"Hahahaha! Maybe you don't believe it, but I actually came here to have a look and catch up with Hawk Eyes to catch up on old times." Shanks laughed very freely and spread his hands.
As a standard idler, although he is also one of Four Emperors of New World, he does not like to stay in one place. He prefers to imitate Pirate King Roger and be an unrestrained and free person.
To a certain extent, these three talents, Roger, Shanks, and Luffy, are truly from the same origin, adhering to the human desire for unrestrained freedom and the courage to explore unknown things.
In contrast, other One Piece are just competing for wealth, fame and power.
Allen chuckled and nodded, "Okay, then I wish you a happy stay at Utopia. Also, if you need anything, you can come to me directly at the tallest tree in the center of the city."
"Thanks! I'll find you if I need anything."
With that said, Shanks raised the cup to signal, raised his head and poured all the sweet fruit wine inside into his stomach, and then burped with a satisfied look on his face.
Allen also drank up the drink in the cup before standing up and leaving this unique restaurant with Robin.
Standing on the bustling street, he raised his head and looked at the brand-new buildings around him and the people rushing in and out, and suddenly asked without looking back, "Do you think what Red-Haired just said is the truth?"
"It's hard to say. Judging from the intelligence we have so far, he seems to have a good relationship with the Navy and has almost never been hunted down. So it cannot be ruled out that he secretly cooperates with World Government in private." Robin replied meaningfully.
"Haha, you're right. This guy, like me, is the least pirate-like pirate. But it doesn't matter! So what if he is helping the World Government pass on information. Now we have a base that can be used as a rear area. No matter what actions the enemy takes, it will not change the final result." Allen's eyes flashed with confidence.
"At present, the entire Utopia has completed the most basic regional division and construction. What should be done next?" Robin asked, flipping through several aerial views in his hand.
Allen responded without thinking, "It's very simple! Establish administrative, taxation and judicial systems, and at the same time form a real army. Don't forget, our purpose is to set a model for all the forces that resist Celestial Dragons World Government, including Revolutionary Army, to tell them what a real country should look like."
"But we have too few manpower at our disposal! And if it is built exactly as you envisioned, it will simply not be sustainable with the current financial level." Robin bluntly pointed out the problem.
"There is no need to get it right in one step. Build the framework first and then fill it in slowly. The plan I gave you is just a development direction, not something that needs to be realized immediately. Compared to this, I am more concerned about the population. Only when the population is large enough can all of this be possible. So the top priority problem to be solved at this stage is how to attract immigrants faster." Allen explained casually.
As someone who has lived in modern society for a long time, it is of course impossible for him not to know the terrifying cost of maintaining the modern social structure.
Why do most third world countries never develop?
It's not because they accepted a series of complicated and high-cost systems in the West, but they did not have the corresponding cutting-edge industrial and financial systems. The result was inevitably tragic.
It can even be said that before productivity has developed to a certain extent and technology has not reached a certain level, directly copying the modern social system is tantamount to suicide.
The huge expenditure alone is enough to quickly collapse any regime.
But Utopia has a huge advantage, that is, inexhaustible natural resources.
Under the influence of Ten-Tails Divine Tree, this is the place with the highest concentration of Life Energy on the entire planet.
Therefore, whether it is plants, animals, or fish in the sea, the growth and reproduction speed will be far beyond Superman people's imagination.
And people living here will gradually become stronger than people in other places.
Robin stroked the long black hair beside his ears and said with a smile, "Don't worry about the immigration issue. Those passing merchant ships will soon spread the wealth and safety here to the entire world. By then, the civilians who have been ravaged by the war will definitely find ways to come here by ship to settle."
Allen nodded thoughtfully. "It makes sense. If you don't tell me, I almost forgot. Isn't Alabasta breaking out from Civil War? Send a few large ships over to accept as many fleeing people as possible and transport them over to become the new residents of Utopia. As long as there is sufficient labor, this place will soon become a true paradise on earth."
"Alabasta?" Robin's mouth twitched slightly. "BOSS! I need to remind you that Seven Warlords Crocodile still hates us."
"Hmph! It doesn't matter! Just send a few people with the ship. If he dares to come to trouble, I don't mind giving him another impressive lesson."
When saying these words, Allen did not hide his contempt and disdain for Sand Crocodile at all.
Because among the many Logia Ability User, this guy who doesn't know how to Haki is the most popular.
It is estimated that even Drake, Nami and Perona, who have the lowest combat power of Demon Pirates, can easily defeat this waste.
no way!
Who told Lao Sha not to exercise hard all day long, but only to think about some shady conspiracies?
He didn't have to think about it seriously with his brain, which was not much bigger than gravel. So what if he got Ancient Weapon Pluton with his own strength?
In the end, it's not just about making wedding clothes for others.
"OK! Got it!"
Robin quickly recorded this matter and prepared to implement it immediately after going to the meeting.
Although in the previous battle, "Endless Abyss" sank all the ships.
However, with the shipyard transferred from Whole Cake Island and the new engineering technology provided by Allen, not only the shipbuilding capacity was restored, but the craftsmanship and efficiency were greatly improved.
New ships are launched almost every day. Although most of them are fishing boats and small two-masted sailing ships, occasionally there are large ships with a displacement of hundreds or even thousands of tons.
In addition, various mines, gunpowder factories, basic industries such as Metal Smelting Workshop were also established, and small-scale attempts were made to produce swords, muskets, artillery and other weapons.
With full engineering knowledge, Allen successfully transformed the craftsmen who originally produced weapons and ammunition for Big Mom Pirates into engineers on the assembly line with little effort, and even provided them with precision machine tools manufactured with Thorium and Mithril.
It is estimated that it won't be long before something full of Steampunk style from Azerath will reappear in Utopia.
