Beyond the door is One Piece

Vegapunk doesn't mind if his technological creations are destroyed, and he's not a man with a strong desire for control.

But it would be difficult for ordinary people to destroy what he created, especially the sword that was fused with a devil fruit.

The strength of these swords is comparable to that of a large sword, and even if it is damaged or shortened to several sections, the Devil Fruit's ability can still be maintained.

After all, swords are not human, and there is no concept of death. Even if they are broken, they can be repaired.

But now, the elephant fruit is completely back.

In other words, this sword is dead!

Vegapunk was keenly aware that there was something happening in the sea that he didn't understand.

Soon, Zhan Taomaru came in holding a thick stack of newspapers.

Vegapunk only has the most recent ones, but what Zhan Momomaru brings is all that Vegapunk has not seen, and it is the volume of the past six months.

"World Economic News, World News..."

Vegapunk glanced around and saw information worth noting.

"What is this bounty hunter's union?" Vegapunk asked.

"It's an organization created by Crocodile to serve bounty hunters." Zhan Taomaru said.

"Krokdal?" Vegapunk frowned. Does he have such a brain?

"What is this?" He noticed a pile of newspapers that he had never seen before.

"Oh, this is a new newspaper company called Fanxingshe. It has a wide distribution range. It was included in the navy's newspaper purchasing list half a year ago."

"Fanxing Entertainment Newspaper!" Vegapunk just read the first copy and realized that this newspaper was not simple.

After all, the general trend of the world is that if we divide for a long time, we will unite, and if we unite for a long time, we will divide. This is not something that ordinary people can say.

The above song "Linjiang Immortal" cannot be written by ordinary people.

It's hard to believe that in this day and age, there are still people who can write such good poems.

The language is still in ancient Chinese.

Of course Vegapunk understands ancient Chinese, but there are still large passages of text that he doesn’t understand, so he has to use the comments below to understand them.

"What period does this Three Kingdoms refer to?" Vegapunk asked.

"Well, it should be based on the history of the Kingdom of Alabasta! This newspaper belongs to Alabasta." Zhan Momowan thought for a while and then said: "After all, Alabasta has a history of more than 4000 years!"

"Really!" Vegapunk nodded and asked, "Did they explain it this way, or do you think so?"

"Well, no one explained it. We also tried sending letters to the newspaper, but no one responded."

"I see!" Vegapunk nodded and asked, "So, is this novel very popular outside?"

"Yes!" Zhan Momomaru nodded: "Everyone in the entire Navy Headquarters who knows how to read reads it. Now it is finished. When it was still being serialized, everyone had to bring sentences and lines from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms when chatting. Otherwise it will be difficult to communicate with people.”

"Is that so?" Vegapunk nodded, understandably.

After all, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is not only a story-telling story, but also uses a language that seems to be older than ancient Chinese. Isn’t it the language used by nobles among nobles?

When reading this novel, I feel as if the nobles and I are reading the same text.

Not only does the obscurity not raise the threshold for reading, it actually makes people flock to it even more.

After putting down the first issue, Vegapunk continued to look back.

He saw the rise of a chamber of commerce called Fanxing, which launched an electrical appliance called a tape recorder, a thing called a battery, and a tape that could store sounds in it.

He saw that an organization called the Bounty Hunters Guild was rapidly expanding in the great hangar, and their banner was actually freedom, justice, and unity?

The headquarters of the Bounty Hunter Guild is in Alabasta, and the registered address of "Star Entertainment News" is also in Alabasta. There are news everywhere in this newspaper, but the situation in Alabasta is not mentioned at all...

Vegapunk is almost certain that something must have happened in Alabasta, and the leader will not be Crocodile.

Even Crocodile is just a pawn in it.

Because he knew that Crocodile did not have the brains and structure to do such a big thing.

"So the return of the Elephant Fruit was actually because a pirate group broke into Judiciary Island?" Vegapunk saw the wanted order issued by the navy again.

Daz Bones in the wanted poster has a stern face and looks murderous.

But Vegapunk knew that he was just a user with the Quick Slash Fruit ability, and he didn't have the ability to kill that sword.

"Robin, the Crazy Pirates, CP9..." Vegapunk thought there must be a special relationship between the three.

But the lack of key information made it impossible for him to connect these clues.

"Interesting!" Vegapunk smiled. He felt that an incredible force had appeared in this sea!

And looking at what they did, it was obvious that they were not on the same page as the World Government.

He has a steady and steady style, he can disguise himself, and his technological level is not bad either.

This force poses a much greater threat than the revolutionary army!

And the most terrifying thing is that the World Government has not yet realized the danger of this organization, and only regards it as an ordinary force under the command of the Shichibukai.

"If it weren't for this Elephant Fruit, I wouldn't have discovered these things!" Vegapunk praised, then took out the Elephant Fruit and placed it in the most confidential location to prevent it from being discovered by people from the World Government.

With his talent, he can be a guest wherever he goes.

With his technology and combat power, even a single world government could not trap him, but he still stayed in the world government.

Firstly, it was for the almost endless funds of the World Government, and secondly, it was also because he could not find a force that could accomplish anything in this sea.

But now, this situation is starting to change.

Of course, Fanxing Society is still just a bud, and whether it can succeed or not depends on subsequent development.

"Come on!"

~~~~~~~

"I feel like someone is praising me for being handsome!" At the grand promotion ceremony, Kobra solemnly handed the seal to Zhou Qi.

"From today on, you will be the Minister of Industry of Alabasta!" Cobra said seriously: "I hope you can lead Alabasta to go further and further on the road of industry!"

"I will work hard!" Zhou Qi nodded.

Cobra looked at the young man in front of him with deep eyes. Zhou Qi's rise to power was not smooth sailing. When he proposed it before, at least twenty nobles expressed protest.

After all, why should such an important position be given to an outsider, or such a young person?

The next day, these nobles could not go out. Either their legs were broken, they were poisoned, and some simply died.

It was obvious that this young man was not as harmless as he seemed.

But he had no choice, and Zhou Qi's promotion was the result of Princess Weiwei's strong recommendation.

He could only hope that Weiwei had not seen the wrong person.

After the ceremony, Zhou Qi changed into the uniform of the Minister of Industry, which was a tights with blue as the main color and a blue cape.

The overall feeling is a bit old-fashioned.

"It suits you quite well!" Weiwei's eyes lit up when she saw Zhou Qi walking in the Government Affairs Hall of Alabasta: "I didn't expect you to have such a good figure?"

"I'm not someone who doesn't work hard and doesn't distinguish between grains and grains. I never give up on exercise, okay!" Zhou Qi was speechless, but sat down next to Weiwei, and then looked around.

This government affairs office was built with drawings and materials purchased by Zhou Qi from Hyundai. Not only were the windows bright and clean, but it was also connected to electricity. There were large projectors inside and computers in front of everyone.

It is no different from a modern office building.

However, the power plant in Alabasta has not yet been built, so we can only use the electricity from the Daystar Pharmaceutical Factory.

At this time, there were already several people sitting in the conference room.

"Let me introduce to you, Minister of Environment Kosa, Minister of Education Morihe, Minister of Agriculture and Forestry Tatora, Minister of Oceans Qiao Lin, I am also the Minister of Transportation, and you, Minister of Industry, all the department leaders under my control are here. Come on!" Weiwei's voice was not filled with contentment, she could only be said to be very calm.

When she was a princess, she didn't feel it before. When she started to participate in government affairs, she discovered that their various powers in Alabasta had been almost divided up by the nobles, and the little that belonged to Cobra was pitiful.

Alabasta's high-level authority structure consists of prefectures, provinces, and departments from top to bottom.

The government is divided into two types: the central government and the local government. The head of the central government is called the governor. His powers are similar to those of the prime minister and the president. He is a very powerful being.

Local governments are local governments. Their departmental structure is similar to that of the central government, but they are under the jurisdiction of the central government.

Therefore, there is only one central government, while there are as many local governments as there are cities.

Because the lord of the Central Palace has too much power, it is usually held concurrently by the king. The current lord of the Central Palace is King Kobra.

Under the two governments, there are 10 provinces. This province is similar to our ministry.

In order: Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Labor, Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, Ministry of Environment, Ministry of Defense, and Ministry of Police.

The head of a province is the minister. For example, the boss of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications is the Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications, and the boss of the Ministry of Justice is the Minister of Justice.

Among these ten provinces, the power of seven provinces, including the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Labor, the Ministry of Defense, and the Ministry of Police, is actually in the hands of the nobles, and the power of the Alabasta royal family is actually in the hands of the nobles. There are only three: Ministry of Education, Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry and Ministry of Environment!

These three provinces are one province in name, but in fact they are no different than they do not exist.

Because there is no universal education in Alabasta, and even the nobles only attend their own private schools, the main power of the Ministry of Education is to manage various newspapers and media across the country.

Agriculture, forestry and the environment are even worse. 70% of Alabasta's land is desert, and the remaining part that is not desert is not very fertile. Alabasta's agricultural output value is quite low, and there is no agriculture, forestry and environment at all.

In other words, these three departments were all trash departments that no one wanted, so they were not targeted by the nobles.

After Weiwei joined politics, she proposed to establish the Ministry of Maritime Affairs, the Ministry of Transportation, and the Ministry of Industry. The number of available departments was increased from three to six.

Six versus seven, it seems like half of them are there, but these six departments are basically departments that need to be built from scratch. The total number of people in the six departments now does not exceed 100.

This is the result of Weiwei's efforts. After all, this is a dynasty that has been passed down for thousands of years. At the end of the dynasty, just ask Chongzhen how many people the emperor can still use.

"In the past few months, I have not been able to eat well or sleep well. Every day I wake up, there are countless tasks waiting for me. Every day I worry about whether what I am doing is right and whether it will cause too much damage. The influence..." Weiwei looked at Zhou Qi with tears in her eyes, and Kou Sha next to her was very sad.

"Finally, you came to help me!"

Zhou Qi coughed dryly: "What, what do you say about whether to help or not? I have no experience in politics. Let's learn together and make progress together!"

"Yeah!" Weiwei nodded excitedly immediately.

Let's learn together, hehe...

Although doing this seems to be making fun of the country, in the past, there was nothing but exploitation by the nobles in Alabasta. The lives of the people could not be said to be in dire straits, but they were not much different.

Already at the bottom of the valley, no matter how you go, you are going up.

And although Zhou Qi is not a professional, he has seen and heard too much. At least he knows which policies are good, which policies are bad, and which policies may be infamy for thousands of years.

"Then, let's start the meeting!" Zhou Qi raised his head and looked at everyone: "First, let's talk about your investigation in the past few months! Kosha, you go first!"

Kou Sha definitely likes Weiwei, but Zhou Qi doesn't hate him.

After all, Qingmei is no match for Tiansheng, and I am that Tiansheng.

It's probably because he hates me!

"Uh..." Kosha was stunned for a moment, then quickly picked up the document and stood up.

He can't do PPT, so he can only talk by mouth.

"I am responsible for Alabasta's environmental affairs. After my investigation over the past few months, I discovered a sensational fact!" Kosha said: "The desert in Alabasta was not this big hundreds of years ago. According to book records from 760 years ago, the desert at that time was only 760 kilometers wide. However, due to neglect and lack of rainfall, the desert has been expanding without limit. After [-] years, the desert expanded almost tens of thousands of times. Among them, countless cities and villages have perished due to the desert, and many existing cities have also transformed from oasis cities to current desert cities!"

"If we continue to allow the desert to expand, maybe in another 200 years, Alabasta will no longer exist in this world, and there will only be a desert left!"

"Is there such a thing?" Zhou Qi was shocked. He couldn't imagine that a desert could directly expand to the entire country, and during the whole process, there was no management or any obstruction?

Turning to look at Weiwei, Weiwei's face was a little red, but she still had to explain that she was a princess after all, and it was her direct ancestor who allowed the desert to expand before.

"In the past, our royal family didn't have such a great sense of responsibility, and in our view, the expansion of the desert is a natural behavior. How can human power stop it?" At this point, Weiwei's expression became a little unbelievable: "But I Unexpectedly, there is a country that can manage the desert for decades, and even directly manage the desert into a protected area..."

...

"And you can't blame us. Is it possible that our attitude is normal?" Weiwei looked at Zhou Qi again: "There are a lot of deserts over there, and how many countries have you managed? Where is this?"

Ah this....

What you said makes sense. It seems that only China is serious about managing deserts and restoring vegetation.

Other desert areas can at most develop seawater desalination to control deserts?Is it bad that I have money to buy luxury cars and planes?

Anyway, no matter how bad the environment is, it won’t affect oil mining, right?

One government has a sense of responsibility and the other does not. As a result, both are the birthplace of ancient civilization. The Yellow River is still nurturing the people on both sides of the river, but the Nile River and Mesopotamia have long since become a desert...

"Okay, kings in the past, just think that they didn't have a reference point and didn't know how to be a qualified king. But now that you have this reference point, there is no reason to do nothing anymore!" Zhou Qi said with a smile. : "Come on, maybe a hundred years from now, you will be called a saint!"

"Hmm..." Weiwei smiled awkwardly, Holy Lord?

I actually want to be a faint king, the kind where the spring night is short and the sun rises high, and the king will not go to court early from now on.

She herself didn't know whether she was working so hard to make the country a better place or to get Zhou Qi's recognition.

"Since the situation is so serious, the control of desertification is obviously urgent!" Zhou Qidao: "From today on, the biggest task of your Ministry of Environment is this."

"Yes!" Kosha originally wanted to say that everyone is a minister. I am more senior than you, so why do you order me.

But when I looked at Weiwei again, she stared at Zhou Qi without blinking...

It hurts, I am frustrated in my love life, and I am also frustrated in my official career...
