The Paper Fruit Among the Pirates

"News, big news!!"

"'World Destroyer' is under attack, the justice of the navy is irresistible!"

"A new generation of naval leaders? Behind the rapid promotion, is it military merit or..."

As the newspaper birds flying all over the sky sent newspapers to the entire sea, the name 'Roman' became well known. Whether it is the feat of single-handedly killing 500 million big pirates, and arresting pirates like "cleaning up" every once in a while, it can make countless people cheer and look sideways.

And Roman at this time:

"What the hell? If I have the strength to single out Walder..."

Roman, who was holding the newspaper, rubbed his chin, - after he became proficient in Momo's pages, it would be worthwhile to single out Wald! After all, the pages of Momo can 'magnify' the power, speed, and even the ability of other fruit effects...

Roman's methods are much richer than Wald who can only throw stones.

It is definitely the most heaven-defying page!

"Very good, I can be considered an elite lieutenant general now, right?"

Elite lieutenant generals in this world can already say one thing: The world is so big, it's impossible to go there.

What's more, Roman's various abilities are doomed to retreat if he is not targeted by the ceiling, even if he can't beat him. Finally, you can breathe a sigh of relief, then:

"Major Ann, is the chart ready?"

"Give,"

Nami beside her handed over a stack of sea charts, and Roman rolled them up without even looking at them. ——Joke, can there still be problems with the nautical chart drawn by Nami?

If so, something must have gone wrong with the world.

Yes, it is like that!

—————

"Brigadier General Roman! May I ask whether Walder is alive or dead..."

"Brigadier Roman! Excuse me..."

As soon as we got off the boat, there were dense crowds of reporters rushing forward! Let Polkin and others have to "guest" bodyguards to set up a wall.

"Give way, please make way!"

"Don't be crowded, don't..."

Facing the excited reporters, Roman just gave Nami a look of "I leave it to you", and then asked Iska to take care of the ship. And he strode towards the marshal's office.

boom boom boom

"Please come in."

Amidst Akainu's serious voice, Roman pushed them away, - good guy!

How long has it been? The spiritual uncle who once fought all over the world at the top and beat all the masters of the Pirate side all by himself became:

With a messy beard, dense crow's feet around the corners of the eyes, only the flame of the cigar kept flickering in the smog, and the piles of documents next to him... he looked like an impatient social animal. Who would have thought it would be the Admiral of the Navy?

"Marshal Akainu,"

He walked to the side and opened the window, and immediately a thick smoke billowed out, Roman shook his head helplessly.

The position of Admiral of the Navy is really suffering!

On the top there are Wulaoxing and Tianlongren, and on the bottom there are generals who try to resist their orders. They are simply mice in the bellows, and they are angry at both ends.

"Even if you don't pay attention to your body, pay attention to our body."

"The harm of second-hand smoke... huh? Has no one published it? Then I will publish it in two days."

"Stop talking nonsense!"

He didn't know the distress of being the "boss" until he sat in the position of marshal, and Akainu's temper grew day by day. However, most of the time, it can only be incompetent and furious. ——Such as facing the Celestial Dragons.

"Good job."

Fortunately, Roman's "business ability" is enough to make Akainu look differently. Among a large group of reports about warships, manpower, supplies, and this and that, Roman's report was the only one. but:

"Why didn't Wald be escorted to Advance City?"

Facing Akainu's question, Roman took out a chart.

"I have a plan."

?

········

Boom!

"It's just nonsense!!"

A violent slap on the table came from the marshal's office, which made the passing navy tremble and subconsciously quicken their pace.

"Buying and selling can't be benevolent, Marshal Akainu."

The moment the opponent slapped the table, Roman took away the chart on the table in advance, making Akainu glare at him after the slap was empty! ——But that’s all there is to it.

"I think Commodore Roman's proposal is very interesting,"

Lieutenant General He, the chief of naval staff next to him, took over the topic, "We already have enough enemies, there is no need to push everyone to the opposite side."

"But that's a pirate!!"

Akainu spit out a puff of smoke, and his whole body was like a depressed volcano.

"Wald, Hancock...these are notorious criminals, and now they want to—"

"40 billion Baileys."

? !

In an instant, even the furious Akainu calmed down instantly.

"My proposal," Roman raised the chart in his hand, "can bring more than 40 billion Baileys to the world government... no, the navy will bring in more than 40 billion Berries a year in profit. ——This is just a preliminary estimate. You can buy the head of a Four Emperors every year. Isn’t Marshal not tempted?”

"...you can talk about it carefully."

Of course Akainu is excited!

He himself doesn't care about money, and the entertainment in his spare time is just tending to bonsai. But it was only after he became the admiral of the navy that he knew what it means to be "not in charge of the family, you don't know the value of salt and rice". The navy of the whole world is reaching out to him with two words:

Ask for money!

Bases need money, warships need money, training needs money, rewards need money, scientific research... It's even a gold-swallowing behemoth! So now Akainu can't wait to rush out and catch a few big pirates in exchange for bounties.

It's just that when he thinks that money goes in with his left hand and goes out with his right, he feels a pain in his chest.

This admiral is wrong!

··········

"To sum up, relying on Wald's ability and the advantage of Nine Snake Island in the windless zone, we can completely carry out cross-sea trade!"

Roman's so-called "crossing the sea" does not mean going from one island to another, but:

Ocean trade from the South China Sea to the East China Sea!

We must know that it is not only rough seas, bad weather, and fierce beasts in the sea that restrict the development of ocean trade in this world.

There are also two special environments: Red Earth Continent and Windless Belt!

Not to mention the Red Earth Continent, the thousand-meter cliffs that go straight up and down, small-scale transportation is no problem, but it is a nightmare to transport across a large area.

The same is true for the windless zone. Not only is there no wind, but even the currents are only longitudinal currents. At the same time, it is full of giant sea kings. Even the special warships of the navy need to look at their faces if they want to cross the windless belt.

"The 'Perfume Snake' in the Amazon's Daughter Kingdom can disperse the sea kings, and the female warriors headed by Hancock are fully capable of guarding. ——Actually, just one ship in the Amazon Daughter Kingdom can plunder throughout the year To whom?"

"And Wald can turn a ship into a giant ship for a long time when there is no need to fight! Not only can it miraculously maintain the stability of the ship, it can even accelerate forward with only a certain amount of propulsion."

Roman is selling the product of his brainstorming to the admiral and chief of staff.

"Wald's ability allows our navy to transport a huge amount of goods at one time, and the empress can disperse the sea kings to escort them. Our navy can definitely engage in high-sea trade. Think about it, the price difference between the South China Sea and the East China Sea... ···”

The official monopoly of transportation trade is the real profit!

What kind of population trading and arms trading, in the face of such a throughput of more than a dozen or dozens of countries, is simply a joke.

- dead silence

Looking at Marshal Akainu and Chief of Staff Crane who were lost in thought, Roman walked to the window and looked outside:

The production of devil fruit is really a blow to dimensionality reduction!

It's just that people in this world are used to fighting.

The huge amount of trade has brought about the improvement of ordinary people's living standards, and the frequent exchanges and collisions of various materials and knowledge... Only the "improvement" of the entire world can eradicate the big pirate world! As for after that—

Roman looked up at the blue sky and white clouds, and lost his mind for a moment.

'Commander Roman...'

"Commander Roman!"

?

"Ah, sorry."

When Roman turned his head, he had already seen the answer in the eyes of Akainu and Crane.

"We approved your plan, but—"

Red Dog stood up.

"For the first trade, I must personally lead the team!"

"certainly."

—————

After one month:

Using Walder's Momo ability to expand an armed merchant ship into a real sea fortress, and then let Nami create a "wind" along the way, and the sweaty naval masters in the cabin artificially push it, and then accelerate it with the Momo fruit. Run at a normal pace.

Then, the Nine Snake Pirates, who look like toys under the feet of a strong man, escort and disperse the Neptunes... In fact, it is a question of whether there are Neptunes who dare to tease these huge ships of several kilometers.

In this way, the huge ship composed of fruit ability and a group of masters crossed the windless belt twice, and successfully transported 100,000 tons of various materials from the South China Sea to the East China Sea.

"This... this is really..."

"A miracle—"

After the giant ship unloaded its cargo on the islands in the East China Sea, the naval masters who acted as 'coolies' temporarily stared dumbfounded at the endless containers in front of them. Different from the destructive power of those masters raising their hands and raising their feet, this stretch of materials represents:

It is hope and progress!

"How? Is there any problem with my plan?"

Facing Roman's question, the senior navy executives were busy calculating how much they could earn on this trip. And that number has left Nami next to her with blank eyes.

"Roman, is it so easy to make money?"

What is it that I worked so hard before...

"I'm dignified...cough cough,"

Roman waved his hand. "Just use your brain and think about it, isn't it easy to make a lot of money?"

By the way, the container carrying the goods was 'knocked' out by Gailam of the Walder Pirates with his bare hands. With the unscientific nature of devil fruits, he alone is like a modern production line.

"Commander Roman, very good, very good!"

Akainu looked at Roman more and more pleasing to the eye, more and more satisfied. ——If it weren't for Roman's lack of hard power, looking at Akainu's posture, he would have planned to promote him to general on the spot.

"There's a lot of unused space on this ship,"

The red dog, who was led by Roman's brain hole, walked around and gave the order.

"Tear down all the forts!"

"But····"

"With so many of us, are we afraid that someone will dare to snatch it?"

"Tear down the living room!"

"But····"

"They are all soldiers, let everyone sleep on the deck!"

·······

Tsk tsk tsk, this is all in Qianqian's eyes, Marshal Akainu.

"Brigadier General Roman, congratulations~~"

"It seems that little friend Roman will be promoted soon..."

"Brother Roman, have a drink later?"

And the navy masters greeted Roman with a pleasant face. Of course, those who can lead everyone to victory will be welcomed, and those who can win battles and lead everyone to make money.

Of course, everyone loves it, and flowers bloom when they see flowers!
