Chapter 163: Lack of money

Although they said that they were going to go, under Rod's suggestion, Luffy and the others still spent a lot of Bailey to renovate the Golden Merry at Rape Flower Port.

Today's Alabastan is not what it used to be.

The drought has been solved, the sea has been cleared, more and more merchants and talents have come and gone, and more than one professional shipyard has been built these days.

Maybe it's not as good as the City of Seven Waters, but it's still relatively simple to just renovate the Golden Merry.

With Rhodes' face, these boatmen of course used the best materials and the fastest efficiency to refurbish the Merry, and gave Luffy and others a very affordable price.

"Goodbye!"

On the almost brand new Merry, Luffy, Nami and the others waved goodbye to Rhodes and Sabo, and quickly sailed into the distance.

Wait for the Merry to disappear from sight.

Sabo slowly retracted his gaze, was silent for a while, and sighed lightly for a long time:

"You say, shouldn't I let Ace chase Blackbeard?"

He is not Luffy, he is a high-ranking member of the Revolutionary Army, the future Chief of the General Staff, not to mention the situation at sea, he can also be said to know very well, Blackbeard is definitely a very, very dangerous character.

"Can you stop it?"

Rod shook his head lightly.

Ace's will is so strong, it is not at all something that outsiders can influence.

"Yes."

Sabo was stunned when he heard this, and then shook his head and said, "Forget it, anyway, with Ace's strength, there are really not many people in this sea who can keep him." ”

Having said that, Sabo didn't know why, and there was always some apprehension in his heart.

"Don't talk about that, won't you take me to see your territory?"

"Hmm."

……

More than a dozen days later.

"I didn't expect you to be so good at governance." Sabo said, looking a little amazed.

These days, they visit Alabastan, and what they see and hear is thriving, which is very different from the previous desert country.

"I'm just mentioning a few words, what really develops this country is the joint efforts of the royal family and countless citizens." Rod said.

"Neferutari royalty? One of the original twenty kings, but he did not go along with the Tianlong people, and he was indeed worthy of respect. Saab is colorful.

The ideal of the revolutionary army is to overthrow the world government and overthrow the self-proclaimed gods of the Draconians, but it is not too extreme to overthrow all the nobles.

"Nicole Robin is here."

The two chatted a few more words, and Sabo suddenly spoke.

"Hmm."

Rod nodded slightly, he couldn't hide it from the revolutionary army in this regard, and he didn't want to hide it.

"The organization originally wanted Nicole Robin to go to the headquarters, which is the safest ......"

Sabo smiled and said: "But then you killed the leader Qingjiao, after Megatron, the people who said these words stopped thinking, and a few days ago you killed the captain of the ninth team of CP0, and no one talked about it again." ”

Rod also smiled, sure enough, strength is the best persuasion.

While the two were chatting, they also slowly came to a more secret place in the royal capital.

"What is this?" Sabo was slightly stunned.

"Just go in and see."

Rod said, walking forward first.

As far as the eye can see, it is a research institute with a fairly complete system.

It was originally a research institute to study how to effectively use dancing powder to lift Alabastan out of drought, but it was gradually transformed into a research institute at the suggestion of Rhodes.

There are many scientists from Alabastan.

The results of the research ...... Not yet.

Robin was wearing a standard secretary dress at this time, and his slender and straight legs looked particularly eye-catching against the black silk.

Almost instantly, Rhodes locked on to her from the crowd of figures in the institute.

Feeling Rod's gaze, Robin raised his eyebrows slightly, and then apologized, and walked quickly towards Rod's side.

Looking at the somewhat hateful and leisurely figure, Robin thought about it, and found that he couldn't beat it, so he couldn't resist the urge to throw all the documents over, and said expressionlessly:

"As you can see, the institute is in dire need of funds, talents, and equipment, and it is still just an empty shell."

"I can understand the lack of talent and equipment, why is there a shortage of funds?"

Rod was surprised.

Backed by a big country like Alabastan, there will still be a shortage of funds?

“……”

Looking at Rod's natural look, Robin couldn't help but show an expression of "I don't know how expensive tea, rice, oil, and salt are not at home", and sighed lightly:

"Weiwei is already very supportive, but Alabastan is in ruins, and all aspects need money, and the gap is too big."

Hearing this, Rod couldn't help but look at Sabo.

"Ahem."

Sabo smiled dryly, and looked in other directions.

Although the revolutionary army was very powerful and rich, the stalls spread out were too large, and the daily expenses were astronomical.

"It's a pity that this is a great passage after all, otherwise you can let the country of flowers support you."

Seeing this, Rod shook his head and muttered softly to himself.

It is still very necessary to climb science and technology farming, not to mention whether it can help him in the future, and it is also very good to improve the quality of life.

"Lack of money......

Rod touched his chin and muttered, "Go grab the Golden Emperor?" ”

When it comes to money, the first thing he thinks of is this super fat sheep, this guy estimates that any wool plucked down is enough for these scientific research projects to be launched immediately.

runs the largest bank in the New World, runs the world's largest entertainment city, and is still a superhuman golden fruit ability, and is definitely the No. 1 big fat sheep in the sky.

"But this guy probably can't beat it."

Rod scratched his head a little.

He couldn't even cope with Ace, and in the face of the Golden Emperor with the level of awakening, he was still on his home field, and he was really hanging.

Even if gold is an excellent conductor and is restrained by thunder, it is still hanging, after all, it is a big force, and it can call for support from the world government at any time.

Seeing that Rod didn't speak for a long time, Sabo was also a little bored, he looked into the distance and whispered, "I don't know where Luffy is now." ”

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.

A glint flashed in Rod's eyes, "Maybe you can go to the Sky Island to have a look!" ”

"Sky Island?"

Sabo was slightly stunned, "Does this place really exist?" ”

"Of course it is, and it is said that there is also a golden city of Chandora, if it can be found, the problem of funding will be solved."

Robin brushed the hair in front of his forehead.

She is O'Hara's Doctor of Archaeology, and of course she is clear about the existence of Sky Island.

"But boss, do you know where it is?"

Robin looked at Rod inexplicably with a hint of the examination in his beautiful eyes.

"Is there anything I don't know?"

Rod asked calmly.

Robin was choked and really didn't know how to refute it.

"I'm not going."

Seeing that the two of them seemed to have some signs, Sabo said goodbye very interestingly,

"I'm going back to headquarters."

After saying that, he dodged a few times and quickly disappeared.

"So, what about you, Robin?"

Rod looked at her with a smile.

Robin's face was calm, his hands were clasped to his chest, and his beautiful eyes gleamed with determination.

She would rather die of curiosity, busy until late at night every day, with her hairline rising, and never go out with this unscrupulous boss.

"I heard that there is a historical text on it......"

Robin immediately changed his face and said solemnly:

"Please take me with you." I want to talk about "Pirates' Super God Talent" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
