Pirate: My Piltover technology is far ahead!

Chapter 94 The First Pink-Haired Party in History

"The Grand Line. Are we going there in the future?"

"That's right. Although the four seas are peaceful, the gap between them and the Grand Line is too great. This position is just right. How about it? Shall we work together as we agreed back then?"

Bear, your efforts are just a drop in the ocean.

You know why those elderly people have to work. If you can't address the root causes, no matter how hard you try, you won't change the situation.

There's no need to elaborate on Kuma's strength; whether it's his physical attributes or the power of his Paw-Paw Fruit, he's a unique individual on the high seas.

As for his identity, there's not much of a problem. In the original timeline, he met Satan in God Valley and even had a conversation with him. After that, he joined the Revolutionary Army and still didn't face any large-scale pursuit.

If it weren't for Satan overhearing crucial information at Vegapunk's research facility while he was taking Bonney to seek medical treatment, the World Government would never have paid any attention to him.

Now, the traces on God Valley have been erased even more thoroughly. In fact, because of Oran's appearance, Kuma has never encountered Satan on God Valley. As long as he doesn't go to the World Government's exclusive agency for blood testing, there's no problem.

As for Devil Fruit abilities, those things were basically stolen by pirates back then, and after changing hands many times, they are not very useful for reference. If you really want to know, Kaido is already quite famous on the high seas.

Having eaten the Fish-Fish Fruit, he was much more conspicuous than those around him.

As for Ginny, sending her to the front lines would be a waste of talent. In the god-like environment of God Valley, Ginny was able to steal information about the Celestial Dragons using her handmade DIY equipment and even spread that information.

This ability makes him a genius in the intelligence department, and it should be used to gather intelligence. Sending such a person to lead a team to the front line, as in the original timeline, is like deep-frying a fresh grouper that has just been taken out of the water—a complete waste.

"Of course I'm fine, what about you, Bear Cub?"

"Yes, I'm ready too. Little Ivan will leave first, followed by Brother Oran. Everyone has their own way of pursuing their ideals. I don't want to keep hiding here, but I'm a little worried about the people here. If we leave..."

"Don't worry, population is also an important part of development. Didn't I tell you to keep in touch with the workers in those factories? You did that, didn't you?"

Moving, as the name suggests, means moving your entire home. If possible, moving with your house is a great option, and Oran now has that capability.

"Ginny is doing a great job. Many young people from other places are willing to confess their feelings to her. She is the most attractive sight in the factory."

Snapped!

Ginny suddenly slashed her chopsticks at the bear's paw. Oran returned just in time for dinner, so they ate and talked.

What Xiong just said made Ginny very unhappy.

"What's wrong, Ginny?"

"Nothing, I just suddenly really wanted to hit you."

It's a fact that many people confess their feelings, but confessing isn't a battle cry, it's the final act. This step should only be taken when the feelings are truly there.

If you confess your feelings on the first meeting and persist even after being rejected the first time, it might be seen as one-sided harassment.

Ginny was furious because she wanted to see Xiong confess his love to her, not some random guy.

Unfortunately, Xiong was quite oblivious in this regard, or rather, he actively avoided it.

"I am of Bakania blood. They, mother and child, are innocent. Please spare them!"

Xiong still finds it hard to let go of his father's words, so he is somewhat afraid of these things, fearing that the tragedy will repeat itself.

"It seems you've had a good relationship over the years. Anyway, go tell those workers tomorrow that those who are willing to leave with us for the new factory will have their wages doubled and will be provided with housing."

Those who don't want to leave, let them go.

"Orlan, are you moving the factory with you?"

"No, we're just taking some workers with us."

Unlike the laboratory that Feld built for him, which was filled with sophisticated equipment, the factory here didn't even have any advanced lathes and wasn't worth moving.

Besides, this was originally built by the Kingdom of Sorbe, so taking it all away is a bit excessive.

"That's great. Beccori made some really outrageous demands. Now his dreams are all for naught."

Upon hearing Oran's plan, Ginny burst out laughing. Oran's intention to leave was practically tantamount to flipping the table.

However, this was Oran's original idea: the Kingdom of Sorbe was building permanent facilities, and he was using this opportunity to train skilled workers.

Afterwards, the chicken was left to the Kingdom of Sorbe. If they were truly determined, they wouldn't have lost, since the chicken itself hadn't caused any problems.

If things go wrong here, then it has nothing to do with Oran.

"Bai Keli? Who's that?"

"It's the new king of the Kingdom of Sorbe. He's made some rather outrageous demands. I wanted to call you about this before, but I couldn't get through."

"Oh, well, there was actually a bit of an accident."

Oran pulled out a Den Den Mushi, but the Den Den Mushi looked sickly, its body turning an eerie blue.

"What's wrong with it?"

"It's been like this for a few days now, probably because it's afraid of heights. It's recovered quite well recently. A few days ago, I thought it was going to die."

Den Den Mushi can function like a telephone, but the problem is that it's a living thing.

Whether a phone call is clear depends on the condition of the base station, while the clarity of a Den Den Mushi (snail phone) depends on the snail's vitality.

Den Den Mushi were originally a special type of snail found in the ocean. Later, some people discovered the unique characteristics of these snails and began to equip them with special devices for long-distance communication.

The most common habit of this snail is to lie flat.

Since they don't have to worry about food and clothing when they are kept by humans, they are happy to be captured and modified by humans.

However, the biological instincts have not disappeared. For example, if the irritating smoke gets into the eyes, the monitoring Den Den Mushi will lose its image. If the Den Den Mushi feels scared and retreats into its snail shell, it will also lose its communication function.

Oran's Den Den Mushi fainted the moment Oran took off. After all, there are individual differences among living beings, and perhaps Oran's Den Den Mushi never thought that one day it would be able to fly again.

"That's really unexpected. I've bred quite a few Den Den Mushi lately, I'll get you a new one later."

Ginny had no idea that the reason she couldn't get through on the phone was because the Den Den Mushi (a type of electric scooter) had fainted from fear of heights. As she spoke, she reached for the food on the table, but ended up grabbing nothing.

The table, which was just full of food, is now only covered with crumbs.

"Where are the pizzas?? I remember there were five left!"

"Dad said you have to concentrate when you eat, Ginny, you'll miss a lot of things if you do that."

Riley, standing to the side, picked up a tissue and wiped her mouth. In the past two years, she had learned one thing – table manners. Now, Riliana could enjoy her meal with elegance.

The effect of doing this is to conceal, whereas in the past, because the movements were too large, they would often attract attention from the very beginning.

Now, Leliana can wield chopsticks or cutlery in a blur, but her upper body remains mostly still, allowing her to finish a meal without anyone noticing.

While Ginny and Oran were talking, Leliana was quietly eating and finished all the remaining food before Ginny, the big eater, could.

"You have such a good appetite."

"Yeah, this is the first time I've ever seen someone who can eat even more than Ginny."

At the same time, Blitz returned from outside, carrying two grilled fish that were each five meters long.

"Okay, we've finished the snacks, now it's time for our main meal."

Ginny's lips twitched twice. She seemed to feel that her status as the glutton had been shaken, and, unwilling to admit defeat, she started a competition with Leriana.

However, she ultimately suffered a regrettable defeat, collapsing onto the chair with her round belly.

"It's great, it's been so long since this place has been this lively."

Xiong sat to the side, chin in hand, watching the scene at the dining table. He was so easily satisfied; as long as he saw the people he cared about happy, that was enough for him.

However, a coincidence occurred at the dinner table: Oran, Leriana, Ginny, and Frankenstein were the four people whose body types were closest to humans, and all four of them had pink hair.

The remaining figures are increasingly supermodel-like. Kate has obvious furry features, and the bear is already over five meters tall. Although Leriana is also a supermodel, she is relatively normal in comparison.

"By the way, Dad, let's take a new picture. Aren't they your old friends?"

"That's true, let's take a picture then. Zack, the photo-taking is up to you."

At Leliana's suggestion, Zach acted as a selfie stick, using his extended body to adjust the camera angle and ensure he was also in the shot.

The following day, Ginny began contacting the workers on the island to find out their thoughts.

Many people are unwilling to leave this place. The Kingdom of Sorbe is a member state, and the current environment is relatively stable. They have adapted to this environment.

Some locals are simply nostalgic and don't want to leave the island where they've lived for half their lives.

Similarly, many people are willing to leave with the lure of money, especially those who moved here from the outer islands. They originally came here to pursue a better living environment and better living conditions, so it's not unreasonable to take another chance.

During this time, Beccori waited for news in the palace. He originally thought that Ginny and Bear would compromise soon, but unexpectedly, he received news that a group of people were planning to move away.

"No! We can't let them leave! These are all the property of the Kingdom of Sorbe! Guards! Assemble! Stop them!!"

Becley immediately ordered the guards to assemble, intending to stop Oran and his group, and picked up a Den Den Mushi to contact the others.
