One piece : A Lotus

Where is the real Pluton?

Ezekiel believes that the secret is hidden in the Tomb of Alabasta, in the Hall of Funeral Rites.

That's why Crocodile is entrenched here in Alabasta. If Nico Robin translates and shows him the way, he will find Pluton and challenge Whitebeard.

......

Four million sold mobile phones are enough to form a large network.

Ezekiel distinctly feels that more and more foreigners are arriving in Alabasta, among them are very strong characters and abilities that he has tried hard to acquire, but if he didn't have the chance, he could only regret missing out on them.

Finally, Ezekiel attained the highest mastery of a swordsman, advanced Armament Haki, and advanced Observation Haki.

The swordsmanship application weighed 60 GB. And Haki was 20 GB each.

The level of the swordsman is at least two years behind Zoro's level, and 60 GB is not actually that much.

The mobile phone hasn't undergone any new updates, and Ezekiel assumed that at the time of selling 5 million, a major update would likely occur.

Since the last time Ezekiel pretended to be Aokiji, he understood that sooner or later the World Government would take action regarding Alabasta. The reason he's calm now is that he will only start to act after the "River of Life" project is completed.

Can he hold back the World Government? That depends on whether the strength he's accumulating now is sufficient.

Of course, it would be very unwise to slow down the construction of the "River of Life" to gather strength.

Currently, Ezekiel has the Three Hundred Spartans, the four elite Tsumegeiri squad members, and two Commanders.

He thought despondently: the power is still too weak; in a country with tens of millions of people, the organization resembles a sect of charlatans. It's all too weak!

Reforms must be implemented. Ezekiel opened his notes, which initially had words like "Crocodile" and "Rebel Army," and filled in the second page: "military reform," "economic reform," "governance system reform," and "infrastructure reform."

The "River of Life" can be considered part of infrastructure reform.

The first thing to start with is military reform. Only when a powerful Leader has the army under control can the following measures be realized.

Thinking about this, he immediately recalled the garrison. The Kingdom's 600,000-strong army controlled the 300,000-strong rebel army on the front line. Ezekiel reorganized these 600,000 people into the Six Armies. The commanders of the Six Armies were the four members of the elite Tsumegeiri squad and the two Commanders, while the King himself became the Supreme Commander of the 600,000-strong army.

Such behavior actually caused some concern among Koza and other rebels, but as the "River of Life" continued to be built, they gradually lowered their guard because the 600,000-strong army didn't expand, remaining at 600,000 people. There were no signs of a change in course, and Cobra was still involved in the project.

Ezekiel ordered 600 individuals to be selected from the 600,000 as commanders, and they were given enhanced physical skills. Another 60 were chosen as captains and were granted high-level physical abilities. Based on their military merits, they were also allowed to request new abilities directly from the King.

This series of actions increased the combat effectiveness of the Royal Army more than tenfold.

Every soldier could receive a mobile phone for free. This was a benefit Ezekiel provided to the soldiers. If a soldier already had a mobile phone, they could receive 5,000 Berries instead.

Ezekiel created a military contact app, assigning each soldier a unique identifier. The kingdom recognizes them as its soldier in the network when the user logs into the mobile app with this identifier, which records their personal data. Salaries and various benefits can also be distributed through this app.

More importantly, the app allowed King's orders to be issued directly, which was unprecedented in terms of army status and real-time control. This app could only be downloaded by Alabasta's soldiers, and other users could not download or use it.

Additionally, Ezekiel is already experimenting with the possibility of Alabasta entering a cashless society. He wanted to make Berries electronic. When soldiers purchase military supplies, they could place orders directly through the military app.

In fact, he even wants to introduce a new currency different from Berries.

Berries are printed by the World Government. Due to irresponsible printing, severe inflation has occurred. For example, buying a single newspaper requires 100 Berries, which is clearly abnormal.

The army's salary is mainly a financial burden on various settlements. This is a traditional rule. Ezekiel wants to take on these expenses, but it requires a lot of funds.

Ezekiel believes that if Alabasta's true strength is unleashed, the world will be terrified.

The entire Alabasta is now gradually stabilizing, and the Kingdom's 600,000-strong army must also go about their missions. After Ezekiel thwarted Crocodile's plans, the elusive sand thieves reappeared and attacked multiple times. The King received numerous reports of disasters on this issue from cities and villages.

Ezekiel decided to allocate a part of the army to be stationed in various regions as a permanent guard. Alabasta has 13 major cities, 21 small towns, and hundreds of villages, requiring at least 300,000 troops.

The Six Armies were divided into two groups, and Ezekiel decided to alternate the groups over the course of a year as practical experience. This happened almost instantly. Except for powerful bands, other small groups of sand thieves were almost immediately destroyed.

As internal security improved, Ezekiel made a great economic discovery for himself:

"In this world, there is no bank?!"

In this era, there was no organization or business like a bank because pirates or villains could rob it at any moment. The strong face countless dangers. No matter how strong you are, could you withstand the Four Yonkos? Until your wealth reaches a certain level, you will be a target for such pirates.

However, there are private moneylending organizations. The most well-known of them is the "God of Fortune" Du Feld. But it can be said that the functions of moneylending and banking differ significantly. The real strength of banks lies in concentrating wealth and undertaking great projects. The structure of moneylending is such that it simply involves lending money to earn interest...
