Chapter 303 Alabasta’s Proposal
"Then it's time for my proposal!" King Cobra looked around, stood up and said, "First of all, what I propose is to abolish the useless title of Shichibukai!"
During the World Conference, the kings discussed the problems they encountered, the events that need to be resolved by the world government, etc., and the demands of each king were different, and the purpose and style were also different, so the so-called World Conference was simply It's like a noisy vegetable market, but fortunately everyone is a king, so when no one can convince anyone, they will temporarily put it on hold and solve other people's problems first.
Alabasta, a large desert country, has developed better and better in recent years, so when King Cobra spoke, most of the kings listened quietly.
Taking Alabasta as an example, he stated the evil deeds of Qibuhai, and there are not enough people who are still sitting in Qibuhai's position. In addition, he proposed to disband Shichibukai on the grounds that he did not help everyone at all.
King Liku III of Dressrosa also stood up and responded. Their kingdom was also disturbed all over the country because of the former Qiwu Kaido Flamingo.
Finally, after a unanimous discussion among the kings, the proposal was finally passed.
"Very good, since everyone has approved my proposal just now, in return, I will share with you a piece of information!" Cobra smiled, and then said to all the kings.
"King Cobra speaks up when he has something to say, we don't have much time!" A king couldn't help frowning when he saw Cobra's trickery.
"Don't worry, the information I shared with you is the reason for the rapid rise of Alabasta in the past few years and the easy accumulation of huge funds!" Cobra said softly.
"What? It's this?" A king, who was still a little listless, sat up straight, stared at Cobra, and asked in disbelief.
"Impossible, isn't it? Who doesn't know that Alabasta is a poor desert country? Although the land area is not small, it lives in a desert with harsh weather and climate, so the country has never been rich, but in the past two years, it has suddenly changed from the past. Be poor, become rich! I heard that many kings went to ask questions, but they never mentioned it when they came back. Is it finally going to be made public today?" Another king looked at Cobra with his eyes shining. , I was very excited.
"Cobra, shut up, can you talk nonsense about this kind of thing?" This is a kingdom not far from Alabasta. They have already learned the secret, so they don't want Cobra to tell it.
"Haha, I didn't expect such a good thing to happen today, Cobra, I am optimistic about you!"
For the kings who didn't know the reason, they were naturally very satisfied with Cobra's move.
"Whether you are willing to listen or not, or want me to speak, or not to let me speak, please be quiet!" Cobra stretched out his hands and pressed down, and said: "I have decided to make this matter public, so All you have to do is listen!"
"Actually, all the secrets lie with an old friend of mine! That is Tom, the world's number one shipbuilder!" Cobra directly said a name that no one expected.
"Master Tom? But Master Tom who built the pirate ship of One Piece Roger? Isn't he already dead?" A king who understood asked aloud.
"That's right, it's Master Tom! I'll elaborate on his affairs here to waste everyone's time, but you should know his ability. In addition to making Roger's pirate ship, he also designed a A train sea train that can run on the sea!" Cobra said with a smile and nodded.
In fact, the person who spoke just now was someone he and Ye Luo had arranged for a long time ago. According to what Ye Luo said, it was meaningless for him to speak by himself, so he arranged a few supporters to help him set off the atmosphere.
"Sea train? The sea train in the capital of water?" Another king who had heard the name of the sea train asked in surprise.
"That's right, the sea train, whether you know it or not, I will simply say it, the sea train, a kind of train that runs on the sea! The key is that this kind of train runs on the track, as long as it is not particularly large It can pass through the storm, and it doesn’t need to record the pointer!” Cobra nodded and said.
"So what?" As a trustee, he naturally had to stand up and ask questions at this time.
"Good question, so what about this? I didn't know it at first, but now I can tell you that it's very good!" Cobra nodded secretly at the king who asked the question, and continued: " Originally, I built the sea train only because of my friend Sakura Kingdom, where there are many doctors, and it is Winter Island! So after building a sea train passage, the communication between the two countries can be increased!"
The meeting place became very quiet. Everyone was waiting for Cobra to continue explaining. He didn't hesitate and continued:
"The result? To our surprise, not only Alabasta's economy, strength, etc. have risen, but also the Sakura Kingdom. In the end, the two of us combined together to find resources that we don't need in Alabasta. They are in short supply, for they are the Winter Isles and we are the Desert!"
Speaking of this, some smart kings have already thought of it. Selling cheap things from their own kingdom to other countries may be valuables worth thousands of gold. The weather on the route is changeable and weird, and the risk of going to sea is too high.
But with sea trains, it is different. Every sea train is escorted by the navy, and warships patrol every track from time to time. Now in the first half of the great route, no pirates dare to attack the sea train. up.
"So in summary, everyone should know the reason for our rapid development in Alabasta, right? That's right, it is to establish a dedicated commercial channel for sea trains with other countries, and this channel is only in the hands of our royal family. Even the Celestial Dragons can't get involved! Because this is our own government affairs, the Celestial Dragons have no right to interfere!" Cobra finally finished what he wanted to say.
His words made the whole meeting extremely quiet, and all the kings were thinking about their own affairs. After a while, one of them stood up and asked, "Thank you, King Cobra, for sharing this information with us." , but is King Cobra missing something? Like how the sea train is going to be laid?"
"This requires conditions, not everyone can know, if you want to know, as long as you meet my conditions!" Cobra said with a smile.
"What condition?" Tor asked, frowning.
"I knew it was impossible for this bad old man, Cobra, to be so kind. He actually told us such big news. It seems that he is here waiting for us!"
"Sure enough, there is no free lunch in the world, it depends on how much appetite Cobra has!"
The kings all showed such expressions, and Cobra was very embarrassed. In fact, Cobra didn't think about charging anything at first, but Ye Luo told him that it can't be free, otherwise the group of kings should suspect him again. purpose.
"If you want to build the sea train track, you must first sign a mutual opening treaty with us in Alabasta, and that's it! I can send an engineering team to build the track, and you only need to pay for the construction cost!" Cobra said. said with a smile.
"It's that simple?" a king asked in disbelief.
"What an idiot, is this simple? I think King Cobra has a big appetite! We need to promise him that we must establish a business route with Alabasta. In this way, Alabasta can be said to be connected to all countries. Alright, although we can get some benefits, the one who benefits the most is Alabasta!" A wiser king immediately figured out the key point and said.
"Hiss, does he want to be the center of the world?" The kings were reminded of this, and they all reacted, and when they looked at Cobra again, their eyes were different!
But they also have their own small talk in their hearts. If they don’t say it now, it doesn’t mean they won’t say it after the meeting, especially those countries not far from Alabasta and the kings who know that water capitals can also build sea trains.
It's just that they don't know that the iceberg in the capital of water has already made an agreement with Ye Luo and joined Ye Luo's plan, so now, apart from Alabasta, the only people who want to build the track of the sea train are navy too.
Seeing the kings who were discussing a lot but didn't know the meaning behind this strategy, Cobra couldn't help sighing. Ye Luo, who talked about this with him back then, has grown to this point, and their goal is no longer a castle in the air. , but a plan that is being realized!
