New World, Fortis Kingdom, Royal Palace, 2nd Floor, Lounge.
At this time in the lounge there are Ars, Lowellmina, Kaguya, Jouichirou, Gin, Shiina and also Kojira who are sitting relaxing and doing various activities they have.
"What are you doing, Ars?" Shiina asked with great interest.
"I'm calculating how many farm animals we will order to the Prodance Kingdom. I need to regulate how many orders we will order so that there is no loss of control due to the number of animal orders that exceed the limit of the number that can be accommodated by us later"
"Hmmm… If I'm not mistaken, the area that will later be used as a farm is 10 square kilometers in size, right?" Kaguya asked with interest, "How are you going to divide the territory?"
"I have divided it into three regions. The area where cattle farms will be built is 5 square kilometers while the area where goat and chicken farms will be built is 2.5 square kilometers."
"The cow territory is bigger?" Gin asked while raising his eyebrows.
"Yes. The need for meat is very dominant in this world. If we divide the region according to the same size. The number of cows that we can raise is only a small amount. Besides, the profit in selling beef is more than selling chicken or mutton." Ars said calmly, "I want to prioritize cows over these two animals."
"So how many cows can we raise according to your calculations?" Jouichirou asked with great interest.
"I have arranged for the construction of each cowshed to take up 1000 square meters. With such a size, each cow pen will be able to accommodate as many as 150 cows. The area for the construction of cattle farms which will later be used is 4 square kilometers. That means we can build around 400 cowsheds which in total we can cultivate as many as 60,000 cows."
"60,000 cows, huh?" Kojiro muttered, "That's a huge amount."
"What price will you give for the sale of this beef, Ars?" Kaguya asked with great interest.
"Meat sales will calculate grams or can be calculated using the standard 100 grams for the minimum selling price. We can arrange for every 100 grams of beef to be worth 900 berries and this is specifically for citizens of our kingdom or kingdoms that have a cooperative relationship with our kingdom. While the kingdom that does not have a cooperative relationship with us. We can set the price for the beef per 100 grams is 1100 berries. The price for the average beef in the world itself ranges from 1200 berries to 1500 berries for each gram. The price of beef is also influenced by the location of the sale. The more steps the location where the beef is sold. Then it will be more expensive too."
"900 berries? If every month we will slaughter 200 cows, we will produce at least 200 tons of beef. Then, for every 100 grams of beef, we sell an average of 900 berries for 100 grams of beef. That means we can earn as much as 1.8 billion berries" Kaguya said calmly
"1.8 billion berries?" Jouichirou whistled, "That's a huge amount just by calculating a month's income. If we can control the income for the sale of the beef every month like that. We can get an annual revenue of 21.6 billion berries"
Footsteps were heard walking towards the lounge.
"Finally I'm back" Hashirama said excitedly as he watched his friends gather, "Hey, you guys. I finally came back"
"Welcome back, Hashirama" Kaguya immediately greeted him, "How was the mission Ars gave you? Is it done?" Kaguya asked with great interest.
"I've finished it. The enemy it faces is quite weak." Hashirama said casually.
Simultaneously a notification sound is heard.
[Ding!]
[Happy! Currently your kingdom has been recognized by 17 million living beings. Your popularity points will increase by 1 from now on!]
[Ding!]
[Happy! Currently your kingdom has been recognized by 18 million living beings. Your popularity points will increase by 1 from now on!]
[Ding]
[Happy! Currently your kingdom has been recognized by 19 million living beings. Your popularity points will increase by 1 from now on!]
"What's the matter, Ares?" Lowellmina who first saw the change in facial expression from Ars immediately asked with a slightly worried tone. This also immediately got the attention of everyone who was there.
"No need to worry" Ars immediately woke up from his shock, "I just received information from Elie that my current points have increased to 20. Elizabello II seems to have added our royal name to her victory speech"
"Really?" Hashirama asked with interest, "He is really a good person"
"By the way, how about our cooperation talk, Hashirama? When can we do it?" Kaguya asked with great interest.
"Oh yes. We can do it anytime. The current state of their kingdom has not suffered any damage and they are ready to discuss a cooperative relationship with us."
"Really?" Ars asked then continued, "Then tomorrow we will have a cooperative relationship discussion. Let them stabilize the situation there to make it more comfortable for us to talk about our cooperation."
Ars gaze looked at Lowellmina "You get ready, tomorrow you have to do your job well"
"Stay cool. I will definitely do it"
Ars' gaze stared at Hashirama, "You accompany him, Hashirama. Be the guard tomorrow. Don't let anyone dare to attack him. If there is, just finish it off"
"I understand." Hashirama nodded.
Ars gaze then looked at Kaguya and Shiina, "If you two want to come along. No problem. You can have fun there by shopping for the things you want. Also use this time as your vacation time."
"Really?" Shiina asked excitedly.
"Yes. You can get it"
"Ars, what about us?" Jouichirou asked excitedly.
"You can come along. However, if you go You have to prepare all the ingredients that you will cook later in the day. So that when you come back. You don't need to prepare the ingredients and prepare the dish right away."
"Hehe… I see. We will definitely do it" Jouichirou said happily.
Immediately, Ars's face changed again because there were so many notification sounds. The notifications totaled more than 20 notifications. This change in Ars' face was also seen by all of them.
"Another notice?" Kaguya asked back.
Ares nodded, "Yes. However, this is the last time I get such notification."
"Last time? What do you mean?" Gin asked.
"I previously communicated with Elie and asked how many popularity points I could get. Elie told me that I will only get a maximum of 50 popularity points and currently my popularity points have reached their highest point and will not get any more."
"That means…" Kojiro said.
Ars nodded, "Our current kingdom has been recognized by the entire world. Hashirama has also been known thanks to him taking part in this war. The news by now has probably spread all over the world."
Ars' gaze stared at Hashirama, "You are now a famous person, Hashirama. Even your popularity will be even higher thanks to you defeating Whitebeard." Ars paused for a moment and continued, "I'm interested, will you get a bounty especially if you interfere in a battle involving a kingdom that is under the affiliation of the World Government"
"A bounty, huh? Is it possible that I can get a higher bounty than Whitebeard?" Hashirama thought for a moment.
"How much is Whitebeard's bounty, Ars?" Shiina asked with great interest.
"5 billion more" Ars said calmly, "I don't think it's possible for your bounty to be higher than Whitebeard, Hashirama. Even if you defeated him, your bounty would definitely be below it for some reason. If I guess, your possible bounty if the World Government releases it is in the range of 3 to 4 billion berries"
"3 to 4 billion berries? That's quite a number." Shiina said with a slightly surprised face.
"Why is your face so sad, Hashirama?" Lowellmina asked strangely.
"Why is my bounty lower compared to Whitebeard?" Hashirama muttered sadly.
"Really? Are you sad just because of that?" Kaguya asked strangely.
"That's natural Kaguya" Ars said calmly, "Everyone in this world surely if they were a fugitive from the World Government would be very happy if they had a higher bounty than their acquaintances. A bounty can also be said as a symbol of status or honor for a man."
"That's still weird to me," said Kaguya.
As Ars said. The Kingdom of Fortis is now well known to everyone thanks to the news spread by the World Economic Journal newspaper. Everyone currently knows about the kingdom called the Fortis Kingdom. They also currently knew by the identity of who had previously defeated Whitebeard.
Grand Line, Water Seven Island, Number 1 Shipyard.
"What?!" Pauli, who had just read the newspaper he had bought, immediately shouted in surprise, "The person… The one who defeated Whitebeard was Hashirama?!"
This immediately caught the attention of everyone present. They immediately gathered around Pauli and their faces immediately changed upon reading the news. Everyone there had met Hashirama and they didn't expect such a calm and small person to have such strong power.
Rob Luccy and Kaku as well as their facial expressions immediately changed reading the news.
New World, Yukiyuri Island.
"So… The person who defeated Whitebeard was Hashirama Senju" Shanks said in a deep tone as his eyes focused on Hashirama's photo in the newspaper.
"He looks very young, Boss. His age is almost like his age, Ace" Yasoop said calmly.
"What do you think, Ben?" Shanks asked as he looked at Ben Backman.
"Compared to the news of the identity of the person who defeated Whitebeard. I'm more interested in news about the origin of Hashirama Senju. I have never heard of a kingdom called the Kingdom of Fortis" Ben Beckman said calmly.
"Hearing you say such a thing, I've never heard of it either" Shanks muttered under his breath, "Send our intelligence squad and look for information on the Fortis Kingdom. Whatever information you get. Immediately tell me."
New World, Sphinx Island, Exterior,
"Oyaji, there is news about Hashirama" Marko who had just bought the newspaper said excitedly and it immediately caught the attention of everyone there.
"News regarding Hashirama? What is Hashirama doing, Marko?" Ace asked excitedly.
"Gurarara~ Read the news, Marko. I'm interested in what he's doing." Whitebeard said excitedly.
Marko immediately read the news about Hashirama. Everyone present there listened intently.
"As expected of him. Can defeat 200 thousand troops in just under 5 minutes. That person's strength is truly terrifying." Joz said in a tone of praise.
"Gurarara~ As expected of that person. Looks like I can't be lazy either. Otherwise, our next battle, I will definitely lose" Whitebeard said excitedly.
"There's no way Oyaji will lose the next battle" Vista said excitedly, "Oyaji will definitely win that battle!"
"That's right. Hashirama can defeat 200 thousand troops in less than 5 minutes. Oyaji can do better than him" Joz said nodding.
Even though the news was about Hashirama who wasn't actually the crew of Whitebeard's pirate group. However, everyone there had considered Hashirama their friend. After all, they were previously very happy with Hashirama's existence and even Whitebeard if not for Hashirama having joined the Fortis Kingdom at this time, Whitebeard had a plan to invite Hashirama to join together by inheriting his position later because in terms of strength and personality, Hashirama was the most appropriate candidate.
New World, Onigashima Island.
"Worororor~ So, the one who defeated that old man was someone named Hashirama Senju?" Kaidou who was currently lying down with his whole body bandaged laughed excitedly, "King! Tell our entire intelligence squad to find out information about this Fortis Kingdom. If there is the slightest information about this kingdom. You tell me as soon as possible."
"Okay, Kaidou-san"
It's different from the wound that Kaidou got. King's damage was less and he was currently able to move as usual.
New World, Whole Cake Island.
"Mamamamama… What do you think if this person named Hashirama Senju becomes your new father?" Big Mom asked with an excited look while looking at her children who were currently with her in the park having breakfast together.
"Mama, won't that person be paired with Big Sister Smoothy?" flame asked in confusion.
"Mamamama… That was the plan. However, if he is more interested and wants to marry me. I don't have a problem with that either. Mamamama…" Big Mom said excitedly then looked at Katakuri, "Send our troops to find out Fortis Kingdom's information. Also, if you have found the location of this kingdom's kingdom. You guys send this marriage proposal to Hahsirama Senju. He can choose to marry me or marry Smoothy. He is free to choose"
"Okay, Mama" Katakuri nodded.
Grand Line, Karuigana Island, Castle.
"Too bad… If that person is a swordsman. He must be a good swordsman." Mihawk said calmly as he narrowed his eyes, "The Fortis Kingdom… There might be some great swordsmen there."
Mihawk immediately stood up from his seat and then went to his room to prepare himself to go on a voyage in search of the Fortis Kingdom.
New World, White Island, Baltigo, Office of the Leader of the Revolutionary Army.
"I believe you two have read today's latest news" Dragon said seriously to Sabo and Koala who were currently standing in front of him, "I want you two to go do some investigation related to Fortis Kingdom. Look for information about this kingdom and also find its location. If you two have found the location of this kingdom. You see, can this kingdom establish a cooperative relationship with us?"
Dragon or his full name is Monkey D. Dragon. He is a Leader of the Revolutionary Army, the son of Monkey D. Garp, a Former Marine Admiral Candidate, as well as the most wanted person by the current World Government.
"Yes, Leader" Sabo and Koala nodded simultaneously.
Sabo is a Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army or can be said as the second person of the Revolutionary Army.
While Koala is one of the top brass of the Revolutionary Army with a position as a fish-man martial arts trainer.
Red Line, Marijoa, Pengua Castle, Gorosei Office.
"Is there still no whereabouts of the Fortis Kingdom found?" Masato asked a CP-0 agent who was currently kneeling in front of him.
"I apologize, Masato-sama. However, at the moment we still can't find the whereabouts of that kingdom. We've been trying to find out through Whitebeard's pirate group. They also don't seem to know the location of this kingdom's whereabouts."
"You trash!" Yasunori immediately said angrily, "The training we gave you guys was in vain. Just by looking for one kingdom you can't? You trash!"
Suddenly someone walked into the room and immediately knelt down, "Report! Gorosei-sama. We just got a den-den mushi call from the King of Prodance. They told us from now on they will be leaving the World Government affiliation."
Gorosei was immediately surprised to hear this information. They didn't expect that the Prodance Kingdom would actually sever any Affiliate ties with them. This is a loss for them especially the Prodance Kingdom is one of the biggest tax-generating empires every year.
