Chapter 98 - Discussing Territory.
This days, Adam kept busy doing his ship. Nami, Robin and Koby were busy with their things. Nobody came to disturb Adam, after seing Adam was very focus. Only sometimes Nami and Robin will sit and waits watching Adam silently.
The Lunarian also some came to the Adam"s Family Residence, which was before was the God"s Shrine. Because the "God" is a bit arrogant, Nami and Robin change the name. But they did not met Adam, and only with Nami and Robin, and both give suggestion or answers to them.
While Koby keep working out until faints, but Adam still cure him. Including the Heaven"s Gate was changed by the Lunarian into Lunar"s Gate.
In these 2 days, with the harmony and happy expression. The relocate was soon settled, and the previous Shandians and Skypieans all live together without any distinction between them anymore.
Now, the highest authority in the country was Gan Fall, which was the Prime Minister of the Lunar Country. The Lunar Country build their own flag and other management position with the help of Robin.
Every best spot can be seen in the Angel Island or the Lunar land there will be a pole and two flag on it. On top of it was a black flag as the background and the Adam"s Family family crest on it. Below Adam"s Family flag, was the flag of the Lunar Country. Which was white in background and a red cresent moon in the middle.
Adam left the shipyard and went to the Adam"s Family Residence above the Upper Ruins.
Adam saw Nami and Robin were outside in the lounge resting after their morning practice.
" Nami, Robin ! Im back.. Hehehe " Adam said hugging the two woman together into his arms.
" Umm. " Nami smiles and hug Adam back.
While Robin just silence and felt embarassed.
" Sorry for ignoring you two.. its lunch time isnt? Ill prepare.. " Adam said kissing their forehead.
" Umm. Finally i can eat your cooking again.. " Nami said excitedly.
" Adam. Theres many type of White Sea creatures, we want seafoods.. " Robin ask.
" Okay.. Ill go catch them fresh.. " Adam grin and patted his c.h.e.s.t.
After waking up Coby who was fainted not long, Adam quickly went to the White Sea and White White Sea to hunt.
After a happy lunch with everyone, Adam ask about things happened in this 2 days.
" Nothing much, Gan Fall be the prime minister. The Lunar Country will be directly be your territory. You can see those flags.. bla..bla..bla.. " Nami explain.
" Hahaha yes, Lunar Country will be our first site. They dont need to pay anything toward us and just live in harmony. Something bad happened, Gan Fall can call me with the Jade you already gave to him, i can easily teleport here and help.. " Adam said.
" Umm.. With your Teleport Teleport Fruit, you can easily go back and forth. Also, you are already invincible, one man army is enough. You dont need to build forces to find subordinate.. " Robin suggest.
" Yes, i think so too. I cant manage people too much.. Then, should i just let Alabasta directly my site ?? " Adam ask excitedly.
" You can say that you were like the Emperor, but not a Pirate. The Emperor provide protection to all who reside within their territories, keeping the borders safe from any faction that may wish to invade them. But, their territory were in New World.. No Emperor has a territory in Paradise.. " Robin said.
" Public knows, that you were one of the Four Emperor. So your identity now is a Emperor, you should also have many territories to influence in the future. Vivi"s country, i think you should take it as your own territory too. Remember, it is Paradise. There is many pirates in this sea. With your protection, people will more worship you. " Nami said seriously.
" Worship ? I dont need worship that much . " Adam frowns.
" With people worshiping you, your influence in the future when you be the "Emperor of the World" will be very smooth. " Robin said.
" Yes, Robin is right. You just see it later when Alabasta be one of your territory, and when other country knows that you did not ask any protection fee and can protect the country. Many country will ask you to hang our flag. " Nami agree with Robin.
" Teacher .. I think you still need to ask protection fee. " Koby said suddenly.
" Why? Tell me.. " Adam ask confusedly.
" Teacher, if you did not ask the protection fee, then if in the future you be the Emperor of the Word, who will give the Marines and the government salary ?? " Koby said smartly.
" Umm. Yes.. Ohh headache.." Adam said helplessly with his hand on his forehead.
" How much do each people need to pay as the Heavenly Tribute for the World Government ? " Nami ask curiously.
" For each year, the people of the country which affiliated with the World Government needs to pay was 50.000 berries for age 1-17, 100.000 berries for age above 17. " Robin said.
" So much ! Just for a protection.. Its the same as Arlong Pirates before.." Nami said exclaiming sadly.
Adam touch Nami"s hand gently.
" Yes, many people often starve to death. Thats why there is also many county does not join the World Government. But the country often fall into ruin due to lacking the World Government"s protection, and most if not all unafiflated country only manage to survive by becoming a Emperor"s territory or being self-sufficient enough to defend themselves.." Adam said.
" Then, will you ask a protection fee ? " Nami ask frowning.
" Yes, 10.000 berries for each people, how about that ? " Adam said.
" 10.000 is many times more cheaper. I think its enough for the Marines and the World Government salary.." Nami nods.
Robin and Koby nods too.
" Yes, but i will ask the protection fee when i sit as the Emperor of the World. The management of the world will be handled to the World Government, which was the Revolutionary Army will take over later. We dont need to be thinking it too much. " Adam said seriously.
" Ill go to Alabasta to meet with Vivi and talk to her father. Who wants to come ? " Adam ask looking at the three people.
" Ill go.. " Nami raise her hand excitedly.
" Ill wait here.. " Robin said smiling.
" I want to continue workout teacher.. I hope teacher wont take a long time and can cure me when i faints.. " Koby said embarassedly.
" Umm " Adam hums nodding.
Adam take Nami's hand, after kissing Robin forehead. Adam with Nami teleport to Vivi"s bedroom.
