"What do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'what do you mean'? Look at that disgusted look on your face! You have absolutely no idea how capable you are, bro!!!"
Seeing Binz's reluctant look, Jinbe him by the collar, took his large arms, and carried him towards Gawain.
"Sir, please tell him just how capable he really is!"
This kid, heh heh, doesn't know how lucky he is. He always thinks he's a warrior charging into battle, but he doesn't realize that his abilities are far more important than those of ten thousand soldiers!
"Yes!"
Looking at Jinbe walking over with someone in tow, Gawain smiled and nodded, saying...
"Binz, you seem determined to become a warrior?"
Haha, the one thing this ship has no shortage of is people who know how to kill!
There are countless people on the Dark Bird Ship who are better at killing than you, including myself!
Unfortunately, although I am a peace-loving person, war is the main theme of this world. Even if the goal is to end war, we must first understand war better than those who understand war!
But what is far more important than war, some people think, is freedom; I think it is people's livelihood!
And you, you brat, do you know how much impact your abilities can have on the lives of people living by this sea?
At this point, Gawain looked at the snow in the sky. Many snowflakes landed on his shoulders and were then evaporated by the electric current.
Savoring the taste of snow, Gawain turned back and continued speaking to Binz.
"The food issue has always been a major issue concerning people's livelihood!"
As we all know, on this vast ocean, our appetite... is quite extraordinary!
Even an ordinary farmer needs to eat at least two kilograms of staple food, plus a considerable amount of supplementary food, and enough meat to replenish his energy in order to meet his body's needs at each meal.
Not to mention the various races!
Whether it's the Fish-Man Tribe or the Mink Tribe, they are naturally stronger than humans, so they also naturally have a larger appetite.
At this point, Gawain gently rubbed his forehead.
"Jinbe, when you were in the sea, Fish-Man and Merfolk different things."
Fish-Man eat all kinds of sea fish, while Merfolk almost never eat fish or seafood, only vegetables.
This is partly your custom, and partly... it's a way of life you've had no choice but to live.
Because once the Fish-Man set foot on land, and no longer had as much time to hunt sea monsters extensively...
The more than Merfolk on Sabaody Island alone have consumed enough food to feed two million people for half a year in just the last three months...
In addition, this world also has Giants...
In short, alas, the world today faces a truly enormous food shortage!
As soon as he finished speaking, Gawain walked over to Binz and pulled him out of Jinbe's arms.
While smoothing out Binz's clothes, Gawain continued speaking to Binz.
"Originally, I was powerless to solve the food problem, or rather, I was unable to solve the fundamental problem of food, which is the problem of fundamentally increasing food production."
In addition to mobilizing manpower to develop new land, such as turning the barren Long Ring Long Land into a farm.
I don't have the time or the resources to cultivate and optimize grain varieties generation after generation!
It's not genetic modification, it's not special methods, it's the most basic yet most difficult breeding!
From each batch of grain, the largest and plumpest Devil Fruit are selected for continued planting, and then even larger and plumper seeds are selected to cultivate superior varieties and premium seeds.
Without your help, this research would have taken decades to complete.
But your appearance has greatly made up for that time!
Gawain pointed to the garden not far away, his finger tapping the air, while a giant hand of lightning gently condensed in the void and touched the chili peppers.
"These past few days, you've been with Jinbe, and by simply comparing flavors, you've cultivated a chili variety with fuller flesh, more concentrated spiciness, and a better color."
Then, you can start with other scarce seasonings on the high seas and gradually transition to cultivating higher-yielding rice and wheat that can withstand all kinds of weather conditions Grand Line.
One day in the future, perhaps all of our names will disappear from history.
But you, if you do better than I imagine, then your name might become part of every family's prayers before meals, along with their rice bowls!
After saying that, Gawain withdrew his hand and gently patted Binz on the shoulder.
"You are worthy of my expectations, Binz, and I hope you will have even higher expectations for yourself."
Perhaps even I cannot feed the entire world and ensure that everyone has enough to eat through my management and policies.
But you really can!
"I...?"
Hearing Gawain's words, Binz parted his slightly swollen lips and pointed tremblingly to his chest.
Am I really that great?
"What do you think? Aside from your Paramecia Mosa Mosa no Mi and the legendary Logia Forest-Forest Fruit, how many Devil Fruits have you seen that can promote plant growth?"
Binz, don't let me down!
Gawain emphasized this earnestly to Binz.
At this point, Binz nodded heavily.
"Understood, Gawain!"
He clenched his fists tightly.
"I will do as you say and continuously promote plant growth to cultivate even better plant seeds!"
But can I not try it?
I ate chili peppers all day yesterday, and my mouth is still swollen.
And my mouth is a minor issue, but down there... cough cough, anyway, I'm really in so much pain, sir!"
"Why?!!"
Hearing Binz's words, Gawain stared wide-eyed, completely bewildered.
"When you were cultivating the chili peppers yesterday, did you personally taste them all?"
Jinbe?!
Gawain's eyes turned to Jinbe's direction, and seeing this, Jinbe innocently waved his hand.
"Ahem, well, I don't really like spicy food."
I like spicy food, but I only like the spiciness, like chili peppers and stuff...
My lord, don't worry, I won't let Brother Binz experiment on his own anymore. Wouldn't it be better to have the chefs evaluate the ingredients directly?
If you hadn't said that, I really wouldn't have known he was so effective; I was just trying to comfort him before.
After all, these Mosa Mosa no Mi; aside from cultivating vines to entangle others, they really don't have much talent for fighting.
I never imagined this was actually a power capable of influencing the world!!!
As they were talking, Jinbe excitedly grabbed Binz and they headed straight for the forest and the botanical garden.
Watching Jinbe figure, Gawain shook his head with amusement.
Jinbe is a seasoned hunter who leaves nothing but desolation in his wake, diving into forests and mountains wherever he goes.
Even if it's just a random dog passing by, Jinbe would feel like kicking it.
Aside from the possibility that the Fish-Man have an extra layer of compassion for the fish in the ocean, to the point that they never catch any fish.
His appetite is unparalleled among the Dark Bird!
Beside her, watching Binz being dragged away, Ain's mouth gaped open slightly.
"Is... that another way to explain it?"
I actually believed it! Does this guy next to me really have the ability to feed the whole world?
Gawain, you're not just fooling him like Jinbe, are you?
"Ha?"
Upon hearing this, Gawain frowned, and then he drew his Rokumei Kotetsu.
Gawain gestured with the sword blade at Ain, and then laughed.
"Ain, have you gotten too familiar with me, so you want to spar with me a few times?"
"I I I I I don't no no no...!"
Just as Ain was trembling with fear, Shiryu, with a cigar in his mouth, moved closer to Gawain.
"Sir, a little girl can't satisfy you. Let's practice together instead!"
Your swordsmanship has improved significantly lately, and with the help of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, your physical abilities are almost at my level!
Fighting you now is definitely more enjoyable than before, so...?"
"OK!"
Gawain's eyes lit up, and then he brandished his knife.
"Let's have a small fight, but try not to damage the ship."
Also, it's snowing, so we're probably getting close to the Drum Kingdom.
Play for a while, then prepare to log in!
As he spoke, Gawain's hands and feet suddenly transformed into electricity, and he rushed towards Shiryu's position at lightning speed!
Facing Gawain's sword, Shiryu lightly flicked the Raiu with his left thumb.
As Raiu emerged from his body, he Rokumei Kotetsu.
Accompanied by a hurricane that seemed to tear the air apart, Ain was thrown back more than ten steps by the turbulent airflow!
Watching the fierce battle raging amidst the clashing of swords and the constant clanging of metal on metal.
Ain took a deep breath.
Is this what the adult world is like?
Such incredible strength!!!
Just as Gawain and Shiryu began their sparring, Crocodile, rather uncomfortably, put on a full set of Dark Bird Group's formal attire.
A crisp military uniform, smart trousers, gleaming leather shoes, and a dashing overcoat.
Although everything was no different from his usual attire, he used to wear a suit and tie, which was his style.
Now he's dressed formally and looks dignified, which is typical of Gawain!
Thinking of this, Crocodile, with a cigar in his mouth and a grin, left his bedroom and went to the training ground.
As soon as he came out, he focused his attention on Robin, who was lying on a beach chair with his legs crossed, reading a book. He then slowly walked towards Robin.
"Miss Ideal Day, you seem to be adapting very well to this ship!"
Hehe~.
Upon hearing Crocodile's voice, Robin replied softly without looking up.
"My lord, times have changed. There's no need for you to chat with me anymore."
There are no factions on this ship; with him around, there's no chance of any real competition.
At least until all our objectives have been achieved, this ship will not tolerate any conspiracies.
So, Mr. O, Crocodile.
Enjoy life now!
After saying that, Robin threw the book she was reading in front of Crocodile.
Crocodile created a wisp of sand and caught Robin's book. After only a couple of glances, he showed an expression of utter shock.
Because the book in his hand contained an accurate record of Crocodile's plot and everything he did in Alabasta!
Looking at those, Crocodile swallowed hard in frustration.
"Miss Robin, is it really necessary to write this down specifically?"
Even the adults have forgiven my past!
I've now incorporated Baroque Works into Black Ice Terrace, and I'm working diligently on it!
You're being a bit too harsh on me by writing this!
"Hehe, no, Mr. Crocodile ~."
Robin responded to Crocodile's words with a smile.
"I am simply recording a true history, and this history will not be made public now."
I just feel that perhaps we can do some things that we can't tell the public, all for the sake of a better future.
But our descendants have the right to know the truth of history.
Don't worry, you won't end up in a situation where everyone hates you. Even if you do, your parents will definitely find a way to protect you.
Have some confidence in yourself; we're all just a part of history!
After saying that, Robin smiled and stretched out her hand. In the next instant, a series of female arms appeared out of thin air in Crocodile's sand.
The arm gently picked up the book and then handed it to Robin.
Meanwhile, right behind the beach chair Robin was using to rest.
She had specially arranged hundreds of tables, each with different hands and eyes, to write different content!
Robin, who possesses the Flower-Flower Fruit, can single-handedly replace an entire group of historians!
On the other hand, Ichisho sat upright on the figurehead of the Dark Bird Ship, listening to the sounds of Gawain and Shiryu in fierce combat.
As he listened, he turned his head and listened to the Kuma standing quietly beside the bow of the boat.
"I thought this morning was supposed to be the time for gravity training."
It seems the training plan has been changed at the last minute, which gives me more time to rest. Isn't that good?
"Indeed."
Hearing Yixiao's words, Kuma nodded slightly, then closed the notebook in his hand and tucked it under his arm.
While holding the notebook between his legs, Kuma said to Yi Xiao.
"Mr. Yixiao, I hope to travel with you when we arrive at Drum Island!"
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Yixiao turned her ear towards the Kuma with a puzzled look.
"Wapol is just an ordinary king, and his Munch-Munch Fruit is far from enough to make him a threat to me."
So, Mr. Xiong, why did you come up with the idea of solving his problem together with me?
"Because I understand better than anyone the harm a tyrant can do to a country!"
I don't like Wapol!
Kuma responded seriously to the laugh.
Upon hearing this, he smiled, pondered for a moment, and nodded slightly.
"Indeed!"
He said.
"Mr. Bear, you originally wanted to become an excellent and good king."
But because you don't know how to manage, your good intentions seem to have backfired, and you've ended up with the reputation of a tyrant.
Harboring resentment towards the term "tyrant," those real tyrants do indeed deserve your hatred in your eyes.
On the one hand, they discard what you cherish like trash.
On the other hand, how can they possibly be compared to you?
So, of course you can!
She smiled and nodded slightly.
"The king of the Drum Kingdom is just a minor problem; it doesn't matter who handles him. You're my friend and ally, so I'm leaving him to you."
"Thank you, Mr. Yixiao!"
After receiving a smiley answer, Kuma thanked him solemnly and then continued to gaze at the distant sea with a deep expression.
In his eyes, the outline of a small island gradually appeared; Drum Island was getting closer!
Beside the ship's railing, Vivi excitedly looked towards Drum Island, shouting as she hugged Uta.
"Look, isn't that a snow-capped mountain over there? It's so beautiful!"
In my entire life, I've only ever seen deserts, Gobi, and the sea; I've never seen a snow-capped mountain before!
"That bastard Wapol, has he really been living in such a beautiful environment all this time?"
"Ugh... Ahhh... Achoo!!!"
Uta sneezed loudly in Vivi's arms.
"Yes, the snow-capped mountains are truly beautiful, but the weather is getting colder and colder!"
As she said this, Uta exhaled softly, and a cloud of white mist instantly formed in front of her.
Gazing at the white mist before him, Uta sighed softly.
"I've already put on two sweaters, but it's still not enough."
Oh dear, do I really have to wear a down jacket? It looks so bulky!
"Yes, it's not only bulky, it's also very unattractive!"
Vivi wholeheartedly agreed with Uta; she was also only wearing a sweater, not one of those thick coats.
Then, a moment later...
"Ta-da! Shirahoshi, the Shirahoshi dumpling, makes her appearance!!!"
Wrapped up in all sorts of winter clothes and down jackets, with even its tail completely covered, Shirahoshi rolled out of the room.
She somehow managed to roll all the way to Uta and Vivi's side.
"Look, haha, these are the winter clothes the maids made for me overnight! They're so soft and comfortable, and they're so snugly wrapped up!!!"
As she spoke, Shirahoshi swayed her body in front of Uta and Vivi.
Upon seeing this, Vivi and Uta were both stunned for a moment, and then they immediately pointed at Shirahoshi and shouted.
"Oh my god, how scary! What a thick python!!!"
While complaining, Uta patted Shirahoshi's soft, bouncy thick coat with annoyance.
"Shirahoshi, are you sure these are the clothes the maids prepared for you?"
"Aren't these clothes the maids prepared for you?"
