Behind the scenes of One Piece

The evil dragon gang was defeated by Luffy and the others!

The mountain that had been dominating the villagers for a long time was overthrown!

As the village garrison of Cocosia Village and the de facto village chief, the thing that Ajian is most worried about at the moment is how to prepare a grand celebration banquet.

One is to reward the warriors who defeated the evil dragon;

The second is to inspire the villagers who have endured for many years;

In every sense of the word, this is a significant banquet.

But the problem is that the ingredients needed to hold the banquet are still far behind.

It's not that the villagers are unwilling to prepare, but there really isn't much rich food.

Ever since the evil dragon took over the village, it didn't know how to manage but only plundered. The financial resources of the villagers have been getting worse and worse, and now everyone is living a tight life.

When he was worried, he suddenly saw the young man with small eyes in a tuxedo from the Straw Hats walking towards him.

"Mr. Ajian, a merchant ship has brought the ingredients needed for the banquet. Please ask someone to pick them up."

"What? The ingredients came by themselves?" Ajian couldn't believe his ears.

Gu Li smiled and said: "The merchant ship is parked at the entrance of the village. You will know when you go over and take a look."

Ajian followed Guli to the village entrance with hesitation, and was immediately stunned by the sight in front of him.

A very large merchant ship that seemed to have an entire pavilion on top.Each of the four huge chimneys erected on the ship is like a tall tower.

"Is such a huge ship really a merchant ship?" Ajian was so excited that he couldn't believe it. After all, he hadn't seen such a big ship in more than ten years.

"This is the Cole, which is the main ship of the largest independent caravan in the East China Sea." Guli replied.

Later, the two saw ten transport ships slowly sailing out from the rear of the merchant ship and lining up on the shore.

On the transport ship at the front stood the silver-haired old man Jacques Cole. Next to Cole was Deya, Coulee's loyal subordinate.

"Captain Guli, I rushed over immediately after receiving your call." Jacques Cole came up and smiled.

Guli was also a little flattered and hurriedly went up to shake hands with the other party: "Mr. Cole, this time it is really troublesome for you. I just sent some ingredients. Just send someone."

"Hey, if it was someone else's call, I would naturally send someone here. But for your call, I have to come and see it in person." Jacques Cole said while looking at the surrounding scenery: "This village's The scenery is nice and the potential is great. If it weren’t for the evil dragon gang entrenched here, I should have come here more than ten years ago!"

After saying this, he leaned close to Gu Li's ear and whispered: "To tell you the truth, when you boasted about wanting the territory of the Dragon in Haikou a few days ago, old man, I didn't take it seriously.

But now that you have done what you said, it's different.In my mind, Captain Guli, you have become one of the most worthy friends to work with. "

Guli took advantage of the situation and said: "Since Mr. Cole approves it so much, can we sponsor some ingredients for the banquet we are holding this time?"

Jacques Cole patted his chest and said, "Of course, one of the ten ships behind will be full of ingredients. This time it will be given away for free. I look forward to our cooperation in Cocosia Village."

Ajian listened a little confused and couldn't help but interject: "I'm sorry, I have to pay attention to the affairs of Cocosia Village. What kind of cooperation will there be?"

Guli then solemnly explained: "The geographical location of Cocosia Village is very good, and the land and products are rich. The lives of the villagers have become worse and worse in recent years. In fact, it is mainly caused by the evil dragon group."

Jian nodded: "So we have planned to rebuild the entire village, but we have no specific plan yet."

Guli said: "If we rebuild, we will need money and various materials."

When it comes to money, Ajian becomes embarrassed.

If the villagers are allowed to fish, raise sheep, plant orange trees, etc., there will be no problem.But it is indeed more difficult to get money.

Seeing his hesitation, Gu Li knew that he was thinking wrong, and immediately explained: "Building a village requires a lot of money at the beginning. I know that Nami has saved [-] million beli..."

When Ah Jian heard this, he immediately shook his head and said, "That's a little girl, but you can't make any plans with your hard-earned money!"

Guli said: "Nami will definitely keep the money to build the village, but this is a matter between you and her, Mr. Ajian. What I want to say is that I can spend [-] million beli to purchase various materials."

Before Ajian could react, Jacques Cole, who was next to him, had already pointed behind him: "These are the seeds of various crops, wood and stones for construction, and a wide variety of tools that Captain Guli purchased, enough for twenty It’s needed for the reconstruction of a village!”

Twenty villages!

Ajian immediately understood that Guli had considered the reconstruction of all villages occupied by evil dragons.

But he is also someone who has seen the market and knows that the other party cannot invest so much money in vain.

"With so much money invested, what do you want?"

Guli said: "I want to invest another [-] million beli to build a port nearby to facilitate the berthing of various merchant ships. Building a port has both disadvantages and advantages, but the advantages always outweigh the disadvantages..."

"I know." Ajian nodded, indicating that Gu Li didn't need to explain in detail.

When he was young, he also worked outside and was well-informed.

Once this port is built, there will be a steady flow of merchant ships coming and going frequently.The disadvantage is that all kinds of people will come here, and the pressure on public security will inevitably increase; there are many advantages, the biggest of which is that the income of the villagers will increase a lot.

After weighing the two, Ajian chose to agree without hesitation: "The villagers in Cocosia are not old-fashioned. We have lived in poverty for too long. We will definitely welcome the construction of a new port!"

"That's good!" Guli clapped his hands and praised, and then pulled Deya out and introduced him to Ajian:

"Deya is my deputy. He will lead a group of brothers to run a caravan nearby and sell the village's oranges, mutton and other specialties to other places in the East China Sea. He will also sell porcelain, silk, tea and other specialties from other places. Transport it back to the port and sell it. He can also arrange for some brothers to help Mr. Ajian maintain law and order!"

Ajian nodded.

Rebuilding villages and building ports are certainly excellent things, but these two things are not enough. Only with more and more serious merchant ships like Deya can the port prosper and the lives of the villagers improve.

The more they talked, the more they couldn't stop talking, and they were all excited about the future of Cocosia Village.

"However, it seems that our roles are not enough." Jacques Cole suddenly said: "If you want to develop the village and port, you must have the help of the navy. At least, the navy cannot hold back."

As soon as the navy was mentioned, Ajian's expression suddenly changed: "The navy in charge of our area is the 16th branch. Their leader, Colonel Mouse, is an out-and-out rotten person! He will definitely hold us back!"
