Chapter 323 Ginny's Obsession, Solvay's Tree of Life

Early November, 1495 (Haiyuan Calendar).

South China Sea, Solvi Kingdom

The Yamata no Orochi poked its head out from the clouds, and after confirming that it had come to the right place, it transformed into human form and fell to the land.

Two weeks ago, after causing a scene at Impel Down in an attempt to save Morgans.

Instead of returning to Wano Country immediately, Bazel rushed towards his old home in the South Blue at top speed.

At the southern church, Nelly, who was resting in the shade outside, stepped out from under the parasol and looked up curiously.

"Little Bazel? Why is he back?"

"What's wrong, Nelly?"

Ginny's curious question came from inside the church.

Since the bear left the kingdom, the church has become increasingly deserted.

Without the bear's help, and due to old age and declining health, the old people gradually stopped coming to this remote place.

"It's Bazel back. Strange, why would he come back at this time?"

Just as Ginny emerged from the church wearing an apron, Bazel landed.

A black substance detached from its body and quickly transformed into a moo-like shape.

"Sigh~"

"Go rest over there, and don't attack the people here indiscriminately."

Regardless of whether Moo Moo understood or not, Bazel stepped forward and gently hugged his mother.

"Why are you back at this time? Is something the matter?"

Bazel smiled and nodded, first greeting Ginny before speaking.

"I was a little worried when Xiong mentioned that you planned to have giant children live with human children."

"So I came back home to visit while I was out."

"That matter... well, it's not going to happen that quickly."

Nelly pulled Bazel into the church, and after asking Ginny to make tea, she began to explain.

"The public still has some fear of giants; they worry that giants will destroy the hard-won peace."

"However, I have already hired some older giant carpenters to help with the work, as long as those giants can remain sane."

"I believe that in a few years, the people here will be able to adapt to the presence of giants."

Hearing his mother's words, Bazel sighed inwardly.

She truly is my mother; her thoughts are almost identical to mine.

To put it bluntly, this method is essentially species invasion.

The sudden appearance of a race different from humans can indeed cause panic, but it can be mitigated if handled properly.

In just a few years, humanity will be able to quickly adapt to the existence of giants.

It's not even impossible to become friends with some giants.

"Tea's here!"

Bazel accepted the teacup and thanked him.

"There's no rush. You can do it your way."

"There's still plenty of time in the Solvi Kingdom; it's not like Wano Country."

After taking a sip of his tea, Bazel smiled and said, "At most six months, as long as they can see the benefits of the giants, most of the people will accept their existence."

"As for the small group that doesn't accept it, we don't need to worry about them."

"The Kingdom of Solvi still has a lot of land that needs to be developed. Those who recognize the giants will naturally be able to live in the new urban areas created by the giants."

Nelly tucked her bangs behind her ear, her face beaming with a smile almost as wide as Bazel's.

"That's right, that's what I think too."

"Anyway, the Kingdom of Solvi is about to start a major construction project, so we can just live separately then."

"But population is a big problem, Bazel-chan~"

Upon hearing this address, Bazel knew what kind of trouble his mother was up to now.

"What idea have you come up with this time—?"

"I want to encourage childbirth, but I'm having a bit of a headache about how to start."

Bazel put down his teacup and sighed deeply.

"How else could we begin? Besides the Bailey reward, do you think there are any other rewards?"

"Families with two children can receive a certain amount of Bailey's subsidy each month, while families with three children receive double the amount for families with two children."

Nelly smiled and extended her hand.

"Your mom's broke right now, but you're rich, right? Help your mom out a little!"

Bazel's lips twitched as he handed over his wallet.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I personally don't have the habit of carrying money with me when I go out."

"Besides, the money I earn is all in Beli that I can't send to the Kingdom of Solvi. I can't expose the location of the Kingdom of Solvi just because of some Beli."

"Hmm~ No way, there are things even little Bazel-chan can't do."

Nelly sighed again, turned around, and made a gesture as if wiping away tears.

"Sure enough, I'm such an incompetent mother."

"If I had money, little Bazel wouldn't have to work so hard to earn it."

Seeing his mother start sighing, Bazel, feeling quite troubled, said helplessly, "Alright, alright, I'll figure something out!"

"Mom, stop nagging! I'll think of a way to make the Kingdom of Solvi rich as soon as possible!"

Nelly broke down in an instant, turned around, and patted Bazel on the shoulder with a grin.

"That's more like it! Mom's helping you govern the kingdom, you can't slack off!"

Bazel's lips opened and closed several times, finally turning into a sigh.

"I can't do anything about you. I'll get my men to start doing business in the South China Sea as soon as possible, and then I'll have them help the Kingdom of Solvi out."

Bazel doesn't have many ideas about the future transformation of the Kingdom of Solvi.

The Beasts Pirates currently only have two businesses.

First, there's the business of sea stone in Wano Country, a business that can't be revealed to outsiders.

The second is the sale of the Heavenly Car.

Unlike the seastone business, the Heavenly Chariot earned only about five percent of the bailey from the seastone business.

Because it relies on scarcity marketing, this industry certainly cannot earn more money than the sea stone business in the short term.

But precisely because of this, the sale of the Celestial Chariot is best suited to the situation of the Kingdom of Solvi.

All that's needed is to move Solvay's island to a location near a mineral vein and then convert part of the land into workshops and factories.

This place will soon become the South China Sea commercial center where Tian Shenche (a car brand) produces and sells its own products.

The only thing to be careful about is safety.

Previously, the World Government might not have cared about the origins of the Celestial Chariot.

Once the core enterprise of the Tian Shenche (a type of car) appears in the South China Sea, it will definitely attract the greed of the Tianlong people.

Those stupid, shit-bubbly guys definitely won't let this place go, and the other members of the Beast Pirates might notice something once they see the Heavenly Chariot being sold in the South Blue.

This was something that could be done, but Bazel knew that it needed to be planned carefully and even some groundwork laid.

Seeing Bazel deep in thought, Nelly's eyes lit up.

"Hey, Bazel-chan~"

He pulled Ginny over and pressed her down in front of Bazel.

Bazel, whose train of thought had been interrupted, looked at Ginny, who was equally bewildered, with a puzzled expression.

"Ginny, what's wrong with her?"

"Have you forgotten that she's a Devil Fruit user?"

Nelly raised her head, her expression proud.

"Ginny is a very powerful fighter now!"

"With her there, there won't be any problems!"

Ginny hurriedly waved her hands: "Sister Nelly, I... I'm still far from good enough."

Devil Fruit?

When Nelly mentioned Ginny, Bazel suddenly realized what was going on.

No wonder Mother was in such a hurry to give birth; it seems Ginny has made great progress in cultivating the fruit.

"Shall we show it to you?"

"To demonstrate something—"

Ginny scratched her head and pointed to the ground beneath her feet.

"Actually, I have already used the power of the Forest Fruit to grow a super tree, but it is still a sapling right now."

The three of them walked out of the church and came to the back door. Ginny pointed to the small sapling that was emitting a green glow.

"Shortly after you and the bear cub left, I began trying to cultivate a World Tree."

"It took a long time to get this done, but its vitality is incredibly strong!"

Bazel stared blankly at the sapling, which was not even as tall as his thigh.

Indeed, as Ginny said, this sapling was so resilient that—

It was to a degree that even he found outrageous.

It's like a collection of the essence of thousands of trees.

and--

Bazel crouched down, placed his fingers on the ground, and unleashed his Observation Haki.

really!

The roots of this sapling have already covered the entire island!

In other words, if this tree can grow successfully, even if it can't become as huge as Elbaf, it should be at least a second-best size.

The snake spirit slipped from the sleeve and coiled around the sapling's body.

After a few breaths, the snake spirit glared at Bazargan.

"I failed! My abilities failed?!"

Bazel, incredulous and defiant, used the power of Orochi's Shadow again, attempting to activate Green Bull.

But the serpent spirit still couldn't burrow into the sapling's body.

It was as if there was already life inside.

life--

With his eyes wide open and mouth agape, Bazel stared at Ginny with a look of shock on his face.

"How did you do that? My serpent spirit can activate the elements of any unclaimed life."

"But it couldn't get inside the tree, which means the tree had its own soul and will!"

Ginny scratched her head and chuckled, "I don't know either. I just came over every day after the sapling sprouted to use my powers to loosen the soil and absorb some nutrients from other places for it."

"It's only grown this little bit in several months. I was wondering if it was because it wasn't getting enough nutrition."

Bazel threw the serpent spirit at a tree not far away.

When the green bull bellowed, Bazel realized it wasn't his fault.

"Oh, by the way, I call her Bonnie!"

Ginny put her hands on her hips and proudly introduced the tree's name.

"This is the name I've prepared for my future child. Isn't it beautiful?"

Bonnie?

Bazel looked at Ginny, squinting at her, and asked, "So, what will you name your future child with Xiong?"

"Of course, Bonnie! Choosing a name is such a hassle, we can just add Bartholomew's last name later!"

Ginny was perfectly justified.

Bazel shook his head; he was thinking about something.

It's an utterly absurd thing.

if----

If this tree, like in the novel, grows up, blossoms, and bears fruit.

A flower fairy popped out of the huge fruit, and the little fellow introduced herself as Bartholomew Bonney.

Bazel was very curious about how Ginny would explain herself to the bear.

Is this your baby?

Solvay's World Tree has a new surrogacy feature?

Shake your head and throw those unrealistic ideas aside.

Control the green bull to approach the sapling, and then use the dream entry skill to read the green bull's memories.

"----strangeness."

Bazel crouched down and gently stroked the green leaves.

When the green glow landed in his palm, Bazel felt his skin, now tinged with the glow, become more vibrant.

But this vitality did not last.

It disappeared after a few seconds.

Vitality, or vitality?

Barzel couldn't be sure of his guess, after all, the tree was still in its juvenile stage.

Judging from the memories Green Bull obtained, this tree does indeed possess its own consciousness and intelligence.

It's still in its infancy, and as a newborn, it's curious about everything.

From his memory, Bazel saw the kingdom, the tigers and wolves fighting in the wild, and the waves surging near the sea.

I saw my mother and Ginny, and many other things.

But the strangest thing is that in every corner of the memory scene, there is a picture of Ginny sleeping or sneaking food in different places.

"Ginny, you treat this sapling like your own child, right?"

Ginny blushed slightly: "Yes, yes, this Devil Fruit was a gift from Bear Cub."

"I've always wanted to marry Xiongzai and have children, but Xiongzai isn't here, and I can't manage on my own."

"I have to take care of it every day —"

His voice grew softer and softer, but Bazel's speculations about the saplings grew stronger.

Devil Fruits are products of desire, and each fruit will evolve and change according to the obsessions and thoughts of the eater.

Big Mom lacked friends and family, so the Soul-Soul Fruit allowed her to create Homies.

Doflamingo believes he is trapped and wants to disrupt the old Celestial Dragons' order in order to create a new world.

Therefore, the String-String Fruit gave rise to a powerful technique called the Birdcage.

Ginny longs to start a family with Bear Cub and have children.

In addition, it absorbed the remaining life force of the World Tree on Samvana Island.

Perhaps it was the combination of these two that gave birth to this special life.

"Treat her well, Bonnie."

Noticing the change in address in Bazel's words, Ginny looked at the sapling with curiosity.

"She already considers you her mother; that's the memory she has."

The snake spirit, in a dreamlike state, emerged from Bazel's head, carrying a hazy ball of light as it flew into Ginny's head.

"This memory expresses her attachment, her feelings, and her curiosity."

"Your presence is in every fragment of her memory."

Bazel gently touched the trunk and leaves.

"I have conveyed your affection; please grow up healthily."

Bonnie.
