Chapter 388 National conditions in the eyes of outsiders
Moreover, the outer circle is entirely made of glass. In this situation, in the pirate world, such a hotel is simply the ultimate luxury.
"Luffy, I chose to be here today. It felt pretty good last time."
Ace said with a smile on his lips.
"It\'s okay, you can do whatever you want."
Luffy didn\'t refuse and just followed in.
At this time, there were not many people in the hotel, but the overall decoration did look quite luxurious.
After a while, the food was served, and at first, the two of them almost looked like they were devouring it.
After eating for a while, Luffy leaned back on his chair with some satisfaction, looked at the food in front of him and said, "I didn\'t expect the food here tastes really good."
"right!!"
Ace looked at Luffy\'s expression seriously, with a satisfied smile on his face as well.
"These are just hypocritical appearances!"
Weiwei sat there and didn\'t actually move her chopsticks from beginning to end, and she was still muttering in a low voice.
"I think the people here live a pretty good life, why would you say something like that?"
Zoro asked doubtfully.
"what\'s going on?"
Ace had already felt that something was wrong from the very beginning. When he heard these words, he was even more sure that he was not wrong. In order to prevent his younger brother from causing any big trouble, his eating-loving expression instantly froze there and asked seriously. Said Sauron.
"Ace, Weiwei said that the Tru Empire enslaved the people of Alabasta and forcibly occupied this country\'s territory. Originally we..."
"Shut up, Luffy!"
Before Luffy could finish speaking, Ace instantly felt furious. He frowned and whispered angrily at what Luffy was going to say next.
As if he had sensed something was wrong, Zoro\'s brows began to frown, and the expression on his face suddenly became serious.
He is not like Luffy, a big brother. Although he usually only shows the potential of dementia, sometimes when it comes to the subtleties of some things, Zoro still handles them well.
When he saw Ace\'s current expression, he seemed to have sensed that the essence of the matter was different.
"Luffy, do you know what the Tohru Empire means today?"
Ace calmed down his anger and turned into a serious and calm question.
"I heard Robin say that the Tru Empire seems to be very powerful?"
Luffy still grinned and spoke as if he didn\'t take this matter seriously at all.
"The Tru Empire is not something you and I can afford to offend. No matter what happens, even if this thing is true, it is definitely not something you can get involved in."
Ace said.
"Is the Tru Empire really as powerful as you say?"
Zoro asked in shock.
Although they had heard Robin introduce the situation of the Tru Empire before, none of them seemed to take it seriously. After all, these people had never come into contact with the major forces in this world before. .
But this moment is completely different.
"Ace, do you know this Tru Empire?"
Luffy also began to suppress the smile on his face, and then asked with full seriousness.
"I have been in contact with it. Three years ago, I went to the Tru Empire. It was so powerful that it was almost despairing!"
"I see! It doesn\'t have much to do with me anyway. After all, I am the man who will become the Pirate King in the future."
Luffy then said with a sudden grin.
"This guy!!"
Ace stared at his younger brother speechlessly.
at the same time.
At this moment, in another place in the land of rapeseed flowers, Smoker and Dasqi were also staying in other restaurants, but there were several navy soldiers standing outside.
Smoker sat here with a calm expression, continuing to smoke his big cigar, and looking at the surrounding environment with a calm expression on his face.
However, as Dasqi who came out with him, she was not as calm as expected.
"Colonel Smoker, can you tell me about the situation here?"
Dasqi sat upright and asked seriously.
"What do you want to know?"
"Why can\'t the navy capture pirates directly here?"
"In order to prevent conflicts, the Navy does not want anything to happen with the Tru Empire, so within the scope of their jurisdiction, no one from the Navy is allowed to carry out forceful arrests in these areas!"
Smoker blew out a smoke ring and said.
He is not dissatisfied with this system. He just said this to show his feelings.
Facing this area, he showed a lot of helplessness on his face. Even if the pirates were in front of him, in the end he couldn\'t directly arrest him.
Dasqi seemed to understand something from this, but then she still asked weakly, "Isn\'t this the country of Alabasta?"
"What Alabasta? The Tru Empire began to lay out everything here seven or eight years ago. Do you think Alabasta can still manage the land of rape flowers at this moment? Everyone knows it well. This place has long been in the hands of the Tru Empire through commercial means. Although it still belongs to Alabasta on the surface, and both parties are in a peaceful process, there are some things that only their own country knows. That’s all.”
Smoker said with a mocking smile of disdain.
"Doesn\'t that mean that the Tru Empire is going too far to take over other countries\' territories?"
"Dasqi, what you said is exactly the opposite. Apart from the dissatisfaction of the Alabasta royal family and the princes and ministers regarding this matter, have you ever heard of any complaints from the people of Alabasta?
After the Tru Empire came to Alabasta, it not only changed the country\'s environment and climate, but everything you see now is actually the masterpiece of this country.
The country of Alabasta was once a desolate desert country. In recent years, the miracles created by the Tru Empire actually shocked everyone who had been to the country of Alabasta.
After they came here, they not only solved the survival problems of the people of Alabasta, but also completely improved their quality of life. At present, the princes and ministers of Alabasta are not satisfied with the status quo. In fact, it is nothing more than If they want to directly take over everything belonging to the Tru Empire in the country of Alabasta, it\'s just because they don\'t have enough strength. "
Smoker said analytically.
"So powerful!!"
Dasqi said in shock.
