Struggle to build a country in the world of pirates

Allen bought a large shop in the most prosperous commercial street in the capital of Alabasta. Martin and other ministers of commerce also purchased real estate and a large courtyard.

Martin even purchased all the horses and camels that traveled to and from the royal capital, and even the merchants who often rented carriages as his subordinates, almost taking over the rental transportation lines in the capital.

Others prefer traditional businesses, opening bars, hotels, grain stores, luxury goods stores, etc.

They were all purchased separately by their subordinates. The stores they bought did not do any business, they just bought a large number of properties.

Martin and the others went to other cities to learn about the situation, while Lei Luo, accompanied by Bell, walked around the streets of the capital. To be honest, I really didn’t see how much money this country had. It felt like it was just a small country in the East China Sea. They are all richer than this.

Lei Luo asked Bell: "Bell, what do you people here rely on to survive? Do you have any main source of income?"

"Back to Your Highness, we have very few crops here. Most people go out to sea to fish or do some small businesses to earn money from merchants and tourists. Some of them go out to sea to do business."

"But if this continues, your country will lose a lot of population. Without pillar industries and relying only on foreign goods, it will be difficult for the people of your country to make money and develop."

"I don't quite understand this, but I think His Majesty is actually very worried."

"Doesn't your country have any energy resources? For example, gold mines, silver mines, iron mines, etc.?"

"It doesn't seem like there is. There's desert everywhere here. Even if there is, it's buried deep underground and there's no way to detect it."

"Where do the pirates from your country usually go to spend money?"

"I heard that there are a lot of pirates in the Rain Land. Pirates like ports close to the coast because they can run away at any time. I heard that a new pirate star recently - Crocodile is also there. We only have no laws here. , they were allowed to come and go freely, after all, it was the navy that captured them," Bell said.

"Yudi, let's go there and have a look."

"Is it far away from the king?" Bell asked tentatively.

"Don't you have any faster transportation here?"

"Our palace has a pet called a running duck, which can run very fast on land."

"Let me look at the map. Let's ride the Running Duck to the port of the royal capital. Our ship is docked there. We will take the ship to the Rain Land."

Considering the other party's identity and safety issues, Bell wanted to give him some advice. When he saw Dora next to him, he gave up the idea and went back to prepare to run away.

Three ducks were prepared. Lei Luo and Nancy took one together. Lei Luo looked at it and frowned, "There's not even a seat?"

Bell was speechless. Lei Luo leaned in Nancy's arms. A girl's fragrance came to his face. Nancy held the reins with one hand and hugged Lei Luo with the other. Lei Luo felt unsafe and grabbed the fastener. The feathers on the back of a running duck.

The running duck felt the pain, and ran out with a swish. The speed was quite fast, but it was so bumpy that it was really uncomfortable.

"Stop, stop, stop..." Lei Luo called out to stop running away halfway. Dora and Bell also stopped.

Lei Luo jumped to run away from the duck and vomited. "What's wrong, Your Highness? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Nancy asked worriedly.

"Nothing's wrong, I'm just a little dizzy (duck)."

Then he said to Bell: "Bell, please, can you turn into a big bird and take me to fly in the sky?"

Bell smiled and said, "No problem, Your Highness." Then Bell transformed into the form of Hayato and flew Lei Luo towards the port. "Bell, your ability is really convenient." Lei Luo rode on Bell, feeling very comfortable flying in the sky.

"Yes, and it's very fast. I can patrol the entire Alabasta in one day."

"Bell, do you want to consider becoming my subordinate? It's up to you to decide on the salary and other things."

Bell blushed slightly and said, "No need, Your Highness, I am loyal to Alabasta and will not betray you."

"I didn't ask you to betray, I just asked you to come here to work. You can understand it this way. You are still very weak now, and the Hanas Empire has many strong people. You go there to improve your strength. Five years later, you will return Alabasta, keep protecting it. What do you think?"

Bell didn't speak, Lei Luo continued: "You don't have to worry about the king. As I said, your country has too few high-end combat capabilities. No one has enough strength. You can increase your strength by coming to me, and you can also improve both sides." Friendship between countries is a win-win matter."

Bell still didn't speak. "If you don't speak, I'll take it as your consent. I'll go to King Kobra to talk about this later."

[Why the hell did I agree? Just think of it as a child’s nature. I am happy to see the ability of flying animals. 】

After a while, Bell arrived on Lei Luo's ship. Lei Luo prepared a large ship and brought 20 combatants. When Dora and Nancy arrived at the port, they set off for the rainy land. Lei Luo also specially introduced to everyone, "This is the current adjutant of the Alabasta Kingdom Guards - Bell [animal type "Bird Fruit-Falcon type" ability user]. From now on, he will serve as a representative of friendly exchanges between the two countries. Be a bodyguard by your side."

Nancy and Dora also looked at Bell in surprise, how could he become His Highness's person just after flying all the way?

After another day of sailing, we arrived at the port of Yudi. As soon as we arrived, I felt some malicious eyes looking over me.

Lei Luo's big ship was very new and luxurious, but it seemed a little out of place among a bunch of dilapidated pirate ships and merchant ships.

There was even a group of pirates who had the courage to come over and try to rob. Bell's face turned dark. Bell pulled out his sword, transformed into Hayato, and walked over. "You guys, if you do such evil things in Alabasta, you should be killed." He rushed over, swish, swish, swish. After a few blows, the group fell to the ground and wailed. Not long after, the king's guard came over and said, "Lord Bell, why are you here?"

"This group of pirates openly committed robbery here. I have captured it. I will leave the rest to you. This is His Highness Lei Luo's ship. You must protect it."

Sergeant "Yes, Lord Bell."

Lei Luo and the others did not care about these trivial matters. People came and went here, and there were people of all kinds from all walks of life. Business had also taken initial shape. Some bold and well-backed people also started doing business here, and the king's army and The navy doesn't care about this.

There was a large casino here, which looked very luxurious. Lei Luo and the others walked in. The waitress who welcomes guests immediately comes up to explain and guide the new guests.

Lei Luo exchanged chips for fifty million Baileys and gave each of his men one million chips to play separately.

He came to Yaosebao, the big and small gambling table, looked at it and said to Dora: "Can you hear the points inside?"

Dora closed her eyes and felt the impact sound from Sebao, when the sound stopped. "Four, five, five, big." Lei Luo placed 14 million chips on the 14 point, and opened the treasure. The total number of dice points appearing in it was .

Look at the odds and the compensation will be 12 times [Not bad, I have developed another way to use it. If I win for a while, the boss behind the scenes will not be able to sit still]

She started shaking the color treasure again, and Dora heard three ones appearing in it, and quietly told Lei Luo the points. Lei Luo asked the waiter, "Is there an upper limit on the bets on this table?"

"Yes, sir, the maximum limit is 2000 million Baileys." "Which one has the highest odds?"

"It's three ones, and the maximum payout is 150 times." Lei Luo placed 3 million chips on the point, "Let's place the bet, let's start." At this time, many customers had gathered around to watch the fun.

Cold sweat broke out on the croupier's head. He was stared at by Dora's eyes and did not dare to move other hands or feet. He felt that this person was staring at him like a beast.

Opening the color treasure, there were indeed three "one" points inside. Calculating the compensation, it should be three billion beli.

People around me exclaimed~~~~~~~~~~! ! !
