Chapter 386 My brother
After entering the country of Alabasta, the Meili docked directly at the Rapeseed Port, the country\'s largest harbor in Shujing.
It basically belongs to the most important industrial and commercial base in the entire country of Alabasta. The actual control of this place is now almost in the hands of the Tru Empire. Although it is within the borders of Alabasta, their country does not Any right to operate any business or industry here.
It is precisely because of this that the princes and ministers of Alabasta hate the Tru Empire now.
The main purpose is for profit, because in their view, the country\'s infrastructure projects have now become a bottomless pit.
Even though they have begun to collect taxes and fees related to the Tru Empire, they discovered in the end that these are still only a drop in the bucket for infrastructure construction.
If this situation continues to develop, then for the members of the Alabasta royal family, they will only have to watch the Tru Empire make money in their own country.
The port above Rapeseed Flowers has now become a modern city with many high-rise buildings, which is at least in sharp contrast to other areas of the country in Alabasta.
It has even become the economic lifeline center of the entire country. The daily income here is almost equal to that of the entire country, which is much higher than the annual tax revenue of the entire country.
A group of people walked vigorously on the ground made of smooth rocks. There was no landscape on both sides, and all there were endless shops. Along the way, various hawking sounds continued.
"Luffy, I think the people in this country live a very good life. At least it\'s many times better than where we are."
Usopp said as he walked away.
In fact, Luffy himself was watching. After all, everything he saw in front of him had refreshed his outlook on life. Living in this place was already everyone\'s ideal paradise, with wide streets on both sides and dense crowds of people strolling back and forth. No matter where you came from, From this perspective, it doesn\'t look like he is being oppressed.
Weiwei walked at the back alone, her head lowered, and she didn\'t say anything from beginning to end.
In fact, she is the one who knows best. After all, the only people who are truly oppressed and dissatisfied in this country are the princes, ministers and their royal family members. She is jealous of everything the Tru Empire has done in this country, but with the ability of her own country, There is nothing to do.
"Luffy, you go and take a good look first. I want to take a stroll around this street. I feel like I can buy a lot of clothes again."
Nami\'s eyes began to glow golden, and any nearby shops looked so tall in his eyes.
"I\'ll go shopping by myself too!"
Sanji said.
"Robin, do you want to go shopping together?"
Nami took two steps forward, then turned her head and looked at Robin walking behind alone and shouted.
"sure!"
Robin smiled slightly, then turned around and followed the pace directly ahead.
"I...I\'d better go buy some food with Sanji."
Usopp looked at the slightly awkward atmosphere and instantly started running in the direction Sanji left.
Luffy walked all the way. Although he looked at the surrounding situation with curious eyes, his heart was also full of many questions. After all, the current Alabasta country is not at all like what Weiwei who was following behind said. .
"Hey, Luffy..."
Everything was still such a coincidence, as if it was already destined.
While Luffy was walking forward with Zoro, a high-pitched voice came over.
Following the sound, Zoro asked curiously, "Luffy, who is that guy who looks so mean?"
"My brother!"
Luffy said with a grin, and the next second he quickly rushed in the direction of Ace.
"Ace..."
Luffy shouted as he ran.
"Bang...!!!!"
But before he could run over, a person rushed out from nowhere and stepped on Luffy\'s face. Without any precautions, Luffy was even kicked away by the kick. A distance of more than ten meters.
"Straw Hat, I finally found you."
Before Luffy could react, the figure of the person who kicked him had already appeared.
This guy is a man with two cigars in his mouth, white hair, wearing a navy justice robe, and smelling of smoke.
Behind him was a young beauty wearing glasses, a long knife hanging on her waist, and also wearing a navy justice robe.
"Why did you chase this guy here?"
Zoro looked helpless, and the long knife in his hand was already ready to be drawn out to fight.
"Luffy, are you okay?"
Ace hurriedly ran over, because at this time, Luffy\'s entire head had been inserted under the stone slab, and the ground had even been cracked by this kick.
"Colonel Smoker, should we capture him directly here?"
This white-haired man\'s name is Smoker, the naval leader of Rogue Town. He ran such a long distance just to catch this pirate who slipped away from under his nose.
Although the kick had been carried out, the little beauty behind Smoker opened her mouth and asked with some doubts.
These rookies who have just arrived at the Grand Line do not know the rules of this land of rape flowers in what is now the country of Alabasta, but they have been sailing on the sea as navies, so they naturally know what is going on here.
"Dasi Qi, order the navy we brought here to guard the port outside. The Straw Hat guy will definitely not let him escape this time."
Smoker said calmly while smoking a cigarette.
He had no intention of taking Luffy away right here.
"You bastard!"
After Luffy pulled his head out of the ground with difficulty, he was completely on the verge of anger. He turned and cursed loudly at Smoker who was standing there smoking a cigarette.
But what can he do now? Knowing that he was no match for this smoke man, when he actually stood up, he had already started thinking about how to leave this place quickly.
"By the way, Ace, why are you here?"
Luffy scolded Smoker angrily and then turned to look at Ace with a puzzled look on his face.
