I have the Flame-Flame Fruit, I'm invincible!

She herself is incompetent, and with two children, she really shouldn't be trapped in Cocoyasi Village.

Besides, since we already owe them a favor, owing them a little more won't hurt.

Don't worry about having too much debt.

"I agreed,"

"Yay!" Nami and Nojiko exclaimed happily.

Dick stayed in Cocoyasi Village for a few more days. The light and delicate little girl was still very cute.

Facing them, Dick felt much younger.

No, I am very young.

Dick emphasized.

Indeed, how can one maintain a pure heart if one is constantly associated with insects like gnats and rats?

My mind is all over the place.

Dick was curious about Nami and Nojiko's potential.

For example, Nami the Ship King.

Does this woman, who can easily beat up the Pirate King and the strongest swordsman, actually possess the talent for Armament Haki?

And then there's Nojiko, this seemingly ordinary woman in the original work, what kind of potential does she have?

very funny.

"Ahhh, ahhh," the suggestive sounds are very easy to misunderstand.

At least, when Ah Jian first heard it, he almost grabbed a rifle and fought to the death.

Whether it was burning or groaning, he couldn't help but find it indecent.

However, when the effects of the Flame of Evolution and the Flame of Life appeared, A-Jian fell silent.

My values ​​are all jumbled up.

Not only him, but also Bellemere, a retired soldier who had served in the Navy, had some distorted values.

Amazing.

That's right, that's right...

Looking at Nami, Nojiko unconsciously hugged Dick.

Bellemere was angry.

That's outrageous.

Girls should respect and love themselves.

"But it feels so good!" Nami muttered.

If it were just about comfort, that would be one thing, but it really does improve her memory and thinking speed.

Nami was able to easily learn some difficult meteorological knowledge after being burned by Dick.

And physical fitness.

Nami felt that her strength had increased a lot in the past few days, but her muscles had not increased.

Nochiko nodded as well.

Compared to tangible benefits, a hug won't hurt you much.

Moreover, Dick is indeed quite good-looking.

Thinking about it, Nojiko couldn't help but glance at Dick.

I didn't realize it before, but now that I see it...

Yes, handsome, good-natured, capable, and of high status...

She is indeed a very good match.

“That won’t do either,” Bellemere said, hands on her hips.

"well."

"Understood," the two quickly replied.

“Mr. Dick, you’re very busy. If there’s nothing else, we won’t keep you any longer,” Bellemere said curtly.

This means they're trying to kick people out.

Bellemere felt embarrassed as well.

However, recalling the scene just now, Dick had transformed from an upright and enthusiastic young hero into a naive youth who did not understand the difference between men and women. If this continued, or if he knew Dick's evil thoughts, he might degenerate into a lecherous person with ill intentions.

"I really do have something to do."

In recent days, Dick has visited Cocosia Village more than once.

It is said that teaching a man to fish is worse than teaching him to fish.

Cocosia Village is extremely small, lacks any distinctive features, has a mediocre economy, and is located in a relatively remote area.

That's why Ah Long set his sights on this place.

Logically speaking, it would be impossible for Cocoyasi Village to develop rapidly through normal means.

Unless there's a cheat code.

Coincidentally, Dick does have a cheat code.

Using the Flame of Evolution, cultivate several mutated orange trees.

Its main advantages are its delicious taste, easy survival, and ease of large-scale promotion.

Then, Cocosia Village can develop a fruit industry centered around oranges.

In addition, selling only oranges doesn't yield high profit margins, so we can increase added value.

"Hey, they're here." Dick looked into the distance.

Toot toot toot, a huge cargo ship is arriving.

Kore arrived with many people and supplies, demarcated the area, and prepared to discuss with the village chief the construction of a factory, establishing a series of food processing plants centered around oranges.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 49 Congratulations, you got it right! The pig thought the same thing.

“That’s right, Nojigao, that’s Mr. Corey. You can learn business from him.”

“Yes,” Nochiko nodded excitedly.

In addition, Dick also had someone bring him a large number of nautical charts and nautical knowledge.

"I love you so much!" Nami shouted.

I can't wait to go read the book.

“Oh right, what did you say before?” Dick finally turned around.

Bellemere's face turned red, and she could no longer utter the words to send him away.

Even someone with no economic sense would know what Dick's actions meant for Cocoyasi Village.

“I… I mean you can stay a few more days,” Bellemere stammered.

There was a little incident, in particular.

That is, Nami is bothered by the fact that she often wears Nojiko's old clothes.

She felt that Bellemere liked Nojiko more than herself.

“You’re wrong, Nami.” Dick denied it outright, his face devoid of its usual gentleness, only sternness.

“Nami, you’re only thinking about not having new clothes, but have you noticed that Bellemere’s clothes are also old, and not only old, but also patched?”

Nami's face turned pale.

"One more thing, think back to when you eat. Does she always give you all the good food and only eat the scraps herself? Is there any difference in how you two eat?"

Nami clenched her teeth tightly.

“I believe that Bellemere’s love for you is no less than that for Noki. I can also feel that she loves you all more than her own life. When I saved her, all she cared about was you. The reason she made you wear old clothes was because she was too poor.”

Before she knew it, Nami's eyes filled with tears. Extremely sensitive to money, she could easily deduce the answer with just a little imagination.

Daily expenses alone nearly depleted Bellemere's entire income.

“Now, Nami,” Dick said, patting Nami’s head and gently wiping away her tears.

"Wipe away your tears and go apologize to Bellemere."

"Okay, I understand." Nami wiped her nose, her smile returning. She quickly went to find Bellemere and Nojiko.

Beilmere, hiding in the back, was already in tears.

When she looked at Dick again, her eyes were full of gratitude.
