Humans, giants, murlocs, etc., all of them were fleshy and full of hostility, and they looked like complete villains. Murlocs, who were sold at sky-high prices in the black market, could be seen everywhere on this island, but no one dared to take advantage of them. The reason was simple, because most of the law enforcement team on this island was composed of murlocs.
The owner of the Knowles Industrial Weapons Company has a close relationship with the Fish-Man Island. The fish-men work for the Knowles Industrial Weapons Company and exchange their hard work for the right to live on the island.
Whether it is a factory, dock, or law enforcement team, they are all extremely hard jobs, but even so, it cannot stop the fish people's desire to go to land. Every day, there are fish people coming to the Arms Island with their families, and they are assigned to various industries where there are huge gaps.
The huge number of mermen unexpectedly boosted the island's tourism industry, and many people came here to see what the mermen looked like.
As the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and the Arms Island is no exception. Just like this dock, it has been occupied by a group of fierce fishmen for a long time, and they are the only ones who have the power to load and unload goods here.
At this time, a large ship flying the flag of the Big Mom Pirates slowly approached the shore, and the passing ships saw this and gave way. Several fishmen surrounded it, wanting to see if there was any business coming. However, when they saw the man on the bow, they were startled and scattered like birds and beasts.
The owner of the Arms Island is back! The Big Mom pirate ship slowly approached the shore, and several pirates under Big Mom's command respectfully escorted Duke off the ship. After a few simple farewells, they sailed away.
According to statistics, the battle between Duke and Kaido destroyed a total of 17 islands of various sizes, and most of them were within the sphere of influence of the BIG MOM Pirates.

The newspaper also included a photo showing Duke and Kaido, both covered in wounds, sitting opposite each other at a tea party, grabbing the food on the table and eating and drinking. Big Mom held up the cake in her hand with a bright smile on her face.
"Excuse me, ladies. I wonder if I may have the honor of joining you for your afternoon tea time," Duke said as he approached, looking down at Robin.
In charge of the largest arms company in the New World, she can even decide the succession of political power in a country. The aura of a superior honed over time makes this iceberg queen look particularly strong and can arouse the desire to conquer... probably.
"I was wondering who it was, it turned out to be the Captain! What, after playing outside, did you finally remember that you have a home?" Robin's tone was very cold, and anyone could hear the dissatisfaction in it. "Could it be that you are angry with me because you left it there for a while?" Duke laughed dryly.
Duke took the newspaper and was stunned. He saw that it said...
"Captain..." Perona looked delighted. She quickly pulled out a chair for Duke to sit down, then stared at him with particularly admiring eyes.
After stepping onto the land of the Arms Island, Duke stretched comfortably and walked towards the center of the island under the awed gaze of the fishmen. No one dared to approach him, even though they knew that if they won Duke's favor, they would be able to rise to prominence in no time. However, they knew their own limitations. The guest of honor of King Neptune of Fishman Island was not someone that small minions like them could approach. Big men could only make friends with big men, and they were not qualified.
As for Perona, Duke simply ignored her. The girl was obsessed with pink twin ponytails, wearing a dark Gothic-style pleated dress and always carrying a red parasol with her. Her cute look was not within Duke's aesthetic range.
"Captain, you think too highly of yourself. No matter who is missing from this world, it will still turn around."
"Don't say that. The New World is very dangerous. It's safer for you to stay at home. This is a gift for you. Captain, I spent a lot of effort to get it. I will definitely make you satisfied." Duke took out the rubbing from his arms, but unfortunately Robin didn't even look at him and was flipping through the book.
In the center of the island, apart from the factories located in all directions, the rows of buildings here are the address of the Knowles Industrial Weapons Company. A flagpole is erected in the square in front of the building. The flag is black, with two long swords crossed behind a white skull, and petals dotted on the edge. This flag is the logo of the Knowles Industrial Weapons Company.
She was wearing a slim-fitting black suit with a white lining, which was simple and capable. She casually unbuttoned two buttons on her collar, and she was as unfathomable as ever. Unlike those glamorous people outside, Robin didn't like jewelry. She had long black hair and a pair of sunglasses at most. However, with her beauty, she really didn't need jewelry to add icing on the cake, not to mention that she was a beautiful woman with temperament.
Robin raised his head and stared at Duke for a while, then sighed, "I've never heard of a captain abandoning his crew and going out to sea alone!"
In the New World, the "Navy Traitor" Duke and the "Beast" Kaido met. The two fought for three days and three nights, but there was no winner. Finally, another of the Four Emperors, Charlotte Linlin, arrived in person and stopped the fight between the two.
As he spoke, Robin picked up a newspaper on the table and handed it to Duke, and continued: "I know the enemy this time is very dangerous, but... please take me with you next time."
"It was reported so quickly... Was it Morgans's work? But when did he take the photo and where did he hide the camera?" Duke thought, stroking his chin. No wonder the way everyone on the island looked at him changed. Before, it was at most awe, but now it has directly upgraded to fear.
Knowles Industrial Weapons Company started from the Arms Island, and its sales network covers most of the New World. The number of employees is very exaggerated, and the miscellaneous departments are countless. Duke didn't have the energy to take care of these trivial matters, and threw them all to Robin. Facts have proved that the young lady does have the potential to be a strong woman, and she manages the huge company in an orderly manner.
Without disturbing anyone, Duke went straight to the president's office, pushed the door open, and found... it was empty. The young lady he was expecting was not there.
"Thanks to the captain, the company's customers are more honest than before, and many overdue balances have been paid very promptly." Robin rolled his eyes to show his dissatisfaction.
In the photo, the three people seemed to be talking about something, but unfortunately the newspaper did not explain it, causing everyone who saw the report to imagine something.
"If meeting Kaido was an accident and not part of my plan, believe it or not... never mind, it's useless to say this. I haven't read the newspaper these days. Didn't the navy say anything? Could they raise my bounty or something?"
After the war, Big Mom invited Duke and Kaido to Cake Island and hosted a banquet for them.
"Don't you think this is a rubbing of the historical text?" Duke shook the rubbing in his hand.
"So, are you still thinking about returning to Moria?" Robin put down his tea and flipped through the ancient book in his hand without raising his head.
Duke went up to the rooftop garden with his Observation Haki, where Robin and Perona were drinking afternoon tea under a parasol. Smart managers never do everything themselves. They only need to select qualified subordinates, delegate some power appropriately, and sign their names on important documents.
“Although I wake up every morning, lying on a soft big bed, enjoying baked fruit sandwiches and steaming drinks, and there are cute furry toys at my fingertips! But…” Perona floated in the air and complained to Robin: “There is neither a dark and damp riverside castle, nor ghosts haunting and singing curse songs. What a boring life!!!”
"Uh... that doesn't seem likely. The captain will kill me, and Master Moria has already forgotten me." Perona knelt down dejectedly. Two negative ghosts appeared behind her, patting her shoulders, as if to comfort her.
As early as when Duke entered the New World and founded the Norse Industries Weapons Company, the Navy raised his bounty to 1.2 billion. He estimated that after the draw with Kaido, it would at least increase to 1.5 billion. Although 1.5 billion is much less than the Four Emperors, who can blame him for not having enough power and only having one arms company under his command!
"No, the Navy has not taken any action on this!"
"No action?" Duke asked in confusion. "Two of the Four Emperors are meeting, and the newspapers have written about it in a very tempting way, but the Navy is keeping its cool?"
"Because they are completely distracted by another incident!" Robin took out another newspaper and handed it to Duke: "The latest report today is that the Navy is going to publicly execute the Whitebeard Pirates' second team captain, 'Fire Fist' Ace, in Marinford!"
