Pirates: Your Emperor is Back!

"God?"

Hearing this answer, Crocodile frowned, a little confused.

He participated in some of the meetings of the Universal Alliance as an observer, so he had an understanding of the general course of action, so he was even more confused.

Luo Wen once said personally that in the initial stage of establishing the Universal Alliance, it is necessary to break the monopoly of the world government as soon as possible at the "non-force" level, establish fixed routes, and make the connections between various places closer.

This is the purpose of this trip to Magnetic Drum Island.

They successfully build a "bridge" between Alabasta and Drum Island.

The establishment of this fixed route turned the originally extremely dangerous long-distance voyage into a direct highway.

During the voyage, if extreme weather is encountered, troops stationed in various places will provide support at the fastest speed.

As for the group of pirates, according to Rowan's plan, no one would dare to easily attack ships with the flag of the Universal Alliance in the near future.

Numerous experts in the field of medicine will continue to travel between Alabasta and Drum Island via this safe and fixed route with their valuable knowledge.

Taking advantage of the advantages of their respective countries, sooner or later, these scholars will be able to push the medical fields of the two countries to new heights!

Research talents in the medical field are of great importance to a country. They can not only be used for people's livelihood, but also an indispensable and precious resource in times of war.

At the same time, even if the world government knows all this, it is powerless to change this fact.

Ordinary medical research is not the study of real history, and the world government cannot reproduce the scene of the archaeological island of O'Hara.

Rowan has grasped the action ideas of the world government so tightly that they can't find the so-called "legitimate reason" at all!

And if you continue to think about it according to this line of thought, Crocodile can give many fixed routes that are necessary to establish.

For example, the capital of the Seven Waters is known as the "World Shipyard". Most of the navy's warships today are made by the shipwrights of that island.

Even if it is impossible for the world government to allow the capital of the seven waters to build warships for Alabasta, the craftsmen of Alabasta can learn the shipbuilding technology there through the sea route.

These technologies, like medicine, can be used not only for people's livelihood, but also for "other" purposes at critical moments.

Another example is the Murloc Island located 10,000 meters below the Chambord Islands, in the deep sea.

The race between murlocs and humans has a long history, and it is impossible for ordinary human kingdoms to realize navigation with murloc islands.

But Rowan is different.

Not long ago, on behalf of Alabasta, he took in a group of murloc refugees—more precisely, murloc slaves, and even helped them establish their own village.

This is unimaginable for the murlocs!

This alone gave Rowan the qualification to contact the Fishman Island.

Forming an alliance with the Fishman Island, what it brings to the Universal Alliance will be different from medicine or shipbuilding technology, but purer maritime combat power!

May I ask how many people in this world can compete with the murlocs in the sea?

...

Crocodile felt that his idea was two good choices, so he was even more puzzled by Rowan's words.

"You want... to go to heaven?"

Rowan nodded, "Yes, God."

"What's in the sky?"

"Island." Rowan replied.

Hearing this, Crocodile understood what Rowan was talking about.

An island in the sky—that is, an island in the sky.

Rowan's next step is to go to the empty island!

But after learning the truth, Crocodile became even more confused.

Sky Island——Because of the relatively closed relationship between the islands of the Great Route, this name is completely a legend to the people in the surrounding waters.

People who "only wander" in this sea area don't believe in the existence of Sky Island at all.

But Crocodile is different, but after wandering in the sea for many years, he naturally understands that the so-called "empty island" is just a special kind of island, and it really exists.

He has even dealt with many Sky Islanders, and he is almost no different from ordinary people except for two small wings on his back.

Crocodile said with a dark smile: "I didn't know there was an empty island on this route."

"some."

Rowan nodded, "It's over Gaya Island, but there is no normal route to that island on this route, so no one has been there for many years."

Crocodile's eyes moved slightly.

He wasn't curious how Rowan knew this information, maybe it was some special channel?

What really puzzled Crocodile was something else.

"Next, why did you choose there?"

"Because it's in the sky."

Rowan replied.

Crocodile couldn't help sneering, just about to curse "nonsense", but suddenly he seemed to think of something.

"Wait...the sky?"

Rowan nodded, hooked his fingers, and condensed the outrageously accurate sand table model.

The first thing to condense was Alabasta.

"Before the Four Seas Alliance has a firm foothold, the world government will inevitably find an opportunity to intervene."

"At the level of force, I believe I have given the world government a good answer, so they will choose to obstruct at the level of business or rules."

"Drum Island is a neighboring country, so it's okay to say, but Alabasta is too far away from the capital of seven waters or Murloc Island, and it must pass through several islands for supplies."

Rowan moved his fingers, and outlined some sand table maps of the first half of the great route.

After connecting the islands with gravel, the situation became clear at a glance.

"These islands have nothing to do with the Four Seas Alliance at this stage, so they will inevitably obey the orders of the world government."

"Either seize the cargo for interrogation, or simply prohibit the crew of the Universal Alliance from going to sea in the name of inspection."

"It's cumbersome to try to deal with this without tearing your face."

When Luo Wen said this, he suddenly smiled and said: "So, we have to establish a route that the world government cannot manage."

He moved his fingers, and two gravel islands suddenly appeared, above and below Alabasta.

Crocodile's eyes narrowed, revealing a strange light.

Rowan went on to explain:

"Using the fishman village as a node, seabed villages can be developed under the sea and connected to the fishman island."

"As for the sky, once the fixed route with Sky Island is established, the entire Four Seas Alliance can overcome the possible restrictions of the world government and achieve a three-dimensional front of the trinity of sea, land and air!"

waved.

Wow...

The exquisite sand table was blown away by the wind, leaving only Crocodile in deep thought.

After a few breaths, Crocodile finally sorted out Rowan's train of thought completely, and couldn't help sighing.

Ryan Rowan's style of doing things has always been like this.

Although someone from the World Government must be able to see Luo Wen's plan, there is really nothing they can do about it.

Crocodile lit himself a cigar.

Luo Wen suddenly said from the side: "Speaking of which, God is very troublesome, right?"

Crocodile nodded: "Indeed."

Rowan continued to ask: "The unknown sky island is probably a very troublesome place, right?"

Crocodile nodded again, "Indeed."

Luo Wen asked again: "This operation needs to bring a lot of people, right?"

Although Crocodile felt that Rowan had a lot of questions, he nodded again and said, "Indeed."

Luo Wen followed up and asked: "So you will come too, right?"

Crocodile said bluntly: "Indeed."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Crocodile: "Huh?"
