Chapter 30
Fujitora (220 GB / 250 GB)
Zushi Zushi no Mi, the Gravity fruit - 100 GB
Enhanced Armament Haki - 20 GB
Enhanced Observation Haki - 80 GB
Advanced Swordsmanship - 20 GB
Although all are at Admiral level, Fujitora with 220 GB might not be able to defeat Aokiji at 160 GB. However, it should be noted that the 52-year-old Fujitora has five more years of experience than the 47-year-old Aokiji.
With Fujitora's support, Alabasta will possess genuine top-tier combat strength, a powerful man with peak combat experience.
Ezekiel successfully inherited the Gravity fruit ability, which finally convinced him that he could possess multiple fruit abilities.

Ezekiel's power was successfully increased once again. Now he'd dare to say that if he had the level of combat experience Fujitora had, he would be no worse than the Four Emperors. Unfortunately, he currently lacked that experience, so he would only be comparable to an Admiral in actual battles.
"This is a problem that will be solved sooner or later," Ezekiel thought to himself.
Since he can acquire multiple abilities, he does not intend to give up on powerful fruits such as: Gura Gura no Mi (Whitebeard's earthquake fruit), Yami Yami no Mi (Teach's dark fruit), Goro Goro no Mi (Enel's lightning fruit), Mera Mera no Mi (Ace's flame fruit), Soru Soru no Mi (Big Mom's soul fruit)...
......
Due to the emergence of competitors, Will had to name his phone:
"Alabasta Royal Mobile (Royal Mobile Phone of Alabasta)."
In Alubarna, in the western part of Alabasta, a World Government phone shop opened. Although they simply called this thing a mechanical Den Den Mushi, the name Alabasta's mobile phone was too grand, so they also had to come up with a name to distinguish their mobile phones from Alabasta Royal Mobile. The store's name was changed to "Justice Mobile Phones"...
Ezekiel was annoyed by this name but was forced to "promote" this phone in newspaper headlines, mainly to emphasize its simplicity, single-functionality, limited capabilities, high price, and other downsides...
This led to sluggish sales of Justice Mobile Phones.
"Damn it! We've already lowered the price and are incurring losses, but these commoners just can't grasp the quality!" the store manager, World Government special agent Sea Bird, angrily slammed the Alabasta Royal Mobile phone he held in his hand and stormed out of the Forum. In recent days, he was close to fainting.
"No options, after all, even we ourselves use Alabasta Royal Mobile phones," said another agent, Red Beast. "We can only lower the price again. I've already mentioned this... And it seems that in the engineering field of 'Rivers of Life,' there are highly specialized guys. It looks like they have special ties with Alabasta, and they seem loyal to their King, who provides them with great support."
"Highly specialized?"
"That's the blind wandering warrior who helps Alabasta. According to intelligence, he alone is worth hundreds of thousands of people."
"That guy..."How do we deal with him?
There's Admiral Zephyr here, but that other one... he could turn everything upside down! Although, no matter how strong he is, he can't stand against an Admiral! - Red Beast sneered coldly.
Then what price should we set for our Justice Mobile Phones? - Sea Bird asked again after a moment of silence.
Up to 1000 Berries, and they should be launched alongside the recently developed enhancement products by Doctor Vegapunk! - said Red Beast.
Vegapunk had been focusing all this time on understanding the Alabasta Royal Mobile phone and was very interested in it.
But Ezekiel's mobile phones were never purely technological.
No matter how brilliant Vegapunk was, he could only emulate some functions of the Alabasta Royal Mobile Phones.
Finally, the construction of base stations began, which means that from now on, as long as base stations are set up every 30 kilometers, all Justice Mobile Phones within range can make regular calls. Unfortunately, the drawbacks are also apparent. They still can't transmit videos or even photos. The provided signal allows only for phone calls and text messages.
It must be said that in this world, where there are no mobile phones, only Den Den Mushi, selling mobile phones does make money. Even if they are sold at a loss, the monthly fees still allow the World Government to earn a lot of money. That's why the World Government is increasingly concerned about Alabasta.
They have already thought it all through. If they acquire this mobile phone technology and have a worldwide channel to sell the Justice Mobile Phones, it may take very little time to amass a fortune globally, which is utterly impossible for anyone else.
......
Looking at the data showing mobile phone sales gradually reaching 10 million, Ezekiel understood that it was time to sell to the external market. Although Alabasta has a population of over 200 million, under normal circumstances, a family would buy only one mobile phone. In other words, in a world where an average family consists of five or six people, there are about 40 million families in Alabasta.
How many of these 40 million families are still struggling for survival while he is taking Alabasta's economy to a new level?
He really wants to launch the "Ocean Map" now, but as soon as it starts expanding globally, the workforce will definitely be insufficient. According to his initial plan, he would appoint presidents for his applications.
The Forum is meant for Zephyr, who has a sense of justice, for support and harmony.
He intends to involve Morgans with the news application.
Previously, there was Crocodile, Zephyr, who was not entirely loyal, and the "River of Life" project with hundreds of thousands of people. Additionally, the schemes of the World Government were quite distracting.
All of this drained too much of Ezekiel's energy. There was no one in Alabasta who could help him become stronger.
But now...
Thinking about this, Ezekiel clenched his fist and slammed it on the table, and the table shattered into pieces in an instant.
The time has come! Today I will use this to achieve supremacy!
