Chapter 117

What Ezekiel needed was for the Heavenly Dragon to inform those countries where the sale of Alabasta Royal Mobile phones was prohibited. This set off a chain reaction.

Though the World Government immediately imposed a second ban, how could that prevent a Heavenly Dragon from appearing in a specific country to sell mobile phones?

A ban is merely an order—could they send someone to arrest Heavenly Dragon Charlos, who is personally selling mobile phones in the Kingdom of Goa?

That's impossible, so they couldn't do anything about it! And the sales continued to rise.

When over a dozen countries, which initially banned the sale of Alabasta Royal Mobile phones, allowed sales, the total number of mobile phone users grew at an alarming rate.

"Saint Charlos personally traveled to various countries to sell Alabasta Royal Mobile phones."

"Countries that do not allow the sale of Alabasta Royal Mobile phones will be visited by the Heavenly Dragon."

"The World Government has not confirmed that it was manipulating the mobile phone market in various countries, claiming that buying and selling mobile phones is each country's decision."

"Germa 66 has obstructed the sale of Alabasta Royal Mobile phones in North Blue, a battle is possible!"

"Countries in North Blue have requested military support from the World Government, and the Government has stated that no real traces of Germa 66 were found, it's all rumors."

The headlines drew widespread attention.

On Fish-Man Island, which has a population of five million, mobile phone sales exceed three million.

To achieve sales of 150 million, Alabasta would need fifty countries like Fish-Man Island.

But depending on the country's size, sales volumes also vary.

Although some countries have a much smaller population than Alabasta, they still have tens of millions of people, and mobile phones can easily sell in the tens of millions.

But usually, they aren't bought for entertainment; they are bought for survival.

In many impoverished areas, having an Alabasta phone means opportunities for life. Thanks to the role of Taobao, many poor countries can sell their own products in large quantities, and people can buy food at cheaper prices. In fact, many countries support this wholeheartedly. If it weren't for the World Government's restrictions, they would have long ago begun widespread use of Alabasta Royal Mobile phones.

After all, no matter how good the Justice phone is, it cannot implement Taobao.

The entire sea is buzzing due to the rapid growth in Alabasta Royal Mobile phone sales, and more and more pirates are gathering in the waters near Alabasta, seeking opportunities to loot and take revenge on Alabasta.

These are real pirates, much like people like Yumit, the ship magnate. They mainly rely on plundering merchant ships or charging high passage fees to maintain their income. Although Taobao affected their business before, now it has practically replaced sea transportation.

In total, there were 200 countries, with 170 of them being part of the World Government, and Alabasta Royal Mobile phones were freely sold in only a few dozen of them.

But now, with the visit of the Heavenly Dragon, East Blue, West Blue, South Blue, and parts of the Grand Line have opened a new chapter in Alabasta Royal Mobile phone sales, with only North Blue's market remaining unopened... Mainly because the name Germa 66, represented in North Blue, is too terrifying.

If Germa 66 doesn't leave North Blue, in a short time, North Blue residents won't want to spend a single Belli on anything other than survival.

Alabasta's Royal Fleet could set sail to encircle the Kingdom of Germa, and it has the strength, but it lacks the loud name, the fame. After all, the Royal Fleet is only the fleet of Alabasta, not the World Government's Marine Watch.

In reality, Alabasta has no reason to control other countries, unless they are countries like Fish-Man Island and Amazon Lily.

With the growing popularity of mobile phones, there are almost no secrets left in this world. Although the World Government firmly claimed that Germa is not in North Blue, some North Blue mobile phone users uploaded several photos of Germa and even shared some information...

"Members of Big Mom's Crew, one of the Four Emperors, Baron Tamago and Pekoms, who escaped from Alabasta prison, appeared in North Blue."

Seeing the news, Ezekiel smiled.

Pekoms and Baron Tamago, two guys who escaped due to Aokiji's secret attack on Desert Black Prison, gave Alabasta a perfect reason... to send their forces to North Blue to arrest the pirates who fled from its prison...

Not too brazen, right?

In the central waters of North Blue, Pekoms and Baron Tamago appeared before the massive structure of the Kingdom of Germa. At this moment, they were both a bit shocked because it looked nothing like they had imagined.

Half-destroyed buildings, ships with huge holes, countless injured soldiers, just like a country that had just suffered a natural disaster.

Is this the legendary invincible Germa?

What kind of refugee country is this?!

"Hey, you two! The Kingdom of Germa didn't originally look like this," Reiju stepped forward. "It was just when we were crossing the Red Line, we encountered a warrior from Alabasta... a blind warrior."

Since they didn't use mobile phones, they had very limited sources of intelligence from the outside world, and they didn't know who the famous Fujitora was, who attacked them last time.

Baron Tamago and Pekoms exchanged glances, and their hearts fluttered. Is this that terrifying guy? No wonder...

"It seems you're really strong. I didn't expect to survive such a monster," said Baron Tamago with a hint of fear.

"Do you know this guy?" Reiju asked suspiciously.

In the end, Fujitora simply summoned a meteor and left. In fact, Reiju knew very little about his true strength.

"This man's name is Fujitora. He possesses combat power comparable to an Admiral. He's the guardian of the Alabasta Emperor. He exists as the King's shadow, but I don't know why he appeared on the Red Line," Pekoms said.

While talking, the pair entered the conference hall of the Kingdom of Germa, where Judge was already waiting for them.

"Welcome, we are always pleased to have members of the Big Mom Pirates!" Judge smiled, a smile long forgotten, and because he hadn't smiled in a long time, it seemed a bit forced.

"Your Majesty Judge," Baron Tamago said politely, "we have come with sincerity from the Charlotte Family. Mama heard that you have three sons. She wants to marry her daughters to them, but... Mama wants to see the true strength of Germa."

Judge smiled broadly.

"Of course, I will show you."

Although the losses were significant, fortunately, the cloning sector wasn't affected, and the North Blue plan wasn't abandoned.
