Paper fruit among pirates

Chapter 89 History Text Desalination
"This way, Mr. Roman."

In the royal mausoleum on the west side of the palace, Vivi's father, the middle-aged king Neferutali Cobra, is waiting here solemnly.

"King Cobra, please don't call me 'sir', just call me by my name."

Facing Roman's words, the middle-aged man on the opposite side nodded gently, instantly changing from a majestic king to a friendly uncle next door.

"Then Roman, you also have to call me 'Cobra' or 'Uncle Cobra', - it's always the king's king, doesn't it seem very outrageous?"

"·····Right,"

"Then, Uncle Cobra." Roman was as good as he was, "About what I proposed..."

"Well, your information is 'accurate'."

Even more accurate!
I can clearly know that Nafirutari keeps the 'Pluto' manual, and even knows that in the mausoleum, except for the Nafirutari royal family, there are only those...
"It's here."

As the middle-aged king stroked an inconspicuous figurative decoration in the mausoleum, a passageway into the ground cracked open in the otherwise empty floor.

"That 'historical stele' is in there."

"Very good." Facing the legendary battleship 'Pluto' that destroyed an island with one shot, Roman was unmoved, but turned his head to look at the stone pillar of the mausoleum next to him.

"Nicole Robin."

"As you can see, I've kept my promise."

step, step,

A tall figure with a white trench coat and a white cowboy hat turned out from behind the stone pillar. It was the top cadre of the Baroque studio: Miss. All Sunday.

"This is..."

"Yes, it is your goal: the historical stone monument."

Roman stepped aside and made a 'please' gesture to the passage below.

And the intellectual woman named Nicole Robin took a deep look at Roman and walked towards the passage below. ——No matter what awaits her in it, at least this is the closest she has come to the 'historical text'!So never give up.

········
"Aren't you going to go down and have a look?"

As Nicole Robin entered the underground tomb, King Cobra, who was guarding outside, chatted with Roman casually.

"What are you looking at? A big rock you don't know?"

Roman leaned on the stone pillar next to him indifferently, "I know what you are worried about, Uncle Cobra."

"It's nothing more than the 'Pluto' fell into the hands of the ambitious family, and then what's going on~~~"

"Speaking of which, I'm quite surprised that you didn't ambushing three hundred axemen around."

Although the father of Vivi, the king of Alabasta in the previous life, was famously wise, but——

In the face of events that may cause chaos in the world, the more wise the king is, the more decisive he is!Judging from the fact that the other party did not hesitate to blow up the tomb in the original book, the other party is definitely not an innocent and stupid person...

"Hehehe, Roman, you bastard."

"You're so scheming when you're young, why can't you be as… frank as everyone else?"

Facing the teasing of the middle-aged man next to him, Roman rubbed his forehead.

"Sorry, I have to take care of this naive guy...especially our captain, we must take into account all the issues that should be thought by them alone."

"However, you can rest assured."

"I'm not interested in Hades," Roman pointed to the tunnel next to him with a thumbs up. "The woman inside doesn't have any interest in Hades either. You may not believe it: she's just an archaeologist."

Therefore, there is no need to kill or kill.

——Although there is no 'master' in Alabasta who can kill Roman or Nico Robin.

Tapping.

Soon, Nicole Robin came out of the secret passage, looking at her disappointed expression and:

"What a surprise, I thought there were already three hundred elites waiting for me outside."

······
"I really want to take you,"

Roman rolled his eyes, but he didn't expect that there were people who thought exactly the same.

"I'm enough alone!"

"Then..." Nicole Robin spread her hands, "Do you want to do it?"

······
"Let's go, I've fulfilled my promise."

After the nearby King Cobra turned the mechanism to close the tomb, Roman and the middle-aged king decisively turned and left, leaving Nicole Robin with a stunned face.

-------

"Of course I believe you, Roman."

"But that woman named 'Nicole Robin'..."

After the two came out of the royal tomb, they walked all the way to the north of the palace.Compared with the uninhabited west side, these are simply five steps per person, ten steps and one whistle!There are even soldiers lying on the ground listening to the underground to prevent those capable of burrowing. Although in front of a real expert, such defense is just a waste of effort, but——

"Your Majesty, please show your password."

"newborn."

"Please pass, Your Majesty."

Well, in the face of serious soldiers, Roman naturally wouldn't say something unpleasant like 'You're just doing useless work'.

"Do not worry,"

Roman took over the topic of King Cobra just now.

"I know Nicole Robin quite well. As I said before, she's not a careerist, she's just a simple archaeologist. Besides—"

Thinking of my own hint, with that woman's dedication to the 'historical text', most of them will choose to get on Luffy's ship...

"It won't be long before Uncle will see the news of her joining the Straw Hats in the newspaper."

???

"Ok, I trust you."

Although it is not the behavior of a king to be so emotional, but - Neferutali Cobra is a great monarch who loves his people like sons and is dedicated to his people.

"Your Majesty,"

"Mr. Roman,"

As Cobra and Roman entered the heavily guarded building, Ikalem, the captain of the palace guard with curly blond hair, greeted them.Well, he is the baroque studio cadre Mr.8 whom he met in Whiskey Hill.The surface was blasted into the sea by Robin, but in fact the other party let him live.

This room is filled with all kinds of experimental equipment, huge water tanks, and various pipes!
"Someone once said that 'technology is the primary productive force',"

Roman came to a container that had been built according to his requirements. With a wave of his hand, sheets of special white paper fell into it, dividing the container into two sides.

"Even in this...world."

Roman nodded to a few old men who were at most 'craftsmen', not to mention scientists.As they pulled the valve, a huge amount of water poured into the container, then permeated the other side of the container, and finally came out of the faucet--

"Clear water!!"

"Is this really drinking water??"

"God, it's a miracle! It's a gift from God—"

In an instant, several old people laughed and danced as if possessed by magic, and even Ikalem, who had always been calm, trembled in his hands and feet.He stepped forward to take a glass of water, took a sip himself, and then brought it to King Cobra.

"Your Majesty, really—"

Gollum!

He grabbed the water glass and drank the liquid inside!

The middle-aged king closed his eyes and felt silently for a while, then suddenly opened his eyes!Turning to Roman Reigns—

boom,
Kneel down.

"Mr. Roman, on behalf of the millions of Alabastas—"

"Thank you! Thank you...Thank you very much!!"

The only thing that can make the king of a country so excited is:
Seawater desalination technology.

"Hey, hey, get up," said Roman, who forcibly helped him up, twitched the corners of his mouth, "If Weiwei sees this, she will beat me up!"

Of course, just kidding.

"Technology is the primary productive force." Facing the 'reverse osmosis' desalination device in front of him, Roman snapped his fingers.

wow~~
Pieces of white paper flew out of Roman's body and folded into a neat square in the room.Let others around look at these white papers as if they are looking at gold!
Paper Dance - Clean Water (Chapter No.17)

In fact, the devil fruit is not only used for fighting, but also a bug in people's livelihood!Originally, it was only the method that Roman used to purify seawater on the Golden Merry, if it was used on a large scale in Alabasta...
"However, it is impossible for me to stay in Alabasta for a long time."

"So, you still need to test out the appropriate filter material by yourself. Before that, you can use the paper I made to top it."

Roman pointed to another 'disc solar distiller' next to him, "The solar energy method, with your vast coastline in Alabasta and sufficient sunlight exposure, is actually the easiest and most convenient method of desalination."

"Although I don't want to question your traditions, just waiting for the old days to rain is not the kind of tolerance a human being should have."

With these, even if there is another sand crocodile, it will not cause this situation.

Man will conquer the sky!

This is the secret of human beings standing on top of all things.
