**********
In the case of a transportation monopoly, the profits from trade would be astonishingly large.
The Grand Line was isolated by the Calm Belt.
If anyone wanted to enter the Grand Line, other than risking their life on Reverse Mountain, only special passages could lift ships up and lower them down.
The weather in the Grand Line was weird and changeable.
There were so many islands with only one season per year.
The trade gap caused by different weather patterns made the prices of goods on two islands vastly different. However, the prices of goods on islands with consistently peaceful weather were basically the same.
So this was a business opportunity.
But obviously, the special nature of the Grand Line had made the World Government block this road.
At this time, Remo took a step back. "You're getting bolder and bolder, Kano!"
Kano shook his head slightly.
"What if I can ensure that you master Haki? In the end, this world requires power in order to have enough of a voice. This time, I went to Loguetown and met the person who was rumored to be a monster genius in the elite class at Headquarters six years ago. Now he has the rank of Vice Admiral, Remo. This speed of improvement is too fast."
After those words fell, Remo frowned and said nothing.
The monster from the elite class at Navy Headquarters six years ago was Kuzan. Today, six years later, he and two other monsters had become the new admiral candidates.
Admiral. The highest combat power of the Navy.
Kano wasn't in a hurry.
He smiled and patted Remo on the shoulder, then left for the bow of the ship.
The mastery and improvement of Haki depended on mental will, but its use required strong physical fitness.
Remo's physical fitness had already reached the standard, and the reason why he'd been unable to master it was that his heart wasn't strong enough.
Working as a supervisor of the special passage had made him feel somewhat complacent.
But the more this happened, the less likely he was to reach the Headquarters.
The death of the Pirate King Roger gradually revealed its impact on the entire world.
In the West Blue alone, the number of pirates who stormed Ridgemouth Town and entered the Grand Line was more than four times greater than before.
The Navy branches in the West Blue became busy, and Kano's branch also continued to provide support everywhere.
Countless people were arrested just after they went to sea and raised their pirate flag.
Dragon had also made a big batch of kunai.
After Kano used the [Flying Thunder God Technique] to drop the spatial coordinates, these kunai were placed in many locations around the world.
Also, after this day, in addition to Kano, a masked man who called himself AL appeared in the poor countries of the Grand Line and the four seas.
Six months later.
South Blue, Kingdom of Sorbet, Southern Town Church.
"Let's get married, Kuma."
"Huh? No, no."
"Why, you stubborn man! You obviously love me so much, don't you? I'll make you happy."
"I know..."
There was a trace of longing in Kuma's eyes, but the picture in his memory soon woke him up.
So he picked up the newspaper and prepared to change the subject.
At this time, a voice sounded.
"Yo, look what terrible news I just heard. Ginny, are you proposing to Kuma?"
This sound made Kuma and Ginny freeze on the spot, and then they saw a figure walking in from outside the church.
Kuma laughed, and was about to put his hand on Kano's head to rub it, but he was dodged.
"I'm not a kid anymore, Uncle Kuma." Saying that, Kano scratched his chin.
"A hug is fine…"
"Haha,"
After a hug, Kano continued, "If it's such a coincidence, wouldn't it be possible for me to attend your wedding?"
Kuma said with some embarrassment, "Don't do this, Kano. I..."
Ginny, on the side, saw this and changed the topic.
"You stupid kid, so you can call me so casually now? I'm four years older than Kuma, shouldn't you also call me Aunty Ginny?"
Kano shook his head firmly.
"Kuma saved me at that time, but you just came along to eat and drink."
"Ah! brat! I haven't seen you for more than two years. It seems you've forgotten about me…"
Ginny attacked with a kick, but Kano easily dodged it.
He turned around and extended his foot, causing her to fall into Kuma's arms.
Kano stretched out his index finger and shook it.
"As I said, I'm no longer a child. Ginny, a big devil like you, can no longer defeat me! Hahaha!"
These words made Ginny in Kuma's arms furious.
She turned around and pointed at Kano.
"Kano! I bought milk powder for you from the scraps we got when you were a kid, and now you dare to bully me like this… Kuma, beat him up with me."
Kuma, who had been watching the two bicker and fight, had no choice but to intervene.
This had been a normal habit since Kano was six years old.
Although Kano had been helping out since he was five years old, this didn't prevent the two from fighting each other every day.
"Yeehaw! It seems that you're living a good life now. Is it so lively every day?"
Loud laughter came, and Ivankov and Dragon also arrived at the church at this time.
After Kuma and Ginny looked over, they were surprised for a moment.
"Iva-chan?!"
"Iva, who is the person next to you?!"
Ginny was surprised by the appearance of Ivankov, and Kuma, who had been paying attention to the actions of the starter Freedom Fighters, was even more surprised by the appearance of Dragon.
At this time, Kano no longer had the low profile he'd maintained when he was in Ridgemouth Town.
He walked up to Dragon triumphantly and said, "This is the big shot I brought back this time, the commander-in-chief of the Revolutionary Army, Monkey D. Dragon. Kuma, the Freedom Fighters you've been paying attention to before, was the predecessor of the current Revolutionary Army."
Dragon nodded, then walked to Kuma and extended his hand.
"The Freedom Fighters officially became the Revolutionary Army a while ago, and I've been looking for like-minded partners. Both Ivankov and Kano recommended you to me. We..."
Kuma hurriedly extended his hand and shook Dragon's hand.
"I've always wanted to help others, but my strength is still very weak."
Ivankov hurriedly said, "The power of the Paw-Paw Fruit isn't weak, Kuma. Don't underestimate yourself. We all want to change the world. Let's do it together. Yeehaw!"
A very simple invitation, with no fancy words.
But Kuma, who had always known about the Freedom Fighters, directly extended his hand and shook hands with Dragon.
At this time, Ginny, on the side, bumped Kano with her arm.
"You brat, tell me the truth. Is he trustworthy??"
Although the sound was very small, Dragon obviously heard it.
So he quickly said to Ginny, "I'm very sorry for my rudeness just now. Before I came here, I heard from Ivankov that you have a deep understanding of Den-Den Mushi communication, and you're also very powerful in combat."
"The Revolutionary Army needs all like-minded partners. I can't change the world on my own. I need all the help I can get."
