Starting from Pirates, Myriad Worlds Simulation
Chapter 319 The Straw Hats Want to Challenge Wood
After enjoying the experience of the royal bathroom in Alabasta for a long time, Wood and Robin first left Albanna accompanied by Vivi.
However, before Wood left, in order to thank Wood for his help to Alabasta, and also to improve the overall combat effectiveness of the kingdom and avoid the situation of being unable to resist the pirate invasion in the future, Alabasta also asked Wood and their weapons company A large number of weapons were ordered.
Today's Alabasta should be extremely poor. After all, even Weiwei was unable to repay Nami's large amount of Bailey's remuneration.
However, after the downfall of Crocodile, the wealth it left behind is quite amazing.
He is the Shichibukai himself, and he has accumulated wealth in Alabasta for many years. His net worth is not to say that he is rich, but compared to ordinary pirates, he is also extremely impressive.
According to the previous agreement between Wood and Crocodile, after its downfall, these treasures should have belonged to Wood.
But in the end, while taking away these properties, Wood told Princess Vivi and King Cobra that these treasures were used as the expenses for Alabasta to order weapons from them and purchase water sources.
That's right, before Wood left Alabasta, he went to several big cities in Alabasta and performed several water king-level magics.
Although Crocodile was defeated, the three-year severe drought in Alabasta would not be resolved overnight.
Throughout Alabasta, the main source of income was previously dependent on a few oases on the island.
However, the oasis, including the commercial center of Juba, has now become a desert. Even without Crocodile, it is impossible for Alabasta to restore its previous vitality in a short period of time. arrive.
In Alabasta now, it is already quite difficult for all the citizens to live on, but the next problem they have to face is not only that, that is the heavenly gold that will be tributed to the Tianlong people.
Wanting to become an ally of the world government and accepting the protection of the world government is not completely free of cost.
Among them, the countries that they joined, besides going to Marie Gioia for the world conference within the specified time, they also have other obligations, which are the so-called gold in the sky.
The so-called Heavenly Gold is a nice name, but it is the protection fee that these kingdoms pay to the world government in disguise.
Since Crocodile came to Alabasta, the income of the kingdom has been declining day by day. In the past few years, the gold in the sky, Alabasta has exhausted its previous wealth.
But this year's Alabasta, it is estimated that it really can't afford the gold in the sky.
But Cobra and the others also figured it out. Before that, Alabasta paid tribute every year, but the kingdom was still devastated by the Shichibukai.
It can be seen that although they have handed over the protection fee, when the critical moment comes, the protection of the world government may not be useful.
After going through the Crocodile incident, Cobra also understood that if a kingdom wants to be strong, it really depends on its own strength to be the last word.
So Cobra, as the king of Alabasta, finally secretly reached some kind of cooperation with Wood.
If they don't pay the Heavenly Gold, Alabasta will lose the protection of the world government, so they must become stronger themselves.
Under this premise, the weapons needed to arm oneself are naturally the most indispensable.
While Wood accompanied Princess Vivi to several cities in Alabasta, while casting water king-level magic to provide water source problems in various places, he was also known as the geology of various places.
In the end, in a rather remote town in Alabasta, Wood finally found what he needed.
You have provided so much help to Alabasta, even allowed them to order weapons on credit, and paid for them to build cities, just for this kind of thing in your hands?
Seeing Wood in front of him pinching the black mud-like liquid with his fingers and smiling like a child, Robin asked curiously.
Dark brown in color with green fluorescent, pungent and viscous oily substance...
As Wood spoke, he was still snapping his fingers, and the black oil between his fingers suddenly burned like a combustion accelerant.
Well...the appearance and smell are correct, and it is so flammable, it should be crude oil.
Seeing that Wood confirmed that the black mud in his hand was what he had been looking for, Princess Weiwei, who was with them, also heaved a sigh of relief.
There are no people in this world who are nice to you for no reason, and Cobra, who is a royal family, and Princess Vivi are quite aware of this.
A big man like Wood will help Alabasta so much, either with ulterior motives like Crocodile before, or Alabasta is useful to Wood.
Navy traitor Wood is not a Straw Hat Pirates with a single-digit number, nor is he a hot-blooded boy. The opponent has a huge force behind him, and he is even a big boss in the sea.
If he helps Alabasta without asking, Princess Vivi and Cobra will have to worry about the other party's other plans, unless the other party is really a relative of their Neferutali clan.
Before Wood promised Alabasta a series of favorable conditions, it was all based on the premise that what Wood was looking for existed on Alabasta.
Seeing that Wood found what he wanted at this moment, Princess Weiwei was naturally very happy.
Is this what Mr. Wood has been looking for? The local people seem to call this kind of black oil.
Because of the unpleasant smell, and smelling the smell of this kind of thing for a long time, it will make people feel uncomfortable, so the local people have always regarded this kind of thing as an unknown thing.
Hearing Weiwei's words, Wood didn't think it was strange. This world already had gunpowder and other more lethal things, so things like oil were naturally not valued.
And for a desert kingdom, crude oil cannot be used as water to drink, and because it is prone to danger when the temperature is high, it is normal to keep a respectful distance from it.
However, Wood knows that if crude oil is used in warfare, its role is at most equivalent to that of kerosene.
However, if this thing is purified into oil through scientific methods, it can be used as the best kinetic fuel.
It can be said that the existence of this thing can push the era forward by a whole stage!
As long as there is oil, coupled with the increasingly mature and advanced technology of their weapons company, who the hell will still use wooden pirate ships in the future.
As soon as the 10,000-ton steel ship came out, all the fleets of the Four Emperors were smashed to pieces.
Even as long as there is oil as fuel, it is not impossible for a simple version of the aircraft to appear in this medieval era.
At that time, the giant steel ship will open the way on the sea, and the air plane will be covered with firepower. Sweeping the medieval sea is just like playing.
The crude oil of petroleum is generally buried in rock formations, and the principle of oil formation is said to be biodeposition into oil.
Petroleum is formed by the long-term evolution of organisms in ancient oceans or lakes, and finally these biological deposits turned into oil. Generally, ancient oceans and lakes are under the vicissitudes of life, and more landforms are now deserts.
That's why Wood thinks there might be oil in Alabasta.
Princess Weiwei, this is indeed what I'm looking for, I suggest you try to build a new city in this place.
In the future, our weapons company will buy as much black oil as there is. I can guarantee that Alabasta will not only get rid of the current predicament, but also become one of the richest kingdoms on the Great Airline.
Naturally, it was impossible for Wood to tell Princess Vivi about the method of refining crude oil, but the crude oil purchase price he proposed was quite sincere.
As long as Alabasta is not too stupid, he should also know by now who is the most beneficial to cooperate with.
Black oil is worthless in their hands, or even in the hands of others, and only in the hands of Wood can it exert its greatest value.
After returning to the palace of Albana, Princess Weiwei also signed a series of agreements with Wood on behalf of Alabasta and reached a cooperation.
It is worth mentioning that when Wood and Princess Vivi were looking for crude oil, the straw hats who were recuperating in the palace also recovered.
Regarding the recovery speed of several people's injuries, Wood had to lament once again that the human physique of One Piece World is really outrageous.
After the battle with Crocodile and his baroque studio, the Straw Hats were dying and poisoned. Even Nami, who was the least injured among them, had her hands and feet pierced by the sea urchin girl.
It's only been a few days, and these people have been revived with full blood. If it was in the world of jobless reincarnation, even using healing magic would not be so outrageous!
Wood, fight with me!
After waking up, when Luffy learned from his companions that the person who appeared in front of them before was Wood, the naval traitor he had always wanted to defeat, he regretted that he woke up too late.
Now seeing that Wood actually went back and returned, and his current injuries have all recovered, Luffy naturally couldn't hold back his fighting spirit and wanted to challenge Wood.
As for Ace's warning to him before, it has been thrown out of the sky by this guy Luffy at this moment.
The difference in combat power has never been a problem that Luffy will consider, just like he liked to challenge Shanks in the past, when he met the object he had always dreamed of since he was a child, how could he not fight with the opponent.
No, Luffy, you can't beat him, the chain-smoking colonel who was chasing us all the time before, couldn't even catch him with three moves...
Seeing Luffy with a fighting spirit and challenging Wood, Nami and Usopp stepped forward to hold their captain at the same time, and tried to cover each other's mouth.
They have worked so hard to defeat a king Shichibukai. The injuries on their bodies have not completely healed yet, and they are going to provoke a character who is more ruthless than Crocodile. Isn't this frankly courting death?
And it's understandable for them to fight with Crocodile, after all, they have long regarded Weiwei as a member of their companions.
But the navy traitor, Wood, never showed hostility to them from the beginning to the end, and they couldn't afford to provoke such a dangerous person.
No, I can win! Even if Crocodile is the same, it's hard to say anything about fighting until the final result comes out.
When Wood beat Smoker before, Luffy was in a coma, so he didn't know anything about it.
However, even knowing that Wood easily defeated Smoker Smoker, Luffy is still quite confident in his own strength and insists on challenging Wood.
Interesting, if that's the case, let me get involved, he should also be a great swordsman.
It's really exciting to be able to fight against the great swordsman!
Seeing Luffy challenge Wood, Zoro, who was wiping the long knife beside him, finally couldn't hold back his loneliness and followed suit.
Sauron, I was the one who proposed to fight Wood first, so his opponent should be me!
There is no order in fighting. The opponent is obviously a swordsman. Why are you a martial artist joining in the fun?
In this way, Luffy and Zoro, who had just recovered from their injuries, turned the boat of friendship overturned. At this moment, they were already fighting for the chance to fight Wood.
What's even more outrageous is that Sanji, who came back later, knew the reason for the quarrel between Luffy and Zoro, and wanted to attract the attention of Robin, the beauty next to Wood, and finally joined the quarrel.
Since you all want to compete with me, then let the three go together, so that at least you can hold on for a little longer.
It just so happens that whether it's kendo, martial arts, or even leg skills, I actually know a little bit. At least it should be no problem to be your opponent.
Regarding Wood's proposal, Zoro and Sanji, who have always been individual heroes, unexpectedly had no opinion. Instead, Luffy, who knew nothing about Wood's power, complained quite a bit.
However, with his companion and Wood both agreeing to this, he can't turn the situation around by himself. He only hopes that he will be the first to knock down Wood before Zoro and Sanji.
In the training ground of the Alabasta Royal Palace, Wood stood leisurely on one side of the training ground, while on the other side stood the three main forces of the Straw Hat Pirates, the Rubber Captain, the Road Crazy Swordsman and the Perverted Cook.
Vivi, do you think Luffy and the others can win?
Nami looked at the opposing sides on the court, and looked at Weiwei beside her with quite expectant expressions.
When they learned that Wood and Luffy were planning to compete, Nami opened a small gamble, and both King Cobra and the guard Icarem bet a lot.
Now that the reward was wasted, but with Nami's character, it's really not her character to leave empty-handed, so she planned to use gambling to earn some pocket money.
I think it should be possible... I have great confidence in Luffy and the others.
For Weiwei, the members of the Straw Hat Pirates are not only Alabasta's benefactors, but also her good friends. Now that Nami has asked this question, even if she thinks that Wood has a better chance of winning, she can only do so at the moment. answered.
