Pirates start with breathing in the complete set
Chapter 161: Contradictions
"Get rich, get rich, hahahaha..."
With Robin's help, Rogge and the others got the remaining one billion Beli that night. After getting Rogge's permission, Nami opened several boxes of money and scattered them all over her shop. At this time, she was in the pile of banknotes. Rolling in excitement.
This is probably the happiest moment since she went to sea!
Anyway, Crocodile has been captured, and Robin no longer pretends to show off, and simply helps Rogge directly cut off the cash flow of Baroque Co., Ltd., and prepares to pack it up and take him away!
Although Crocodile had arranged for other confidants besides Robin, Crocodile himself fell into Rogge's hands, and Baroque Co., Ltd. could only let Rogge and the others rub it.
A rough estimate shows that, excluding fixed assets, Baroque Works has a cash flow of at least 30 billion berries!
This money, plus what Rogge won yesterday, is enough for him to fully customize a perfect sky island!
……
the next day.
Rogge and the others took the camel caravan arranged by Weiwei early in the morning and headed to Albana, the royal capital of Alabasta.
Weiwei had a long conversation with the current king of Alabasta, Neferutali Cobra, last night. After Cobra knew the whole story, he invited Rogge and his entourage to the royal capital of Alabasta. Albana.
One is to thank Rogge and pay Rogge’s reward.
The second is to ask Rogge to contact Visalia, the weather island, and ask the meteorologists in Visalia to solve the problem of abnormal weather in Alabasta.
After all, this country is under the secret influence of Crocodile. In the past three years, apart from the Rain Land, only the royal capital Albana has received rain, and the people have already been miserable.
With the royal army of Alabasta escorting them, and camels to ride on, Rogge and the others were very comfortable along the way, and arrived at Albana, the royal capital of Alabasta, in the evening of the same day.
……
Alabasta Palace Banquet Hall.
"Welcome to Alabasta, and thank you for helping us solve this country's chronic problems. On behalf of the people of Alabasta, I would like to toast you!"
In front of the dinner table, King Kobra of Alabasta raised his glass and made a speech.
"Ah hahaha, it's all trivial. It's just a Shichibukai. I, Uncle Bucky, can only catch this kind of trash!" Bucky responded first.
"Hahaha, thank you very much!"
Cobra raised his glass to greet Bucky, and then drank the glass of wine first.
The banquet hall in Alabasta was splendid. Most of Rogge and his group were very reserved. They had never had the experience of being surrounded by a group of people for dinner.
But this does not include Bucky. He was once a crew member of Roger the Pirate King, but he has seen big scenes!
So I didn’t regard myself as an outsider at all. I was not polite at all when I ate, and there was no grace at all!
Although Chopper was also very restrained, he saw Bucky setting an example for him, imitating everything and eating well.
The only person present who was suitable for this kind of table manners and ate very elegantly was Robin. After she was full, she held a glass of red wine and looked at everyone eating and drinking with blurred eyes and a smile.
Robin hasn't felt so relaxed for a long time...
……
After having enough wine and food, it was finally time to talk business.
Rogge asked the others to rest first, and he and King Kobra of Alabasta came to the terrace of the palace.
There are only two of them here.
"Mr. Rogge, thank you very much for saving our little girl Weiwei and helping us remove the cancer in the kingdom. Such a great kindness cannot be repaid."
Cobra thanked Rogge sincerely.
"It's nothing. Just remember to pay the balance that Weiwei promised me. I'm very short of money recently."
Rogge jumped up and sat on the railing and said indifferently.
"excuse me……"
Cobra hesitated for a moment, then asked Rogge: "Weren't you a navy before? Why did you take action against the Celestial Dragons..."
"Curious?"
Rogg glanced at Cobra and said, Cobra was embarrassed and prepared to reveal the matter. Rogg said to Cobra nonchalantly: "The thing is like this, I will execute a plan with Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel. Escort mission, result..."
……
A few minutes later, after listening to Rogge's story, Kobra said angrily: "Have these people fallen to this level now?"
"Do you want to atone for your sins?" Rogge suddenly asked Kobra.
"Atonement?"
Monk Kobra Zhanger was confused and didn't know what Rogge meant.
"At the beginning, your ancestors and the coalition of twenty kingdoms overthrew the huge kingdom that disappeared in history and established the world government.
It was not until the end that your ancestors realized that they had been deceived and accidentally killed a good person. Feeling guilty, they gave up the opportunity to become a Draco, left Mariejoia and returned to Alabasta.
That mysterious kingdom also forgave you and even gave you their weapon, Pluto, for safekeeping. "
Rogge slowly and leisurely told Cobra the deepest hidden history of their country. Cobra was panicked and didn't know how to talk to him for a moment.
Just then there was a "pop" sound, and an ear hidden on the back of the railing suddenly turned into a petal.
"Robin, come out. I just said this to you by the way."
Rogge had long discovered that Robin used the flower fruit's ability to create an ear to eavesdrop in the dark, but Rogge did not expose her.
Wanting to make Robin believe that he can help him is actually the same policy as Fujitora, which is to make them understand that what they are doing is the right thing.
It's that simple.
"Is there anyone else here!?"
Cobra said in horror: "How do you know this kind of thing? You can't let this matter get out, otherwise Alabasta will never have peace!"
Cobra came back to his senses and said to Rogge firmly, his words already contained some murderous intent!
"tread."
"tread."
"tread."
……
With the sound of "tapping" high heels, Robin walked out of the darkness and asked Rogge with a surprised look on his face: "How do you know this?"
At this point, she looked at Kobra's expression and asked him in disbelief: "Is what Rogge just said true?"
"..."
Cobra was silent, but his silence was equivalent to acquiescence in this situation.
"Robin, do you know why there are 100 years of blank time in history?" Rogge suddenly asked Robin.
"Any historical record of this period has been erased by the World Government, except for historical texts scattered around the world that record the history of that era."
Robin replied that this was something everyone knew, and she was curious why Roger asked her that.
"Then let me ask you, if you are the world government now and need to erase the history of the existence of this huge country, Alabasta, what do you think you should do?"
Rogge suddenly asked an irrelevant question, but his question made Cobra frown in displeasure.
"Of course we will destroy this country first, and then erase all records about Alabasta in the world..."
Robin paused at this point, because she found that this was absolutely impossible!
When a huge country is established, it must go through a process from scratch.
In this long process, this country will inevitably have political, economic and cultural exchanges with neighboring countries.
This will be an extremely long process.
Therefore, if you just eliminate the people of a country, there is no way for it to be directly erased from history, unless all countries that have intersections with Alabasta can be erased together.
Therefore, there are no records about this country in the world 100 years ago. If there are records about this country 100 years ago, and the world government wants to eliminate the existence of this country, then the history of the blank 100 years ago will definitely be There is a sense of fragmentation.
But there is no such huge sense of separation in the existing history. That huge and mysterious kingdom suddenly appeared in history and then suddenly disappeared from history.
It's as if a country appeared out of thin air.
This is also the reason why the world government can easily erase the existence of this kingdom after a blank 100 years.
"Did you find it too?"
Rogge saw that Robin and Cobra were both bowing their heads in thought, and then continued: "If you want Alabasta to disappear from history, in addition to erasing Alabasta, any person in the world who has diplomatic relations with Alabasta or has Countries with trade contacts will be wiped out together!
Only in this way can we ensure that Alabasta will not appear in history, which is almost impossible to do!
but……
The world government has done it before. They really erased the traces of the existence of a huge country from history! "
When Rogge said this, Robin asked Rogge eagerly: "What else do you know about this huge kingdom?"
Robin's expression is extremely fanatical now. Pursuing the true history is the only meaning in her life now!
"You can ask him. His ancestors participated in this war back then, and the Alabasta Society is also an ally of the World Government. Their royal library may have some unknown records."
Rogge raised his chin at Cobra and said.
"All relevant records have been destroyed by the World Government."
Cobra continued helplessly: "Otherwise, Alabasta would not have been peaceful until now.
So what else do you know about that kingdom? "
Cobra also asked Rogge curiously.
Seeing Cobra's curiosity, Rogge knew that the fish had taken the bait. He smiled and said to Cobra: "I have some guesses and evidence about this issue, and I can tell you, but I ask for an exchange!"
"What exchange?" Kobra asked warily.
"Your country holds the secret of how to recycle Devil Fruit, so use this secret in exchange for the secret I know!"
After Rogge finished speaking, Cobra and Robin both looked shocked.
Cobra immediately adjusted his expression and asked Rogge seriously: "How do you know?"
“Please, your patron beasts of Alabasta are the Falcon and the Jackal, and your country has been in possession of these two Devil Fruits for so many years.
Anyone with a discerning eye would know with just a guess that your royal family in Alabasta must have mastered the method of recycling Devil Fruits, right? "Roger said speechlessly.
"Uh……"
Cobra's tone was choked, and then he said: "I can help you recover the Devil Fruit, but I can't tell you the method.
And to recover the fruit, you must wait until the person with the original ability dies, otherwise I won’t help you! "
"What if that ability user is a heinous person?" Rogge curled his lips and asked.
"If that person with abilities is really heinous, I can help you recover his abilities from such a person.
But I will help you only if I personally confirm that this person is indeed a bad person. I will not hurt any innocent people! "
Kobra said firmly, with no room for negotiation in his tone.
"Don't worry, this person is a bastard who destroyed an island!" Rogge said, with the figure of Enel in his mind.
This bastard's thunder fruit is worth recycling, and he happens to be a bastard and won't make it difficult for Kobra.
"I promised you, now it's your turn to satisfy my curiosity."
Cobra couldn't wait to ask Rogge. He was curious about what happened to the huge kingdom that disappeared in the blank 100 years.
"What kind of conflicts between people do you think are irreconcilable?" Rogge asked them suddenly.
"What kind of conflicts are irreconcilable?"
Cobra and Robin looked at each other, lowering their heads to think together.
But Cobra thought for a while but couldn't figure out the whole context, and asked Rogge eagerly: "But what does this have to do with the blank 100 years of history?"
"How come it doesn't matter?"
Rogge looked at Kobra with caring eyes, and continued: "If it's just a general conflict, then why do you think the world government formed such a large coalition to destroy that mysterious huge kingdom? Erase all traces of their existence?
How much hatred is there for the World Government to do this? "
Cobra choked on Rogge's words and blushed, then calmed down to think again.
But he lacked some imagination and couldn't figure it out after thinking for a long time. Finally, Kobra turned his attention to Nico Robin for help.
Robin didn't think about it either, so the two of them turned their attention to Rogge at the same time.
"Ugh."
Rogge sighed and said to the two of them with hatred: "In this world, there is only one irreconcilable contradiction between people, and that is class conflict!"
"Class conflict?"
Cobra and Robin both heard this term for the first time and looked at each other.
In the end, Kobra couldn't restrain his curiosity and shamelessly asked Rogdu: "What is class conflict?"
"If there was such a country in the world, there would be no shortage of food or housing, everyone could live and work in peace and contentment, everyone would be equal and there would be no oppression, and the whole country would be full of happiness and joy..."
Rogge paused here and then asked Kobra: "If the poor people in the world knew that such a country still existed in the world, what would they do?"
"Of course we'll move there!" Kobra replied without thinking.
With Robin's help, Rogge and the others got the remaining one billion Beli that night. After getting Rogge's permission, Nami opened several boxes of money and scattered them all over her shop. At this time, she was in the pile of banknotes. Rolling in excitement.
