Pirate: Eternal

Chapter 91 Changes in Rainland

"Something that doesn't know how to live or die."

Gar Dino curled his lips in disdain, and the guards on the side carried the wax dolls down without even asking him.

Another amount of income has arrived!

This can actually be regarded as fishing. Anyone who comes can enter the park to pan for gold as long as they pay. If they cause trouble due to the high fee, they will be left here.

These people will be captured and imprisoned first, and then sent to Doflamingo's auction house to be sold as slaves.

Those with bounties will also be sent to the auction, but the starting price will be slightly higher than the reward. If no one bids in the end, they will be sent to the Navy in exchange for the reward money.

Doing so was indirectly involved in the slave business, but Vlad didn't have any moral pressure. After all, it was these guys who provoked him in the first place.

You don’t have to play if you find it too expensive. What does it mean to cause trouble? !

This is the benefit of the existence of evil people. If you bully them, you will not feel guilty about their conscience. Instead, you will feel like you are doing harm to the people.

On the other hand, under Musk's promotion, more and more people are signing working contracts with Vlad for food.

The content of the contract is very simple, that is, they have three meals a day and are not bullied by evil forces. In contrast, they have to work twelve hours a day and have six days off.

In addition, it was emphasized that even if Alabasta has sufficient food in the future, it cannot unilaterally terminate the contract. It must either pay sufficient liquidated damages or serve for a sufficient number of years.

Otherwise, they will be sent to the auction house to be sold as commodities to compensate Vlad for the money and time he spent on them.

The contract is open and transparent. If you agree with it, you sign it. If you don't agree with it, you won't sign it. No one forces them to do so.

However, there is a high probability that they will not be able to achieve food freedom. Vlad will always control the source of Alabasta's food in his own hands, buying it at low prices and selling it to the mainland at high prices.

Ships of other grain merchants can also enter Alabasta, but they will be detained for a period of time on the grounds of checking for contraband, and this period of time is long enough for the grain to spoil and no longer be edible.

If the merchants can't wait any longer, they can return with their goods along the same route, and Vlad won't let anyone stop them, otherwise he would be doing too much.

Of course, if the merchant was willing to sell to Vlad at a small profit, Vlad would open the door to welcome him.

It is impossible not to give profits to merchants. If a long-term cooperation can be reached, Vlad can also save the manpower of going to other islands to purchase.

The canal from the sea off Alabasta to the Rain Land was also opened by Ozma, and then Gal Dino reinforced it with candles as hard as steel along the way. It will not be a problem to use it for ten years.

Nowadays, the entire city of Rainland has been renovated, and it seems to be becoming the capital of Alabasta, and the daily flow of people is increasing.

In addition, under Vlad's command, many entertainment projects were developed, including casinos, hot springs, massages, gladiatorial arenas, desert racing, etc.

Vlad also asked Statham to use Doflamingo's channel to contact the Queen of Happy Street Stussy as King Shichibukai and ask her to open a Happy Street in the rainland.

In order to intentionally build Rainland into a resort in the first half of the Grand Line, Happy Street was indispensable. Vlad himself did not want to get involved in the flesh business, so he had to do this.

As for the identity of Happy Street Queen Stussy, there is a high probability that there will be many spies mixed into Happy Street in Rainland, but Vlad has not worried about it.

Vlad has never thought about hiding himself from other forces. He is not the pirate king and does not overthrow the world government. Apart from not letting others know that he wants to get close to Vegapunk, there is nothing else to be ashamed of. .

It's just that the tree will attract trouble, and there are some pretentious guys who want to step on him, but Vlad will be fine if he doesn't provoke others. If others provoke him, he can only hope for happiness.

In contrast, no matter how prosperous the Rainlands are, other parts of Alabasta are in decline, especially when they encounter famines for various reasons.

Under the influence of King Kobra and the rebel leader Kosha, many people did not seek refuge in the Rain Land even if they were hungry.

Because Crocodile no longer sent them regular sandstorms, the water resources gradually improved, but the crops in the fields would not grow for a while, and many people still starved to death.

It often happens that Yi Zi cannibalizes his children and sells his daughters. Musk was so angry that he yelled that these guys have no brains. They can survive by working in the rain. Why doesn't anyone understand such a simple truth?

"It's true that God can forgive you for doing evil, but you can't live for man's evil!"

Walking on the street, Musk sighed.

The scene here is slightly better than in other cities. People are hiding in the shade, moving as much as possible to reduce physical exertion. If they are really hungry, they will take out cooked potatoes and lick them.

Potatoes were distributed by the king, and the king was assisted by the navy. In the final analysis, King Kobra still did not have a stable source of food.

Kobra and Kosha have not bowed to the rainy land yet, mainly because Vlad asked Statham to report the situation in Alabasta to Sengoku, and then Sengoku sent the nearby navy branch to provide food.

These two people are counting on the navy to continue to assist them until the crops they planted grow...

"How naive and stupid!"

Musk had no scruples and cursed King Kobra in front of everyone.

The navy, which has been undergoing physical training for a long time, is a big consumer of food. It would be great if it can squeeze out food to aid Alabasta. It actually expects the navy to provide long-term assistance.

Jerry, the Navy branch chief who was assisting Alabasta, was also found out by Vlad. He was the guy who secretly manipulated the pirates to collect protection fees.

Jerry was not so kind as to send free grain to Alabasta. It was the Warring States Marshal who had a good talk with him before he bought some grain from his own pocket and sent it to Alabasta.

The Warring States Marshal had long since discovered his secret manipulation of pirates to collect protection fees. He just considered that order in this chaos was better than pirates running around committing crimes, so he recorded it in his notebook without causing any trouble.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Warring States revealed what Jerry had done, and then asked Jerry to solve the crisis in Alabasta. Otherwise, there would be no need to go through the trial process on Judiciary Island, and Jerry would be sent directly to Impel Down.

At first, Jerry asked his sailors to catch fish and wild animals by offering a reward, and then sent them to Kobra in Alabasta.

But it is a drop in the bucket and only solves the problem in the capital Albana. Millions of people in other cities still have no food to eat.

The beasts and fish that can be caught are basically caught. If you think about it again, you need to go to a place close to the windless zone, but the possibility of Sea Kings appearing there is much greater. No sailor is willing to go there for a small bounty. Catch fish.
