"His Majesty.."
Cobra immediately stepped forward and supported the other person.
Although I learned that Kosha's father was here.
But seeing that the once chubby president of Duoduo Chamber of Commerce has now become a skinny old man.
This really shocked Cobra.
Cheng Lang sighed upon seeing this.
He looked down at the yellow sand under his feet and took out the diamond shovel.
He came here naturally to solve some of the remaining problems in Alabasta.
That is the desertified city.
Because of Crocodile, many oases have disappeared. He came to restore the oases and create an environment where people can live.
"You stand on the blocks I place, and don't move. No matter what happens next, don't move."
Cheng Lang gave a reminder and started his busy work.
After starting the chain, Cheng Lang started digging directly at the sand below.
Duoduo looked at Cheng Lang waving the shovel in confusion, but the amount of sand did not decrease. He was very confused.
As a result, the shovel in the boy's hand broke with a bang.
The ground suddenly became empty.
"?!"
But before he could react, the empty ground was instantly filled with countless clods of earth.
Then he looked in astonishment at the standard square buildings rising from the ground.
"???"
It should take no more than ten minutes.
The city that was originally buried in the yellow sand now stands up.
"Oh? There is magma underneath?!" The voice belonged to Cheng Lang, and he seemed to be thinking for a long time.
Then Duoduo saw a hot spring-style building being built.
"what?!"
But the shock was yet to come.
Cherry blossoms are actually blooming in the desert.
Although the cherry blossoms are very square.
But there is not much at the moment.
"no?!"
Duoduo rubbed his eyes.
I'm a little dazed at the moment.
What happened in such a short time?!
Cobra patted Duoduo's shoulder.
"You'll get used to being shocked a few times." Cobra comforted with a smile.
You know, his shock when he saw Catalonia's water pyramid floating in the sky was even more exaggerated than this?
Duoduo pointed at Cheng Lang, who was creating a building with a wave of his hand: "This! This! Is this right?!"
Weiwei came to the hot spring Cheng Lang had built and asked, puzzled, "I can understand the men's and women's baths, and even the mixed bath, but what is this '♂+♀ (the symbol for double addition)' channel?"
Cheng Lang turned around and said seriously, "This place will definitely be packed in the future."
Vivi was confused.
But I don't worry about those things.
"It still feels like it lacks a lot of decoration, and it feels bare."
"I can't help it. This is the best I can do. You can add some small decorations later."
Cheng Lang was also helpless. It was not impossible for an MC to dress up beautifully, but it required some MC characteristics or MOD.
It's just that after coming here, he has tried many features, but without pistons, he has no way to make those feature costumes. As for furniture MOD, it is completely unnecessary. Cheng Lang doesn't even want to think about it, for fear that the unlocked MOD will be more furniture MOD, and then he will have no place to cry.
In just one hour.
A city rises.
There are even black and white roads.
Very modern style.
"This...this!!" Duoduo rubbed his eyes. "This is amazing! This! It's simply amazing! Did Joba come back to life like this?"
Cobra couldn't help but sigh.
Weiwei followed all the way.
She was also quite surprised: "It's finished already? In the past, didn't you have to work until late at night?"
Cheng Lang nodded proudly: "As my abilities develop, I will become even more powerful."
Weiwei couldn't help but ask a question out of curiosity: "What exactly is your ability?"
"MC ability, well, you could also call it the Cube Fruit."
"..." Vivi thought for a long time. She had loved reading since she was a child and had seen the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia. She had also seen the Cube Fruit, whose ability was to turn objects into cubes, but the description of the Cube Fruit was not so magical.
However, Cheng Lang mentioned the problem of development. Maybe the person who recorded it did not carry out in-depth development. After all, the devil fruit is still being updated. Obviously, the ability of the devil fruit depends on imagination.
"By the way, Cheng Lang, you mentioned before that you can demagnetize islands on the Grand Line. Is this really possible?"
Cheng Lang looked at Wei Wei who suddenly brought up this matter. "Have you thought it through? Once this happens, neither the permanent pointer nor the record pointer will be able to record this island. Fewer and fewer people will be able to come here on the Grand Line, and foreign trade will disappear unless you use Life Cards."
Vivi looked at the two people chatting in the back and said, "If possible, I think we should do this. Alabasta is the sea area at the forefront of the Grand Line, and pirates visit it every day. According to our estimation, Crocodile will leave, and Kosha will no longer be able to become a member country.
If pirates were to be encountered again, Alabasta, which had finally found peace, might erupt into war."
In the Grand Line, magnetism is the symbol of all islands. If it is demagnetized, there will be only one result.
No ship will be able to land on this island, and the advantage is that there will be no harassment from pirates.
There is also a downside, which is that no merchant ship can find Alabasta in the Grand Line, and can only reach here by luck.
Cheng Lang seemed to be thinking about something. Actually... there was another way, which was to connect through his hell portal. Even if it was demagnetized, they could still communicate with each other.
Chapter 136 Cheng Lang, do you want a girlfriend?
"Don't you need to talk to Kosha or your father?"
Cheng Lang still asked in advance.
Weiwei shook her head seriously and said, "I guess they won't agree."
"Alabasta is a desert nation without any external trade. Its population will decline rapidly. But that's because it's a country of sand. With your abilities, I believe everything will be fine. Even if it's completely demagnetized and without external merchant ships, the people can create a better life through their own efforts."
Cheng Lang laughed and shook his head: "Should I say that you trust me too much, or should I say that you are arbitrary?"
Weiwei scratched her head shyly: "Hehe, I feel embarrassed when you praise me."
"I'm not praising you."
Cheng Lang looked at Cobra and Duoduo beside him.
"At least you should listen to what your father and that former businessman have to say. A more interactive exchange of ideas will lead to different answers."
Cheng Lang suggested with a smile.
Weiwei hesitated for a long time, but she finally sighed and turned to walk towards her father and Duoduo.
She knew that what Cheng Lang said was right, but it went without saying that the two of them would definitely refuse this kind of thing. The reason why Alabasta has a large population is not because of its large land area or many oases, but because of trade. The reason why Alabasta has been able to stand until now is that the long-term trade has maintained its population.
The answers you get are unexpected.
"Is it really possible? That's great!" The first person to speak was Duoduo, the former businessman.
"You don't object?"
"Why are you objecting? Don't you know that it would be great if the Grand Line could be demagnetized? Although we will lose the guidance of the permanent pointer, the permanent pointer is not the only thing that can determine the location of the island. The life card is also capable of that! Moreover, after demagnetization, the voyage to Alabasta will be safer. I can't imagine what the situation in Alabasta will be like in the future." Duoduo became more and more excited as he spoke.
Cobra was thinking.
In fact, he was opposed to the idea at first, but after listening to Duoduo's words, he suddenly understood.
I was thinking too one-sidedly.
You will lose guidance at first and be constrained in doing business in the early stages, but in the long run this will be a good thing.
Without the harassment of pirates, business will be much easier and more stable.
In the future, many businessmen may be eager to come to Alabasta to do business. After all, the consumption capacity of a country with a large population is not to be underestimated.
"Indeed, it would be a good idea if Alabasta could be demagnetized on the Grand Line."
After hearing my father's affirmation.
Weiwei was a little dazed.
At this moment, she saw Cheng Lang smiling and nodding at her behind them.
"Really...Is my thinking too superficial?"
The two were even more surprised when they learned that Cheng Lang could demagnetize the island.
There was something wrong with the way he looked at Cheng Lang.
Duoduo's eyes were shining, as if an old bachelor who had been hungry for decades saw a beautiful woman in a gauze dress.
Cobra was even more so: "Cheng Lang, Alabasta is just a small country in the first half of the sea. There are too many countries that need your ability to save them! Since the advent of the Great Pirate Age, the countries built on these islands have been harassed by pirates all the time. They need you!"
