Chapter 271
"hehe Go, gorilla!"
On the stabilized 'Four Seasons Islands', Luffy gallops on the long-armed bear, Followed by golden's discharge duck Billy.
Luffy, a 'beast trainer', is volunteering to tame the island's enhanced beasts before they attack the people on the island. Of course, Luffy's taming has always been one trick:
Fight!
Ask still refuse to accept after playing, continue to play if you refuse to accept!
All Enhanced Beasts: I've served it
"Judging from the remaining images and text, this place should be a branch of the Yimer civilization four hundred years ago... …”
While Robin is researching the ruins of the island, Franky and Brook are guest bodyguards. ——Because Robin's ability is not very good for giant beasts whose skin is rough and flesh is thick.
"This windmill can help you to lift water and grind noodles, which can greatly save manpower..."
"Thank you, thank you Usopp Master!"
"hahaha , even if you call me Master, I won't be happy"
The sniper with the nose upturned;
"I have already helped you to clear the toxins from your body, just be quiet and cultivate. "..."
"Thank you, thank you so much Dr. Chopper!"
"Damn it, even if you call me a doctor, I won't be happy"
Twisted and twisted little reindeer;
"These two guys,"
Carrying over a nutritious recovery meal, Sanji impatiently placed it in front of Zoro.
"Eat!"
? !
Zoro, wrapped in bandages, held up a huge rock for rehab, and looked at Sanji with a gloomy attitude. Hesitating whether to accept this 'food', after a second:
It's really fragrant!
After the victory over the Golden Lion, the archipelago was designated Roman's 'private domain'.
Don't think this is some kind of slavery, - the commoners on the island can't ask for it. If any village in this world has no powerhouse oversee, or joins the Great Influence, it will immediately become the Pirates. paradise.
The wounded Straw Hat group went on their own adventures while recuperating here.
Only poor Nami was dragged around by Roman:
——————
Holy Land Mariejois,
"hahahaha, our 'white dove' Admiral is here"
"・・・Sensei, stop making fun of me."
Faced with Garp's molestation , Roman rolled the eyes helplessly. Since 'captured' to the Golden Lion, Roman's rank has been raised to Level 1 and is now the Roman Vice Admiral. Marine defaults to the alternate Admiral, and the name of 'white dove' is justified.
Furiously touted by major newspapers as 'the future pillar of Marine', 'the youngest Vice Admiral in eight hundred years', 'the name of Admiral is just around the corner', 'the throne of Fleet Admiral nothing difficult' and so on , reminds Roman of the five emperors in his previous life...
If Roman and Morgan didn't have a grudge, he would have suspected that the birdman was killing him.
"Roman Vice Admiral, first meeting."
Garp, as Marine Daimyo's Old Fox and Roman's Sensei, can of course make fun of Roman at will. Others won't be so ignorant:
At least the serious Water 7 mayor Iceburg has stood up and seriously extended his right hand to Roman.
"Mayor Iceburg, you're welcome."
The calm and steady Iceburg can say 'first meeting' without changing his face, but behind him Galley-La Barry, the vice president of the company, was shocked, and people knew there was a ghost at a glance.
"cough cough, Barry."
Iceburg turned to look at his dísciple and deputy.
"I know you admire Roman Vice Admiral a lot, but hold back a bit on this serious occasion."
"Ah, ah? Oh..."
I worship a ghost! Isn't this the staff of the Straw Hat regiment, how did it not take long to become Marine Vice Admiral? And the secretary at the back...is definitely the Navigator of the Straw Hat regiment, isn't it the Marine Captain?
This world is crazy, cats are bridesmaids for mice!
"Yes yes yes, I have admired Lord Vice Admiral since I was a child..."
? !
You're a big man with a beard and a big beard. In front of me, a teenager who has only put on a Marine coat for a year, what kind of ghost did you worship since you were a child?
Roman can't complain, but fortunately, it's all Old Fox present, so he doesn't know what to ask. Of course: except for a certain silver-haired old man with a smug smile on his face, looking at his appearance, I can't wait to have 'Luffy is my grandson' written on his face.
"Then, the meeting on the proposal for the construction of the second and third 'Sea Train' begins now."
Since the multi-party joint maritime giant 'Marine Justice' (not Ask, ask is Akainu Fleet Admiral's nomination) trade opening, East Blue and South Blue's material distribution is okay, but the great route is...
After all, many specialties of the great route are in the four major Sea Territory. It is a miracle. If it can be transported out, it will be dozens or hundreds of times the profit! However:
The transportation of the great route has always been a big problem. Winds and waves, Pirate are everywhere, Sea Beast is densely covered, and it is normal for cargo people to drift away at any time. Moreover, the carrying capacity of the general merchant ship is also very problematic, so that countries on the great route can not enjoy the dividends of United Shipping!
Can this be tolerated? no way!
"So today we're sitting here and solving this problem."
With retired Vice Admiral Garp and Vice Admiral Tsuru in line, Roman faced the kings all around the round table. And talk.
"The solution is the 'sea train', a tool that allows us to connect islands in series, making it easy to collect goods in one place. - Then there is Mr. Iceburg from Water 7 Explain to everyone."
"Everyone,"
Although Iceburg is just a 'mayor', to be honest, the difference between him and 'king' is just a different title That's it.
The Galley-La Company controlled by Iceburg is the economic lifeline and the largest job provider for the entire Water 7. At the same time, the shipyard's boatmen also work part-time as the city's armed forces, with tens of millions of bounty levels. The foreman is 'Captain'.
It can be said that most of the ordinary people of Water 7 are inseparable from three things in their lives: birth, joining the Galley-La Company, and death. ——Even if it is not directly into the Galley-La Company, it is also engaged in related services and outsourcing industries. Roman couldn't help but complain:
Isn't this the Samsung consortium of the previous life Bangzi!
Fortunately, Iceburg is a person of high moral character, otherwise even if he is crowned king immediately, it is guaranteed that the entire Water 7 will not have a voice of opposition.
Of course, it doesn't matter to the ordinary people that the leader is called 'king', 'head of state', 'chairman', 'mayor', as long as it can bring them a stable life.
"Our company has been using the 'sea train' for more than ten years, and so far there has not been a single technical accident..."
"Sea Train" The track of the train floats below the sea surface, which can avoid the damage of the sea waves; at the same time, the special noise of the train passing the track will make the Sea King class subconsciously avoid..."
"The sea train has a resistance level 8 The ability of the following winds and waves, as long as it is not extreme weather, can be unimpeded..."
If this series of professional words made several kings unclear, then the mayor of Iceburg The next paragraph immediately makes everyone full of energy!
"Can transport 500 tons of cargo at a time, mainly considering the marine environment-"
"Iceburg King!"
A muscular king Knocking on the table, he didn't bother to care about the other's title of 'mayor', and directly asked the most concerned question.
"Just tell me the cost of a sea train!"
"..."
Watching Iceburg stretch out A finger of the king frowned, known for his martial power.
"A billion Beli?"
It's a little expensive...
"No,"
This-
"Ten billion Beli?"
The other king next to him touched his beard, so even if several countries raised money, it would hurt a little...
"It's one hundred billion Beli."
? !
"Then what are we talking about! Who can afford something so expensive? - and what if there's a Pirate robbery!"
The Muscle King stood up suddenly, ready to go . However, he was immediately pulled by the long-bearded king next to him.
"Wait, wait, King Luciano. Marine..."
The long-bearded king gestured to Roman.
"I haven't made a statement yet, I think it won't let us go on an errand for nothing-"
"Right, 'Dove' Roman Vice Admiral."
p>
"Everyone don't be impatient."
Roman raised his hand and pressed it down.
"We Marine will also invest in the construction of sea trains, so you don't have to worry about Mr. Iceburg's lion's big mouth. - Sea trains that can resist Level 8 wind and waves are worth this price, and at the same time:"
Roman put a piece of metal on the table and let the surrounding kings look at each other in blank dismay, what does this mean?
"King Luciano,"
Roman slid the metal block in front of him with a flick.
"Can you bend this piece of metal?"
"hmph, what difficulty is there!"
As a king known for his martial power, Luciano is the Number One Powerhouse of their country, doing everything difficult! trifling steel -
Force,
? !
I can't break it!
Blushing,
"Woo-"
It's still completely motionless!
"Wow, I can't break it." The Muscle King generously admitted that he couldn't, and then curiously asked, "Is this the metal your Marine dug up from? It's so strong."
>This is not dug up, it is the product of Devil Fruit's ability to synthesize.
"The sea train made of this metal is not afraid of ordinary Sea Kings and swords and guns. There is no problem in safety! It can avoid the destruction of Pirate."
Don't Forget that the sea train in this world is very similar to the train in the previous life, but:
In fact, it can run without a track sea train!
The role of the track is mainly to point and drive the Sea King class, even if the track is destroyed, the sea train can move forward. It's just that walking in the unexplored Sea Territory is more risky.
And at the speed of the sea train, the general Pirate Ship only eats ashes... No, it eats the waves.
"Everyone, natural conditions and human factors have been eliminated. - Although the cost of sea trains is indeed high, the rewards are equally amazing! If your country's specialties can be transported to South Blue and East Blue, among them You should be very clear about the profit."
"Um..."
Several kings began to whisper, and the staff behind them whispered.
Nami, who was standing behind Roman as a secretary, looked at the king who treated him warmly and decided the fate of thousands of people with a single word, exuding a strange charm.
And for Roman, being poor is good for oneself, and being successful is good for the world.
Now that security is no longer a concern, it's time to help this world make some changes.
As the old saying goes: If you want to be rich, build roads first.
Standing on one's own will only lead to backwardness and beatings. Only frequent circulation and trade can make cities, countries, and even the world develop. And Water 7's sea train is definitely a technology that can change this world!
As long as the islands are unimpeded, people can communicate with each other, and many countries that have been reduced to ruins can avoid the tragedy of destruction. And many people don't need to be reduced to Pirate:
For example, Wapol de brother, their at first dream is to travel around the world.
・・・・・
Leaving World Government, Marine, and several member countries to discuss investment ratios and freight quotas for sea trains. Roman as the initiator left the Conference Hall with Nami, and Nami behind him thought about it:
"Roman, you said that if sea trains become popular, will ships be eliminated... ··"
"You mean to say whether Pirate will be eliminated?"
Roman could see Nami's entanglement at a glance. - Intellectually, Nami used to hate Pirate. But emotionally, Nami didn't want the Straw Hat group to lose their footing.
"Don't worry, this world is so vast. I don't know what year and month the sea train wants to cover the entire sea."
"Besides, we are not so much Pirates , rather an adventurer.—When have you seen Luffy do something that Pirate should do? Don't worry, it won't have any effect on us."
As for another sentence, Roman didn't say it:
As long as humanity exists, the struggle will never stop. ——It is better to say that the progress of human beings has been developed in the struggle. If there is no competition, what is the difference between humans and salted fish?
Maybe it won't be long before the 'New Pirate' that hijacks the sea train will appear on this sea...
"Roman Vice Admiral!"
A school official came hurriedly:
"There is an accident on the Marine Justice!"
? !
Well, it seems that Roman underestimates the people of this world.
'New Pirate' has appeared!
