One piece : A Lotus

Chapter 9: Chapter 8



Two weeks later, mobile phone sales reached 150,000 units again, totaling 250,000, with memory capacity increasing by another 15G.

However, Momonga was leaving Alabasta under Ezekiel's somewhat regretful gaze. From start to finish, the extraordinary Vice Admiral never used his mobile phone.

It was now July, the most prosperous time of year in Alabasta.

Heavy rain here isn't unpleasant weather but a wonderful gift. It's nature's most precious gift to the people of Alabasta. But unfortunately, this heavy rain only fell in Alubarna. All places except the capital seemed forgotten by the gods. Countless refugees wanted to enter the city, but given the city's size, only the kingdom's army, led by another Zoan fruit user, Chaka, could manage this.

However, the kind-hearted Cobra still allocated a specific limit for their relocation, but everyone knew that if this continued, Alabasta's treasury wouldn't withstand it.

Ezekiel and Pell knew it was Crocodile's devious plan, and even Cobra wasn't unaware that he used Dance Powder.

The sound of falling rain was unimaginably beautiful.

The Marines lined up neatly as Momonga stepped forward to salute Cobra and finally sped away with his team.

Cobra and the others organized a spectacular farewell.

The prince, though forbidden from leaving his room, also bade goodbye to the Vice Admiral of the Marines out of courtesy.

Seeing Momonga and the others leave, Pell suddenly whispered to Ezekiel:

"Your Royal Highness, two weeks have passed..."

He was worried about what Crocodile would do after Momonga's departure. Although the Marines were strong, they couldn't damage Crocodile's reputation now.

"Alabasta no longer fears Crocodile.After the Marines leave, I will stay here... But he is not our true enemy," said Pell.

Since he already knew the strength of the Prince of Alabasta, he understood that he would not allow Crocodile to commit evil on this land. But in reality, he knew that Ezekiel was not the kind of person who would take risky actions. Even if he faced Whitebeard in a war of the strongest, or Kaido and Big Mom, he might not dare to fight them... Their power is incomparable to Crocodile's. And the prince had no aces up his sleeve; after all, even Crocodile thought it was Aokiji. Compared to the true enemy of Alabasta, Crocodile is just a novice.

The World Government is the true enemy of the Nefertari royal family. Because the Nefertari family was once one of the twenty royal families that founded the World Government, they chose not to live in Mary Geoise like the Celestial Dragons. They became traitors. In the canon, the Five Elders intended to kill the royal family.

Ezekiel had a chance to kill Crocodile, but as soon as he dies, the failure of the Warlord policy, which is currently promoted by the Marines and the World Government, will definitely provide grounds for a thorough investigation. After all, at this time, Crocodile is a national hero... And the World Government would rather declare the Nefertari royal family outlaws and destroy them.

Ezekiel and Pell were returning to the palace.

Seeing the inseparable figures of the two, Cobra's eyes lit up. He touched Vivi's head and said he was a little tired.

......

The rain outside the palace continued.

The palace had changed significantly compared to just a few weeks ago. At least now Ezekiel was not using his bedroom as a storage room for mobile phones.

He calmly browsed the information about the surrounding world. Although Will was reading the original, it was still the real world, and understanding it required a lot of knowledge. Pell stood aside, guarding him.

Very soon, Will put the book aside.

Having studied for an hour, he decided to give up because he didn't need to just study the information. He could simply download it, as knowledge takes up very little memory.

He silently chose a download that contained various knowledge for different purposes and absorbed it in large quantities. It wasn't difficult. After all, compared to the 100 GB of the Freezing Fruit, this knowledge was only 10 MB, which was truly insignificant.

At that moment, Will suddenly shuddered.

[Expert Level History of One Piece, 100 MB]

[Ancient Characters of One Piece, 100 MB]

[Intermediate Use of Devil Fruit • Paramecia • Hana-Hana no Mi, 10 GB]

Will quickly guessed the user of this skill. It was Nico Robin. The power of the Hana-Hana no Mi was only at an intermediate level.

Will's Mobile Fruit power is good in everything, but it has a major drawback. Once he gains an ability, he cannot improve it through training, which means if he downloads the intermediate power of the Hana-Hana no Mi, in ten years, this ability will still be at that level, unless Robin progresses and he re-downloads her power.

However, when it comes to skills like physical skills and combat, they can be improved through self-study.

Will chose to only download the history and ancient characters, and at his current speed, it would take less than an hour to complete the download.

A week later, Pell brought Ezekiel more bad news. Besides the fact that the rain continued only in the capital... in the large city of Alabasta, Yuba, an uprising occurred!

Moreover, the scale of this uprising became terrifying. It should not be forgotten that the population in Alabasta is quite large. It is said to be a superpower. All this is based on its population size. Although in terms of strength, it is considered one of the weakest countries in the Grand Line. After all, this is the first half of the Grand Line, and nearly no one here even knows Haki. The strongest in the entire kingdom are two basic Zoan abilities.

Therefore, Ezekiel could only continuously produce mobile phones every day and meet with foreign traders through Pell. After all, it is difficult for him to become strong relying solely on the domestic market.

Will earned quite a lot of beli. The seemingly cheap price brought significant income under the influence of volume, and the total income from 300,000 phones reached 1.5 billion beli!

And each month, an additional communication fee of 10 million beli was credited to Will's account. By this time, he could be considered practically the richest person in Alabasta.
