One Piece: King of the World

Chapter 370 The strongest country in the world-Elbaf.

(One more)

Holy land, Mariejois, Claudius’s palace, at this time Claudius is sitting in his study and reading.

In his hand he held a copy of “Information about the Kingdom of Giants”, which tells the story about the Kingdom of Giants.

As the world’s most powerful country, the military power of the country of giants is very powerful. After every giant grows up, with a little training, he can become the Vice Admiral-level combat power of Naval Headquarters, although it belongs to the’entry-level’ in Vice Admiral. The fighting capacity of the people, but you can’t hold back many family members!

The kingdom of giants-Elbaf is less than tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of adult giants, converted into combat power, that is, they can pull hundreds of thousands of Vice Admiral grades in one go, and the best of them become stronger The existence of is also normal?

This is the fundamental reason why the kingdom of giants can sit firmly as the world’s largest power. Their fighters are strong enough, and they are large enough, quantitative changes cause qualitative changes, and they treat all kinds of dissatisfaction.

The entire Elbaf is divided into two huge factions. One of them is more wild and violent. In the world’s perception, it is called the barbaric, while the other is very gentle and polite, and is called “moderate”. group’.

The barbaric giants are brave and combative. Once they go out to sea, they will inevitably become pirates or mercenaries.

On the other hand, there are some agreements with the World government. Many docile giants will consider going to Naval Headquarters when they reach adulthood and become the Vice Admiral of Naval Headquarters.

Naval Headquarters also has exclusive giant combat troops, in short, whether they are moderate or barbaric, they are quite powerful.

Claudius will read this book because CP-X has been in contact with Elbaf recently and has started some friendly cooperation.

Not all giants like to fight and kill, there are also those who like to be cooks, adventurers, and those who like to live peacefully. Diversity is the fundamental factor in the formation of a country’s society. ?

However, due to the huge size of the giants, they have not been able to communicate with other countries. It is not because of belligerence or the like, but because of a very simple reason, difference.

The things used in the kingdom of giants are too huge. The goods they produce have no market, and the things they need are too expensive. Take a drinking cup as an example. One of their cups is cost-effective. In other words, it is dozens, hundreds of times, or even higher than that of ordinary human cups.

But the value of currency is the same. Everyone uses Baileys. That’s good. Generally, humans buy a cup with a thousand Baileys. There is no financial pressure. If the giants want to buy a cup from the sea, you don’t need to pay three or five. Wan Bailey’s, who will sell it to you?

Coupled with transportation costs and the like, in short, the gains outweigh the losses.

As a result, Elbaf has little communication with other countries. Simply put, it means that you can’t urinate in a pot.

Now that the development of the Calm Belt has entered a new stage, it needs to invest more manpower and material resources, but the number of labor in The fish men island is so large, if it can’t provide more labor, it can’t extract more resources. islands.

At this time, Claudius hit his idea to the kingdom of giants.

Although Elbaf has some cooperation with the World government, such as the giant Vice Admiral, but because their country’s military power is very strong, as the strongest country, even if it is located in New World, it does not need to rely on the protection of the World government. They can protect themselves.

In addition, due to the inability to connect the world economy, it can only be self-sufficient, as well as some cultural and other related factors, it has always been in the primary form of the country in the village and tribal alliance. Something like gold.

From the perspective of the life expectancy of giants at every three hundred years, if you look a little longer, you can live for four to five hundred years. The world government has been established for eight hundred years, and it is not such a deterrent organization.

Eight hundred years? For some of the youngest giants now, how much deterrence can there be for the things of’my grandfather’s generation’?

My Elbaf has a history of thousands of years and I haven’t done anything to you?

In short, the world’s strongest country has not joined the World government system, and the idea of ​​making Elbaf one of the more than 170 participating countries is what the World government has been doing for more than 800 years. matter.

For humans, it has been a long time to do such a thing for hundreds of years, but for Elbaf, that is, the grandfather’s generation did not get it right, talk about it, and talk slowly. Talking about three or two hundred years is not a big problem.

So this matter has been dragged down.

Claudius wants to form a new regime. Naturally, he also wants to get the participation of Elbaf, the country of giants, and the way he thinks is to make progress gradually. I will first cooperate with you. Let’s consider things other than combat effectiveness. Let me show you. If you Elbaf join the World government, what benefits will you get?

So just like The fish men island, Claudius directly intends to start the first cooperation between the two sides by hiring labor.

There are several favorable factors in this. The first factor is that the giant murlocs or mermaids of The fish men island should not be too many, three to five meters high, shark girls like Shyarly, all over the street, and similar There are also giant-like mermaids and murlocs like Princess Shirahoshi and King Neptune.

This has caused the fish men island to form a complete and huge social system for thousands of years, ranging from generally huge to completely huge.

This production system, when placed on Elbaf, directly enveloped a giant from childhood to adulthood, and there was nothing wrong with it.

In other words, Claudius has a system that can adapt to them and integrates and communicates without any problems.

The second favorable factor is that Claudius can pay them according to the actual labor, not the average head or average salary.

Within the framework of the world, the consumption level of the giants should be about one hundred times that of an ordinary human, but their power is almost equal to it.

However, if you want them to do mental work to bridge the gap, it is simply embarrassing, but if it is physical work, it is completely worth the price.

Claudius is going to let them go to the Calm Belt to mine. The workload of a giant is even far more than three to five hundred ordinary humans, which may be thirty to fifty times stronger than the strong men of the murloc.

In this way, the benefits and value it brings will naturally increase exponentially. After creating the doubled value, it is reasonable for Claudius to pay them the equivalent of Pele.

In this way, Claudius has accelerated the development of the Calm Belt, and Elbaf can harvest a huge amount of Pele and gradually become rich. With the fish men island social system as the hub, it can connect with the world. Isn’t it the best of both worlds?

Once this cooperation has built enough trust, Claudius is ready to incorporate Elbaf into the franchise system of the World government after it seizes power. When the time comes, the strongest country will join, and the world government’s signature will have a higher gold content. .

Therefore, during this period of time, Claudius has arranged the arrangements to be similar, and just waited for the World Summit to be held in the middle of the year. The other party, so that you don’t get a black eye when you don’t understand anything.

“”Prince Rocky? This guy’s aesthetics is almost the same as that of Robin. Later, he seems to have fallen in love with one of the ugly daughters of the old lady of Charlotte- Linlin… “”” Claudius looked at the name of Rocky in the book , Smiled and whispered.

At this moment, the door of the room was knocked slightly, Claudius responded, and then the housekeeper Nya pushed the door and walked in, holding a gilded document in his hand.

“His Royal Highness, this was sent by the adults of Five Elders.” The butler Nya handed the documents in his hand to Claudius and explained softly.

Claudius nodded, opened his hand, a smile hung on the corner of his mouth, and said, “The dust is settled… Shen”

This document is officially recognized by the World government that Sha-Crocodile has become the king of Alabasta. All the power of the Nafirutali clan in the World government will be inherited by Crocodile. Alabasta still enjoys the power of a member country under the World government. Of course, a corresponding price must be paid.

Originally, Claudius could handle things in a mere franchise country by himself. For example, Dressrosa, Claudius just said hello and finished it.

However, the Nafirutali clan is indeed a bit special. In other words, they are descendants of the twenty kings, and they have to walk through the process more or less on the side of the World government.

Therefore, it was delayed for a few days. At this point, Alabasta was in Claudius’s hands, and Crocodile suddenly turned from a pirate to become a king. .
