Pirate's Plant Fruit

Chapter 63 The Current Situation of Drum Country
Maria the Onion Bear led the crowd to a hotel in the village.

"Maria's Hotel" is written on the front door of the hotel.

They entered the lobby of this hotel together. Although the area is small, the layout is quite simple.

"There are guests, so you should be more diligent." Maria the Onion Bear shouted.

There are two teenagers in the hotel.Both teenagers are tall and burly, but they are still young, but put together with the onion bear Maria, they really look like two cubs and a female bear.It looks like it fits too well.

"Wow, two little bears." Luffy said.

"It's really similar." Usopp also said.

Sauron looked at the two of them again as if complaining.

"These are my two sons, Levin and Rice. You can tell them if you have anything to say." Maria the Onion Bear said.

Then Maria the Onion Bear put down her things.

"Okay, everyone. I'll contact the doctor later." Onion Xiong Maria said.

"Thank you so much," Nami said.

Then Maria the Onion Bear left the hotel and walked outside.

Everyone sat on the chairs in the lobby, and some went to the hotel room.

There are not many guests in this hotel, so it seems relatively quiet.

Everyone hurriedly asked for some tea to drink to warm their bodies.Luffy even asked for some meat dishes from the hotel and ate them wantonly.

Usopp and Rogge chatted with the two sons of Maria the Onion Bear.

"It's really peaceful here, compared to the city, it's really idyllic." Usopp said.

"Well, this is an area that is not too much controlled by Wapol. It is the most peaceful area on the island. It is also an area where the Magnetic Drum Kingdom has maintained its original appearance decades ago." Levin said.

"Really? What does it mean to maintain the original appearance decades ago?" Usopp asked.

"In the past, Drum Country was an idyllic and leisurely country. Of course, this is what my mother and other neighbors said. At that time, Drum Country was full of beautiful ice and snow and seven majestic mountains. The citizens also expired A leisurely and happy life,” Levine said.

"However, until one day, the old king passed away. The new king is also the current monarch, and Wapole succeeded him. Wapole was different from the old king in his generosity and kindness. He was a very ambitious person. He was greedy for power and He loves money. After he ascended the throne, he didn’t pay much attention to the establishment of the Wapole Consortium. Using the advanced medical industry in the Drum Country, it further developed into a comprehensive multinational large-scale enterprise with pharmaceuticals, medical care, and doctor training. Moreover, Wapole himself is a A Devil Fruit user with the ability to swallow the fruit. With the ability to swallow the fruit, he created a lot of new materials. For example, the famous Wapole alloy is his creation."

"Wapole alloy?" Usopp said in shock after hearing this.

"Yes, Wapol's ability to swallow fruit is to swallow objects and combine them. He can produce many different types of alloys by swallowing different objects. For example, combining iron with tin, copper with lead, aluminum and zinc Combining, even mixing multiple metals," Levine said.

Usopp was shocked, and said: "It turns out that Wapole alloy was produced by King Wapole of the Magnetic Drum Kingdom."

Usopp often likes to make various small weapons, and he naturally knows Wapol alloy.

Levin continued: "Yes, Wapole alloy has quickly become a major invention in the world. It is marketed on great routes and all over the world. Even the world government has become a major customer of Wapole alloy. The medical industry in the magnetic drum country, plus Wapole alloy. The two major industries form the strong foundation of the Wapole consortium. With the medical industry and the Wapole alloy, the Wapole consortium has become a powerful multinational enterprise. Even the drum country itself is an idyllic country It has become a developed industrial country. Wapol has even become a guest of the world government. He is not only the king of a country, but also the boss of a consortium."

Usopp and Roger looked at each other.

Usopp said: "Is this Wapol still capable of doing business?"

Levin and Rice had wry smiles on their faces.

"Do business?" Levine smiled wryly.

"He's a really selfish guy," Rice said.

"What exactly?" Roger asked.

"Wapole is a madman with extreme power and money. The Wapole consortium he founded has incorporated 90.00% of the people in the Drum Kingdom into a system that is highly governed and exploited by him. He can take [-]% of the wealth created Even more. The Wapole Consortium’s superficially even the Drum Country has leapt into an industrial powerhouse. The citizens have been exploited even more. The standard of living and material goods have only improved a little, but most of the fruits have been picked by it In addition, Wapol also used the power of the king to seize national land for industrial purposes. The wealth earned was used to strengthen industries and army building. Through economic and force means, Wapole has successfully used The Magnetic Drum Country has become its private wealth." Rice said dissatisfiedly.

When Weiwei heard this, her expression changed a lot.

"Wapole only became stronger because of his power and wealth. The people did not support the king, but were controlled and feared. Now there is no relationship between the king and the subjects in the Magnetic Drum Kingdom, but the relationship between the slave and the slave owner. Wapo As I said personally, Wapole is the country. The Drum Kingdom is his private property." Rice said lamentingly.

"unacceptable!"

Vivi stood up angrily.

"You actually treat the people as slaves! A monarch doesn't love his own people, but pursues control and money power. It's too much!"

Wei Wei has been a very responsible princess since she was a child, and she is extremely disgusted with this kind of cruelty and extreme tyranny in Wapole's bones.

"Vivi, don't be angry. We also know what that guy Wapol is, just look at his subordinates." Rogge said.

At the same time, Rogge also remembered the appearance of the people after entering the urban area. Although the urban area was bustling, there were no crowds.Instead, the entire country is filled with rigidity.

Cold and harsh, this is the status quo of Magnetic Drum Country.Not only in the climate, but also in the hearts of the people.

Prosperity on the surface, real cruelty on the inside.

On the contrary, this inland village is full of peace, although it is remote, it has a strong human touch.

"Wait, is Wapol completely in control of the Magnetic Drum Kingdom now? There are still things he can't control. For example, people's hearts?" Rogge asked.

Levin and Rice glanced at each other.

"Yes, there are still people in the Magnetic Drum Kingdom who resisted the tyrant Wapol. And that person was born under Wapole's command." Levin said.

"He is the former Kingdom Protector General, Dalton." Rice said.

Both of them showed some admiration on their faces.
