In reality, excluding the two years of training, Luffy has spent no more than half a year in the New World.
He became the fifth Emperor!
In the East Blue, the series of battles lasted less than 20 days, and the initial confrontation between Alabasta and Crocodile took only one month. But at that time, there was no user of the mobile phone fruit.
In other words, now it takes Luffy less than a month to reach the Grand Line, and just half a year to gain fame and become one of the Worst Generation in history.
This also means that the War of the Best is approaching.
The arrival on the scene of the Strongest Man in the World, Edward Newgate, also signifies the birth of the most evil devil fruit power holder in the world.
Eras are constantly alternating cycles, the Era of the Pirates of Rocks, the Era of Whitebeard, or the Era of Blackbeard.
But Alabasta will remain eternal throughout these times, always playing a supporting role.
"But why must we only be the background?" Ezekiel wondered. "Why can't Alabasta take center stage?"
In the past, this didn't work because of weakness.
But even with Ezekiel's strength and Poseidon's power, it's not enough.
Alabasta is a country, and it is indeed difficult for it to fight as freely as pirates do.
But now things will be different.
Since the North Blue market was fully opened, the sales of Alabasta Royal Mobile phones have been growing at an astonishing rate.
So, the mobile phone fruit has finally been upgraded again!
430 million, 450 million, 480 million...
500 million!
The initial sales volume was over 400 million, but it eventually broke through to 500 million.

All Creatures are Equal (upgraded to intermediate level): can provide the user with an additional talent limit of 20 GB
Elementary virtual games: adding artificial intelligence technology and personality storage]
Level 10 can be a huge breakthrough. For levels 1-9, only 100 million users were required, but from level 9 to level 10, an additional 400 million people were needed. It's quite possible that the results of this upgrade will also be astounding.
In addition to changes in the basic panel, there are two very impressive upgrades.
The first is the increase in the additional talent limit with "All Creatures are Equal" to 20 GB.
The second is the changes in virtual games. Although these are still simple games and the domain of the gaming world hasn't changed, it has awakened an extremely terrifying ability - artificial intelligence technology and personality storage!
This feature is absolutely comparable in significance to the power of Poseidon!
Any virtual game is inseparable from artificial intelligence. Otherwise, how do you create intelligent non-player characters? Ezekiel can create countless Kaidos in this world, but no Kaido can possess wisdom, otherwise Zephyr wouldn't have to perform in the guise of Kaido. There are many directions for the development of artificial intelligence technology.
The essence of personality storage is not creation, but the ability to draw the consciousness of deceased individuals into the virtual world for eternal preservation.
Well, Ezekiel was curious whether he could draw the souls of deceased powerful individuals into the virtual world and convert them into artificial intelligence, which would be absolutely loyal to him using personality storage technology while preserving 100% of all they had before death.
If combined with body cloning technology, and finally providing the created clones with sufficient energy through the Mobile Fruit download...
This would be the highest level, akin to resurrecting the dead!
This is by no means a figment of imagination, but a great power that will become reality with various heaven-defying abilities, such as the Lineage Factor, cloning technology, Mobile Fruit download capability, and preservation of human consciousness.
This is a completely justifiable reality!
So how can a dead soul become a mobile phone user to transfer its soul into the virtual world?
First, it must happen right after their death, and they must be nearby.
The second possibility is Captain Thriller Bark, Gekko Moria, a man with the Shadow Fruit ability and one of the Shichibukai!
With his ability, a personality that has been dead for years can be resurrected. Although the resurrected person will not possess the strength they had in life, it is undoubtedly true that they will retain their consciousness.
In other words, even zombies fully meet the requirements for mobile phone users.
Ezekiel needed to go there.
A smile appeared at the corners of Ezekiel's lips as he entered the administrative hall and sat on his throne.
"Good news?" Fujitora rarely saw the King this happy.
"It might be good, or it might be bad," Ezekiel said meaningfully, looking at Fujitora, and then he said something that almost made Fujitora fall.
"Fujitora-san..." "Do you have any deceased people you would like to resurrect?"
Fujitora's pupils contracted, and the strength left his hands. A layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead, and then he looked at Ezekiel and asked:
"Are you joking?"
But he was wrong. Ezekiel, who loved to joke with him on ordinary days, was very serious this time.
"Do you really think I would joke about something like this?"
Fujitora was silent for ten minutes.
For the first time, he had an unprecedented interest in the King's devil fruit.
What on earth is this thing?
Is it really a devil fruit?
No, it's definitely more than just a devil fruit!
In recent years, many lucky individuals have consumed devil fruits, but a fruit with the power to resurrect the undead?! Is this King capable of such a thing?
"I've only heard of an ability called the Yomi Yomi no Mi, which allows the user to resurrect from the dead, and the Shadow Fruit, capable of manipulating corpses, but until now, I've never heard of true resurrection from the dead," Fujitora said in surprise. In his heart, there were some strange expectations. He didn't feel the slightest fear of this power that defies the laws of the world and even somewhat hoped that Ezekiel would turn out to be even stronger!
After all, he is the true King on whom he has placed his hopes.
If this power is real, then he will be more confident in realizing his "evil thought".
