Although Sean showed Zhide his moves, which made Cobra very excited.
But in the end, an inevitable problem emerged.
That is...
Bailey!!
Alabasta is too poor, just after Tokaf Company completed the design of the super auction house and gave the final bid.
Cobra was a little dumbfounded.
A BILLION BELI!!!
The construction cost of a super auction house alone makes Kobra unable to bear it.
Because the funds currently used in Alabasta’s treasury are not even one billion, how should this be rectified?
Not to mention, there are also a large number of supporting projects planned, including highways from Eruma to Yuba, and from Yuba to Yudi, Yudi and the royal capital Albana, and highways between Yudi and Albana.
In between, there is the bridge across the Santa Dora River.
This should be coupled with the development of tourism in various cities. After a slight estimate, it will require an investment of at least 30 billion beli.
And this is just the initial investment...
If we really want to complete all the projects and completely boost Alabasta's economy like Sean said, it will probably cost hundreds of billions of beli.
I really can't afford it...
However, Cobra can’t afford it, but Sean can afford it!!
Isn’t it just the initial 30 billion?
What a joke!
Of course, Sean can give this money, but he can’t give it in vain!
The highway has tolls, and the fees will be used to repay Alabasta's debt to Sean until it is paid off.
As for other investments, Sean asked for dividends.
According to Sean's own calculations, once the plan is successful, relying on Alabasta, he can receive at least 30 billion in beli income every year.
Although there is a lot of gold in Sky Island, it will eventually be used up one day.
After investing in Alabasta, the subsequent income is permanent.
In fact, Sean even took the initiative to propose more investment plans to Cobra.
What is Alabasta’s greatest advantage?
Of course it’s the population!
A population of more than 20 million!
The most important thing is that because of poverty in Alabasta, most of the more than 20 million people are poor.
Then, make full use of this condition and actively transform unfavorable factors into favorable factors.
Let’s engage in manufacturing!
As for what to build, Sean also has an idea, let’s build a car!!
Tell Leitus about the concept of the car, I believe they will be able to come up with it soon.
Sean is very confident in the scientific research capabilities of Leites and others.
A complete automobile-related industrial system has been established, and Alabasta will not be poor even if it wants to be poor in the future.
And Sean himself can also obtain very terrifying long-term returns from this investment.
This is definitely a surprise for Kobra.
Originally, he thought that after Sean invested in these, he would ask for at least 80% or even 90% of the profits, and Cobra himself had already made preparations. As long as Alabasta could be fully developed, even if
Sean really wanted 90% of the profit, and he agreed.
After all, Alabasta didn't pay a cent, so even if 90% of the profits were taken away, there would be nothing to complain about, right?
Unexpectedly, Sean only asked for half of it!
This surprised and excited Cobra.
Surprisingly, Sean only wanted so little. What was exciting was that in this way, he would be able to obtain more funds every year to continue developing Alabasta, thus putting the development of the entire kingdom into a virtuous cycle.
What's there to hesitate about?
The two sides hit it off again and signed a large number of agreements!
------
Just when Kobra and Sean were preparing to do something special.
Three cruisers commanded by Kaku
, after killing 7 pirate groups along the way and capturing 3 pirates with abilities, they finally arrived outside the Devil's Triangle.
Here, it is covered by strange thick fog all year round. Once you enter, the visibility is only a few meters.
According to records, the number of ships lost here every year reaches three figures.
Known by many as one of the most dangerous and bizarre areas in the first half of the Grand Line.
In the bridge of one of the cruisers, Kaku frowned slightly as he looked at the strange area ahead.
In fact, it is not troublesome for him to solve Moria, but...
Before setting off, Sean had given him a piece of information about the abilities of one of Moria's cadres. She was the most troublesome existence.
Perona eats the superhuman ghost fruit!
According to intelligence, ghost fruits can release spiritual bodies. Once contacted by these spiritual bodies, they will immediately lose their combat effectiveness and become extremely weak.
And this negative state will last for several minutes.
During this period, the victim will lose all combat effectiveness and will have no defense.
What does this mean?
This means that after being hit, the enemy can easily kill you.
Even if...
The enemy is ten or twenty times weaker than you, or even more!
However, the ghost fruit also has a drawback, that is, the spirit body it creates is not invisible, and its speed is not fast.
Therefore, anyone with a little bit of strength can completely avoid it.
However, this shortcoming is eliminated to the greatest extent in the Devil's Triangle.
The visibility is only a few meters, which will minimize the reaction time. Even if Kaku has awakened the color of sight and hearing, it is also unknown whether he can perceive the spirit body through the color of sight and hearing.
However, there are ten squadrons and a total of 480 sailors on the three cruisers.
Unless the spirit body can defeat all the navy soldiers in a short period of time, Kaku will not be too worried.
Because the navy soldiers here, even the weakest ones, are now close to 500 moral points.
The strongest group has a power value of thousands. This group of sailors can even fight with Moria as long as a few of them join forces.
"Colonel, all lookouts have been deployed!"
"Where are the voice soldiers?"
"Already ready!"
"The lowest speed of the entire ship, let's go!"
"Yes, Colonel!"
In this era, when encountering such an environment with extremely low visibility, lookout sounds are usually used to determine each other's positions and coordinate navigation.
At the same time, the speed must be reduced to avoid being unable to react in time.
After all, there are no radars or other high-tech gadgets.
The three warships slowly began to move forward at a speed of 2 knots.
After a few minutes, he disappeared into the thick fog.
------
The terrifying barque.
This is a huge ship like a small island.
Also the pirate ship of Moria.ap.
"Jiheeheeheehee, Hogback, come and see my latest treasure!"
"Hiss...this is!!!"
Even Hogbark was shocked when he saw the huge corpse in front of him.
"Is this the legendary demon Oz?"
"That's right. How about it? Can it be repaired?"
"No problem, leave it to me!"
Rubbing his hands together, Hogbak was eager to try.
Although many parts of the body have rotted away, Hogubak is very confident that he can restore it completely!
Started working immediately.
At this time, Perona, who was responsible for patrolling and looking for prey, released two ghosts...
Distance card at this moment
The distance between the three cruisers in the library is less than 500 meters.
If nothing else happens, it won't be long before we come into contact.
At the same time, a strange singing sound suddenly came from this area.
Yo ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho...
Yo ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho...
Bringing Binx's wine to you...
Day after day in the dusk of dreams...
I will never see that figure waving goodbye again...
