One month after the "Battle of the Interception".
Merchant ships from all over the world are making their way to the G-5 branch, heading towards New Greenbit.
According to the latest news from the "World Economy News", Greenbit will expand its foreign trade. Along with the unique "super-high-yield grains and seeds" from their royal family, they have also secured exclusive cooperation and authorization from G-5.
The mysterious G-5 alloy is now for sale!
This alloy was previously only available to Mariejois and the Marines! Even if a kingdom can buy it, it can't be purchased with just money. It requires either a top-tier kingdom or one with connections to Vice Admiral Dragon.
Rumor has it that even if JOKER, the "Emperor of the Underworld", wants to buy this alloy, he would have to pay an unimaginable price.
If you obtain this alloy, you can forge more powerful weapons!
It is said that the sales of these alloys are restricted and sold through auctions.
"Hurry up! We must get the first batch of alloy! Then we can defeat the 'rebels'!"
"It seems that the rebels have also sent people there!"
"Speed up! Allocate more funds!"
In addition to the alloys, Greenbit's grains and seeds are also sought after by many.
People may not need to fight, but they definitely need to eat.
Although the details of this mysterious grain are still unknown, no one doubts its authenticity.
After all, the news comes from the World Economy News Paper, and all of this must have been approved by that man.
There are rumors that "Big News" Morgans had been in and out of G-5 not long ago but left with a bruised face.
Strangely, Morgans, one of the "Emperors of the Underworld," did not mock the man afterward. Instead, he wholeheartedly advertised him.
Besides being an excellent Marine, the man also seemed to have many flaws.
He has vast amounts of wealth but is still obsessed with it. He has power far exceeding that of a Marine Vice Admiral but is still not satisfied. He blatantly controls a kingdom.
Killing Whitebeard Jr., who was already designated as one of the "Seven Warlords of the Sea," shows his arrogance.
The Head Mountain to the west of Greenbit proves his warlike and bloodthirsty nature.
The world breathed a sigh of relief in the face of a man with so many flaws.
You can always find a way to please him.

"Your reputation is getting worse and worse, brother."
Nojiko couldn't help but smile while making tea for Dylan.
Dylan crossed his feet and said nonchalantly: "Famous things will become a burden if you have too much of them. Now... if I do anything outrageous again, the whole world will only say - 'He's really a guy like this,' so that's good."
Nojiko shook her head. Although Dylan had explained it to her before, she still couldn't understand the deep meaning.
Wouldn't it be nice to be a great hero that everyone admires?
"By the way...that guy Pica isn't lazy, is he?"
Nojiko walked to the window and looked into the distance. To the north of Greenbit, the mountains were rising and falling.
Nojiko couldn't help but smile: "It seems not."
After the news of the auction of alloys and grains spread, Dylan "borrowed" Pica from Doflamingo.
Auction? Of course, the auction will take place in the auction hall!
In addition to the auction hall, there will also be supporting hotels, restaurants, small shops, and a cultural and tourism street!
How long will it take to repair if ordinary people move bricks?
G-5 earns money and G-5 spends it. Do you want to leave before all the money is spent?
Why are you sleeping on a boat? Sorry, you are not eligible to participate in the auction without hotel check-in registration. You are not allowed to bring your own drinks and dry food!
When Dylan appeared at Dressrosa, the other cadres were a little panicked, but Pica's eyes showed deep fear and despair.
I am one of the top three officers of "Donquixote Pirates"—Spade.
Is this the job for me?
·······
Balchico Islands.
Alex took Dylan all the way to their capital.
"The Guide" Ephraim looked at Dylan after listening to Alex's statement: "The world has indeed changed a lot, but I didn't expect pirates to be so rampant now."
Dylan asked while poking at the fire with a stick: "I heard you don't have a royal family here?"
Ephraim nodded: "Yes, more than a thousand years ago, we did not have a royal family, because a person's wisdom is limited, and a person cannot always remain sane.
The most important thing is, if rulers are determined by 'blood', there is no guarantee that the ruler has other necessary abilities besides 'blood.'"
"It seems reasonable that you didn't tolerate the other two parties back then, but..."
Dylan changed the subject: "The kingdom I now rule is still based on 'bloodline.' Isn't this contrary to the concept you uphold?"
Ephraim looked at Dylan strangely: "But didn't Alex say that the governing system is still implemented in the form of a 'parliament'?"
Dylan picked up a wooden stick and held it in his hand: "This is for outsiders to see. In fact, the decision-making events in this kingdom are still under my dictatorship."
"For now, there is no problem." Ephraim knew this was an exchange between them, and it was also the prerequisite for whether their cooperation could begin.
"Oh? Doesn't this abandon the 'legal principles'?"
Ephraim turned the crutch in his hand: "The basis of legal principles comes from the stability of society. In a chaotic world or society, it is impossible to talk about legal principles. And the current world is in a moment of extreme chaos. This is the time to plant..."
Ephraim turned to look at Dylan: "Someone needs to stand up first, lead people out of chaos, and rebuild order. Legal principles are based on basic order."
"What if I become this person, but ask to pass on the 'throne' from generation to generation just like the 'Twenty Kings'?"
A smile appeared on Ephraim's face: "But you are not, at least not now."
"Reason."
"It's very simple."
Ephraim looked at the stars in the sky, as if recalling some distant past: "It is said that you still have no heirs, and your greed for power and hunger for wealth should be a kind of appearance.
Then...
I guess you are looking for other 'things.'
As for what it is specifically, I have no way of knowing, but it shouldn't be something like the 'King of the World.'"
Dylan stood up and scanned the surrounding soldiers.
Powerful, disciplined, and all good players.
"Alex."
"Yes."
"Select 500 people and take them out. From today on, you will be the commander of the G-5-08 unit."
Dylan looked at Ephraim, who was smiling.
"Others are waiting for the 'last day' to come."
The starlight shone on the earth, making the long beard on Ephraim's chest shine brightly:
"It should be soon."
