From Impel Down to the Multiverse

Skypiea, Birka.

Sea Calendar February 7, 1500.

An air fleet consisting of 12 airships suddenly appeared not far from Birka.

The god Kahn of Birka, after hearing the report of the priest, appeared with a group of guards at the edge of the island cloud on the west side of Birka.

The fleet of 12 airships hovered about 800 meters away. The hidden oppression made the Skypiean very worried.

In fact, Skypiea is not a hidden land of peace and prosperity. Pirate from the Blue Sea is not a small number.

For example, Golden Lion was arrested just last year. His Flying Pirates had visited Skypiea such as Birka and Angel Island before.

The rising ocean currents on Gaya Island, which is nine deaths and still alive, and the air routes of the West Sky Peak, every year many blue sea people enter each Skypiea.

Kahn stared at the fleet nervously, feeling like he was facing Flying Pirates, he hurriedly dispatched priests to negotiate with him.

Just without waiting for the priest to pass by, a team appeared on the airship, Mammon holding a dark scepter, appeared in front of Kahn and the others.

"I am the god Kahn of Birka, who is your excellency? This is the territory of Flying Pirates." Kahn probed and took out a Flying Pirates banner.

Apparently Kahn also knows that foxes are fake.

Of course, Birka is an affiliate of Flying Pirates. It's not a secret, even Angel Island.

It’s just that Golden Lion looks down on Skypiea, which is scarce in resources, as a reserve territory. The core area of ​​Flying Pirates back then was mainly Skypiea above New World and New World.

Skypiea, located above the paradise, is just a dispensable nominal possession.

Especially after Golden Lion escaped from prison, he gave up New World and most of the Skypiea, and has been hiding in the sky above the Calm Belt between the paradise and East Blue, planning the so-called "big plan" ".

"Flying Pirates? haha..." Mammon said shiftingly: "Golden Lion was arrested by Marine last year. It is estimated that there is no way to manage Skypiea."

"What ?!" Kahn turned pale in fright.

Mamen didn't explain anything, he directly touched the island cloud with his scepter, and a large piece of ice crystals formed in an instant, and then dense ice thorns emerged from the ground.

All Skypieans are surrounded by ice thorns. Kahn looks pale: "Nature... is..."

And Enel, who is secretly hidden in the bushes, Shi was also surrounded by sharp ice thorns. He didn't dare to move at all now. If he dared to move now, he would definitely be pierced by the ice thorns.

Mamen knocked on the ground again with his scepter, and immediately all the ice thorns turned into water vapor again.

"Mr. Kahn, I am the Archon Mamen from the Sky Cloud Federation. I am very glad to meet you." After speaking, Mamen knocked on the ground again with his scepter.

A long marble table and two marble chairs were formed immediately in front of him. After he sat down, laughed and said: "Mr. Kahn, please sit down."

gu lu ! Kahn forcibly calmed down, sat on the opposite chair, and then asked: "Mamen your excellency, if there is anything you need to do for you, the old man will do his best."

Kahn’s low profile and wit, Mamen’s smile is even stronger, said with a smile: "I hope Birka can establish a friendly relationship with our Tianyun Federation. This is a specific treaty for the establishment of diplomatic relations. Mr. Kahn can take a look."

After speaking, Mamen handed a document to the other party.

Build a friendly relationship? Kahn seemed to have ten thousand fuck your mother rushing past. In the previous battle, he thought that the so-called Tianyun Federation was here to destroy Birka.

However, Kahn quickly put away his inner complaints and opened the treaty for establishing diplomatic relations.

This treaty contains a lot of content. When summed up, the two sides have equal relations, free trade, mutual recognition of each other’s currency, legal exchanges between the people, approval of tariffs on both sides, extradition, and mutual assistance.

A total of 15 aspects are involved, and it looks very friendly on the surface. For example, one of them allows citizens of Birka to apply for naturalization in the Tianyun Federation, provided that they are voluntary.

Another example, in terms of tariffs, the two sides recognize each other as the most-favored-nation treatment.

For a relatively primordial small society like Birka, they are not aware of some of the hidden pitfalls.

Birka is still half-farming and half-hunting. Its economic system is extremely fragile, and Kahn can’t understand the terrifying suppression of agricultural countries by industrial countries.

After reading a series of terms, the only part that made Kahn a little hesitant was the terms of leasing the White White Sea in the southwest of Birka.

The Tianyun Federation requested to rent the Southwest direction of Birka Island, the barren White White Sea, with an annual rent of 500,000 gold (approximately 500,000 Beli).

Thinking about it again and again, Kahn thought of Mamen’s dismissal just now, and did not dare to offend the other party too much. After all, in his opinion, this treaty was not excessive.

"Mamen your excellency, I agree to sign a treaty of friendship."

Mamen said with a smile: "My friend, I wish the friendship between us, like a day in the sky Like the month, it will remain the same forever."

The two parties signed the "Tianyun-Birka Friendship Treaty" in duplicate in Chinese and Yuewen, which formally established the relationship.

In the evening, Kahn held a special banquet for Mamen and the others in the temple.

Second day, on the White White Sea about 3 kilometers southwest of Birka Island, Mamen informed Lucifer that after the shadow channel was opened, a large amount of water vapor was transported here.

Then release a high concentration of hydrogen N particles to quickly build an island cloud belonging to the Sky Cloud Federation.

Soon an island cloud with an area a little larger than Birka appeared on the southwest side of Birka Island. The distance between the two was less than two kilometers, and a cloud road connected the two places.

This island is named "Sunset Island" because the Skypiea will appear orange-yellow under the sun, just like a sunset.

The residents of Birka Island have also seen the emergence of Sunset Island these days. There is also a lot of Skypiean yearn for something even in dreams. If it were not for the deterrence of Mamen before, it is estimated that they would all take the initiative to snatch it. Up.

Enel has also been secretly observing this group of mysterious persons these days, especially since the other party also has no wings, which gives him a feeling of finding the same kind.

In fact, Skypiean's wings are nothing more than decorations. The reason why Enel does not have wings is because he is an orphan.

On the main street of Birka, five ghost shadow soldiers wearing combat uniforms, in a shop, they posted a job advertisement at the door.

This shop is also one of the official businesses of Tianyun Federation in Birka. It mainly sells food, vegetables, fruits and meat, as well as clothes and some daily necessities.

For the aborigines of Birka with poor resources, their food sources are mainly hunting wild empty fish and empty animals in the White White Sea, or collecting some wild vegetables and fruits.

The market here is also dominated by small-scale farmers. The people will take the extra part of the empty fish caught in the small market for sale.

The entire population of Birka is only about 3,764. Resources determine the upper limit of population development here.

Although the mall of Tianyun Trading Co., Ltd. has been open for almost a week, very few local people come to consume it. It's not that they don't want to buy, but they are shy in their pockets.

As Mamen, who is in charge of the economy of the People's Revolutionary Union, knows the reason. People don't have money and naturally don't buy things. Even more how Tianyun Trading Company's products are traded in silver dollars.

What needs to be done now is to use the method of labor exchange to make the residents of Birka rich so that the products of Tianyun Federation can be sold.

As soon as the recruitment advertisement came out, many Skypiean passing by saw it.

[Recruiting sailors, requires young and strong, no bad habits, able to bear hardships and stand hard work, a monthly salary of 5,000 yuan, five days off each month, successful applicants, 2,000 gold yuan for the settlement...

Recruitment of farm workers, requirements...]

There are always 12 types of positions in the advertisement, and the planned number of recruits will reach about 500.

For Birka, which has a small population, if so many young laborers are sucked away, it will be directly hollowed out.
