Pirate: I am Wang Lufei

Chapter 307 Business Development in Alabasta

"It's amazing that he has already regarded me as his master, but I don't really need such a weapon..."

Luffy sat cross-legged and looked at the dog in front of him.

"Turn it into a cannon for me."

he ordered.

This strange-looking dachshund instantly transformed into a heavy individual cannon.

"From a styling point of view, it is not suitable for Nami and Noki. It is too big. What is the positioning of this thing?"

Luffy thought while disassembling the gun.

Devil fruit weapons are indeed a very loss-making research and development. The weapons are very good and the devil fruits are very good. When the two are combined, they become a pile of garbage.

Very high-end garbage.

Just like the Devil Fruit Cannon in Luffy's hand, it loses the ability of humans to become stronger independently by eating Devil Fruit, which increases the probability of "weapon failure" for weapons.

Just like the cold before.

A gun that catches colds and fires shells uncontrollably when you sneeze.

This is completely unqualified for a weapon.

This is a failed product with vague positioning.

Devil Fruit weapons can indeed become stronger by upgrading their hardware, but why not simply make a better weapon?

Luffy finally decided to treat this thing as a pet and protector.

First transform this dog cannon into a dog gundam.

If in danger, the crew can get in and run away with the Dog Gundam, or fight back.

With the positioning, Luffy's thinking becomes much clearer.

First of all, the material is wood plus alloy.

Luffy held the dog cannon in one hand and went to find Minister Ikarem.

"Ikarem, I need a lot of super buoyant wooden boards and steel, and give me some craftsmen as helpers."

Super buoyancy boards are a special kind of wood in the pirate world. A small thin piece of wood can easily float people on the water. This kind of buoyancy boards are used in shipbuilding, houses and other places.

In this world, buoyancy experts calculate that the buoyancy of an ordinary person is 3, that of a huge sumo wrestler is 5, and that a super buoyant wooden board has a buoyancy of 13.

This is the unique super material science of this world.

As a ship, and just a wooden ship, it has extremely powerful impact and earthquake resistance. It can easily crash into a city, but the ship is unscathed. It can easily hit the earth from the sky, and the overall structure is only slightly damaged.

All come from this super buoyant wooden board.

"As for wages, please pay from my bank card."

"Mr. Luffy, I will find someone for you, but money is not necessary. You have already helped us a lot. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't even know there are so many agents lurking in the King's Army." Ika Lem waved Luffy down and rejected the money question.

"By the way, many oases have come to light recently, and the car dealerships in the oases are also being cleaned up one after another. By then, your funds may continue to rise."

"Well, okay, but it's useless for me to take so much money. Why not use it to reorganize business matters." Luffy suggested.

"A business matter?"

Weiwei yawned and walked over and asked curiously.

"Your Highness, you woke up very late today. This is so rude!" Ikarem educated Weiwei.

"Uh... I'm very sorry. I was too tired last night..." Weiwei just yawned when Ikarem's scolding tone made her sleepless.

"Weiwei has been studying the issue of Baroque Works with us recently, so don't be too harsh on her. She will stay up late for a long time." Luffy spoke for Weiwei.

"Is that so?" Ikarem looked at Vivi and then at Luffy.

"Ahem, okay~" He cleared his throat and adjusted it in a singing way.

"If that's the case, then I won't say anything else, but, Your Royal Highness, Your Majesty the King has decided that when the incident is over, you should hold the ceremony. Are you ready to give a speech?"

Icarem asked.

"Ritual... determination ceremony?" Weiwei's eyes widened.

Then he recalled the most important part of royal education.

Proclaiming his adulthood to the nation and giving a speech about the future, the king chose to postpone the ceremony because of the poor internal situation in Alabasta.

However, this day will still come.

Weiwei blinked her eyes and looked at Ikarem blankly, her face a little gray.

Never thought about it at all...at all.

Speech, give a speech in front of the whole country, what should you give a speech?

"It seems that you are completely unprepared, but the time is still far away, so you can think about it carefully. Moreover, this is a good thing. Alabasta, which has ended the civil strife, needs some exciting news." Ikalay Mu said.

Just like the navy chose to push Luffy out at his weakest stage and directly named the navy's new star, the new hero.

The weak Alabasta also needs Princess Vivi to give a speech to improve the centripetal force of the country and its people.

"Then...I'll take my leave now." Ikarem saluted the two of them, and then started his busy day.

Things have been happening one after another recently, and both King Kobra and Minister Ikarem have a lot to deal with.

Especially regarding the agents in the rebel army, it is not easy for them to deal with them directly, because Luffy has not yet finished dealing with the high-level gangs of Baroque Works.

"What should we do, Luffy, we have to give a speech to the whole country, there are so many people!" Weiwei cried sadly after Ikarem left.

"Gah?"

The big yellow duck popped out from the corner, rubbed against Weiwei's legs curiously, and then took a sip of the drink hanging around its neck.

"A princess like Weiwei is beautiful, cute, and kind, so just say whatever you want." Luffy said.

"When the time comes and we announce that we have smashed the Baroque Work Society's kleptocratic conspiracy, Alabasta will return to its original state and even become more united."

Luffy used to think that giving speeches was difficult, but when he gradually gained such heights, he would easily find that such things are not difficult.

As long as you have power and power, even if you whisper softly, someone will notice what you are saying, and they will listen with bated breath.

And most people are just fools, just like Crocodile said.

"I hate it, don't praise me in a roundabout way." Weiwei stammered.

He quickly changed the subject, "What are the business matters?"

"Didn't Dasqi complain that the prices were too high and there were fake and shoddy products? I thought, anyway, I just leave my money there. It would be good to spend it to rectify the market."

"Aren't we going to build water conservancy projects then? We can just do it in the name of the royal company." Luffy said.

"Okay, Luffy also knows a lot about business. Can he make Alabasta rich and powerful?"

Weiwei asked curiously, thinking that Luffy could create many jobs and wealth with just one idea.

"I don't have much business knowledge, but if Alabasta is prosperous... there are rich human resources and a large amount of cheap labor. These cheap labor will be an important advantage for Alabasta to develop its economy. We can enjoy the demographic dividend. …”

Luffy subconsciously answered the question.

"Population...dividend?" Weiwei asked Luffy strangely.

<divclass="contentadv">"Uh, well, we can open a large number of factories and recruit people to work."

"It feels... weird, but Alabasta does have a large population and is the country with the most people in the world. It's great, right? It's obviously a country in the desert and has disadvantages such as lack of water, but it has the largest population in the world. Population, everyone is working hard to survive." Weiwei said proudly.

Luffy looked at the proud Vivi with a smile. Vivi talked for a while, but Luffy looked a little embarrassed again. She gradually lowered her forehead and drew circles on the ground with her toes.

"Luffy... don't keep staring at me."

Vivi's earrings were red, and Luffy noticed that she also wore gold earrings, which looked very beautiful hanging there.

"Ah, did I make any strange expression?" Luffy asked without knowing why. He should be listening to his friends normally.

"That's not what I meant..." Weiwei waved her hands quickly.

"Your Highness, it's time to eat."

Robin said calmly as she came up with a dinner plate. She was holding a book in her hands and reading, and then there were two hands on her back holding the dinner plate, which looked very weird.

Robin's tricks are a good way to pretend to be a ghost and scare people.

"Miss Robin, thank you~" Seeing Robin coming over, Weiwei let out a sigh of relief, as if the tense air had been relieved.

"But there's no need to bring it to me. I'll go to the dining room."

"You're welcome. This is what a maid should do. Besides, you don't need to say honorifics to me." Robin said calmly.

"Maid..." Luffy looked at Robin's outfit.

She wears a white beret-like hat on her head and a purple short-sleeved waist-length skirt. She has a great mind.

This is a very normal palace maid's outfit, dignified and simple.

"What's the matter, Mr. Lieutenant?" Robin asked.

"With such a maid outfit, I always feel...so disappointed." Luffy said.

He hadn't noticed the maids' outfits in Alabasta, and when Robin was wearing them now, he didn't notice anything.

It's better to let her express herself freely.

Luffy was thinking of a classic anime maid outfit, and it would be better if it had a loving and open-hearted type.

"Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you. I think that wearing a maid uniform like this is very comfortable and gives me a sense of security. It can at least block Mr. Second Lieutenant's gaze that is hotter than the sun."

Robin replied calmly.

"Wait a minute, what do you mean?" Luffy asked angrily.

"Luffy——" Weiwei stared at her brother in front of her for a moment.

"Have you ever done anything rude to Miss Robin?" She asked Luffy while holding her skirt.

"No, I didn't do anything. There's something wrong with Robin's way of speaking!"

Weiwei snorted.

"Miss Robin, although Luffy is a nice person, he is a pervert, so you must be more careful!"

Vivi said to Robin.

"Well, I understand, but, Your Highness Weiwei, why did you kiss a pervert?" Robin asked calmly, and it was unclear whether it was curiosity or deliberate teasing.

"This..." Weiwei stared, blushing directly on her face.

"This is purely about saving the country!" Weiwei exhaled loudly and tried her best to explain her reasons.

"Hurry up and forget about this!"

"Well, I will keep it a secret. There is no one around. Miss Nami has just woken up. Do you need me to prepare a meal for her?" Robin asked.

"You go!" Weiwei hurriedly wanted to send Robin away. When she saw her mentioning Nami, she immediately nodded and said, and then hurriedly took the dinner plate from Robin's hand.

"Then I'll retire first."

Seeing Robin turn around, Weiwei relaxed.

But my heart became complicated again. Would Luffy mind if I said "I'm just saving the country"? What would he think?

It's so annoying. Why do you feel like you can't get along with me all of a sudden?

Obviously it used to be natural...

"L-Luffy, do you want to eat?" Weiwei asked Luffy holding the meal.

"Weiwei, it's already eleven o'clock now. I've already had breakfast, but I haven't had lunch yet."

Luffy said, taking a piece of pastry and stuffing it into his mouth.

"Eh? Is it so late? I thought I just slept until nine o'clock!" Only then did Weiwei realize that there was a problem with the time.

"Everyone is too tired. Nami only woke up now... By the way, Luffy has recovered. That's great." Vivi said a little disappointed.

I haven't given little Luffy a good hug yet.

He obviously planned to find an excuse to hug her in a few days.

"Ah."

"Let's go eat together." Luffy said.

In the dining room, she happened to bump into Nami who was coming to eat. She saw the grown-up Luffy and showed a cheerful smile, "Luffy, have you finished your recovery?"

Nami smiled like a D, then swooped over and hugged Luffy.

"Recovered..." Luffy never thought that Nami would be so happy. After all, little Luffy and Nami were also very interested.

Luffy caught Nami's hand, held her waist, turned her slightly to release the momentum, and then placed her on the ground.

Nami put her feet together and stood stiffly on the ground, with a slight blush on her face. She was very satisfied with this half-circling hug.

It's like a scene from a princess comic.

"I just woke up. I slept so comfortably. Let's eat together!"

Weiwei looked at them with a smile, and suddenly felt a little jealous in her heart. It was impossible for her to hug them freely like this, and she couldn't do this. There were many guards paying attention to her.

But Nami and the others have no such worries, because they are navy, and no one dares to say anything to them.

That’s great~ Weiwei thought.

As for me, I'm going to be an adult...

Weiwei opened the seat, combed her hands down from her buttocks, gathered up her light blue skirt, and sat down dignifiedly, revealing her arc curves.

"Nami, you got up too late."

Nuo Qifeng came over with some delicious food and said.

She looked at Nami and said a little unnaturally.
