Dimon has been unhappy with Morgans for a long time. He even slandered him as the chief culprit in destroying Ohara.
This may be World Government's instruction, but his News Bird Group is the executor, so Morgans has to settle this account.
When Artificial Devil Fruit comes out, it might attract this guy to Alabasta.
"Remember that the headquarters of World Economic Journal is an airship. It's not easy to find this birdman. We have to wait for him to come to your door. This time is an opportunity."
While thinking about it, Dimon walked out of the underground space and came to Rain Dinners on the upper floor.
The casino was bustling with people, and many gamblers were waving their chips.
Ignoring this, he walked out of the casino and was suddenly hit by a scorching heat.
The scorching sun in the sky was very hot, and the city buildings were baked to a shining light. The wind blowing on the face was scorching, and the air seemed to be trembling and distorting.
"So hot..."
Dimon complained softly.
Just then a gambler walked into the casino and couldn't help laughing when he heard this:
"Old man, it's the dry season now and it can get really hot. Find a place to escape the heat."
"Really?" Dimon smiled and silently turned on the winding. Haki isolated the heat and felt much refreshed.
"You are not a local, are you? Alabasta There are two distinct seasons, dry and wet. The dry season is like this, and the rainy season is fine."
After leaving a sentence, the gambler happily left and entered the casino.
Dimon ignored the bright sun and walked leisurely on the street of Rainbase.
The architecture of this country is full of Egyptian style. The casino Rain Banquet is like a pyramid with a golden crocodile statue lying on the top.
As a dream place and a port city, the business here is also prosperous.
On the commercial street, young women wearing cool summer clothes are a feast for the eyes of Dimon.
I don't know how the girls here take care of themselves. They don't even get tanned. They all have fair skin and beautiful faces, and have regular facial features. I don't see any ugly ones.
In addition, there are also city defense facilities, which seem to be used to fight against desert bandits.
After a brief stroll around the city, Dimon immediately left for the royal capital.
Royal Capital, Alubarna.
This city is separated from Rainbase by a large river.
Sandora River runs through the entire country from north to south, splits Alabasta in half from the middle, and finally merges into the sea.
To the west of Hexi is Rainbase, and not far from Hedong is the royal capital.
The city stands in the desert and is built on a circular foundation.
Taking Royal Palace in the center of the city as the base point, it can be divided into four blocks. At the end of each block, there is a wide staircase leading to the desert.
Dimon descended from the sky and stood in the sky, overlooking the entire city.
The king's wedding is approaching, and now the city is decorated with lights and colorful lights, filled with a festive atmosphere.
Rainbase is already a prosperous city, but Alubarna is even higher than Rainbase.
Observation Haki is shrouded in it, and it is roughly estimated that there are at least one million people.
A city with a population of one million would be on the level of Chang'an City in ancient times before time travel!
"It is indeed one of the great powers in the world. I heard that it has a standing army of 600,000 people. It is really rich."
Dimon feels deep in his heart.
For an army of 600,000 people, assuming that one person's monthly salary is 50,000 Beli, that is a military expenditure of 30 billion per month.
360 billion a year...
It is higher than Wano Country's annual financial income.
If it were any other country, Dimon would grab it directly, but Alabasta is a little different.
For the sake of Princess Vivi, who is not yet born, let's take some gentle measures.
The other side.
Royal Palace, Assembly Hall.
"Igaram, Rainbase, what's the reply there?"
"Your Majesty, Crocodile refuses to attend your wedding."
Igaram is tall and has a head of very distinctive curly hair. He looks a little angry at this time.
"That guy has gone too far lately and doesn't give you face at all."
Cobra waved his hand and said with a smile:
"Don't say that, Igaram, Crocodile are the heroes of our country. It is precisely because of his existence that pirates have not dared to attack easily in recent years, and our soldiers do not need to make fearless sacrifices."
He felt that Shichibukai's system was too good. Pirates suppressed pirates. World Government rarely did a great thing.
"In a few days, Didi and I will get married. I want to exempt the country from taxes this year and make everyone happy together."
"Eh? Tax-free?"
Igaram opened his eyes wide. Although our country is rich and wealthy, we cannot make such a casual decision.
"No!"
Suddenly, an old voice sounded in the meeting hall.
"Who!?"
Igaram's expression changed, and he immediately pulled out the sword from his waist, protecting King Cobra behind him.
In the hall, a black mist floated in, and an old man holding a cane suddenly appeared.
"Who are you?"
Cobra was shocked, Devil Fruit User?
And judging from the way it appears, it seems to be Logia!
"I haven't been active at sea for many years, and no one knows me now?" Dimon raised his eyebrows.
Igaram stared at Dimon's face, gradually recalled the news he had seen, and immediately spoke solemnly:
"Your Majesty, he may be that 'Hundred Year Swordmaster', Yamamoto Genryusai!"
"It's you," Cobra suddenly said in surprise, "The great swordsman who was very popular many years ago, what is the purpose of your visit to this country?"
"I've calculated that you and your wife will give birth to a daughter in the future, and I'm here to congratulate you."
Dimon said jokingly, "I have a destiny with your daughter."
What's the fate?!
Cobra has a dull expression on his face. Is this guy a fortune teller? Can you predict that he will have a daughter in the future?
If possible, he would like to have a son so that he can inherit the throne in the future.
"Forget it, I won't tease you young man anymore."
Dimon shook his head and said straight to the point, "I came to you because I want to make a deal with you."
"Old sir, what deal do you want to make?"
Cobra waved his hand, asking Igaram to put away his weapon.
The other party didn't look like a malicious person. If he was really malicious, he would have died the moment he appeared.
"I have a bottle of Elixir of Immortality in my hand, which can make four people immortal."
Dimon turned his palm to condense a bottle of wine and showed it to Cobra.
The famous Elixir of Immortality, how could you not know Cobra, who is a king?
He looked at Dimon in shock, "The transaction refers to this bottle of wine?"
No one can refuse immortality, especially since he is still young. If he drinks Elixir of Immortality, he will gain eternal youth.
"That's right." Dimon smiled slightly, "I don't need to say more about its value. The real Great Treasure cannot be measured by money."
"What do you want?" Cobra was moved.
Igaram, however, had a serious face and whispered, "Your Majesty, I'm not sure if it's true or not. Only the legendary winemaker can brew this thing."
Naturally, this sound cannot be hidden from Dimon's ears.
He said with a smile, "I don't need Devil Fruit, and I guess you don't either, so I want one trillion, and this bottle of wine is yours."
When they heard this, both of them changed their expressions.
One trillion?
That is such a huge number, not even Alabasta can come up with that much.
"Don't worry, I know you can't take it out, so you can pay it in installments, 50 billion per year for the next 20 years."
Cobra said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry, even if it's 50 billion per year, I can't exchange that much money for your wine."
50 billion can be spent, but it will affect the normal operation of the country.
As a king, he remained calm and restrained.
"I can give it to you for free in the first year, and I can also give you the wine first. Every year after that, 50 billion will be sent to Rainbase's Rain Banquet. Crocodile is my little brother."
"Well, farewell, young king."
With a chuckle, Dimon threw the wine directly to Cobra, and the figure disappeared instantly.
He is not afraid of Cobra defaulting on his debt either.
If he defaults on his debt, he will use his future daughter to pay off the debt!
