Arkham in the pirate world

"Paddy, let them in," said Zep, wearing a tall hat and crossing his arms.

"Boss" Paddy turned around.

Zhepu said: "Bharati Restaurant will not refuse any customer who wants to eat."

Paddy reluctantly let them in.

Sit for a while.

After washing up, Sanji, who put on a waiter's costume, brought two cups of coffee, handed them first to Robin and then to Lister, sticking out his tongue at him and making a face.

"Go and serve the food." Liszt pushed him away.

Robin took a newspaper, read it for a while, folded it and put it on the table, and said, "This is the restaurant the newspaper mentioned."

Liszt glanced over and saw a picture of Zhepu on the newspaper. He was wearing a chef's uniform and had his arms folded. He looked impressive.

The background of the picture is the Barati restaurant.

The title of the report was "Shocked by the great pirate Redfoot Zhepu who returned from the Grand Line and returned to his former ways."

Another shock ministry report.

The news content, from the perspective of a diner who happened to pass by Barati, discovered that the owner of the restaurant was actually the great pirate Zhepu who had disappeared for nearly three years. He developed a desire to explore and risked his life to interview Zhepu. He told the story of a pirate who, after experiencing a storm,... Living on an isolated island, he owned countless gold and silver treasures, but had to endure hunger and eat his own right foot until he was rescued. He came up with the idea of ​​"it would be great if there was a restaurant on the sea" and then opened a sea restaurant.

Although it was not written who the pirate was, anyone who had read the newspaper would know who it was.

"Well, this is it." Liszt shook the coffee.

"The newspaper footer has a less obvious bat symbol, your newspaper"

"Ours," Liszt emphasized.

Robin picked up the newspaper and continued to read it, making sure it was her own newspaper. She read more carefully.

"East China Sea Economic Development News"

Liszt said: "The largest newspaper in Donghai is Donghai Economic News, which has a copy of Donghai Economic News. The name is also to use the other party's reputation."

Robin asked: "World Economic News Agency Subsidiary"

She then said doubtfully: "It's easy to make enemies."

"It's okay. If you have a feud, it must threaten the interests of the other party. The newspapers in Donghai are not too much, not too much, not too little, such as Donghai Noble Newspaper and Donghai News. There are also newspapers in various kingdoms, and some are directly called World Economic News , the president of the World Economic News Agency, no one will even look at them, because there is no threat to him. But if he feels that you are a threat, even if you call a bullshit newspaper, he will fight with you."

Robin nodded. Although she was only over 21 years old, she had experienced a lot and knew many conflicts. The key was the word "interest".

"Penguin Paradise"

In the afternoon, taking a boat to the Arkham Chamber of Commerce headquarters, Robin glanced at Lister with a smile in his eyes and said, "A paradise built for Miss Penguin."

Crowe who was greeted at the door pushed up his glasses slightly and looked at the tall woman wearing a black bat mask in front of him out of the corner of his eye.

From Liszt's demeanor and the woman's words, we can make a judgment.

Robin ignored the sneer Liszt, stretched out his hand to Crowe, and said: "Hello, Mr. Black Cat, I heard from the president that you shouldered the responsibility of the Arkham Chamber of Commerce, and you are loyal and shrewd. Nightwing, please come back in the future. Please give me more advice”

Crowe stretched out his hand to hold it, and when he touched it, he let it go. He smiled and said, "Everywhere, the president will give you guidance. I'm just responsible for running errands."

Liszt laughed, who doesn’t like flattery?

After this period of integration, development, and operation, the Arkham Chamber of Commerce has digested the markets in the two sea areas, and its financial situation has improved rapidly.

In this world dominated by oceans, the huge profits from shipping are unimaginable to outsiders.

As long as you have a boat, courage, strength, and a little bit of luck, you can take a boat trip and your whole family will have enough food and clothing for a year or two.

Since the establishment of the East China Sea Development Corporation, well-known pirates in the East China Sea have been avoiding merchant ships flying the black bat flag.

Once you can't afford to offend, why don't you see that captains like Crick and Bucky were kept submissive by others?

Secondly, I don’t dare to mess with it. My little treasury is all in someone else’s place. Who dares to rob it?

Especially after receiving the three-month dividends, all pirates with funds in the East China Sea Development Company jointly announced that anyone who dared to rob the Arkham Chamber of Commerce's ship would be in trouble with them.

Why

Because the people who gave them dividends said that their money was invested in the shipping of the Arkham Chamber of Commerce. Each period of dividends was distributed to them in proportion from the shipping profits. In other words, if something happens to the shipping cargo ship, They have to lose money, and if they lose money, there is no profit. Without profit, their dividends and even their small treasury will be wasted.

It's like saying, whoever robs the Arkham Chamber of Commerce's ship will also rob their money. That's okay.

In addition to shipping, newspapers and weapons companies have begun to build blood and become self-sufficient. Only the shipyard still needs investment. However, the shipyard's first ship is about to be launched.

As for the Chamber of Commerce, the increasingly mature Crowe is in charge, and Liszt has nothing to do for the time being. He is more concerned about Arkham Academy.

After listening to the report from the top executives of the Arkham Chamber of Commerce, Liszt made simple arrangements and took Robin to the academy.

Robin has always been a wanted criminal of concern to the World Government. She cannot reveal her identity yet, so she always wears a bat mask.

After nearly a year of trial and error, and with the addition of six more knowledgeable and experienced professors, Arkham Academy is on the right track, becoming more professional and formal.

After class, you can see boys and girls wearing red and black sailor uniforms along the way. Their faces are filled with youthful smiles. As they chase and fight, they have the energy and vitality of boys and girls.

Robin felt something different from ordinary children from them, sincere smiles and confidence.

Liszt felt the changes in Arkham College the most. He smiled and said happily: "The position of the Library Director is still vacant, and I think there is no one more suitable to be in charge of the Historical Research Department than you. "

"Is it suitable?" Robin looked around, her heart pounding. After all, she is still a scholar. She prefers to read quietly, do research, and swim in the ocean of ideas. Well, that is, a young and artistic woman.

"Why is it inappropriate? Arkham Academy is not a chamber of commerce. Those who have mastered here are teachers. Next year, I plan to build a primary school in every island or village to provide four-year primary education, expand the proportion of literate people, and then select the best. Choosing suitable places to build a few middle schools will still require four years of training. If you enter school at the age of six, eight years later you will be fourteen, which is the age when ideas are formed. If you choose the best, you can come to Arkham Academy. If they continue their education, they will be the future of Arkham. The rest can also enter the Arkham Chamber of Commerce and work, and they will become the cornerstone of Arkham."

Liszt talked freely about his plans. Knowledge and thoughts need time to accumulate and cannot be developed overnight. After all, the situation of epiphany and awakening is the patent of a few geniuses.
