Chapter 76: Unexpected invitations and
When Barr was in the form of ordinary people from the form of wind and snow again, he had already returned to his base camp. As soon as he came back, all the subordinates in the base camp ran out happily to welcome his return.
Seeing this, some pedestrians nearby rushed to tell each other, telling the news that Barr returned to District B.
Soon, a large number of civilians came to the base camp, and their faces showed surprise expressions on their faces, and they saluted Barr with respect and said, "Mr. Barr."
After more than two months of strict rule on the territory, Area B has completely become the safest place in the slums and the economy is the best. Even though the number of merchant ships visiting the terminal has dropped sharply, it still maintains prosperity.
This is all due to the fact that the order of District B is good enough, and Barr and his strong subordinates maintain order, which is very safe. This makes many insecure people in the city willing to move here to live, making the entrances here continue to increase, greatly promoting the development of the local construction industry, the real estate industry and various service industries.
In addition, Williams' Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce optimized and transformed various industries in Area B, which greatly improved the service level of various industries here, enhanced competitiveness, and made consumers in the city like to come here to consume.
In addition, the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce established many factories in Area B, such as clothing factories that require a large number of workers, and a huge honeycomb coal manufacturing plant, which made the employment rate in Area B very high and greatly promoted the local economic development. It even built several orphanages in the name of Barr.
Finally, Barr's protection fee is relatively low, which makes many businesses in the city very willing to open stores in this safe and economical place.
In short, Area B is now well-managed by Barr, and everything is developing in a good direction, allowing people living here to see the hope of living and working in peace and contentment.
However, people living here know that the reason why Area B became so good now is entirely because of the appearance of Barr.
He ruled this area with absolute force, shocking all the ghosts and monsters in the territory, and at the same time he did not do anything wrong with the people in the territory and carried out a relatively relaxed rule.
Therefore, Barr has a very high reputation in his territory and can be said to be deeply loved by ordinary people.
Now the news that Barr has become a natural devil fruit abilities circulating in Area B, and the people living here are undoubtedly very happy with this news.
Because they all think that Barr is a ruler and will take the initiative to protect the safety of their lives and property, and is very close to the people. The stronger he is, the safer they are, and of course they are happy.
In this chaotic era, it is definitely a very lucky thing to be protected by a strong man who follows the rules.
Barr is of course happy that he is so popular.
He actually didn't do much, he just issued a few rules, dispose of some garbage in the territory that did not abide by his rules, and then reduced the protection fee to be the boss.
Bafina usually handles all kinds of trivial matters on the territory. When Barr discovered that the young and beautiful female gunman had the potential to be a secretary, he handed over most of the trivial matters to her. In return, he would take some time every day to teach her to use various guns.
Although he became a hand-off manager and did not do much on the territory, Barr still knew the importance of his here.
Only with him is there, this place will be so orderly for the time being. Once he is gone, there will be no one who can conquer the place, the place will soon return to its original appearance.
"Famousness has been successfully won, and it will be much easier to whitewash it in the future."
Barr used his domineering attitude to feel that most of the people around him were grateful and respectful from the bottom of his heart, and nodded with satisfaction.
Then, he smiled kindly to the people, said a few nice words, and then used the ability of the snow snow fruit to create a beautiful snow sculpture and entered his base camp.
Be a gangster for life?
Of course, Barr could not do this. Joining the gang is only his first step. Once he successfully gains a foothold in the city, he will try to gain officially recognized dominance.
However, the official power of the Magnetic Drum Kingdom is so weak, but it is recognized by the world government after all, and is protected by the world government and navy behind it. Moreover, people living here also have a sense of identity with this country. Gangs and other gangs will not be on the table after all.
If Barr wants to make a difference in this country in the future and use the power of this country to do his own work, he must obtain official recognition of dominance, so whitewashing is necessary.
Therefore, in the past six months at the Port of Villa, except for the fighting between gangs, Barr has never killed any innocent civilians, and even took action to protect civilians, making his image among the people very positive.
In addition, after obtaining territory, he cracked down on crime, worked hard to maintain public order, vigorously developed the local economy, and got along friendly with the people from time to time. Now he has a high prestige in the Port of Villa. He does not look like a gangster at all, but rather a kind and righteous knight.
In addition, in order to make good friends with Gilbert, the true ruler of the Port of Villa, Barr also asked Williams to regularly give the other party some rare treasures he bought from other countries, and to evade taxes, and even pay an extra tax.
Gilbert had a very good impression of him because of this.
Good people's expectations, the appreciation of the ruler, and his own strong strength are all the capitals for him to whitewash his identity in the future.
And Barr knew that there was a good opportunity now. The news that he had obtained the snow fruit would definitely not be hidden from the city lord Gilbert. This ambitious man with the dream of becoming the ruler of the drum kingdom would never let go of any bargaining chips that could win the next war.
He is now a natural devil fruit abilities, and his abilities can still play a huge role in the Winter Island of the Magnetic Drum Kingdom. If he can assist Gilbert, Gilbert's chances of winning in the next war will definitely increase a lot.
In fact, just joining Gilbert's camp with his natural devil fruit ability may cause a significant blow to the opponent's morale.
......
Barr entered his base camp and returned to his office. Bafina, who was signing a lot of documents, suddenly looked at Barr with a bitter face, hoping that Barr could help him share some of his work.
As a large number of people poured into Area B, various personnel conflicts increased rapidly. There was no official force in the slums, and only the forces under Barr could intervene to deal with it. Therefore, there were usually a lot of nonsense to be sent to Barr for handling.
Barr had no time to deal with these things, so of course he threw them all to the good secretary, Barfina.
Barr turned a blind eye to Barfina's hint, just smiled at her, and then lay on the sofa to rest. He had been busy for a day today and was almost killed by Reggie just now. Even though he was physically strong, he was extremely exhausted.
But he couldn't rest after all. Not long after he sat down, Soma and Williams came with a smile on their faces, and Williams was holding an invitation in his hand.
"Don't say it for now, let me guess, this should be an invitation from Gilbert, right?"
Barr noticed the invitation in Williams's hand and said with a smile.
But what surprised Barr was that Soma and Williams actually shook their heads at the same time, saying that they had guessed wrong, which immediately made him feel deeply curious.
The next second, Williams smiled and said nothing, handing the exquisite invitation with a gilded surface in his hand to Barr.
Barr took it over and looked at it, as if he had discovered something very interesting, and immediately laughed out loud.
Seeing this, Soma and Williams laughed out loud, and the three of them showed excited expressions on their faces.
When Bafina in the room saw that the three of them were laughing, she didn't know why, and immediately walked to Barr's identity.
Barr did not regard Bafina, a hardworking and good subordinate, as an outsider, and let her see it openly.
