Capítulo 177: Chapter 177
"How about this place? Take a look, Chief."
On New Year's Day, everyone is usually busy shopping for New Year's goods or visiting neighbors to exchange New Year greetings.
But that's not entirely the case for everyone.
At this moment, Morgans doesn't want to take a break at all; he just wants to work.
Because Dak presented him with a new concept.
It's called the Universal News Agency.
The idea is to use Pokémon Island as a base and expand his previous work to various worlds, delivering newspapers to different realms so people can see the hottest news from other worlds.
This time, instead of using non-combatant news birds as couriers, various Flying-type Pokémon will be used. They are not only faster but also have some combat capabilities, making deliveries much safer.
There are also new ideas like express delivery and takeout, which astonished Morgans to the point where he almost bowed to Dak.
So, when Dak invited Morgans to develop on Pokémon Island, Morgans couldn't wait.
He wished he could show Dak his heart to prove his loyalty.
Now, Morgans is following Dak, selecting the location for his company headquarters.
In the western part of Alliance City, there is still a large vacant area that Dak plans to use as an 'office zone'.
Commercial organizations like Morgans' that frequently interact with the Alliance will be located in this area, making it more convenient for the Alliance to request reports from Morgans in the future.
"Yes, this area looks good."
Dak nodded.
"That's great! Thank you so much, Mr. Dak. I'll transfer a billion immediately to order a custom batch of Flying-type Pokémon eggs!"
Morgans was ecstatic.
He had longed to be a part of Pokémon Island, and now he was officially one of them.
Morgans was never one to lack money.
He had already planned to breed a large number of Flying-type Pokémon and start piloting new job content in Alliance City, Fishman City, and Angel City. If successful, he would promote it to the One Piece world.
His news agency had enough funds to hire a large number of employees to help breed Flying-type Pokémon.
However, Morgans still needed to return to the One Piece world to find a trustworthy subordinate to act as his agent there; otherwise, he would be overwhelmed eventually.
After seeing Morgans off, Dak immediately began using coins to build the office zone's skyscrapers.
Indeed, a city without these blocky office buildings would feel strange and uncomfortable.
Let's see which other merchants will choose to come to Pokémon Island and become capitalists after Morgans.
After Dak finished building the office zone, it only cost him 500,000 coins.
These office buildings were not expensive.
After completing these, Dak planned to take advantage of the current time, while everyone was playing indoors, to transform the natural environment outside.
First, the two forests at the entrance of Alliance City needed to be expanded.
Ideally, they should be expanded to the scale of Viridian Forest in the Pokémon world, large enough that it would eventually give birth to Celebi in a thousand or ten thousand years.
Viridian Forest is roughly fifteen times the size of Viridian City.
Alliance City is at least five times the size of Viridian City.
The total area of Alliance City, including its suburbs, is over 1,000 square kilometers, roughly equivalent to the size of Hong Kong in Dak's previous life, but slightly smaller.
The urban area might be around 150 square kilometers, with the remaining 90% being suburbs.
The suburbs are primarily used for livestock farming, Alliance breeding bases, and research institutes. In the future, some parts might be used to expand the urban area, but generally, it's unnecessary.
Because the nature of Alliance City ensures that, except during holidays, the city's population won't be too large most of the time.
This total area may not seem large, but Pokémon Island's final form is like that of the Pokémon world, not like in the past, so such a scale is already considered one of the largest cities on Pokémon Island.
Cities in the Pokémon world generally don't have suburbs. The so-called suburbs are more like small villages outside the city, so the cities are very small. A city like Viridian City, with over 200 square kilometers, is already considered a medium-to-large city.
According to Kuma's research and proposed funding cost, it would require about 3 million coins to transform 3 million square meters.
But how does that compare to Viridian Forest?
3 million square meters = 3 square kilometers.
In different units, 3 million square meters don't seem that impressive.
According to Dak's requirements, at least 3 billion magic coins would be needed to create a forest on the scale of Viridian Forest.
But that's impossible; it would take at least three or four worlds to earn that kind of money.
Or a world like Super God Academy with multiple planets and universes. Worlds like One Piece or Naruto can't make that much money.
So how to do it?
Move it!
Angel City and Fishman City also couldn't rely on Dak exchanging coins for their cities.
But isn't this what Giratina can be used for?
Moreover, if Dak were to expand this forest himself, it would just be a 'dead forest' with barely any other living beings.
However, moving forests from the One Piece world would bring a variety of species.
But the question is, which forests to move?
Forests like the Little Garden, filled with countless pathogens, are out of the question. Nami nearly died there from an infection.
Complex forests are also not considered.
It would require Dak to spend a lot of money to modify the unsuitable parts.
This is a long-term project, and Dak might need to send out teams to find suitable forests and move them.
On the other side, at the Pokémon Zoo.
"Hey, Sandile, is that guy your relative?"
As soon as Sentomaru spoke, the Sandile by his leg bit his calf, "Ouch! You idiot, we're on Pokémon Island now. It hurts!"
"Roar."
Sandile let go, suddenly remembering they were on Pokémon Island.
Without the power suppression, Sentomaru's physical strength was far inferior to what it was in the One Piece world.
But he couldn't blame the Sandile for being angry.
Sentomaru had pointed at a banana crocodile from Alabasta in the zoo, saying it was Sandile's relative. Of course, it would bite him.
"Don't be mad. We don't have many days off. Sigh."
Sentomaru sighed.
A few days ago, he received orders from above to return to the One Piece world to serve as a gym leader.
Honestly, even though it was a high-status, well-known position, Sentomaru didn't want it.
He had grown to love life on Pokémon Island.
He didn't have to do much, just stay at home, receive a salary from Vegapunk, and spend his days with his two partners, Hippowdon and Sandile.
"Ugh."
Talking about this almost made Sandile depressed too.
They say Pokémon follow their trainers. Since Sentomaru was lazy, how could Sandile be any different?
"Alright, enough about sad things. Let's go. Hippowdon has already gone to see his hippo brothers, also from Alabasta."
Seeing Hippowdon walking away, Sentomaru picked up Sandile and followed.
The future Alliance Zoo is meant to gather beasts from many worlds.
But to be honest, the current Alliance Zoo is already quite unique.
In the One Piece world, each island has its own ecosystem, cultivating different creatures.
For the people of Alliance City, many animals in the zoo are ones they've never encountered, especially those living in the deep sea, White Sea, and Sky Island.
Even without mentioning those.
Even the South Birds from Jaya Island are birds that others haven't seen.
However, today being New Year's, everyone was busy with ancestor worship and god worship, mostly going to the shrines, so not many people came to the zoo.
But soon, undoubtedly, in the next few days, many residents from Angel City and Fishman City will flock to the hunting grounds, Alliance Zoo, and Alliance Museum.
After all, Alliance City is usually not open to outsiders, and only these few days offer the chance to visit.
"Only two weeks left..."
After Sentomaru left with his Pokémon, Kizaru remained.
His nephew had really put him in a tough spot.
Originally, he was having a good time drinking coffee at the Sabaody Archipelago, but then he was notified to report to the Sabaody Gym as its new Gym Leader.
This wasn't just because of Sentomaru's suggestion; Kizaru was indeed suitable for the position.
Among the three Admirals, Akainu Sakazuki wasn't very popular, and no Pokémon was willing to become his partner. Kuzan, though he had his Ice-type Pokémon, was busy distributing Pokémon eggs to the lower-ranked Marines.
Only Kizaru, with two Electric-type Pokémon, had nothing much to do.
Even Sengoku and Garp recommended Kizaru to take the Gym Leader role. In short, everyone didn't want to see him idle.
"We're all so busy, and you're just here drinking coffee?"
That was probably their mindset.
So, Kizaru was pushed to the Sabaody Gym, becoming the Electric-type Gym Leader.
His two Pokémon are Manectric and Electabuzz.
Kizaru's love for Electric-type Pokémon might stem from his liking for their sparkling discharge, which he found very appealing and similar to himself.
After all, he is a Glint-Glint Fruit user, not a Light-Light Fruit user. He likes sparks, not light.

Time flows like water.
Compared to the rapidly changing situation a few months ago, the sea has now gradually stabilized.
Pirates have become prime targets for numerous adventure groups on the sea because capturing live pirates can be exchanged for money with the Pokémon Alliance. Nowadays, pirates are rarely seen on the sea.
Even the Whitebeard Pirates have transformed into the Whitebeard Adventure Group, and the Big Mom Pirates are now only known as the Charlotte Family.
A week ago, the World Government was found by the Revolutionary Army, and then Dak, along with five 'gods', launched an assault, making the World Government and Celestial Dragons a thing of the past.
Because of the peace now prevailing over the sea, Robin has taken a leave of absence to spend a month personally investigating the void century from 800 years ago.
According to Dak's recent statistics with Darkrai.
The One Piece world has a total of 1,067 islands and 378 countries. Currently, 100 countries have become 'member states' of the Pokémon Alliance, with breeding facilities and Pokémon Centers established within their territories.
Among them, special countries like 'Drum Island' and 'Alabasta' receive special attention from the Pokémon Alliance.
Drum Island provides a large number of medical personnel to the Pokémon Alliance, and Alabasta supplies rare species to the Alliance Zoo. Other countries also have their own strengths and, of course, deserve special attention.
Undoubtedly, this is now the era of Pokémon.
Pokémon and the Pokémon Alliance have connected the scattered islands of the One Piece world into a unified whole.
Trainer battles and coordination contests have become the mainstream competition style, but battles in the One Piece world are divided into two types.
One is wild battles, similar to the ancient Pokémon world, where trainers and Pokémon fight together.
The other is formal battles, where only Pokémon fight, and trainers use Observation Haki to assist and even command from the side.
So far, because most Pokémon don't have very high combat capabilities, the scale of these battles has been relatively small, with no significant casualties.
The powerful Pokémon are mostly part of the Pokémon Alliance or the navy.
The Pokémon Alliance, of course, needs no explanation. Being the origin of Pokémon and the sacred place for battles, the Pokémon are naturally stronger.
As for the navy, they gained an early advantage as the first major customers of the Pokémon Alliance, allowing them to enjoy these benefits.
Whitebeard's Adventure Group is not much slower than the navy.
However, they haven't demanded much training from their Pokémon, preferring a laissez-faire approach, so their Pokémon's growth rate can't compare to that of the navy.
The date is now February 28th, Year 1 of the Alliance Calendar.
It's the start of the Pokémon Academy and the registration day for students.
For most people in the One Piece world, they won't be involved and are therefore not interested.
But for those students and their parents, it's a different story.
On the Moby Dick.
"Here, Thatch, this is a meat reishi mushroom that's been with me for ten years. Use it when you're lonely at night."
"Thatch, bring more clothes. I don't think you know how to do laundry, so just throw them away when they get dirty."
"Ugh, I won't be able to eat Thatch's cooking anymore. I'm so jealous of you, Munchlax."
"Munch~"
A large group of people surrounded Thatch, each carrying a bunch of items.
They were helping Thatch prepare the things he needed to bring to school.
"I heard the Pokémon Academy is a stay-in school. It only allows students out on Sundays, and even then, only within Alliance City. You can only leave Pokémon Island during holidays, so we won't see each other for a while."
Marco, with an arm around Thatch, sighed.
"It's okay. It's not like we're dead. A semester is only five months; it's not that long."
Though Thatch said this, he was also a bit sad inside.
Transportation in the One Piece world is inconvenient, making it like ancient times in Dak's previous life, where friends who parted ways often didn't see each other for months or years.
Sometimes, one might unknowingly die somewhere, and the other wouldn't find out until years later.
"Thatch."
At this moment, Newgate spoke. As the father figure, he had to say something when his son was leaving.
"Dad."
"You're not young anymore. Don't get into conflicts at school. Also, if you can start a family, do so. Times are different now."
Newgate shook his head.
Now that the era of peace has begun, people no longer engage in senseless fights, and individual strength seems less important.
He once believed that since they were pirates, they shouldn't start families to avoid endangering innocent family members. So, he didn't encourage his sons to start families.
But now, things are different. He hopes his sons can find wives and have children.
This has been troubling Newgate recently, as he doesn't know any matchmakers to introduce potential partners to his sons.
He still hopes to hold his grandchild someday.
"Ha, how could I find a woman my age at the academy?"
Thatch wasn't interested in finding a partner.
With so many people at home not seeking partners, he didn't want to either.
About thirty minutes later.
Thatch arrived at the entrance of the Pokémon Academy, accompanied by a few family members.
At the school gate, Vice Principal Olvia was welcoming the students.
"Welcome, everyone. I'm Olvia, the vice principal of Pokémon Academy and the teacher responsible for teaching Pokémon attributes."
Olvia had already reviewed the information of the 200 students, so she knew Thatch was among them.
"Hello, teacher. Please take good care of our Thatch. This small gift is a token of our appreciation."
As one of the few polite members of the Whitebeard Pirates, Vista naturally took the lead in such situations, "It's not something valuable, but please accept it."
He handed two gift bags to Olvia.
One contained peaches unique to Newgate's hometown, and the other held some aged fruit wine.
Members of the Pokémon Alliance typically don't lack valuable items, so it's the thought that counts in such situations.
"Then I won't be polite."
Olvia didn't want to waste time, so she accepted the gifts without hesitation.
"Olvia-sensei!!!"
Just as Olvia accepted the gifts, a lively blonde girl came running over.
The girl's name was Kujaku, the granddaughter of Marine Chief Staff Officer Tsuru. She was still underage and a reserve member of the Marine Pokémon Special Forces.
Beside Kujaku was her partner, Doduo.
"Kujaku."
Olvia smiled and greeted Peacock.
Since the navy is now a subordinate force of the Pokémon Alliance, Kujaku, as a navy family member, has settled in Alliance City and often visits Olvia, almost becoming Olvia's private student.
Olvia had taught Kujaku a lot about Pokémon.
Kujaku was also one of the new students at Pokémon Academy, aiming to become the top student in her class and graduate successfully.
"Wow, so many pirates!"
Kujaku only noticed the large group of Whitebeard Pirates accompanying Thatch when she got closer.
Thatch had a lot of luggage, so he needed help carrying it.
"Kujaku, don't speak rudely. They are an adventure group now."
Marine Chief Staff Officer Tsuru, walking behind, glanced at the pirates and casually scolded her granddaughter.
The navy is now hunting down pirate groups.
But not every pirate group is considered a 'pirate group'. The former pirate groups were judged by the World Government's standards, but now the Pokémon Alliance has its own standards.
For example, the Whitebeard Adventure Group is now just an adventure group, not a pirate group, and the people protected by them in the New World islands have suggested not hunting them down.
On the other hand, groups like the Donquixote Family and the Thriller Bark Pirates are undoubtedly pirates in the eyes of the Pokémon Alliance and are to be hunted by the navy.
Currently, Vegapunk is researching a new project called 'Seraphim' to replace the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and the navy knows about it, requiring the bloodlines of the former Warlords.
Groups like the Kuja Pirates have a more complex nature.
Pirate Empress Boa Hancock has been a Warlord for over two years but has only targeted male pirate groups, which doesn't justify labeling them as a pirate group.
Moreover, Hancock is the queen of Amazon Lily, and the Kuja Pirates are essentially its royal guard.
Such groups are left alone unless they cause trouble.
"Some students have already arrived. Come with me, and I'll show you around the academy and introduce you to your classmates and roommates."
"Family members of the students, please return home. The Pokémon Academy prohibits non-staff members from entering during regular times."
Seeing the tension between the navy and the former pirate group, Olvia quickly stepped in to defuse it.
She then led the two students into the campus.
"Teacher, I don't want to be in the same class as this uncle."
"Tch, as if I want to be in the same class as you, kid."
On the first day of school, Thatch and Kujaku already formed a bond, making Olvia, the teacher, a bit exasperated.
"Class assignments are random, so I can't guarantee whether you'll be in the same class."
