Jaka looked at Versus and could no longer speak. It was as if he was no longer looking at a person, but a walking humanoid Bailey Production Machine.
After he took over the five billion Bailey, his respect for Versus reached almost the same level as Corbra's. In his mind, he even imagined countless scenes of this once genius prince, his incredible business ability, and the great show of silently earning a shocking amount of wealth.
Vilcius believed that the Arabastan Empire was not really lacking in water resources. It was only limited by a small amount of wealth. Since it was just a lack of money, it was not a problem.
He decided to build a water pipeline that would connect the Santora River to various cities. This action had many advantages over traditional canals. It was cheaper, shorter, and faster to repair. It could also take care of all cities. Although the entire Arabastan was vast, it was only the cost of a pipeline construction. Versis believed that he could still afford it.
The entire Arabastan was divided into two parts by a river called the Santora River. The southern end of the river connected to the sea. How huge was the Santora River? It was the largest freshwater river in the world with a width of more than 50 kilometers. Yes, 50 kilometers!
The mother rivers of China on Earth, the Yangtze River and Yellow River, were at most eight or nine kilometers wide. It would be good if it was five kilometers wide in normal places, but this Santora River was nearly ten times wider than the Yangtze River!
With such an unprecedented river, Arabastan was actually short of water? Things were just so funny.
This was also because of the huge area of Arabastan. From the Santora River in the center to the city of Yuba in the west of the country, it would take Luffy and the others ten days and ten nights to walk.
Green City Yuba had a canal that had been built since ancient times and was connected to the Santora River, which was why it had formed its current scale.
About half a year ago, Yuba's man-made canal was destroyed by humans. At the same time, it entered an extremely dry state, so it gradually became dispirited. The rebel army also began to appear in this city.
" The problem of money has been solved. As for manpower..." Versis smiled faintly." Of course, those who should pay will pay. Bell, send a letter to the rebel leader in my name. It's time to bring back my father. As the former king of Arabastan, he should not be humiliated by his people in such a humiliating way. I promise you that they will be punished.”
Vilsis believed that any brainless rebellion without investigation was the greatest disrespect to the royal family of this country.

Yuba.
Under the scorching sun, the entire city was almost roasted. The rebel army had grown from tens of thousands to 300,000 people. They occupied the city, but because of strict military discipline, they did not extend their evil hands to the people. However, the entire Yuba was almost unable to hold on.
In a tent, Kobra sat cross-legged with a haggard expression. Opposite him was a short-haired youth who wore a pair of glasses, but he did not appear weak at all. Even those who were familiar with him could only feel a unique aura from him. This was the leader of the rebel army, Kosha.
" This country is about to be finished. There is no hope," Kosha said to Kobra." Your Majesty, it has been two months now. You have proven your innocence, but Alba is still raining. Yuba and other cities are still in drought. I believe that you really did not do those things. Otherwise, you would not have willingly let us detain you. However, I do not believe in the new king, and I will not acknowledge this king.”
"Do you still want to continue leading the Resistance to fight?”Corbra's hoarse voice sounded tired.
" It's not that I want to resist, but this country is forcing the people to resist." Kosha took a deep breath and said," You told me that everything is because of Krogdal's conspiracy, but I don't think a pirate can become the master of this country. He has no reason to do this, and the World Government will not agree."”
This was the reason why Kosha and the others did not believe that Krogdahl had acted. No matter how chaotic Arabastan was, he could not become the king here. What reason did he have to deal with the royal family?
At this moment, there was a commotion outside the tent.
Kosha stood up and walked out. He saw a bird fall from the sky and turn into a human. A large number of soldiers surrounded him, but Bale remained calm.
"It's you…Falcon Bell…"
Kosha's feelings towards Bale were extremely complicated. When he was still a child, Bale and Gaka had already begun to patrol the lands together with the king as guardians. At that time, he had yearned to become such a strong person, but now it seemed that he was not as strong as he had imagined when he was a child.
Bale nodded slightly and took out a document from his pocket expressionlessly.
"Kosha, this is a letter from His Majesty the King. He wants to negotiate with you.”
"Negotiate?" Kosha looked coldly at Hayato." Is he coming to Yuba too?"”
" The royal family of a country cannot bow down twice." Hayaren Bale's favorability towards Kosha was negative. In his eyes, no matter how many reasons there were, it was not an excuse for Kosha to rebel." If you are really thinking about the people, take a good look."”
Kosha opened the document and glanced at it. His originally casual actions stopped, and his expression became more and more serious.
" The royal family of the Kingdom of Arabastan is willing to invest 100 billion Bailey to build a water pipeline with the Santora River as the center to connect all the cities that are experiencing drought. As a condition, the rebels must surrender unconditionally and return the former King of Arabastan, His Majesty Cobra. At the same time, the rebels must provide sufficient labor for the project. After the labor is completed, they must accept a fair trial by the laws of the Kingdom of Arabastan!”
