Pirates: The first partner is Tom cat

Chapter 1001 I'll Help You Share Some of the Burden

In April of 1513 in the Haiyuan calendar, more than a month had passed since the establishment of the new World United Government.

As one of the initiators, King Cobra of Alabasta has been very busy during this period.

On this day, the sky over Alabasta was gloomy. Cobra took a break from his busy schedule and took advantage of the good weather to sneak out of the palace with his daughter to play.

——Yes, cloudy days are considered good weather in Alabasta.

It has been a while since the father and daughter have been so comfortable traveling together.

"Vivi, you seem to be smiling all the time." Cobra was secretly happy. It seemed that his decision to accompany Vivi out to play was the right one.

"Yeah, I can already imagine Ikalem going crazy when he finds out you're missing."

Weiwei couldn't control the smile on her face. It would be very interesting when she returned. "Is it really okay for you to just leave all that official business?"

"Ah..." Cobra's face fell, his little cotton-padded jacket was a little leaky, "The king also needs a vacation..."

"Forget about that, let's go to the Santo River first." Cobra said, "The Santo Oasis No. 7 that Mr. Binz is in charge of is almost completed, so we can go and take a look."

"Let's see who gets there first!" Weiwei signaled Kalu to run faster.

"Okay, I won't lose to you!" Cobra also smiled and urged the fast duck he was riding to catch up.

Binz didn't like the task of planting trees in Alabasta at first. He preferred to fight and catch pirates like his comrades.

But recently he seems to like planting trees more and more.

In the desolate desert, I sowed seeds and planted saplings with my own hands, and then used my abilities to encourage them to grow quickly, creating an entire oasis bit by bit...

The joy of harvest is simply the highest enjoyment in the world.

Coupled with the happy smiles of the people who assisted him, Binz felt that his current job might be more meaningful than catching pirates.

"Mr. Binz, is this oasis really going to be allocated to us to live in?"

Binz replied: "Of course, His Majesty said it himself, so he can't be wrong."

The person asking the question was a merman. He was one of the merman who voluntarily volunteered to migrate here after Princess Otohime's last visit to Alabasta.

After arriving in Alabasta, these fishmen have been helping to dig canals and build oases. Considering that fishmen would be more comfortable living near water, Cobra decided to give them the newly built oasis on the banks of the Santo River to build a town.

Of course, the fish-men who moved to Alabasta were only a small part. The official relocation plan for Fish-Man Island began after the World United Government was up and running.

The destination is a small island located in the doldrums, not far from Daughter Island.

After the Empress decided to lead the Nine Snakes to join the United Government, Fishman Island also cooperated with the Nine Snakes with the help of Jinbe's front-line bridge.

It is said that they intend to establish a shipping company, taking advantage of the easy passage through the doldrums and the strong military forces of both sides.

Neptune and Otohime did not restrict the residents' freedom to choose where to move. Although most of them chose to continue to follow the king and princess, some chose to go to Alabasta, and even fewer chose to stay on Fishman Island.

Cobra welcomed this with great enthusiasm. The fishmen were all experts in infrastructure and fisheries. The bars and cafes opened by the mermaids were also very popular. As the king, he was naturally very happy.

Cobra chose this place on purpose today, on the one hand to accompany Vivi to play, and on the other hand to inspect the progress of the project and see how the merfolk and civilians get along.

But when the father and daughter arrived at the edge of the oasis, what they saw was not the mermen, but a familiar cat-head flag on the Santo River.

Cobra looked at the boat approaching the shore and said, "That is..."

Weiwei cheered, “Everyone!”

"Quack~" Kalu happily carried her towards the river bank.

The little girls who saw Weiwei had already flown off the boat and hugged each other. Kalu, who was surrounded, stretched his neck to look at his good friend, Teacher Tom.

Others got off the ship and greeted Cobra. Zhang Da also said, "You guys came so quickly. The port should have just reported it not long ago, right?"

"Ah, well..." Cobra was a little embarrassed. It didn't seem to be a glorious thing for a king to sneak out. "We came out early."

Weiwei mercilessly dismantled her father's words: "Yes, he mentioned it before the port report!"

Everyone laughed.

Cobra changed the subject: "In that case, why don't we go to the newly built oasis together? When we return, the palace will be almost ready for the banquet."

"It's such a large oasis, and the construction progress is very encouraging."

"Thanks to Mr. Binz and many of my fish-man friends for their help."

As they walked and looked around, they naturally exchanged greetings when they met Binz. The fish people also looked at the Amber Tour Group with admiration and gratitude.

After chatting for a while, Zhang Da also asked: "You must be very busy recently? I heard that the New World Government is developing very well."

"Yes, now more and more countries are joining the United Government, and the number of member countries has far exceeded the previous World Government." Cobra said, "But because of this, we kings are getting busier and busier."

Zhang Da also said, "In that case, how about we help you share some of the work?"

"Really? That's great!" Cobra was overjoyed. This was a strong and reliable ally. "What kind of work do you plan to participate in? Fight crime? Help poor countries? Or help with liaisons and negotiations?"

"Uh...neither." Zhang Da said shamelessly, "I mean I can help you take care of Weiwei for a while."

"..." Cobra's face darkened instantly. If the person who said this was not Zhang Daye, his fist might have been smashed. Is this human language? !

Weiwei is very happy. It seems that she can go out to sea with everyone again?

"It's like this..." Zhang Da also hurriedly explained the reason, and by the way emphasized some high-sounding reasons such as digging tunnels would help strengthen exchanges around the world.

After Cobra thought about it carefully, he found that it seemed to make sense?

No, this person said nice things but he actually wanted to capture Weiwei and make her do hard labor!
After taking a look at his beloved daughter who was eager to leave right away, Cobra patted his forehead and said, "Okay, no need to think about it."

The Amber Tour Group did not stay in Alabasta for too long because they received a call saying that Mori had already set off and would reach Red Harbor in seven days at most.

Zhang Daye and his friends had a few meals and then immediately set off with Weiwei.

However, the next destination is not Red Harbor, but the Sabaody Archipelago.

Zhang Da also wanted to go and see Uncle Goodman and his family, and at the same time he wanted to hire some construction workers - for a large project like a tunnel, without some professional guidance, he was worried that landslides would occur.

The Goodman family welcomed the arrival of the Amber Tour Group.

Goodman patted Zhang Daye on the shoulder and praised him loudly for a job well done. He also wanted to brag about how he was when he was young, but he would occasionally get stuck in an awkward manner.

The truth is that what the group of people actually did was beyond his imagination when he was bragging, so it was difficult for him to organize his words.

Fortunately, Shark Chili brought the topic to ship repair, and Uncle Long also brought up the issue of educating children.

When it comes to his profession and his responsibilities as a father, Goodman is no longer sleepy. He pours wine for the guests and himself and talks incessantly.

Mrs. Molly was chatting with the girls enthusiastically, and she would quietly ask the little girls whether Zhang Da liked Altria or Rui Mengmeng, and what the other two girls thought.

Little Baier has grown a lot taller in the past two years, and his personality is as lively as before. He likes to play with Tom as before.

In addition, with Tom's permission, he was qualified to ride Kalu out for fun, and the real owner Vivi was often forgotten by Kalu.

No matter which time he comes here, Zhang Da always feels very cordial.

Maybe it’s because this is the first place I’ve settled since coming to this world, or maybe it’s because no matter how well I do outside, this family’s attitude has not changed at all.

They can probably be considered as my family in this world.

……

"An expert in construction? That's easy." Goodman agreed to Zhang Daye's request. "Leave the workers to me as well. In fact, we can just find the workers in our shipyard."

Shipbuilders are the best workers in the world. They can do almost anything that has something to do with shipbuilding, including construction.

With the help of Goodman, Zhang Da quickly recruited enough workers - a very important factor was that the salary was high enough and the employer was Amber Travel Group.

In fact, Zhang Da is now quite prestigious, otherwise these workers would not want to participate in such a ridiculous-sounding project.

It takes no more than half an hour to travel from Shampoo and Politics to Red Harbor, and it can be even faster if you take the Anthem.

If necessary, workers can even go home for lunch and rest at noon and come back later.

When everyone arrived at Red Harbor, they were shocked because the giant Mori was already waiting there.

The shocking point is not that the other party is a giant, but that he is a "new human", commonly known as a shemale.

Can you imagine a muscular man over ten meters tall with a full beard, shyly pinching the hem of your skirt, and reminding you in a rough but gentle voice "Don't peek under other people's skirts"?

Zhang Da also pinched his brows. He should have brought Brook along earlier to give the old pervert a little spiritual shock, even though he has no heart. Yo hoo hoo~
Zhang Da also patted his cheeks. Oh no, he was so shocked just now that he even told himself a skeleton joke.

"Hello, you are Mori...right?" Zhang Da didn't know whether to address him as Mr. or Miss, so he could only vaguely say, "I'll leave it to you this time."

"Ah~ You actually called me by my name~" Mori said shyly, "I am Mori, Mr. Long asked me to come and help."

"Hmm..." Zhang Da also tried to control his emotions, "Thank you for your hard work. Now let's go choose a site."

……

The tunnel was chosen to be located about 20 minutes' sailing distance from Red Harbor. If it was dug too close, it would encounter the roots of Eve, the giant tree at the top of the Red Earth Continent.

In fact, even at such a long distance, there are still roots distributed. If Zhang Da lets Weiwei dig directly, he is worried that it will damage the roots and affect the ecological environment near Fishman Island.

This requires Mori's ability. He can push the soil and Eve's roots to the side and create a passage in the middle.

The ability of the Push-Push Fruit allows you to choose to close the soil again after pushing it away, or just push it away.

When Mori pushes open the passage, Vivi and the workers will follow, continue to widen the passage, and transport the sand crushed by Vivi's ability out of the cave.

With the help of two powerful people, the tunnel excavation progressed rapidly, and the workers were also working hard to do some necessary reinforcement work.

It’s a pity that there has been no news from Wapol, otherwise we could have saved a lot of effort in transporting sand out of the cave.

The other members of the Amber Travel Group were not idle either. Some helped out and some ordered the flag demon to do something.

The most powerful ones are Zhang Daye and Wendy, who can provide everyone with strength and speed buffs, greatly speeding up the construction progress.

The one who is even more capable than the other two is Tom. If you give him a wheelbarrow, he can push away sand piled dozens of meters high in one breath. Moreover, the towering sand is piled into a cone with a very steep slope, and it shakes when you move it.

In the blink of an eye, two months passed, and an ultra-large tunnel with a width and height of 400 meters that passed through the red soil continent smashed the stone walls reserved at both ends of the cave entrance.

The sea water rumbled in, and the front and back ends of the Grand Line were officially connected together.

It is said that such a passage would cause certain changes in the ocean currents between Paradise and the New World, which in turn might affect the weather, but how exactly that would happen is not yet clear.

Zhang Da only knew that he had once promised to find a way to help Lab and Brook return to the West Sea together, and now his promise had finally been fulfilled. Although a large amount of gold reserves had been reduced, it was worth it.

Everyone happily drank a celebratory drink on the Anthem, and the Newsbird spread the big news to all parts of the world.

Countless people want to use their connections to contact Amber Travel Group to find out whether this channel is open to everyone.

Especially the Empress and Jinbe who recently opened a shipping company.

Zhang Da had already thought about this. If the tunnel was left unattended, it would definitely cause chaos, so he simply entrusted it to the revolutionary army for management. After all, Mori had contributed a lot, and Weiwei of course had a part to play as well.

By then, even if each person's toll was the price of a newspaper, it would still be a considerable amount of money.

If the World United Government is willing to devote energy to subsequent maintenance, it can also participate.

Let them discuss the specific ways of cooperation among themselves, and Zhang Da didn't care whether to build more passages in other places in the future.

I believe that after operating for a period of time, they will naturally understand that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads.

After completing the big project and pushing all the troubles to others, Zhang Da and his companions embarked on the journey back to the Seven Water City - the construction of Amber Island was almost finished.

As soon as he returned to the Seven Water City, Zhang Da heard a piece of news that made him unhappy.

"I'm ashamed to say that I actually want to leave the Amber Tour Group."

Perona was surprised and asked, "Uncle Yixiao, what are you talking about?"

Wendy's eyes were filled with tears: "So sudden, why..."

Yixiao wants to join the army.

The new navy, or maritime security maintenance force, is different from the previous navy.

Without the constraints of the World Government, they really intend to eradicate all pirates. However, they are currently short of manpower and their progress is slow.

Because of this, many member states were still not protected. So after consulting the coalition government, a conscription notice was issued.

In fact, the king of heaven Uranus that I set is the sun tree Eve, and its function of transmitting sunlight to Fishman Island is actually just a secondary role.

The real Eve is actually a star that relies on sunlight to accumulate energy. Once a limit is reached, it can destroy an island in one shot.

However, relying solely on solar energy to accumulate energy is too slow, so it can only be used once in a very long time, so the World Government needs the energy source that Vegapunk is researching, which is the Mother Flame.

Then Uranus is a plant, Neptune is an animal, and Pluto is a machine, which is good.

——Because it’s a bit outrageous and I was worried about being embarrassed, I simply didn’t write it down.
