Queen's suffering day.jpg

This is his secret plantation, with a small cultivation area. It is mainly used for mass production experiments on crops from the laboratory and a place where he grows some food to satisfy his cravings.

Although the plantation scale of Tropius' bananas, through his effort, have expanded, they still differ significantly from the original. As a sweet-toothed foodie, Queen has not given up on this research.

Although relying on the Harvest ability, the original version on his chin already produces three harvests a year. However, it still doesn't satisfy him. On average, he can't even get one a month, which is why he took the time to plant them here.

Whether it's the soil, fertilizer, or climate, everything here is superior to the outside plantation. According to theoretical data, the replication level here will be higher.

Now, it's August 1502, the hottest time in Wano Country. And his bananas have just ripened.

Today, Yamato and others have the day off, so he doesn't have to go teach them, and since CP0 has also calmed down, without any disturbance from Omanyte, he slept a little longer than usual. However, when he was preparing to go harvest the bananas, the footprints on the ground gave him a very bad feeling.

"A pair of wooden clogs. One large footprint. Three females and one male. This combination…."

Through the shape and depth of the footprints, one could roughly estimate the gender and age, but in this world, there might be a significant margin of error.

These small footprints look more like four children. Wano Country's children wouldn't come here and run all around since he has a flag planted outside. So, most likely, the people who came here are from the Beasts Pirates.

Among the members of the Beasts Pirates, there is hardly anyone who wears wooden clogs. Yamato, under the care of Arceus, also wears other more comfortable shoes. Only Maria, who is a native of Wano Country and whose mother is also from Wano Country, wears wooden clogs.

There is Maria among the four people group.

Queen's sense of unease grew stronger. He immediately ran to the plantation and indeed found Yamato and her group, along with the bare banana trees.

At the same time, he heard some demonic words.

"Yamato, is this okay? These bananas must belong to someone else."

"It's okay, the banana plantation isn't here; it's on the other side. These are probably leftovers after transplanting. Look around, there's no one here. They must not want them. Let's not waste them. But the ones here taste better than the outside ones. Is it because they just ripened?"

Naturally ripened bananas are much tastier than those artificially ripened after being picked. However, even though Tropius's version of bananas has a longer shelf life, they can't wait for them to ripen naturally due to the need for transporting them. Therefore, they have to be harvested in advance.

Only people living near their place of origin can truly appreciate the taste of natural ripened ones.

"No, I think the bananas here are sweeter than the ones outside."

Jack also offered his assessment. When these comments reached Queen's ears, he felt like a knife was stabbing him.

"Eh? Uncle Queen, why are you here?"

"This is my plantation. I should be the one asking you that."

Queen's words concealed a lot of emotions: disappointment, anger, helplessness. Anyone else, he would have thrown them to the mine for rehabilitation. But the issue was that he couldn't do that with the people here.

The one leading the group was clearly Yamato. This whole thing, when it came down to it, was just a matter of a few bananas. If he got angry over this, he might end up being the one sent to the mines.

He currently felt as though his agricultural thesis had been stolen by someone, and that someone seemed to be the principal's daughter.

"You guys..ate all of them?" This was his experiment farm, so he hadn't planted much to begin with.

Also, he was well aware of their appetites. Maria and Robin were still within the range of normal humans.

Although Maria's stamina consumption makes her eat a little more, it's still within the normal range. However, Jack and Yamato were different, especially Yamato. Their massive consumption requires more food to meet their body's needs.

He's not even sure if the few experimental bananas he has are enough for them to eat.

"No, there's still one left over there. Uncle Queen, why are you crying?"

"It's nothing, just the sunlight is a bit dazzling."

Before Yamato and the others could ask why he found the sunlight dazzling when he was wearing sunglasses, Queen picked them up and took them out of the plantation.

"What's planted here is very important. Don't come here as you want in the future."

Saying that, he closed the gate. However, Yamato seemed to hear some wailing.

"Did we do something wrong?"

"I don't think so. Otherwise, Uncle Queen would have said it directly. But it seems like he doesn't want us to stay here. Let's find another place. We only have half a day of break left."

While they were changing locations, Queen looked at the last remaining banana and didn't know what to say. According to his plan, he could have enjoyed a good meal, but now he could only taste a bit. It would take several months to harvest the next batch.

News in newspapers always travels faster than people. Although Arceus had already returned to Onigashima, several other ships were still exploring or on their way back, like Shayna, who had already set out on her journey back.

But what arrived first was her wanted poster. A mysterious war photographer captured the image of Shayna emerging from the sea of flames. The dim background combined with her mask made her look like a demon from hell.

Draw became the heroic Marine who sacrificed himself while fighting against the pirates, and Shayna naturally became the demon.

Moreover, after the appearance of the Emperor of the Sea hyped up by Morgans, the pirates under the command of the three major pirate crews saw their bounties rise.

Shayna the Flame Blood, Bounty: 580 million Berries.

"Village Butcher", attacking the Marine fleet and a member of the Beasts Pirates, under these triple titles, her bounty reached this amount, and even her epithet changed.

"I can't recognize Sister Shayna in this wanted poster," Yamato looked at the newly issued wanted poster for a long time, but she still couldn't recognize that it was Shayna.

"It still has some resemblance, right? But why is there no news about Brother Mandrell?"

At this point, Robin had already returned to Sky Island, leaving only the three of them here. While Jack was concerned about Mandrell, he also asked Yamato a question.

"Yamato, why do you only call Queen 'Uncle' when they're of the same generation?"

"Well, maybe because Uncle Queen looks older."

While Jack was pondering why there was still no news from Mandrell, Mandrell was preparing to return. However, they encountered some interesting things while still in Paradise.

"Pierman, who's that guy? He seems to have some skills."

"Wait a minute, boss….he should be a rookie."
