One Piece meme: Starting with eight extraordinary skills

Generally speaking, privates, corporals, and privates need to form battle formations to easily kill prisoners.

Today, these naval soldiers are able to achieve such capabilities, clearly thanks to the steel armor they wear.

Seeing that Long was interested, Yang Ming's lips curled up slightly, and he said:

“Brother Long, we are the most steadfast allies. I have also heard about the Revolutionary Army. On Kuregana Island, the Kingdom of Sikaiar was destroyed by war, and the truth about the Revolutionary Army uprising was deliberately buried by the World Government. Very few people know about it.”

"If the Revolutionary Army wants to overthrow the World Government and establish a new world full of freedom, equality, and dreams, it is not enough to rely on top-notch fighters alone; it also needs an army armed to the teeth."

"As you can see, once you put on this Mark 1 steel armor, even an ordinary person can instantly become a tough guy who can tear apart pirates with his bare hands, which can directly improve the strength of the army!"

"At that time, I will secretly help you establish a revolutionary base in Alabasta, and you will be able to arm a revolutionary army of tens of thousands of people!"

Upon hearing this, not only Long, but all the revolutionary army cadres were moved!

Just now, Haku, the fishman cadre, was worried that establishing a revolutionary base in Alabasta would dilute the revolutionary army's strength.

But now it seems that if the Revolutionary Army acquires this batch of Mark 1 Iron Armor, their numerical advantage can be transformed into a combat advantage, which will surely make the enemy realize just how terrifying the vast ocean of civilians really is!

"leader!"

At this moment, not only Haku, but even the usually taciturn Bartholomew Kuma turned their gazes toward the dragon, the meaning of which was self-evident.

After the initial shock, Long, befitting his status as the leader of the revolutionary army, quickly regained his composure. His serious face offered no clue as to what he was thinking, and he posed a crucial question:

"Yang Ming, this Mark 1 steel equipment is so powerful, it must have cost a lot of money to build, right?"

Seeing that the dragon had successfully taken the bait, Yang Ming secretly chuckled to himself.

Smoker has been serving as the guardian of the Kingdom of Prodens for many years now. According to Yang Ming's instructions when he left, Smoker established the Kingdom's Guardian Army, which not only eradicated bandits in the country but also went out to sea to eliminate pirates. At the same time, he carefully protected the development of the New Hope Factory, established branch factories in various parts of the Kingdom of Prodens, and recruited a large number of workers.

The Kingdom of Prodins possesses vast mineral veins that have been mined for over a hundred years, and there is still no sign of them being depleted.

The New Hope factory mines a large amount of ore, which is then smelted and processed into steel. In addition to normal operations and transshipment to Water Seven to supply Carrera Company with steel warships, there is a large surplus, which is now stored in warehouses.

Now, with the advent of the Mark 1 steel armor, the surplus steel produced by the New Hope Factory has a new place to go.

Because of abundant mineral resources and low labor costs, the production cost of the Mark 1 steel armor was far lower than the dragon had imagined.

Even brothers should keep clear accounts, let alone Yang Ming and Long, who are not brothers.

Yang Ming naturally couldn't tell Long the truth, yet he hoped to arm the revolutionary army and use it for his own purposes, constantly launching uprisings and wars around the world to weaken the world government's power. This would be a great test of his eloquence and ability.

After pondering for a moment, Yang Ming smiled and said:

"Brother Long, our relationship is more than just brothers, I'm not going to be pretentious with you."

"To be frank, I'm planning to start with the Beasts Pirates to establish my authority within the Marine Headquarters and expand my own power. So I need the Revolutionary Army to act as my vanguard and wreak havoc within the Beasts Pirates' territory."

"For this, I can generously provide the Revolutionary Army with 500 sets of Mark I Steel Armor free of charge, and then sell the Mark I Steel Armor for half..."

Chapter 215 The loneliness of every heart, the fragility of every heart, yearns to be touched.

What is love in this world that makes people willing to die for it?

Faced with Bartholomew Big Bear's sudden pressure to get married, Yang Ming appeared calm on the surface, but was actually panicking inside.

what's the situation?

I really don't want to get married!

Seeing that Yang Ming remained silent and did not respond for a long time, Bartholomew Big Bear couldn't help but snort coldly, exuding a terrifying aura.

Bartholomew Kuma, also known as Tyrant Kuma, is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea with a bounty of 296 million Berries. He is rumored to be a ruthless and domineering pirate.

What is most feared is that Bartholomew Kuma is a Paramecia-type Paw-Paw Fruit user. He has paw-like pads growing on his palms. Anyone or anything that touches these pads will be unconditionally repelled, and he can even send people flying to some corner of the world in an instant.

Bartholomew Kuma's terrifying spatial displacement ability also makes him a pivotal figure and player in the Revolutionary Army.

Even when faced with a large-scale encirclement and suppression by the Navy, they were able to escape using Bartholomew Kuma's Devil Fruit ability, which allowed them to repeatedly turn danger into safety at the beginning of their business.

The pressure of being personally urged to marry by such a ruthless pirate must be immense.

Just as the situation reached a stalemate, a joyful yet slightly coquettish voice rang out:

"Father!"

"How did you come!"

Joelle Bonney came running, leaping up with a burst of energy, her arms wrapped tightly around his neck, clinging to Bartholomew Big Bear like a koala, her pretty face pressed against her father's chest, looking just like a petite girl lacking fatherly love.

If one weren't familiar with Jewelry Bonney's character, they might actually be fooled by her actions.

Suddenly, Bartholomew the Great Bear withdrew his terrifying aura, raised his large, bear-paw-like hand, and gently stroked his daughter's little head.

"Hmm~"

Like a cat enjoying its owner's touch, Joelle Bonney slightly narrowed her eyes and let out a soft hum.

When Joelle Bonney was very young, Bartholomew Big Bear ran away from home and was always on the move, rarely having the opportunity to be close to his father like this.

Every girl longs for a warm harbor, just as she longs to be in her father's arms.

After a moment of tenderness, Jewelry Bonney raised her head and whispered:

"Father, please don't misunderstand. My relationship with Yang Ming isn't what you think. It's just that I've been shamelessly following Yang Ming around..."

As she continued speaking, even Jewelry Bonney herself seemed embarrassed, lowering her head shyly, her fair skin flushed.

Bartholomew Big Bear looked left at Yang Ming and right at his own daughter, feeling utterly speechless.

So, you've been with Yang Ming for all these years and haven't become his official girlfriend?

It’s so off the mark!

Lick the dog?

Bartholomew Bear suddenly had this absurd idea pop into his mind, shook his head violently, and dismissed the ridiculous thought.

His daughter is so beautiful, how could she possibly be a simp?

He absolutely refuses to acknowledge such a fact!

Bonnie, come with me.

Bartholomew Big Bear, with a solemn expression, immediately pulled Joelle Bonney behind the volcanic rock pillars, where the father and daughter planned to have a deep and simple conversation.

After the two left, Long gestured to Kela to come out and smooth things over.

Kerla immediately understood and said:

“Yang Ming, Uncle Xiong isn’t usually like this. I hope you can understand the difficulties of an old father. He’s just afraid you’ll bully his daughter, so he suddenly came to urge her to get married.”

Yang Ming sighed, rubbing his forehead, feeling a bit of a headache.

Being pressured to get married is truly a pain point for modern people!

This minor incident naturally did not affect the alliance between Yang Ming and the revolutionary army.

The world is full of goodwill, and the world is all good.

Yang Ming and the revolutionary army share common interests and goals, so they would not let trivial matters damage their relationship.

Next, Yang Ming continued to discuss the details of the Alabasta Kingdom with Long.

Alabasta is a country built in the desert. Their ancestors were 20 kings who jointly founded the World Government. However, for various reasons, their ancestors did not want to identify themselves as Celestial Dragons and returned to Alabasta to multiply and thrive. Their direct bloodline has now continued for 800 years and enjoys a certain reputation even in the whole world.

Whenever the Nefertari family is mentioned, kings and nobles from all over the world give them a thumbs up.

It is easy to imagine how prestigious the Alabasta royal family was.

Alabasta has its capital in Albana, with major cities including Yuba, Yudhi, and Airuma. The country is covered by vast deserts, with only oases that can be inhabited near rivers.

Besides, the reason why Alabasta attracted Yang Ming's attention was not because of the ancient weapons that might be buried there, but because Alabasta has extremely rich oil and natural gas resources.

For the natives of Alabasta, oil was not a good thing at all; on the contrary, it was regarded as an omen of bad luck, an inextinguishable flame that fell from the sky and was used to punish the most heinous criminals.

For this reason, Alabasta often digs a pit in the ground, pours in oil, ignites it, and throws the prisoner into the pit when executing criminals.

This method of execution is extremely barbaric, backward, and cruel, and it is also a huge waste of resources.

Yang Ming was determined to acquire the oil resources.

If one can control a large amount of oil resources, it will be possible to upgrade steel warships, eliminating the need to use steam engines as a power source. Instead, engines can be developed that consume oil to obtain a large amount of power.

In addition, petroleum has various uses, such as serving as fuel, lubricant, and solvent, which allows New Hope Plant to open up different types of new factories.

Not to mention, the area also has abundant natural gas resources, which are also a very valuable resource for people's livelihood.

In Yang Ming and Long's plan, Yang Ming would use his power as a Navy Admiral to relocate the Navy branches located in the waters near Alabasta. Over two years, he would gradually replace them with his own people from the Governor-General's faction, thereby loosening all control and allowing the Revolutionary Army to transfer large numbers of personnel and supplies to Alabasta.

Dragon will send several capable revolutionary cadres to develop a revolutionary base in Alabasta, seize the opportunity to grow stronger, and use the name of the Dinosaur Merchant Guild to purchase various oil and natural gas development rights in Alabasta, using this as a cover to develop revolutionary army members.

In just a few words, the two men turned the vast, ancient kingdom into fish on a chopping board, at their mercy.

To boost the morale of the revolutionary army, Yang Ming did not mind sharing the intelligence:

"Crocodile has established the Baroque Works in Alabasta. Since the beginning of the year, he has been secretly using the side effects of the Dancing Powder to cause drought and little rain in various parts of Alabasta, causing local resentment to boil over. You can take advantage of this opportunity to find Princess Vivi's close friend Koza and recruit him into the Revolutionary Army's cadre."

“Once the time is right, you can use Kosha, a local, to overthrow the rule of the Alabasta Kingdom.”

Long Xin was startled.

Even the revolutionary army hadn't been able to gather this inside information.

Long still has some old subordinates at the Navy Headquarters, who used to pass on top-secret information. Even they hadn't found out about this information, so how did Yang Ming know it?

Could it be that Yang Ming has secretly developed his own intelligence network?

Long gave the young general a deep look, secretly amazed by Yang Ming's intelligence network, but also felt a chill run down his spine at the sight of his cunning and methods.

Such a monstrous existence, if it were to become an enemy...

Chapter 216 Golden City, Golden Emperor

What's it like to be bitten by a girl?

This feeling is quite subtle.

When Joelle Bonney bit Yang Ming's index finger, he could feel it entering her warm and moist narrow mouth. The hot breath she exhaled hit his fingertip, giving him a tingling, itchy feeling.
