The Paper Fruit Among the Pirates

  Chapter 271 Sea Train Connects the World

   "Hee hee hee~~ Go on, orangutan!"

  On the stable ‘Four Seasons Islands’, Luffy sat on the long-armed bear and galloped along with Billy the golden discharge duck beside him.

  Luffy, as a ‘beast trainer’, is volunteering to tame the strengthened beasts on the island to prevent them from attacking the people on the island. Of course, Luffy has always only one trick:

beat!

  If you are not convinced after the fight, continue to fight if you are not satisfied!

  Audited Beasts: Take it and take it~~~

  "From the remaining images and text, it should be a branch of the Imer civilization four hundred years ago..."

  While Robin is studying the ruins on the island around, Frankie and Brook are guest bodyguards. —Because Robin’s abilities are not very useful to those rough-skinned behemoths.

  "This windmill can help you lift water and polish noodles, and can greatly save manpower..."

   "Thank you, thank you Master Usopp!"

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

  A sniper with an upturned nose;

  "I have helped you remove the toxins in your body, so you can cultivate quietly..."

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

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

  The little reindeer twisted and twisted;

   "These two guys,"

   Bringing a nutritious rehabilitation meal over, Sanji impatiently put it in front of Sauron.

"eat!"

  ? !

   Sauron, wrapped in a bandage, was holding a huge rock while doing rehabilitation exercises, looking at Sanji with a gloomy expression on his face. Hesitate to accept this ‘food of the coming’, after a second:

  It smells so good!

  After defeating the Golden Lion, this island was designated as Roman’s ‘private territory’.

  Don’t think this is any kind of slavery—the civilians on the island can’t even ask for it. If any village or town in this world does not have a strong presence or join a big power, it will immediately become a paradise for pirates.

  The injured Straw Hat group members are training here while carrying out their own adventures.

  Only poor Nami was dragged by Roman and kept busy:

  ———

  The Holy Land Mary Gioia,

   "Hahahaha, our'white pigeon' general is here~~"

   "·····Teacher, please stop teasing me."

   Facing Karp's molesting, Roman reluctantly rolled his eyes. Since the'caught' to the Golden Lion, Roman's rank has increased by one level, and now he is Lieutenant General Roman. The navy defaults to being an alternate general, and the name "white dove" is justified.

It was frantically touted by the major newspapers as the “Pillar of the Future of the Navy”, “The youngest lieutenant in 800 years”, “The name of the general is just around the corner,” and the marshal’s throne is not a problem. It reminds Roman of his past life. Five Emperors...

  If it weren't for Roman and Morgans to have no enemies, he would suspect that the birdman was killing himself.

   "Lieutenant General Roman, we meet for the first time."

  Kapu, as the famous navy old fried dough stick and Roman teacher, of course can make fun of Roman at will. Others would not be so ignorant:

  At least the mayor of the city of seven waters, Bingshan, stood up and seriously extended his right hand to Roman.

   "Mayor Bingshan, you are welcome."

  The calm and steady iceberg can say "the first meeting" without changing his face, but behind him, Barry, the vice president of Carrera, has a shocked look on his face, making people know that there is a ghost at first glance.

   "Ahem, Barry."

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

   "I know you admire Lieutenant General Roman very much, but stay a little bit restrained in such a serious occasion."

   "Ah, ah? Oh..."

  I adore a ghost! Isn't this the staff of the Straw Hat Regiment? How come it didn't take long to become a lieutenant admiral? And the secretary behind... is definitely the navigator of the Straw Hat regiment, is he also a navy colonel?

  This world is too crazy, the cat will be the mouse’s bridesmaid!

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

  ? !

  You are a big guy with a beard and a beard. In front of me, a young man who has only put on a navy coat for less than a year, what the **** have you admired since childhood?

  Roman can't complain about it, but fortunately, the old fritters are all present, so they don't know why. Of course: Except for a certain silver-haired old man with a smug smile, looking at his appearance, I can't wait to write "Luffy is my grandson" on his face.

   "Then, the meeting on the proposal for the construction of the second and third ‘Sea Train’ will begin now."

  Since the opening of the trade of the multi-party joint shipping giant "Navy Justice" (don’t ask, it’s nominated by Marshal Akadog), the distribution of supplies 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 sea areas. If they can be transported out, it will immediately be tens of hundreds of times the profit! but:

  Transportation on the great route has always been a big problem. With strong winds and waves, pirates everywhere, and sea beasts, it is normal when the ship and cargo are gone. Moreover, the carrying capacity of general merchant ships is also very problematic, which makes countries on great routes unable to enjoy the dividends of joint shipping!

  Can this be tolerated? no way!

   "So today we sit here and solve this problem."

  There are retired Lieutenant General Karp and Lieutenant General Crane, and Roman talks with the kings around the round table.

  "The solution is the ‘sea train’. With this tool, we can connect the islands in series and easily gather the goods in one place.-Then I would like to ask Mr. Bingshan from the Capital of Seven Waters to explain to you."

   "Everyone,"

  Although Bingberg is just a ‘mayor’, to be honest, the difference between him and ‘king’ is just a change of title.

The Carrera Company controlled by Iceberg is the economic lifeline of the entire Seven Waters City and the largest job provider. At the same time, the shipyard's shipmen also work part-time in the city's armed forces. Among them, tens of millions of bounty-level foremen are the'captain' '.

  It can be said that the vast majority of ordinary people in the Capital of Seven Waters cannot live without three things in their lives: birth, joining Carrera, and death. —Even if you are not directly involved in Carrera, you are still engaged in related service and outsourcing industries. Roman can't help but complain:

  Isn’t this the Samsung consortium from the previous life stick!

  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, in fact, 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 ‘Sea Train’, 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 destruction of sea waves; at the same time, the special noise of 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, and it can flow unimpeded as long as it is not in extreme weather..."

  If this large series of professional words made the kings uncomprehensible, then the next paragraph of Mayor Bingshan immediately refreshed everyone's spirits!

  "The ability to transport 500 tons of goods at a time, mainly considering the marine environment—"

   "The Iceberg King!"

  A muscular king knocked on the table, too lazy to care about the other's title of ‘mayor’, and directly asked the most concerned question.

   "Just tell me what the cost of a sea train is!"

  "·······"

  Looking at Bingberg’s outstretched finger, the king who is known for his force frowned.

  "Billion Baileys?"

  A little expensive...

"no,"

This-

   "Ten billion Baileys?"

  The other king next to him touched his beard, so it hurts even if a few countries raise money...

   "It's 100 billion Baileys."

  ? !

   "Then what else are we discussing! Who can afford such an expensive thing?-And what if you encounter a pirate robbery!"

  The muscle king suddenly got up, ready to go. However, he was immediately caught by the King Longbeard next to him.

  "Wait, wait, King Luciano. Navy..."

  King Longbeard nodded to Roman.

   "I haven't stated our position yet, I think it won't let us go for nothing—"

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

  "Be safe, everyone."

  Roman raised his hand and pressed it down.

  "Our navy will also invest in the construction of sea trains, so you don’t have to worry about Mr. Bingshan’s big opening. — Sea trains that can withstand Class 8 hurricane waves are worth this price.

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

   "King Luciano,"

  Roman flicked it lightly and slid the metal block in front of the opponent.

  "Can you bend this piece of metal?"

   "Huh, how difficult is this!"

  As a king known for his force, Luciano is the number one powerhouse in their country. District Iron and Steel—

  Strong,

  ? !

  Don’t move!

   flushed,

   "Woo—"

  Still motionless!

   "Huh, I can't move." The Muscle King generously admitted that he couldn't do it, and then asked curiously, "This is the metal your navy dug from there? It's so strong."

  This is not dug out, it is a product of the ability of the Devil Fruit.

  "The sea train made of this metal is not afraid of ordinary sea kings, swords and guns, and 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, it can run without a rail sea train!

  The role of the track is mainly to point and drive 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 waters.

  At the speed of the sea train, the average pirate ship only eats ashes... No, it eats the waves.

  "Everyone, natural conditions and human factors have been discharged. Although the cost of the sea train is indeed high, the return is also amazing! 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 profit."

"Um·····"

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

  Nami, who was standing behind Roman and acting as a secretary, watched the king treat each other gently, and the man who decided the fate of thousands of people with one word exuded a strange charm.

  For Roman, being poor means being alone, and being rich means helping the world.

  Now that security is no longer worrying, it can help the world make some changes.

  The old saying goes well: If you want to be rich, you must first build roads.

  Stopping on its own feet will only lag behind and be beaten. Only frequent circulation and trade can allow cities, countries, and even the world to develop. And the sea train in the City of Seven Waters is definitely a technology that can change the world!

  As long as there is no obstruction between the various islands, people can communicate with each other, and many countries that have been turned into ruins can avoid the tragedy of destruction. And many people don’t need to be reduced to pirates:

  For example, the Wald brothers, their first dream was to travel the world.

  ············

  Leave the world government, navy, and several participating countries to discuss the investment ratio and the freight quota of sea trains. As the initiator, Roman took Nami and left the meeting room, and Nami behind him thought for a while:

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

   "Are you trying to say whether the pirates will be eliminated?"

  Roman saw Nami's entanglement at a glance. — Intellectually, Nami used to hate pirates. But emotionally, Nami didn't want the straw hat group to lose a foothold.

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

   "Furthermore, we are not so much a pirate group as an adventurer. — When did you see Luffy doing something a pirate should do? Peace of mind, it won't affect us in any way."

  As for one more sentence, Roman did not say it:

  As long as human beings still exist, the struggle will never stop. -Rather, the progress of mankind has been developed in struggle. If there is no competition, what is the difference between humans and salted fish?

  It may not be long before the "New Pirate" who hijacked the sea train will appear on this sea...

   "Lieutenant General Roman!"

  A school officer hurried over:

   "There is something wrong with the Navy Justice!"

  ? !

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

  The "New Pirate" has appeared!
