Chapter 199 Monopoly of Sky Island Trade
"Excuse me, excuse me."
After asking some questions in a roundabout way at the shellfish shop, Nico Robin still didn't get any useful information, so she bought some things and left the shellfish shop.
"Angel Island is so big, how long will it take to visit all of it?"
"Visit all of it?"
A familiar voice suddenly sounded beside Nico Robin. Although it startled her, Nico Robin didn't show it on her face. Instead, she sighed calmly and said, "After all, we have to find the historical text, but the residents of Sky Island don't seem to have heard of the historical text at all. Boss, are you done?"
"That's right, the Thunder Fruit is really hard to deal with. If he was a little more cautious, I would have no way to deal with him; powerful observation Haki, unparalleled speed, and amazing destructive power, but it's a pity that he's a fool."
After hearing Nico Robin's question, Kahn immediately smiled and said easily; if Enel had stayed in the second half of the Grand Line for a while, he would not have been able to defeat him so easily.
"But why do you want to ask them about the historical text? I'm here for you to collect valuable information about the Kahn Chamber of Commerce on the island. This is the duty of the vice president. After you have collected it, I will take you to find the historical text."
Nico Robin asked anxiously, "Boss, do you know the whereabouts of the historical text? Boss..."
But before she finished her question, Kahn disappeared in front of Robin with a phantom.
"If that's the case, you should have said it more clearly at the beginning, this boss who does whatever he wants."
Nico Robin sighed. Although she didn't get the whereabouts of the historical text from Kahn immediately, she could at least be sure that the historical text was somewhere on the Sky Island; next, she just needed to collect intelligence well, and if she performed well, she should be able to get the whereabouts of the historical text.
"Speaking of which, the most valuable thing about Sky Island should be the various magical shells. If we can monopolize the trade, it will at least become the main profit product of the Kahn Chamber of Commerce."
After Enel was defeated by Kahn, several of his priests did not die. These people are quite skilled and can use observation Haki. With the special Sky Island shellfish fighting method, they can be trained well and become several capable guards.
It's just that the environment of Sky Island and Qinghai is very different. These priests may face some problems after leaving Sky Island; but good training, plus injections of super soldier serum, should allow them to adapt quickly.
When in Alabasta, Kahn also conducted human experiments on some pirates and death row prisoners. Although the effect of super soldier serum on the strong experimental subjects is minimal, it can also play a little role.
The people of Sky Island have lived in the sky with thin air for a long time, and the effect of super soldier serum should be a little greater.
This trip to Sky Island was very rewarding for Kahn. The most valuable thing was the Thunder Fruit. He would be able to extract the serum of the Thunder Fruit when he returned, but before that, he was also going to study whether the natural devil fruit could coexist with Enel.
If not, he would study the superhuman and animal types.
"In addition to the Thunder Fruit serum and Enel's men, there is also his Ark Maxim. It can be used as a cargo ship for the Kahn Chamber of Commerce in the future. It's just too ugly. Doesn't this guy have any sense of beauty?"
Kahn felt a little angry when he thought of the Ark Maxim. The power system and the suspended flight system were completed early, but in the end, a lot of time was spent on the golden statue. After he knew about this, he had stopped the original Divine Guards and dismantled the huge golden face of the god.
"The power system can be improved, and the attack turrets on the Ark Maxim can be improved. Let's take it back
and make major changes." I originally wanted to make Ganfor's God Guards work harder, but they were originally guards and were only second-in-command in shipbuilding. However, the power system is quite easy to use. As long as an Ark reactor energy conversion is added, the Ark Maxim can fly for a long time.
After returning, you can go to the Seven Waters City to invite some shipbuilders to Alabasta to modify the hull structure.
Afterwards, Kahn asked the God Guards to be divided into two groups, one to go to the Hidden Cloud Village to notify the Shandians, and the other to call the previous God and the White Berets of Angel Island.
Sky Island is too far away from Alabasta, and Kahn is not interested in ruling any country again. His energy and time are limited. His purpose in the pirate world is very clear, that is, to collect devil fruits and local resources to expand his power.
If the modern network is well developed, then it would be fine to rule a country. With the help of the Red Queen, he can save a lot of energy. However, the pirate world is too troublesome. A single change in the magnetic field has isolated the development of the Internet.
The Hidden Cloud Village
is a very remote village on Sky Island. Since the Shandians were robbed of the Gaya Island that originally belonged to them, the remaining Shandians came to live in this remote Cloud Island, but the Shandians are always looking forward to taking back Gaya Island.
"Chief, there are God Guards outside who want to see you, but Walpa wants to kill them directly."
Laqi hurriedly ran into the chief's tent and said. She felt that the God Guards did not seem to be here to attack. Even if they were caught by Walpa, they did not resist, but shouted that they had something to say to the chief.
"God Guards? The guards of the current God Enel? What are they planning?"
The old chief was very confused after hearing this. Since Enel knew where they were hiding, why didn't he send people to eliminate them directly.
"Go check it out, Laqi."
The chief also felt something was wrong, so he decided to ask the Divine Guards; although he was reluctant to admit it, the Shandians were no match for the Sky Islanders, whether hundreds of years ago or now.
Not only the Shandians, but even the reclusive Ganfor was found by the Divine Guards. Some residents on Angel Island had Ganfor's whistle, so it was easy to contact him. "God, Enel was killed, and now it is the new God who is calling them."
After hearing this news, both Chief Shandia and Ganfor were shocked; Ganfor was a person who knew Enel's strength better, and after he heard from the Divine Guards about Kahn's intention to call them, he could not refuse to go to the Divine Realm.
The two parties made the decision almost at the same time, but the Shandians were more energetic. They led a group of elite warriors and weapons that had been prepared for a long time.
Coincidentally, the Shandians and Ganfor's group ran into each other again near Gaya Island.
For this former enemy, Wapa raised the incendiary cannon as soon as they met.
Seeing this, the people of the Divine Guards hurriedly dissuaded: "Wait a minute, everyone, Mr. Pente invited you here to discuss things, please don't do it."
"What Pente..."
"Wapa, stop, what should we choose, at least wait until we understand it before making a decision."
Before Wapa was about to take action, Chief Shandia stopped him. This time, the chief felt a glimmer of hope to return to Gaya Island from the Divine Guards.
Ganfor didn't care about Wapa. He knew that this Shandia warrior was a straightforward and hot-tempered person many years ago.
Following the Cloud River, the two parties came to the shrine one after another. But before they entered, they saw the four former priests with bandages all over their bodies, acting as guards at the door.
This was Kahn's order, and the injuries on their bodies were also left by Kahn's teaching; the newly adopted hounds needed to be polished well. After being taught a lesson by Kahn, these four priests finally listened to his orders well.
When they came to the inside of the shrine, the traces left after the war still existed, but the first thing that Shandia and Ganfor saw was the young man on the high seat.
At this time, Kahn was enjoying the shrine maid feeding him the fruit of the sky island, and Nico Robin used the ability of the flower-flower fruit to stretch out four hands to help him massage next to the recliner; although Nico Robin used the hard-collected results to exchange from Kahn to the location of the historical text.
But that was the highest cloud layer of the sky island, and it would still be difficult for her to get up without Kahn's help.
After seeing the people from Shandia and Ganfor rushing over, Nico Robin raised her eyebrows and asked, "Boss, they are here."
"Thank you for your hard work, Robin, I will take you there later."
After that, Kahn sat up from the recliner, and then smiled and said to the people from Shandia and Ganfor: "Chief Shandia, and the previous god, I am a merchant from the Kingdom of Alabasta in Qinghai, and I am here to trade with you."
Then, Kahn briefly explained his purpose and behavior.
Now most of his goals have been achieved. Next, Ali hopes that the remaining Shandia and Sky Island people can coexist peacefully, and then produce some Sky Island specialties for him, so that Kahn Chamber of Commerce will have its own special products.
He has no intention of becoming a god or ruling Sky Island, and the Shandia people are not a group that can easily succumb. Even if he chose Ganfor in the original book, it was a choice made after experiencing a life-and-death battle and the near destruction of Sky Island.
However, Ganfor should be one of the few people in Sky Island who understands the Shandians. Other people in Sky Island just think that Gaya Island belongs to them, while Ganfor is reflecting on right and wrong.
The discussion went smoothly. Both the Shandians and Ganfor agreed with Kahn.
Because Kahn not only had no intention of occupying Gaya Island, but also told the Shandians about the Lamp of Shangri-La, which is the golden bell on the highest cloud island. Kahn's ability to do this has made the Shandians grateful to him. Even Wapa, who has the most hot-tempered and impulsive personality, was very excited. If the chief was not there, he might have offered Kahn the highest gratitude of the Shandians.
They have worked hard for more than 400 years for this goal, and now it has been realized by Kahn. For the Shandians, this is the greatest favor.
Ganfor's Divine Guards were also released, and a matter that weighed on his mind was resolved. Therefore, he had almost no intention of refusing Kahn's request.
Fixed trading of Sky Island specialties is also a good thing for Sky Islanders. As for the quantity Kahn wants, Ganfor agreed without thinking; many Sky Islanders are more willing to trade for Qinghai's items. At most, they can recruit more people from the beret troops to collect them.
As for the two sides not being allowed to fight, both Chief Shandia and Ganfor agreed without hesitation. They have little reason to go to war now, but more because of the ownership of Jaya Island. However, for Kahn's request, they are willing to negotiate in a peaceful way. More importantly, the object
of negotiation is Ganfor. If it is replaced by Enel or the gods of four hundred years ago, I am afraid that the Shandians would rather die than choose war.
Whether it is Sky Islanders or Shandias, the number is too small. The front part is not as many as the standing army of Alabasta. In this case, if they still choose to continue the war, it will have a great impact on the Kahn Chamber of Commerce's trading of Sky Island specialties.
In this case, it is only suitable for making money in peace, and the benefits of war still depend on the Grand Line.
