Chapter 376: Deception x Vacant Throne

Seeing that there were many people around who wanted to talk to Cobra, Xia Jieren and Litte left.

It is worth mentioning that Princess Weiwei chose to travel with Xia Jieren and others.

Of course, Ikalem and Bell followed her closely to prevent any accidents.

Sitting aside, Litt started chatting with Princess Vivi.

Xia Jieren, on the other hand, was eating some extremely exquisite desserts.

"Everyone come and eat too! You're welcome!" Xia Jieren invited with a smile.

"No need!" Ikalem and Bell waved their hands.

They can't afford to lose face for the Kingdom of Alabasta.

Seeing this, Xia Jieren did not persuade him any further.

After a while, Cobra finally got rid of the others and came here.

Xia Jieren laughed and said, "Haha~, the Kingdom of Alabasta is indeed a great country with a profound heritage and such a wide network of contacts."

Xia Jieren's tone was full of sincerity and admiration.

Upon hearing this, Cobra waved his hands repeatedly and said modestly: "This is all because of everyone's giving me face."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Cobra got down to business: "Not long before we set out, the oil fields near Rapeseed Flower had already begun preparations for exploitation."

It can be heard that Cobra is very happy.

How could he not be happy...The reserves of the rapeseed oil field have been estimated to be about 120 billion tons, which can be said to be a huge oil field.

It contains about 1 trillion cubic meters of natural gas resources.

This time, the Kingdom of Alabasta can be said to have made a fortune.

Not only did the financial situation get alleviated, but the employment rate also increased significantly.

So far, the White Tiger Chamber of Commerce's official employees in the Kingdom of Alabasta have exceeded two hundred, and more than one thousand are in training.

Xia Jieren nodded slightly, he had already received the news.

So he smiled and said, "Haha~, this is a good start."

"Once the oil is extracted, Alabasta's finances will be very abundant."

Cobra nodded in agreement.

Then, he suddenly thought of something and said, "I asked an expert to look at the seeds your country brought to us some time ago. They are really excellent."

“I don’t know whether it can be supplied stably and on a large scale.”

"No problem!" Xia Jieren said without hesitation.

"The high-yield seeds developed by Shennong Group were originally intended to be sold."

"With them, the Kingdom of Alabasta will be able to have enough food and clothing in just a few years, and will no longer need to import large amounts of food from the outside world."

"Not only that, the Shennong Group can also purchase any excess grain in the future."

Hearing this, Cobra was very happy.

But he suddenly sighed and said, "Alas... It's a pity... There are too few oases that can be cultivated in the Kingdom of Alabasta."

Xia Jieren smiled indifferently: "We in the Netherlands Kingdom have a seawater desalination technology that can alleviate the problem of water shortage in the Alabasta Kingdom to a certain extent."

"Really?" Cobra said in surprise. It was obvious that he was looking forward to it very much.

Xia Jieren nodded heavily.

After that, they had a very pleasant chat and reached a number of agreements.

Of course, it is still a verbal agreement, but it is almost there.

Afterwards, the Kingdom of the Netherlands will provide the Kingdom of Alabasta with a large amount of food, high-yield seeds, and seawater desalination technology, and send people to help the Kingdom of Alabasta build an oasis.

Considering the financial difficulties of the Kingdom of Alabasta, payments are currently made in the form of oil and natural gas.

Not only that, Xia Jieren also took Cobra to imagine the future of the Kingdom of Alabasta.

There are oases everywhere, food is self-sufficient, railways run through the country, weapons and equipment are sophisticated, and people live a happy and fulfilling life.

Cobra was looking forward to such a future, but at the same time he also had some hidden worries in his heart.

As a king, he was well aware of the disadvantages of over-dependence on other countries, but the Kingdom of the Netherlands could indeed allow its citizens to live a happy life.

In the end, the belief in the welfare of the people prevailed.

Now, Cobra can only hope that the Kingdom of the Netherlands has no bad intentions towards the Kingdom of Alabasta.

Xia Jieren and Cobra chatted for a long time.

Then, Cobra stood up and said goodbye. He still needed to communicate with other kings.

However, when he left, he did not take Princess Vivi with him.

Weiwei is lively by nature and doesn't like to live a rigid life.

The social activities of the kings and their relatives lasted for two days.

The next day, Xia Jieren looked at the crowd who were still in high spirits and yawned out of boredom.

"These guys are really good at chatting." Xia Jieren complained in his heart.

During this period, Xia Jieren also visited other places in Mary Joa.

Surprisingly, Marijoa is not as deserted as imagined.

People come and go on the streets.

After careful observation, it can be found that the residents of [Marijoa] can be roughly divided into two categories.

One is the large number of slaves.

The second is the families of world government officials.

As for the Celestial Dragons, Xia Jieren didn't see any of them.

In [Pangu City], driven by curiosity, Xia Jieren and others also saw the so-called "vacant throne".

An old man with a gray beard introduced: "The 'Vacant Throne' represents the oath to uphold equality among kings of all countries and never harbor dictatorial ambitions."

Xia Jieren nodded repeatedly. Although he felt disdainful in his heart, he still had an expression that showed he had learned a lesson.

Then, the old man pointed to the weapons in front of the "vacant throne" and said, "The 20 weapons guarding the throne are the oath made by the 'first 800' who created this world 20 years ago."

“That place is the center of the world, a symbol of peace that no one can touch.”

"Just as the pinnacle of world power is held simultaneously by the Five Elders, the highest ranking members of the Celestial Dragons, there is no unique king in this world."

Listening to the old man's chatter, Xia Jieren looked at him carefully.

Later, Xia Jieren and others left after satisfying their curiosity.

Returning to the social arena, Xia Jieren still felt a little nervous.

"I was too impulsive." Xia Jieren reflected on himself.

His behavior just now was undoubtedly stupid. If he took the initiative to go there and Im noticed something was wrong, he would most likely be in danger.

After calming down, Xia Jieren decided to eat something to relieve his nerves.

Near noon, General Kuzan and Lieutenant General Garp arrived at the Social Square together.

As soon as they appeared, they instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Except for a few idiots or ignorant people, almost everyone knows the identities of Garp and Kuzan.

In the blink of an eye, Kuzan and Garp were surrounded.

Garp laughed and responded enthusiastically while eating senbei.

Kuzan scratched his head in distress, seeming to be not used to this kind of scene.

Xia Jieren and others stood in the distance, looking at Vice Admiral Garp curiously.

This was the first time he had seen him in person.

Xia Jieren was still very interested in the grandfather of the future child of destiny.
