Suddenly, Moria seemed to sense something.
He looked up at Perona and hesitated, "Although I don't know you, you give me a very familiar feeling! If you'd like, let's get to know each other!"
Perona's face lit up with delight upon hearing this.
"Great! Of course!"
Auguro stood to the side, looking thoughtful.
"Even though the memories are gone, will something still remain deep within the soul?"
"That's true! In the end, it's still the same soul; it can't be completely different!"
Auguro smiled slightly and left after watching Perona chattering and pestering Moria.
With Moria as her bond, Perona will never betray her.
After all, he is the Soul King, and Moria's life or death is now in his hands!
Having arranged everything, Auguro began to live a leisurely life.
With the World Government temporarily ceasing its efforts, Water Seven has entered a peaceful environment for development.
Auguro also decided to keep a low profile for the time being.
Although the Five Elders compromised, it did not mean they had admitted defeat.
If I continue to make some big moves, these guys will definitely not be able to hold back!
A world government that has ruled the ocean for 800 years naturally has its pride.
Not long after, Vivi arrived in Water City with the people she had arranged to meet.
Iceberg was overjoyed.
Auguro's plans for Water Seven were quite ambitious.
All of these burdens weighed heavily on him, keeping him so busy that he practically lived in his office.
Now, finally, someone can share the burden.
Auguro spent a few days with Vivi in Water Seven, doing his part as a host.
Unfortunately, Vivi couldn't stay for too long.
After all, the alliance between the two countries was a secret.
The Holy Spirit Empire and the World Government have a strained relationship.
If it becomes known that a pact has been signed with Alabasta, Alabasta will certainly face retaliation.
There's nothing we can do; Alabasta simply isn't strong enough!
In the world of One Piece, a nation's strength is judged by two things: its top-tier fighters and its military equipment.
Even though Auguro taught Vivi how to cultivate dual-color Haki, it would still take a long time to train a top-tier expert.
On the contrary, military equipment seems to have some potential!
Auguro recalled that the mainstream firearms in this world were flintlock guns, which were loaded one bullet at a time and had very low accuracy.
Otherwise, Shanks wouldn't have needed to search the world for snipers in the first place.
"Putting everything else aside, a single Colt revolver is enough to show these people what a dimensional reduction attack is!"
Auguro smiled.
You fire one shot, I'll fire six in a row, I guarantee you'll understand the power of suppressive fire!
As for rifles, the Mauser 98k embodies the passion of countless men!
It has a five-round magazine capacity, high accuracy, and long range.
With a scope attached, you can shoot 900 meters without even needing Observation Haki!
"Hmm! Isn't Franky most fond of weapons? Give him these two research proposals, he'll be very happy!"
As for production lines and such.
The Seireitei 12th Division's Technology Development Bureau has many workshops; clearing out one is enough!
Besides aiding Alabasta, it can also be sold!
The arms industry is one of the most profitable industries!
Didn't you see how Doflamingo made a fortune selling arms, even becoming one of the underground emperors!
Let's do it!
After personally teaching Vivi the method of cultivating domineering power and proposing a plan to develop firearms, an excited Vivi hugged Auguro tightly.
Alabasta's position in the Grand Line has always been awkward.
With these two things, Alabasta finally has hope!
A moment later, after realizing what was happening, Vivi jumped away abruptly, her pretty face as red as an apple.
Auguro responded with a warm smile.
These past few days, how could he not see through Vivi's girlish thoughts?
He certainly couldn't refuse such a good girl.
As he saw Vivi off, Auguro gave her a gentle kiss, a gesture that served as a promise.
Subsequently, Auguro instructed Franky to develop two types of firearms.
He promised that once these two firearms went into production, five percent of the profits would be given to Franky as research funding!
Without saying a word, Franky spent about three months finally creating the prototype gun.
As for the accompanying bullets.
That's a piece of cake.
After understanding the principle, Franky solved it in just two days.
After purchasing a large quantity of ore from Alabasta, the military factory began production in full swing!
A month later, the first batch of firearms arrived in Alabasta, causing a sensation in the army.
A small portion of it was arranged by Auguro to flow into the black market, where it was sold for exorbitant prices!
Large sums of money have begun to flow back.
Everything began to proceed in an orderly manner.
Several months passed by in a flash.
The year 1522 of the Haiyuan calendar finally arrived.
The real curtain of this world has finally been raised.
In Beihai, a sailboat sped forward like an arrow.
On the bridge, a middle-aged man shouted sternly, "Hurry up! Hurry up! If this shipment is lost, we'll be jumping overboard!"
No one on the crew responded; they were all focused on increasing their speed.
However, a few seconds later, the lookout shouted in terror, "Captain! Something's wrong! We're surrounded!"
The middle-aged man looked around and saw three standard-issue warships charging toward him in a semi-encircling formation.
"Damn it!"
He knew perfectly well that they had laid an ambush this time!
As the warships drew closer, their flags gradually became clearer.
It was none other than the banner of the Holy Spirit Empire!
A man in a black suit and top hat stepped out from the flagship.
Upon seeing this man, the middle-aged man's heart pounded wildly, and he exclaimed in a trembling voice, "Rob Lucci!"
Leader of the Shadow Dragon Guard of the Holy Holy Spirit Empire, and head of intelligence.
Even if he has been mobilized; there's no way our group can escape now!
Soon, the sailboat was surrounded. Lucci lightly leaped to the middle-aged man and said coldly.
"Lawson Michael! A small-time pirate with a six-million bounty. Who gave you the audacity to steal goods from my Holy Holy Spirit Empire?"
Since the arms trade began, Beihai has become the largest sales market for the Holy Spirit Empire.
Gangs are rampant here, creating an extremely high demand for weapons.
High-powered weaponry from the Holy Spirit Empire is extremely popular here, occupying almost 90% of the market.
But just recently, three batches of weapons were stolen.
Auguro guessed that someone was eyeing his big piece of the pie and immediately ordered a thorough investigation.
So Lucci specially requested a batch of weapons and arranged this trap.
Michael swallowed hard, forcing himself to remain calm, and said, "Rob Lucci, we're both just following orders! If you want to know who's behind me, let your people ask them!"
Thump!
Lucci punched Michael in the stomach.
Michael immediately vomited acid and collapsed to the ground.
"How dare a petty thief presume to speak with the Spirit King? If you wish to die, I can grant your wish right now!"
Under the chilling and terrifying murderous aura, Michael instantly cowered.
"No! No! I'll tell you! It was the Joker! He sent me!"
