered up the equipment that had been placed aside.

Cyrus climbed up from the operating table, touched his left leg, his eyes full of disbelief.

Five years ago, during the battle when the Don Quixote family invaded, his left leg was cut off. After that, even though he was turned into a toy by the enemy's ability, he was only a one-legged toy soldier.

Cyrus was extremely happy to be able to recover to normal and make Rebecca remember him again. He thought he would spend the rest of his life in this disabled state. After all, even the power of the [Healing Fruit] could not restore his left leg that had been broken for several years.

I didn't expect that this ship doctor possessed such incredible medical skills.

"This is nothing short of a miracle!"

Cyrus stood up and stretched his body.

It was clearly not his own body, but one that the other party had intercepted from somewhere else. However, when it moved, he did not feel any sluggishness, as if it had always been like this.

"Great!"

Rebecca, who was waiting nearby, excitedly threw herself into Cyrus' arms.

After Cyrus was turned into a toy, everyone forgot about him, but he always stayed by Rebecca's side, taking care of her, and teaching her how to fight and protect herself.

After Cyrus recovered, Rebecca also remembered everything about her father.

Looking at the father and daughter hugging each other in front of him, Luo's mouth curled up slightly, then quickly returned to his cold look, and he left the room directly, leaving the space to them.

Outside the room, the people of Dressrosa were busy building their home.

Although the battle with Kaido and the Beasts Pirates took place in Green Bit, the battles with other members of the Donquixote Family were all fought inside the city, especially the battle between Xiaqi and Pica, which affected a huge area and destroyed countless buildings.

However, the enthusiastic people of Dressrosa did not hate the members of the Rod Pirates.

After Doflamingo's true identity was revealed and the memories of their families reappeared in countless people's minds, they were left with only gratitude towards Rhodes and his crew.

If Rhodes and his gang had not appeared and defeated Doflamingo, they didn't know how long they would have lived in such ignorance. Everyone might have been turned into a toy without knowing it, disappearing in the memories of their family and friends, and then working day and night in the underground toy house until the end of their lives.

Not to mention, after the battle, Rhodes and his gang still provided them with support in various aspects.

It can be said that Rhodes and his group are just as popular in Dressrosa as the original Don Quixote family was.

"Good afternoon, Dr. Luo!"

"Dr. Luo, thank you for your hard work!"

"Doctor Luo, you are treating patients again. You are so kind!"

When the citizens of Dressrosa saw Law, they all greeted him warmly.

After the war, this doctor used his miraculous medical skills to save countless people. No matter how serious the injuries were, they could all be saved in his hands, and he won the respect of most of the people in Dressrosa.

"Oh, so handsome!"

"Doctor Luo, can I have dinner with you tonight?"

There were many enthusiastic and open-minded beauties who directly attacked Luo, danced around him, and presented him with flowers and love.

Dressrosa is a country of love and passion. The women here are sexy, hot, and passionate. They never hide their feelings and are not shy at all when it comes to the ones they like.

Dr. Luo, who looks cold but is kind-hearted, has become the object of admiration for most women.

Surrounded by many women, although Luo remained indifferent on his face, a hint of panic flashed in his eyes.

"ROOM!"

The next moment, a light blue circle of light expanded, and Luo's figure instantly disappeared from the spot, leaving behind a lost sexy girl.

"Hahahaha! I thought you would be kept by those enthusiastic girls."

In the palace, as soon as Luo appeared, he heard Rhodes' loud laughter, which made his eyes even more embarrassed.

When Luo's eyes swept over him, the smile on Rhodes' face disappeared instantly and he put on a serious look.

"The treatment of the civilians injured in the war has been completed, right? It's a good opportunity for us to discuss our next steps together."

As Rhodes finished speaking, a group of companions gathered around him. Robin, Bakara and Kosa took out their notebooks, while Nelu pushed a whiteboard over and pasted some materials on it.

"First, King Riku has been restored to the throne and has once again become the king of Dressrosa. He has also been recognized by the World Government."

After Rod spoke with the Five Elders, King Riku contacted the World Government the next day and explained the situation in Dressrosa. The World Government quickly recognized the other party's identity and allowed it to continue to retain its status as a member state of the World Government.

For the World Government, as long as a country can afford to pay the sky-high gold, it is a good member state.

Of course, as a member state of the World Government, the member states will be protected by the navy, but at the same time, they must obey the deployment and command of the World Government.

However, the current situation in Dressrosa is somewhat different. Both King Riku and the World Government know that Dressrosa is now the territory of the Rod Pirates.

"We have also been recognized by the World Government to establish a security company that can undertake the security of individuals or countries."

This is actually the same concept as the big pirate groups in the New World planting flags and occupying territories. The so-called security company is just a layer of skin that makes the actions of the Rod Pirate Group legal and avoids direct conflict with the navy.

Although the World Government will cancel the bounty on one of the Shichibukai once he becomes one, this does not mean that the Shichibukai can expand their power without restraint.

Even Doflamingo, with the identity of a former Celestial Dragon and holding some secrets that are enough to threaten the World Government, did not dare to engage in arms trade openly, but instead carried it out secretly in the underground world under the identity of Joker.

Not only that, even the sphere of influence they controlled was limited to Dressrosa and did not continue to expand outward.

Generally speaking, if a pirate group can sail to the New World, it means that they have defeated more than 90% of the pirates in this world. The pirates after entering the New World are obviously different from before.

In the Four Seas and even in the first half of the Grand Line, pirates were just pirates, wandering and robbing on the sea in their pirate ships, living a life of uncertainty.

In the New World, due to the deliberate guidance of the World Government, the pirate groups fight each other for limited territory and resources, just like raising insects, letting them devour and grow stronger, and finally forming forces similar to separatist warlords.

The Four Emperors Pirate Group was born under this model!

Each of the Four Emperors has a large number of pirate groups affiliated with him, and a large number of islands are under the name of the Four Emperors, surviving under the flags of the Four Emperors.

Not only the Four Emperors, but even those pirate groups that are slightly inferior to the Four Emperors, as long as they are strong enough, will occupy multiple islands and plant their own flags.

The islands with flags planted on them will be protected by the pirate group, and in return, these islands will also pay a sum of money to the pirate group.

This is essentially no different from the heavenly gold collected by the world government.

As the most powerful force in the world, the World Government will use the power of CP to instigate fights among the pirates of the New World, and then occasionally take action to eliminate some pirates who pose a huge threat, thus controlling the stability of this world.

Nowadays, four sea emperors have appeared in the New World. Each of them possesses the power to destroy the world. They have a large number of pirate groups following them and have the power to stir up the world.

As the Tyrant Fist Rod who could defeat Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, in a one-on-one fight, he was a force that the World Government must strive for. He and his men were already a force that could break the balance. Rod saw this and made such a request to the Five Elders.

For the Five Elders, as long as they can maintain the balance of power between the Navy, the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and the Four Emperors, a little tolerance towards Lothar Island is acceptable.

"Next, we'll plant our flags on the surrounding islands!"

Rhodes slammed the table and decided on the next course of action.

He knew that the World Government had been asking Vegapunk to research artificial weapons that could replace the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and with Vegapunk's technology, even without Kuma, it was only a matter of time before he could develop similar humanoid weapons.

Once Vegapunk's research is completed, the Shichibukai will be abandoned by the World Government.

What he needs to do is to quickly expand his power before that.

Not only his own strength, but also the power under his command!

This is his first step to seize hegemony. With Dressrosa as the center, he wants to make the surrounding waters have only one voice!
"The Don Quixote family legacy has been sorted out."

Robin pushed up his glasses, flipped open his notebook, and reported the situation.

"The forces that were originally attached to the Don Quixote family have been surrendered by us. Although we cannot fully trust them for the time being, there is no problem in maintaining basic operations."

The Don Quixote family has been operating in Dressrosa for so many years. In addition to the family cadres who were caught this time, there are also many grassroots members. Robin has been busy gathering these people during this period.

This is not difficult. After all, they are just some low-level members. It is hard to say whether they have any loyalty, not to mention that most pirates are just profit-seeking people.

When the Don Quixote Family fell and the Rod Pirates wanted to recruit them, these people came over without any hesitation.

In addition to wealth, the most important industries of the Don Quixote family in Dressrosa are its weapons manufacturing factories and the smuggling channels in the underground world.

If you want to take over these channels and forces as quickly as possible, the easiest way is to gather the original staff.

And with the presence of Violet and baby-5, two former Don Quixote family cadres, this work went very smoothly.

only···

"The Don Quixote family's business is not limited to the New World, but spreads across the four seas and the Grand Route."

Robin looked up at Rhodes.

"If we really want to do what he did originally and sell the goods all over the world, I'm afraid we have to send people to all corners of the world to subdue the forces outside the Don Quixote family one by one."

Rhodes nodded slightly.

In the original timeline, five years later the Straw Hat Pirates will enter the New World, and at the same time, Aokiji from the West Flower Country and the Revolutionary Army will enter Dressrosa together to investigate matters related to the arms trade.

The Don Quixote family's arms trade has long spread all over the world.

However, this is also expected. After all, he is one of the kings of the underground world. If his influence is limited to the new world, he is not qualified to be called the king of the underground world.

"Among those who were originally turned into toys by the Don Quixote family's ability users, many also want to join us."

Robin looked at Rhodes with inquiring eyes.

“Let them join!”

Rhodes nodded without hesitation.

Even the original members of the Don Quixote family were accepted, and Rhodes had no objection to accepting these people.

As for the quality of these people, we can slowly eliminate and screen them later.

"King Riku is very cooperative."

Bakara reported on the matters for which he was responsible.

"Dressrosa will give us Greenbit as our base."

Greenbit is an isolated island located in the north of Dressrosa, connected to the main island by a steel suspension bridge. However, hundreds of years ago, schools of fighting fish appeared in the waters around the suspension bridge. These fish were extremely ferocious and would attack passing ships. Even ships passing by the suspension bridge would be attacked by the fighting fish, so the island gradually became deserted.

The previous battle between Rod and Kaido took place on this island.

Because no one has lived there for many years, the island has become like a primeval forest. However, during the battle between Rod and Kaido, the giant trees on the island have been destroyed.

"We have already arranged a large number of people to start construction work there. The little people who originally lived underground have also joined us, and now we are transforming Greenbit together."

Rhodes nodded.

Greenbit was now a deserted place, and he certainly wouldn't live there permanently.

But now the Rod Pirates have begun to expand, and many more members will join in the future, so they must have a place that belongs entirely to them to accommodate those energetic pirates.

Moreover, many important subsequent things can also be carried out there.

For example...

“I want a research institute!”

Gray rubbed his hands together and put forward his own request.

After a year at sea, he finally has a stable place to do his research!

Once the construction on GreenBit is completed, he will put into practice all the inspirations he had recorded before!

"You can discuss these matters slowly later."

Rhodes looked around at his companions.

"Robin, Liluka, you go find Violet later and screen the people who have come to the Don Quixote family and check the people in important positions."

"Kosa, please keep an eye on the construction over at Greenbit. Gray will be with you."

"Pekin, Xiaqi, Bonis, please pay attention to Doflamingo's original arms business and try to preserve his original channels and business. This is an important way for us to expand our intelligence network."

Rhodes looked at his companions.

"Once we have completely absorbed the Don Quixote family's legacy, it will be time for us to expand further!"

The latest episode of One Piece is a bit explosive.

Im is doing something new again, killing Satan remotely. Why does the existence of the Five Elders feel so strange? It gives me a sense of déjà vu of Naruto's Pain, and a bit like the Holy Spirit, the personal guards of the Grim Reaper. I really don't know what WT teacher will do in the end. The serialized fan fiction is really being written with great caution, for fear of being backstabbed. I'll finish this book and write about the Grim Reaper in the next one.
