Navy, Army, Air Force!
Geothermal energy.
This is a pollution-free, clean energy source derived from magma deep within the planet, although Imu doesn't know much about the specific details.
But he knew one thing: the country that gave him birth and raised him in his previous life was the world's largest user of geothermal energy, which was enough to prove that this thing was reliable!
The underground thermal energy is converted into mechanical energy, and then the mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy. This is what is known as geothermal power generation!
The key is that as long as the rate at which heat is extracted does not exceed the rate at which it is replenished, it can actually be considered renewable. Not to mention the active volcano created by the Awakening ability of the Magma-Magma Fruit, which can theoretically erupt and exist indefinitely. Thermal energy is basically as abundant as one needs.
"For a civilization, energy is the engine of its development!"
Even if Imu was ignorant, he couldn't possibly be unaware of this. After all, he had received some education, and in this respect alone, he was far superior to his predecessor.
"Akainu's lava can generate perpetual geothermal energy, so Kizaru's Flashy Flash are perpetual light energy, and Dragon's hurricanes are wind energy! These are all clean, pollution-free energy sources!"
He got a little excited and stood up, pacing back and forth in the living room. He hadn't really thought about these things before, but now that he realized their immense value...
"Enel's Rumble-Rumble Fruit!!"
Imu stopped in his tracks, abruptly raising his head. His deep gaze seemed to penetrate the rooftops and reach the Sky Island above the White-White Sea.
"The previous ones were all converted into electrical energy, but the Awakening of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit directly provides electrical energy. Wasn't 'Pluton' charged with it back then?"
With this in mind, his determination to visit Sky Island grew stronger. The importance of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit was enough to warrant his personal involvement, and he could also take the opportunity to explore the unique scenery of Sky Island.
After calming down, I sat back on the sofa, poured myself a glass of red wine, drank it down, and then continued to write down my thoughts.
That's right, he actually wanted to spoil the plot for Vegapunk!
He also wanted to tell this Black Scientists, who was said to be 500 years ahead of human intelligence, the various theories of Devil Fruit proposed by the seafarers of his previous life, the general situation of the Pacifista, and some technologies from his previous life.
"I remember the key to the Pacifista is that he still needs the heart provided by the Op-Op Fruit and the Shape Memory Alloy material. He can figure out the former himself, to see if a regular heart can be used, and the latter..."
Imu looked up at the wooden box on the cabinet, inside which was the Paramecia Munch-Munch Fruit.
Actually, we could give him the Munch-Munch Fruit, and then reveal to him the process of Wapol creating shape memory alloys in the future. It shouldn't be too difficult to replicate it.
But the problem remains: Vegapunk's loyalty to the World Government is still questionable.
If he were to eat the Munch-Munch Fruit, he would no longer be an ordinary person, but a user with supernatural powers, which would increase the unpredictability of his abilities.
"Speaking of which, in my previous life, some people speculated that Vegapunk was related to the Revolutionary Army. But now that I've nipped the Revolutionary Army in the bud, if I do my best to help him restore warmth to the Future Kingdom, his heart should be fine."
Imu swirled his wine glass, watching the bright red liquid swirl inside, lost in thought. After a moment, he made a decision.
"Don't rush to give him the Munch-Munch Fruit, but you can give him these spoilers right away. We must strengthen the World Government's technological capabilities and equip the Navy with advanced firearms."
Previously, the Five Elders considered suppressing the navy and the cost issues, so even though the North Blue already had mature automatic rifles, submachine guns, and grenades, they still did not equip them with these weapons on a large scale.
The navy still uses ball-operated Flintlock, only modified to be breech-loading and automatic, but there's no real improvement in firepower.
While this type of firearms is sufficient for dealing with local One Piece and other forces, there are always officers with higher combat power to handle tough opponents.
However, if it were to wage war against other civilizations, this type of breech-loading Flintlock, capable of repeated fire, would be unsuitable.
In Imu's view, since better firearms are available, the army should naturally be equipped with the best. As for the cost, it will be recouped if the war is won, so why worry about resources?
Losing would be a bigger problem!
As for the issue of counterbalancing the navy, he actually already had some ideas, but one thing must be clear: the navy can be counterbalanced, but not excessively suppressed, otherwise the World Government will ultimately suffer the consequences.
Most importantly, Imu has a good understanding of the current generation of naval leaders, so there's nothing to worry about. As for the next generation of naval leaders, checks and balances will have already been implemented by then.
Currently, the development of firearms across the Four Seas is as follows: the East Blue is the slowest, with single-shot muzzle-loading Flintlock being the mainstream, and most people have never even seen Flintlock capable of automatic fire.
Two years ago, when Usopp was still in the East Blue, he couldn't recognize the Sixfold Strike Revolver from the South Blue that Mr. 5, the Bomber, was carrying, and even assumed that it could only fire one shot. He was quickly proven wrong.
From this perspective, the South Blue is somewhat better than the East Blue, at least in that repeating Flintlock have become the mainstream weapon.
Next is the West Blue, a sea area teeming with the Mafia, home to the 'Five Great Mafia Families,' which are quite famous in the Underworld.
Judging from the performance of the future Fire Tank Pirates, the level of firearms here is already at the level of World War I in the previous life, with each person equipped with a Mauser Rifle and a heavy machine gun.
Finally, there's the North Blue, which is basically full of modern breech-loading ammunition, at the level of World War II in my previous life. It has everything from submachine guns and grenades to Light Machine Gun, and can even build multi-barreled Gatling Gun. Doflamingo is selling these things right now.
In this way, the usefulness of this 'flamingo' becomes apparent!
"I need to get him to expand the scale of the weapons factory in the North Blue," Imu muttered to himself, then downed the glass of red wine in one gulp.
"Wait a minute, why are we changing into navy uniforms?"
He placed the wine glass back on the table, crossed his arms, and fell into deep thought.
"After the Star Gate is opened, there shouldn't be many other worlds like this one, most of which are sea. Even if wars break out in the future, they will likely be mainly land-based battles, so the role of the navy will not be as significant."
"Army."
Imu felt he should start paying attention to this force; the World Government's so-called Three Armies did not include Air Force, but rather a navy, Army, and the Holy Land Garrison.
Of course, the Air Force will definitely need to have one in the future.
As mentioned before, this Army has been responsible for guarding the Red Line and the Tequila Wolf for hundreds of years, so it's easy to imagine how much combat power it has left now.
"We should now begin to strengthen the training and equipment of the Army, turning them into a force capable of fighting tough battles!"
So the question is, who will train them?
"How about transferring Zephyr over here?" Imu asked himself.
In the end, he shook his head. Putting aside whether Zephyr was willing to be transferred to the Army, the Navy was also very important, since the core territory still needed the Navy to guard it.
As mentioned before, the navy can only be checked, not suppressed.
"Then who else is skilled in the Army training and combat?"
The second person Imu thought of was Garp, but he shook his head again when he thought of Garp's personality. Just then, a flash of inspiration struck him, and the face of a man in a black general's uniform appeared in his mind.
"Douglas Bullet, isn't he the one who grew up amidst war and became a general in the ' Country of Endless War based on his military achievements?"
"Moreover, the battles in the 'Country of Endless War' are entirely taking place on the island, purely Army warfare. The key point is that this kid is quite strong, and he's currently imprisoned in Impel Down!"
