People are pirates, the sum of the strength of the kingdom at the beginning!

East China Sea in 1500 years of the sea calendar

, Zhenbeast Island.

After several months of development, the island of rare beasts has been completely new at this time.

A large number of wooden houses were built on the island, each with its own owner.

This is a log cabin that nearly a thousand orphans built for themselves on the island with the help of rare beasts.

Under Carmon's plan, although each cabin has a different shape.

But in terms of overall layout, the houses on the island appear very regular.

After a few months of adaptation, these orphans in the East China Sea have gradually adapted to their new homes and new lives.

And the slaves who were bought by Dick, some of them had some kind of talent.

Dick gave them preferential treatment and assigned them to various suitable positions in the Xuanwu Kingdom.

And those ordinary people who have no talent, Dick also gave them the status of citizens of the Xuanwu Kingdom.

It's just that they need to work for the Xuanwu Kingdom for free until they pay off the ransom that Dick paid them.

Every day, Brian would take these thousands of orphans around the island of rare beasts for morning exercises.

Throughout the morning, Brian and the few Kendo disciples that Dick brought out of the Issin Dojo taught the children some survival skills and kendo.

The afternoon is the working time of these children, who need to earn points by completing various tasks on the island of rare animals.

For example, for simple cleaning tasks, you can get 1 point for each small area cleaned.

1 point represents 10 berry, and the children of the island can use these points to get what they want.

At night, it's a children's favorite story convention.

But it was actually Dick's ideological education lesson.

Dick passes through some familiar stories from his past life.

After artistic processing, let these children engrave the freedom, equality and justice of the Xuanwu Kingdom in their hearts.

Not only these children, but even adults such as Huli and Carmon like to listen to Dick's stories.

And during the day, Dick was busy with the merchant guild.

The merchant guild has begun to take shape, with Dick as the mastermind behind it.

It can be said that he controls the economic lifeline of the entire East China Sea.

More importantly, at Dick's behest, Hail Kefan, who had already joined the Xuanwu Kingdom.

His caravan monopolized the fruit trade throughout the East China Sea.

Oranges from the village of Cocosia, exotic fruits from the Jumida Islands, fruits from the Kingdom of Gaia...

Dick's purpose was already obvious.

Things were going in the direction Dick had expected.

Just today, Hair Kefan sent Dick a few odd fruits.

One is red, covered with spiral curls, and looks like the fruit of a honeydew melon.

One is purple, covered with spiral curls, and looks like the fruit of a banana.

The other is green, covered with spiral curls and barbs, and the pattern is strangely shaped not like fruit, but rather like the fruit of yam.

Dick recognized these as devil fruits at a glance, but Dick had no idea what kind of power these fruits had.

To discern the types and abilities of these devil fruits, Dick needs a Devil Fruit Guide.

It's a pity that Dick searched the entire East China Sea and couldn't find it.

So there was a embarrassment that now the devil fruit was in front of him, but there was no way to start.

Dick collected these demon fruits because Dick found himself too strong beyond his own people.

As a result, even if all the lords cultivated together, it would not bring Dick much more.

At the same time, a country without a backbone is extremely risky.

A large part of Dick's overall strength comes from the sum of the strength of all the lords.

If there is no strong presence in them, then for Dick this is a burden and his weakness.

Therefore, Dick was eager to improve the strength of his own subjects.

Since the Xuanwu Kingdom was only developing now, Dick didn't expect those children to bring him much increase.

And the Xuanwu Kingdom has the combat power to remove those rare beasts of Rare Beast Island, then there are only shipbuilder Brian, Admiral Kochiru, and Tiger Power.

"It's too weak~!" Dick thought that his country was full of "cat boys" and couldn't help but sigh a little.

Of course, if you count the Bucky Circus, or the Eight Treasures Water Army, then the overall strength of the Xuanwu Kingdom will indeed rise a notch.

But in Dick's vision, these can only be counted as the foreign editors of the Xuanwu Kingdom.

These external editors represent instability, and Dick certainly doesn't use them as his core workhorses.

Therefore, for the development of the Xuanwu Kingdom, there is still a long way to go.

There are not only nearly a thousand orphans in the entire East China Sea, but Dick will not bring all the orphans to Zhenbeast Island.

Not only because such movements are too large, but also because Zhenbeast Island cannot live so many people.

At the same time, Dick does not, just let him be his own lord if he is an orphan.

After all, Dick needed to make sure that his first introduction plan was full of people worth cultivating.

So Dick, through Hail Kefan, opened several orphanages throughout the East China Sea.

Each orphanage tried out the points rule set by Dick, and every month the orphans with the highest points ranking had the opportunity to undergo the citizenship test of the Xuanwu Kingdom.

In this way, Dick has a continuous source of high-quality citizens.

However, it also consumed a lot of Dick's Berry, just a few months.

The treasures of the Eight Treasures Water Army were consumed by Dick by nearly a third.

In Dick's next plan, a lot of Berry will also be consumed.

And the Berry that Dick now has is only a few months long.

Even the merchant guild set up by Dick is now in a state of breakeven.

Because if you want to constantly expand, then you need to consume a lot of berry.

Now that funds are scarce, Dick is even ready to go to his old business.

Speaking of pirate hunter identity, since Dick defeated Douglas Barrett.

No pirates dared to come to the East China Sea, which also led to a sharp decline in the income of those pirate hunters in the East China Sea.

Life forced them to change their appearance and actually became pirates, and after robbing it several times, they found that they were unimpeded in the East China Sea.

However, when the Navy issued a bounty order early the morning on the first day, Dick captured them at noon and exchanged them for a small bounty.

Dick's behavior made all the ill-intentioned guys dare not do anything.

Therefore, the East China Sea has become the rarest place among pirates in the sea.

Vice Admiral Karp also returned to the East China Sea once in this few months.

His task was to deliver Dick's bounty of nearly a billion berry into Dick's hands.

This made some news circulating on the sea again that Dick the pirate hunter had a close relationship with the navy.

At this moment, above the pavilion of the Rare Beast Island, Dick looked at the three devil fruits in front of him and fell into deep thought.

Soon, Dick took out a map of the West Sea, a somewhat quaint map that Dick found in the treasures of the Eight Treasures Water Army.

But that didn't stop Dick from finding the place he was looking for through this map.

I saw Dick draw a circle with a quill on the icon of a large tree.
