"Extra! Extra! The Sacred Road is put into operation!"
"The sacred road to the Utopian Empire is opened, and it will be safer to travel to the New World from the Great Line."
"One more route will be added to the three routes from the Grand Line to the New World. You only need to pay a certain toll to reach the New World safely."
"The Red Earth Continent is run through by a utopian empire. This is an unimaginable project."
"The Sacred Road is put into operation and the Utopian Empire performs miracles."
Three days later, countless news reports spread to the sea, and many TV stations were reporting on it.
From this moment on, there is a safer and more convenient sacred road for the Grand Line to travel to the New World besides Fish-Man Island, crossing the Red Earth Continent, and passing through the Windless Zone.
There is no doubt that this sacred road is beneficial to the country and the people. With this road completely connecting the new world with the great sea route, it will highly stimulate the world's economy.
The convenience not only involves pirates, but also countless kingdoms and merchant ships, and even ordinary residents.
Neptune on Fish-Man Island let out a loud sigh.
Because of this road, many pirates will not go to the New World through Fish-Man Island, so the order and security of Fish-Man Island will be greatly improved.
"It is indeed a utopian empire! It has actually built a new route from the Grand Line to the New World."
"It will be more convenient to do business in the future."
"Quickly increase orders. Our kingdom must also modernize. This is the trend of the times."
"The world may change because of Utopia."
"A new era has begun."
The whole world is talking about it, and the last press conference of Utopia Empire is still a hot topic. Now the most reported thing is about Utopia Empire.
On the first day the Sacred Road was opened, the toll alone was as high as tens of billions of beli, and there were countless merchant ships and pirate ships coming and going.
Moreover, the sea train has also successfully connected to the Chambord Islands, and various sea tracks to the Capital of the Seven Waters are also being rapidly constructed.
Foxy just paid a casual attention to all this, and Scarlet and Sweetheart were still managing the specific government affairs.
Utopia Back Mountain Training Ground.
Ares was wearing training clothes and wearing seastone bracelets on both hands and feet. He was sweating profusely and doing basic movements with difficulty.
"Dad, I don't even have the strength to wear the Hailou Stone."
After doing a few push-ups, Ares lay on the ground panting heavily.
"I just want you to adapt to this situation, not only to adapt but also to break through."
Foxy stood aside with a serious face, "Your Devil Fruit is very strong, but physical skills are the foundation of everything. You must overcome the weakness of Sea Tower Stone."
"Perhaps the power user will lose his strength as soon as he touches the sea tower stone, and he will not be able to use his abilities."
Ares sat up and couldn't understand that Foxy had been asked to practice wearing a sea tower stone bracelet since the day before yesterday.
Ares still knows the common sense that esper's weaknesses are the sea and the Sea Tower Stone.
"Who said that?"
Foxy rolled up his sleeves to reveal two bracelets bigger than Ares.
Ares was a little dazed.
"Dad, you..."
"The Sea Tower Stone is indeed the nemesis of ability users, but this nemesis can also make you progress. At least it can effectively restore your strength through training. It just prevents you from using devil fruit abilities.
As long as you have strength and physical skills, you can become a strong person even without using devil fruits. Just know that your father will not harm you.
From now on, unless you are developing Devil Fruit or fighting, you cannot take off the Sea Tower Stone Bracelet. You will need to add the Gravity Bracelet after you initially adapt.
If you accumulate it over time now, you will be able to go further in the future.”
"ah..."
Ares almost cried.
"Son, if you sweat more now, you will bleed less in the future. Sooner or later, the Utopian Empire will be yours, so your responsibility is very heavy. Your mother, baby mother, and sister all need your protection."
"Don't worry, Dad, I will definitely persist."
Ares's dark eyes were full of determination, and he also wanted to surpass Foxy.
This has always been his goal, but he never told anyone else.
"As expected of my son, practice for another hour and then take a break."
"knew."
At dusk, the Foxy family of five gathered together for dinner in the pavilion in the back garden.
"The Holy Road is already operational."
Scarlet took a bite of food to Ares and Elise.
"Big Mom, don't talk about work while eating."
Elise is such a brat that she actually taught Scarlet a lesson.
"Elise is right, Big Mom made a mistake again."
Scarlet was stunned for a moment, then smiled and stopped talking.
When a family of five eats, they have made a rule long ago that they cannot talk about work issues.
The meal should be delicious, so as to be warm and cozy.
And this rule was set by Elise, which shocked Foxy and others at first.
The most important thing is that Elise hates Sweetie and Scarlet, and always quarrels with Foxy no matter what happens, as if she cherishes the time spent together as a family.
"I can't stop your mouth after eating."
Sweetheart slightly glared at Elise, but the latter ignored her.
"Ares, if there is a seated statue, you will be paralyzed on the dining table."
Elise sets her sights on Ares.
"Call me brother."
Sweetheart patted Elise on the head this time.
"Elise, starting from tomorrow you must also wear a Hailou stone bracelet, and at the same time shorten your daily work and rest time by two hours to practice."
Foxy ate slowly.
"What?"
Some broken shouts came out of Elise's mouth.
"Sit down for me."
Tianxin's face was serious, and she felt heartbroken when she saw Elise standing up without any princess-like appearance.
Elise sat down with an angry face, staring at Foxy.
"Don't look at me like I'm the enemy who killed your father. You heard me right."
Foxy poured a glass of white wine with a calm expression.
"You and Ares are nine years old. I have been very strict with Ares since I was a child, but you have been very lenient. Don't think that I am patriarchal. In my eyes, you and Ares are the same. It's just that
You are a girl, so you will be loved more.
I know you have a lot of ideas, but seven or eight years is enough for you to adapt. Next, you must practice according to my requirements.
There is no room for negotiation, I mean it."
Foxy stared at Elise seriously.
"I am very strong now."
Elise has no confidence.
"Haqi, in what way are you better than your brother in Six Styles?"
"I still have devil fruit."
"Do you believe that Ares can kill you instantly with one move and won't even give you a chance to touch him?"
Next to him, Ares was lying weakly on the dining table, struggling to eat.
Scarlet and Sweetheart said nothing.
"I know."
Elise pursed her lips and muttered in her heart.
"Starting from tomorrow, you have to practice for a few hours every time Ares practices. You also have to take the sea tower stone with him. You left too many things behind."
"You don't follow common sense. Shouldn't you be poor and raise your children rich?"
Elise was indignant.
Foxy narrowed his eyes and looked at Elise.
I don’t know why Elise didn’t dare to look at her, but Foxy stared at her and lowered her head.
"The son who is poor and the daughter who is rich is raised, what kind of talk is this? Where did you learn these weird words?"
Sweetheart frowned, Elise would say something difficult for them to understand from time to time since she was a child.
"That's it."
Foxy changed the subject.
And Elise stopped talking, even though her face was full of reluctance...
