One Piece: God of Space

Chapter 385 Things between the two countries

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

After entering the country of Alabasta, what you see here has changed greatly from the original plot.

At least these areas near the coastline have all been covered by big trees and green shades. Those dusty and sandy areas, at least in these areas near the coastline of Alabasta, are simply impossible to reappear.

"Weiwei, where do you plan to disembark?"

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

"Is Weiwei leaving?"

Chopper, the new member who had just joined, was in a furry state. He was lying in the shade all hot, 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 now arrived in the country of Alabasta, so he will definitely get off the ship next."

At this time, Sanji brought another drink similar to watermelon juice, walked up to Chopper and handed it to him, and then said leisurely.

"Luffy, please 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 country of Alabasta, Weiwei has almost stopped talking about other matters in the country along the way, but now she brings it up again.

After all, they had been sailing for nearly a month, and they almost understood each other as companions, so it was only at this time that she brought it up again.

Luffy, who was already extremely hot, suddenly froze when he heard Weiwei say such words.

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

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

Robin, who had been sitting there, put down the book in his hand and asked.

"you say!"

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

"This? I was still young at that time, so I wasn't particularly impressed by these things."

After hearing what Vivi said, Robin stood up directly and stared at Luffy and Zoro.

"Let's not talk about what it was like to be Princess Vivi of Alabasta before the True Empire came eight years ago. Do you still remember what it was like, but let me tell you now."

Robin changed from his usual calmness and had a serious expression on his face, which even a few others were a little shocked by.

Immediately afterwards, Robin once again said, "In Alabasta eight years ago, the people of this country were almost living in dire straits. Not to mention having better places to live like today, Alabasta was full of The entire area is desert, and even drinking water is a relatively difficult task.

Countless people starve to death every day. It is precisely because of this that Emperor Tru came to this country eight years ago and reached and signed an agreement with King Kobra of Alabasta.

The content of the agreement includes that the country of Alabasta will provide land free of charge for the Tru Empire to build factories. To this end, the Tru Empire needs to solve the problem 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 infrastructure facilities, including environmental restoration, basic road construction, seawater desalination projects, etc.

However, the agreement between the Tru Empire and 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 actual equivalent tax amount will be deducted from the basis of the Alabasta country. Project construction costs and tax fees are carried out every year in accordance with Alabasta national tax standards, which is a 5% tax system.

Until now, the Tru Empire has built more than 250 factories in Alabasta, built more than 27,000 kilometers of infrastructure roads, and desalination projects have allowed people across the country to freely enjoy water resources. Supporting facilities and environmental restoration issues have turned the endless desert into an oasis.

It's just that you members of the Alabasta royal family are jealous of the industries and commerce of the Tru Empire today, that's why you made such a request.

Let alone our group of pirates today, what do you think Luffy and the others can do against the Tohru 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 your royal family members want? "

Facing 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 question, but it was this question that instantly caused Weiwei's image in other people's hearts to collapse.

"Is it possible that what Robin said is true?"

Chopper asked curiously.

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

Even Nami couldn't help but ask.

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

Weiwei roared loudly.

"Whether it's true or not, we'll find out if we go over there and take a look. Anyway, they've already arrived in the country of Alabasta. Let them feel the atmosphere of this country firsthand. I'm afraid no matter how much you talk about it, it will be more useful."

Robin restrained his emotions and said with the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

"That's right, let's go over and take a look." 𝔣𝖗𝖊𝖊𝖜𝔢𝔟𝔫𝔬𝖛𝖊𝔩.𝖈𝖔𝔪

Usopp said with a laugh.

"Weiwei, we have been partners along the way. If this country is really what you said, I will definitely help you without any hesitation, no matter how powerful the other party is."

Luffy said with a serious expression, then turned around and sat on his sheep's head, looking towards the sea in the distance.

Everything cannot be decided by just one word from the person in front of them. Although Luffy usually has a carefree personality, he can handle many detailed matters quite well.
