Finally, finally, finally it arrived at September 15th, 1502 of the Marine Calendar.

This day.

The Holy Land, Mary Geoise, was unusually lively, with the Publicity Department officials carrying Visual Den Den Mushi) and following around the fifty kings.

They disembarked at Red Port, passed through charming Red Port, and then rode bubble cranes to ascend above the Red Line.

Finally, the journey up the epic stone steps to reach Mary Geoise.

It was broadcast to hundreds of millions of people around the world on their virtual screens.

Among them are the current Emperor from the Teigu World Shenwa Island Country, and the Yami Tsukahara Sword Saint serves as his bodyguard.

It can be said that it attracted the attention of everyone, including the surrounding kings.

They were the Otherworld to attend the Reverie.

This also aroused envy in the old emperor of the Imperial Empire in the Teigu World and the forty-seventh king of the Alchemi Kingdom.

After all, who wouldn't want to be the first?

Besides.

Newgate, Charlotte Linlin, and King Harald of the Giants, Edward were also attending the Reverie for the first time, received a lot of attention.

However, some people noticed that they didn't seem to have any guards behind them.

Too.

These three don't need guards. If they encounter a situation that could harm them, who knows who will protect whom?

A moment later.

The fifty kings left their guards and families in the Social Plaza while they went into the Reverie Hall inside the palace.

Instantly.

The Baymax Round Table bearing the emblem of Five-Circle Cross, which many kings had first seen four years earlier, appeared before them.

The chairs of varying sizes surrounding the Round Table represent their power and status.

When everyone was seated.

The main topics of this Reverie were also placed on their tables by attendants.

This scene was naturally also projected onto countless screens by Den Den Mushi placed in different corners.

Just look at the number of files and their titles.

There are three topics in total.

The Basic Living Conditions Guarantee System Act for All Residents of Sea Star.

<World Government Heavenly Tribute Contribution Reform Act>.

The Devil Fruit Public Ownership and Devil Fruit User Registration Act.

Each of these three titles alone was enough to move all the kings present and the viewers in front of their screens; everyone could smell the 'sea breeze' that signaled a great change in the era to come.

The Reverie has officially begun.

The kings looked at the first item on the agenda, but this very first item made most of them look grim.

Because of this so-called "Sea Star Community Basic Living Conditions Guarantee System Act".

It requires all countries to provide their citizens with basic housing, living expenses, jobs, primary and secondary schools, and medical services.

Although it is mentioned later that if the kingdom faces objective difficulties, the World Government will provide support and assistance in various aspects after the investigation team's research confirms these difficulties.

But they don't quite believe that the World Government can keep its word, or that such support will be so easy to obtain.

However, some kings were aware that the World Government had actually been implementing this protection plan in several impoverished kingdoms over the past few years.

This is simply putting it into the open and promoting it.

Therefore, they do have a certain degree of trust in the World Government, after all, the government has already taken action, and most of the funds and resources consumed in the process are borne by themselves.

The second agenda item, the "World Government's Heavenly Tribute Contribution Reform Bill," made the kings present even more uncomfortable.

Because this bill, frankly speaking...

The idea is to change the amount of Heavenly Tribute that all kingdoms were required to pay under the unified system, so that larger kingdoms pay more, smaller kingdoms pay less, rich kingdoms pay more, and poor kingdoms pay less.

The specific amount each country is required to hand over depends entirely on the rate published annually by the economists of the 'Heavenly Tribute Collection and Management Committee' mentioned in the document.

This is certainly a good thing for most kingdoms, since most of them are small and poor.

The problem is that the kings present could not be small or poor countries, otherwise they wouldn't be qualified to sit here.

So this is a bill that they themselves have to sign to make them pay more money every year.

Edward Newgate's expression immediately became subtle.

Because he didn't know what kind of country his Whitebeard Kingdom actually was.

Great power?

It doesn't seem to be very big; it's just a medium-sized island.

Rich Country?

They weren't very rich, but they weren't poor either.

Charlotte Linlin, on the other hand, didn't care much, because she wasn't interested in money and had never even touched it.

That's the truth.

From childhood to adulthood, when has she ever used money to buy what she wanted?

But then again...

Few of the kings present dared to refuse to sign, otherwise they would surely be condemned and cursed by everyone.

Over the years, how many kingdoms have fallen into poverty because of an abundance of Heavenly Tribute?

Now things are finally going to improve.

Do you still dare to refuse?

Finally, there was the third topic: the "Public Ownership of Devil Fruit and Registration of Devil Fruit User Act," which caused divisions, even among the viewers watching at home.

This bill aims to legally transfer all Devil Fruit to the World Government.

Anyone who discovers Devil Fruit in the wild is strictly prohibited from giving it to others or selling it.

You must proactively call the 'Holy Land Treasury Office' to report the incident, then go to the designated nearby Police Station and wait for officials from the Holy Land Treasury department to come and receive you.

However, those who report such items do not come away empty-handed. If information can be verified about the Devil Fruit they submit, they will receive a reward based on the assessed value.

If it is an unknown Devil Fruit, a reward of at least 100 million Beli will be given.

It can be said that...

Anyone who finds Devil Fruit and hands it over to the World Government can instantly become a billionaire.

Even.

If the Devil Fruit handed over were Logia Devil Fruit or Mythical Zoan, then it wouldn't be just a hundred or two hundred million.

But.

If given away or traded privately, the consequences will be severe once discovered. Depending on the value of the Devil Fruit, it could be considered a serious crime and could result in a prison sentence of five to ten years.

The key issue is serious criminal charges!

But what if you find it but don't give it to anyone else, or don't sell it, and choose to eat it yourself?

This is the place that makes many Sea Star people uncomfortable.

According to the provisions of the bill.

Once you choose to eat Devil Fruit, you need to go to the nearest Police Station to register your information and contact details.

If your address or phone number changes, you need to go to the Police Station to update the records as soon as possible.

This also includes those who are already Devil Fruit User.

When the World Government needs to mobilize them, they must obey and cooperate unconditionally, but they will be rewarded afterwards, and they will be commended for their merits.

However, if you refuse to register or are later found to have not registered for a long period of time, you will face hefty fines and mandatory registration if discovered by the police.

If someone refuses to be conscripted after registering, then the situation becomes even more serious.

You have to make at least one trip to Enies Lobby.

Therefore.

The "Devil Fruit Public Ownership and Devil Fruit User Registration Act" immediately caused a huge uproar throughout Sea Star, with discussions rising and falling like waves.

This also caused many ordinary Devil Fruit User to change their expressions drastically.

Ah, I've finally gotten to this point. I still remember discussing this bill with the other members of Congress in the group chat back then.

This book was truly crowdfunded; there were hundreds of members of parliament in the group!
