Pirate: I am invincible if I like farming.
Chapter 18 Caravan in the East China Sea
In the days of recovery, Finn learned more about the Grand Line through communication with Crocas. Now that he has almost recovered from his injury, it is time to consider leaving.
However, he didn't know where to go next.
While Finn was thinking about his future, a merchant ship from the East China Sea encountered an unexpected situation while crossing the Upside Down Mountain.
The merchant ship lost control in the turbulent sea currents. At the critical moment when it was about to hit the stone walls on both sides of the channel, Finn acted quickly and took a few quick steps to stabilize the merchant ship and block its momentum of moving forward.
This scene stunned the crew members who were lingering in the shadow of death.
The merchant ship was also under the prompt command of the navigator. The helmsman adjusted the direction according to the order and successfully restored stability with the help of Finn. Finn also cleverly landed on the boat. The crew members who were surrounded by dangers gradually put their minds back to their original position at this time, but some of them still had lingering fears.
Fortunately, Captain Derek, an experienced seaman, had already recovered from his shock and expressed his gratitude to Finn.
A smart crew member on the ship usually likes to pay attention to the news on the sea. He immediately recognized Finn and ran over quickly. He looked at Finn with admiration and hurriedly said to the captain: "Captain Derek, this is what I always say. Idol, Lord Martial Saint Finn."
Then he turned to Fenn excitedly and worshiped: "Master Fenn, thank you for saving us. I really thought I was going to die just now. It was so dangerous."
Finn looked at the sudden appearance of his little fanboy, and just smiled lightly and nodded without saying a word. I don't know since when, his pursuit of transcendence in life became persistent, and he became more and more indifferent to everything around him, as if he was indifferent.
However, this cold attitude did not make everyone on the ship feel uncomfortable. They had long been accustomed to it. Obviously, this was the current situation of the world - the strong did not need to cater to the weak.
Not long after, merchant ships docked one after another on the sea near Twin Points Lighthouse. Captain Derek asked the merchant fleet to rest on the spot and wait for the next order. He himself reported his navigation status to the headquarters, and then began to wait.
Finn was a little curious about the maritime trade in the pirate world, so he asked Derek about related matters. It turns out that this fleet is a delivery fleet owned by a large chamber of commerce in the East China Sea. It is responsible for traveling to and from the great waterway and performing trading tasks.
Through Derek's introduction, Finn learned that due to the changeable climate of the Grand Line, it was extremely unfriendly to some weak crops, such as rice, wheat, and tobacco, and the yields were scarce. On the contrary, the climate conditions all over the world are just suitable for the growth of these crops.
But the Great Waterway also has its own unique products. This difference creates a unique and complementary trade relationship between the Great Waterway and the Four Seas.
The agricultural products from all over the world that their caravans are responsible for transporting can be sold on the Grand Waterway for more than ten times the profit of all over the world. They can also bring back the unique resources of the Great Waterway. These resources are also very popular all over the world and have huge profits.
It is simply unbelievable that a caravan can earn hundreds of millions of beli profits in one trip, so this has formed a prosperous trade between the four seas and the Great Waterway, although the Great Waterway is indeed full of dangers.
Finn knows nothing about business. In his previous life, he was just a wage earner. But this does not prevent him from lamenting that the trade of exchanging what is needed is too profitable.
Since his injury had almost recovered, he decided to go with the caravan to experience it. Derek agreed to this request without hesitation and arranged VIP treatment for Finn. Finn accepted this gladly. Unknowingly, Finn seemed to have adapted to this kind of respect for himself.
Derek is not a fool, he is just a shrewd man, otherwise he would not be the manager of this caravan. Although he knows nothing about Finn's exact strength, from the ability that Finn displayed in the Upside Down Mountain to manipulate dozens of tons of ships, His strength shocked him.
The ability to walk on the sea was completely beyond his cognition. He knew that these were super thighs. As long as he took good care of them, they might be his life-saving straw. Obviously, he understands that the opportunity to make friends with such a strong person is quite rare.
While Derek was communicating with Finn, a large ship slowly approached. Looking at Derek's reaction, he knew that this was the person he was waiting for.
Because the Great Waterway is too dangerous, if there is no one who is familiar with the sea to guide the caravan, the caravan will easily get into trouble. Climate, currents and pirates may have contributed to the demise of the fleet. Therefore, the trade needs to be led by local businessmen, and the people who come to handle it are sent by the target chamber of commerce this time.
Does it mean that local merchants will not be robbed by pirates? It can only be said that basically no, because there is usually some tacit understanding between the large pirate groups that have a dominant position in various sea areas, and each other does not invade the merchant ships under the protection of each other in order to safeguard each other's economic interests.
If mutual attacks on merchant ships under each other's protection occur, it will be regarded as a war, leading to an escalation of conflicts. Especially when surviving on the sea, face and name are regarded as life. Being attacked without fighting back will be considered weak and will attract countless covetous people. Therefore, pirate groups with similar strength usually maintain relative restraint.
The person who came was a middle-aged man with a mustache, and he brought a lot of guards. He seemed to have a high status in the chamber of commerce. They looked very familiar to Derek, and they greeted each other skillfully after getting on the boat.
"Alex, long time no see. I didn't expect you to come here in person this time. What an honor." Derek greeted politely.
"Derek, we are all old friends, so there is no need to be polite. I have nothing to do this time, so come out and have a look." Alex smiled.
Then, Derek pulled Alex and walked into the boat. Before leaving, he politely greeted Finn and said he was sorry and he had to deal with some things. Finn also nodded slightly to express his casualness.
In the cabin, Derek quietly explained to Alex Fenn's identity and told him the scene where Fenn saved them.
Obviously, Alex has seen more of the world than Derek and understands its implications. In this sea area, he knew that even the several lieutenants at the nearby naval base might not be able to do this, let alone the Crazy Wolf Pirates who controlled their country's maritime trade.
He took a breath of cold air and recalled in his mind the figure he had just seen. That was a super strong man.
When Derek saw this, he knew that his goal of pulling off the tiger's skin and pretending to be a tiger was achieved, so he continued to introduce Finn's situation to Alex in detail.
Alex casually inspected the ship and after confirming the transaction materials, he immediately informed everyone to prepare to set sail. Resolutely, he quickly took out the prepared navigation pointer and handed it to Derek. At the same time, he had the idea of getting acquainted with Finn.
The fleet traveled for a total of 3 days, during which they encountered several waves of cruising naval warships and conducted brief inspections. They also encountered fleets from other pirate forces, but when Alex showed the tokens of the Crazy Wolf Pirates, those fleets chose to leave directly. Apparently, in the waters around Cloudmist Island, the Mad Wolf Pirates have some power.
Finn always stood on the bow of the boat during the day. He liked the cool feeling of the wind. With the injury fully recovered, Shenwu Shenliuxian was once again used to practice domineering, and it also added a mysterious flavor to him.
During this time, Alex talked to Finn about the situation in his country. This country is called the Kingdom of Clouds and Mists because 70% of the country's land is covered by mountain clouds and mists. Due to the thick fog all year round, it only fades away in a very small period of time.
This makes the country's environment very suitable for growing various precious medicinal materials. At the same time, the mountains shrouded in thick fog all year round are home to a large number of ferocious beasts, making it extremely difficult for humans to explore them, so most areas maintain their original environment.
However, with the advent of the great pirate era in recent years and the prosperity of maritime trade, the progress of exploration has gradually accelerated. At the same time, various precious, high-quality and aged medicinal materials are often found.
When he heard that this country was actually rich in medicinal materials, and medicinal materials that were thousands or thousands of years old were not uncommon, Fein couldn't help but feel a little hopeful. In his previous life, he had read too many novels, in which descriptions of medicines included sayings such as "a hundred-year-old medicine, a thousand-year elixir, and a ten-thousand-year miracle medicine."
Finn wanted to know if drugs could help increase strength in this world.
Fein decided to learn more about medicinal materials in this country and try it himself. If old medicinal materials really represent the transformation of medicinal efficacy, then it is very likely that the mutual complementation of medicinal materials will play a key role in the transformation of the human body. It will be an epoch-making contribution, and Fein can't help but look forward to it.
In fact, Fein had some suspicions that the evolutionary path of this world might be askew. He believed that this world should initially follow a cultivation system of human body evolution and transformation. Why did Fein make such a guess?
Because there have always been some extraordinary items in this world, such as Devil Fruit, and there are power systems that transcend physical dimensions, such as Haki.
Now, the research on the evolution of life through cultivation seems to have stagnated. On the contrary, the research on life through scientific means has continued to advance.
As for the cause of this phenomenon, Fein speculated that it may be due to the influence of visitors from the moon. The ancestors of the Lunarians and Sandians brought ancient technology and changed the original evolutionary trajectory.
Ancient technology demonstrates the power of external forces, just as 800 years later, the world is still afraid of the power of Pluto.
In contrast, ordinary people may have no achievements despite years of practice, and may still be unable to withstand the threat of bullets. Of course, it may also be the result of survival of the fittest.
"Am I really going to reopen the world's path to true transformation and cultivation?" Finn couldn't help but think, and he couldn't help but laugh without even realizing it.
