Pirate: I am Wang Lufei

Chapter 192 Ancient Ruins

Kosha saw Weiwei sitting in a car. The car was not pulled by a camel, but rolled on its own. There was a mast hanging from the iron shell on the roof, and the bottom of the car was a ship-shaped structure.

Very strange car.

Weiwei opened the car door and got out of the car, "Kousha, I brought my new friend to see you."

Weiwei sometimes comes here to see Kosha and play with him, but only rarely because to come here, Bell needs to fly here with her.

Kosha saw some girls in the car, "Hello, my name is Kosha."

Kosha nodded to these people.

"Is this the town you and your father created together? It's pretty awesome." Bellemeier looked at this emerging town.

Although it is still very crude, it already has the foundation for prosperity.

This is a transportation artery linking various large cities in the country, and it is a place that is bound to prosper.

"In addition to coming to see you, I also have the task of promoting new means of transportation." Weiwei said.

"Look, this is Luffy's innovative means of transportation. He improved the sand boat and created this."

Weiwei pointed at the sand truck and said.

"It has a roof to provide shade and is very fast in the desert. After entering the city, you can put down the outer wheels and run on the wheels."

"With this, merchants can travel to various places quickly, and the safety is much higher." Weiwei said happily.

Most civilians in Alabasta sign contracts with large beasts and coexist peacefully, but animals also have tempers. They may drink water, want to go to the toilet, go on strike, and a series of other problems.

Only camels are the main means of transportation for civilians, so the appearance of sand trucks will attract great attention from the country.

"If you run like a sand boat in the desert, what's the driving force in the city?"

Kosha curiously looked at the decoration inside the car through the glass.

The decoration inside the car is still very simple. What is eye-catching is that there is a rotating clockwork on the right hand side of the boy in the cab.

"The power is the spring." Luffy said, pulling out the rotating spring, and the car stopped.

"A clockwork is also a car key."

"Although I don't quite understand, it's incredible, you are so powerful!" Kosha looked at Luffy and said.

"Thanks for the compliment." Luffy got out of the car.

"Those two craftsmen will build a car shop here and make cars." Luffy pointed to the two old men who got out of the car and said.

"What's the price?" Kosha asked.

"Look at the model, it's a sand truck and motorcycle version of [-] Baileys for personal use." Luffy said.

The price is the same as a good knife.

Ordinary residents of Alabasta can afford it, but they just have to bite the bullet and buy it, which will cause a bit of pain.

But Luffy felt that the price was indeed very cheap. The power of the sand boat was the clockwork and gears, and the power in the desert was the wind. It can run without electricity or oil, which means there is no additional power cost.

A good quality car can last for decades.

“What a deal!”

Kosha nodded. He often saw merchants doing business together, so he didn't think the price was much higher.

It’s more cost-effective than camels, and you don’t need to prepare food and water for camels, so you don’t have to complain.

"This is our last stop, Kosha. There will be more of these things in the future, and everyone will use this to get around." Weiwei said happily.

There are four large cities in Alabasta: the royal capital Arubana, the port Rapeseed, the oasis city Airuma, and the rainland, and Yorba is the fifth important large city that is growing.

It was enough for Luffy and the others to bring the sand truck to these five places. The rest of the places were small and poor cities, belonging to backward areas, with no scenery to see, and severe drought.

"Alabasta will definitely rely on cars to prosper!" Weiwei said.

Transportation is very important. Speeding up transportation will drive surrounding development.

"Do you know swordsmanship?"

Kosha looked at the Wang Jian behind Luffy curiously. Judging from the exposed appearance, the Wang Jian was much better than the big sword behind him.

"Yeah, I know a lot." Luffy nodded.

"Luffy's swordsmanship is very powerful and can defeat the piranha in the desert." Weiwei couldn't wait to tell Kousha.

<divclass="contentadv">"It's so powerful. Can we kids defeat that kind of giant monster?" Kosha was shocked.

"All it takes is exercise and guidance from a teacher." Luffy smiled.

Kosa is a kind person, but he can be very impulsive.

Kosha's father Duoduo hurried over and said, "Welcome, Your Royal Highness."

"Jorba is still very simple, so forgive me for not being so well-received."

"it does not matter."

"You are Duoduo, the person in charge of Joba. We are here to build a car dealership on the king's mission. Please plan a workshop for us."

The craftsmen said to Duoduo.

"I see……"

The adults started talking about things, and Weiwei waved to her friend: "Come, there is an ancient ruins here in Yoba, with a long history!"

Weiwei said.

"Ancient ruins?" Uta asked.

Kosha got into the car and sat in the third row of the back seat. He saw Luffy insert the spring representing the key into the hole and twist it a few times.

With a clicking sound, the car was activated again.

The co-pilot is Weiwei, because she has to guide the way.

The second row is where Bellemere and the three girls are, and the third row is where the craftsmen sit.

Luffy took the direction and drove where Weiwei said.

The ancient ruins, starting from Yoba, would take three or four hours to reach by riding a camel. It is more than 40 kilometers away, so it is a relatively far place.

An hour's drive is enough.

The car left the oasis, Luffy pressed the button, and the outer wheels lifted up and retracted to reveal the ship-shaped structure. The sails unfolded and the sand truck sped forward.

"It's amazing. Can gears and clockwork make so many things? I thought I could only make small toys like that." Kosha exclaimed while lying on the window.

"Nokigao thought this was the case before, but there is an island that is completely made of clockwork and gears several hundred meters in the sky. They use huge gears and clockwork to maintain the operation of the entire island..."

Nozhiko paints a scene from Clockwork Island.

In that place, people used giant clockwork and gears to keep an island floating in the air, and the giant clockwork rotated for decades.

"Is there such a magical place in the world?" Kosha couldn't believe it.

Arriving at the ancient ruins, Weiwei got out of the car and acted as a tour guide.

Luffy knocked on the bricks of the ruins, cracks appeared under the knocks, and they fell with a crash.

"The civilization of this land has been built for thousands of years. Countless countries were born and disappeared. Sometimes they migrated in search of water sources, and sometimes wars broke out. Relics like this often appear on this land, as well as various Such a mystery..."

Weiwei said.

"Then the Alabasta Dynasty was born." Uta walked curiously across the mottled floor tiles, then sat down and listened to Weiwei's story.

"No matter how prosperous a dynasty is, it is difficult to escape the fate of disappearing, just like Rome." Cosa said.

"Actually... when Weiwei sees these ruins, people can't help but think about what a country is."

Weiwei looked at these ancient cities and said.

"Will one day... Alabasta become like this?"

"Because of war or other reasons, only these buildings will be left..."

"No, isn't King Cobra a very good king? He is a king loved by the people." Nami patted Vivi on the shoulder.

"Yes, Weiwei, as long as the king continues like this, Alabasta will definitely continue to maintain it." Kosha also said.

"Alabasta has lasted for twelve generations, and Weiwei will be the 13th king, a great queen."
