CHAPTER 183: CHAPTER 183: KARL’S NEW BOUNTY, THE SHOCKING GOLDEN NATION

An 800 million Berry bounty.

In this era where the Berry was gradually becoming less valuable, even in the New World, the second half of the Grand Line, it was second only to the bounty of a first mate of an emperor.

But this bounty was too low for Hancock.

As the ruler of a powerful Haki nation, a user of all three types of Haki, and a user of the Paramecia Love-Love Fruit, Hancock’s strength was in the first tier of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, not inferior to any of the first mates of the Four Emperors’ pirate crews.

With such strength, even when fighting against a Marine Admiral or a pirate emperor, she could hold her own for a short period of time.

If Charlotte Linlin was the strongest woman among pirates.

Then Hancock was definitely the second strongest woman among all pirates.

Never mind 800 million Berries; even 1 billion Berries would be too low.

It was just that...

Due to Hancock’s legendary status, which was no less than that of the Mermaid Princess, it had been almost eleven years since her first bounty of 80 million Berries.

In these eleven years, Hancock had not fought in front of the world.

If it weren’t for the fact that the Marines had a very deep impression of the long-standing island of Amazon Lily, and knew that every generation of the Kuja Empress was a super-powerhouse who had mastered all three types of Haki and ruled over a fighting race proficient in Haki, the Marines would not have raised Hancock’s bounty to 800 million Berries for her second bounty.

Besides Hancock’s soaring bounty, Karl’s bounty had also soared once again because he now controlled the Kuja fighting race, and his threat level had soared again.

[Dragon Knight Karl, Bounty: 3,511,000,000 Berries, Dead or Alive.]

As the one who had defeated two Emperors of the Sea and was known as the youngest Emperor of the Sea in history, Karl’s strength was actually far more than 3 billion Berries.

If it weren’t for the fact that he had never established a pirate crew, had not expanded his crew limitlessly, and had only occupied Gran Tesoro, being an ordinary underworld king in that ten-thousand-meter-long small place.

Just by defeating Kaido and Charlotte Linlin, his bounty could have reached the 4 billion Berry level.

Now, Karl had officially announced to the outside world that Gran Tesoro had changed from a city of gold to a golden nation.

His crew was no longer ten people and one dragon, but eleven people and one dragon, and a fighting race proficient in Haki.

His threat level had more than doubled or tripled.

The current Karl, on this great sea, was the fifth Emperor of the Sea in name and in truth, in both strength and power.

With such a threat level, never mind another 500 million Berries; even if his bounty were raised to the 4 billion Berry level, the world would not be surprised.

If the Blackbeard of the original story had not only expanded his crew in two years but had also defeated one of the Four Emperors, his bounty would not have been only 2,247,600,000 Berries.

The bonus of defeating a Four Emperor was a major achievement.

At the same time, this was also the reason why Karl had opened a live broadcast to challenge the Four Emperors.

As long as he defeated the other four highest peaks of the world in front of the whole world, he would be the namer of the new era, the unquestionable World’s Strongest Man of the new era.

But the alliance of Kaido and Charlotte Linlin had temporarily put this plan on hold.

Compared to realizing one of his remaining dreams, Karl felt that cultivating a powerful army of ability users was the most important task this year.

And so...

After announcing to the outside world that the city of gold would be renamed the Golden Nation, Karl abolished the name "Amazon Lily."

He named the new island the Golden Island.

On the island, there was a country named the Golden Nation.

The country was divided into two major areas: on the left was the world’s largest entertainment city, Gran Tesoro; on the right was Amazon Lily, which forbade men from entering and could only be visited by female guests.

That’s right. As the original independent countries, both Gran Tesoro and the Amazon Lily Kingdom had their "kingdom" suffix removed and became the two major cities of the Golden Nation.

After Diamante and Pica had transported gold to the Golden Island from all over the world, Karl’s group immediately began the construction plan for the Golden Island.

First, they turned the island into a giant island ship.

Nami, riding the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, first flew to other uninhabited islands in the first half of the Grand Line, broke off one-third of a certain uninhabited island, mixed it with gold, and created a huge, circular ship wall.

Then she flew to the Sabaody Archipelago at the end of Paradise, and once again stole a part of the mangrove land from each of the 79 islands, even breaking off a giant mangrove tree with a number carved on it, and brought it back to the Golden Island.

Then, in the Gran Tesoro and Amazon Lily areas respectively, they created a Sabaody Archipelago-style amusement park for the guests of the city of gold and the women of the Kuja tribe to play in.

Of course...

The main purpose of doing this was to allow Shirahoshi to fly freely on this island.

Because the city of gold had become the Golden Nation, the island turtle that could originally pull a ten-thousand-meter-long city of gold was obviously unable to pull an island.

So, Karl and the little dragon accompanied Nami to the New World and captured two more island turtles.

With the little dragon’s draconic might, the intelligent island turtles quickly submitted to the mythical creature.

After solving the problems of the ship wall, bubble flight, and island movement, Karl’s group finally began to renovate Amazon Lily.

Compared to the city of gold on the left, Amazon Lily, which had not changed in hundreds of years while staying in the Calm Belt, was obviously an incomparably backward small place in the eyes of Karl’s group, who were used to a luxurious life.

This point, even the Kuja Pirates who had visited the city of gold one after another, agreed completely.

So, Karl’s group decided to rebuild Amazon Lily.

They tore down the old buildings and rebuilt a small town in the same style.

But the materials were all the world’s highest-grade materials, and the style was a new ancient style that the world’s top designer team had come up with after spending half a month visiting the original city of Amazon Lily.

In addition, next to the ancient-style small town, Karl’s group had built a modern, golden small town similar to the city of gold.

The ground of both towns was paved with gold, and the streetlights, sculptures, and other things were all made of gold.

In both major cities, there were golden statues of the little dragon everywhere.

Even the flag of the Golden Nation was the little dragon’s symbol.

It took a full two months for Karl’s group to complete the renovation of the Golden Nation.

For this, Nami and Nojiko had almost no rest, and their proficiency with their fruit abilities had improved by leaps and bounds in these two months.

In Karl’s treasury, the nearly 600 billion Berries in cash that he had accumulated over three years had been spent by a full 300 billion in just two short months.

But the twelve-digit expenditure was obviously worth it.

Two months later, when Karl’s group allowed female guests to enter Amazon Lily.

The female guests who traveled to the city on the right by turtle car all returned with satisfied expressions, holding Amazon Lily’s specialties in bubble-wrapped packages.

Some female guests who had come alone, or in groups, even checked out of their rooms in the Golden Hotel that day and moved to live in the hotels on the right side, in Amazon Lily.

Unlike the city of gold on this side, which was made entirely of gold.

The other side, Amazon Lily, although also paved with golden land, still retained its forests, mountains, and waters, and even had a snowy land stolen from a permanent-weather island, as well as the mangrove land stolen from the Sabaody Archipelago...

After being worked on by the world’s top designer and architect teams, as well as Nami and Nojiko, that side not only had the luxury of gold, but also the beauty of nature, and a prosperous city with all kinds of things, run entirely by women.

For women, that place was undoubtedly more relaxing and more attractive.

There, you could go shopping, go skiing, go to an amusement park for women, and do things that only women could do, without the interference of men.

From then on, the Golden Nation would be a must-visit resort for all men and women.

The left side would earn men’s money, and the right side would earn women’s money.

It was believed that the economy of the Golden Nation would take off at an extremely fast speed in the next few years.

Karl, who knew the effect of advertising, specially contacted Morgans.

He allowed that birdman to enter the women-only Amazon Lily, take pictures of the various areas, and post them on the front page of the World Economic Journal, specifically to advertise for Amazon Lily and attract the attention of more women.

The birth of the Golden Nation undoubtedly shocked the entire world.

Although only a layer of gold was paved, in the eyes of outsiders, this island was a true golden nation made of gold.

Like the legendary City of Gold, it was so dreamlike.

On this day, countless men and women’s longing for the Golden Nation had reached its peak.

Whether it was commoners, pirates, nobles, rich merchants, or even the World Nobles, the Celestial Dragons, who had a grudge against Karl, they all wanted to go and play in this golden nation that was about to become a legend.

By the way...

For the new image of Amazon Lily, Karl had abolished the rule that, except for the Kuja warriors, no one could carry a python with them.

At the same time, they could not dress revealingly and had to change into suits that matched the style of the world’s largest entertainment city, or cheongsams full of ancient charm.

Not only that, but the Kuja residents who ran the shops had to attend training classes every day for world-class etiquette training.

After all, if they wanted to earn the money of those rich women, they had to make them feel satisfied and feel that this place and its service attitude were worthy of their nobility, and make them willing to spend their money.

The two Boa sisters, on the other hand, took the Kuja warriors to a secret base that even women could not enter, to instill in them new ideas, or more accurately, to brainwash them.

Then, from among these warriors, they selected the most loyal and trustworthy warriors (death warriors). Karl would check their aptitude and give them the Devil Fruit that best suited them, to become the Golden Nation’s—Golden Blade.

In the future, they would live for Karl and Hancock, and would only be loyal to Karl and Hancock.

Loyalty to the empress meant being loyal only to Karl, and even being willing to dedicate everything, including their lives.

In other words, Karl had completely taken control of the entire Kuja tribe.
