Farming in Pirate World

"So fast?!"

Li Ming's heart trembled, but thinking about it carefully, it was almost time.

Rather, it's already very late.

According to the introduction in the comics, Blackbeard should have destroyed the country a few months before Luffy arrived.

Calculating now, at the speed of Luffy's Meili, it is only about a month's flight from here. Even if there is some delay due to a small garden on the way, and supplies are replenished on other islands passing by, the voyage will definitely be less than two days.

months.

If the plot in the comics is followed, Li Ming's medicinal plantations may have blossomed all over Dongdao.

"But, in general, Blackbeard is not too late."

"As long as Wapol uses the power of Blackbeard and abandons the country and flees like in the original plot, the plan can continue."

That's right, when Li Ming met Dalton this time, he didn't expect him to immediately agree to his conditions.

What he and Dalton discussed was actually only one sentence:

"Breaking with the king will allow the people to live a good life!"

This is the guarantee he made to Dalton, but Dalton is hesitant. After breaking with the king, how much price will the citizens of the Drum Country pay?

Breaking with the king is by no means an easy decision to make.

However, as long as a seed is planted in Dalton's heart, Dalton will immediately remember his words after seeing what will happen in the future.

"The current laws of Cigu Country are just a piece of waste paper."

"Only just laws will be respected."

"Does this country exist for the king or for the citizens?"

When he thinks through these issues clearly, Li Ming's plan will be successful.

As for whether Dalton would eventually choose to cooperate with him, Li Ming was not worried at all.

We have our own sales channels, the technology to scientifically grow medicinal materials, the capital for development, and the food that is in short supply in this country!

The only thing they have is the right geographical conditions and human resources accustomed to the climate here.

Unless they want to continue to be poor, cooperating with themselves is his best and only choice.

"How far is the target pirate ship from Winter Island?"

"According to their boat speed, it will take about half a day to reach Dongdao."

"Half a day?! So fast?"

Li Ming was a little surprised. You must know that he asked three murloc scouts to search along the route, using the murloc's ability to communicate with fish to expand the search range several times.

Even so, the other party actually only has half a day's flight left from Dongdao?!

"The target of the other party's pirate ship is very small, and the crew only has four or five people. It is really difficult to search..."

"Then withdraw immediately!"

Li Ming quickly told him:

"Never get too close to these pirates! After hanging up the phone bug, dive into the deep sea and swim back. Don't stay out of the water for too long."

"..."

"Hey! Can you hear me?"

There was a sound of crashing waves on the opposite side of the phone, and then a chaotic noise.

"Hahaha! There are actually fish-men here!"

"You can actually catch fishmen in such a remote place."

"Hey! Be careful not to kill him. This fishman might be sold for a good price."

"He's holding a phone bug in his hand! Is this someone else's slave?!"

Li Ming listened to the faint voice coming from the other side of the phone with a dark face, and the air pressure around him dropped a lot.

What he worried about most finally happened.

Not only was the existence of the fishman scout discovered, he was also easily captured by the opponent.

It was said that he had told the scouts countless times to keep a distance from the other party, but they were still discovered by the other party.

After all, he still underestimated the people of this world.

A person on the opposite side quickly discovered the existence of the phone bug, and was surprised to find that the phone bug was actually connected.

"Across the way, is this your fish-man slave?"

As long as the fishmen exist on land, most of them are slaves of some big nobles. This impression is deeply rooted in the hearts of many humans.

In this case, Li Ming would not specifically explain their relationship to the other party, so he just ignored the issue.

"black beard?"

"Hahahahaha, our reputation has already spread here!"

"Don't be stupid, the other party is obviously coming for you."

Blackbeard Teach roared excitedly, and Van Oka's voice immediately broke his illusion.

Van Oka was born in the East China Sea and currently serves as a sniper in the Blackbeard Pirates. He has superb skills in shooting accurately from thousands of miles away and can be said to be one of the top snipers in the world.

It was he who discovered the existence of the fishman scouts.

"The other party is obviously looking for traces of you. Are they the pursuers of the Whitebeard Pirates?!"

"No, with dad's temper, he won't let outsiders know about me!"

"So, is this the guide of fate..."

Van Oka wiped the barrel of the gun in his hand expressionlessly, obviously not interested in Li Ming's situation.

Since he is not the pursuer of the Whitebeard Pirates, there is nothing to pay attention to.

This is the confidence brought by absolute strength.

"Hahaha! Hey! Who are you!"

Van Oka was not interested in Li Ming, but Blackbeard was somewhat interested.

This can also be said to be a very good refreshment during a boring voyage.

When Blackbeard talked about himself, he did not avoid Li Ming's presence at all, so Li Ming heard their words clearly.

At the same time, he was under greater pressure.

"How are my fishmen doing?"

"The fish man? He shouldn't die for the time being."

"This fish-man was specially sent by you to monitor me?! It's such a good idea to let the fish-men act as scouts!"

"If I pass by Fishman Island in the future, maybe I can catch a few fishmen for fun."

"Okay, end of small talk, who are you?"

After the time of happy complaining passed, Blackbeard's voice became gloomy.

He is a ruthless character who has been able to endure a plan for more than twenty years. Now that he has successfully obtained the power of the Dark Fruit, the plan has been half successful. At this time, he will not allow the plan to go wrong in the slightest.

Although he didn't know who the person opposite the phone bug was, being able to own a slave of the fish-men clan meant that he was definitely not some passing ant and had the qualifications to be taken seriously by him.

Any component that might affect the plan deserves his attention.

"I'm just a businessman, not worth mentioning at all."

"You captured my man, I hope you can return him to me."

"Businessman?! Then follow the rules of a businessman."

"How much are you prepared to spend on this fish-human slave?"

"Although he is only a male fishman, he can probably be sold for tens of millions of beli."

"..."

Li Ming was silent for a while, thinking about various possibilities in his mind. Finally, after pondering for a while, he slowly gave the answer:

"I'll wait for you at your destination."

After hanging up the phone, Blackbeard laughed twice and kicked the fishman scout into the cabin.

"Has he not revealed his true identity?"

"He said he was a businessman, thief hahahaha."

Blackbeard certainly didn't believe Li Ming's words - ordinary businessmen would not have scouts from the fish-men tribe.

"In that case, let's meet."

...

After hanging up the phone, Li Ming looked gloomy and took Bartolomeo directly back to the Fishman.

It's just tens of millions of beli, Blackbeard doesn't care about these things.

What he cares about is Li Ming.

Blackbeard gave him no other option at all. If he wanted to save the fishman scout, he had to interview Blackbeard.

There was still half a day left, and he had to make preparations in advance.
