82 Chapter 82: The End of the First Octagon Gathering!

The picture of the department is finally shown along with a picture of the chart of the top brass of the department.

"Rubbish?"

Everyone was immediately shocked and confused when they found out that the next department to be introduced was the department related to waste.

"As you have seen, our last department is the Garbage Department."

"Trash Department?" Doflamingo frowned, "How will this department benefit so many people?"

"Hey, Ben, what do you think?" Shanks asked confusedly.

Ben Beckman thought for a moment and continued, "I don't know either. Just you wait, we will soon find out what King Fortis said earlier."

"The Garbage Department is a department built by our kingdom to manage the garbage in our kingdom. This department has several sub-sections consisting of metal parts, wood parts, glass parts, plastic parts, E-Wasted parts or electronic equipment, water parts, paper parts, clothing parts and organic parts? Ars paused for a moment and continued, "I'm sure you guys must be wondering what I meant earlier, right?"

Everyone nodded with interest.

"In the Waste Department there are sections that manage waste for metal, glass, plastic, electronic equipment, paper, and also clothing. In this piece of trash, you can use it. Currently this department itself is not running. However, it didn't take long for this department to start operations. Later when this department starts operating, our kingdom will buy your trash."

"Buy?"

"Buying trash?"

"Wait, you mean…" Doflamingo was surprised when he found out the meaning of Ars' earlier words.

Not only him but several geniuses also immediately knew what Ars meant.

"Some people must already know what it means" Ars said calmly, "Yes. As you guys think. Later when this department has been running. We'll buy every piece of trash you have. However, the waste is only waste in the categories of metal waste, glass waste, plastic waste, electronic equipment waste, paper waste, and also clothing waste. Regarding the purchase price itself, it is likely that we will take tons for the purchase. So, happy are the kingdoms who have a large amount of garbage in their kingdom especially the garbage that is mentioned in the classification. Because we will buy it if you want to sell it to our kingdom"

This information then made a person silent even the Gorosei were also silent hearing this.

"This… Is this serious?" One of the spectators asked with a face full of surprise.

"If that's the case… Wouldn't there be a profession for garbage collectors?" muttered Elizabello II with a face full of surprise.

"I see" Tsuru nodded and continued, "What a magnificent kingdom it is"

"Do you know the purpose of King Fortis, Tsuru?" Sengoku immediately asked while looking at Tsuru.

"Yes" Tsuru nodded, "If we consider the technology currently owned by the Fortis Kingdom. Their kingdom must have a tool that can recycle trash. Recycling means that waste is processed into something new. They will buy waste in large quantities at low prices. Then the waste is reprocessed into a product and then the product is resold. As a result, they benefit greatly from the process." Tsuru paused and continued, "Besides, by making an announcement like this. The Kingdom of Fortis did not need to make deliveries. However, it is the other party who will later deliver the garbage. That said, the Fortis Kingdom just sits quietly managing waste and can earn while they let others do the collecting work."

"This…"

Everyone fell silent hearing this.

"Well, isn't that a very good thing?" Garp said calmly, "After all, with them. Many kingdoms that have problems with trash will soon disappear. Apart from that, there is also an advantage for them because they can make money from the waste."

Garp's hometown is on the Island of Dawn which is where the Kingdom of Goa was built. The Kingdom of Goa itself is known as the Cleanest Kingdom in the World. However, that's only on the inside. On the outside where the place is called Gray Terminal has a lot of garbage there. The garbage there has even formed a small mountain and also caused disease outbreaks.

"What a terrifying kingdom" Shanks muttered, "The ability to get things…"

"Hey, Boss" Yasoop suddenly called out, "How about we run this department too? Many of our jurisdictions currently have problems in the waste section. If we collect this trash then it is sold to the Fortis Kingdom. We can get a lot of profit that can be used to party"

"Dahahahah~ That's a really good idea, Yasoop"

Even though Shanks was an Ocean Emperor. Shanks never cared about his face even if people called him a loser. Shanks wouldn't mind it.

"I think we really have to do that" Ben Beckman said calmly, "Even though we currently have quite a bit of finances due to the protection fees we've earned. However, the cost of this protection is not enough if we use it for a full year. We need another way to make things happen." Ben Backman paused and continued, "This way to make money through selling junk is the best way out for us right now. We just need to ask the citizens who live under the protection of our power to collect the trash and then we sell it to the Fortis Kingdom side. We don't need to make a lot of moves and just have to ask our troops to do it."

It wasn't just the Akagami pirate group that thought about this. But Whitebeard's pirate group, Beast's pirate group, and Big Mom's pirate group have also thought of a plan to sell their trash to the Fortis Kingdom. Apart from them, there are also kings from various kingdoms, especially those who have problems in the waste field, are immediately excited to hear this.

They would use this opportunity to make a lot of money and also if they could, they hoped, they could benefit from establishing cooperation with the Fortis Kingdom.

"Fufufu~ Buying trash? His Majesty is truly a very interesting king." Robin who was currently watching chuckled softly and continued to watch leisurely along with the rest of the Fortis Kingdom.

"Regarding this Department. The Garbage Department is led by a man named Loid Forger. Then the metal part will be handled by a man named Midorima Shintarou, the wood part will be handled by a man named Tatsumi, the glass part will be handled by a woman named Satsuki Momoi, the exact part will be handled by a man named Izumi Miyamura, the electrical equipment part will be handled by a man named Satou Kazuma, the water part will be handled by a woman named Tier Hanibel…"

When they arrived at the water section, the swordsmen who were watching were immediately excited because what appeared at this time was a woman carrying a sword.

"A female swordsman" Gion muttered excitedly.

"A female swordsman… What is her strength level?" Mihawk asked with his eyes showing a look of interest.

Mihawk currently occupies the 6th position as a swordsman in this world. Even though Mihawk had yet to fight the higher-ups of the Fortis Kingdom who became a swordsman. However, he had claimed himself to be number 6. Not only him but everyone watching now had already established Mihawk as number 6.

"... The paper section will be handled by a woman named Shimizu Kiyoko, the clothing section will be handled by a woman named Chiaki Matsushita, and finally the organic section or leaf litter will be handled by a man named Kohei Katsuragi. The people I mentioned earlier are the higher-ups from our kingdom who are in the trash department"

Ars paused for a moment and continued, "Regarding Tier Hanibel. As you can see in the photo. He is a swordsman. However, his strength was weaker than that of an Ocean Emperor. However, his strength could be said to be on par with the right hand of an Ocean Emperor. However, even if it wasn't to the strength of an Ocean Emperor. The power of the Tier itself is approaching."

Gion's interest immediately peaked hearing this while Mihawk's interest immediately waned. Mihawk was only attracted to someone with a power level equivalent to an Ocean Emperor or higher than that.

Ars then started operating his computer and immediately pulled back a piece of equipment that was used to display each of his departments. The projectors, projector screens and computers that were used before were finally pulled back. The room returned to its previous state.

Ars' gaze then stared at the three leaders, "Those are the departments formed by me. They are the departments that help me in running this kingdom and developing this kingdom. Even though I have high intelligence, without the help of my friends, I will not be able to develop the empire that I want." Ars paused and continued, "If you want to follow the division of my department, please. You can follow it and implement it in your kingdom. It will also help to lighten your workload. However, if you want to build a government structure like the one built by me, you have to choose the right and trusted people. So that the department is not damaged or does not run well"

"We understand." The three of them nodded simultaneously.

"Now then, King of Prodance. Are there any other questions you'd like to ask? Or you want to ask for a suggestion. Please"

"I still own it" Elizabello II nodded, "Regarding the territory we own. As King Fortis knows, that with the area expansion currently happening in the Prodance Kingdom, we've also obtained an area of vacant land that can be exploited. I have plans to use the region. However, until now there is still no good plan for the development of the area."

"I see" Ars nodded, "That's the area that was previously used as a battlefield, isn't it?"

Elizabeth II nodded.

"Well, the area itself is a very good area because it's right in the middle of the place used to build settlements. My suggestion is that you better use the area to build animal farms and also agriculture. You divide the area into two parts. One is special for livestock, the other is special for agriculture. Currently you have quite a lot of money earned from the sale of wood and also there is still a lot of money that you get from the results of the previous war. Use the money as capital to build the place. With you unlock a farm and farm. You will also open job vacancies to the public." Ars paused for a moment and continued, "Even though right now our kingdom can produce quite a lot of rice and stuff. However, with only our kingdom will not be able to meet the needs and demands. In addition, with you unlock a farm and a farm. If at one time there is a dry season or an event that causes the production of a food ingredient to decrease or the price of food ingredients to increase. You can already produce your own products and you don't have to be afraid about these kinds of problems."

Ars paused for a moment and continued, "Also, if you want to make a policy in your kingdom as well as pay the entrance fee to your kingdom. You have to have a product that people are looking for so that you can attract them to come even if your empire pays. Although your kingdom will eventually charge anyone to enter, as long as you have something they are looking for, of course they will be happy to come even if they have to pay. Instead they had to go to a kingdom that didn't have to pay but had nothing there. Also, you set the selling price of your products at a low price especially to sell them to the citizens of your kingdom. That way, you can prosper the citizens of your kingdom. If you want, you can copy the prices of the goods from our kingdom. We have adjusted the price. Even though the price is low. However, our kingdom can still earn quite a bit of profit through these sales. This also causes many people to want to buy products from your kingdom."

Ars stopped back, "However, remember. If there are many people who want to buy things from your kingdom. Reserve or save supplies that are specific to the citizens of your kingdom. Do not just because of the many requests and benefits that you forget about the citizens of your kingdom. That is wrong. If you can, you can store supplies of basic necessities needed by the citizens of your kingdom as much as needed for 6-8 months. Because if there are problems with the harvest, the next time there will be problems. At least you still have enough food ingredients to meet the needs of your royal citizens."

"This is a very good idea" Dagama nodded, "We can implement this idea once we return"

"Yes" Iru nodded, "I think His Majesty also agrees with this idea"

Elizabello II was very excited to hear this. He didn't expect to get such a great suggestion. Elizabello II quickly replied, "I will"

Ars then looked at Elizabello II and Hancock, "Your kingdom should also have a product that you produce yourself"

Ars' gaze stared at Hancock, "Even though later your kingdom will open a shopping center. However, it is better for your kingdom to make a product of your own such as livestock and agriculture. It will also help your kingdom if at some point there will be a period like I explained before."

"I will." Hancock replied calmly.

The lady who heard Hancock's answer was relieved and also very happy.

Ars gaze then looked at Neptune, "That goes for you too. Even though the Ryugu Kingdom was located underwater. However, there are areas that you can use to build farms and also farms. Also, if you want to make products of your own empire. I suggest you guys make a piece of jewelry"

"Jewellery?" Neptune asked with great interest.

"Jewelry itself is a very beautiful object that is usually used by women. Jewelry is an object made of a precious metal such as gold, diamonds, and so on. This also causes the price of jewelry to be very high. The ocean itself is an area that has abundant natural resources, especially in terms of precious metals. In the sea there is a lot of gold, diamonds, and also various other gems. If you sell the metals before processing them, the market price of the metals is only the current market price. However, it is different if you sell it when you have processed it. As was the beef earlier I said. There will be a very striking price difference between unprocessed and processed beef. Same with gems. Before the gem was processed, the gem only had its cost. For example, gold, the cost of gold itself for 1 kilogram is only around 9 million berries. Well, if this 1 kilogram of gold is processed into a beautiful ring, glass, or necklace. The 1 kilogram gold will increase its market price, maybe 20 to 50 million berries. It depends on the quality of the processed gems."

Everyone is quite surprised to hear this especially Neptune.

"I told you before, didn't I? Your kingdom is an empire with the most terrifying potential among all the kingdoms in this world. It's just that your kingdom doesn't know how to take advantage of that potential." Ars paused for a moment and continued, "Well, now you know the potential. I hope you can take advantage of that potential to increase the prosperity of the citizens of your kingdom."

"I see." Neptune nodded seriously.

"Alright" Ars looked at the three leaders, "Is there anything else you want to discuss?" Ars looked at the clock on the wall, "It's almost 12 o'clock now. It's time for lunch. If there is no further discussion, we can close this meeting and we go straight to the banquet hall in the royal palace. There have been prepared various dishes that we can eat to prepare this"

Elizabello II, Hancock, and Neptune who heard this were instantly excited. They thought for a moment then shook their heads.

"My part is done. There is nothing more to discuss" Elizabello II said calmly

"Same with me. That's enough for me." Hancock replied again.

"Me, too. I have nothing left to discuss anymore" Neptune said.

"Really?" Ars raised his brow, "Don't just because of your food finish this meeting"

The faces of Elizabello II and the others were instantly embarrassed.

"Really? Is the food prepared by the Fortis Kingdom really that good?" Garp asked with a face full of disbelief especially seeing the faces of Elizabello II and others at this time very embarrassed to say such a thing.

"Arara~ I want more and more to try the dishes made in that kingdom" Aokiji muttered with interest.

"Well, I guess it doesn't exist anymore. Well, then. Let's close this Octagon's first meeting" Ars said as he tapped his microphone three times and at the same time.

With that beat made by Ars, the First Meeting of the Octagon is finally over!

The screen showing the meeting instantly darkened. Everyone sighed and slowly began to digest the information they had just gotten. After finishing digesting the information. Everyone started doing their own thing.

"Fufufu~ It's time to make preparations" Doflamingo muttered as he flew away from the Prodance Kingdom.

Mihawk has also sailed back to do a search for the sword that Ars asked him to look for.

The current Ocean Emperors have also started to move back to look for the swords. The Navy is currently discussing something. While there are many citizens currently preparing themselves for the recruitment of the Fortis Kingdom later.
