Chapter 284

"My Lord, the intelligence department sent back the latest news. The sick tiger missed."

In the study, looking at Sean who is reading, Cat Lady Catherine reports the latest information.

Hearing this, Sean raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised, and put down the book in his hand.

"Missed it? What's the specific situation?"

"According to the information from the intelligence department, the sick tiger was about to catch bacaron at that time, but at this time, a man of unknown origin suddenly appeared, easily defeated the sick tiger and took bacaron away. The man was suspected to be a natural person with the ability of sand fruit."

Hearing this, Sean's face showed a funny smile.

"It's interesting. It's really interesting. First it's burning fruit, and now a sand fruit comes out. It seems that arabastam is really outstanding."

By this time, Sean was really interested in it.

"How is the sick Tiger now?"

Looking at the cat girl, Sean asked again.

"The sick tiger has lost contact with us now, but judging from his life card, although he was seriously injured, he is not in danger. He should be lost in the desert."

With her head down, the cat girl answered Sean's question.

"Is that right? I just want to go out for a walk, so go to alabastein."

With a smile, Sean made a decision.

"Yes, sir, I'll arrange the ship at once."

"No, I can go alone this time. After I leave, all the things of black crow island will be handed over to Youde. If there is any strong enemy that can't be solved, it can be handed over to Heiyu."

At random, the golden light flickered, and Sean disappeared into the study.

Black feather's resonance experiment was a great success. Sean didn't have anything important to do on black crow island in a short time. It's also a good choice to go out and find inspiration.

·····················································

Arabastam, a huge island with a vast territory and a population of more than 10 million, is a rare country with a large population in the world. Unfortunately, the environment here is too bad and the people's life is very poor.

Rape market, the port city of alabastein, is also the first stop for outsiders to land in alabastein.

Leaving from the merchant ship, he saw the Kung Fu manatee competing with people on the beach. Walking on the street full of exotic customs, Sean seemed very relaxed.

"It's really awful."

He took a bite of the jujube cake in his hand and felt the rough taste. Sean frowned and threw it to the beggars on the roadside, which soon caused a burst of looting.

Alabastan has a typical desert climate with drought and little rain all year round. Although the land area is vast, the arable area is very limited, and Elaeagnus angustifolia is their main crop.

Elaeagnus angustifolia has strong drought resistance and wind sand resistance. Its roots can go deep into the ground for nearly ten meters and can survive with only a small amount of water. Its fruit Elaeagnus angustifolia can be ground into flour after drying. The Elaeagnus angustifolia cake baked with Elaeagnus angustifolia flour can not only satisfy hunger, but also be extremely resistant to storage. Without any special treatment, it will not be bad if it is placed there for two or three years, Even because of this characteristic, there is an extremely strange phenomenon in alabastein, that is, at some times, Elaeagnus angustifolia cake can also be used as money.

Of course, the jujube cake is good, but for Sean, there is nothing to praise except the slight sweetness. It tastes rough. There is no difference between eating in his mouth and chewing a handful of sand. It's hard to swallow.

"Life in this place is really difficult."

Walking around the street was Sean's first impression of alabastein.

As a port city, rape market is a relatively prosperous city in alabastein. There are many businessmen here. In fact, there are not many wealth flowing every day. Unfortunately, these wealth not only belongs to a very few people, but also most of them are people from other countries.

Although alabastan has a desert climate, few arable land and underdeveloped agriculture. It needs to import food from other countries every year, it is rich in minerals. As long as it is developed, it is Jinshan and Yinshan. However, it is strange that 70% of the ore veins found in alabastan belong to the forces of other countries and 10% belong to the alabastan royal family, Only the remaining 20% belong to the people of alabastan.

This unreasonable ownership of ore veins leads many native alabastans to earn a living by selling cheap labor to dig ore on the ground of alabastan in exchange for meager remuneration from people in other countries.

Under such circumstances, the populous arabistan has just become a member of the pirate king and many poor countries in the world. This situation has lasted for nearly 200 years, and many arabistans have become accustomed to it.

The founders of the kingdom of arabastam are the nafirutali family. They were once a member of the twenty families of the Tianlong people. However, after the establishment of the world government, they did not move into the Holy Mary JOYA like other Tianlong families, but voluntarily gave up the rights of the Tianlong people and founded the arabastam.

In the world war more than 200 years ago, the nafirutali family, as the former dragon family, led the kingdom of arabastam, stood in the camp of the revolutionary army with a clear stand and made an important contribution to the victory of the revolution. According to statistics, at the most intense moment of the war, arabastam once organized an army with a scale of up to one million to go to the battlefield, It can be said that the banner of revolutionary victory was once dyed red by the blood of the alabastans.

However, it is a pity that after the victory of the revolution, alabastan, who made great contributions, did not get the corresponding return.

When the division of interests began after the victory of the war, alabastan was targeted by other forces, and the reason was that the nafirutali family was Tianlong people. Although this reason is absurd now, after all, the nafirutali family not only gave up the identity of Tianlong people long ago, but their performance in the war alone is enough to explain everything, However, it was recognized by many people at that time. On the one hand, people at that time generally hated Tianlong people and wanted to kill them. On the other hand, because of interests, if there was less one person who divided the cake, others could naturally share more.

The most strange thing is that shortly after the end of this incident, the palace of alabastan was attacked by a group of pirates. In that attack, not only the palace of alabastan was burned, but also the nafirutali family, the royal family of alabastan, was slaughtered.

Under normal circumstances, the royal family of a big country is slaughtered by pirates, which will inevitably cause an uproar in the world, but that time, it seems that there is an invisible hand secretly manipulating everything, limiting the influence of this matter to alabastan. Only then, the sea thief king Luffy himself came back from the new world to find out the murderer and avenge his friends, It's a pity that by that time, those unknown pirates had long gone there and could only end up. After all, the pirate king was only a person, not a God.

The aftermath subsided at an unimaginable speed. Nagati Barker, the consul of arabistan, quickly took over the power of the royal family and became the new king of arabistan with the support of a group of people.

Of course, in order to show his loyalty, negati Barker did not change the name of the country after he took office, and still used the title of alabastan, but from this time on, the royal family of alabastan changed from nafirutali to negati.

Shortly after he ascended the throne, negati bak reached cooperation with many countries on the pretext of urgently needed materials for post-war reconstruction and sold the ownership and development rights of domestic minerals. That is, from this time on, the people of alabastan began to live in poverty for 200 years.
