Chapter 191 Deal and Purpose
A banquet was held for Kahn in the Arubana Palace, but only three people were seated; Kahn, Cobra and Vivi.
With Cobra's character, after Vivi said that Kahn was her friend, even if Kahn couldn't find the mastermind behind the crime in Alabasta, he would treat Kahn well.
However, the meat in the pirate world is indeed more delicious. The toughness and cooking give Kahn a different taste. Or he can bring some local delicacies for Betty or Kushina to taste.
"Mr. Pent, the method of rain you just mentioned. Is it using dancing powder? If it is this method, then I can only refuse. In Alabasta, dancing powder is clearly prohibited."
Cobra asked tentatively at the banquet. Recently, he has used many methods to pray for rain, but many of them are scams. Dancing powder is the only thing that can play a role in rain, but dancing powder will cause drought in other countries, thus triggering wars, which will bring more serious consequences than drought.
So Cobra absolutely does not allow dancing powder to be used in Alabasta.
"That kind of thing is pure deception. The rainfall I'm talking about doesn't require any help. It would be weak to just say it with your mouth. I'd better show it to you, Your Majesty."
After Kahn finished speaking, he put down his knife and fork, and then formed a shadow clone. This ability made everyone in the palace brighten up. They seemed to have never seen this kind of devil fruit ability.
The shadow clone directly changed into a cloud of smoke and flew out of the gate.
Kahn smiled and took out a parchment roll, and said to Cobra with a smile: "King Cobra, it will rain soon. After you believe it, you can take a look at my charging standards. This is a friendly price."
There was nothing on the parchment roll, but after it was handed to Cobra, a series of transaction matters and fees appeared on it.
For example, 20 million Beli for one rainfall, 600,000 Beli for one ton of rice, equivalent to 300 Beli for one kilogram of rice. The price of other staple foods is similar to that of rice, and the price fluctuation between one ton will not exceed 100,000 Beli.
Alabasta is most in need of water, staple foods and vegetables. After being transported by merchants, they are about 10% more expensive than the price given by Kahn.
There is also the price of dealing with pirates. Alabasta only needs to pay half of the bounty. If they choose to report to the navy, it is also OK, but the navy usually does not arrive so promptly.
There is also a recovery potion, which is first-class even in the pirate world, but Kahn has not tested the effect yet. He plans to find a few pirates to try the effect. If the effect is not as good as that in the Marvel world, he will tell Cobra that it is out of stock.
As for the super soldier serum, Kahn did not take it out. The people in the pirate world are unreasonable. Almost all of them have a defense of 1 and a blood volume of 100,000. A flintlock can break the defense, and then blood will flow for a long time and they can still fight.
He took out a lot of firearms, because when he came to Alabasta, Kahn found a few flintlocks and tried them. The power is that of a real flintlock.
However, this thing has an upper limit and a lower limit. The firearm with the highest upper limit in the pirate world should be the "Don't Move" model flintlock. There is only one in the whole world, in the hands of Ben Beckman; with this gun, he can order a natural general to raise his hands.
The rest of the firearms, excluding the special ones, should be referenced by the standard flintlock rifles of the major kingdoms and the navy.
It can only be said that they are weak! It is better to have a Gatling
gun in each hand. Anyway, ordinary soldiers in the pirate world have this physique after a little training.
However, new firearms are more expensive. An AK costs 10,000 Beli, a Gatling gun costs 50,000 Beli, and the prices of rocket launchers and other weapons are different.
Cobra was stunned after reading it. He didn't know many things on it, but there was an explanation of the effect at the end, so he could understand it; it was this price. He felt heartbroken after thinking about it for a while. There is
also the last final commission: "Solve the real crisis of Alabasta [Note: It is related to the secret that Nefertari has been guarding for more than 800 years. ], the price is 300 million Beli. "
Vivi on the side also curiously poked her head out, but after she saw the price above, her black pupils were about to pop out.
Then Vivi immediately jumped up from her chair, slammed the table in shock and asked: "Mr. Pent, this is too expensive, aren't we friends?"
"Princess Vivi, it's because we are friends that the price is this. You can ask King Cobra if the price of rice is cheaper than that of Alabasta; as for the rest, I guarantee that I will not cheat anyone,"
Kahn shrugged and said. Just after he finished speaking, dark clouds appeared in Albana, the capital of Arabstan, and then heavy rain fell.
The sound of rain poured down, as if the river in the sky was backflowing and was about to flood the entire city; but after puddles appeared on the ground in Albana, the heavy rain slowly stopped, and then the blue sky and white clouds returned within ten minutes.
After the rain stopped, Kahn smiled and said, "This time it's free, King Cobra."
Cobra was a little stunned, and then he immediately turned his head to look at Bell beside him, but Bell shook his head; if it wanted to rain so hard, the dancing powder used could dye the sky green, but there was no sign of dancing powder being used in the sky of Albana just now.
"Mr. Pent, I now fully believe that you have the ability. Some of the supplies above are indeed cheaper than those in Alabasta. But there are some things I still don't understand, such as these guns, recovery potions and the final real crisis."
Cobra wiped the non-existent sweat from his face. He felt a little nervous about the secret that had been guarded for more than 800 years, and he had some guesses. But even Vivi didn't know about this, so he didn't dare to confirm that what Kahn said was what he thought. "That's it, King Cobra, someone is targeting Pluto."
Kahn saw that there were only six people in the palace, among which three palace guards and adjutants were loyal to Alabasta, so he said it without hesitation.
He could also make weapons that could destroy an island. The strongest star track gun on an aircraft carrier, combined with several energy ships, could destroy a small satellite hundreds of kilometers in size with its maximum power. With a few more shots, it could even destroy a planet with life.
Kahn was really not interested in ancient weapons such as Pluto, Uranus and Sea King that were hundreds of years old. In comparison, he might as well plan the Ten Tails.
"So that's it, I understand, I understand. Three hundred million Baileys, it's really not expensive, not expensive."
King Cobra wiped his sweat. If the news about Pluto got out, not to mention him and Vivi, the entire Alabasta might be destroyed; the super ancient weapon that could easily destroy an island was the most tempting thing for those vicious pirates.
This matter must not be spread out!
Vivi suddenly asked curiously, "What is Pluto?"
"You must not tell anyone about Pluto, Vivi. If you tell anyone, the whole of Alabasta will be destroyed!"
Cobra said to Vivi with an extremely serious face. It was the first time she saw her father show such an expression. She nodded and agreed.
"Don't worry, King Cobra. Although Pluto is powerful, I don't think highly of it. However, someone knows that your Nefertari clan has the whereabouts of Pluto, and the recent changes in Alabasta are also caused by him. If you don't need me..."
Kahn smiled and said before he finished, he was interrupted by the anxious Cobra and said, "If you need it, 300 million Beli, Alabasta can get it together."
This is to use 300 million Beli to save Alabasta, how could Cobra not agree.
However, Ikalem on the side couldn't help but say after hearing this: "Your Majesty, the palace may not be able to come up with so much Beli"
"It doesn't matter. In addition to Beli, other things can be used as collateral. For example, if I need manpower to build a building, or various treasures, they can all be used to mortgage Beli."
Kahn smiled and interrupted: "In fact, Alabasta can also consider the firearms above. At least it can improve the strength of the palace guards a lot. It is much better than the flintlocks and swords you use."
"Let's talk about this later. Alabasta will definitely consider it carefully."
Cobra said hurriedly. It's not that he is stingy, but that Alabasta's finances are really not healthy. There has been no rain for the past year, and coupled with the crimes that have occurred in various places, Cobra has always been compensating the citizens for their losses.
As for the 300 million Beli paid to Kahn, Cobra needs to make up for it.
Beli is still very useful in this world. At least there is a chance to buy intelligence and devil fruits. Some unimportant or uncollected devil fruits will be auctioned in various places. If only some ordinary items can be bought, then Kahn will not want waste paper like Beli.
Kahn nodded and said, "In that case, let's solve this matter first. Anyway, without the mastermind, the climate of Alabasta will slowly recover, and it should rain a few times in a year. By the way, King Cobra, please help me prepare a pair of seastone handcuffs, otherwise it will be difficult for me to catch him."
"Seastone handcuffs? Although they are rare, Alabasta still has them. Wait, Mr. Pent, do you want seastone handcuffs to deal with the mastermind behind the recent drought and crime in Alabasta?"
Cobra suddenly reacted and asked Kahn. Not only him, but Bell and Gaga beside him also realized the seastone handcuffs.
These are handcuffs specially used to deal with Devil Fruit users, and in the whole of Alabasta, except for the two of them, there is only the guardian of Alabasta, Crocodile, the sand crocodile.
Cobra asked in disbelief: "Mr. Pent, are you saying that the Shichibukai is the murderer behind the spying?"
"Of course, but I can't blame you. A powerful person wants to deceive you, and it makes sense for you to believe him. But after I get rid of him, you will know what's going on."
Kahn said confidently. To deal with a natural fruit ability user who doesn't have domineering power, he still uses the Sand-Sand Fruit. Kahn has many ways to get rid of Crocodile. The reason why he wants seastone handcuffs is that he doesn't need to lock Crocodile in the sea water in future research.
After capturing this Shichibukai alive, Kahn will conduct research on the devil fruit ability on him.
