Zhou Ming looked at Enelu, who was covered in domineering aura, with a smile on his face.

“With the Thunder Fruit as the core, I think it should be enough to serve as the energy and core of the Thunder Palace.” Many inspirations popped up in Zhou Ming’s mind.

The Thunder Palace can actually become an energy factory, a mechanical factory, and produce the necessary machinery.

Immediately taking control of the steel battleship, he headed for the only land on Sky Island, Arpaiado in the Kingdom of God, which was actually part of Gaya Island.

When the huge steel ship arrived at this land, it immediately alarmed the people guarding it.

“Calvin, deal with them.” Zhou Ming said lightly.

“Yes!” Calvin nodded, and the humanity immediately formed an invisible energy ball that enveloped him and then floated towards a black panther beast.

The level of this black panther beast has been upgraded to level three, which is much stronger than its initial form.

The huge black panther beasts jumped down. There were more than 100 of them in total, enough to solve everything.

At this time, Nami and Robin came out, stood on the tall ship, and looked down.

“Look over there, is that gold?” Nami said suddenly with her eyes lighting up.

Her eyes were shining with golden light. Even from such a long distance, she was able to lock onto him at a glance. She was indeed a money-grubber.

Zhou Ming immediately controlled the steel warship to fly over, and a golden city appeared before his eyes.

“I’m rich, I’m rich.” Nami was so happy that she went crazy.

“With this gold, it is enough to develop the entire empire.” Zhou Ming said softly.

The Iron Empire, this is the force that Zhou Ming wants to build.

In fact, compared to gold, these gold utensils are more valuable as antiques.

In the original work, Luffy and his friends went directly to the gold exchange shop to sell it, which could actually be considered a low price sale.

No matter how much Nami loves money, her lack of professional knowledge will still cause her to make major errors in judgment and she will not be able to maximize the use of these gold antiques.

However, although money is important, fighting power is more important.

Zhou Ming controlled the golden beast and jumped down. He instantly stood in the golden city. He glanced around, looking for some unimportant gold.

The light on its body rippled slightly, and the gold turned into powder light, merging into the body of the golden beast, completely stimulating its power.

Robin looked at this scene and felt a little moved. He observed the city below and his eyes suddenly locked on one place.

“Zhou Ming! Can I go down and take a look?” Robin finally couldn’t help but speak.

“Okay, go down if you want! With your current strength, nothing here can kill you.” Zhou Ming nodded and said.

After a slight silence, Robin nodded with a false smile, jumped off the steel ship.

Several hands stretched out from behind, and mechanical force formed a jet device that flew directly into the air.

“You use it quite skillfully. The petals form limbs including eyes. It is suitable for high-powered weapons such as long-range sniping. It is also suitable for other uses.” Zhou Ming looked at Robin and said softly.

At this moment, the golden beast absorbed enough gold and underwent a complete transformation.

【Golden Beast King
Level: LV16 (Grade A)
Template: S-level template

Weapons: Electromagnetic gun, Thunder gun
Skills: Lion’s Roar Thunder Cannon, Thunder from the Sky.

Special move: Thunder in the sky. 】

Zhou Ming’s eyes lit up as he looked at the golden beast king that had evolved to 8.7 meters. After obtaining enough gold, it completely evolved into a complete S-level template.

The strength is so great that it can be said to be earth-shaking.

The two horns have transformed into weapons, and can fire electromagnetic cannons at will, with far greater power than before. At the same time, it can launch the skill Lion Roar Thunder Cannon, with the assistance of the two horns on the head, and burst out a more powerful thunder cannon from its mouth.

The golden spear is covered with golden spots, and this weapon has also been upgraded and can burst out the power of thunder and lightning at will.

He can even use the skill Sky Thunder Strike, which has a similar effect to Lei Ying.

With the power of Jing Leiqiang, he rushed into the sky, gathered lightning, and then bombarded it over a large area.

Overcast or thunderstorms greatly increase the power of this ability, just like the Human Torch during a full moon.

The final trick, Thunder in the Sky, is a ultimate throwing move with extremely strong instantaneous explosive power.

“My level has also been raised to 16. I only have four levels left to reach the maximum level.” Zhou Ming showed a smile on his face.

At this time, Calvin flew over from a distance, landed on the steel straight ship, and half-knelt on the ground.

“Chief! The enemies have been eliminated, except for a small number of people who escaped into the sea of ​​clouds. This area has been preliminarily occupied.” Calvin said.

“Okay! This will be a stronghold of the Iron Empire in the future. I will build a Thunder Palace here. Your task is to capture the people here and get them to join the empire.” Zhou Ming turned around and looked at Calvin and said.

“Remember, joining the Empire means you are part of us. Your power and status may vary, but as individuals, everything is equal under the self. Do you understand what I mean?”

Calvin quickly knelt on the ground and said, “Chief, we are all born slaves, so we naturally understand. I promise that except for special circumstances, there will be no other unnatural deaths, and everyone’s life will be above the basic standard.”

Zhou Ming nodded, not because he wanted to be a good guy but to prove what kind of person he was.

However, if you want to build a powerful empire, you cannot just rely on controlling people’s lives. What you need to control is their hearts, so you need some means.

Although the mechanical body is under control, if Zhou Ming were a machine, it would have various needs as a human being, so a country where humans and mechanical bodies coexist should be established.

After searching for a suitable piece of land in this area, the people of the Iron Empire, who already knew their identities, began to build the Thunder Palace.

The core of the Thunder Palace is the Thunder Fruit.

As time passed, the Thunder Palace was gradually completed.

……

“Lord Mecha King!” Two figures over six meters tall said, half-kneeling on the ground.

Zhou Ming looked at his two masterpieces during this period and nodded with satisfaction.

“From now on you will be my guards, two of the six guards. I need you to improve your strength as quickly as possible, reach the limit of your template, and then seek a breakthrough.” Zhou Ming said.

“Yes!” two figures said at the same time.

One of them is a fighter jet and the other is a helicopter.

That is, Supersonic and Tornado. They were the first two to be defeated by Zhou Ming, which means that their kind can be created at will.

At the same time, it can also produce two types of armed machines: fighter jets and helicopters.

As an A-level template and also a general in the Mecha King system, he is incomparable to ordinary soldiers in terms of intelligence and uniqueness.

Just by training you can also gain a good amount of experience, and the speed of improvement is very fast below level 15.

“With the six motorcycle generals as guards and the beast tribe’s war king as marshal, the basic upper framework of the Iron Empire is completed.” Zhou Ming looked at the remaining materials.

Especially one of them is an S-class mechanical core formed after synthesizing multiple resources.

It can be said that it emptied the family’s savings, but it was totally worth it.
