A few days later, kings began to arrive in Dressrosa, led by King Riku's friend, Elizabello II.
As the king of the Providence Kingdom, a true neighbor of Dressrosa, he knew best what changes had occurred in Dressrosa since Luo Wen's arrival.
It's somewhat shameful to admit that he didn't even realize that his close friend King Riku, had been imprisoned by Doflamingo for many years.
It was only thanks to Luo Wen that Dressrosa and King Riku were rescued.
Feeling guilty, coupled with the tangible changes in Dressrosa, led him to boast wildly to a group of observing kings.
It's like they hired a shill by Luo Wen!
With the encouragement of King Elizabeth II and the personal testimony of King Riku, the kings, after conducting on-site investigations, decisively joined the Illuminati.
The kings who came, including Elizabello II, numbered fifteen. Adding Dressrosa and the Tontatta Tribe of the Tontatta, a total of seventeen nations joined the Illuminati.
Compared to the more than 170 Affiliated Nation of the World Government and even the more than 300 countries in the world, it is naturally nothing.
But for Luo Wen's Illuminati, it was a good start.
This organization is thriving!
"Luo Wen, we entrust our country to you!"
King Elizabeth II and a group of kings stood before Luo Wen, smiling broadly as they spoke.
"Don't worry, I'll have Neo Marines wipe out all the pirates around you later."
Luo Wen was quite pleased to make the promise.
"Haha, then we look forward to Luo Wen's big move!"
Upon hearing this, the kings beamed with joy.
Isn't this exactly what they came here for?
The changes in Dressrosa are obvious to all; pirates avoid it like the plague, and the country is much safer now.
Moreover, under Luo Wen's protection, they no longer needed to pay any Heavenly Tribute.
Congratulations! Congratulations!
"Luo Wen, we won't stay any longer."
Having achieved their goal, the kings bid farewell to Luo Wen and returned home beaming.
Before leaving, they each took with them the flags of the Illuminati.
A Sun Wheel Divine Spear hangs in the center of the flag, its golden divine light radiating out like an umbrella.
This means a protective umbrella!
"Great, great, the Illuminati doing well too."
Luo Wen watched the kings depart, feeling very pleased.
The inclusion of these countries will not only enhance the Illuminati's power but also bring them great benefits.
Each country, depending on its national circumstances and level of protection, is required to pay a sum of money as membership fees for the Illuminati and as military expenses for the Neo Marines.
Although the Neo Marines was newly established, all of Luo Wen's money was focused on Neo Marines expansion, so he did not benefit from it for the time being.
However, the expansion of Neo Marines's power is a huge benefit for him.
The real harvest of Beli's power only began after Neo Marines had expanded to a certain extent and stabilized.
According to the results of a calculation he had specially commissioned.
Once things stabilized initially, aside from the expenses of maintaining the Neo Marines, each country could provide him with an average of 400 to 500 million Beli per year.
Seventeen countries, that's only 6 to 7 billion Beli in revenue each year.
He couldn't even imagine how much money he would have if he controlled the whole world.
I'm afraid that a template could be filled up in a year.
As for the absolute power that comes with controlling the world, Luo Wen didn't take it seriously.
After all, with his current power, all authority is meaningless.
Even if he acts like a lord, the pirate world has to obediently submit and let him do whatever he wants!
After a short while, Luo Wen stopped thinking about it. He turned around and arrived at the former Donquixote Family's residence, now the headquarters of the Neo Marines.
Although Luo Wen is nominally the commander-in-chief of the Neo Marines, Luo Wen doesn't really manage anything except for the finances.
The Neo Marines was entrusted with the management and development of Gion and Hina.
Gion was not only a candidate for Admiral, but also had a sisterly relationship with the Chief of the Naval Staff, Gion. Putting her in charge of the Neo Marines was a perfect fit for her expertise.
At this time, the two of them were still busy with the expansion of the Neo Marines and the establishment of various systems.
"Gion, Hina, I need to trouble you again."
"Fifteen countries have just joined the Illuminati; Neo Marines are needed to clear out the surrounding pirates."
Luo Wen a smile, Lowen issued new instructions.
At her desk, Gion, who was writing furiously, rolled her eyes and gave Luo Wen a reproachful look.
"You rascal, you're causing me trouble again!"
Gion gritted her teeth and said bitterly.
She's incredibly busy right now, and she even has to go hunt down pirates; she's practically a superhero.
"There's nothing I can do; I have no one else to rely on. I guess I'll have to rely on you, my Admiral."
Luo Wen walked behind Gion and gently massaged her shoulders.
"Press down!"
Gion comfortably enjoyed Luo Wen's service and even gave him orders.
She helps Luo Wen with chores during the day and also helps Luo Wen with chores at night, so it's only right that she enjoys herself a little!
"Yes, Admiral Momousagi!"
Luo Wen readily complied and adjusted the orientation according to Gion's instructions.
Just like Luffy wants to become the King of the Pirates, he also wants to become Marine Admiral.
Now that he has achieved success, it's only right that he massages the Marine Admiral.
Hina, standing nearby, was quite jealous. She was working hard too, so why couldn't she come and give her a massage?
"Hmph! Hina's been working hard, she wants a vacation!"
Hina put down the documents in her hand and snorted coldly.
"Okay, okay, I'll massage you!"
Luo Wen then turned to Hina and gave her a massage as well.
These are the small goals we didn't achieve yet, but it's okay to give them a little push.
"Ah?"
Hina felt a warm hand on her shoulder, which made her feel a little dazed.
She hadn't expected that Luo Wen would actually give her a massage.
For a moment, she felt a little flattered.
You're a powerful figure like one of the Four Emperors, how can you be so approachable?
To be honest, Luo Wen really had a good technique; he made her feel quite comfortable.
Hina unconsciously relaxed and even started to enjoy it.
However, when Hina turned her head and saw Gion's ambiguous smile, Hina blushed slightly.
Having your friend's man massage you in front of your friend is really going too far.
Hina blushed and whispered to Luo Wen, "Luo Wen- sama, why don't you go to Gion- neechan for a massage? I'm all better now."
It's done so quickly? Thank goodness you're not a man!
Luo Wen shook his head, then returned to Gion's side and began massaging her temples.
Seeing Gion 'Luo Wen considerate manner, Gion's resentment had mostly dissipated, and she said somewhat helplessly, "I will lead men to wipe out the pirates from those countries. However, we might not have enough manpower."
The Neo Marines was newly established, with its core force consisting of over 2,000 naval personnel from the G-5 Branch. While there were many new recruits, they were still in the training phase and could only maintain internal security for the time being.
To clear out the surrounding pirates, we still need the strength of 2,000 elite troops.
Although these 2,000-plus naval personnel are all elite, and these countries are not very large, it is really a bit too much to expect 2,000-plus people to protect the territories of seventeen countries.
"Don't worry, these countries are all near Dressrosa, not too far away."
"Furthermore, I'll find you some help. Moria has a few former CP9 agents on his side, they're quite capable, I can transfer them to you."
Luo Wen said comfortingly.
The former CP9 agents are naturally Lucci, Kaku, Jabra, Fukurou, Fukurou, Bruno, Nero.
After cleaning the toilets on Moria's ship for over a month and achieving the achievement that even the toilets of the Four Emperors are worth grinding, he has completely joined Luo Wen's ranks.
These people are generally of the caliber of naval captains and generals, with the strongest, Lucci, possessing the level of an elite Vice Admiral.
This would definitely be a significant boost for the newly formed Neo Marines.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony."
Gion smiled, feeling much more at ease.
Then, she remembered the boastful words that Luo Wen had once made and couldn't help but laugh, "My lord, you once said you would bring Admiral Aokiji and Admiral Zephyr over, why haven't you made any moves?"
"Are you just bragging?"
As she spoke, Gion revealed a teasing smile.
"Well, it'll be ready soon!"
Luo Wen touched his nose, feeling slightly embarrassed.
He has this idea and is ready to put it into practice at any time.
As a result, the World Government remained completely silent.
I've heard neither that Akainu Fleet Admiral nor that Whitebeard Jr.. has joined the Shichibukai.
Luo Wen was worried for the World Government.
They're not even proactive in digging their own graves; they're incredibly inconsiderate!
