Internet

The Internet (インターネット) is a worldwide system of computer networks. It is the backbone of modern-day communications technology in the World of Gourd Roger.

In the World of Gourd Roger
The Internet's primary role is for faster communication between peoples across various islands without the need of the News Coo which they believe is too slow to catch with the times. This was proven during the announcement of Doflamingo's abdication of his throne and sudden rebuttal. The base of the entire Internet network is located in the World Government's headquarters in New Mary Geoise. The entire network is comprised of new Transponder Snail types such as Input, Output, Memory and Integrated Chip Den Den Mushi.

There are also national top-level domains such as .di for and .bo for Bohemia Island, as well as generic ones particularly the .world domain. The World Government's web address is "gov.world".

There is also the "deep web" which both hackers and pirates use to access the Internet without authoritative regulations. This is where criminals and some elite businessmen conduct business deals which includes modern-day slavery.

Accessing the internet
There are several gadgets used to access the Internet. The most common is through the personal computer or PC. To connect to the Internet using one, the user must have another new type of snails named Tesula Den Den Mushi installed with the computer. Computers vary with newer models released every other week. The most up-to-date version of a PC seems to have a holographic display.

A newer method of accessing the internet is using a smartphone, which is also commonly referred to as phones like in real life. In order to access internet using a phone, various arrangements of dials are used to connect it with the closest Network Tesula Den Den Mushi. However unlike in real life, vertical video is prohibited since the video capture button is not visible during the phone's normal vertical position. The only known brand of smartphones in the world is Phonenohp which resembles real-life Android phones.
