Before I knew it, two months later.

Gawain stood on the bow of the Blackbird and gently raised his right hand.

"set sail."

He said a brief sentence, and nearly 600,000 people aboard and on board the Black Bird began to move!

Pulling up the anchor, turning on the power, the soldiers raised their weapons one after another, some raised their guns, some raised their swords.

Even the ordinary service staff put their right hands on their plump chests at this moment.

Their eyes were sincere and blurred, and they kept chanting the word "Sail" silently in their hearts.

And this is the change that Gawain has brought to the Black Bird in the past two months.

To put it more complicatedly, a war with a massacre nature, almost destroying the country, made Gawain's fear in others continue to increase.

To put it simply, it is...the emperor's power is too great!

Feeling the slow movement of the ship, Gao Wen pursed his lips indifferently and looked into the distance expectantly.

Noticing Gawain's movements, Gion and Hancock, whose hair was shaped into a woman's bun, gently held Gawain's arms.

Just listen to Gion whispering.

"Sir, now that we're going to Mariejoia, shouldn't it be time to start an era that truly belongs to us?"

"Of course."

Gawain nodded, his smile gradually deepening.

It has been a full year and nine months since I came to this world.

I finally took the most important step!

At this moment, as time continues to increase, materials from all over the world have been gradually mobilized and improved.

At the same time, at least more than sixty sections of sea trains in different directions are under construction!

This number is still increasing, and it is expected that it will not be until two years later that the production capacity is too low to expand the scale.

But at that time, what the Black Bird needed was still not resources, because the resources in this world were too abundant.

As long as you are willing to put in the effort, it will be almost impossible for resources to become scarce in a short period of time.

By then, what Gawain will probably lack will be direct wealth such as money, which is the way to continue mobilizing global resources.

so…….

Gawain always takes a look at the information related to Tezolo in his free time recently.

That guy is getting fatter and fatter, so we'll just wait two years before we give him a good chop!

In addition to economy, what Gawain lacked even more was military strength.

Note that military strength is not just about the number of strong men.

In the world of One Piece, the number of strong men determines the direction of the war. The side with more strong men is almost impossible to lose, while the side with less strong men can only win by cheating and exploding seeds.

But the military is different from war. The military strength Gawain needs is not just the soldiers needed for war.

His vocabulary also includes a series of important personnel such as the public security organs, prosecutors, and law enforcement agencies.

In other words, Gawain lacks enough police officers to supervise the entire Grand Line, and lacks enough practitioners to spread the laws and regulations of the Blackbird system.

Let's put it this way, Gawain lacks civil servants.

There is also a lack of troops stationed in various places!

Gawain, who has yet to fully stand on the stage, cannot yet completely unfurl his own banner and start a war against many kingdoms in the new world.

Therefore, the way he ruled the countries along the Grand Line could only imitate the United States today.

In fact, he could not even imitate Britain because he did not have the political status to make the country a colony.

In short, he wants to recruit troops, a large number of troops!

therefore…….

Gawain sets his sights on the starting point of the Great Route!

After he completely blocked the Grand Line, tons of pirates were destined to be stopped by them every year.

At that time, we will try our best to recruit those pirates and give them a more meaningful job and life.

Therefore, in Gawain's plan, at least one gentle and attractive monster must be placed at the starting point of the Grand Line to control the situation.

There is no doubt that Rayleigh got the job. In the next two years, the old man will personally sit at the starting point of the Great Line as the second-in-command of the Black Bird.

They didn't intend to give the pirates any chance, so they simply expanded the lighthouse in Culokas.

While it will be transformed into a great maritime train route and a four-sea link terminus, it will also become a secondary headquarters and troop transfer center for the Blackbird Alliance Army.

Of the nearly 350,000 veteran warriors on board the Black Bird, at least 150,000 will stay at the entrance to the new world. Each of them will become at least one squad leader in the future, and at the same time, one person will lead nine people. Expand the Black Bird's troop strength to more than twenty times.

Of course, although Rayleigh was rich in experience, he ultimately lacked a bit of sinisterness and ruthlessness.

This old man is getting older and has a senior mentality. Especially towards the little pirates, he has a playful mentality.

In order to prevent Rayleigh from being trapped by too many newcomers, he also let too many newcomers go.

Gawain arranged for Crocodile and Zefa to be stationed together, and also handed over the three brothers Ace, Sabo and Luffy to Rayleigh.

Rayleigh was Ace's godfather, so it was just right for him to discipline them. Zephyr also felt that the complex environment near the Upside Down Mountain was more suitable for him to discipline new students.

By the way, Zefa's deep hatred for pirates also destined him to be much more cruel and thorough in this job than Rayleigh.

At the same time, the existence of Old Yin Beep (silenced)... the master of strategy Crocodile also ensures that the vicinity of the Upside Down Mountain will not be surrounded by too many conspiracies of the kings of the four seas.

With this lineup, Gawain asked himself that even if the Yonko Pirates came in, they would not be defeated easily.

Not to mention the young pirates from all over the world.

Come to think of it, Crocodile and Zefa had no problem matching the big signboard.

After Ace got Prometheus, his strength continued to increase, and he was already at the level of a regular imperial deputy. Yamato may not be his opponent.

Although Sabo didn't eat the fruit, his strength gradually increased after experiencing Zefa's teachings.

As for Luffy, haha, his reputation as the Son of Destiny is in vain. He is already in second gear now, and third gear is probably not far away!

With such a lineup leading the millions of soldiers that are expected to expand within a year, even if they gather one of the world's most powerful forces to attack, they will not lose for a while.

The Vinsmoke family also unified the Western Sea for a period of time.

Although it is impossible for the team led by Rayleigh to fight against an entire sea, if they just resist, they will not be easily defeated no matter what.

In addition to Upside Down Mountain, Gawain also left a large number of troops in Alabasta.

Alabasta's geographical location is approximately in the middle of the Grand Route. At this time, Alabasta is also developing a sea train plan to connect the Grand Route horizontally.

That’s right!

The Grand Line does indeed have routes, and the fierce ocean currents do not allow the vast majority of ships to cross the routes and sail between different routes at will.

But the sea train is not that troublesome. Frankie said that it is not a problem at all.

Faced with a tsunami thousands of meters high, the sea train has no problem.

Can the strong currents still stump us?

Therefore, Yixiao led Shiliu and Doflamingo to station in Alabasta.

They will preside over the construction of the horizontal sea train in the future, so as to bloom from the midpoint and radiate the influence of the Black Bird to the entire great sea route as quickly as possible.

Of course, it couldn't be just three people who did this. The three of them also brought most of their subordinates with them.

For example, the Baroque Studio in Crocodile.

Or perhaps Doflamingo's family power.

There is also the Black Ice Platform of Robluqi, which is also mainly stationed in the middle section of the Grand Route.

The functions of these three organizations are all biased towards espionage investigation and covert agencies.

Although they do not belong to the same division, the work of integrating the Grand Line cannot be completed by individual divisions.

You have to keep up with the logistics, right?

Therefore, although the captains were stationed separately, the thirteen divisions were actually split into three parts, and were placed respectively with the Upside Down Mountain, Alabasta, and Shampoo Fishman Island as the centers.

In addition, since Yixiao and others are mainly operational agencies, their overall job is to investigate the chaotic situation in the countries within the Grand Line and intervene as appropriate.

Therefore, there were not many soldiers sent to them.

There are only about 70,000 people. Although this number will increase, it is still the smallest in size.

As for the remaining approximately 180,000 troops, there are also all the remaining strong men.

Ah.

Gawain personally led Gion and Mihawk to suppress the Chambord Islands and Fishman Island!

Compared with the Four Seas and the Grand Line, the New World is too powerful, really too powerful!
