Chapter 188: Transactions and Purposes
A banquet was held in the palace of Arubana for Karn, but only three people were seated; Karn, Kobra, and Vivi.
With Kobra's character, after Vivi says that Karn is her friend, even if Karn can't find the mastermind behind the crime in Alabastan, he will treat Karn well.
However, the meat of the Pirate World is really tasty, and the toughness and cooking give Karn a different taste, or he can bring some local delicacies to Betty or Kushina to try.
"Mr. Pente, the method of rain you just mentioned... Is it with dancing powder? If this is the case, then I can only refuse, in Alabastan, dancing powder is explicitly forbidden. ”
Kobra asked tentatively at the banquet, he has used a lot of methods to beg for rain in recent times, but many of them are deceptions, dancing powder is the only thing that can play a role in rainfall, but dancing powder will cause drought in other countries, which will lead to war, and the consequences of this will be more serious than drought.
Therefore, Kobra absolutely does not allow the use of dancing powder in Alabastan.
"That kind of thing is pure deception, and when I say rain, I don't mean anything; Words alone will be weak, so I'll show you, Your Majesty. ”
Karn put down his knife and fork as he finished speaking, and then formed a shadow clone, an ability that dazzled the eyes of everyone in the palace, as if they had never seen this kind of Devil Fruit ability.
The shadow clone directly transformed into a cloud of smoke and flew out of the gate.
Karn smiled and took out a parchment scroll, and said to Kobra with a smile, "King Kobra, it will rain soon, and after you believe it, you can take a look at my charge, this is a friendly price." ”
There was nothing written on the parchment scroll, but when it was handed to Kobra, a series of transactions and fees appeared on it.
For example, if it rains 20 million baileys at a time, a ton of rice is 600,000 baileys, which is equivalent to 300 baileys for one catty of rice, and the price of other staple foods and rice is about the same, and the price between one ton will not exceed 100,000 baileys.
What Alabastan lacks most is water, staple food, and vegetables, which are shipped by merchants and are about 10 percent more expensive than the price Kahn offered.
There is also the price of dealing with pirates, Alabastan only needs to pay half of the bounty amount, and if they choose to report to the navy, it is okay, but the navy usually does not arrive in such a timely manner.
There is also a recovery potion, the effect is first-class even in the pirate world, but Karn has not yet tested the effect, he is going to find a few pirates to try the effect later, if the effect is not as good as in the Marvel world, then say to Kobra that it is out of stock.
As for the super soldier serum Karn, he didn't take it out, and the people in the pirate world are almost all unreasonable, almost all of them have a defense of 1 blood volume of 100,000, and a flintlock pistol can break the defense, and then the blood will flow for a long time and still fight.
He took out a lot of firearms, because when he came to Alabastan, Karn found a few flintlock pistols and tried them, and the power was a real flintlock pistol.
However, there is an upper and lower limit for this thing, and the gun with the highest ceiling in the Pirate World should be the 'No Move' model flintlock pistol, and there is only one in the whole world, in the hands of Ben Beckman; With this gun in his hand, he can order a general of the nature department to raise his hands high.
The rest of the firearms exclude special models, and the reference should be to see the standard flintlock pistols of the major kingdoms and navies.
It can only be said that it is weak!
It's better to have a Gatling in your hands, anyway, ordinary soldiers in the pirate world have this physique with a little training.
However, new firearms are more expensive, an AK costs 10,000 Baileys, Gatling 50,000 Baileys, and the price of weapons such as bazookas varies.
Kobra's face was stunned after reading it, he didn't know many things on it, but there was an explanation of the effect later, and he could understand it; That's the price... His heart ached when he thought about it for a moment.
And one last final commission: 'Resolving the real crisis in Alabastan [Note: It is a secret that Neferutari has guarded for more than 800 years.'" ], the price is 300 million Bailey. ’
Weiwei on the side also poked her head curiously, but after she read the price above, the pair of black child holes were about to pop out.
Then Wei Wei immediately jumped up from her chair, slapped the table in shock and asked, "Mr. Pente, this is too expensive, aren't we?" ”
"Princess Vivi, it is precisely because you are a friend that this price is this, you can ask King Kobra if the price of rice is cheaper than that of Alabastan; As for the rest, I guarantee that Tong Su is not deceived..."
Karn shrugged and said that no sooner had he said this than clouds appeared in Albana, the capital of Alabstan, followed by torrential rain.
The sound of rain poured down like a river in the sky pouring down and about to submerge the whole city; However, after the accumulation of puddles on the ground of Albana, the downpour slowly stopped, and within ten minutes the blue sky and white clouds were restored.
When the rain stopped, Karn smiled and said, "It's free, King Kobra. ”
Cobra was dumbfounded, and then immediately turned to look at Bell, who shook his head; If it rains so much, the dancing powder used can dye the sky green, but there is no sign of dancing powder in the Albana sky just now.
"Mr. Pente, I now fully believe that you have the strength, and some of the above supplies are indeed cheaper than those in Alabastan.... But there are some things I still don't understand, like the guns, the recovery potions, and finally the real crisis. ”
Kobra wiped the sweat from his face that didn't exist, the secret he had guarded for more than eight hundred years, and he had a little guess in his heart, but even Vivi didn't know about it, he didn't dare to confirm that Karn was talking about what he thought.
"That's it, King Kobra, someone has their eye on the Immortal."
Karn saw that there were only six people in the palace, and that three of the palace guards and lieutenants were loyal to Alabastan, so he had no qualms about speaking out.
He can also create weapons that can destroy an island, the strongest star rail gun on an aircraft carrier, with several energy ships, the maximum power can destroy a small satellite hundreds of kilometers, and a few more guns can even collapse and destroy a living planet.
Karn was really not interested in the ancient weapons of Hades, the Celestial King, and the Sea King from hundreds of years ago, and he might as well plan the Ten Tails in comparison.
"It turned out to be this, I understood, understood... 300 million Baileys, it's really not expensive, it's not expensive. ”
King Kobra wiped his sweat, if the matter of Hades spreads, let alone him and Vivi, the whole of Alabastan may be destroyed; Ultra-ancient weapons that can easily destroy an island are the most tempting thing for the most vicious pirates.
This must not be passed on!
Wei Wei suddenly asked curiously, "What is Hades...."
"The matter of Hades must not be spoken, Vivi, if it is said that the whole of Alabastan will be destroyed!"
Kobra said to Vivi with a very solemn face, it was the first time she saw her father show such a look, and she quickly nodded in agreement.
"Don't worry, King Kobra, although the power of Hades is great, I don't look down on that thing; But someone knows that you Neferutari have the whereabouts of the Immortal, and the recent changes in Alabastan are also his fault, if you don't need me..."
Before Karn could finish his words with a smile on his face, he was interrupted by a anxious Kobra and said, "Yes, 300 million Baileys, Alabastan can make it up." ”
This is to save Alabastan with 300 million Baileys, how could Kobra not agree.
However, after Yin Karim on the side heard this, he couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, the palace may not be able to take out so many Baileys..."
"It doesn't matter, in addition to Bailey, you can also mortgage other things, such as I need manpower to build a building, or all kinds of treasures, you can use it to mortgage Bailey."
Karn interjected with a smile, "Actually, the guns on Alabastan can also be considered, at least they can improve the strength of the palace guards a lot, much better than the flintlock pistols and swords you use." ”
"I'll talk about this later, Alabastan will definitely think about it..."
Kobra hurriedly said, it's not that he's stingy, it's really that Alabastan's finances are really not healthy; The lack of rain for the past year, coupled with the crime that has occurred in various places, has always been Cobra's compensation for the loss of the people.
As for the 300 million Baileys paid to Karn, it was up to Kobra to make it up.
Bailey is still very useful in this world, at least there is a chance to buy information and Devil Fruits, some Devil Fruits that are not very important or not included will be auctioned everywhere, if you can only buy some ordinary items, then Karn doesn't want Bailey's waste paper.
Karn nodded and said, "In that case, let's settle this matter first, anyway, without the mastermind behind the scenes, the climate in Alabastan will slowly recover, and it should be able to rain a few times in a year... By the way, King Kobra, please help me prepare a sea tower stone handcuff, otherwise it will be difficult for me to catch him. ”
"Hailou stone handcuffs, although they are very rare, but Alabastan can still .... Wait, Mr. Pent you want the handcuffs to deal with the killers behind the recent drought and crime in Alabastan? ”
Kobra reacted suddenly, and hurriedly asked Karn, not only him, but also Bell and Gaka on the side who were aware of Hailoushi's handcuffs.
This is a handcuff for dealing with Devil Fruit abilities, and in the whole of Alabastan, apart from the two of them, there is only the patron saint of Alabastan, the sand crocodile Klockdahl.
Kobra asked in disbelief, "Mr. Pente, are you saying that the king of the Seven Martial Seas is watching... The murderer behind the scenes? ”
"Of course, but I can't blame you, a powerful person wants to lie to you, and he will believe that he has some truth, but when I get rid of him, you will know what is going on."
Karn said confidently, dealing with a person who would not be domineering with the ability of the Natural Fruit, it was still a rustling fruit; Karn had many ways to deal with Klockdahl, and the reason why he wanted the sea-building stone handcuffs was because he didn't need to lock Klockdahl in the sea for future research.
Once the king had been captured alive, Karn was to study the Devil Fruit's abilities on him.
