One piece : A Lotus

Chapter 11: Chapter 10



Vivi was in such shock. A figure took her by the hand and quietly led her out of the palace. When Vivi reached the inner courtyard, she saw that the person who had taken her was Igaram.

"What is happening, Igaram? Why is my lousy brother..." Vivi asked anxiously.

"His Royal Highness... as you can see, His Majesty Cobra took the initiative to go to Yuba for negotiations, but as soon as His Majesty left, the prince immediately seized power in the country along with Pell," Igaram said sadly, secretly apologizing in his heart.

"Forgive me, Your Royal Highness. But it is necessary to prevent Crocodile from killing you and His Royal Highness."

"Elder brother..." Vivi teared up, not believing her ears, recalling the past and the pocket watch fell from her hand to the ground.

"Once His Majesty the King returns after the negotiations, everything will change for the better," Igaram reassured her.

But he knew that His Majesty the King would not be able to return anytime soon.

.....

Chaka deeply trusted Cobra and therefore had no objections to Will becoming the new King.

Two months after Will's coronation, the total sales of mobile phones were successful. Their number reached a million. Most of the profit came from overseas sales.

Mobile phones gradually gained popularity abroad because a large number of trade ships going to sea could not maintain communication with each other. Small traders cannot afford Den Den Mushi, while large merchants have too many ships.

However, every ship needs communication, so mobile phones have become a popular item among traders. Among them, the Syrup Family from East Blue is the most enthusiastic about this collaboration. Relying solely on the Syrup Family, Will successfully sold over 100,000 mobile phones. Many years ago, the Syrup Family was a renowned trade group. The rise of Doflamingo and the death of the Syrup Family head last year caused concern within the family.

Knowing that the Syrup Family owns a large house in a village on an island in East Blue, Will took special care of them, for which the manager of the Syrup Family was very grateful, and Will decided to visit him personally soon.

In the palace, Will was busy with numerous official duties. In fact, these issues are not difficult for him because he is extremely wealthy now. After selling 1 million mobile phones, he earned over 5 billion Berries in an instant, and an additional 300 million Berries were gained as the communication fee each month.

As for how to charge the additional monthly communication fee, it completely depends on the mobile phone top-up card. Will's company released a batch of top-up cards and sold them to merchants, who then sold them to customers. People who bought these cards can enter the corresponding code on the phone and then complete the top-up. These codes are also naturally generated by the power of the Telephone Fruit.

All this time, Will was more concerned not about Alabasta, but about the outcome of his Mobile Fruit breaking through again.

Creating a basic application

The memory capacity of 5th-level mobile phones was directly increased to 300 GB, and the download speed was also doubled. It is now considered a 3G network, and the download range has increased to ten kilometers.

Most importantly, the ability to download new features has been added, the most important feature of a smartphone: the ability to download and install an application. Although it is just a basic application and might resemble a Java app on Earth, it is nonetheless the beginning of intelligence.

As a product of the Devil Fruit, upgrading the hardware of the mobile phone does not require purchasing a new phone. You just need to agree to the upgrade option sent by Will, and the mobile phone itself transforms into a new model.

The first application Will created for the fifth-generation mobile phone is Toutiao (the largest Chinese platform for providing personalized information and news to users based on artificial intelligence technology).

It's not a high-end platform; it's simply a platform for providing pure information, a news website. The operation method is extremely simple, like buying a newspaper from a delivery service, then copying the information from it and uploading it to the application.

In this world, there are at least a hundred newspapers. However, sales volumes vary. In Alabasta, you can buy only ten newspapers, but they are quite sufficient.

For this reason, Will created a news service mainly so they would buy ten newspapers, compile them into one, and send it to him for upload.

......

Millions of mobile phone users saw the option to update. Ninety percent of people chose to update. After the update, the old phone, which could only make calls, became a phone with a color screen, and a new application appeared on it.

People opened it in confusion and were shocked to see news posted in the newspapers they had bought that same day.

Is this the content of the newspaper?

Does this mean that in the future, we won't need to buy newspapers?!

I no longer need to buy a newspaper! This is great!

I want to buy another phone!

I want to buy a hundred! I'll sell them abroad and definitely make a lot of money!

Only 300,000 of these million people are residents of Alabasta, but that's enough to have a huge impact.

Pell looked at the phone's content and felt that something slowly forming inside this little box was destined to disrupt the era. In reality, before Will's phone, communication in this world was already quite good, but there had never been a device that could directly display newspaper content.

Aokiji, who was investigating the Crocodile case, also saw the news content. While he isn't particularly sensitive to this aspect, he understands the significant difference between a mobile phone and the traditional Den Den Mushi.

In the absence of direct evidence, Will decided to include information about Crocodile's numerous crimes. Although this country considers him a hero, the past actions cannot be entirely forgotten. In Alabasta, he still has many enemies.
