Pokémon integrating into residents' lives

Queen's confusion did not hinder the progress of the era. The development of Wano Country continued, and the transformation in the Udon region was completed. The number of factories had reached saturation, and the production met the demands of the Beasts Pirates.

While in the outside world, Beasts Fruits has vaguely become the food tycoon in the New World's Underworld, encompassing fruits, dairy products, meat products and some special medicines.

These monopolistic products ensured the status of Beasts Fruits and established their reputation in the industry.

After building a good reputation, Beasts Pirates began expanding their market, trading some ordinary crops.

Compared to high-end products targeted at the elite market, these bulk commodities also brought high profits, albeit through quantity. The actions of the Beasts Pirates led to a major reshuffling in the New World's Underworld.

Many Winter islands or islands with desert environments couldn't meet their own food demands and relied on external trade, and Beasts Fruits monopolized most of this business.

As for the original black market merchants, they had gradually been eliminated in the competition. Queen and Nightin developed new high-yield crops through research on Berries and some plants.

Both Umit's transportation industry and Giberson's warehousing industry had to give face to Kaido and Charlotte Linlin. Charlotte Linlin could acquire more fruits because Kaido's business was expanding. Her taste had become picky, and ordinary fruits no longer satisfied her demands, so she supported Kaido's development in this area.

In this situation, their normal means of competition were no match for the Beasts Pirates. As for unconventional methods, Kaido hoped they would use them more, after all there was a shortage of miners.

In the Wano Country, with the support of the Beasts Pirates, Kojiro's trading guild resurged and began recruiting local people, gradually familiarizing the residents of Wano Country with the presence of the Beasts Pirates.

Moreover, many people began accepting the new things brought by the Beasts Pirates, but these individuals did not originate from Hakumai or Udon. They first appeared in Kuri.

The farmers of Paradise Farm under the rule of Kozuki Oden were the first to accept the Beasts Pirates' presence.

Thanks to Kin'emon's operation, they had to lease out Paradise Farm, and the farmers living there were most affected because it was their means of livelihood.

During Kin'emon and others previous propaganda, the Beasts Pirates were portrayed as sinister and whatever they saw was all fake.

The monster cattles they raised were also terrifying creatures. After all, normal cattle wouldn't have three tails or walk on two legs. They were demonic cattle who brought misfortune.

The local residents of Wano Country were mostly uneducated, and they developed a strong aversion towards the Beasts Pirates due to this situation, just like other regions have been affected to some extent.

Unfortunately, after giving up Paradise Farm, they couldn't find a way to resettle the original farmers, so they had no choice but to face the management of the Beasts Pirates.

However, after some contact, they realized that the reality wasn't as terrifying as Kin'emon and others had described.

Beasts Pirates were developing hybrid farming in Wano Country. Although there was more focus on farming in the Kuri region, there was also animal husbandry. So after obtaining Paradise Farm, a group of Miltank was sent there.

The taste of their milk would change depending on their diet, and they were fed with Berries to improve the taste before sending them there.

In order to sell the milk to far away places, in addition to the weapon factories in Udon, dairy and fruit factories were established in Kuri and Hakumai.

Reasonable industrialization wouldn't harm the environment but would improve the national economy.

While the industrial wastewater became the food source for Alolan Muk, the poisonous crystals they produce serve as materials for Queen's weapons, creating a symbiotic cycle as a whole.

Every time the Beasts Pirates seized land and built factories, Kurozumi Orochi would be briefly pleased, but their actions soon dampened his joy.

In his view, as long as he forced those people to work by using weapons, it would be enough. However, the Beasts Pirates insisted on paying them, but Orochi had no control over that money.

The profits generated by these new factories had nothing to do with him. He could only obtain a portion of the profits from the weapon factories, while he was also responsible for paying the wages of the craftsmen.

But regardless of who gave the money, it couldn't fully achieve his goal of persecuting Wano Country. This greatly dissatisfied him, but he dared not vent his frustrations openly and could only engage in committing crimes within his own Flower Capital.

Kaido did not intervene either. The commoners who were persecuted and bankrupted and forced to leave the Flower Capital became the preferred recruits of Kojiro's trading guild and the Beasts Pirates' factories.

Kuri, another peaceful day began. Even before the sun rises, farmers on the farms were already waking up to prepare for their work, and children are no exception.

Education was a privilege reserved for samurais and noble's descendants, not for the children of ordinary farmers.

Their recent tasks were simple: milking Miltank.

"Kentaro, be careful not to fall. After milking, put the milk there and wait for someone to come and collect it!"

Even though it wasn't their first time working, she still reminded her young son.

"I know, Mom. Don't worry about me."

Miltanks have a gentle nature, and as long as one could accept their appearance, they were easy to get along with.

However, Miltanks don't like machines. Using machines would affect their mood and decrease the quality of their milk. So, every day, the farmers here manually milked them.

There were dozens of Miltank scattered around the farm, with no fences or chains; they were allowed to roam freely here. Relying solely on Kentaro, it is naturally impossible to accomplish all the work.

He was only responsible for a few Miltanks, and the ones he was familiar with would wait for him in a designated spot.

Along the way, there were many children of similar age to him who came to milk. These children did most of the milking because Miltank cooperated well with them, thus there was no need for able-bodied adults.

The able-bodied adults were responsible for tasks such as farming, weeding, and watering.

Moreover, the intelligence of Miltank was not much inferior to these children. They even became friends with Miltank. After the initial fear, they realized that these strange cows were completely different from what the adults described.

Every morning, the Beasts Pirates would deliver prepared bottles, and their job was to store the milk and wait for it to be collected in the evening.

After milking, the Miltank would not only search for food but also play with the children, adorning their faces with smiles.

This was just a glimpse. Within Wano Country, the presence of Pokémon had gradually become a part of some residents' lives.
