Thinking about it this way, supporting Vivi and building a massive hero organization...
It seems this has truly become a serendipitous stroke of genius!
In the future, using Vivi's proposed Hero Academy as their base, they can expand their sphere of influence outward.
They'll also need to construct a formidable prison to detain criminals.
After all, Luffy and his crew can't guard this place forever.
But this presents a new set of challenges.
Luffy and his crew, who will be traveling the seas, will need to periodically return to the prison to execute the imprisoned criminals.
Moreover...
The villains who can satisfy Luffy's standards must be top-tier experts.
Ordinary prisons and guards would never be able to contain them.
If only they could build a prison like the Great Undersea Prison...
Ideally, this prison should also be able to move freely across the ocean, like Thriller Bark.
That way, Luffy and his crew wouldn't be restricted in their freedom...
Hmm...
Wait a minute!?!
A shadow suddenly flashed through Luffy's mind!
A colossal shadow!
Deep sea, prison, confinement, free movement...
Didn't they already have such a being?
Laboon, currently in the waters off the Arabasta Kingdom, wasn't he exactly that kind of existence?!
Laboon's miraculous little world.
As long as Laboon himself refused, absolutely no one could escape from it.
Moreover, within this little world, Laboon could wield his miraculous powers to manipulate the environment and even materialize objects.
Building a Great Undersea Prison would be no difficult task for him.
Even after Luffy and his crew entered the New World, Laboon's current overwhelming strength provided he avoided provoking Seven Warlords-level pirates would allow him to roam the Grand Line freely.
After all, there were only a handful of individuals in the world who could rival the Seven Warlords in power.
By this calculation, the "Hero Academy" plan seemed almost perfect!
The only drawback was that it might take a long time to see results.
According to Vivi, the academy would likely recruit mostly ordinary people.
In the world of pirates, even ordinary people could possess exceptional talent.
Take Gild Tesoro, the king of Gran Tesoro, the world's largest entertainment city in the New World.
He had once been just an ordinary performer and singer.
But after enduring crushing despair, he became completely corrupted and transformed into one of the few in the pirate world capable of awakening the power of a Devil Fruit.
Remember, those who awaken their Devil Fruit power possess strength at least on par with the vice-captains of the Four Emperors!
Therefore, among ordinary people without connections or a burning ambition for power, there must be countless hidden talents waiting to be discovered.
Perhaps this Hero Academy could truly cultivate a few world-shaking figures.
Anything was possible...
At that moment, Luffy made his decision!
He would fully support Vivi in establishing this Hero Academy with its unique purpose.
However, some details still needed refinement.
But he trusted that the exceptionally intelligent Vivi had already considered these matters.
***
A few minutes had passed since Luffy suddenly interrupted Vivi.
Standing beside the throne, Vivi nervously watched Luffy, fearing he would reject her plan.
Thankfully, Luffy didn't keep her in suspense for long.
He suddenly looked up, his eyes instantly becoming deep and bright, as if they contained the entire starry sky.
This was Luffy's serious expression.
"Your plan..."
Luffy's sudden words made Vivi's heart tremble again.
But his next sentence brought a satisfied smile back to her face:
"I've decided to mobilize all our forces to support it wholeheartedly!"
"Really?! Luffy-sama?!"
Vivi never imagined Luffy would take her plan so seriously.
After all, she knew he generally favored the law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak.
Even the other members of the Starry Sky Crew looked at Luffy with surprise, curious about his change in attitude.
"However..."
Luffy didn't elaborate, simply speaking again.
Vivi's attention instantly shifted from joy to focused anticipation, her eyes fixed intently on him.
"Your plan sounds simple enough in theory. But I imagine the execution will be fraught with challenges, right?"
"Yes," Vivi replied immediately, nodding.
"If we proceed, I want to start from scratch, establish a solid plan, and take it one step at a time.
Our current plan includes: site selection, recruitment, developing an intelligence network, student evaluation criteria, training programs, mission briefings...
There are undoubtedly many unforeseen issues we haven't considered yet.
But I believe that as long as we establish a solid foundation...
We can adapt to any situation and improvise perfect responses as needed."
At Luffy's prompting, Vivi laid out her development plan in a single breath.
It had to be said, a princess was indeed a princess.
Not only did her vision surpass that of ordinary people, but even the plan itself sounded flawless.
After considering Vivi's points, Luffy issued a direct order:
"Excellent! I believe this decision is highly feasible."
"In that case, there's no need to wait any longer.
Starting tomorrow, execute the plan!"
The headstrong Luffy immediately commanded Vivi:
"First, for the location...
Let's build a new city within the Arabasta Kingdom's territory.
We'll call it Hero City!"
The Arabasta Kingdom's territory is vast, nearly six or seven times larger than other countries on the Grand Line.
There's no shortage of undeveloped wilderness!
But...
"But Luffy-sama..."
Vivi interjected immediately after Luffy announced his first point, her voice filled with concern.
"The Arabasta Kingdom is still in crisis. While you easily resolved the rebellion, the lack of water resources, food shortages, and other factors have left our people too weak to form a sufficient workforce.
Given the current situation, it doesn't seem feasible to rush into this plan so quickly..."
"Don't worry about it," Luffy replied with a dismissive wave. "We'll take care of everything for you."
"We'll stay here a few extra days.
Robin, could you help Vivi handle these issues while we're here?"
The equally astute Robin immediately smiled and replied, "Alright, Luffy. I'll use my abilities to build this city as quickly as possible."
With her current stamina, creating a thousand or two clones would only leave Robin slightly fatigued. But these powerful clones, when put to work on construction projects, could achieve an efficiency that was no joke.
However...
How could Luffy bear to have the perceptive and sensual Robin doing such rough, tiring work?
"No, you don't need to participate in the construction. Just help Vivi with the trivial matters. Don't forget, we have an entire nation backing us!"
The Goa, dormant for far too long, was finally ready to make its presence felt in the outside world.
