I was a pirate, but I was given a Death panel

Holy Land Marie Gioia.

between powers.

Looking at the report that was just sent, the five old stars all frowned at this moment.

28 ironclad ships...

They naturally knew about the ironclad ship. After all, when Sean went to the Shampoo Islands before, he took an ironclad ship, not to mention Momo and Akainu, who now each have an ironclad ship.

It was precisely because Sean was not secretive and even directly arranged for Momotu and Akainu. In addition, Sengoku also ordered three ships from Carrera Company, so the Five Old Stars did not suspect anything.

But Alabasta...

This is impossible! ! !

Even though Alabasta is the largest and most populous member country in the world, this place is so poor...

Where did they get Bailey to buy ironclad ships, and they bought 28 ships at once?

There is obviously a problem here!

"What do you think about this?"

"I feel it has something to do with Sean. Have you forgotten about another piece of information from a few months ago?"

"You mean...about the people from the Sixteenth Branch in Alabasta, helping them train soldiers?"

"Yes, that's it!"

"But after investigation, didn't it say that the Sixteenth Branch sent an instructor group at the invitation of Kobra?"

"That's true, but don't you think it's strange? Just a few days after arriving in Alabasta, 28 warships were fully used. You know, the Royal Army of Alabasta is a pure army!"

"What you said is indeed a bit wrong. The navy and the army are two completely different arms. Even if there are warships, it is impossible for the army to play well in a short time. So what you mean is that Sean is in Alabasta. The sailors who trained them?”

Suddenly, all five people fell silent.

Sean Camble.

Naferutali of Alabasta.

These are very sensitive beings.

According to the previous conjectures of the five people, Sean has a high probability of having an unexplained relationship with Lord Im, and may even have a blood connection.

The Neferutali family was one of the twenty clans of the original Celestial Dragons, and when their ancestors left the Holy Land, Lord Im also told them not to touch the Neferutari family.

Therefore, neither Sean nor the Neferutali clan can move at will among the five of them.

This becomes very troublesome.

"How about asking Master Im?"

"No, Lord Im is about to fall asleep again. It's not appropriate to disturb him now!"

"What should we do? What if Alabasta loses control..."

There was a hint of worry on the face of the bearded Five Old Star.

As I said before, the world government now has a complete plan for governing the franchised countries.

The first step is to allow the pirates to cause chaos, causing the people of each country to live in poverty, and finally forcing each country to seek asylum from the World Government.

The second step is to collect protection fees from the participating countries, which is heavenly gold, to ensure that these countries will have no extra spare money to build naval fleets after giving the heavenly gold.

Third, establish a navy, and then let the navy protect these participating countries, and in disguise push the pirates to non-joining countries to burn, kill and loot, so as to encourage more countries to join the world government.

Fourth, maintain the balance between the navy and the pirate forces, and prevent the participating countries from thinking about withdrawing from the world government because the pirate crisis has been eliminated. In short, it is to support the pirates in their self-respect.

for hundreds of years.

World governments use this method to completely control the world.

Even when they entered the world of pirates, they did not give up this method.

Is the camp strength unbalanced?

Did the strength of the pirate camp greatly exceed that of the navy?

It doesn't matter, let's get a Shichibukai to come out and maintain the stability of the camp again!

So, is the world government incapable of destroying pirates?

Maybe the new world of the Great Pirate Age is indeed a bit troublesome for them, but if it's just the cleansing of the four seas and the first half of the Grand Route...

This is really not a thing.

It's just that for the so-called camp balance and to continue to control the world, they don't want to do this.

From this we can also see how important this so-called camp balance is to the Five Old Stars.

Even in order to restore balance, they can show no shame, because this is the cornerstone of their world rule.

But now, Alabasta has torn a hole from one direction.

That is the franchise country itself.

If the participating countries have a navy that is strong enough to resist pirates and belongs to them.

So what does the navy do?

Since the navy is no longer needed, why do we still have to hand over that terrifying amount of heavenly gold every year?

You can completely withdraw from the world government.

Once this situation is replicated, the consequences may be even worse than the balance of the maritime camp being disrupted.

It will definitely shake the foundation of world government.

It is precisely for this reason that Wulaoxing is so anxious at this moment.

"According to Carrera Company's previous quotation to Sengoku, the price of a medium-sized destroyer, which they define as a destroyer, is 5 million beli, while the price of a smaller frigate is 2 million beli."

"Therefore, the total of Alabasta's 28 warships this time is 90 billion beli."

"Although we can't directly touch Alabasta without Lord Im's order, we must find out where they got this money from!"

"If it is found out that Kobra has tampered with Alabasta's financial revenue and has lost some of the heavenly gold, then let him make up for it immediately. If he cannot make up, use those armored battleships to replace it."

The curly-haired Five Old Star pondered for a moment before speaking.

The other four people's eyes lit up.

That's right, although the Neferutari clan cannot be touched, the golden rules in the sky cannot be broken.

And the reason why Cobra was able to spend 90 billion beli to purchase these 28 armored warships shows that he has manipulated Alabasta's financial revenue.

You must know that each joining country must hand over heavenly gold. This is not determined casually, but is calculated in detail.

This is to ensure that after these joining countries pay heavenly money, the remaining finances can only maintain the operation of the kingdom, but cannot build a costly navy.

Therefore, the Five Old Stars have concluded that the reason why Kobra was able to buy 28 warships must have been due to false accounting, thereby withholding part of the sky gold that should have been handed over to the World Government.

Now, they just want to find out about this matter and let Kobra pay the debt, and even take the opportunity to take away Alabasta's fleet in a legitimate name. They will not directly attack the Neferutali family. do what.

This does not violate Lord Im's original order, and at the same time, it can extinguish Alabasta's naval dream for justifiable reasons.

It is indeed a good way.

Soon, the other four people all agreed.

------

Ten days later.

An investigation team composed of world government officials came to Alabasta.

The purpose of their trip was to check whether Kobra had done any financial manipulation so that he could pay less heavenly money.

At the same time, they also came to investigate where Bailey and Cobra, who purchased these battleships, came from.

However, after half a month of investigation, nothing was found. No clues could be found that Kobra had tampered with financial revenue.

As for the source of money to purchase warships, Kobra also gave a reasonable explanation.

The Neferutali family sold a large amount of treasures to get it together.

After all, it is a family that has been around for more than 800 years, and it was one of the twenty original families at that time. In addition, every generation of the Naferutali family is very diligent and thrifty, unlike the Celestial Dragons who spend extravagantly.

Therefore, it seems normal to sell some precious treasures in exchange for billions of beli.

In short, no reason was found for the investigation team, and the Five Old Stars had explained that they could only investigate normally and present evidence, and they could not frame the Naferutali family at will.

Therefore, after the investigation yielded no results, they did not dare to resort to false accusations as before, and could only return in despair.

When this incident reached Sean's ears, it also gave him a wake-up call.

The first batch is okay, that is, it is a 90 billion Bailey ship, but the second batch, the third batch, and even the Alabasta Navy with hundreds of warships in my own plan...

That wouldn't be easy to talk nonsense about.

As for the source of property for Alabasta's purchase of warships, it must also be well prepared to withstand investigation.

But what to do...

Ah, yes!

Suddenly thinking of something, Sean's eyes suddenly lit up.

That's right, the property left by the Neferutali family's ancestors and the stolen gold that he needs to sell can be handled together!

Give those gold items to Kobra and let him sell them to others on the pretext of selling off the Neferutali family property.

In this way, there is an open channel for selling stolen gold from Sky Island, and it no longer has to be done through the underground world network as carefully as before.

The source of funds for Kobra's purchase of warships has also become documented.

This can save countless headaches.

Thinking of this, Sean immediately called Cobra.

After hearing Sean's ideas, Cobra was also very excited.

After all, he also thought about what would happen next. He could escape once, but not the second or even third time.

Those excuses you make will come to light sooner or later.

But with Sean's method, he has nothing to fear.

Although Sean was a little surprised as to why he had so much gold, he would not get to the bottom of it.

The two sides hit it off immediately.

At the same time, it was also discussed that the supply time of the second batch of warships would be half a year later, including more than 50 ironclads including two cruisers.

And in these six months, all Cobra has to do is...

He began to "sell off his property" and sold all the gold worth 300 billion beli.

Sean even gave Cobra a trick. Anyway, if he was going to keep doing this kind of thing from now on, he might as well build a super auction house in the rainy land of Alabasta.

By the way, this can also boost Alabasta's economy, right?

As long as the auction items are attractive enough, there is no need to worry about those wealthy nobles not coming.

And if they want to come, they have to make various purchases, right?

Therefore, it can also develop a series of industries such as food, accommodation, etc., and even the general tourism industry can also be vigorously developed.

Why talk about general tourism?

It stands to reason that even if those nobles came for the auction, they would not stay long. Tourism does not seem to be of much significance.

But Sean gave Cobra another trick, making everything possible.

If you want to do it, then build the world's largest auction house, and the live footage of the auction will be live broadcast and made public in various dining venues, even hotels and other places in the rainland.

Although civilians do not have the money to participate, it is impossible to enter the auction house.

But they are also curious, right?

I’m curious about what treasures are included in each issue’s auction.

I wonder which big names will come to the auction.

I’m even more curious about the scene of countless big guys bidding like crazy and not using the money as money!

Finally, Morgans was asked to step in. During each auction, reporters were arranged to attend and report on the auction.

And for those participating in the auction, what does this mean?

It means that you must not be timid!

After all, there are so many people watching the live broadcast, plus newspaper reports.

If this is a coward, where is the face?

These nobles care about this stuff the most!

As for why you don’t come because there are such rules?

Sean said that as long as the food is good enough, there is no need to worry about them not coming!

For example, in this auction, several pieces of pure gold jewelry are released, each of which is a unique type in the world. Do you think these rich nobles will come?

After a while of discussion, Kobra became more and more excited.

After all, Alabasta is all desert, and its economy cannot develop at all.

But if this super auction house plan is successfully implemented, it may really boost the economy of the entire kingdom.

This allowed Alabasta to move from poverty to prosperity, and even gradually from prosperity to prosperity.

How could he not be excited?

Finally, under Sean's introduction, Kobra found Tokaf Company and asked them to design it immediately and start construction as soon as possible!

Although this project cannot be compared with the previous island-circling fortress of the 16th branch, Sumaner also became excited.

This is the Grand Route! ! !

As long as this project is done well, Tokaf will definitely win a large share of the various supporting projects in Alabasta.

the most important is...

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Tokaf Company can completely break out of the East China Sea and develop its business to the Great Line!

really...

His cooperation with Sean was the first time in his life...

The best decision ever made!
