Farming in Pirate World

"Tuntun fruit... let's forget it."

After thinking for a long time, Li Ming finally shook his head.

The ability to swallow fruit has a very low threshold and does not require a strong body. It can even help the host strengthen its own body. It can be said that it is very suitable for Li Ming.

But relying solely on the ability to swallow fruits, the level that Li Ming can rise to is still limited, and it is very difficult to reach the top level in the pirate world.

Not to mention the top level, even Bartolomeo's current level is quite difficult for Li Ming.

The power of Devil Fruit is really useless to him.

It’s better not to think about it.

...

In the next few days, Li Ming once again fell into a long and boring voyage.

But this time he didn't even play cards. He focused on instructing Bartolomeo and Will on their training every day. He occasionally made phone calls, remotely controlled the operation of the Li Ming Chamber of Commerce, or played one after another on Cocosia Island.

I will hold a telephone lecture to educate the farmers on Cocosia Island about the necessity of scientific planting.

Not idle anyway.

During this period, Li Ming took two more medicated baths with the little blue pills. The first time there was a significant increase, but the second time there was almost no effect.

Li Ming simply gave up and left all the precious medicinal powder to Will and Ba Tuo.

A total of three medicinal baths added more than 100 kilograms of strength to Li Ming. This may be Li Ming's limit.

Now, with Li Ming's physical fitness, even without the blessing of Wang Zhili, the strength of one arm exceeds 200 kilograms, and there is no problem in killing a British strongman with one punch.

But in the world of pirates, this power is at the level of a dock porter.

Coupled with Wang Zhili's passive blessing, Li Mingcai barely had some combat power, and was not to the point where he would be knocked down by the wind.

Li Ming had given up his practice and focused on training Bator and Will.

It was just a normal level of training, and there was absolutely no intention to increase the amount of training out of jealousy.

Since Bartolomeo received Li Ming's guidance, it seemed as if some strange switch had been turned on, and all kinds of weird ideas emerged one after another.

He seemed to treat his barrier fruit ability as a piece of raw material, constantly processing and transforming it. In the end, he completely gave up even the basic "barrier" function and focused on creating more perfect artifacts.

Just to give a simple example, Li Ming once pointed out how to change his "barrier armor", and he developed the "barrier clone" based on this.

It means changing the barrier into a human form, while you hide in the dark and control it.

Later, he suddenly realized why he was obsessed with the "human image"? There could be more ways to create barrier clones!

After understanding this, King Kong, Ultraman, Godzilla, Smurfs, tentacle monsters...ahem.

In short, under the imagination of Li Ming and Bartolomeo, various "clones" emerge in endlessly, and their abilities are unpredictable.

Will's training has also made progress. Although it is not as outstanding as Bartolomeo's change, his control over the Devil Fruit ability has improved by more than one level. From time to time, he can also use the ability to speed up the fish-man and avoid Neptune-like creatures.

attack.

When you really can't escape, let Bartolomeo and Will cooperate, Will provide the power, Bartolomeo adds armor to the ship, directly drive the Murloc and the Sea King class, and it does work.

Several small Neptune species arrived.

In this way, the voyage continued for nearly a month, and Li Ming and others finally arrived at the next stop after leaving Winter Island - Alabasta.

When the navigator reported the location, Li Ming almost didn't react, but then he remembered that this was Princess Weiwei's country.

At that time, in order to ensure the rhythm of the plot, he sent Weiwei back to Luffy's ship. As a result, on Winter Island, Li Ming had to remodel Winter Island beyond recognition, and the plot basically ceased to exist.

This is already the middle section of the Grand Line.

In the original book, it took Luffy about a year to cross the entire Grand Line, but it only took Li Ming two months to complete the halfway point.

Although it is because of the permanent pointer guidance and the direct route, even so, this speed is definitely fast.

Looking at the land of Alabasta from a distance, Li Mingcai finally intuitively felt the desolation here.

Li Ming's profession is extremely sensitive to the land. Just by looking at it from a distance, he understood the difficulties this country was facing.

Land desertification is serious.

Just this one problem is enough to destroy a country.

The drought problem cannot be changed, and the land lacks enough moisture, causing the land here to be infinitely close to "death".

If the land dies, the people will have no place to stand.

The experienced navigator took out the map of Alabasta prepared in advance from the corner, found a nearby city close to the water source, and slowly docked at the port.

Because this city was built near a river, it is one of the most developed cities in the surrounding area. As soon as the Fishman docked, enthusiastic people gathered around and asked if they needed anything.

Li Ming suddenly felt as if he had just gotten off the train.

He felt the vitality of the country.

Li Ming did not refuse their kindness, and casually pointed out a guide who was more pleasing to the eye, and prepared to wander around Alabasta.

The Murloc spent two days undergoing repairs in Alabasta. The entire crew, except for the sailors who took turns on duty, was given a day off, but they were only allowed to move within the city limits and were not allowed to cause trouble.

In short, while resting, you must highlight the word stability.

I don't know what Bartolomeo has been busy with recently. As soon as the training is over, he will immediately take the little brother back to the room to tinker with something without letting Li Ming see it, saying that he wants to give him a surprise.

After getting off the boat, he quietly left with a younger brother. His expression looked a bit mysterious, but Li Ming didn't care about him.

Will also ran away quickly, maybe he saw something that interested him.

He is not a child and there is no need to control him all the time.

"Guest, this is your first time coming to Alabasta. Do you want me to take you to some interesting places to visit? I guarantee that they are of good quality and cheap, and that they are all good things to do. It will also allow you to experience the scenery of Alabasta up close.

....."

The guide rubbed his hands quietly, with a look in his eyes that every man could understand.

"Not only is it close, maybe it's also close..."

Li Ming squinted his eyes and quickly understood what he meant. He struggled internally, but finally rejected his proposal.

The reason for rejection was not because Li Ming was too pure, but because he couldn't accept it.

As a veteran who has read countless films, he has not eaten "meat" for more than a year since he came to the pirate world.

Mainly because I'm afraid of getting sick.

However, even though he didn't let the guide lead him to that place, he still stuffed a medium-sized banknote into the guide's palm.

"There's no need to feel it up close. You'd better tell me what fun things you have here."
