Chapter 99: Installation of the Cowshed Facilities

Grand Line, Naval Headquarters, Fleet Admiral's Office.

"You three bastards!" Sengoku shouted to Garp, Kizaru, and Aokiji who were currently in front of him who was standing casually. Sengoku's screams could even be heard as far as the Marine Headquarters square. Everyone who heard this didn't pay much attention to it because this kind of thing was an ordinary spectacle to them.

"Don't you know what wrong the three of you did?! How dare you three leave the base without telling me?!" Sengoku shouted back.

"You are babbling too much with stupid things, Sengoku" Garp said without any fear or it could be said that this had become normal for him, "We are doing this too because of our kindness too"

"That's right, Sengoku-san" Aokiji added, "We're doing this for the good of the Navy"

"Navy kindness?" Sengoku's face immediately darkened upon hearing this.

"Didn't you say earlier that you wanted to find out the source of the chakra power of the Fortis Kingdom through battle, didn't you? We're almost close, Sengoku-san" Kizaru added.

"Almost close? What do you mean?" Sengoku's angry face immediately changed hearing this.

"When we went to Fortis Kingdom, we met Hashirama there. Garp-san managed to convince Hashirama to do battle with him" Aokiji said calmly.

"What?!" Sengoku was very surprised by this information and looked at Garp, "Is that true, Garp?"

"Bahahaha… Of course" Garp said excitedly with a grin, "Do you think we can't do it?"

"Good, good, that is very good news" Sengoku was very happy to hear this. The anger he had earlier disappeared instantly and continued, "When is the battle?"

"Still don't know," Garp said.

"Ha? Still don't know?" Sengoku asked strangely.

"The schedule for the battle is still undecided, Sengoku-san" Aokiji quickly said, "Hashirama still can't fight because he has a lot of work to do and also he needs to get permission from King Fortis. Garp-san has given him his den-den mushi number and when the time comes, Hashirama will contact Garp immediately."

"I see" Sengoku nodded, "No problem. Most importantly we can still analyze the source of the power of the chakra. Even if you have to wait, it's not a bad thing" Sengoku muttered then his gaze turned serious to Aokiji and Kizaru.

Getting this gaze from Sengoku, Aokiji and Kizaru felt a very bad feeling.

"You two. bastard! Do you know what the two of you did? Leaving headquarters unannounced? What if the base is attacked or whatever?! Both of you will be punished by writing an apology of 100 thousand words and I have to accept it today" Sengoku said seriously.

"Agh~" Aokiji and Kizaru immediately went limp to hear the punishment.

"Bahahahaha… I told you didn't I? There's no way you two will escape Sengoku's punishment." Garp said with a grin.

"Don't think you can get away, Garp" Sengoku gave Garp a bad look, "You won't get permission to leave the base for 1 whole month. There's no reason for anything other than fighting."

"What?!" Garp who heard this was very surprised, "How could there be such a punishment? Sengoku bastard! Are you looking for trouble with me?!"

The battle of words between Garp and Sengoku finally restarted. Meanwhile Aokiji and Kizaru had walked back to their study to start their work of writing a 100 thousand word apology letter.

Kizaru sighed, "At least the punishment isn't a pay cut…"

"You are lucky, Borsalino" Aokiji said with a jealous face, "Your devil fruit ability allows doing this job quickly." Aokiji looked to the side and sighed, "If only this punishment was accompanied by food made by Gin… I don't think it's bad to do it."

Borsalino nodded in agreement with this. The two of them with downcast faces immediately walked towards their work office again. The Marines who saw this did not find it strange, as this was a normal sight for them.

New World, Prodance Kingdom, Harbour, Fortis Royal Ship, Cabins.

"How many have been successfully recruited this time?" Lowellimina asked with great interest.

"So far, we have recruited 175 people. 125 of them are contract workers while the other 50 are ordinary workers" Eina replied calmly.

"That means there are only 50 more people we need to recruit." Kaguya said calmly.

"More than that" Lowellmina said calmly, "We need to recruit 60 more"

"60? Why are there 10 more, Iowa?" Rin asked with great interest.

"Ars previously contacted me and informed me that at this time the Head of the Livestock Department and the Deputy Head of the Livestock Department had arrived and they would soon start their work. Tomorrow, when we return, as well, we will be together with the ship carrying the cows ordered by us earlier as many as 300 heads"

"Are they going to work soon? Wow! They are really diligent" Isshiki said with a smile, "It was youth"

"300 cows? That means 2 cowsheds have been completed, right?" Gin asked.

Lowellmina nodded.

"Is there anything else we're asked to do, Iowa?" Hashirama asked.

"No" Lowellmina shook her head, "Ars just asked us to do that. The possibility exists. However, maybe Ars wants to wait for us to return to give the task."

"If so. We need to convey this to the people" Shiina said calmly, "About the increase in the quota amount"

"We really have to." Megumi nodded.

"I'll help you guys tomorrow" Rin said suddenly and continued, "After all, my job is to keep records regarding the residency. When I return, I will definitely be directly assigned by Ars to do the task, I will do it now"

"Did you bring the equipment to do it, Rin?" Nezuko asked.

"Of course" Rin nodded, "I already anticipated this and brought it along with me. Tomorrow, I will gather everyone who has registered to record their identity along with the identity of their families."

New World, Fortis Kingdom, Ranch Territory.

The time finally showed at 20.00 pm. Ars, Ikumi and Yoshino went to the farm area to install the facilities in the warehouse which were ready to be used since tomorrow the warehouse would be used soon. Luckily at this time the road leading to the farm area already has street lights which causes the atmosphere to get there not too scary.

The three of them had previously stopped in the area where the residents lived because there were 10 houses divided into 5 units of the second type of house and 5 units of the third type of house that had been completed and now the furniture has been successfully installed there. Since Rin wasn't here yet, the division of the house still couldn't be done. This is because Rin is holding the list.

It didn't take long for the three of them to arrive at the warehouse.

"Elie, how many points does it take to purchase a cowshed facility for milking equipment and grooming?"

[There's a lot of variety for the price, Ars. If you pay attention to the size of the cowshed and also about the number of cows that will be cultivated in this cage. Requires at least 4 million points]

"Those 4 million points, is it just the price for the milk press or maybe there are other facilities?"

[It's just a milk press, Ars. If you want to get additional other facilities such as room temperature control facilities and also several other facilities. At least, for each facility requires an additional 1 million points or more]

"That would cost quite a lot of points" Ars muttered and looked at Ikumi and Yoshino, "I have communicated with Elie and for the price of the milking facility for the number of cows in this stable is 4 million points. Meanwhile, if there are additional facilities it will require a large number of points as well."

"Will the points you have be used elsewhere?" Ikumi asked.

"I want to immediately summon people from the battle division. Currently only Hashirama is in the fighting division and Hashirama can't always appear. There must be someone else to appear in public so that people will not be suspicious especially the World government"

"Then we'd better save up first" Yoshino said, "Besides, the temperature conditions of this region itself are not too hot. This cage still does not need the addition of a fan and others. Besides, regarding the matter of maintenance equipment and so on, we can postpone it until there are points left that will not be used at this time."

"Yes" Ikumi nodded, "Just buy a tool that can help with milking, Ars. It is an indispensable facility"

"Okay" Ars nodded and said "Elie, I'll just take the milk-pressing facility"

[Purchase of a milk press will require 4 million points. Do you want to do it?]

"Do"

Instantly the cage which was previously empty and there were only plots of land for each cow's breeding place, immediately turned into a slightly modern cage with connecting hoses and milk presses in every place where the cows would be occupied. There is also a large tube in a previously vacated space and also around the tube there are various operating controls.

"Nice tool" Ikumi said excitedly looking at the tool.

"Did you hit this tool, Ikumi?" Ars asked with great interest.

Ikumi nodded, "Even though I have forgotten my life experience. However, I still remember seeing this milk press. The milk press itself is a tool commonly used in the modern world. This tool itself is quite sophisticated because this tool has been equipped with an ultra technology that is able to kill germs in cow's milk "

"It means that every cow's milk that has been squeezed from the cow can be drunk immediately after entering this tool, right?" Ask Ars.

"Sure" Ikumi nodded, "Besides that, this tool can also help us to process to put milk into prepared bottles. Come with me"

Ikumi immediately walked towards the device along with Ars and Yoshino behind her. Ikumi immediately went to the left side of the tool and pointed at a section that had the shape of a bottle holder, "This is where it is. We just need to set the bottles to the predefined positions and let the tool work. Our job itself is just to cover the bottles safely."

"Instead of doing it yourself" Yoshino said then looked at Ars, "Can you buy a tool that helps to process the bottles? This also helps to maintain the uniqueness of our products."

"Wait a minute" Ars said, "Is there such a device, Elie?"

[The tool exists. You can buy it for 250 thousand points and it can also help in processing large volumes of bottles]

"The price is quite expensive. But, it doesn't matter. Is there still enough room left to accommodate the tool?"

[Still available space. You can buy this tool and place it right next to the bottle feeder so the workers on duty don't have to worry about moving it]

"I see" Ars nodded and looked at Yoshino and Ikumi, "The device is there. I'll buy it, let's move somewhere else. Elie will install the device at our place now."

Ikumi and Yoshino nodded.

The three of them immediately walked away from the place.

"Elie, I want to buy that equipment"

[Equipment to process bottles will cost 250 thousand points. Do you want to buy it?]

"Yes." Ares nodded.

Instantly the device that Yoshino wanted appeared right next to the milking control device. The tool is quite large. However, the size itself is still inferior to the equipment for processing milk that has been milked and also the room that was previously there is still sufficient to accommodate the tool.

"Great! That way my task will be easier" Yoshino said excitedly.

"If so. You should be able to produce a lot of product in one day" Ikumi said, "Each cow can produce at least 15 to 20 liters of milk per day. That was the standard of the cow in my previous world and I'm sure it will be the standard of yours too. As for this world, there was a possibility that more milk could be produced. If we estimate each cow can produce 30 liters of milk every day, at least every day with 300 cows will be able to produce 9000 liters of milk. There are at least about 7500 liters of milk that we can trade every day for now"

"Stay cool. I will definitely do my best" Yoshino said with a smile and looked at Ars, "Have you guys decided on the selling price of cow's milk?"

"We haven't discussed that yet. However, I have asked Elie about the average price of cow's milk in this world and have been able to estimate the price we will market our dairy products for in the future."

"How much it costs?" Ikumi asked with great interest.

"The average price of cow's milk in the world ranges from 300 berries to 400 berries. It all depends on the location where the milk is sold. If the cow's milk shop is rich with cows like the prodance kingdom, the cow's milk sold has a price of 300 berries. Meanwhile, if the cow's milk being sold is a place that has few cows and is far from where to get milk, the price can go up to 400 berries or more" Ars said calmly and continued, "We can set a price for cow's milk of 200 berries for sale. to the kingdom that has a cooperative relationship with us and its citizens. As for the market price. We can set the price for 250 thousand berries. During the planned 14 cattle pens can be completed. At least, we can raise 2100 cows and if each cow can produce as much as 30 liters of milk every day, every day we can get 63 thousand liters of cow's milk which means there are 63 thousand glasses of milk that can be produced. If we sell 60 thousand liters of milk every day, at least the income that will be generated every day is around 12 million berries and if we take the calculation for each month it is 360 million berries."

"200 berries for every pint? No problem. As long as we can make a profit and can pay for the workers. I have no problem with the price given" Ikumi said.

"Me, too. No need to take big profits. It's okay to take a small price. as long as the products we sell are many purchases. We will definitely get a big profit" Yoshino said optimistically.

"I think so too" Ars nodded, "Let's proceed to the next stable then back to the royal palace. I want to get some rest tonight. Quite tiring work today"

Ikumi and Yoshino nodded and the three of them continued to go to the other stables. Ars bought the same equipment as the previous cage. After the process was complete, the three of them walked back together while discussing the issue of selling prices for various goods, especially for the livestock section.
