    "My lord, the Ministry of Intelligence has sent back the latest news that the sick tiger has missed."

    In the study, looking at Sean who was reading a book, Catherine the Catwoman reported the latest information.

    Hearing this, Sean frowned, feeling a little surprised, and put down the book in his hand.

    "Missed? What is the specific situation?"

    "According to the news from the intelligence agency, Sick Tiger was about to capture Bakaren at that time, but at this moment, a man of unknown origin suddenly appeared, easily defeated Sick Tiger, and took Bakaren away.  A person with the natural rustling fruit ability."

    Hearing this, a funny smile appeared on Sean's face.

    "It's interesting, it's really interesting. First, the fruit was burned, and now there is a rustling fruit. It seems that Alabasta is really an outstanding person."

    By this time, Sean was really interested in this matter.

    "How is Sick Tiger doing now?"

    Looking at Catwoman, Sean asked again.

    "The sick tiger has lost contact with us now, but judging from his life card, although he was seriously injured, his life is not in danger. He should be lost in the desert."

    With her head down, Catwoman answered Sean's question.

    "Is that so? I just want to go out for a walk, so let's go to Alabasta."

    With a smile on his face, Sean made a decision.

    "Yes, my lord, I will arrange the boat immediately."

    "No, this time I can go alone. After I leave, you will be responsible for everything on Black Crow Island. If there are any powerful enemies that cannot be solved, you can hand them over to Black Feather."

    After ordering casually, the golden light flickered, and Xiao En disappeared into the study.

    Black Feather's resonance experiment was a great success, and Sean has nothing important to do on Black Crow Island in a short period of time, so going out to find inspiration is also a good choice.

    ·············································  ···

    Alabasta, a giant island with a vast territory and a population of over ten million, is one of the rare populous countries in the world of One Piece. Unfortunately, the environment here is too harsh and the people's lives are very poor.

    Rapeseed Flower Market, the port city of Alabasta, is also the first stop for foreigners to land in Alabasta.

    Leaving from the merchant ship he was on, seeing kung fu manatees competing with others by the sea, and walking on the streets full of exotic customs, Sean looked very relaxed.

    "It's really unpalatable."

    Taking a bite of the date cake in his hand, feeling the rough taste, Xiao En frowned slightly, and threw it to the beggars on the side of the road, which quickly caused a rush of looting.

    Alabasta has a typical desert climate, with frequent droughts and little rainfall throughout the year. Although the country has a vast area, the arable area is very limited, and safflower is their main crop.

    Elaeagnus argyi is a plant that is extremely resistant to drought and sandstorms. Its roots can penetrate nearly ten meters underground and only need a small amount of water to survive. The fruit it bears can be ground into flour after drying.  The date cake baked from the date noodles can not only satisfy the hunger, but also is extremely durable to storage. Without any special treatment, it will not go bad even if it is left there for two or three years.  An extremely strange phenomenon is that at some point the date cake can also be used as currency.

    Of course, the date cake is good, but for Sean, apart from the slight sweetness, there is really nothing to praise. The taste is rough, and it is no different from chewing a handful of sand in the mouth. It is hard to swallow  .

    "Life in this place is really hard."

    Walking around the streets, this is Sean's first impression of Alabasta.

    As a port city, Rapeseed Flower Market is a relatively prosperous city in Alabasta. There are many businessmen here, and the wealth that flows every day is actually quite a lot. It is a pity that this wealth not only belongs to a very small number of people, but most of these people are still  people from other countries.

    Although Alabasta has a desert climate with little arable land and underdeveloped agriculture, it needs to import food from other countries every year, but the minerals here are very rich. As long as it is developed, it will be a mountain of gold and silver. But the strange thing is that the current Alabasta  Seventy percent of the mineral veins discovered in Palestine belonged to forces in other countries, one percent belonged to the royal family of Alabasta, and only the remaining 20 percent belonged to the people of Alabasta.

    ? Such unreasonable ownership of mine veins has led many native Alabastas to rely on selling cheapLaborers dig ore from the ground in Alabasta in exchange for meager wages from people from other countries to make ends meet.

    Under such circumstances, Alabasta, a country with a large population, has become one of the many poor countries in the world of One Piece, and this situation has lasted for nearly two hundred years, so long that many Alabasta people  I have become accustomed to it.

    The founders of the Kingdom of Alabasta were the Naferutali family. They were once a member of the 20 Draconian families. However, after the establishment of the World Government, they did not move into the holy land of Mariejoa like other Draconian families.  Dwelling, but voluntarily relinquished the rights of the Draconians to create Alabasta.

    In the world war more than two hundred years ago, the Naferutali family, as the former Tianlong family, led the Alabasta kingdom to stand in the camp of the revolutionary army with a clear banner, and made contributions to the victory of the revolution.  A contribution that cannot be ignored. According to statistics, at the most intense moment of the war, Alabasta once formed an army of up to one million and went to the battlefield. It can be said that the banner of the victory of the revolution was once dyed red by the blood of the Alabasta people.

    But it is a pity that after the victory of the revolution, Alabasta, which made a major contribution, did not get a corresponding reward.

    When the interests began to be divided after the victory of the war, Alabasta was targeted by other forces, and the reason was that the Naferutali family was a Celestial Dragon. Although this reason is a bit absurd now, after all, Naferutali  The family not only gave up their identity as Tianlong people long ago, but their performance in the war is enough to explain everything, but they were recognized by many people at that time.  On the one hand, it is because of the interests of killing people. If there is one less person who divides the cake, others will naturally be able to share more.

    The most weird thing is that not long after this incident ended, Alabasta's palace was attacked by a group of pirates. In that attack, not only Alabasta's palace was burned to the ground, but  The Firutali family was also slaughtered.

    Under normal circumstances, the slaughter of the royal family of a big country by pirates will inevitably cause an uproar in the world, but that time, it seemed that there was an invisible big hand manipulating everything in secret, and the influence of this matter was always limited to Alabasta  At that time, only Lu Fei, the Pirate King at that time, rushed back from the new world in person, wanting to find the murderer and avenge his friends, but it was a pity that those pirates who did not know their identities had already gone there, and in the end they had to  Can let it go, after all, One Piece is just a person, not a god.

    The aftermath subsided at an unimaginable speed, and the governor of Alabasta, Nijati Barker, quickly took over the rights of the royal family, and became the new king of Alabasta with the support of a group of people.

    Of course, in order to show his loyalty, Nijati Bakke did not change the name of the country after he took office, and still used the title of Alabasta, but from this time on, the royal family of Alabasta changed from Naferutali to Naferutali.  Became Nicati.

    Shortly after Nicati Bak took the throne, he used the urgent need for materials for post-war reconstruction as an excuse, reached cooperation with many countries, and sold the ownership and development rights of domestic minerals. From this time on, the people of Alabasta  Started a life of poverty for 200 years.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
