[If we reach 100 Power Stones this week, I'll release 10 bonus chapters as a thank-you to everyone's support!]
....
"Rosen."
"Teacher, although I can't spare any effort to support your science class like the World Government does in allocating funds to the Egghead, I can still ensure that your science class is free from any constraints and can develop freely."
Sengoku did not report to the World Government, nor did he consult with any senior Marine officials. He made the decision directly.
This is the Buddhist Sengoku at its peak.
Have the capital to make decisions on your own.
"Tomorrow, there will be two more Whitebeards."
Rosen did not say any words of gratitude, but just said that he would transfer two more Edward Newgates to the Marine Headquarters tomorrow.
"Go ahead."
"What materials do you want?"
"Right now, immediately, make a list for me. I'll arrange for the fleet to purchase everything and have it delivered to you as quickly as possible. Shipping is free."
Sengoku clenched his fists, wishing he could give all the knowledge in the special science class of the headquarters to the science class of the first branch.
"The material problem has been solved."
Rosen said to Vinsmoke Judge.
This is why he insisted on establishing his own Marine headquarters.
The power of standing at the top of the ocean gives him the right to say no to anyone or any force.
Berry, who controls 20% of the world's power, can arm his forces with impunity.
Possessing the power to dominate the world, he doesn't have to do anything himself.
In addition, the principle we have always adhered to is to make more friends and fewer enemies.
No matter what happens, it can be solved perfectly and effortlessly.
Just like now, the problem that troubled Vinsmoke Judge, Rosen just made a phone call to Sengoku and said a few words, and all the problems were solved.
This is because the first branch has just been developed and it has been less than half a year.
As long as we continue, we can establish our own Marine headquarters and extend our reach to the Grand Line, instead of being limited to the four seas as it is now.
By then.
No matter how much supervision the world government puts in place, even without the help of the Sengoku, even if the scientific research materials for bloodline factors are only available in the Grand Line, he can still do it. With just one phone call and a few words, he can solve almost all the problems in the world.
"It looks like your First Branch is going to make a big move."
"Can I sit in?"
"Rosen."
Through the video call, Sengoku could see that Rosen and the others were in a meeting, and he couldn't help but become interested.
He did not rely on his position as the Fleet Admiral of the Marine to act arbitrarily in front of Rosen or force himself to attend the meeting. Instead, he asked Rosen for his opinion.
If he refuses, he will hang up the phone.
"Sure."
"But as for the black tea, Sengoku-sensei, you'll have to prepare it yourself."
In response to Sengoku's request to attend the trial, Rosen agreed immediately.
Even though he just transferred two Whitebeards and two Pirate Kings to the Marine Headquarters, which seemed like a lot, the First Branch had its own Musk, and things like Berry were just a pile of paper to him.
But the problem that Sengoku helped him solve could not be solved by money alone.
Looking around the world, the only person who can solve this problem, besides Imu, the Five Elders and the Saint Figarland Garling, may be Sengoku.
If it were another Marine admiral who was not firm enough in his words, not strong enough in strength, and did not have the Haki, he might not be able to do it.
It can be said that whether the payment was made or not is one thing, but Sengoku did indeed fulfill the promise he made with his actual actions, and while his peak period was still there, he tried his best to protect Rosen.
Even if we are facing the World Government, even if we are facing the Five Elders.
Rosen knew all of this and saw it all.
So, all along, he chose to value every sailor.
No matter whether the enemy is a general or a private, we should try our best to achieve zero casualties.
To this end, he did not hesitate to prepare a set of combat uniforms costing hundreds of millions of berries for a private in the branch, and even wanted to achieve the full popularization of combat uniforms for the Marine of the first branch.
"One year."
"Governor, just give me one year."
"I guarantee that the First Branch will thoroughly realize the universalization of the first generation combat uniform throughout the army."
Seeing that Rosen had solved the two biggest problems in scientific research, funding and supplies, Vinsmoke Judge was almost about to issue a military order.
"Will combat uniforms be universally adopted by the entire army?"
Sengoku, who was listening to the meeting via video call, narrowed his eyes and felt a surge of fear in his heart.
Even though he was far away in the Grand Line, he knew that the 1st Branch was no longer the same 1st Branch.
Before Rosen came to North Blue, the 1st branch had only about 200 soldiers, including those who did cleaning, laundry and cooking.
After Rosen arrived in North Blue, the strength of the First Branch doubled.
Putting aside the logistics soldiers who do laundry, cooking, and cleaning, there are at least a thousand soldiers who can go to the front line.
This is the result after conscription assessment and screening, otherwise there would be more troops.
According to Vinsmoke Judge, it would only take one year to fully implement combat uniforms for an army of a thousand people.
What a horrifying thing this is.
After all, the Germa 66 combat suit, even if it is just the first generation combat suit, is a world-renowned black technology weapon.
Whether it is the World Government, the countries of the world, or even the Four Emperors and the Revolutionary Army, any force wants to obtain this kind of combat suit that can give ordinary people superhuman defense, speed, strength, and flying ability after wearing it.
Such combat uniforms can be mass-produced and continuously upgraded.
Just when Sengoku was shocked by Rosen's ambition and horrified by the development speed of the 1st branch, Doll, the director of the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the 1st branch, stood up and taught the Fleet Admiral a lesson again.
"The Skynet surveillance system of Branch 1 has already covered the North Blue nations and all the major Marine branches."
"Through the video-recording Den Den Mushi installed in the various countries and branches of the Four Seas, as well as the Skynet system cameras, the Criminal Investigation Bureau has initially realized the Skynet plan to monitor the North Blue."
"Whether the cameras capture pirates' tracks or the local townspeople discover a pirate invasion, they can use the local Skynet system cameras and the alarm system equipped with the Image Den Den Mushi to request assistance from the nearby Marine base."
Doll reported to Rosen in detail the current work of the Criminal Investigation Bureau:
"In addition to the nearby Marine bases, we will also receive an alert. If any Marine fails to act, they will be subject to military law. If the Marine at the nearby base is defeated, we can also dispatch Marines from other bases to provide support."
"Going forward, as long as we continue to increase the number of video phone bugs and Skynet system cameras, we can continuously improve the coverage and monitoring capabilities of the Skynet system."
"Until we monitor the four seas and even the Grand Line."
Doll's report almost made Sengoku, who was listening, stand up in shock.
What is the Skynet system camera?
Although it was the first time he heard it, he roughly understood through the Image Den Den Mushi that this was a device with similar functions to the Image Den Den Mushi.
However, the Image Den Den Mushi is a living organism, while the Skynet system camera is a technological creation.
As for what Doll said, establishing a Skynet monitoring system covering all countries in the world is really too horrifying.
Whether it is the initial investment or the later maintenance, it is all burning money.
Even the Marine Headquarters might not be able to accomplish such a thing, but the 1st Branch commanded by Rosen managed to do it quietly.
Thinking of this, Sengoku shifted his gaze to Gild Tesoro.
The only person who could provide such a huge amount of funds to build the Skynet surveillance system was the Golden Emperor who ate the Gol-Gol Fruit.
But that's not enough.
His gaze shifted to Vinsmoke Judge.
Having money to build the Skynet surveillance system is not enough, the technology must also be available. Besides Vegapunk, the only other person who can do this is Vinsmoke Judge.
But that's not enough.
His gaze shifted to Douglas Bullet.
To manufacture Skynet system cameras, and to complete large-scale mass production in a very short period of time so that they can cover all the countries in the North Blue, such human and material resources are beyond the reach of a branch science class that has only been established for less than a year.
To achieve this level, one must use the Devil's Descendant's Fusion Fruit.
