I Formed The El Cat Investigation Team In Pirates Chapter 227

Chapter 227 Urban planning is still very important

 After walking around the Rapeseed Flower Port a few times, Xie Wen also had a general understanding of the current Kingdom of Alabasta.

Since they came a few years ago, the current situation here is not as bad as shown in the comics.

 Although this country has not had rain in places other than the royal capital for a year, this country is originally a desert country, and the people of the Kingdom of Alabasta have full experience in fighting drought.

And because of the existence of the wide and long Sundola River, if it takes time to transport, there can actually be enough fresh water to supply the whole country... After all, the Kingdom of Alabasta does not have a few cities in total, and they are not very big. big.

The real fatal problem is that Sand Crocodile asked people to use dancing powder to blame the drought on the royal family. Even though King Kobra personally came forward to refute the rumors, there are still some people in the Kingdom of Alabasta who are dissatisfied. The country has developed a sense of distrust, and as long as the drought problem is not solved for one day, more and more people will be disappointed and even hate the royal family.

The consequence of this is that the crime rate in various parts of Alabasta has increased rapidly during this period, especially in several places with severe droughts, where bandits are rampant. In addition, from time to time, Baroque working groups deliberately cause Come on, it might even be them disguised as pirates who come to cause trouble.

The army of the Kingdom of Alabasta has been working very hard to maintain law and order in this country. However, the area of ​​this island is too large, and because cities must rely on oases to build cities in the desert, the distances between cities are relatively small. It is far away, and it is inconvenient to travel in the desert. In many cases, Alabasta's army cannot arrive in time.

What's more, there is a culprit who takes this opportunity to build his reputation in front of the people and competes with them for their heads, which further deepens the people's distrust of the royal family.

I have to say that although the Sand Crocodile's strength is not that good, the design of this conspiracy is still very good. If it hadn't happened to bump into Luffy and his party, Pluto's matter would not have been mentioned for the time being. At least he would have captured Ala The Kingdom of Bastan doesn't have much of a problem…

Of course, whether he will be troubled by the Tianlong people or even Im in the future is another matter. After all, the foundation of the Alabasta royal family is still very extraordinary, and it cannot be generalized from other ordinary alliance countries.

However, even though due to the drought, the river water at the mouth of the sea has shown some signs of being gradually eroded by the sea water, at least so far, Eluma is still one of the few far away from the royal capital and can still maintain a sufficient supply of fresh water. city ​​of.

 After returning to the ship, Hua Mei Miao quickly redrawn a more accurate map of the Kingdom of Alabasta based on the information obtained and the map purchased at Rapeseed Flower Port...

In fact, after walking around this time, Xie Wen was very confused about one thing - there is obviously a huge freshwater river like the Saint Dora River on the island of Alabasta, why do most cities, including the royal capital, have to What about an oasis built far away from the river? Eruma, the only city built on a river, was also built at the lowest point of the river, near its mouth.

Therefore, as long as the Kingdom of Alabasta built most of its cities near the Sundora River, how could Crocodile almost succeed in conquering the Kingdom of Alabasta in just three or four years.

“According to the information we have collected, the distribution of several cities in the Kingdom of Alabasta is roughly like this.”

As for whether doing this is drinking poison to quench thirst, whether it will pollute water sources, etc., those are issues that need to be considered on the premise that you will not die of thirst.

Sure enough, even after reaching the Grand Line, maps, nautical charts and the like still have the same free-spirited nature. There is still a big difference between the map I bought and the one redrawn by Huameimiao.

and…

“The scale of the map I drew may not be accurate, but it should be much better than this one.”

Hua Mei Miao threw the purchased map aside with some disgust. Xie Wen took out his hunter's manual and looked at it... Well, there was no pre-rendered shadow. Obviously, even the map drawn by Huamei Miao was not recognized by the manual in terms of accuracy.

In other words, the difference between the map I bought and the actual situation was even greater than Xie Wen predicted. It was estimated that except for the direction, nothing was correct.

Withdrawing his attention from the marvelous map, Xie Wen returned his gaze to the map drawn by Hua Mei Miao.

 After seeing the place names on the map, Xie Wen suddenly realized...

Crocodile and his group of subordinates named Mr. 123, Day of the Week, and XX Day have never met each other at all during this period, and they are not even stationed in the same place.

The cadres of the Baroque Working Society, who possess various fruit abilities, have a "Spider Cafe" opened in the desert and is usually used as a transit point by ordinary people as their headquarters, while Crocodile is the basic nest. In a city called Yudi thousands of miles away, a casino called Yuyan operates.

 In this case, it will be impossible to catch all these ability users...

Xie Wen rubbed his chin and smacked his lips with regret.

 But how to choose is very simple. No matter how many superhuman systems there are, they are not as good as one natural system. Moreover, if the Sand Crocodile escapes by alerting the enemy, that would be putting the cart before the horse, not to mention that Robin's current situation may not be very safe.

　　…“…So, let's go straight to the rainy land.”

Xie Wen told Hua Mei Miao his thoughts and reached out to click on the city in the upper left corner of the map.

“And we can just sail up the Sundola River and get off the boat when we get to the rainy area, which can save a lot of time.”

The little puppet, which was swiping its tail on Xie Wen's face in boredom, had stopped when it heard that Robin might be in danger. It wasn't until Xie Wen finished speaking that he dragged Xie Wen with a worried look. Wen's ear said: "Keli can help speed up the Dudu Qianjin! Let's hurry up and save Sister Robin!"

"Keli, don't worry, rushing directly to the rainy land is not a good choice, meow."

However, after pondering for a moment, Hua Mei Miao shook her head and rejected Xie Wen's proposal.

"For now, Miss Robin should be safe, so we don't need to worry too much. Besides, Admiral, didn't you say that the sand crocodile is very cunning? There are still his spies everywhere in this country, so let's be direct like this Running to where he is will make him more vigilant and suspicious of Miss Robin, so it is better to 'play' all the way there as usual so as not to look weird."

"Even..." Huamei Miao paused and then continued: "We can also drop by the Spider Cafe and pretend to be ordinary passers-by. This should be able to further paralyze the sand crocodile, even if Robin later Miss Robin was accidentally exposed, so he won't be too guarded against us, and the chance of saving Miss Robin will be even higher, meow.”

Xie Wen thought for a while and felt that Master Xiang Feihu was right.
