Farming in Pirate World

In two days, Li Ming and his party just rested here.

After resting in the city for a night and enjoying Alabasta's special food, the fatigue accumulated during the voyage seemed to disappear in an instant.

During the voyage, even if you just stay on the boat doing nothing, invisible mental stress will accumulate in the human body.

This is a symptom that can only be alleviated by having both feet on real ground.

However, happy time is always limited.

When Li Ming was enjoying the delicious food at noon, he vaguely heard someone talking about the arrival of the sand crocodile, and he knew he should leave.

Alabasta was Luffy's show, and Li Ming had no interest or ability to participate, so he chose to run away with great self-knowledge.

Although he has participated in many things so far, he is just a businessman doing business, and all he needs to do is to avoid the pirates and do business quietly.

Have you ever seen that businessman get close to pirates?

Avoid pirates, make money safely, have the ability to protect yourself, and protect yourself and your employees safely. This is what Li Ming needs to do.

And now, as the King's Shichibukai, Sand Crocodile, who has the legal right to plunder, is about to approach this town. How can Li Ming continue to stay here.

"We can only go to sea in advance."

There was still some distance before the agreed sailing time, but Li Ming no longer wanted to wait.

At the moment, Li Mingxian found Will, who had returned to the Murloc in advance, and immediately assigned him a task, which required him to retrieve all the crew members within an hour.

It is not difficult to retrieve these crew members. The only places these people can go are pubs or casinos, so it is not troublesome to find them.

Some sailors were still bragging unscrupulously in the tavern, but they were caught by Li Ming on the spot and taken directly back to the Murloc.

"Where's Bartolomeo!"

In an hour, Li Ming finally found all the crew members scattered in the city, but found that an important task was missing.

"I saw him just now, why did he disappear again?!"

"Mr. Bartow said he didn't get something important and took Bernie to the city."

Li Ming raised his eyebrows, Bernie was just the little brother who lived in the same room with Bartolomeo all day long, and he didn't know what he was tinkering with in the room all day long.

"Then just wait. As soon as Bartolomeo arrives, we will go to sea immediately!"

Bartolomeo is not the kind of character who loses control at critical moments. He may have really left something important behind, so he hurried back.

It wouldn't be a big deal to wait for him for another half hour.

"Master Li Ming, why are you leaving in such a hurry?"

"The sand crocodiles from the Shichibukai are coming soon. There may be some chaos here in the next two days."

"Sand Crocodile?! Is this the Shichibukai of Princess Weiwei's country?!"

"However, even so, there is no need for us to leave in such a hurry. They probably don't recognize our faces."

The two animal agents responsible for delivering the news in Baroque Studio had a barbecue and were divided among the crew. Princess Weiwei was also successfully passed over to Luffy by Li Ming. There was really no need for them to escape.

"I just have some mental barriers towards these people and don't want to meet them."

The Sand Crocodile may not pay attention to a small person like himself, but there is a Ms. Sunday beside him, that is, Robin, the son of the devil, who recognizes his face, which may cause some trouble.

If you can avoid it, it's better to avoid it.

Will didn't ask any more questions.

In less than half an hour, Bartolomeo drove the "barrier sports car" in a high-profile manner, racing through the town with a long tail of smoke.

The ability of the barrier fruit is developing in a strange direction.

The sports car passed through the street and made a handsome drift near the port. The car logo transformed from the dawn flag flickered in the dust.

Li Ming's face darkened, feeling like a villain leader who allowed his dandy men to race in the downtown area.

"Use this kind of move less often in the future!"

The sports car disappeared, and Bartolomeo appeared in front of Li Ming with a delicate book in his arms.

"Book? Are you going to get this thing?"

Bartolomeo looked excited, holding the book in his arms as if holding his lofty beliefs.

"Are you still reading?"

Li Ming was a little confused. In his impression, Bartolomeo seemed illiterate.

Not only Bartolomeo, but among all Bartol's men, not many of them knew how to read.

"This is not a book I read, this is a book I wrote!"

"Um?!"

Li Ming was stunned and didn't realize what was going on, but he saw Bartolomeo hand the book to Li Ming as if he was offering a treasure.

"You? Write a book?"

Li Ming looked at the book in his hand, looking at the thick book in his hand with a puzzled expression, a little unbelievable.

"Yes! This is the book that I spent more than two months writing! It is definitely an epic creation, the gospel of the new world!"

??

Bartolomeo was talking nonsense, and Li Ming couldn't understand it, but since the book was in his hand, he opened it and took a look.

After a brief moment of surprise, Li Ming reacted quickly.

It turns out that during the past two months, he has been writing a book mysteriously... which is always a good thing.

"Writing a book can be regarded as a good thing to cultivate one's sentiments. It can also be cultivated as a hobby."

"Since Bartolomeo is interested, it's okay to encourage him."

Thinking this, Li Ming curiously glanced at the book in his hand.

Although I don’t have high hopes for the content in the book, I have to say that the production of this book is still great.

High-grade animal skin cover, tight waterproof structure, and high-quality white paper.

This kind of white paper is definitely not cheap in the pirate world.

"It took more than a day to produce such a beautiful book. It must have cost a lot of money."

"It's okay, it's just two months' salary, I can still afford it."

Two months' salary...that's a lot of money.

You know, Bartolomeo is a senior executive, and the salary Li Ming offers him is definitely not low, at least not less than what he earned when he was a gangster.

However, the interest is understandable.

Li Ming looked at Bartolomeo in a different light.

Slowly uncovering the expensive animal skin cover, Li Ming opened the title page of the book, and the name of the book came into view...

"Book of Dawn...what the hell is this?!"

A trace of black line appeared on Li Ming's forehead, and he looked up at Bartolomeo.

Bartolomeo still looked excited and motioned for him to continue reading quickly.

Forget it, encouraging employees to develop the right interests and hobbies is what he must do as a boss.

"Let's take a look first. Maybe it's not what you think..."

Li Ming sighed, opened the prologue of the book, and then his face darkened.

"The gospel of the world is about to come, the darkness is about to pass, and the dawn is just around the corner."

"The lonely traveler, the truth walking in the world, the lofty ideals and beliefs..."

After just reading two sentences, Li Ming felt like he was being poisoned...

Calm down! Calm down!

Maybe this is because his writing style is more middle-grade... Maybe he writes middle-grade adventure novels...

Looking at Bartolomeo's expectant eyes, he clearly wanted to get Li Ming's approval. Although it was a bit difficult to accept, he still comforted himself:

“Encourage, you must encourage employees’ positive interests and hobbies.”

Li Ming took a deep breath and continued reading.

I read the prologue while holding back my nausea. The words of encouragement were stuck in my mouth, but Li Ming couldn't say them out.

Moreover, this book... has an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.

"This book...has great potential."

After receiving Li Ming's affirmative answer, Bartolomeo's face instantly turned red with excitement, and his heart couldn't be more excited:

"As expected!"

"This book took me two months to collect all kinds of information before I compiled Master Li Ming's deeds into a book."

"I want to spread the glory of Lord Li Ming to the whole world through this book..."

"Etc., etc!"

Hearing Bartolomeo's cheers, Li Ming suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"You said...this is my deeds compiled into a book..."

"?"

Bartolomeo nodded, and then quickly shared his joy at being recognized by Lord Li Ming with his subordinates.

Li Ming looked at the book in his hand and fell into deep thought.

Resisting the discomfort, Li Ming opened the first chapter of the book again...

The protagonist is rescued from the sea by a fisherman, and then considers the truth of salvation on a deserted island...

Chapter two......

Half a year later, facing the pirates, he finally realized...

Third... Erase, don’t read any more, this thing is written about you!

Even Air Island and Cocosia Island have appeared, who else could it be!

But although the names of the characters and the location of the island match, the content written inside is completely different.

"The dawn that dispels darkness, the truth that walks in the world, the incarnation of God, faith in the dawn can lead to peace and stability..."

Those who knew it thought it was written by Li Ming; those who didn’t know it thought it was a Bible spreading cults!

Is this Bartolomeo poisonous? He spent two months tinkering with these damn things?!

"Will, are you involved in this?"

Li Ming held the book in his hand and motioned to Will, who was snickering on the side, to explain to him.

On this ship, Will is the only one who knows about Air Island.

"Brother Lomio asked me these things. I thought there was nothing to hide from him, so I told him casually... But I definitely didn't know what brother wanted to do!"

Li Ming glared at him fiercely, indicating that he would deal with him later, then called Bartolomeo over and confronted him fiercely.

"You write this...forget it, go ahead and do what you have to do."

Seeing that Bartolomeo's face was still full of excitement and excitement like a child, Li Ming suddenly no longer felt like scolding him.

"Do you still have this kind of book?!"

"No, this book is a unique treasure. It is a gift specially given to Mr. Li Ming!"

"Okay, then you can go and play."

Li Ming waved his hand to signal him to leave quickly. Now that he saw Bartolomeo's face, he felt embarrassed.

Bartolomeo left, and Li Ming opened the book again. The lines of text in the book were like sharp arrows, piercing Li Ming's heart one by one.

What a shame!

Is this a public execution?!

Finally, Li Ming couldn't bear it anymore, closed the book, and threw the book into the sea without Bartolomeo's attention.

Li Ming also thought about putting the book in the innermost part of the box, where no one could see it, but after thinking about it, he wanted to handle it more safely.

If you marry a wife later and are found to have this kind of thing, wouldn’t that mean you get divorced on the spot?

It is safer to "destroy the corpses and eliminate traces".

This book was written for fun by ignorant children, and Bartolomeo himself forgot about it after a while.

This shameful product of chuunibyou is better to be out of sight and out of mind, just drop it as much as you like.
