One Piece: My aptitude can be infinitely transformed

This sudden injury made his relaxed heart tense again. However, Finn knew that the most important thing now was to recover as soon as possible. Although the injury was not too serious, he knew that he needed a period of rest.

Finn chose to recuperate at the Twin Capes, and often chatted with old Krocas, taking this opportunity to learn about the New World and the Great Route. Gradually, the relationship between Finn and Krocas became better and better, and the communication became more and more frequent.

Finn revealed the cause of his injury to the old doctor and asked if he had ever seen the giant monster. Krocas said that he had not seen it with his own eyes, and Finn also knew from his surprised expression that he was not lying.

During the conversation, Finn learned that this kind of giant beast is also very rare in the New World. Krocas mentioned that he had only seen the giant elephant on Zou Island, which really shocked him at the time.

Krocas heard that such a monster appeared near the Red Earth Continent, and did not chase it but guarded it like a guard, as if he thought of something.

Obviously, he thought of the information Roger had said about Raftel, including the fact that the giant beast was guarding the huge kingdom.

During their conversation, Finn also recalled the discussion about the location of Raftel in his previous life. Some people said that it was not far from the Red Earth Continent, and the starting point and the end point of the adventure were separated by a wall.

At this time, Finn also believed that the protection of the giant beast might be to prevent people from taking shortcuts. Only the brave who truly conquered the Grand Line were worthy of arriving.

. . .

On the stone bench near the lighthouse, Finn and Krocas had been fishing leisurely and chatting since Finn was injured.

Finn took the initiative to ask, "Old man, what do you know about the Grand Line? Can you share it with me?"

Old Krocas smiled. Over the past few days, he has become more and more appreciative of Finn. He shook the fishing rod in his hand and said, "The Grand Line is a place that is both loved and hated. This sea area is very dangerous and full of endless unknowns and challenges.

Currently, this sea area has been constantly explored, and the sea charts of various areas are confidential and strictly kept secret by major forces. The island kingdom on the surface is just the tip of the iceberg, and many islands like small gardens have not yet been discovered."

Here, he paused, turned his eyes to Finn, and continued, "If you want to take risks, you must have a strong team. You need a navigator who understands the currents, climate, sea kings, and the distribution of dangerous seas. This is the most basic of the basics. The most important thing is that this sea carries the dreams of countless pirates who yearn for adventure. To conquer this sea, you need a strong partner. After all, a person's ability is limited. Even a strong captain like Roger relies on a strong team to sail."

"Should I form a team?" Finn muttered to himself, thinking about whether he also needed to build a team and how to form one. But this is not a pirate game, and he does not have the aura of the protagonist, nor the ability to raise his arm and call countless strong men to respond.

Seeing Finn fall into deep thought, Krocas's smile deepened, knowing that his words had inspired him. Then, old Krocas quietly stared at the sea in the distance, as if recalling the past.

After a while, he continued to share his experience: "There are many wonders in this sea area. Just like the upside-down mountain in front of you, the four seas are reversed, and there are also sea currents surging from the ground to the sky, the sudden fault of the sea, the magical space interlayer, the four seasons of the day, and other strange scenes, which are simply incredible."

As Krocas narrated, Finn's curiosity about the Grand Line deepened. He decided to use this time to ask Krocas for more knowledge about the Grand Line so that he could better adapt to this challenging sea area in advance.

At the same time, Finn noticed that many merchant ships from the East China Sea and the South China Sea crossed the Upside-down Mountain. This confused him. Is it worth it for merchant ships to travel in this dangerous sea area?

After all, the risk of ship damage and loss of life always exists, and Finn doubts whether the profit can offset such a risk. However, he gradually realized that he had underestimated the richness of the resources in this place where the four seas meet.

Through conversations with Krocas, Finn learned that the profit of these merchant ships on a trip could be dozens of times that of other seas, and the precious resources of the Great Channel attracted people from all over the world.

And these merchant ships generally belong to large chambers of commerce, with complete ship configurations, perennial exchanges, and rich experience. It is not difficult for them to cross the Upside-Down Mountain.

Therefore, they are unwilling to pay high passage fees and choose to bypass the doldrums routes to the four seas guarded by pirate forces. The merchant ships believe that they have enough strength to cross the Upside-Down Mountain and directly reach the Great Channel.

This approach not only reduces theeconomic burden, and avoid unexpected attacks by sea kings. Although these routes are regarded as a way to make money by pirate forces, and sea kings are cleaned up regularly, there will inevitably be omissions. Once you are unlucky, you may be buried in the belly of the fish.

Finn was quite curious about this and had some doubts. The Grand Line itself is an extremely dangerous area, full of a large number of pirate forces. Are these caravans not worried about encountering danger at all? Or, what kind of support do they have? The more Finn thought about it, the more confused he became.

So Finn decided to ask some passing caravans about this doubt. In the process of talking with the caravan, Finn's worldview was greatly impacted. It turned out that his cognition was too narrow.

He always thought that pirates robbed merchant ships on the Grand Line and occupied uncontrolled islands as bases. He believed that pirates relied on the dangers of the Grand Line and the secrecy of the territory to avoid the navy, which constituted a paradise for pirates.

However, after some understanding, Finn realized that the actual situation was far from the case. There are indeed some vicious pirate groups that rob merchant ships, but these are often small pirate groups that have just entered the Grand Line.

With a limited scale, they can only be regarded as small-scale, and then rush to the New World, dreaming of standing at the top of the pirate world there. These small pirate groups will not only be wanted and hunted by the navy, but may also be hostile to local large pirate groups.

It turns out that not all pirate groups are aiming to pursue the One Piece. Some realized their strength during the adventure, and some were afraid of taking risks and fighting at sea, especially in the New World, where the mortality rate is too high.

Some are attracted by the pirates' unearned and life of drinking and drinking, so they choose to stay in various areas of the Grand Line. Only those pirate groups with dreams, full of blood, or who think they are strong will always pursue the One Piece as their goal.

And those pirate groups that choose to stay in the Grand Line, if they continue to rob without restraint, will inevitably lead to more severe pursuit by the navy. This is related to the dignity of the navy, and the superficial stability must be maintained.

For those relatively peaceful pirate groups, as long as they do not take the initiative to provoke the navy, the navy will usually turn a blind eye. After all, the Grand Line itself is extremely dangerous. The navy cannot cover all areas at the same time, and it is unable to clear all pirate groups from the four seas.

Therefore, many pirate groups choose to divide the territory secretly, control the local maritime trade, and cooperate with large chambers of commerce, local gangs and other forces to provide shelter and collect shares, in order to survive in a relatively mild way.

This way of peaceful coexistence between all forces is good for everyone. The pirate group will not take risks and destroy the relative tranquility of this sea area. The navy maintains peace at sea and avoids disorderly pirate activities.

At the same time, maritime trade can also proceed smoothly without being threatened by pirates. It seems to be a perfect situation, and it has almost become a tacit rule in this sea area. After all, pirates also need to live a normal life and enjoy the wealth they earn.

Do you want the pirates to stay on the ship all the time? Obviously, it is not very realistic. Many pirates have bases on various islands, which looks a bit like starting a company, except that they rely on force to conduct a capitalless business, living a life of debauchery and drunkenness.

However, in this kind of life, it is easy to lose one's will. New pirate groups rise, and old ones will be destroyed and disbanded in battles. This is common in this sea area. It is also a bit dramatic. What can be seized by force can also be lost by force.

Therefore, under the pressure of the navy, the Grand Line presents a strange peace, because even the battles between pirate groups will avoid civilians.

The concept of the strong being respected is also vividly interpreted. The strong should enjoy the support, occupy the territory, and enjoy all this as they should. This concept has long been widely accepted on the Grand Line and staged in many island countries, and the navy has no ability to subvert it.

Therefore, some major countries also cultivate their own pirate groups, such as the Eight Treasures Navy of the Flower Country.

After learning this information, Finn tried to keep himself calm, which really overturned his original cognition. He couldn't help thinking that it seemed that none of those who could successfully serve as captains and become the bosses of pirate groups were really stupid.

They knew the difference between having a full meal and having a full meal every time. They also knew that one-time deals such as fishing in a dry pond and hunting in a burning forest were very easy to dig their own graves, because the behavior was too radical, the navy would never tolerate it, and the final outcome would definitely be continuous pursuit.

So, even if you have wealth, what can you do? Isn't it heaven?Living in fear and hiding from place to place, how can you continue to do business without any cost and still have fun and eat, drink and have fun comfortably?

The reason why the navy can acquiesce to this relatively mild approach is, on the one hand, because it is very difficult to hunt down the pirate group. If the pirates are forced into a corner, they may jump over the wall and die, resulting in huge losses.

On the other hand, this way of pirates fighting for territory helps to keep the pirates from consuming each other and reduce the pressure on the New World. In this way, the navy can also maintain the stability of the sea relatively easily without investing too much manpower and material resources. This seemingly contradictory cooperative coexistence has become a special phenomenon in this sea area.

. . .

After half a month of recuperation at Gemini Cape, Finn's injuries were almost completely healed. This reminded him of the scene in the comics, where Luffy could recover quickly as long as he was full. Now it seems that this description is purely exaggerated.

Perhaps Oda just exaggerated the effect to make the plot more fascinating. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for people to recover so quickly.

During this period, Finn also asked Crocus some questions about Roger's pirate group, but to his disappointment, the old doctor did not choose to answer these questions.

In addition, Finn also asked about the Conqueror's Haki, and the result was also disappointing. Crocus knew very little about it. It seems that in this era, the understanding of Conqueror's Haki is still at the primary stage, and many people still superstitiously believe that this is the qualification of the king.

As for the Observation Haki and Armament Haki, they have not been explained from the perspective of human medicine, at least in Crocus's opinion, it is impossible to explain.

Finn also has some understanding of the discussion of medicine. He learned that the doctors in this world are mainly similar to Chinese medicine. Through summarization from generation to generation, the prescriptions for treating the symptoms are optimized.

Those more powerful doctors can really treat the symptoms through pharmacological matching. The inheritance of medicine is mostly family or master-apprentice system, and this kind of "eating" skill is usually not easily passed on.

As for why medical research is still so backward even though life research has reached the level of bloodline factors, the reason is that the equipment is expensive, and there are many undeveloped islands in this world. There are countless precious medicinal materials that are thousands of years old. They are not as valuable as imagined. The real effect is good, quick, and cheap.

This is also one of the reasons why the Great Waterway can attract merchants from all over the world. There are many medicinal herbs in the previous year, and the profits are very lucrative. In addition, the Great Waterway has unique plants, animals, minerals and other scarce resources in the world. The attraction is too great, which makes these merchants flock to it.
