Li Yiming glanced at these guys lightly, and could easily feel the surging blood in their bodies.
There is no magic in the human body of Pirate World, but perhaps because of the reason of the world, the human body here has very strong blood, so they can achieve such great achievements in the body.
And this group of people in front of them is obviously much stronger than ordinary humans. Even the pirates they met in the East China Sea are not as surging as them.
Then there is no doubt that the identities of these guys are already very clear.
Are these guys all bounty hunters from Welcome Town?
It's still too early now, and Nicole Robin hasn't come to the great route from the West Sea yet, so it's not certain whether Crocodile has recovered these guys.
However, since these guys have appeared, it will be easier to handle the next step.
At this moment, a man with curly hair came out from the crowd, looked at Li Yiming and others and asked, "Excuse me, are you pirates?"
Looks like a bounty hunter!
Li Yiming understood immediately, but on the surface he remained calm. These bounty hunters had deep routines, completely different from conventional battles, and chose to use their brains instead.
All ships that come to Whiskey Hill will be questioned by them. Once it is confirmed that the person is a pirate, they will celebrate wildly, and then get everyone drunk and secretly tie them up and send them to the navy in exchange for a high amount of money. of bounties.
The vast majority of normal people would not be caught in the trap, but there are still quite a few stunned youths who have just entered the great route, and finally survived the bad weather, but fell into this kind of place.
"No, we are not pirates, we are just tourists, I'm afraid we will disappoint you.
Hearing this, the faces of the curly-haired man and the surrounding residents suddenly looked very disappointed, but they still held their emotions and said: "So it's a pity that you are tourists, but although you are not pirates, we still welcome you."
With your arrival, Whiskey Hill is an island town with a well-developed music and wine making, and hospitality has always been our tradition...."
"It's a complete lie!"
He Faith easily saw through this guy's lies with almost no effort.
Human beings can't lie in front of gods, let alone in front of gods who lifted the seal of divine power. The little things in these people's hearts are easily noticed by the red-haired goddess.
As soon as these words came out, everyone's muscles tensed instantly, and even the smiles froze on their faces.
However, Goddess Faith's sudden statement made it difficult for Li Yiming. He originally planned to use transactions to achieve his goals after a short conversation.
But now it seems that this idea is completely wishful thinking.
"Well, now that 273 has developed into this situation, there is no other way. Everyone, does anyone have a record pointer to Alabasta? Or a pointer to the next island? If you pirate hunters are willing to trade If so, I will give you a fairly decent reward."
Now that it has been made clear, there is no need to continue to pretend to be stupid.
Li Yiming unceremoniously exposed the true identities of everyone present, and put forward his own demands.
Recording pointers are not uncommon in the great route. It can be said that even on some islands with only villages, there are shops that specialize in selling recording pointers.
And in some large islands or towns, there are record pointers pointing to several islands.
As the only tool that can guide the direction, it is natural to spare no effort in making it.
"I didn't expect you to see through my identity, little brother. It seems that our disguise is not enough!" The curly-haired man scratched his head, and his face suddenly showed distress, "Is it the record pointer pointing to Alabasta? It is indeed Yes, but brother, why are you going to Alabasta?"
"Since we are travelers, we must of course have a taste of the customs and customs of some islands. I heard that Alabasta is the first large country in the Great Route, so we plan to visit and buy some souvenirs by the way.
"Is that so? That's all right."
As he said that, the curly-haired man undoubtedly breathed a sigh of relief.
I saw him winking behind him, and another man immediately took out a recording pointer from his pocket. The appearance was the same, but the direction it was pointing in was not the same.
It is not possible to determine whether it is the record pointer pointing to Alabasta, but the direction is not wrong.
"That's the record pointer to Alabasta."
"Thank you, how do you sell it?"
"No need, just treat it as a friend."
Hearing this sentence, Li Yiming's expression suddenly became very strange.
These bounty hunters should all be members of the Baroque studio. If this guy in front of him knows that he went to Alabasta to defeat the sand crocodile guy, I don't know if he will be so enthusiastic and generous. Come on with a weird face!
Fortunately, Li Yiming is not a person with bad tastes, and he will not take the initiative to make trouble for himself.
Since the other party is unwilling to accept money, then just let him go.
Defeating the sand crocodile and disbanding the Baroque studio may be a good thing for these people, and it can be regarded as their own reward!
Thinking of this, Li Yiming no longer hesitated, reached out and took the record pointer (bjcc), with a faint smile on his face, expressing his goodwill.
After doing all this, the curly-haired man turned around and left.
Since they are not pirates, there is no need to continue contacting them. After all, they are pirate hunters, not pirates, and they will not rob ordinary ships, even if they belong to the sand crocodile, one of the king's seven martial arts. recognized by the world government.
But compared to earning quick money, the bounties offered by those pirates are more attractive.
The people at the pier left quickly, Li Yiming put away the record pointer, turned around and walked back to Goddess Faith.
"It's all here, why don't you go for a while before leaving, anyway, you have obtained the record pointer, you can go to Alabasta anytime, there is no rush.
"Listen to you. 11
He Faith Toss naturally has no objection to this.
Hundreds of millions of years have taught these gods to be patient, and Olali's life has gradually become boring. Now that he has come to a brand new world, it is natural to take a good look at it.
So, the two of them entered the whiskey hill together.
Although the curly-haired man lied before, some of his words are indeed true. For example, the music and wine on this island are indeed very good. Even if the residents of the entire island are pirate hunters, in order to confuse those Lengtouqing, he really didn't work hard.
However, this is not bad for ordinary people.
Goddess Faith has drunk many wines, many of which are divine wines. Even the adventurers in Orario who have the development ability of brewing, the wines they brew are far better than Pirate World in terms of taste. The drinks are even better.
The only attractive thing is probably the music.
With an attitude of appreciation and enjoyment, Goddess Hettos also had a great time.
Half a day later, the group set off again.
With the record pointer pointing to Alabasta and the blessing of the sacred text, the speed of the ship is naturally fast. Generally, it takes more than ten days or even a few months for a ship to travel, but Li Yiming only needs a day or two. Not full speed.
If it wasn't for the fear of accidentally bumping into something in the middle, I'm afraid it would be faster.
rainy land.
Alabasta's dream city, which is hardly affected by drought and civil strife, and the kingdom's largest casino "Rain Banquet" is also built here, which can be called the center of the country.
Another point, Shichibukai Crocodile also lives here.
As for the rest of the country, the drought has more or less begun to hit.
Starting from the coast, the degree of desertification began to spread towards the central area. Now this situation has just appeared, so it is still acceptable. People can also move towards the central area, but as time goes by , this situation will be exacerbated.
If there is no solution, or if the drought continues, the country may fall into turmoil.
Landing from the port city of Rapeseed Flowers, the ships were left directly by the sea.
For ordinary people, if they want to reach the rainy land, they must buy enough water and other supplies in Rapeseed Flowers, and then cross the entire Alabasta kingdom.
However, for Li Yiming et al., this is not necessary at all.
Because of the goddess Faith, they can all fly!
After a brief stroll around the city of Rapeseed Flowers, Li Yiming and Guyina flew directly into the sky under the leadership of Goddess Faith, and entered the depths of the island at a terrifying speed. During the trip, they saw a lot of deserts, as well as some small human settlements.
Plants are a complete luxury in this country.
"Didn't you say that Alabasta is a relatively prosperous country in the great sea route? Why did it become like this? It's so desolate when passing by!"
Kuina was puzzled, it was completely different from what she saw in the newspaper.
"Someone took action against this country. 'Sand crocodile' Crocodile fired dancing powder into the air to reduce the precipitation in Alabasta.
The long-term water shortage caused almost all plants to wither, the land was desertified, and even fresh water resources It has also decreased, and it will naturally become like this."
In mid-air, Li Yiming explained lightly.
"How can this be, it's really abominable!"
Hearing this sentence, the kind-hearted Kuina suddenly let out an angry roar.
He Faith Toss on the side didn't express any opinion. As a god, she has seen more darkness, many of which were more serious situations, and some of them even harmed the gods.
Therefore, although she still has fluctuations in her heart, she will not take the initiative to act.
"Do you feel reconciled? Kuina, Crocodile is indeed not a good person. For his own desires, he does not hesitate to rule the entire Alabasta, so as to achieve his goals. The means are very tough, but it only affects ordinary people. people only.
Knowing the situation in Alabasta very well, Li Yiming gave his own evaluation in a concise manner.
However, when these words fell into Guina's ears, the inexperienced girl suddenly showed a shocked expression, obviously a little unbelievable.
"That's all? Master, is such a serious matter actually just that?"
"It's serious, but that's all, Guina!"
Faced with Kuina's puzzled question, Li Yiming continued to explain in a very flat manner before reaching the rainy land: "This kind of situation is very common in any place, Kuina, you have to remember one sentence , the strong rule over the weak, this is the unchanging truth of nature."
"From the point of view of ordinary people, Crocodile's behavior endangered their lives, but in his own view, the weak guy is worthless at all. He is just working hard to accomplish what he wants to accomplish. As for the harm during the period to others, he has nothing to do with
close.
"This is the sorrow of the weak, who can't even control their own destiny."
"You may think this kind of statement is very cruel, but in this world where the jungle preys on the weak, it is true. Just like the world government, they cover up hundreds of thousands of people.
In the history of years ago, he did not hesitate to kill the scholars of the entire island, even if some people were very innocent. "
"There are also those Tianlong people who want to break up other people's families for their own happiness, and even trample on other people's freedom, dignity and even life.
To pity the victims?"
"Let me tell you, no, before things happen to them, the vast majority of people are indifferent, they will not take the initiative to speak for the victims, but choose to be cold
Bystanders, and even sometimes, they will become accomplices. "
"The reality is so cruel!!!"
The cold words fell into Kuina's heart like a knife blade.
The girl who grew up in a greenhouse since she was a child has only seen pirates in people's mouths and newspapers, and she only encountered them in person after going to sea, and more of them are all
I don't know.
These things are things she can't understand at all.
At the same time, she did not expect that the world government, which symbolizes the pinnacle of power, would actually do such insane things. It is simply a group of animals.
If even the world government is like this, then the world is simply in jeopardy.
Seeing that Kuina had almost digested it, Li Yiming slowed down her tone and continued: "The purpose of my saying this is not to make you a world-weary villain, I think
The point is, you can't decide who other people are, but you can decide who you are. "
"If you can't stand the behavior of these guys, then you can choose to help, but the premise is that you have enough strength, otherwise your behavior is not a good deed, but
Is to die. "
"The strong make the rules, the only thing the weak can do is obey."
"So, if you don't want to be slaughtered by others, then work hard to become stronger, become stronger than anyone, become stronger than gods, when the time comes, your words will be the rules."
"At the same time, don't feel uneasy because of other people's words, and move forward unswervingly in the direction you think is right. Remember one sentence, my heart and my deeds are as clear as a mirror
, all that is done is just', and as for the rest, let them speak!"
Like a huge hammer hitting her heart, Kuina froze in place.
"My heart and my deeds are as clear as a mirror, and everything I do is just..."
The girl kept repeating these words, and her eyes gradually brightened from being confused.
"I see, Master, I will keep your teachings in mind, work hard to become stronger, and then realize my dreams, get rid of all injustices, and do my best!"
"It seems that you have found your own direction, so work hard!"
Although Li Yiming does not approve of the so-called "sweeping away all injustices", that kind of person is easy to be used by others, but if it is what Kuina thinks deep in his heart, then what he does
The master will only support silently, and then deal with all the guys with bad intentions.
He doesn't mind helping other people if he's having fun.
But in comparison, he still cares more about the people around him.
Whether it's selfish or narrow-minded, at least he has no regrets in his heart. Li Yiming doesn't want to regret it in the future, which is also his goal of becoming stronger.
"Yiming, what you said today is really a feast for my ears. You really are a child who radiates light all over your body. Although what you said has become stronger than a god, it is a little offensive.
Meaning, but I don't know why, I always feel that sooner or later you will be able to do that kind of thing!"
"And, I'm looking forward to that day!"
He Faith interrupted suddenly, with bright brilliance in his eyes.
Hearing this, Li Yiming also smiled softly, looked at the town not far away, and said loudly: "I will not disappoint you, Lord Shangshen."
Everyone's speech stopped temporarily, because the destination has arrived!
Kingdom of Alabasta.
One of the Seven Martial Seas under the King, the lair of Crocodile Crocodile, Rainland!
Li Yiming's knowledgeable domineering has captured that powerful aura!
