Pirate: Eternal

Chapter 79 Choice

Vlad shook his head and got rid of this stupid idea. He was here to make money, not charity.

"Plans have to change."

Vlad now wants to regret it. He doesn’t want to give away these more than 100 guns!

The original plan was to send more than 100 guns to the outside world, and then let the news out that they had sold more than 1000 guns to the rebels, forcing the Royal Army to also go to him to buy guns.

Then he released the true news that the royal army came to them to buy guns, forcing the rebels to come to him to buy guns as well. After making money from this back and forth, they went to Doflamingo to wholesale more advanced weapons.

Then he would repeat the same trick with more advanced weapons, forcing both parties to keep asking him to buy weapons until both parties ran out of money.

After both parties ran out of money, Vlad would introduce a bond system to them, lending both parties money to buy weapons until they were in debt.

At this time, in the name of asking them to pay back the money, they will be asked to do cheap work or the entire kingdom of Alabasta will be directly mortgaged.

Those who are reasonable and compliant will be able to capture Alabasta without losing any blood, and neither the World Government nor the Navy will have any reason to trouble Vlad and the others.

But at present, the rebels can't even afford the money to buy the first batch of guns!

"It's so funny that you can give birth but you can't raise it!"

Vlad remembered that the entire kingdom of Alabasta seemed to have a population of about 1000 million, and it was a large consumer of food.

The Kingdom of Eden is so rich that it only has more than 1 official citizens with citizenship. However, Alabasta, which is so poor that it cannot be blamed, has a population a thousand times that of the Garden of Eden!

In Alabasta, men’s raincoats should be very popular!

After deciding to change his plan, Vlad began to spend his brain cells thinking about what value these rebels had.

people?

Vlad remembered that in the original anime plot, when the rebel army launched a war against the royal army, Kosha seemed to have summoned more than 100 million people from various cities, and together with the existing population, there were about 200 million people.

A population of 200 million does have a very large manpower, but it also has 200 million mouths to eat!

He, Vlad, can't afford it!

"Cobra, you are such a loser!"

Vlad was suddenly so angry that he greeted Kobra in a low voice again. There was no answer to this question.

In the anime, after defeating Crocodile and clearing up the misunderstanding, the life scenes of Alabasta civilians did not appear at all. It was only mentioned in later comics that Kosa became the Minister of Environment of the Kingdom of Alabasta.

Everything is beautiful...

But this is the real world now. If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't live without seeing the hope of tomorrow, the people of Alabasta would not organize on a large scale to overthrow the royal family.

Even if everything goes according to the plot, Luffy defeats Crocodile, and Vivi resolves the rebel army's misunderstanding about the royal family, the royal family cannot afford to support these more than 200 million people!

The former oasis 'Yuba' was destroyed by Crocodile and turned into a piece of dry yellow sand, let alone other cities. Now the food in Alabasta is definitely not enough for so many people.

Moreover, this only counts the 200 million rebels, there are millions of honest people who believe that the royal family did not join the rebels.

Even if Kobra asks the World Government and the Navy for help, there is a high probability that the Five Old Stars will not pay attention to him. The Navy can collect food from other islands or capture large sea kings, but it will not be able to spare so many manpower to help him.

Moreover, the situation in Alabasta cannot be solved in a short time. Not to mention that food cannot be grown immediately after planting. Even the most basic land that can grow crops is deserted.

It is conceivable that in less than half a month, Alabasta will be full of wild beasts that will eat everyone they see and will lose their minds due to hunger.

Next, he met the rebel leader Kosha. Musk talked with him and was thanked. Until finally he was enthusiastically sent out of the camp, Vlad was in a state of wandering.

The rebels were so miserable that they couldn't even get enough food to entertain them.

After some distance away from the rebel camp, Musk retracted his smile and his face turned ugly.

"Sir, our plan is about to go to waste. Alabasta will soon face a terrible disaster."

Vlad nodded, not surprised that the profiteer could see this.

These are the white gloves he picked out in the rainy land. He is a famous businessman in Alabasta. Although he has a bad reputation, he is well known to Alabasta people.

Compared to foreign pirates such as Vlad, it is easier for this profiteer to gain the trust of local people. After all, who says profiteers can't be patriotic?

As a rich man who can survive under Crocodile's nose, Musk is definitely a smart man, and it is normal to be able to see the situation clearly.

"Now is not the time to discuss this issue. Let's go back to the rainy land first."

Seeing that Musk was hesitant to speak, Vlad waved his hand to signal him to calm down.

Not long after Vlad came back, Ozma and others who had gone out for shopping also returned one after another, and a group of people discussed the current situation in Alabasta.

Musk smoked cigarettes one after another, looking sad.

"The prosperity of Yudi is so different from other places. I haven't been out in the past year or two. I only heard that other places were not doing well. I didn't expect..."

Musk sighed, still unable to believe that this was reality.

Vlad looked at him calmly from the side, watching this guy show off the wine and meat of the wealthy family, and the bones were frozen to death on the road, and he showed it vividly.

But this guy still has a conscience. Whether he is afraid that Alabasta will be destroyed and there will be no place to make money, or he is really patriotic, at least now this guy still really wants to save this country.

After pondering for a long time, Vlad thought that he might as well help if he could. After all, he liked such a quality rebel.

"Statham, please report the situation here to Warring States."

Vlad felt that the only thing they could do now was to notify the navy. After all, he was very powerful at killing people, but there was really nothing he could do to save people.

"Okay, I'll call Sengoku now."

Statham nodded, picked up the phone and went to the side to make a call.

"Hey! I have an idea!"

Paine suddenly raised his hand, looking like a smart student rushing to answer.

"I heard that several islands in Totland of All Nations are made of delicious snacks. We can send people here there!"

"What a great idea! Don't mention it again next time!"

Vlad rolled his eyes. I'm afraid this guy has never seen a scene of tens of thousands of people gathering together, otherwise he wouldn't have said such a thing.

And now millions of people are starving. Not to mention whether there are ships that can transport so many people, even if there are, the consumption of rations on the road is astronomical.
