Chapter 67: The Shackles of the Snake Chief
With a near-limitless food supply and a myriad of interesting Homitz, IWC has an almost overwhelming advantage in the two segments of cheap food and high-end toys.
To say that in the past, it was limited by the lack of shipping capacity of all countries, but now it is completely possible to directly use Charlotte Bray's ability to ship out through the mirror world, and the warehousing and logistics costs are almost zero, and the price is the same as that of finding a rival......
However, Mousse also thinks that the export trade needs a peaceful environment, and it is simply unrealistic to consider the grim situation that the family may break out into a major war with the navy at any time......
In fact, even when there was a tacit understanding with the Navy before, BIG· The main income of the MOM Pirates is also looting rather than trade.
After all, pirates are pirates, and if they can directly grab the wealth by force, why bother to do business exchange?
Just like the Western colonizers on the planet, only when the plundering will be counterattacked more effectively than the loss, will they do business honestly like a normal businessman......
However, even if the family is strong and attaches great importance to intelligence, the income from the robbery is not stable enough after all, and this income is 100% used as "public funds" at the disposal of the mother, even the two brothers can't share even half of Bailey; And the income from export trade is not much, and the islands export even less, and now they have completely turned against the navy, and the business is even more difficult, so even if you become the owner of the island, you don't have much income, Sister Armand is indeed taking precautions! Mousse figured it out, but he wouldn't say it on his lips.
Because Mousse, as the mother's favorite child, is actually the biggest beneficiary of this distribution system......
Although it must be an extremely special object to fully exert its power, the Book Fruit is after all recognized as a top-level Devil Fruit. The MOM Pirates spent more than 1 billion Baileys to buy them.
Only with such a system, coupled with Charlotte Lingling's preference, can such a treasure fall on the head of Mousse, a 6-year-old child who has no contribution to the family....
Regardless, after learning about the financial situation of his older siblings, Mousse fully understood why the two sisters coveted the prize money of the Arena Tournament.
However, Charlotte Castad is not demanding, fortunately, Charlotte Armand is here for the championship prize of 100 million Bailey, which is not so easy to get, so Mousse also kindly reminded a few words, "It's better to be careful, there are a lot of great guys this time, and even if it's a local contestant from the country of Dressrosa, don't underestimate it~"
"Are there any great people here? That king is obviously very ordinary! Charlotte Castad was a little surprised when she heard this, most of the countries in the New World are the strongest, so she habitually thinks that King Liku is the strongest of Dressrosa!
"That man has won more than a thousand games in a row in this arena, what do you say?" , Mousse is of course talking about Cyrus, who will achieve the achievement of "The Legend of the Undefeated Three Thousand Battles in the Arena" in the future.
It's just that I haven't seen it in person yet, so Mousse can't be sure which is stronger or weaker than the current Charlotte Armand, so he didn't say anything to death.
But it is obviously difficult to convince Charlotte Castad in this way, "This competition is said to be unprecedented in scale, and it is only at this level, including Armand's sister, there are only five seeded players who have a Dao power value of more than 4000 and directly enter the semifinals, and the usual level is even lower, maybe I can continue to win in a row, what's the big deal?" ”
"Sister Armand doesn't participate in the preliminary round? I said, "Why haven't I seen her until now?" Mousse put on a look of sudden realization on his face, but he estimated Charlotte Armand's current strength in his heart.
At least 4000 power points, plus two-color domineering, even if this strength is not as good as Luffy two years ago (Rob Lucci's 4000 power value for reference is in human form), it is at least stronger than Zoro at that time, right?
She didn't eat the Devil Fruit and had such strength purely by virtue of swordsmanship and domineering, and she was one year younger than the three Katakuri brothers, this talent was already very good, but in the future, she didn't even become the fourth general, and she was not positioned as a civil official like the eldest brother, could it be that she had already encountered a bottleneck like Katakuri?
"Don't worry, unless it's too much strength, or it's a particularly weird Devil Fruit ability, Sister Armand won't lose!" , and Charlotte Castad, who knows her sister's strength better, is even more confident in it, which makes Mousse look forward to the rematch later......
However, Mousse didn't have to wait until the game to meet Charlotte Armand, and he knew the true strength of the third sister in advance.
Although the domineering spirit has just recovered, it is enough to probe it when the target is not deliberately hidden, "More than 4,500 vitality? That power value may be 5000, right? The snakeheads are all agile, and their vitality should be lower...... Domineering 0.179, which is 17.9% of my domineering ceiling, which is also one of the few contestants......"
Charlotte Armand's strength is very strong, which further confirms Mousse's previous speculation.
But unlike Katakuri who avoided strong enemies in order to protect his younger siblings and Klee Rack who was afraid of pain since childhood, Charlotte Armand did not have the psychological burden of the former, and as a snakehead, she was naturally bloodthirsty and warlike, so why did she stagnate early?
Originally, this question could only be answered by waiting for time, but Mousse had previously learned about the reality of several influential minority races out of curiosity.
It turned out that the talent of the snakehead clan in swordsmanship was far better than that of normal humans, and the total population plus the mixed race (but the appearance of the snakehead clan) was only a hundred thousand, but the number of known swordsmen accounted for almost a quarter of the number of public swordsmen in the world.
But the strangest thing is not this, but that there are obviously so many swordsmen, but there has never been a "big swordsman" in history, at least the public information is like this, no matter how you look at it, it feels a little incredible.
At that time, Mousse was not interested in the Serpent Clan, and he only learned about it in passing, but now that he learned that his sister Amande's strength would soon come to a standstill, he soon connected the two things......
"Could it be that Sister Armand can't go up because of the natural limitations of her race? But why can't the snakehead clan become a great swordsman? Wait, what exactly is a great swordsman? Is there a clear statement? Mousse seemed to have found the answer, but the doubts in his heart continued unabated.
