After bidding farewell to Whitebeard, Aree crossed the open sea aboard the Blackbeard and returned to his own territory. As soon as his feet landed, he immediately arranged the next plan to promote the integration of the pirate forces.

The proximity to the god's body gave him a lot of energy, and the experience of governing the Celtic provinces and the highland kingdoms gave him a wealth of experience, and Areley knew exactly what he was going to do next and what to do.

Next, he needs to enhance his voice in the uncharted area, which is a necessary condition for accelerating the integration of pirate forces, and it is also an important tool to influence the will of "One Piece" in the future.

The right to speak on the sea, in addition to being closely related to the strength of the big boss himself, also depends on the military and economic strength of the sphere of influence, and the two are best to go hand in hand.

In terms of economy, Yalei knew that most of the islanders who couldn't read could do anything, so he planned to do it himself. He has the authority of the governor of the empire, and his power is almost heavenly, and many technical difficulties are no more than the difficulty of a letter to him.

first support a number of local industries, join hands with Whitebeard, slowly squeeze the living space of middlemen, and finally let them hand over their interests and get out.

In terms of military affairs, it is definitely not possible to rely on a bunch of old fritter pirates, and a navy with faith must be reorganized.

It doesn't matter what they believe in, and they don't necessarily have to find a god to worship, in short, they must see Ghost Island and the remnants of the sea as a thorn in their side, and have the faith and courage to fight them to the end - the black-haired knight feels that believing in "justice" is good.

In this process, if the ghost fleet and the remnants of the sea make trouble first, he can immediately unite with the other three to block a wave. If you win, you will be done directly, and if you fail, you will take advantage of the chaos and become a "leading party" to lead the imperial fleet into the interior to suppress.

Rossvia has always had a headache with the disobedient ghosts and sea demons in the Uncharted Sea, if he can take this opportunity to cleanse it at one time, and control the heart of the Atlantic Ocean by the way, the Cabinet and the Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces will be very happy.

After the matter is over, Yalei can also be used as a guarantee to pull the remnants of the pirates into the Imperial camp, so it will not be in vain.

If things go smoothly and the uncharted region completes the economic self-cycle, then the pirates will have no reason to rob, and even directly transform themselves into "nobles" of the sea country.

In this way, there would be no reason for the two to clash, and Yalei would be able to smoothly pull them into the camp of the Empire. All in all, he advanced and retreated freely in this game of chess, and there was only the difference between a small win and a big win.

......

After taking over Charlotte's sphere of influence, the Blackbeard Pirates now also have a fleet that is not weak, and the pirates on the fleet are not bad, but they are too slippery, not that Yalei wants a navy.

He can only use stupid methods to recruit a group of hot-blooded young people with heavy salaries, and then create an atmosphere of fear, telling them that the living space of human beings in the uncharted sea is deteriorating, and a group of sober people are needed to fight evil.

What is evil, the monster that threatens the survival of mankind is evil! The ghosts and the remnants of the sea are obviously evil! And the sea devils are allies that can be won over, because they do not need land, live in water, and the contradiction with humans is a secondary contradiction.

The opposite of evil is, of course, justice, and those who fight against evil are of course righteous teachers - you are all righteous warriors!

This propaganda was not limited to words, and the black-haired knights slowly reformed their minds by distributing pamphlets on the concept of justice for the navy, uniforms with righteous characters tattooed on the back, and building a naval academy.

With the salaries in place, the process of transformation is relatively smooth.

In addition to training the Righteous Navy, Yalei is using Charlotte's "legacy" to carry out economic reforms in his sphere of influence.

To say that it is a reform, in fact, it is to transform a large number of unwanted dim sum factories into other factories, the factories are ready-made, there is no shortage of workers, and a small part of the equipment is common. As long as you get the equipment and funds to support the operation, and then hire or grab a group of technicians from the outside world, you can concoct a batch of factories with low technical content.

Most of these factories are basic industries such as food processing, wood processing, and garment processing, and it is not difficult to grit your teeth and engage them as long as you are determined.

Because he has been hooked up with Squidward Brother Babur, his business with the New World has also resumed as before, and through Squidward's descendants, he has expanded his business to the uncharted sea. Of course, Yalei will definitely not come forward, he just needs to hide behind the scenes and count the money slowly.

Everything was going on in an orderly manner, and when the chimneys of the factories spewed smoke again, the black-haired knight finally practiced the dark evil energy to the peak, and forcibly raised the energy level of his body to six thousand five.

In this way, he has cultivated all kinds of fighting spirit, and has become the first person in the past.

That night, Yalei advertised that he wanted to delve into the pinnacle of dark evil powers, and for a while he closed his doors, but in fact, with the help of Babur, he left the uncharted sea overnight.

He will complete the last soul shaping ritual and impact the realm of soul materialization.

......

Highland Kingdom, Hall of Soulsculp.

Pillars of dark light pierced the black-haired knight's eyebrows from the dome, and the vast power of the dark evil energy was slowly fading, filling the void of the last part of his soul.

“......”

Yalei's eyes were slightly closed, and he felt as if his whole body was wrapped in a warm ocean, as if bathed in the warm sunlight, and as if he was soaking in the hot spring water.

Buzz!

It was like throwing a stone into a wave of water, and the ripples spread out layer by layer, and the black-haired knight's soul body detached on its own, bathed in a dark pillar of light.

I saw that inside his soul, which seemed to be composed of a clean and clear spring, wisps of golden electric light were everywhere, and a large amount of golden electric light slowly converged in the depths of his soul, becoming more and more condensed, and soon 'crackling' wrapped the entire soul.

Ahh

A sharp pain came from inside the soul, and he suddenly opened his eyes from the pitch-black pillar of light and looked at his soul body—a golden arc flashed through the clear and transparent soul, and a little crack slowly emerged.

At the same time, countless pictures followed, memories of childhood, memories in sleep, inadvertent feelings, sudden and ungrasped inspirations...... Little by little, with lightning poured into his consciousness.

Aree began to feel dizzy, and as his soul body solidified and gradually turned from virtual to real, he found himself more and more sleepy, as if he were going to sleep forever in the endless darkness. (To be continued.) )
