I am a loyal worker! 2

"State-owned business?" 

Not only Jaygarcia but also the other members of the Five Elders, especially Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro, who was in charge of the economy among the Five Elders, were curious. 

"Can you explain it more?" 

"Yes, it is a type of business that we, the World Government, will own, and if possible, we will monopolize this sector of business." 

"Oh-ho? Such as?" 

"Er... how about food? Everyone needs food. No matter how strong an individual is, if they are hungry, they can't fight, or even die, so as long as we control the food in this world, we can control everyone." 

"....please continue. We're listening." 

"Yes, Sir!" 

Shinra had to say that the way the World Government controlled this world was still... lacking, if he had to say. 

The World Government is amazing, and Shinra couldn't deny that, especially when this organization had been in control of the world for the past 800 years! 

During those 800 years, the world was peaceful, and there were hardly any conflicts. Even if there were, it was inevitable since no one was perfect, and the world was fast, so how could the World Government take care of this world perfectly? 

Even though they might have said that they were the gods of this world, they weren't gods as they couldn't be in any place to maintain everything. 

Regardless, after 800 years, after the start of the Age of Pirates, Shinra felt that they had grown senile, and their rule of this world started to crumble as many problems kept popping up one after another. 

Yes, the Five Elders might be powerful, capable as they were chosen to be in such positions, but even so, as they were old, Shinra knew that they lacked flexible minds or the thought to develop further, except for weapons, which was a shame, especially when the World Government was full of potentials. 

Why did he say that? 

It was because this organization controlled many strong people, from the Marines, the Cipher Pol, and even the Seven Warlords of the Seas, and more importantly, they also controlled the money in this world!

Yes, unlike in his previous world, when a certain strong country couldn't monopolize the currency of the world, as there were still many strong currencies such as the Euro, the Yuan, the Yen, and even the Ruble. 

In the world of One Piece, the World Government had made all the people use the Belly as the currency! 

With such an influence, it was a shame that they didn't use it! 

Still, as Shinra expressed his proposal, no one said anything, and they were just rooted in their places, as they thought of the possibilities, potentials, and futures that he described. 

Yes, he knew well that what he was doing was helping the enemies, as the World Government was the enemy that was written in the story of One Piece, but he felt otherwise. 

The World Government might not be good, but to maintain everything, how could one rely on kindness? 

Even the gods in many religions, even the famous ones, often caused disasters to humans, such as floods, earthquakes, and many others.

Let's say that the world was liberated by Luffy. By then, what would happen? 

When Shinra thought of that idiot, who could only laugh, he was worried that the world would be as good as gone. He felt that the world would be similar to Europe during the Dark Ages after the destruction of the Roman Empire, which made the lives of people, which were already hellish, even more horrible! 

Yes, the World Government wasn't on the side of that justice, but the world wasn't just white and black. 

Regardless, he had shown the Five Elders how to truly control this world. 

With weapons in the right hands and the economy in the left hands. 

When everything was combined, the world would be truly theirs! 

Frankly, was it necessary for him to tell all of that? 

After all, the stronger the World Government was, the more troublesome it was to control them, right? 

Yet, Shinra thought differently since the stronger the World Government was, the better it was for him, since that way, it would be easier for him to colonize this world. 

Moreover, if a fight broke out between them, Shinra wasn't afraid, especially since his power wasn't bad now. 

His experience when he fought Kaidou had awakened most of his potential, and whether it was the Five Elders or the boss behind the scenes, he wasn't afraid. 

That said, if Shinra wasn't wrong, the boss behind the scenes of the World Government was a woman, so... let's talk about that later. 

"Good... do what you want. We will support you."

"Thank you." Shinra could hear their excitement and nodded calmly. "I will do my best to make the World Government exist forever." 

"Good." 

As they talked for a while, Shinra was about to call Tsuru, telling her about his decision to enter the Marines. 

"Ah, you are going to join?" 

"Is that not okay?" 

"No, please join!" 

"By the way, before I join, I hope that I can work only Monday to Thursday from nine in the morning to five in the evening, and three days of holidays on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Also, I want annual leave, sick leave, force majeure leaves, additional pay for overtime work, employee benefits...

Nevertheless, even if Shinra joined the Marines, he decided to set up his work to follow the same schedule and benefits that he had as a member of the CP0. 

"...are you Kizaru's son?" 

"What?" Shinra was confused by Tsuru's question, but he thought for a moment and said, "Do you think Admiral Kizaru is as handsome as me?" 

"...you are right." 

When the two thought of Kizaru's wretched face, it was stupid of Tsuru to ask such a question. 

"So, what do you think? Will you agree to my conditions?" 

What Shinra sought wasn't that of a justice, so Tsuru couldn't help but ask, "Why did you want to join the Marine?" 

"Is it weird of me to join the Marines?" 

"No, I am happy. No, we're happy, but I can see that you come with a purpose that you believe in, that of justice." 

"You are right." 

"..." Tsuru. 

"...by the way, don't talk to too many people, okay?" 

"What is it?" 

As Tsuru frowned, Shinra said helplessly, "I made someone pregnant." 

"...." Tsuru. 

"I thought I'd get a stable job, so I decided to join the Marines." 

"...." Tsuru. 

"..." Robin, Carina, and Stussy. 

Tsuru didn't say anything for a while, then looked at Sengoku, who also listened quietly by her side, as their expressions turned weird. 

"I agree." 

Unexpectedly, Sengoku agreed immediately. "But can you visit the Marines' Headquarters after this? I will send someone to pick you up." 

"Thanks." 

"Where are you now?" 

"Punk Hazard." 

"Punk Hazard? What are you doing there?" 

"It's my home in the New World. I bought it from the CP0 before."

"...you know the CP0?" 

This time, the expressions of Sengoku and Tsuru quickly changed. 

"If you can't provide me with my requests, I will apply to the CP0." 

"No, you can't! I will provide your requests, and if you want, you can also become an admiral!"

"Admiral? Isn't that too much? And, isn't there only three admirals?" 

"No, you are worth the position, and it doesn't matter even if there are four admirals for the stability of this world." 

"...let's get me the Vice Admiral position. They seem more comfortable in that rank." 

"Really?" 

"How about you talk to your boss first? As you have your discussion, I will be on my way to the Marines Headquarters." 

"Okay, I can't wait to meet you, Uchiha Shina. Oh, I will send people to pick you up immediately." 

"Thanks." 

As they finished their call, with just that, Shinra became a Marine under the speechless gaze of Robin, Carina, and Stussy.
