One Piece: Adopting Akainu at the beginning, adopted son Barrett

Chapter 25: After eating soft rice, he still relies on his parents

While the navy was still discussing the allocation, at the same time, at Yun Island in the East China Sea.

In the world of One Piece, there are two types of clouds. One is the ordinary clouds floating in the sky, and the other is the three types of clouds unique to Sky Island:
That is, island clouds, sea clouds, and processed clouds.

It's basically literal meaning.

Ross has been to Sky Island, and when he came into contact with these three types of clouds, he was able to create them naturally. This is the unique power of the Devil Fruit.

The construction of Cloud Island is based on sea clouds, floating above the sea, with island clouds acting as soil on it.

There is a town in the center of Cloud Island. Half of the buildings are made of clouds, the other half are normal buildings, and in the middle are unfinished buildings under construction.

The Cloud Island is very large. It took Ross two months of working day and night to create this cloud. Its range is equivalent to ten Dressrosa Islands and can accommodate nearly one million people!
Yundao also has a wide range of U-shaped waterways for ships to enter, dock and leave, and each U-shaped waterway has different branches.

Such a magical wonder naturally attracted nobles and wealthy merchants from the East China Sea to come and visit. And because of the friendly trade routes, traveling merchants could naturally see the business opportunities.

Not to mention the convenient waterway, Yun Island itself is a huge treasure!

Come on, this is an island made of clouds! The number of tourists who come here just for its reputation is incalculable. Even though it is now completely empty and not accepting tourists, there are still ordinary people willing to take a look.

Not to mention that Ross also sells a special cloud specialty called "Processed Cloud", which can be freely processed into furniture and even beds, chairs and sofas!
Relying on these, in the past two years, many vendors have been attracted to open shops near the channel, dividing the port and collecting rent. However, these are just investments, and only a few can actually operate. At most, they can receive merchant ships for supplies and passenger ships that come here to buy goods.

At this time, in the office in the Cloud Castle in the center of the base, Ross was drinking Coke and writing and drawing on a map.

The above is the future construction plan for Yun Island.

The drawing divides the entire Cloud Island area into four sections in the form of circles.

The town in the center, which is under construction, will belong entirely to the Nasdaq family, and the second circle will be the residential area that will be opened later.

Of course, in Ross's plan, the amusement area on the third floor and the four-circle commercial area take precedence over the residential area.

After all, the construction of residential areas requires more population.

According to the statistical chart, the Nasdaq family’s residence only accounts for 45% of the entire Cloud Island area, while the residential area occupies %!

The amusement area is 15%, the commercial area is 25%, and there is 10% blank area.

This is a grand blueprint. Ross's plan is to complete it within 15 years or even faster, but less than two years have passed.

"Dong dong!"

There was a knock on the door.

"Please come in!"

Without any sound, the door model made by Yun was slowly pushed open, and a well-dressed middle-aged man walked out.

"Mr. Ross, the fleet sent by King Darrenya and Duke Sistia half a year ago has docked at Port Area 1, and the personnel and resources on board are waiting to be received."

As he spoke, the middle-aged man placed a report on the cloud table, then stepped aside and waited for follow-up.

Ross nodded and picked up the report to read it.

Half a year ago, not long after Yun Island was developed, he sent someone to send a letter to his two fathers-in-law, wanting to bring them over here to develop the country.

As for why there are two instead of three?

Morentemola was his third wife. Her father was also a nobleman, but his family fell into poverty. She was the only wife who followed him with all his property.

"That's great! With their support, the construction of Yun Island can be shortened by at least five years!" Although the countries of the two fathers-in-law are not members of the World Government and the conditions are quite difficult, life is still pretty good in this era.

After all, compared to the Great Pirate Era, the number of pirates in this era is only about one-tenth of that time! Even non-member countries have a certain ability to protect themselves.

Moreover, they are all over the world, and there are no super-large pirates wreaking havoc.

The truly dangerous places in this era are the first half of the Grand Line and the New World!

After signing his name on the report, Ross handed it back to the middle-aged man.

This person was the butler who had come to reinforce Darren Ya's father-in-law more than a year ago, shortly after Cloud Island was completed. Without him, his life would not be as leisurely as it is now.

When the middle-aged man left, Ross took out another booklet and placed it on the map on the cloud table. He picked up a pen and began to write down the population in the report.

A total of two thousand poor people and a week's worth of living supplies were included, all of whom were the original people of their country.

After a few days of receiving this batch of resources, the two fathers-in-law will be able to transport all their property here.

"Ah, I didn't expect that I, Ross, would not be able to just eat a gigolo once, but would have to eat the old man again. This is a bit pathetic..."

Putting down the booklet, Ross couldn't help but feel emotional.

There is no way. The basic supplies are okay. I have the reserve funds on Sky Island, which can at least solve the food and drink problems of 5,000 people every year, but it will also accelerate the process of rising shell prices in the East China Sea.

Maybe this year an eggplant costs 20 Baileys, but next year it may cost 22 Baileys.

But population resources are really difficult to manage. Unless the planned amusement area is completed to attract foreign tourists to settle down, there is really not much that can be done.

If you buy a slave, you will have to raise him yourself for a period of time, which is not cost-effective at all.

In this case, you can only rely on your parents for support.

"Dad, I came across an unconscious fishman! Come over here and take a look!"

Suddenly, just as Ross was still planning how to distribute these two thousand people, his second son Alexander suddenly rushed in.

Alexander, who is already eight years old, is 1.4 meters tall and looks more like his mother than Rose. No one knows how the DNA in pirates is arranged.

Rose would not have been the least bit surprised if someone had said that Alexandria was a girl.

"Flocculant?"

Ross raised his eyebrows. It was really rare to encounter murlocs in the East China Sea. Those guys basically appeared around the first half of the Grand Line. It was rare for murlocs to go to all four seas.

"Yes, father, please come and have a look! He is covered with wounds. I dare not bring him here, so I can only place him next to Yunhai Road!"

Alexander looked very anxious. After all, that was a living merman, a species he had only heard his father mention!

Ross nodded, put his things away first, then flew with Alexander towards their destination.

Yunhai Road is another name for the waterways on Yun Island.

After flying for two minutes in total, Ross vaguely saw a fat blue figure lying on the white clouds.

It is a murloc for sure, and the strongest shark-type murloc among them!
But why does this fishman look more and more familiar?

When Sakaski was 55, Jinbei was 46, and now he is 9.
