Whether they are Marines, pirates, nobles, civilians, or even the revolutionary army, they can achieve the circulation of funds through overt and underground financial organizations.
Even the World Government, Naval Headquarters and the Golden Emperor, several underworld emperors, are inseparable from his underground banking organization to conduct dark financial transactions.
It is because of the conflict between various forces and the use of Lu Feld, the underworld emperor, as the balance and transfer point that the open-face funds and underground dark funds can complete the unobstructed circulation.
The world government also often sends a check to Big News Morgans, so that Morgans can exaggerate the news or cover up certain news they don't want exposed.
Or send money to Doflamingo to go to the territory of Kaido of the Beasts to buy a huge amount of seastone for them.
All these transactions are due to the power of underground financial organizations. Even the world government can no longer do without this large network.
The World Government has also always wanted its spies to replace the position of Lu Feld and control the financial power of the underworld without derailing the underworld.
The World Government has trained Stussy, the Queen of the Pleasure District, to become one of the underworld emperors, making a lot of extra money and getting a lot of information.
In fact, they have long been eyeing other underworld emperors and wish to replace them one by one.
But the underworld is a gray area between the World Government and all pirates. The important thing is that most would rather accept the weaker pirates to become the underworld emperors than allow the powerful World Government to continue to get involved and become even bigger.
Otherwise, pirates and underground organizations wouldn't be able to resist the World Government.
When the underworld emperors went to Totto Land for Big Mom's tea party, the Queen of the Pleasure District Stussy's first target to kill in a sneak attack was Lu Feld, who controlled countless funds.
Even Big News Morgans, a big talker who often doesn't give World Government respect, his priority is not as high as that of the God of Fortune Lu Feld.

When he heard that the person on the other side of the phone was Lu Feld, Basire showed a smile.
This guy with a huge amount of money had never contacted the Big Daddy Pirates before. He always sent some kittens and puppies to discuss cooperation with them, quite like the Yonkōs.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time, Mr. Feld. You, a noble man with many things to do, finally have time to talk to me, a newcomer!"
Basire put the money back into the cabin, then stood on the bow of the ship and had a good chat with the underworld emperor.
"So, you deliberately robbed the bank to lure me out? Tell me, what do you want to do?"
On the other side, Lu Feld chewed a cigar and said in a cold tone, not really caring much about the money, because most of the losses from the bank in Water Seven belonged to the World Government, and he only accounted for less than 10% of the profits.
However, he must not let the trend of robbing financial banks become popular. He must unite with the World Government to punish such actions severely. Even the Shichibukai must pay the price.
Otherwise, this financial business will not be able to continue in the future, and there will be pirates robbing banks everywhere.
"I didn't mean to rob, I just let the money flow, and it will eventually return to the underworld."
"Besides, I already handed half of the money to the World Government and Marines as tax from my legal plunder as a Shichibukai."
"After grabbing all this money, I just asked Naval Headquarters to help me pay for the intelligence fees."
"Speaking of which, my purpose is indeed to conduct some transactions with you."
"Mr. Feld, you who have both money and resources, are indeed a good partner, don't you think?"
Basire smiled faintly, and then looked at the battle below. Drake had rushed out of the reception hall and continued to launch fierce attacks on the crew of the Big Daddy Pirates.
And it seems that he was gradually approaching the gap between the buildings controlled by Kujaku, preparing to escape from Water Seven.
Basire doesn't want to take action against Drake now. After all, this guy is still the Naval Headquarters Rear Admiral, but after he betrays the Marine, he will be a good prey for the Big Daddy Pirates.
The ancient Allosaurus zoan fruit seems to have pretty good abilities.
However, Sengoku and Tsuru will always focus on Drake, the undercover pirate. If he takes action against him, he wonders if these two old timers will directly ask him for help or try to take revenge.
After a while, three more people joined the battle. They were several members of CP9, the werewolf Jabra, Kumadori who can control his hair to attack, and Fukurou.
Three CP9s, three Marine Rear Admirals, and several elite Marines fought back and forth with the Big Daddy Pirates, and soon fell into an anxious battle.
Fortunately, the main task of Kujaku and Prince Grus is to cover Drake's departure. If these three elite Rear Admirals and the Big Daddy Pirates fight to the death, Zoro and Lafitte will probably fight hard too.
Seeing the crew fighting fiercely, Basire was still talking to Lu Feld.
"Little kid Basire, what do you have? Could it be those memory alloys and the so-called rejuvenation potion?"
"Besides these two things, what else do you have?"
"If you don't give me a satisfactory answer, I will let you know what a total ban on the underworld means!"
Lu Feld's tone was still cold, and the things in Basire's hand could not tempt him at all.
Unless he can offer a permanent effect of the short-term rejuvenation potion, because he feels that the temporary effect is still a bit useless.
The shape memory alloy sold by the Big Daddy Pirates is much worse than the special shape memory armor made by Germa Technology. He also has some primitive shape memory metal, but the quantity is not as much as the memory alloy in Basire's hand.
"Pure gold that can make you immortal! How about it, are you interested in cooperation?"
Basire didn't care at all about the threat of the God of Fortune, and proceeded to mention something that these rich people could not refuse!
"...do you have the whereabouts of pure gold?"
Lu Feld's tone has indeed changed a lot, and he is still unable to believe it completely.
In fact, the Celestial Dragons and the underworld forces have been looking for the whereabouts of pure gold, but the legend from two hundred years ago seems to have vanished, and even the island where pure gold was created had half of it disappear.
"I know! But it will take three to five years to get it. How about it? Big boss, are you interested in investing? This is an opportunity to live forever we are talking about."
Basire's words seemed to be full of temptation, which made Lu Feld begin to feel excited.
"What evidence do you have? And what do you want?"
His tone became gentler, without any anger or coldness at all. If he could get pure gold, it wouldn't matter if he was robbed of a few more banks.
The God of Fortune Lu Feld, who already has endless wealth, just wants to live in this wonderful world forever, instead of dying of old age and turning into ashes.
