Farming in Pirate World

Li Ming's [-] million Baileys completely brought this auction to an end.

The king has given up, and no one will bid with Li Ming anymore.

Mr. Disco also knew this, and after asking twice, he happily knocked the auction hammer and announced the ownership of this mermaid slave.

Whether it was other buyers at the auction or Mr. Disco who was still standing on the stage, they were all very curious about Li Ming's identity, but no one took the initiative to talk.

Li Ming came with Ross Alexander. Who knows what his identity is?If we talk easily, no one can figure out what Li Ming's temper is.

But there is no doubt that Li Ming became famous.

Although the people present were not the top figures in each circle, and were not as good as those "Admiral", "Shichibukai" and "Yonko", they were still the mainstay of each force, and they could be considered celebrities to some extent.

Everyone here feels that their worth is not less than hundreds of millions or even billions of beri, but they can so easily spend [-] million beri in working capital to buy a slave that can only be used to show off. They feel that they are doing it. less than.

Because of this, Li Ming's boldness is extremely outstanding.

Under everyone's envious gaze, Li Ming handed over the money without hesitation, and then, with Mr. Disco's respectful service, he received the key to a slave collar, indicating that the mermaid slave was his personal property.

Li Ming put away the key, exchanged a few words with Ross Alexander, and then returned to the hotel with the mermaid clan and the huge fish tank containing the mermaid clan.

Seeing that Li Ming was so anxious to take the mermaid back, Ross Alexander looked at the mermaid, then at Li Ming, with an "I understand" expression, and let Li Ming go:

"I owe you a favor this time. Next time, the two of us must have a good drink."

He was still thinking about the angry incident between him and the king.

Li Ming's sudden rise can be regarded as a good fight for him.

Li Ming was not polite to him. It was within his plan to buy this mermaid, which cost [-] million beli. Although it was a bit expensive, it was barely expected.

Fortunately, there is a specialty bubble in the Shampoo Islands, so it is not difficult for Li Ming to bring a huge fish tank.

As for the mermaid slaves being too showy... just cover them with a cloth.

Returning to the hotel where he temporarily stayed, Li Ming lifted up the cotton cloth used to cover the area, looked at the huge fish tank in front of him, and fell into deep thought.

The mermaid lady inside also looked at Li Ming thoughtfully through the glass fish tank.

I didn't feel anything when I was at the auction house. Now it seems that this mermaid slave is extremely large. From the head to the tail of the fish, it must be at least six meters long.

Compared with other mermaids Li Ming knew, this length was already quite terrifying.

Moreover, the tail fin of this mermaid is also unusually strong. Although there are no muscle bulges, the smooth skin does not show the weakness of ordinary mermaids at all, but has a bit of vitality and heroism.

She is no ordinary mermaid.

The two looked at each other for a long time before Li Mingcai asked with a headache:

"You don't seem surprised at all?"

Whether it was at the auction or after being taken away by Li Ming, this mermaid slave had always seemed unusually calm, fearful and uneasy like no other slave.

Peace is a little weird.

"You won't do anything to me anyway, there's nothing surprising."

"In comparison, what surprises me more is you."

"You look so young up close."

"Do you know me? This must be the first time we meet."

"It's indeed our first meeting, but don't you also know me?"

"But instead of talking about that, can I take the thing off my neck first? This collar is very uncomfortable to wear."

"I spent [-] million beli to buy this. Why would I give it to you like this?"

Faced with Li Ming's question, the mermaid slave was too lazy to answer. Instead, he stretched out his hand and asked Li Ming for the key.

She knew that Li Ming would definitely give it to her.

She guessed right.

Faced with her attitude, Li Ming knew that she had no need to bargain. This mermaid slave knew all about her, and she knew exactly what she would do.

"Catch it."

Opening the lid of the fish tank, Li Ming threw the key into the water and asked her to untie the collar by herself.

"Why did you come to the sea when you weren't staying on Fish-Man Island?"

The mermaid slave fumbled to untie the slave collar, threw the collar aside, and then breathed a long sigh of relief.

Although she had long expected that she would not be in much danger, it had to be said that after being caught by the slave traders, she could not help but feel a little panicked.

"I came to the sea to find you."

After throwing away the slave collar, her posture in the fish tank became more comfortable, and she became more relaxed facing Li Ming.

"Looking for me?"

"What you mean by looking for me is to put a slave collar on yourself, send it to the auction house, and then ask me to spend [-] million beli?"

"You run the Mermaid Coffee Shop by yourself. You are still a small boss. You know how hard it is to make money. Can't you find another way? Save me some money!"

Two hundred million beli!Two hundred million beli!

I have so much money, I use it to buy ribs and stew soup. Isn’t it delicious?

"This is all destined by fate. Neither you nor I have a choice."

The mermaid stretched out in the fish tank and answered Li Ming's question casually.

"For those [-] million Baileys, give me an IOU."

"You owe my brother so much money. Did my brother ask you to give him an IOU?"

She would not be so stupid to issue an IOU of [-] million Baileys.

Just with her small coffee shop and so many mermaid girls under her control, if she wants to exchange for [-] million beli, she doesn't know that she will be able to run it until the end of the year of the monkey.

"Since when did I owe your brother money? It was all of his own free will, right?"

"You think so?"

The mermaid slave looked into Li Ming's eyes and curled his lips, as if mocking Li Ming's shamelessness.

Li Ming felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by her. He hesitated for a moment and finally sighed:

"Yes, I do have some calculations in it, but Aaron is also voluntary! We are an equal exchange!"

At this point, Li Ming was unwilling to continue on this topic, so he patted his knees and said directly:

"Mrs. Charlie, we both know each other well, so we don't need to beat around the bush."

"Why did you take the risk and come to land this time? What happened on Fish-Man Island?"

Mrs. Charlie's tail fin trembled twice. She was not surprised that Li Ming could call her name, but she was a little touched by how quickly Li Ming judged that something had happened on Fish-Man Island.

That's right, this mermaid slave is Aaron's sister, the fortune teller of Fish-Man Island, the owner of the mermaid cafe, and the shark species mermaid--Mrs. Charlie.

As Aaron's sister, a dignified shark, it's not too strange to have such a huge size.

However, if we follow the trajectory of the original work, she should be staying on the Fish-Man Island and running her Mermaid Cafe safely at this time. How could she suddenly come to the sea and be raped by human traffickers? Caught? !

Needless to say, this is Li Ming's own fault.

"I already told you, I'm here to find you."

"However, something did happen on Fish-Man Island..."

Li Ming frowned, thinking so.

"I knew that changing the plot wouldn't do any good."

"What did you say?"

"It's nothing."

Not hearing Li Ming's muttering clearly, Mrs. Charlie frowned, but she didn't pay too much attention.

"Now that you know something happened on Fish-Man Island, what are you going to do?"

"What should I do? If something happens on Fish-Man Island, do I care what the hell it is?"

Li Ming scratched his head in pain, as expected, this matter still involved him.

But even though he knew this was the case, Li Ming still wanted to struggle.

"In the face of fate, escaping and struggling are useless. The dispute on Fish-Man Island is related to you, and you and I both know it well."

"My brother Aaron suddenly returned to Fish-Man Island from the East China Sea, and he looked aggressive. He was obviously bewitched by some people."

"However, what surprises me is that my incompetent brother was able to persuade Mr. Jinbei to suppress Fishman Street in a reasonable manner. This is something I did not expect."

"If the two of them join forces, the rebellion in Fishman Street should have been nipped in the bud! What could happen?"

In fact, as long as Jinbei knows the truth about the rebellion in Fishman Street, there is no need for Aaron at all. Jinbei can bring down the entire Fishman Street alone.

Under such a stable situation, what could happen to Fish-Man Island?

"That's the problem."

Mrs. Xia Li's tone dropped, and she said to Li Ming solemnly:

"The rebellion in Fishman Street was indeed exposed, but it was not suppressed!"

"Aaron's appearance triggered the rebellion in advance. The entrance to Fish-Man Street was completely sealed, and the King's Army of Fish-Man Island was confronting Fish-Man Street."

"Although the strength of Fish-Man Street is not strong, they seem to have extremely important "weapons" in their hands, which can even threaten the safety of Fish-Man Island. This makes Mr. Jinbei and the King avoid it."

"Moreover, Mr. Jinbei seems to have encountered other things now, and he is having a headache about it. He can't deal with it wholeheartedly!"

"Something else?"

Hearing this, Li Ming thought for a long time and suddenly thought of the war on the top.

This is probably the only incident that has happened recently that can affect a person of Jinbei's level.

You must know that one of the two sides in the war is the powerful navy. As a Shichibukai, he should help the navy fight against Whitebeard.

But Whitebeard was as grateful as a mountain to him. The flag of the Whitebeard Pirates still flies on the palace on Fish-Man Island, frightening every pirate who passes by here and protecting the entire Fish-Man Island.

As for changing to the "Auntie" flag?That was already after Whitebeard's death.

Now, Whitebeard is the patron saint of Fishman Island!

Although the news of Ace's arrest has not spread yet, it is natural for the well-informed upper management to be able to collect some secret information.

It seems that the outbreak of war on the top is extremely close.

"It seems that you already know what happened."

Seeing Li Ming's thoughtful expression, Mrs. Charlie knew that Li Ming must know exactly why Jinbei was troubled.

"But even so, things haven't developed to the point where you have to leave your hometown."

The so-called "weapons" in the hands of the Yumen Street rebel camp are only two things that can make both Jinbei and the King surrender.

The first one is a secret medicine hidden deep in the Royal Palace of Fish-Man Island, which can increase a person's strength in a short period of time, but the price is lifespan.

This treasure is the "Jade Box" inherited from the fishman royal family. It was kept in the palace treasury, but now it has been lost.

The second thing is the ability of the target fruit.

The ability of the target fruit, as long as the opponent is designated as the target, the items thrown by the user will automatically track to the ends of the earth, unless they are shot down or blocked by obstacles on the way, the tracking will stop.

The target fruit user of this generation is Vander Deken of the fish-men tribe. For this reason, he lost the fish-men's innate ability to swim in the sea, but in contrast, he also gained troublesome power.

Now, the target of his fruit power is the mermaid princess Shirahoshi. If he wants, he can even "launch" the undersea ark "Noah" at Shirahoshi.

"Noah" is a giant ark sunk at the bottom of the sea. Its area is not even much smaller than that of Fish-Man Island. As long as it is propelled by the power of the Target Fruit, there is absolutely nothing in the world that can stop it.

Either of these two "weapons" is enough to threaten the safety of Fish-Man Island, but the matter will not develop to the point where Mrs. Charlie leaves home.

Mrs. Charlie's status in Fish-Man Island is very special. As Aaron's sister, everyone in Fish-Man Street will give her some respect.

Aaron is not well-known in the human world, but he is well-known in the fish-man world. To this day, Aaron has a group of extremely fanatical followers.

Of course, it's unclear whether the group of pursuers are still there.

Of course, the most important thing is that she has the innate ability to predict. She once predicted the arrival of the "Great Age of Pirates" when she was four years old.

So far, her predictions have been [-]% accurate, and the accuracy is terrifying.

Because of this factor, even the fishman royal family treated her with great respect, and her words could even influence the king's judgment.

To give a simple example, in the original plot, at least half of the reason why Luffy was wanted by the royal family of Fish-Man Island was because Mrs. Charlie accidentally foresaw Luffy's "destruction" of Fish-Man Island.

After Luffy and his friends were wanted, there was a plot where Luffy took Shirahoshi and ran away from home.

Of course, Mrs. Charlie should have given up her identity as a fortune teller now and no longer makes predictions.
