To be honest, if Kuro were the king of Dressrosa, he would definitely not agree.
It's not like that idiot from Twin Horse Kingdom spent a few hundred million Berries on a favor and did it.
He was just trying, and his psychological bottom line was 0.5%.
He had wanted to talk to David about it. Even if there was only ten percent, he would have made a profit.
Unexpectedly, he actually agreed directly?!
'What's the situation?'
Kuro looked at David for a while and couldn't help but say, "Why don't you… you think about it? I think you can bargain for 10%."
"No, I think your suggestion is very pertinent!" David was very flat and even felt that it should be.
Ever since he was chosen by his master as king, he had been wondering what else his master had besides the wish of world peace.
For this, he obtained information about Kuro.
Master has a territory on Pegasus Island. The entertainment industry on Pegasus Island is his and the land is his.
Master also has power in Sabaody Land. Although the land is not his, he can still get the tax.
Then, David understood!
Master still wants territory, but because Master is a Marine, he can't have his own territory openly. I've never heard that Marines can be kings. Without this factor, the king of Dressrosa should be Master.
David felt in his heart that only his master was worthy of this throne.
However, Dressrosa did not have the legal claim of his master. Even if he abdicated, his master could not take over the throne under the eyes of the World Government.
But his master is still his master. If he chooses himself as the king, many things will be very convenient.
Like now, for example, getting land through so-called investment.
This is just an excuse to deceive the World Government. In this way, he can get the land he wants, such as now. If he takes 30% of Dressrosa's territory, as long as the distribution is even and the land he takes is all key, it is equivalent to directly controlling Dressrosa.
This is Master's wisdom!
Really, really…
David remained in a bowing position. Faintly, his body was trembling.
It was the trembling of excitement, the trembling of cheers for Master's wisdom!
He knows, he knows everything!
"30% is enough. Old Ye, 10%, your plan… No, your investment may have problems."
He had to hold back and not say his master's plan. That would be a blasphemy to his master's wisdom.
"Hiss…"
Kuro felt his teeth ache.
What's going on?
He, a buyer, took the initiative to lower the price, but you, a seller, think that this price is very good?
Who is the buyer and who is the seller?
But if you don't take advantage, you're a bastard.
It just so happens that he wants to do business in the New World. Now that Gran Tezolo is gone, the New World lacks a large entertainment city. It just so happens that he conquered the G-3 sea area. If he can start from the islands near the G-3 sea area and go all the way to Dressrosa to do a tourist route, wouldn't he make a killing!
Think about it, bring out the characteristics of each island, then connect to the next island, and finally go straight to the [Love and Passion and Toy Country]. Tourism and entertainment are one-stop activities, which is more profitable than Pegasus Island.
He happened to have a big ship in his hand and the remaining half of Gran Tezolo, which he originally wanted to smash.
But now that he thought about it, it was a little wasteful.
Shuichi can be a cruise ship, docking on every developed island, experiencing the characteristics of the island, and then returning to the ship to eat and drink when he rests.
Kuro beamed with joy and said, "David, if you are the king, it is better for you to take another sea train from Dressrosa to Raya Island."
If the Sea Train is added, tourists can choose freely or stay on the island and then take the Sea Train to the next island.
Either way, he made money.
The kind that can make a killing!
"Stay for dinner tonight, we will discuss it in detail," Kuro said to David, biting his cigar.
"My pleasure, Master!" David said excitedly.
This time, not only did I see Master and help him, but I can even have a meal with Master. This is really… great!
… .
Evening.
In the private room of the Marine canteen, Kuro sat at the head of the table and pulled David enthusiastically to talk.
In the deputy position, Leda was eating.
Crowe pushed up his glasses and poured a glass of wine from time to time.
Kaz and Wilbur sat off to the side, staring at Kuro talking to David, nodding from time to time.
Ian sat there elegantly cutting his steak.
Several colonels were all here.
This is also the command of G-3 in addition to Kuro.
"Let me tell you, you can't expand your territory so blindly. No matter what kind of goal you have, your progress is so fast. There must be a lot of contradictions in your country."
"There are too many races in this world, and the customs are different. It is not something that you can generalize with 'advanced' of Dressrosa. You are right to use every conquered country equally, but it is not enough. Previously, because you are fighting a war, all contradictions have a unified outlet, but now that you are not fighting, you have to change the way."
Kuro bit his cigar and blew out a mouthful of smoke and said, "Work. Everyone works. You pay for it yourself and then let them work. I'm not afraid to tell you that I want 30% of your real estate to do tourism, so find a good position and let them do construction. I won't let you suffer losses in the future profits. You manage and operate it on my behalf. I'll tell you the specific method and we'll split it 50-50."
"Yes, Master." David nodded.
His expression was filled with gratitude, which made Kuro speechless.
I asked you to help, I asked you to manage, I asked you to manage the camp, I just invested money to get the land. This 50% is already too much. Why didn't you bargain, why are you thanking me…
In contrast, the money he used to fool Leda was not so simple.
"Come, let's not talk anymore."
Kuro raised his glass and extended it forward.
David held the cup with both hands and gently knocked the side of the cup against the bottom of Kuro's cup and drained it.
This made Kuro a little embarrassed. He said, "Then, your island is separated by the sea. It's not enough to have a unified country. Besides, you are not unified. The island is too far away from the island. Let me teach you a trick. Make a belief, such as gods, heroes, chivalry, and so on, and publicize it. It has to be really good and beautiful. Then they will all believe in this belief, and your country will really be unified."
History in his previous life is like this.
In Europe, which is in the Mediterranean and west, the terrain is flat and there are many countries. It is not as good as his hometown.
In history, his hometown was blocked by mountains in the west, the grassland in the north was vast, the sea in the east, and the sea and jungle in the south. As long as he unified the land of his hometown, he would directly become the overlord and beat up the small countries around him. He was bold and domineering. Then there was the unification of thought and civilization. He relied on this to maintain unification. Until today, even though he had traveled for more than 20 years, it was still engraved in his bones.
But for the West, because it is too chaotic, it is impossible for a Grand Unification to appear.
'Huh?'
Rome?
Rome in Zhangjiakou!
Without Grand Unified Geopolitics, another thing is derived, and that is faith.
In history, they relied on Unitarianism to maintain this disguised unification. Different races, different countries, and different customs, it doesn't matter.
As long as you believe in it, we are a family.
Well, except for God's filial son.
"Faith?"
David was stunned by Kuro's words. He looked at Kuro as if he had been enlightened.
"I see! Master, you even expected this? Sparashi! Sparashi! Master, compared to your wisdom, my thoughts are like this dust, and you are the moon in the sky!" David was so excited that his face turned red.
He was still thinking about how to use the Book of Justice, but his master's words made him not even need to think.
Master even predicted what he would do!
Kuro waved his hand and said modestly, "No, no, it's just a little superficial knowledge. This is the course of history, not mine."
"Justice!"
Wilbur also blushed and stared straight at Kuro. "Justice, Mr. Kuro! Justice is the idea that everyone should exist. No matter who it is, there will be justice!"
"Justice? Well… that's right, but this thing needs to be unified. Aren't you two good at justice? You can discuss it with David." Kuro touched his chin and felt that it was okay.
Kaz and Wilbur are good at playing justice, especially Kaz with his big beard. He has a headache when he stirs up trouble.
It was a good opportunity to give them something to do so that they would not give him a beating for no reason.
Well …
His back itched a little.
Kuro subconsciously scratched his back and blew out a mouthful of smoke.
