Chapter 447: A Deal with Kobra
"System, what time is it?" Xuan Mo asked, since the system has been integrated with the demon system, then this information should still be known.
And this little thing is not a violation of the trial.
Sure enough, the system responded.
"The year 1517 of the sea calendar."
Xuan Mo rubbed his smooth chin, at this time, Klockdahl should have arrived in Alabastan, and there are still three or four years that is the time for Luffy to go to sea, well...
With a plan in mind, he picked a direction at random, and Xuan Mo suddenly rose from the ground.
Even if the ability to fly is gone, he will be able to travel long distances in a short time by relying on his physical body.
Albana... The capital of the Kingdom of Alabastan.
In the palace, King Neferutali Kobra sat behind his desk, looking at the handsome man who suddenly appeared in front of him with a calm face, but he was actually panicked.
After a pause for two seconds, Kobra couldn't help but hold his forehead, I really don't know what they have to attract in Alabastan, the land is almost all sand, but just like this, two years ago, a sea thief suddenly settled in.
Sha Klockdahl, if it weren't for the fact that the other party was awarded the title of the Seven Martial Seas of His Majesty, and he couldn't interfere in the internal affairs of the world government, he was afraid that he would have been unable to sit still for a long time.
However, even so, he had trouble sleeping for a while.
After all, after so many years of consumption with the world government, their Neferutali family has no background.
And now, as his royal palace in Alabastan, a person sneaked in unknowingly and appeared in front of him, and the guards could see how backward Alabastan was before they noticed it.
But... The other party doesn't seem to have malicious intent.
"What does King Kobra think?" Xuan Mo looked at Kobra in front of him with a faint smile.
"How can I trust you?" Kobra had a headache, but in his heart, he already believed most of what the other party said.
It turned out that Klockdahl had the idea to fight that.
"I don't have to lie, do I, and... My conditions are not harmful to you, to Alabastan, and recognizing my identity can even bring you benefits. Xuan Mo was calm.
"But—" Kobra hesitated, "I recommend you to go to the Navy, if you have any plans, and something goes wrong, the World Government won't believe that it has nothing to do with Alabastan."
And... What can you bring to Alabastan? If it were only a threat, I would not give in, and I am the king of Alabastan anyway. ”
Xuan Mo raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect this Kobra to be quite backbone, but the other party's brain hole is also quite big.
I found a place to sit down, and under Kobra's gaze, Xuan Mo opened his mouth and said, "First, as a member of the World Government, or Alabastan, the blood sent to the navy, Kobra, do you say that the navy will be directly reused?" Aside from the test, it's good not to be watched.
So you don't have to worry about that at all. ”
Xuan Mo's merciless revelation made Dekoubra smile wryly, yes... The World Government, or the Draconians, have suppressed them for too long.
"Second, I wonder if the condition of making Alabastan rich is enough to impress King Kobra?"
Kobra's eyes froze, "What do you want to do?" ”
It was his lifelong dream to make Alabastan prosperous, and it was also the dream of his father's generation, and their family had been working hard for it, but...
"Alabastan sits on a large area of land, but unfortunately more than 90% of it is desert, resources are scarce, even if the world government does not suppress you, it will be very difficult to develop."
Kobra's face grew bitter.
"Deserts make resources barren, but what if the desert is replaced with an oasis? All questions... Isn't it all unraveled? ”
"Impossible!"
Kobra said with a sigh of relief.
"If you can't do it, it doesn't mean I can't do it, knowledge is power, Vegapunk can use knowledge to change a country of ice and snow, so why can't Alabastan become a country full of life?"
"But you're not Vegapunk." Cobra points to a fact.
Xuan Mo smiled noncommittally, "My earth is not Vegapunk, but I have a much larger knowledge reserve than him. Xuan Mo nodded his head.
Kobra's eyes were full of disbelief.
"Ugh." Xuan Mo sighed lightly, "I know that you don't believe it so easily, but you will believe it in the future, but for now, in order to calm your heart, I will say the most direct way, the Devil Fruit knows, right?" ”
Kobra nodded, how could he not know the secret treasure of the sea.
"There are many types of Devil Fruits, and there are various abilities, and the vast majority of people use the abilities of Devil Fruits for combat, but have you ever thought about how much energy you can exert if you use this peculiar ability in industry and in national construction?"
Kobra's pupils shrank, his mouth opened, and he couldn't close it with a half-thud.
He was really stunned by Xuan Mo's idea, but after thinking about it, if it could really be realized...
"Whew~" Kobra exhaled, looking a little lonely, "However, the Devil Fruit is not so easy to get." ”
Speaking of this, Kobra's face was slightly red, and he was very embarrassed, there were at least 100 million Baileys of Devil Fruits on the market.
But the problem is, there's no way he could spend 100 million Baileys on a Devil Fruit.
Yes, 100 million Baileys, a huge sum of money for the current Alabastan.
This amount of money is unimaginably large for an ordinary person, but for some of the rich, 100 million Baileys is not much, but it is not much.
But if a country can't come up with 100 million Baileys, just...
A resentment rose in Kobra's heart, if it weren't for the suppression of the world government... Alabastan will not fall so far as not to be able to take even 100 million Baileys.
But thinking of that behemoth, Kobra was discouraged again, to put it bluntly, it was still he, the king, who was incapable of making his people rich.
Alabastan wasn't just a desert in the beginning...
"You don't have to worry about the Devil Fruit, I know everything about Alabastan, even better than you, the king, and I don't have anything I can see.
You just need to assign me an identity and let me recommend it, and all of the above will come true, and Kobra you can witness it all with your own eyes, and it will take a little time. ”
Under Xuan Mo's slightly inducing words, Kobra's eyes became more and more determined, yes... What is there in Alabastan that is worthy of the other party's plot, that kind of strength, which is completely capable of destroying the Nafirutali royal family without knowing it.
A country that can't even take out 100 million Baileys is even worthy of such a strong man's plot?
However, the words that he witnessed the changes in Alabastan made a fire of hope ignite in his heart.
Since you can't do it yourself, what can you do by borrowing someone else's hand?
As long as he can make Alabastan better, then he is a Ming Jun, and the other party is a well-deserved hero of Alabastan!
The world government... It's time for him to do something, too.
