"Is this really Whole Cake Island?!"
Ben Beckman stared at the endless land and forest in front of him, his mouth wide open with an expression of disbelief, and he didn't even notice that Xiangyan fell to the ground.
As First Mate of Red-Haired Pirates, he has been to this island full of fairy tale style and various desserts many times.
But now?
Everything familiar in the memory disappeared, replaced by rows of spectacular tree houses. Even the entire pier was made up of countless strangely shaped trees and vines.
Even from hundreds of meters away, you can still see a large number of colorful flowers in bloom, as well as the fragrant fragrance.
Of course, the most shocking thing is that a large piece of land rises from the sea floor, completely connecting the thirty-four islands into one, forming the largest landmass in the second half of Grand Line.
"Hahahaha! It's spectacular, isn't it?" Shanks laughed with his eyes shining.
Since sending the naval fleet away, he immediately ordered to return here, wanting to see how Allen would handle ruling this sea area.
But what he never expected was that the other party actually showed a terrifying power comparable to that of a god.
After all, whether it is raising the sea floor to create land or spreading dense forests to every corner in a short period of time, it is definitely not something that can be done easily.
But now, in less than a week, all these transformations have been completely completed.
Especially the various fruits that can be found everywhere, you can almost reach out and pick them.
Many residents are carrying baskets and baskets to pick these fruits and take them home to make wine or make jams, dried fruits and other products.
Everything looked so energetic, so different from the trembling days of Charlotte Linlin's reign.
Looking at the busy scene of this new terminal, Ben Beckman nodded slightly. "Yes! It won't take long, and this place will become quite prosperous and prosperous."
Soon, under the guidance of port officials, the Rend Foss slowly sailed into the port and docked at a berth specially prepared for large ships.
After paying enough management fees, this Four Emperor Pirate Crews finally successfully logged in.
But they did not rush to find Allen who had just climbed to the top and became Four Emperors. Instead, they wandered the streets of this port city that was expanded from a small town, and finally entered a restaurant, intending to eat and drink first.
As soon as he entered the door, a young and beautiful Long-Legged Tribe beauty came up to him with a smile, "Welcome! What would you like to eat?"
"Meat! Large chunks of delicious and juicy meat!" Laki·Lu said his favorite without hesitation.
"Hehe! There's also wine! Here's your best wine!" Yasopp added with a smile.
"Okay! Please wait!"
The waitress immediately bent down and bowed, then turned and ran into the kitchen.
After a while, generous portions of dishes and fine wine were brought to the table.
Since Red-Haired Pirates has never had any rules, everyone immediately started eating without any image.
Laki·Lu ate up the plate of sauced meat steak in front of him in less than a minute, and extended a thumbs up to praise, "Incredibly delicious! How on earth is this wonderful taste made?"
"It's spices! Ever since Lord Allen defeated BIG·MOM Pirate Crew and became the ruler here, a large number of trees and vines have been spawned through some incredible power, many of which are Spice Tree. Through continuous discovery and experimentation, we have been able to confirm that more than twenty of them can be used to make dishes." The waitress explained with pride.
"So that's it! So is it free for you to pick spices and fruits from the trees? You don't need to pay any compensation?" Ben Beckman asked very curiously.
"Yes! It's free! To be precise, all local residents living in "Utopia" can pick fruits and spices from the trees at will." The waitress gave the answer with a smile.
"Interesting! What about the outsiders?" Ben Beckman asked again with great interest.
"If outsiders are limited to eating, they will not be charged any fees. But if they want to ship it and take it away, they need to pay the corresponding amount to the port authority according to the quantity. Moreover, Lord Allen has also canceled the previous protection fee, and no longer has to pay one month of life every six months as before."
The waitress was obviously very satisfied with the policies implemented by the new rulers, and she talked endlessly about the recent changes.
It wasn't until a new customer walked into the restaurant that she reluctantly turned around and left.
Watching the Long-Legged Tribe beauty's back gradually disappear, Ben Beckman finally couldn't help but ask his captain, "Shanks, do you feel it?"
"Ah! How could you not feel it? This guy Allen... actually plans to build a real country here! And it is a rich and powerful country!" Red-Haired sighed as he drank up the wine in the quilt in one breath.
"World Government and the Navy will never allow New World to have a powerful country that threatens their rule!" Ben Beckman expressed the seriousness of the problem in one sentence.
Just when Red-Haired was about to say something, he suddenly saw two familiar figures pushing Opening Gate in from outside the restaurant.
moment!
Most of the dining guests in the entire restaurant subconsciously held their breath, while some had strong awe and fear in their eyes.
Long-Legged Tribe The beautiful waitress knelt down with a plop and greeted with a trembling voice, "Ai...Lord Allen! Robin Sir!"
"Don't be nervous, go about your business, I'm just here to meet some old friends."
After comforting the frightened woman for a while, Allen walked straight to Red-Haired Pirates's dining table and said with a smile, "Thank you for helping me drive away the ill-intentioned navy in the previous battle."
"Hahahaha! You're welcome! In fact, I am doing my best to ensure that the New World situation will not develop in the worst direction." Shanks scratched his head and responded with a laugh.
As a One Piece who has no ambitions and can be called "obeying the rules" by Five Elders, the last thing he wants to see is for the whole world to fall into chaos.
That's why in the original plot, he would actively run. On the one hand, he hoped that Whitebeard and Ace would give up the pursuit of Teach. On the other hand, when the situation was irreversible, he decisively intercepted Beasts Pirates who wanted to join Kaido to prevent the scale of the war from further expanding.
By the same token, what Red-Haired least wants to see right now is an all-out war between Demon Pirates and the navy.
"I know! Tell me, what's the purpose of your visit this time? Don't tell me, you just came here to take a look when you were bored."
Allen sat down unceremoniously, picked up an empty cup and poured himself a drink.
Since Ten-Tails Divine Tree controls all the plants in Utopia, no matter who it is, they will be discovered immediately as long as they come ashore.
There have been many One Piece who entered New World before, and I want to see if I can take advantage of it.
As a result, without exception, they were all arrested and thrown into the mines to work as coolies.
Not to mention, Red-Haired Pirates still entered openly through the port.
