Pirates: I, the Dragon Man

"Young Master!"

"Little Lord."

"Tsk, tsk, I haven't seen you for half a year, Stella, have you become beautiful again? How about it? Did that bastard Tezzolo bully you? If he bullies you, tell me, and I will sink him into the sea and feed him to the fishes."

Time always flies very fast at sea. It has been almost half a year since Tezzolo and I left, and a lot of things have happened in these six months.

Stella became more and more gentle, looking at Tezzolo from time to time with eyes full of tenderness and sweetness, and Tezzolo's sinister aura also disappeared with Stella's return. The whole person exudes confidence and sunshine.

"Sir, how could I bully Stella? She is a gift given to me by God, and she is the most precious treasure in my life."

I have to say that Tezzolo's voice is very magnetic. After turning from cheerful to serious, his two sentences made Stella blush. Those little eyes made Kazama deeply understand what it means: tenderness. water!

"Well, Stella didn't answer my question just now. I think it was you who bullied him. Come on! Chen Hai!"

Tezzolo: ?_??

Stella: (?⊿?)?

"Young Master, Tezoro has never bullied me. He is very kind to me. Young Master, please don't let anyone sink him into the sea."

Alas, look at this girl, she was so anxious that she bowed at a 90° angle.

"Tezolo," Kazama looked at Tezolo seriously. Tezolo quickly saluted, and Fengjian said seriously,

"I'm telling you, you choose the person yourself. Don't regret it. Although this child has become a bit stupid for some reason, you can't return it."

"Don't worry, sir, I won't return it."

Tezzolo didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Eh?" Stella suddenly raised her head and looked at Kazama, then at Tezzolo, and she immediately reacted, her face reddening almost to the point of ripeness:

"Little Lord!"

"Tsk, tsk, I always heard people say that girls in love are stupid. I have just seen your young master now, and you still make people sink into the sea - didn't you realize that you two are the only ones around me? Who should I let? To sink Tezzolo into the sea? Let you go?"

With that said, Kazama started walking in the direction of Tom's house, with Tezolo and Stella following.

"How is the construction of the commercial island going?"

"The technical aspects have all been taken care of. I have also built a factory to make those high-strength tempered glass and materials. It can be said that the preliminary preparations have been completed except for the site selection, and the only thing left is to start the construction."

Tezzolo felt a little uneasy, because he really hadn't done much in the past six months. The design of glass that could withstand water pressure and various entertainment facilities, from concept to technology to mass production to factory, was very troublesome.

Because this was the first task assigned to him by Masahachi Kazama, Tezzolo devoted all his energy to designing the island. If it were just an ordinary amusement island, it would have been built long ago.

Stella followed quietly. Just like when she was with Marie Joa, whenever Kazama and Abbas had a discussion, she would always stay quietly aside, pouring tea and adding water from time to time.

"Well, I understand. Tezzolo, the super-large amusement island in the plan belongs to you, and the income is equivalent to your salary. I need you to make something new."

The business plan that Kazama gave to Tezzolo was actually very simple, with only a few sentences in it:

Find an island in the first half of the Grand Line and build a super-large amusement park. The entire island will be an island of commerce and entertainment. Then, there must be a lot of delicious food and an undersea tunnel. Find financial support and technical support from the world government.

"Establish a new company, under your control, under the name of the world government. It will involve education, medical care, weapons, machinery, transportation, tourism and other aspects. In my imagination, it will be the main source of income for the world government in the future. Source. If you do this well, there will be no need for the world government to collect gold from heaven in the future.

For those three melons and two dates, we have to bear the reputation of oppressing the participating countries, haha.

Tom will be yours from now on. You can set up a special department to promote sea trains to various countries. This thing will definitely be built and it will definitely make money.

The location of the commercial and entertainment island should be nearby. The first batch of sea trains will connect the Seven Waters Capital with Spring Queen City, Food City and a Carnival Island. You can make a tourist line.

I authorize you to interview the Five Old Stars. Remember to be respectful. Those are very good elders. How to do it is up to you.

This company will be the commercial arm of the world government in the future. If you do well, this position will be yours. "

Listening to Kazama's words, Tezzolo had clenched his fists unconsciously. He had always felt that Sir, no, it should be said that the young master was not an ordinary person, but now he was also shocked by the young master's thoughts.

If he guessed correctly, the young master wants to rectify the world government!

Thinking of this, Tezzolo couldn't help but feel hot in his heart. In the days of the new world, he was clearly aware of the dark side of the world government, and he had long been disgusted by these things! If the young master has this idea, it means that the good days of those garbage are over!

When he was receiving training, he had read some books. He knew how great the Celestial Dragons and the World Government were eight hundred years ago.

However, canceling the Heavenly Gold——this made him frown.

"Young Master, do you want to cancel the Heavenly Gold? This is the bulk of the world government's income."

"Oh, what has become of the gold in the sky? The ordinary people on the sea are not living well, and the nobles tell them that it is because of the gold in the sky. Do they really believe it?

Alabasta has heavenly gold, and so does Dressrosa. This kingdom is a famous power in the first and second half of the Grand Line! Common people haven't had such a miserable life, right? Before and after the Grand Line, even if the four seas are taken into account, how many of the participating countries suffered miserably because of the gold in the sky?

The share of gold in the sky is proportional. The nobles of certain kingdoms are so crazy about making money without caring about the life and death of the common people, but we have to bear the bad reputation? Why? "

Regarding the issue of heavenly gold, Kazama has read the world government’s account books. The world government will generally examine the situation of the franchised countries, and based on the economic conditions of the franchised countries in recent years, set a standard of 2-3% of the tax amount of the country to collect heavenly gold. This standard usually does not change for many years.

As a result, according to the intelligence of the CPs, the funds collected by various countries in the name of heavenly gold are generally two to three times the amount of heavenly gold.

The basic operations are:

Your Majesty the King, because we have to pay heavenly gold, the treasury is somewhat insufficient. How about you spend some of your personal money? Not willing? Then, how about raising taxes a little bit to make up for these gaps?

So they increased taxes, various exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes in the name of raising heavenly gold, and then collected the money. Officials at all levels took a little, and nobles of all sizes took a little. When it was handed over to the treasury, it was just one or two percent more than the heavenly gold handed over, and then the king took it. Use it as private money, and the remaining tax revenue, which is equivalent to heavenly gold, goes to the national treasury.

As for the reason why the gold in the sky cannot survive - you can question the character of the World Government, but please don't question the IQ of the World Government. The World Government can still tell the difference after a good meal.

In the eyes of the common people, those countries where their country cannot survive because of the gold in the sky, the nobles are more elegant than the other.

It's outrageous!

Tezzolo looked at the cursing Kazama, hesitated for a moment, and then cautiously suggested:

"Young Master, even if this is the case, there is no need to cancel it? From now on, we should not use the amount of gold in the sky to decide which countries will participate in the world conference, or we can just publish the news directly."

"Heh, do you believe that some big countries can raise taxes like crazy just to save face, leading to the country's decline?"

Kazama rolled his eyes, and Tezzolo was shocked:

"Isn't this possible?"

"Haha, hundreds of years ago, the Tianlong people who were not so depraved saw that situation and came up with the same idea as you. As a result, several big countries increased taxes crazily just to save face, and they were ruined. .

As for the news release - the royal family, which is usually 'diligent and frugal' and 'loving its people like children', told them that it was false. "

"Wouldn't the world's governments punish this kind of behavior?"

Seeing Tezzolo's "I don't understand, but I'm shocked" look, Kazama just said a word:

"They give money."

Tezzolo fell silent for a moment.

"Anyway, don't worry about this matter. I just said casually that I already have an idea about the gold in the sky. The discussion on this matter ends here. There will be a surprise at the next world conference."

Arriving at Tom's cabin, Tezzolo and Tom completed a historic meeting. The two parties reached a consensus on laying sea trains and promoting the development of islands along the line, and reached a series of cooperation agreements.

"Haha, walk slowly. I hope the sea train will be passing by the next time we meet."

"Hahaha! Don't worry! A loud man will definitely do it!"

At the port, Tom and his disciples came to see off Tezzolo and the two, and of course Kazama was also there.

"Uh - um, Kazama Ruri Sheng, you said last time that the Navy was also studying heavy firepower warships, is it true?"

Frame hesitated again and again, but couldn't help but speak. He has thought a lot these days, and his ideas are indeed not suitable for the Seven Waters Capital.

Espagu frowned, but surprisingly remained silent this time. Tom looked at his little disciple, his eyes somewhat pleased.

"Huh? You want to go?"

"miss you!"

"Oh, Tezzolo, take him with you later and throw him to the Navy Headquarters."

Kazama was a little curious. Under this situation, would Franky still follow Straw Hat in the future? But, what does this have to do with him!
