Chapter 505
Although Zhou Tian has many enemies, he does not dare to ignore the existence of the banking alliance. Otherwise, if there is really such a powerful enemy, then there is no need to wait until now, if the other party has that kind of strength to strike early, it is estimated that Zhou Tian will not look like a person who can hold on to the present.
In this way, since most of Zhou Tian's enemies did not have the courage and ability to directly attack them at that time, the difficulties he would encounter were naturally some small means they secretly used.
He was not afraid of anything else, he was afraid that those who were hostile to him would secretly attack the bank he opened. As long as they don't do things without leaving a lot of trouble, even if they destroy the bank that Zhou Tian opened? If this kind of thing is exposed, they will not escape death, but if there is no evidence to prove that they have done this kind of thing, then Zhou Tian will only suffer a dumb loss.
Although the means were a bit inferior, Zhou Tian was sure that his enemies were not unable to do such a thing. It is precisely because Zhou Tian knows very well the reason why his enemies may do that, so even if he knows what forces are standing behind him, but after gaining their support, Zhou Tian still did not take much action.
The Dwarven Empire is not afraid of anything happening when he opens a bank, and the Dwarven Empire has a request for him, so although they may not like the bank much, it is absolutely impossible for them to drag him back in this matter. And as long as the dwarves don't help their enemies or even help him, Zhou Tian will not have any problems opening a bank in his empire.
But even if he believed that those dwarves would not mess around at that time, Zhou Tian did not open too many branches in his empire, but only opened a dwarven empire head office in the name of testing the waters, and Zhou Tian went back to the territory directly.
At the beginning, Zhou Tian would have behaved like that, one was to prepare to go back to the territory to receive the reward of the Wanjie Supermarket, and the other and most importantly, in addition to his own territory, Zhou Tian didn't know at all at that time, where he opened the bank at that time, and he could feel safe.
Even if the country where Zhou Tian opened the bank supported him, it was not his own strength that was unreliable, and it was not their business, or it was not their responsibility, it was clear from thinking that even those empires that had shares in it could not really put much energy into supporting their actions when Zhou Tian opened the bank.
Thus, with Zhou Tian himself not having many available people to send to protect the safety of those branches, he could only open a bank in a limited number of places that could be considered safe. It is only when other regions see how convenient the operation of the bank is, and confirm that it is beneficial for them to open a bank on their territory, that they will truly support the business that Zhou Tian is doing now.
I believe that according to Zhou Tian's original plan, he will still be able to achieve some achievements in the end. It's just that if Zhou Tian does it, if he really wants to open banks all over the mainland, he doesn't know how long it will take.
However, it is obvious that no matter how Zhou Tian planned it, after his return from the Pirate World, now that his harvest can greatly enhance the power in his hands, the plan that originally needed to be developed slowly was definitely possible at that time as long as Zhou Tian wanted to, then he must have been able to make changes at that time.
With the strength to protect the branches he opened, there was no need for Zhou Tianzi to wait for the right time any longer.
As for where he got the men to guard those branches?
After Zhou Tian returned from the pirate world this time, what kind of gains did he have?
First of all, it goes without saying that power rock, although under normal circumstances, he doesn't need that 'weapon', but just like the navy is preparing to fight against ancient weapons in the future, if Zhou Tianzhen encounters a strong enemy, after Zhou Tian takes out this 'big killing weapon' in a lot of time, it can not only deter his own enemy, but even directly play a role in victory.
Secondly, at that time, Zhou Tian also got a batch of Devil Fruits that could produce strong people in batches in the Pirate World, as long as everything was as he thought, and the Devil Fruits could also work in the world where he was, then Zhou Tian, who brought back a large number of Devil Fruits, was equivalent to bringing back the same strong people at that time.
Devil Fruits are not as powerful as they seem, at least after knowing their weaknesses and characteristics, it is not impossible to take them down with some targeted arrangements. But while the weakness is obvious, the strength of the Devil Fruit is undoubted.
Even if it is a four-emperor-level existence in the pirate world, it will not let go when it encounters a powerful Devil Fruit ability, if it is placed in the world where Zhou Tian is, an existence like a Devil Fruit, even if it is not a powerful fruit ability, it is estimated that after knowing its existence, no one will refuse their power!
For Zhou Tian, in the world where he was at that time, the strength that the Devil Fruit could improve didn't matter, in short, compared to the Pirate World, it had a great advantage inherently.
As long as the ability of the Devil Fruit does not disappear, then even if there is no systematic improvement, in Zhou Tian's opinion, its ability can still be regarded as powerful. Because unlike the situation in the Pirate World, even if the power represented by the Devil Fruit has not changed, but because there is no corresponding weakness, the same ability can be used at that time, and the effect it can play is completely different from before.
Without the sea tower stone and domineering, even the area of the ocean has become much smaller. In the case of being careful of the enemy and not knowing its weaknesses, all you need is a natural Devil Fruit, and no matter how weak an existence is lucky enough to get that power, it is enough to become a strong person in an instant.
As for the other types of Devil Fruits, although they do not have the ability to defy the heavens that can be called elemental, but they can use the power of that Devil Fruit, then anyone can say that they have received a very strong boost. Enemies who might not have been able to fight by themselves, as long as they use the ability of the Devil Fruit, not to mention surprise, even if they are a head-on battle, the effect they can play is enough to multiply their combat power several times.
After the already quite powerful existence obtained the ability of the Devil Fruit, it would definitely be even more powerful. And even if it is an existence with average strength, as long as they have obtained the ability of the Devil Fruit, then the ability to develop the Devil Fruit is enough for them to grow in a short period of time.
In Zhou Tian's world, even if the level of strength has become higher, but in the absence of the corresponding restraint ability, if the Devil Fruit is used well, unless they encounter gods and demons, they can still become an existence that is not weaker than the average strong person in the level that Zhou Tian is in contact with.
Although when facing strong enemies, Zhou Tian didn't think that his men and horses would be able to really help him take down those enemies after receiving the help of Devil Fruits. It is believed that as long as it is not against the top powerhouse, the enemy whose strength is worse than Zhou Tian's line, after those under him get the power of the Devil Fruit, it is estimated that Zhou Tian will no longer need to go out in person.
Undoubtedly, if Zhou Tian had a group of people under his command who had obtained the Devil Fruit, then with the help of this newly acquired power, they would be able to play a big role at that time. I believe that as long as Zhou Tian makes good use of their strength, many things that he didn't dare to do can be tried to do at that time.
At the very least, if he opened a branch on Sunday, then he couldn't have guarded it himself, and if he had a group of guards who had obtained the ability of the Devil Fruit, he would be able to send them out. I believe that it is not possible to deal with extremely strong existences, but if ordinary beings want to cause sabotage, then Zhou Tian will send them out to guard the branch they have opened, and there should be no problem.
Therefore, if he still had some scruples about opening a bank on Sunday in the past, then now that he has obtained a batch of Devil Fruits, as soon as his shortcomings are made up, the problems that he originally needed to consider will not be difficult for him.
Merely......
At that time, Zhou Tian's series of changes were theoretically not a problem, and I believe that after digesting his own gains, Zhou Tian would most likely transform his collection of Devil Fruits into combat power. But at that time, Zhou Tianxiang thought like that, but if he really wanted to realize his idea, he first needed to confirm one thing first.
Is the Devil Fruit still useful in the world he was in at the time?
In fact, when Zhou Tian first acquired those Devil Fruits from the Pirate World, he had been worrying about that problem since then. It is precisely for this reason that Zhou Tianming has a large amount of CSB but does not exchange all of them for Devil Fruits, but after earning a lot of CSB, he only takes out part of his wealth and exchanges them for Devil Fruits.
Although Zhou Tian still collected a lot of Devil Fruits like that at that time, in a way, Zhou Tian did not collect Devil Fruits with all his strength at that time, which also reduced the number of Devil Fruits he could bring back by half.
Of course, at this time, how many Devil Fruits he brought back was not an important matter, if the Devil Fruit was still useful in his world, then no matter how much he brought back, it would be a big gain, and if the Devil Fruit had no effect in his world, then how many Devil Fruits he brought back would be a matter of loss.
And Wanjie Supermarket doesn't have a customer service, and because of this reason, Zhou Tian's heart is also uncertain about whether the Devil Fruit is useful in the world where it is located. But no matter what the result was at that time, Zhou Tian couldn't delay the matter, otherwise it didn't matter if he could use the Devil Fruit to improve his strength, if Zhou Tian wasted too much time in the early preparation period, when he did something in the future, he would also add difficulty to himself.
Last but not least, if he didn't know if the Devil Fruit would be useful in his world, it would have been much more difficult for Zhou Tian to prepare. And he can't even be sure how strong the power in his hands is, so when he makes plans next, Zhou Tian is not easy to make arrangements.
"Whether you live or die depends on what happens. ”
Knowing that no matter what the result was, it was already doomed from the beginning, and now at this time, no matter how entangled he was, it was meaningless, according to the situation at the time, after Zhou Tian reacted, he directly made the decision to let his cronies take the Devil Fruit.
"Anna, you go and call Parker and them. ”
"Yes, my lord!"
Listening to the fox girl's words, Zhou Tian suddenly felt bored at that time.
Since when did the fox girl beside him become so 'polite' to him?
Originally, although Zhou Tian was very important to the orcs under him, it can be said that it was precisely because of his help that the orcs under him were able to solve the problem of food and clothing. It is precisely because Zhou Tian has helped them so much that before he officially committed treason, even if the orcs under his command knew that Zhou Tian was sometimes fighting against the orc empire, they still pretended not to know about it.
But no matter how important Zhou Tian was to the orcs around him, because he didn't have too many shelves, like Anna, although she was obviously his maid, because they started as friends at the beginning, so in terms of attitude, Anna didn't have any sense of awe for Zhou Tian as a servant.
But maybe it's because Zhou Tian has been busy improving his strength and territory for a long time and rarely has contact with him, or maybe it's because the continuous improvement of his status has begun to make the people around him feel the pressure. In short, judging from Anna's attitude at the moment, she can no longer communicate with Zhou Tianqi as 'no big or small'.
Zhou Tian felt a little stunned by such a change, but he also knew that even if he didn't want to see such a change, Anna's attitude could not be changed. After all, the gap in identity is there, just like the emperor wants to be friends with civilians, it is still possible when he doesn't know his identity, once his friends know his identity, then according to the identity of the commoner, can he really turn a blind eye to the emperor's identity?
The hierarchical status exists in any world, even in the earth, it is impossible to really become friends with the workers, not to mention whether there is a common topic, not to mention whether there is a common topic, it is the sense of oppression brought about by the gap between the identities of the two sides, which dooms the party with a lower status to be estranged from the 'friend' whose status is higher than his own.
Originally, Zhou Tian hadn't thought about it in that direction, but as the time between the two sides shortened, he didn't expect that the scene he didn't want to see finally appeared. At this moment, in the face of Anna's attitude, although Zhou Tian knew that this situation was inevitable, he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
It's just that no matter how uncomfortable Zhou Tian was at that time, with the change of his identity, it was absolutely inevitable that Zhou Tian knew this situation. In this way, no matter how unhappy she is, she can only silently recognize the change in Anna's attitude at that time.
Of course, what Zhou Tian was thinking in his heart did not affect Anna's actions, and he didn't think too much after hearing Zhou Tian's order, so he called Zhou Tian's old team in shortly after he went out according to Zhou Tian's order.
