Chapter 227

It only took one week or to be precise, the first three days of advertisement to make the City in the Sky a sensation all over the world.

Over the month, countless businessmen, holding boxes full of money, rushed to the City in the Sky from all over the world, wanting to meet the youngest pirate emperor in history while hoping to be able to buy a store or land in the City in the Sky.

Among them, there are also the giants from the underworld, who also want to reach a cooperation with El.

Umit, the shipping magnate, in particular, wanted to use the method of profiteering to reach a long-term cooperation with El by asking for his contact information from Doflamingo.

As one of the emperors of the Underworld, Umit, the shipping magnate’s main business is naturally transportation.

Whether it is materials or arms, legal or prohibited. As long as you have enough money, no matter where the place is, Umit, the shipping magnate will help you transport anything and no one dared to attack the transport fleet of Umit.

However, it is very expensive to ask Umit to help transport things, and Gran Tesoro, Umit’s fleet doesn’t leave the New World at all.

Although Umit’s fleet can use Fishman Island to travel between the new world and paradise, however, the deep-sea route is too dangerous.

In the transport fleet of Umit, each ship will be full of supplies and if a ship sinks to the bottom of the sea, not to mention the compensation and the time wasted, their reputation will be damaged.

The transport fleet of Umit, never use the deep sea route nor the Calm Belt to travel between the new world and paradise.

There are also a large number of ships being inspected by the Mary Geoise before going to the other seas because it is not sure that the materials being transported each time are legal.

Therefore, every time Umit wants to let the prohibited items pass the inspection, he needs to pay an astronomical amount of protection fees to Mary Geoise every year. Now, Umit has a second option.

Although the City in the Sky only travels around the four seas and the first and second half of the grand line every six months, as long as he masters the route of the City in the Sky, there are many places that he can operate.

At that time, he can develop a two lines cooperation with Mary Geoise and the City in the Sky at the same time.

Just like Morgans, all of the underworld emperors want to get a connection with the Pirate Emperor, however, among the so many underworld emperors, only Doflamingo has a relationship with the Pirate Emperor, and even Gild Tesoro has also hooked up with the Celestial Dragon because of the astronomical amount of Heavenly Tribute he paid every year.

Now even Morgans is also involved with El, the youngest Emperor of the sea in history, because of advertising for the City in the Sky.

Now the port City has given Umit an opportunity to form a connection with El, how could he miss this opportunity.

Doflamingo, who was aware of Umit’s thoughts, did not sell El’s Den Mushi Mushi information to Umit, but he asked El’s opinion first.

After obtaining El’s permission, Doflamingo handed El’s Den Mushi Mushi information to Umit in exchange for discounted benefits for transporting steel and other materials.

Umit, who got El’s Den Mushi Mushi information, immediately made a call to El after paying some interest to get in touch with El.

El did not refuse Umit’s favor, because he doesn’t refuse the black market entering the City of the Sky and he is also sending a signal to the outside world that he is willing to develop his personal connections.

Just like what he said to the Five Elders, El has no interest in the so-called four Road Poneglyphs and the final island.

Although the manga of One Piece was not finished before he travel here, El was very clear that the story of this world is actually about the love-hate relationship between the ‘D’ family and the Celestial Dragon.

El is not a member of the ‘D’ family and he has no interest in being a dragon slayer to save this sick world and then rule it himself.

He just wants to be the ultimate hedonist, that’s it.

So, in order to make the City in the Sky more beautiful, El still needs to rely on external forces.

Just like how the City in the Sky was able to be completed within a year, It’s all thanks to Doflamingo’s using his connection to help him find what he needs.

He only needs to release a little goodwill to can get so many benefits, so El will naturally not refuse.

Not everyone is like Umit who can easily get El’s contact information and favor.

Aside from the underworld emperors, El has no interest in meeting other businessmen, so he just sent Violet and Monet, as well as Carina, Nami, and Robin, who took the initiative to take over the task, to deal with them.

In particular, Carina and Robin, who are the left and right brains of El, are the two deputy city lords appointed by El.

With the cooperation of the five women, the empty stores in the Bubble city and port city began to be rented out at an extremely fast speed.

Yes… rented.

The City in the Sky is El’s own thing, although his devil fruit can expand the island at any time, he is still reluctant to easily sell the land of the City in the Sky.

If someone wants to buy a store or land on City in the Sky, they must meet the conditions of renting for three years.

These three years were enough for El to fire up the value of this land and stores to a truly astronomical figure.

Those who want to permanently rent a store in the City in the Sky also need to rent a house in the City in the Sky for three years before they are also eligible to buy a house.

Even so, countless rich people from the New World flocked to it.

Even living in the Totto Kingdom requires you to hand over your soul to Charlotte Linlin on a regular basis, so what is the cost of renting a house?

What’s more, as long as they live in the City of the Sky, not only do they not have to worry about being attacked by pirates, but they don’t even need to worry that one day in the future, the Lord of the Sky will use meteor and then the tsunami that will indirectly kill them.

From the underworld emperors and black market bigwigs, down to the rich and commoners, tens of thousands have flocked to the city in the sky.
