From Pirates to Sweeping the Worlds

After being happy, Xia Jieren stroked his chin and thought, "It seems that I need to pay special attention to those devil fruit users in the future."

Then, he turned his attention to the devil fruit in front of him.

The power of this newly acquired devil fruit is self-evident.

Parahuman Bubu Fruit.

Can produce a variety of fabrics.

Xia Jieren asked someone to bring a small box and put the Bubu Fruit in it.

[Collection +1]

Xia Jieren was very satisfied with the harvest this time.

Afterwards, he became even more keen on causing trouble for pirates.

The notoriety of Xia Jieren and others quickly spread along this route.

After hearing this, the pirates felt very disdainful. They just thought that Xia Jieren and others were just taking advantage of the power of the vice admiral to do evil.

After defeating the Cotton Pirates, Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel sent someone to communicate with Xia Jieren, wanting to get the head of Captain Cotton Czech as a warning to others.

Of course, Xia Jieren firmly said "NO" to Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel's freeloading behavior.

I just made up an excuse to get away with it.

The Dragon God continued to move forward, heading towards [Saint Island] [Alabasta Kingdom].

On the way, they encountered six more pirate ships.

Encountering pirates so frequently made Xia Jieren sigh that the Grand Line was truly "full of thieves."

It is Xia Jieren’s responsibility to maintain peace in the ocean.

In three days, about 40 million Beli were received, and they were about to arrive at [Alabasta], so Xia Jieren was very happy.

Time is like running water, fleeting.

The Dragon God quietly appeared in a port city called [Rapeseed Flower].

The navy of the Kingdom of Alabasta quickly reported the information to the young King Cobra.

Upon learning that it was the Queen of the Netherlands Kingdom in person, Cobra decided to go to the Rapeseed Port to greet her.

After going ashore, special officials contacted Xia Jieren and others.

Knowing that the King of Alabasta was going to come here in person to greet them, Xia Jieren quickly refused and said, "Don't bother King Cobra."

"We plan to visit the Rapeseed Flowers first, and then go to Albana to visit your king."

After informing the Alabasta side of his plan, Xia Jieren took Litt and Robin to stroll around [Rapeseed Flowers].

Alabasta is worthy of being the superpower in the first half of the Grand Line [Paradise]. Except for the Kingdom of the Netherlands, it is more prosperous than any country that Xia Jieren and others have ever seen.

At this time, there was no Crocodile causing trouble in Alabasta, so people still lived very happily.

Although some pirates came here to cause trouble, they did not cause much damage and were dealt with.

Walking on the street, Xia Jieren and others became the focus of everyone's attention without any surprise.

Xia Jieren and Litte were no longer surprised.

"The architectural style of Alabasta is so unique." Litt looked around curiously.

"Hmm~" Xia Jieren responded softly, thinking: "This architectural style is not much different from Egypt."

"If not surprising, the inspiration should come from Egypt."

The architecture of Alabasta frequently uses geometric shapes such as straight lines, squares and triangles, and the interiors and exteriors of the buildings are decorated with rich hieroglyphics, reliefs and murals.

Furthermore, the people of Alabasta were all wrapped up tightly, with very little skin exposed.

"What is this... a piece of cloth on the head, but not rich." Xia Jieren complained in his heart.

As they walked, Xia Jieren suddenly had an idea: "By the way, could there be a lot of oil and natural gas resources buried underground in Alabasta?"

"It seems that I need to ask after I see Cobra."

"If there is, Alabasta will become rich in the future." Xia Jieren pondered.

While visiting the [Rapeseed Flowers], Xia Jieren and others also experienced the street stall economy of Alabasta.

On both sides of the street, there are stalls selling snake charmers, insect fighters, freshly squeezed juices, and spices.

Xia Jieren also bought some beautifully crafted carpets and some handicrafts.

After strolling around for half a day, Xia Jieren and others returned to the boat.

The next day, Xia Jieren and others set out early, facing the morning sun and taking advantage of the cool weather.

In order to facilitate the travel of Xia Jieren and others, King Cobra kindly sent the Kalu Duck Troops over.

Kalu Duck is a special animal of the Kingdom of Alabasta, known for its ability to run fast and its loyal and brave character.

When Xia Jieren, Litt and Robin saw the Karoo Duck, they fell in love with it immediately.

The Karoo duck has a large head with a tuft of obvious black feathers on the top of its head, shaped like a cockscomb; its eyes are large and round and bright, and its beak is broad, strong, yellow, slightly curved, and the tip of the beak is darker in color.

The Karoo duck has well-developed muscles, especially in its legs, which are strong and powerful, allowing it to run and jump at amazing speeds.

And it is large, similar to the size of a horse, large enough to carry an adult on a ride.

Looking at the Karoo duck in front of him, Xia Jieren stroked its light orange feathers back and forth.

Seeing Xia Jieren's actions, Kalu Duck shuddered in a humane way.

"Haha~" Litt and Robin couldn't help but laugh when they saw this scene.

Unlike Xia Jieren, the Kalu ducks under Robin and Litt were very obedient and submissively accepted their touch.

Seeing this, Xia Jieren became even angrier. He slapped Kalu Duck on the head and said, "You are sexist, aren't you?"

"Quack!" The Karoo Duck complained dissatisfiedly.

Litt smiled softly.

"Her Majesty the Queen of the Netherlands! Your Highness! It's time for us to set off." said Ikalem.

Xia Jieren nodded slightly, and then the Karoo ducks rushed out like the wind.

Feeling the strong wind blowing in their faces, Xia Jieren, Litte and Robin were not afraid at all, but were very excited instead.

In the desert, under the sunlight, the desert reflects a golden luster.

Waves of heat hit Xia Jieren and others.

Fortunately, they had already changed into loose robes and put on headscarves.

At first, Xia Jieren and others were very novel about the desert scenery, but after a four-hour long journey, they began to feel a little bored.

"Next time, I will definitely ask Feilong to send me off personally." Xia Jieren muttered to himself.

After resting for a while in an oasis, Xia Jieren and others continued on their journey.

Finally, in the evening, they arrived at the capital of Alabasta, [Albania].

[Albania] was built on a huge open highland and surrounded by vast desert. The city's internal structure was complex, including palaces, streets, markets, and hidden underground passages.

The palace is located in the center of the plateau and is guarded by tall walls.

After arriving at the palace, Xia Jieren and others were warmly received by Cobra.

"Haha~, welcome to the Kingdom of Alabasta." Cobra said enthusiastically.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, King Cobra," Litt greeted.
