Pirate's Sword Tower Tavern

Here is the Kingdom of Alabasta on the Grand Line.

With the joint efforts of everyone in the kingdom, as well as the help from the Sabaody Islands' Dota Chamber of Commerce, the environment in the kingdom has begun to show significant results.

Provided by the Dota Chamber of Commerce, there are machines that can convert seawater into fresh water, machines that can turn seawater into clouds, and so on. Looking at the content marked on the machine, it comes from an island called Surfing Island.

God knows why the island where these machines can be manufactured is not called Machinery Island.

However, this does not affect their use of the machine.

After a long period of development, although Alabasta is still mostly desert, the city that was originally an oasis has been able to tap water sources very quickly with the power of the "Sand Fruit".

Coastal cities were the first to develop. The heavy black clouds drifting from the sea dropped a lot of rain in these cities.

Water Man also seems to know that changing a desert does not happen overnight. Although he is very busy every day, he is not in a hurry for success.

"It's Crocodile."

"Hero."

"Thank you so much"

Walking on the street, with a cigarette in his mouth, "Krokdal" looked at the people around him who greeted him with an indifferent expression, and did not respond.

But even so, everyone who sees him will call him very enthusiastically, even if they don't get any response.

If it were before, the citizens of Alabasta would still think Crocodile was very scary. After all, he was a man who received the title of Shichibukai. But it is different now. He is not the hero who kills pirates with a wave of his hand, but for A hero who works hard to solve the desert crisis.

"The boss worked hard."

Walking into the rain banquet, the deputy manager of the casino saluted "Krokdal" respectfully.

Although I don’t know why the boss who has always been making money suddenly has a bad conscience, but as a Chinese from Alabasta, the deputy store manager also fully supports this good thing that benefits the country and the people.

"Ah."

After making a nasal sound, "Krokdal" finally responded and went back to his room.

Inside the spacious room, there is a huge map, but there are a lot of small flags on it, as well as various writing and drawing things.

"Krokdal" picked up a blue pen, drew a short line on it, and pulled out a flag.

"Another oasis has been built."

Water Man expressed great satisfaction with his results, especially with the cooperation of so many people, and their progress has never been interrupted.

This country is very poor, and the number of trees that need to be planted is definitely measured in tens of millions.

And even the richest rain land in the country, the most luxurious rain banquet in the rain land, has total assets of no more than 20 billion beli. These are just assets, and only half of them can really be used.

The price of an iron branch is 5 beli, and 2000 trees are 2000 million beli. However, trees cannot even save an abandoned oasis.

Even with the help of water people, the places flooded by sandstorms can be quickly cleaned up and water sources found, but without plants, they will soon be eroded by the desert again.

What the watermen and Kobra discussed was to allocate iron branches and trunks to each oasis according to its size, ensuring that enough trees were planted, and at the same time mobilizing citizens to open up wasteland in each oasis.

Opening up an oasis with water and trees can be considered a simple start, and the citizens who knew about it also signed up one after another. For a while, the people's cohesion reached an extremely high level.

Especially those who used to complain about the country and why the king was not inferior to him, they took action actively. In less than a year, less than one-tenth of the country's territory was suitable for people to live in. Now it has increased One-twentieth of the territory has been turned into an oasis and is booming.

All this is thanks to the help of the Dota Chamber of Commerce.

This is what Kobra said.

Without the machines provided by the Chamber of Commerce and the tree trunks provided by the Chamber of Commerce, how could they have planted so many trees, and how could they have greened the country?

"In the several rivers here, the speed of machines converting seawater into fresh water is too slow. Seawater will cause more serious soil erosion on the land. It seems that the water can only flow slowly, but it will be more difficult at the beginning. In about ten years, this country should More than half of the territory will be greened and rivers will be formed.”

The water man looked at the map, and various kinds of knowledge kept emerging in his mind. They were all copied from various people. Under such complicated circumstances, the amount of information that needed to be processed was indeed huge, and it was still difficult to understand. Fortunately, it is made of water and will not cause brain damage.

"The matter of greening is not difficult. Even without Crocodile's help, they would just spend more time digging out water sources. Kobra is indeed a good king, and he can actually bring the people together like this. That is to say , it actually doesn’t matter if there’s me next or not.”

The water man was quick to make a judgment.

This was what he expected.

Changing the environment, unless there is some special devil fruit in this world that can transform this desert into an oasis. For example, if a user with superhuman devil fruit ability who can make soil has awakened, he can directly use the fruit ability to transform this desert into an oasis. All the sand has turned into soil, otherwise we can only rely on a lot of manpower to do it step by step.

Although he "borrowed" the position of Crocodile Shichibukai, it actually did not play a big role. Apart from the initial appeal, it basically slowly transferred to Kobra's head.

Then, just do what Luo Yi discussed with him before.

Here is an island on the Grand Route. Crocodile is preparing a temporary base on this island and is constantly preparing for his plan.

It makes sense for him to let his men follow Fengxing.

In his eyes, his subordinates are still too weak.

Although he didn't know how strong Feng Xing was, he would definitely not be far behind. If he wanted to wander around on the Grand Route, he would definitely encounter many opponents.

By following her, his men can get some training and then come back to help him and defeat the Water Man.

That person will copy his own attack moves, but there is one thing. Crocodile thought about it carefully afterwards. If he guessed correctly, he needs to become a different person when using different moves.

In the battle with him, Crocodile was not hit by Haki. It was only because the other party could use the power of water and was very restrained from his fruit ability, which led to his failure, and there seemed to be a strange feeling at the time. The power of the fruit sealed his own fruit ability. It should be Luo Yi who did it.

Since this is the case, Crocodile felt that he could not defeat the opponent by himself, so he would bring a few helpers. However, the strength of the helpers should not be too weak, otherwise they would hinder him.

However, Crocodile doesn't hate the water man that much now, and is even a little grateful to him. Because of his actions, he has accumulated a very high popularity in Alabasta. By then, with a little trick, he will be able to take the throne. Instead.

"Newsbird, let's see what's going on."

After buying a newspaper, Crocodile saw the huge title on the title page and the familiar face.

"Your Majesty, the Shichibukai, has changed again. Crocodile resigned from the position of Shichibukai. Who is the new Shichibukai transform elf?"

"Nani"
