In the past, Korf had merchant ships that came to buy stone and bomb ore, but that level of trade was only enough for the Kingdom of Korf to survive and for those who worked to eat. There was never any large-scale mining.
After all, stones can be found everywhere.
But Dresden is different. If it's a large-scale mining operation, Aquitaine can sell a lot of stone, making Korf rich.
"The stone itself is fine; in fact, the fact that you're willing to accept my stone is already a huge help. But the bomb rock..."
Aquitaine lowered his head, somewhat apologetically, and said, "The production of Bomb Rock is not high, especially now. Korf is short of many people, and I also promised to give the World Government 30% of the mines. I cannot provide the Bomb Rock that you want, brother. How about... you buy some of my stone, and I'll give you some Bomb Rock in return?"
"30%? To the world government?"
David frowned: "These are your conditions for joining the World Government? Who made these suggestions?"
“I suggested it myself…” Aquitaine said.

Aquitaine opened his mouth, "After all, I am a small country. What if the World Government changes its mind?"
"I'm here!"
David declared loudly, "Even if the World Government backs out, it doesn't matter. I have an ideal: to establish a trade alliance centered on Dressrosa, called 'Dressrosa.' I now formally invite your Kingdom of Korf to join, becoming the first allied nation to join Dressrosa. You will be responsible for production and distribution, and I will be responsible for supplying you with Dressrosa's model. Together, we will build a powerful world in the region!"
He spread his arms, "In this way, our people will prosper together, our lives will be standardized, just as the ocean will never dry up, our people will never lose their way, because we are one!"
"Is...is this possible?" Aquitaine was stunned.
"certainly!"
David nodded emphatically, extended his hand to Aquitaine, and said, "We don't need to agree to the World Government's conditions. They will definitely make you a member state. The rest is up to us. We will create a peaceful land!"
