That night, with the campfire burning brightly, the Whitebeard Pirates gathered together after finishing their training.

"Pops."

Just then, a female pirate with long, wavy, light blue hair, wearing a pirate hat, came over carrying some newspapers.

Ice Witch Peggy was the captain of one of the pirate crews under the Whitebeard Pirates, but she has now become a member of the main crew.

Not only Peggy, but also captains of other pirate crews.

"What's up?"

Nearby, Jozu was tearing into an unknown meaty leg.

" With Pops gone for a year, many forces are stirring, and our territory has shrunk considerably!"

Pei's face was grim; her once perfect features were now contorted with rage.

"Show me."

Whitebeard had several medical vials on him and waved to Peggy.

"Pops, back in Alabasta, the Big Pirates and the Beasts Pirates both attacked us, but the Red-Haired Pirates stopped them; now Pops you haven't shown up for a year, other forces are starting to make their moves."

"Country!"

Whitebeard wasn't concerned with territorial matters; instead, he set his sights on the country.

After reading all the messages, Whitebeard frowned, then said nonchalantly, "Ignore it, let them make a fuss."

With a murderous glint in his eyes, Whitebeard now only wanted Ace and the others to grow stronger.

"Jozu, go and thank the Red-Haired Pirates."

Finally, Whitebeard turned his gaze to Jozu. Many of his territories had been attacked this year, and it was thanks to the Red-Haired Pirates in dealing with the situation that Whitebeard had been able to have so much free time to teach Ace and the others.

"Yes, Pops!"

Jozu nodded.

Time is running out.

After taking a swig of strong liquor, the Whitebeard gazed at the endless starry sky and sighed inwardly.

Since the battle in Alabasta, his health has been deteriorating, but before he dies, he doesn't mind taking some guys who pose a danger to Ace with him.

After a year of development, everything in the country is on the right track. Looking out from a high vantage point, one can see train tracks speeding along in all directions.

Originally, Whole Cake Island was severely damaged in the battle, but in the past year, Kalifa used her abilities to not only repair the damage to Whole Cake Island, but also expand her territory even further.

Pavilions and towers, wide streets, and shops line the streets, and people of all races can be seen coming and going everywhere.

Statistics show that the death toll reached tens of millions that year.

That's right, it's tens of millions. The number may seem small, but if the actual corpses were piled up, they would form a mountain.

Why did so many people die?

That's because the laws of the Divine City have been implemented, and many nobles cannot accept them. For them, equality means the deprivation of their rights, so they start causing trouble.

The ultimate consequence of causing trouble is death.

Throughout the year, the entire nation came to realize God's cruelty. He gave no chance to speak; anyone who broke the law was executed without regard to urgency. He ruled entirely through slaughter.

All residents of the country have only two choices: either live in accordance with the law or die. There is no third option.

Therefore, many nobles offered bounties for God's head in the Underworld, but they never returned. Even Divine City could hardly approach, let alone the imperial palace.

After a full year of high-pressure policies, at the cost of tens of millions of deaths, the country began to stabilize.

There may be some monsters and demons lurking in the shadows, but no one dares to show their faces in the open.

Leaving aside the renowned Thunder God and his ilk, the sheer number of soldiers and generals in the country is not something ordinary people can handle.

The closer you get to the palace, the denser the guards become; almost all of them are generals. You should know that the country's generals are the combination of the highest level of clones and artificial Devil Fruits, and their strength is difficult even for a Navy Rear Admiral to handle.

Of course, besides the bloodshed, there were many good things in the country this year.

For example, a Gran Tesoro was built in the capital city of Divine City. It is said to have been built by the world's richest Gild Tesoro, and its area is almost the size of a city. Everything You Need Auction House all kinds of facilities and is famous far and wide!

There's also a Rogue Rabbit Amusement Park, which is larger than Gran Tesoro. Most importantly, it includes more than 80% of the world's rides and attractions. For example, the roller coaster connects more than ten floating islands.

The most flamboyant thing is that there is a huge rabbit statue over a hundred meters tall in the center of the amusement park, as if afraid that no one would know whose territory this is.

As everyone knows Divine City a floating continent in the sky, and there are various mountains and rivers surrounding Divine City.

Yes, the entire capital city is like a fairyland, existing only in legends.

Someone took a picture that year, which immediately caused a worldwide sensation.

This has attracted many tourists, which is why the country has gotten back on track. After all, a large flow of tourists means economic benefits. Moreover, the country's laws were initially met with resistance, but people only realized their advantages after getting used to them.

The first to benefit are naturally the lower-class residents. As for the higher-ups, the nobility, they are now as obedient as quails. Didn't you see the piles of corpses that were there recently?

Tens of millions of corpses is no small number; even if you were given a knife, you could kill until your hands were sore.

Therefore, no one dares to object to the orders given by Kalifa and Reiju; clearly, the killing has had an effect.

That's why, in just one year, the various train tracks were initially connected, perhaps still in a very rudimentary form, but as time goes by, they will surely be able to connect the entire country.

The booming economy and the rule of law have yielded results in just one year.

However, the country did not reclaim all the territory originally under Big Mo's control.

The main hall of the Imperial Palace on the God's Island the Divine City was now filled with people.

Everyone, including Caesar and Enel, sat in their designated seats.

"Let's look at the details!"

Sitting on the throne, Ye Chen expressionlessly tossed the documents in his hand onto the table.

"BS, we've confirmed it."

Reiju frowned slightly, her long pink hair cascading down her back, her expression somewhat serious.

"Besides Totto Land Whole Cake Island, Big Mori also has many islands in remote waters, including several valuable ones that have all been occupied."

"Corn Island."

"Sweet Potato Island."

"Fruit Island."

"Vegetable Island."

Iron Ore Island.

Crystal Island.

"Gold mine."

"Besides these, there are many other islands, including numerous iron and gold mines, which have all been divided up by other forces."

"If I remember correctly, I asked you to notify those forces that have extended their claws a year ago!"

Tapping the golden chair with one hand, Ye Chen narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing within them.

"I've already notified them."

Reiju's expression remained calm without offering much explanation, but it was clear from the current situation that she had been rejected.

After all, these islands are very rich, and the profits they bring each year are absolutely unimaginable, enough to make anyone envious.

Leaving aside the terrifying profits from iron and gold mines, the mere existence of Corn Island and Sweet Potato Island is enough to drive people crazy.

After all, the world is vast, and many kingdoms are in the midst of war. And what is most valuable in war? Besides weapons, it's food.

As their names suggest, Corn Island is entirely dedicated to corn production, while Sweet Potato Island is dedicated to sweet potato production, and most importantly, their output is enormous.

As long as the profit is big enough, people will be fearless, whether it's God or the Four Emperors. That's human nature!
