Chapter 89
"Here, Mr. Roman."
In the royal tomb on the west side of the palace, Vivi’s father and middle-aged king Nefertari · Cobra are waiting solemnly it's here.
"King Cobra, please don't use the name "Mr.", just call me by my name."
Facing Roman’s words, the middle age person opposite is gentle Nodded, instantly changed from a majestic king to a friendly neighbor uncle.
"Then Roman, you also have to call me'Cobra' or'Cobra uncle'. It's always the king's, doesn't it seem to be out of the ordinary?"
" ·····That’s right,"
"So, Cobra uncle." Roman was kind, "about what I proposed..."
"Well, your information is very good 'Accurate'."
Even too accurate!
I can clearly know that Nefertari keeps the'Dark King' manual, and even know that it is in the mausoleum, except for the Nefertari royal family, there are only those...
"That's it."
As the middle-aged king touched an unremarkable statue decoration in the mausoleum, a passage to the underground was cracked on the originally empty floor.
"The'historical stone tablet' is inside."
"Very good," facing the legendary battleship'Dark King' that destroyed an island in one shot, Roman remain unmoved, but turned his head and looked towards the stone pillar of the mausoleum next to it.
"Nico ·Robin."
"As you can see, I have fulfilled my promise."
Tattoo,
Turn out a white windbreaker from behind the stone pillar and a tall silhouette with a white cowboy hat. It is the highest cadre of the Baroque Works room: Miss. All Sunday.
"Here is..."
"Yes, that's your goal: historical stone tablet."
Roman let the road go down The channel made a'please' gesture.
The intellectual woman named Nico Robin took a deep look at Roman, and then walked towards the passage below. ——No matter what is waiting for her inside, at least this is the closest she has been to'Poneglyph'! So we must never give up.
·········
"Don’t you go down and take a look?"
As Nico ·Robin enters the underground tomb and stays The King Cobra outside chatted with Roman casually.
"What are you looking at? A big rock you don't recognize?"
Roman just leaned on the stone pillar beside him, "I know what you are worried about, Cobra uncle."
"It's nothing more than'Dark King' falling into ambitious hands, and then so what"
"Speaking of which, you didn't ambush three hundred swordsmen and axemen around What kind of thing, it has surprised me."
Although the father of Vivi and the king of Alabasta in the previous original works are notoriously wise, but--
In the face of events that may cause chaos in the world, the more wise the king is, the more decisive! Judging from the other party’s bombing of the tomb without the slightest hesitation in the original work, the other party is definitely not a naive and stupid person...
"he he he, Roman you guy."
"Young people are rigorous schemes and deep foresight, why can't you be frank like other people?"
Faced with the ridicule of the middle age person next to him, Roman rubbed his forehead .
"Sorry, I have to take care of the naive fellow on this ship...especially our captain, we must consider all the issues that should be considered by them."
"However, you can rest assured."
"I have no interest in Dark King," Roman said, pointing his thumb to the tunnel next to him. "The woman inside has no interest in Dark King either. You may not believe it: she is just a simple archaeologist."
So, it is not necessary to kill a witness to silence them.
-Although there is no'expert' in Alabasta that can kill Roman or Nico Robin.
Tattoo.
Soon, Nico · Robin walked out of the secret road and saw her disappointed expression and: "It's really unexpected, I thought there were already three hundred elites waiting outside. It’s me."
······
"I really want to take you down,"
Roman rolled the eyes, didn't expect unexpectedly There are others who think exactly the same.
"I am enough!"
"Then..." Nico ·Robin spread his hands, "Do you want to do it?"
······
"Let’s go, let’s go, I have fulfilled my promise."
Roman and middle age after King Cobra turned his mechanism to close the tomb next to him The king turned decisively and left, leaving Nico · Robin with a surprised look.
———————
"Of course I believe you, Roman."
"But the woman named'Nico · Robin'·· ···"
After the two came out of the royal tomb, they walked all the way to the north of the Imperial Palace. Compared with the deserted West, these are five steps one person, ten steps one whistle! There are even soldiers who lie on the ground and listen to the Ability User from underground. Although in front of the true expert, such defenses are just in vain, but——
"King Your Majesty, please show your password."
"Newborn."
"Please pass, Your Majesty."
Well, facing the serious soldiers, Roman will naturally not say, "You are just "Doing useless work" is such a despicable thing.
"Don't worry,"
Roman took the topic of King Cobra just now.
"I know Nico Robin quite well. As I said before, she is not an ambitious, but a simple archaeologist. What's more--"
Thinking of my own hint, because of the woman’s obsession with'Poneglyph', she would probably still choose to board Luffy’s boat...
"After a while, Uncle will see her in the newspaper Join the Straw Hat group news."
? ? ?
"Well, I believe in you."
Although such affection is not a behavior that a king should have, but-Na Nefertari · Cobra is a person who loves the people like a child, A great monarch who is committed to his people.
"King Your Majesty,"
"Mr. Roman,"
As Cobra and Roman walked into this heavily guarded building, a golden curly hair Captain Icarim, the court guard, greeted him. Well, he is Mr.8, the manager of Baroque Works who met when he was in Whiskey Mountain. On the surface, Robin was bombed into the sea, but the other party actually let him go.
This room is filled with various experimental equipment, huge water tanks, and various pipes!
"Someone once said that'technology is the primary productive force',"
Roman came to a container that had been built according to his requirements, waved his hand, one by one. A special white paper falls into it, dividing the container into two sides.
"Even in this...world."
Roman can't talk to the scientists next to him. At most, they are nodded by the old people of the'craftsmen'. As they pulled the valve, a huge amount of water poured into the container, then penetrated to the other side of the container, and finally flowed out of the faucet——
"Clean water!!"
" Is this really drinking water?"
"Gosh, this is a miracle! This is a gift from God—"
For a moment, several old people seemed to be possessed by a demon. Laughing and jumping, even Icarim, who had always been calm, trembled in his hands and feet. He stepped forward and took a glass of water, first took a sip, and then brought it to King Cobra.
"Your Majesty, really—"
gu lu!
He grabbed the water glass and drank the liquid in it!
Middle age person The king closed his eyes and felt for a while, then suddenly opened his eyes! Turned to face Roman——
Boom,
Knelt down.
"Mr. Roman, my tens of thousands of people of Alabasta--"
"Thanks to you! Thank you...Thank you very much!!"
The only thing that can make Monarch of the entire Country so excited is:
Desalination technology.
"hey hey hey, hurry up," Roman who was forcibly supporting the opponent twitched his mouth, "If Vivi sees this, he will beat me!"
Of course, just kidding.
"Technology is the primary productive force." Facing the'reverse osmosis' seawater desalination device ahead, Roman snapped his fingers, "The technology is not enough, the fruits will come together."
crash -bang
Pictures of white paper flew out of Roman and folded into a neat and tidy square in the room. Let the eyes of others around you look at these blank papers as if they were looking at gold!
Paper Dance-Water Purification (Chapter 17)
In fact, Devil Fruit this thing is not only used for battle, but also for people's livelihood! It was originally just the method used by Roman to purify seawater on the Golden Meri. If it is used on a large scale in Alabasta...
"However, I am impossible to stay in Alabasta for a long time."
"So, you still need to test out the appropriate filter material by yourself. Before that, you can use the paper I made to top it."
Roman pointed to the other one next to it. 'Pan-type solar distiller', "Solar method, with your Alabasta's vast coastline and sufficient sunlight, in fact, this is the easiest and most convenient way of desalination."
"Although I don't want to question you Traditional, but just waiting for the weather to rain, this is not the kind of tolerance that humans should have."
With this, even if there is any Crocodile messing up, it won’t cause this situation.
Man will conquer the sky!
It is the secret that human beings stand on top of all things.
