Great Pirate Crocodile

Chapter 43 The Establishment of Rain Land

A few days later, Crocodile and his party left Juba, and found an unknown small oasis through their connections.It is estimated that in recent years, due to the abundance of rainwater or groundwater, a small oasis has been newly formed.

Looking at the low-lying land that looked like an oasis in front of him, Crocodile nodded in satisfaction.Although it is far from being as big as Juba, the environment here can definitely develop into a big oasis.

First of all, this oasis is developed by relying on a small river and a big river pond.And looking at the landform of this low-lying land, it can definitely gather a lot of rainwater, which meets the conditions for the further expansion of the oasis.The most important thing is that there is no one occupying it for the time being, and no corresponding city has been established.Of course, there are also human footprints here, and it is estimated that a small gathering place will be formed in a short time.But since it was discovered by Crocodile, this situation will not be allowed to happen.

Crocodile will use this as a base to develop a city with gray transactions.Moreover, according to the map, if a city can be established here, it will connect the major cities in Alabasta.Most importantly, it is closer to the port.It is believed that if there is a population gathering place here, it will attract a large number of floating population and rebuild a paradise-like bustling city.

"Come here, use all your connections, no matter how much money you have, or exchange them for anything. In short, put this oasis under my name." Crocodile said in a domineering tone. "Of course, if someone dares to speak loudly to us lions, then you don't have to give them face. No matter what methods you use, I just want the answer. There is no need to be hypocritical when communicating with the leaders of the black market. Remember that we are pirates. Only We threaten others' share, and absolutely no one else can threaten our share."

No one cared about the process, but only knew that after a few days, Crocodile finally obtained the contract for the oasis from a nobleman in Alabasta.The irony is that the contract is still stamped with the personal seal of the 12th king of Alabasta and the current king, Naferutali Cobra.It is estimated that this enlightened king would never have imagined that he personally introduced Crocodile, a prehistoric giant crocodile, into his family.And many years later, when he discovered this fact, he could only get angry with those big nobles who only knew how to get rid of it, and silently cover up this stain on the other hand.

Looking at the contract, Crocodile smiled.After copying the content of the contract, the subordinates will hold the contract and drive away those residents who do not obey Crocodile's rule.On the other side, they started to establish Crocodile's jazz collar again.Yes, through relationships, Crocodile's title of nobility recognized by the World Government finally worked.Unlike the nobles of a country, although the title of Crocodile is low, it is common all over the world.In comparison, it is equivalent to the gap between hereditary and non-hereditary, or even greater.

And borrowing this name, Crocodile finally got this oasis with justification.Of course, this is only on the surface. I won't say much about how many dirty gray transactions are hidden behind the scenes.

Crocodile looked at this small oasis. Although it was a small oasis, it was not too small.At least building a small town is definitely okay.And with the development of Crocodile's plan, if that thing really works, coupled with Crocodile's ability transformation, it will definitely make this oasis expand even bigger.

Once the territory is established, how to make money and hoard resources becomes a problem.Nonsense, piracy is a high-consumption profession, and if you support such a large group of people, how can you do it without money?What are these people working for you, not for a better life.If you can't even give these, why are they following you?Have a bright future?Crocodile doesn't think it's because of his bastard air that everyone is convinced.Only brain-dead people think so, otherwise, why would the four emperors of the new world fight back and forth for territory?Why does the world government desperately suppress pirates?It is not for the allocation of resources, if everyone has sufficient resources.Then there will be no revolutionary army, and the world will be in trouble.And the world government will not have to give some of its benefits to Qi Wuhai to join forces against the new world four emperors.

So, here comes the problem.What is the most profitable thing in the world, of course, is printing money.But those bankers are not easy to mess with. Which one is not the black market power behind it or is simply supported by the world government.Even Crocodile has supported several small bankers before, but unfortunately they all failed.But this also let Crocodile know how deep the water is, even the current Crocodile can't say that he can intervene in it.Besides, Crocodile's territory is here now, and it's beyond his reach, and he can't get in.Therefore, the first one was dropped by PASS.

Then, there are some illegal industries with huge profits, but Crocodile has a legal license (the welfare of Shichibukai under the king), but it would be too stupid to let Crocodile do it blatantly.That's right, in fact, after becoming a Shichibukai, there really isn't a Shichibukai (except for Moonlight Moriah who is still doing that in the Devil's Sea) who is only doing robbery foolishly.It usually involves other industries, the most typical one being the flamingo auction industry. Even Hawkeye only regards hunting pirates as finding an opponent, not being a bounty hunter for money.

Crocodile is not that stupid. Although he can't do it on his own face, it doesn't mean that Crocodile will give up these benefits.You can't take action yourself, but you can secretly support some forces to do these dirty things!But after all, it doesn't match the "national hero" role of Wei Guangzheng that he wants to portray in the plan.So it can only be done in secret. This seemingly good path actually has various restrictions.

Next, the lesser one is the lucrative pornography, gambling and drug industry.It is also a gray industry. Compared with the above two, it definitely has a lot of resources to raise.After thinking about it, Crocodile resolutely gave up pornography and drugs. The former is Crocodile's disdain for those traffickers and relying on women to make money.And the latter is pure dislike, Crocodile doesn't want to become a big drug lord or something.And, if you want to build the dream city of Alabasta.Then choosing the gambling industry is definitely a very good choice, and then we will make a few examples of getting rich overnight.I'm not afraid of those people frantically crowding here, and the high consumption here will definitely empty their wallets.

It was decided, looking at the pond in the center of the oasis, Crocodile decided to build a gambling paradise on the water based on this natural reservoir.Well, it's called "Rain Banquet", which means that only here is the most precious water resource in the desert, and it also symbolizes that this is the paradise of the kingdom.

Well, this city is called "Rainland". It won't be long before I will let you know why Rainland is called Rainland. "Sad Juba, are you ready to kneel and beg me? Hahaha!" Crocodile laughed presumptuously: "Unfortunately, the weak have no justice!"

It was also from such a day that the name of the rainy land began to spread throughout Alabasta with Crocodile's deliberate management.
