Pirate: God of Space

Chapter 385 The matter between the two countries

The only thing that surprised them was the country of Alabasta they came to this time. As soon as they came in, everyone felt a huge difference.

After entering the territory of Alabasta, the scene here has changed a lot from the original plot.

At least these places close to the coastline are all covered by big trees and green shade, and the dusty and sandy conditions, at least in these areas near the coastline in Alabasta today, are simply impossible to appear again.

"Vivi, where are you going to disembark from?"

On the Meili, Nami came out after washing her hair, wearing a bikini suit, and asked Weiwei who was sitting on the deck drinking a drink.

"Is Vivi leaving?"

The new member Chopper, who just joined, was in a furry state, lying in the shade in the heat, panting heavily, and sticking out his long tongue, but after hearing these words, he sat up and looked at Nami and asked road.

"Weiwei is the princess of the country of Alabasta. We have already arrived in the country of Alabasta, so he must get off the ship next."

At this time, Sanji took another glass of watermelon juice-like drink, walked up to Chopper and handed it to him, then said leisurely.

"Luffy, stop thinking about it and help me! This country is not as happy as it seems on the surface! I beg you, please help me!"

Now that they have arrived in the territory of the country of Alabasta, Weiwei has almost no other things about the country along the way, but now it is brought up again.

After all, they had sailed for nearly a month along the way, and they almost understood each other as companions, so she brought it up again at this time.

Lu Fei, who was already extremely hot, immediately froze the expression on his face after hearing Wei Wei's words.

Sanji and Zoro came here at the same time, looking at their own captain with a little worry in their eyes, and even Nami stopped what she was doing and stopped talking.

"Princess Weiwei, since you have raised such a question again, I would like to ask you a question, is that okay?"

Robin, who had been sitting there, put down the book in his hand and opened his mouth to ask.

"you say!"

"What was Alabasta like before the Tru Empire came?"

"This? I was still young at that time, and I didn't have a deep impression on these things."

Hearing what Weiwei said, Robin stood up directly, and also stared at Luffy and Zoro.

"Let's not talk about being the princess of Alabasta, Weiwei. I still don't remember what it was like before the Telu Empire came eight years ago, but let me tell you now."

As soon as Robin changed from his usual calmness, a serious expression appeared on his face, and even several other people were a little shocked by it.

Immediately afterwards, Robin said again, "In Alabasta eight years ago, the people of this country were almost living in dire straits, not to mention that they could have better living places like today. All of them are desert areas, and even drinking water is a relatively difficult thing.

Countless people starve to death every day, and it is precisely because of this that King Truu came to this country eight years ago and reached and signed an agreement with King Cobra of Alabasta.

The content of the agreement includes that the state of Alabasta provides land free of charge for the construction of factories by the Tru Empire. For this reason, the Tru Empire needs to solve the problems of survival and employment of the people of Alabasta.

At the same time, additional conditions were attached. In the country of Alabasta, the Tru Empire paid for the construction of basic engineering facilities, including environmental restoration, basic road construction, and seawater desalination projects.

However, the agreement on the side of the Tru Empire is that within five years, the Alabasta country shall not collect taxes from any industry and commerce in the Tru Empire, and after five years, the basis of the Alabasta country will be deducted according to the actual equivalent tax amount. Construction costs and taxation fees are carried out annually in accordance with Alabasta's national taxation standards, which are carried out for each 5% taxation system.

Until now, the Tru Empire has built more than 250 factories in Alabasta, and the construction of infrastructure roads has reached more than 7000 kilometers. The seawater desalination project has allowed the people of the country to freely enjoy water resources and restore the environment. The problem is that the endless desert is now an oasis.

It is nothing more than that members of the Alabasta royal family are jealous of the industries and businesses of the Tru Empire today, so you made such a request.

Let alone our group of pirates today, what do you think Luffy and the others will use to fight against the Tru Empire?Just relying on their strength, don't tell me, you don't know how powerful the Tru Empire is today?
The people of this country are all living and working in peace and contentment now, what do you royal family members want? "

Faced with Robin's questions, Weiwei, who was kneeling on the ground, didn't know what kind of words to respond to.

"how do you know?"

In the end, all the words could only be turned into this one question, but it was this one question that instantly collapsed Weiwei's image in the hearts of others.

"Could it be true what Robin said?"

Chopper asked curiously.

"That's right, Weiwei, what's going on?"

Even Nami couldn't help asking.

"She lied to you. We thought so at the beginning, but now this country has become a colony of the Tru Empire, and the lives of the people are even more miserable."

Vivi roared loudly.

"Whether it's true or not, we'll know if we go to see it. Anyway, they have already arrived in Alabasta. Let them experience the atmosphere of this country. I'm afraid it will be more useful than what you said."

Robin calmed down his emotions, and said with a slightly raised corner of his mouth.

"That's right, let's go and see if it's okay."

Usopp laughed.

"Weiwei, along the way, we are also partners. If this country is really like what you said, I will definitely help you, no matter how powerful the other party is."

Lu Fei said something with a serious expression, then turned around and walked to sit there on his sheep's head, his eyes began to look towards the distant sea.

It is true that their future cannot be determined by just a single word from the person in front of them. Although Lu Fei is usually a carefree character, he can handle many detailed matters quite well.
