The Paper Fruit Among the Pirates

"Hee hee hee~~Come on, gorilla beast!"

On the stabilized "Four Seasons Islands", Luffy was flying on a long-armed bear, followed by Billy the golden electric duck.

As a "beast tamer", Luffy is volunteering to tame the enhanced beasts on the island to prevent them from attacking the people on the island. Of course, Luffy has always had only one trick to tame beasts:

hit!

After the fight, ask if you are convinced, if you are not satisfied, continue to fight!

All the enhanced beasts: Take it~~~

"Judging from the remaining images and text, this place should belong to the branch of the Yimer civilization four hundred years ago..."

While Robin is researching the ruins on the island, Frankie and Brooke are guest bodyguards. ——Because Robin's ability is not very useful for those giant beasts with rough skin and thick flesh.

"This windmill can help you carry water and grind noodles, and can greatly save manpower..."

"Thank you, thank you Master Usopp!"

"Hahaha, even if you call me master, I won't be happy~~"

a sniper with an upturned nose;

"I've already helped you remove the toxins in your body, just rest in peace..."

"Thank you, thank you so much Dr. Chopper!"

"I hate it, even if you call me a doctor, I won't be happy~~"

twisted little reindeer;

"These two guys,"

Bringing a nutritious recovery meal over, Sanji impatiently put it in front of Zoro.

"eat!"

? !

Zoro, who was wrapped in a bandage, was doing rehabilitation exercises while holding a huge rock, and looked at Sanji with a bad attitude with a gloomy face. After hesitating whether to accept this 'cheesy food', after a second:

It smells so good!

After defeating the Golden Lion, the archipelago was classified as Roman's 'private territory'.

Don't think it's slavery—the commoners on the island can't wait for it. If any village or town in this world doesn't have a strong man sitting in it, or joining a powerful force, it will immediately become a paradise for pirates.

The injured members of the Straw Hats went on their own adventures while recuperating here.

Only poor Nami was dragged by Roman to keep busy:

—————

San Marie Gioia,

"Hahahaha, our general 'White Pigeon' has arrived~~"

"...Teacher, don't make fun of me."

Facing Garp's molestation, Roman rolled his eyes helplessly. Since 'capturing' the Golden Lion, Roman's military rank has been raised by one level, and he is now Lieutenant General Roman. The navy internally defaults as an alternate admiral, and the name 'White Dove' is justifiable.

What the major newspapers crazily touted as "the future pillar of the navy", "the youngest lieutenant general in 800 years", "the name of the general is just around the corner", "the throne of the marshal" and so on, reminded Roman of his previous life. Five Emperors····

If it weren't for the fact that Roman and Morgans had no enmity, he would have suspected that birdman was killing him.

"Lieutenant General Roman, meeting for the first time."

Karp, as the famous veteran of the Navy and Roman's teacher, can of course make fun of Roman at will. Others would not be so ignorant:

At least Bingshan, the serious mayor of the City of Seven Waters, had already stood up and extended his right hand to Roman seriously.

"Mayor Bingshan, you're welcome."

The calm and steady Bingshan can say "meet you for the first time" without changing his face, but behind him, Barry, the vice president of Carrera Company, has a shocked expression on his face, which makes people know there is a ghost at a glance.

"Ahem, Barry."

Bingshan turned his head and looked at his disciple and deputy calmly.

"I know you admire Lieutenant General Roman, but restrain yourself on such a serious occasion."

"Ah, ah? Oh..."

I worship a ghost! Isn't this the staff officer of the Straw Hats? How did he become a vice admiral in a short time? And the secretary at the back...is definitely the navigator of the Straw Hats, so he is also the captain of the navy?

The world is too crazy, the cat is the bridesmaid for the mouse!

"Yes, yes, I have admired the Lieutenant General since I was a child..."

? !

You are a big man with a beard, in front of me, a boy who has only put on a navy coat for a year, what kind of ghost did you worship since childhood?

Roman couldn't make complaints about it, but fortunately, the people present were all veterans, so they didn't know what to ask. Of course: Except for a certain silver-haired old man with a smug smile, looking at him, he can't wait to write 'Lu Fei is my grandson' on his face.

"Then, the meeting on the construction proposals for the second and third 'sea trains' will start now."

Since the multi-party joint shipping giant "Navy Justice" (don't ask, the question is nominated by Admiral Akainu) has been opened, the distribution of materials in the East China Sea and the South China Sea is okay, but the great route is...

After all, many special products of the great route are simply miraculous things in the four seas. If they can be transported out, the profit will be dozens or even hundreds of times! but:

The transportation of the great route has always been a big problem. There are strong winds and waves, pirates are everywhere, and sea beasts are densely populated. It is normal for the cargo and cargo to disappear at any time. Moreover, the load capacity of ordinary merchant ships is also very problematic, so that the countries on the great route cannot actually enjoy the dividends of United Shipping!

Can this be tolerated? no way!

"So we're sitting here today, addressing that."

Retired Lieutenant General Garp and Lieutenant General Crane held the lineup, and Roman talked eloquently to several kings around the round table.

"The solution is the 'Sea Train'. With this tool, we can connect the islands together and easily gather the goods in one place. ——Then, Mr. Bingshan from the City of Seven Waters will explain it to you."

"Everyone,"

Although Bingshan is just a 'mayor', to be honest, the difference between him and the 'king' is just a different title.

The Carrera Company controlled by Iceberg is the economic lifeline and the largest provider of jobs in the entire capital of seven waters. At the same time, the boatmen in the shipyard also work part-time in the city's armed forces. Among them, the tens of millions of bounty-level foremen are the "captains" '.

It can be said that the vast majority of ordinary people in all the capitals of seven waters cannot do without three things in their lives: birth, joining Carrera, and death. ——Even if you don’t directly enter Carrera, you are engaged in related services and outsourcing industries. Let Roman can't help complaining:

Isn't this the Samsung consortium of Bangzi in his previous life!

Fortunately, Bingshan is a man of noble character, otherwise, even if he is crowned king immediately, it is guaranteed that there will be no voice of opposition in the entire Seven Waters.

Of course, it doesn't matter to ordinary people that the leader is called 'king', 'head of state', 'chairman' or 'mayor', as long as it can bring them a stable life.

"Our company has more than ten years of experience in using the 'Sea Train', and so far there has not been a single technical accident..."

"The track of the sea train floats below the sea surface, which can avoid the damage of sea waves; at the same time, the special noise made by the train passing the track will make the sea kings subconsciously avoid..."

"The sea train has the ability to resist hurricanes and waves below level 8, as long as it is not extreme weather, it can be unimpeded..."

If the series of professional words made the kings confused, then Mayor Bingshan's next words immediately cheered up everyone!

"It can transport 500 tons of cargo at a time, mainly considering the sea environment—"

"Iceberg King!"

A muscular king knocked on the table, not bothering to care about the other party's title of 'mayor', and directly asked the question he was most concerned about.

"Just tell me how much the sea train costs!"

"..."

Looking at a finger stretched out by Bingshan, the king known for his force frowned.

"A billion Baileys?"

a little expensive...

"no,"

this--

"Ten billion Baileys?"

The other king next to him touched his beard. In this case, even if several countries raise money, it will hurt a bit...

"It's 100 billion Baileys."

? !

"Then why are we discussing! Who can afford such an expensive thing? ——and what if we are robbed by pirates!"

The Muscle King stood up suddenly, ready to leave. But he was immediately pulled back by the long-bearded king next to him.

"Wait, wait, King Luciano. Navy..."

King Longbeard nodded to Roman.

"I haven't made a statement yet, I think we won't make this trip in vain—"

"Right, Lieutenant General 'White Dove' Roman."

"Don't be impatient, everyone."

Roman raised his hand and pressed down.

"Our navy will also invest in the construction of sea trains, so you don't have to worry about Mr. Bingshan's big mouth. ——The sea trains that can withstand hurricane waves of level 8 are worth the price, and at the same time:"

Roman put a piece of metal on the table and made the surrounding kings look at each other. What does this mean?

"King Luciano,"

With a light flick, Roman slid the metal block in front of the opponent.

"Can you bend this piece of metal?"

"Hmph, how difficult is this!"

As a king known for his force, Luciano is the most powerful man in their country, and it is no problem to lift a thousand catties! mere steel——

hard,

? !

Can't move!

blushed,

"Woo--"

Still motionless!

"Huh, I can't break it." The muscle king generously admitted that he couldn't do it, and then asked curiously, "Where is this metal that your navy dug up? It's so strong."

This is not dug out, it is the product of the synthesis of devil fruit ability.

"The sea train made of this metal is not afraid of ordinary sea kings, swords and guns. There is no problem in safety! It can avoid the destruction of pirates."

Don't forget that although the sea train in this world is very similar to the train in the previous life, but:

In fact, sea trains can run without tracks!

The function of the track is mainly to point and drive away the sea kings, even if the track is destroyed, the sea train can move forward. It's just that there are more risks in walking in unexplored sea areas.

But at the speed of the sea train, ordinary pirate ships can only eat ashes... no, eat the waves.

"Everyone, natural conditions and human factors have been ruled out. ——Although the cost of the sea train is indeed high, the return is equally astonishing! If your country's special products can be transported to the South China Sea and the East China Sea, you should be very clear about the profits."

"Ok·····"

Several kings began to whisper to each other, and the staff behind them discussed in a low voice.

And Nami, who stood behind Roman and acted as a secretary, looked at the king who treated each other with gentle words, a man who decided the fate of thousands of people with one word, exuding a strange charm.

But for Roman, being poor means taking care of oneself alone, while being rich means helping the world.

Now that there is no need to worry about safety, we can help the world make some changes.

There is an old saying: If you want to get rich, build roads first.

Standing still and being complacent will only lead to being beaten. Only frequent circulation and trade can make cities, countries, and even the world develop. And the sea train in the capital of seven waters is definitely a technology that can change the 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 pirates:

For example, the Ward brothers, their dream at the beginning was just to travel around the world.

···········

Leaving the world government, navy, and several member countries to discuss the investment ratio and the freight quota of the sea train. As the initiator, Roman took Nami out of the conference room, and Nami behind him thought for a while:

"Roman, do you think that if sea trains become popular, will ships be eliminated..."

"You want to say whether the pirates will be eliminated?"

Roman saw Nami's entanglement at a glance. ——Intellectually, Nami used to hate pirates very much. But emotionally, Nami doesn't want the Straw Hats to lose their foothold.

"Don't worry, this world is so vast. I don't know when the sea train will cover the entire sea."

"Besides, we are not so much a pirate group as an adventurer. ——When did you see Luffy do something that a pirate should do? Don't worry, it won't have any impact on us."

As for one more sentence, Roman didn't say it:

As long as human beings exist, the struggle will never cease. ——It would be better to say that the progress of human beings has always been developed through 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" who hijacked the sea train will appear on this sea...

"Lieutenant General Roman!"

A school official hurried over:

"An accident happened to the Navy Justice!"

? !

Well, it seems that Roman underestimated people in this world.

The 'New Pirate' has appeared!
