Chapter 261: The Sinful Pleasure District, "MADS", and the Eternal Kingdom's Plan

"Four point five billion Beli!"

The exceptionally graceful Queen of the Pleasure District said a price with a smile.

The World Government had intervened.

 Others had no doubt whether the Queen of the Pleasure District could produce this much money.

As a famous Pleasure District in the New World, Pirates, wealthy individuals, Officials, and Nobles contributed immeasurable revenue every year.

The Pleasure Quarter was also a major economic pillar for the World Government, and it had been expanding over the past year, establishing Pleasure Quarters on more Islands.

To weaken the influence of Member Nations, the Pleasure Quarter became one of the main industries supported by the World Government.

However, the Pleasure Quarter couldn't last much longer.

A portion of the Pleasure Quarter's annual profit went to the Pleasure District Girls, another portion was kept by the Pleasure Quarter for its own development, and yet another portion had to be handed over to the Local Force.

Otherwise, why would these Factions be willing to let the Pleasure Quarter establish itself in their Territory?

Thus, the Beli that reached the World Government's hands was actually not much.

Coupled with the World Government's losses over these years, they took a large amount of profit from the Pleasure Quarter.

 To be precise, the Pleasure Quarter's development was actually affected.

However, the World Government used various means to collect a large number of cheap women from all over the World, compensating for this.

The chaos of the Great Sea led to countless families being broken apart.

The Slave Trade, instead, grew even stronger.

The World Government's influence reached everywhere.

On one hand, they hoped the Marines would stabilize the Great Sea, while on the other hand, they caused the Great Sea to fall into further chaos.

This situation was truly somewhat absurd.

However, the World Government could not openly send people to the Pleasure Quarter; it was done entirely under the guise of Slave Traders.

Then the Pleasure Quarter would spend money to purchase them under the guise of "rescuing these women," essentially changing hands directly.

Among them, other Factions also made purchases.

Compared to the Pleasure Quarter, which still needed to spend time cultivating them, the revenue brought by directly selling people was undoubtedly greater.

In the past, the World Government was often hidden in the shadows, influencing the Slave Trade.

But now, the World Government has personally entered the arena, even becoming the largest Slave Catcher.

Although it was still those Slave Catchers controlled by the World Government on the surface, with such a large operation and so many Slaves, how could it be concealed?

A Slave Ship disguised as a Merchant Ship passed through Red Port, while the World Government Guard guarding Red Port turned a blind eye.

Influences from multiple sides created the current structure.

However, the Pleasure Quarter ultimately couldn't amount to much.

 In this domain, there were quite a few competitors.

In the Pluto Sea Area, there was a new Faction named "Witch's Feast," distributed like a spiderweb in the form of large entertainment venues on some Node Islands in the Pluto Sea Area where the number of Pirates was relatively high.

The Pleasure Quarter ultimately only had one Base Camp.

 Its many Branches outside actually couldn't spare the energy to take care of them.

It also had to give a large portion of its interests to others.

 Its true role was actually just an Information Node.

It wasn't all that impressive.

Hades absolutely would not allow a Faction like the Pleasure Quarter to exist within his Territory.

 If it did, it would also be under the control of the Kronos Kingdom.

The situation of the Great Sea had already proven that wanting to spread a Faction throughout the entire New World was absolutely wishful thinking.

Even if the Pleasure Quarter signed agreements with all Factions, giving up a large amount of interests, manpower was a problem.

 Without enough strength to guard it, just the conflicts between Pirates would be enough to make the Pleasure Quarter have no profit to speak of.

Hades' eyes narrowed slightly, wondering if he should suppress the Pleasure Quarter.

 As an important source of intelligence for the World Government in the New World, her role was indeed not small.

At least, the current "Queen of the Pleasure District" was not yet qualified to be called a Dark King, and the Pleasure Quarter's Faction was not that large either.

Wait until he met that woman before deciding.

He knew that woman.

 She was intelligent, cunning, could act well, and was beautiful, and was deeply liked by Whitebeard.

Although there was no love, the two maintained a close relationship for many years.

How could such a woman become that foolish, ugly appearance in the future?

This was a real world.

 One could only say that Oda simply didn't understand Pirates.

In the Battle of God Valley, she did not participate.

 From the World Government and the Marines, there was also no information about her.

From that time, she disappeared.

The current her should have joined the "MADS" Peace Institute.

 It should be known that she was originally a young Scientist.

"MADS" was the charitable industry of the future "Usury King," Du Feld, who was now one of the persons in charge of the Ouroboros Group.

Founded with his funding, it gathered many Scientists with great futures, including Vegapunk.

And behind the scenes, this so-called Peace Institute was actually the Eternal Kingdom, which controlled the Ouroboros Group, secretly promoting it.

The purpose was to utilize the talent and creativity of these Scientists to promote the Kingdom's technological development.

The Peace Institute's research projects were all different, with no restrictions.

 This could maximize the creativity of these young Scientists.

And the Eternal Kingdom secretly obtained the fruits of these Scientists' intellectual achievements.

To be honest, Hades only realized after learning that Du Feld funded the establishment of "MADS" that the true mastermind behind the scenes was the Eternal Kingdom.

It should be known that it was under the leadership of Vegapunk that this research team discovered the "Lineage Factor."

Behind this, it's hard to say there wasn't the secret promotion of the Eternal Kingdom, guiding this group of Genius Scientists onto the path of researching the "Lineage Factor."

Just this step alone made him unable to help but sigh at the strength of the Eternal Kingdom.

 Truly an extraordinary idea.

On the surface, Du Feld was a world-famous young Merchant and a great philanthropist.

The Peace Institute also had considerable fame throughout the world.

 Vegapunk received the Ibel Peace Prize for inventing a flower called "GPFlower" that could bloom in gunpowder.

At least for now, this institute was not an Illegal Research Team.

Although the Lineage Factor had not been researched yet, the World Government must have already targeted "MADS," paying attention to every move of "MADS."

The Eternal Kingdom was targeting "MADS," the World Government was targeting "MADS," the Kronos Kingdom had also targeted "MADS," and secretly, perhaps the Landis Kingdom and the Hilton Kingdom were also involved.

After "MADS" became famous in the world, it was bound to be targeted by others.

If they thought this was just a platform with sufficient funds, allowing them to research freely, then they were greatly mistaken.

The Faction funding the Peace Institute was not just Du Feld.

 Subsequently, the Kronos Kingdom also arranged for people to invest to show support for their research.

Soon, the four billion Beli of the Queen of the Pleasure District was suppressed by the voices of others.

Soon, it quickly reached five billion Beli.

You could hardly imagine how crazy those Elders would be.

The final price stopped at five point six billion Beli and was bought by the "Godfather" of the West Blue.

He was finished, many people thought this in their hearts.

He bought one painting and one Blood Ginseng, adding up to a value of ten billion.

 This Elder had successfully held a death warrant in his hand.

Some Factions were already preparing to act.

 The Gang Forces of the West Blue were very large, affecting all aspects of the West Blue.

But if you really wanted to say they were powerful? They actually weren't.

Perhaps knowing that he had already become a target for others, the person who won these two precious treasures at the Auction immediately went through the Auction's Secret Passage to the Dark Bank Stronghold next door.

He stored the items in the Dark Bank.

This was also to protect the auction items of the many Bidders.

Just the insurance fee for this Blood Ginseng reached an astonishing two hundred twenty-four million Beli, equivalent to one twenty-fifth of the auction price.

With the items in the Dark Bank, they were sufficiently safe.

However, the Dark Bank had not opened its transfer business.

So he had to rush back to the West Blue before he could take the items out.

This was also sending a signal to the Factions who had targeted him: if they had the ability, they should act, but no one would get anything.

Killing him and getting the certificate but without the password would mean that these two treasures could not be taken out and would entirely belong to the Dark Bank.

This was an Open Scheme.

 They even had to find a way to protect him on the way back, and after that, it would be up to each side's methods.
