"Yes." Mousse immediately nodded.

Then the middle-aged man replied in a tone that, although calm, could still be heard with a hint of longing:

"Then I hope it's the ability to change the terrain, and it would be better if I could change the water and soil......"

Mousse's heart jumped suddenly, because he remembered that he happened to have such a devil fruit in his family, and immediately asked the middle-aged man why he wanted such an ability.

Then the middle-aged man said with deep longing that the people of the country of flowers had been looking forward to for thousands of years:

"With this ability, I will be able to dig deep enough into the 'above-ground river' of Muddy Water, so that it will never overflow!"

"With this ability, I will be able to open up a canal in the middle of the mountains and mountains, divert the excess water from the south to the water-scarce north, and turn two evils into two benefits!"

"With this ability, I can flatten the rugged mountains in the Land of Flowers, so that farmers will not have no land to cultivate, business travel will be unimpeded everywhere, and all people will have a better life, at least there will be no more hunger!"

After hearing this, Mousse unconsciously felt more and more sympathy for him, because this was the first person besides him who wanted to use the Devil Fruit ability to improve the lives of the people, but his mouth was surprised with a smile:

"People in the world eat devil fruits to improve their combat effectiveness, uncle, that's all you want?"

Then I saw the middle-aged man pointing at Mousse's nose and laughing:

"Little brother, don't fool me, you are obviously very smart, I don't believe you can't think of it, how can a devil fruit that can change the terrain be weak?"

Muston also laughed, and silently complained in his heart: "Don't you know, under the development of a certain weak chicken, that fruit is really weak, so that I am not completely sure whether its ability can really change the terrain......"

Having said that, even if it is well developed, the combat power that that fruit can bring is definitely not the top, especially when the middle-aged man is still so old.

But the latter is extremely enthusiastic about such abilities, and even prefers to sacrifice some combat effectiveness:

"After having combat power, the weight of despicable words will indeed be much heavier, and maybe those guys will be able to listen to my suggestions and opinions. But even if I can get them to listen to me, the power may not be enough to overthrow the rule of the untouched slaves over this country, and I need to win more people's support......"

"We flower people are generally more realistic, before worshiping the gods and Buddhas, we have to ask the spirits first, if I want to win over as many people as possible, I must make a big enough contribution to this country, at least to benefit most of the people in this country......"

"The topography of our country is 'seven mountains, two rivers and one field', although the land is vast, but the arable land is very limited, coupled with frequent disasters, drought and waterlogging, what benefit can be greater than changing the country's topography, water and soil?"

After hearing this, Mousse nodded yes, and then finally remembered to ask the other party's honorific name......

"Don't give your surname Li, Li Dayong, my father gave this name in the hope that I could become a talent who made a great contribution to the country, but I was born weak and couldn't practice martial arts, and there was no force in this country, no one cared when I spoke, I had a little knowledge but couldn't play much role, and I didn't get confused and didn't accomplish anything......"

The middle-aged man replied with a bit of self-deprecation, and then asked Mousse with a playful look on his face:

"What you really want to ask isn't actually the name of the contemptible person, right?"

Mousse nodded slightly awkwardly, probably because the other party was the only university scholar he had seen in his life, and he was a little too careful when he spoke.

In fact, most of the geniuses who are really awesome to the top in the world are already back to the realm of simplicity, and they don't care about those red tape, and Mousse has a life-saving grace for them, and to put it bluntly, there is no need to play guessing games like those literati in the world.

However, because Mousse is a foreigner and even if he has an understanding of the country of flowers, it must be superficial, and the middle-aged man named Li Dayong thinks that before introducing his identity background, he should first briefly explain the history of the country of flowers, especially the history that was banned by the court of cheap slaves:

"Our country of flowers has a long history, although it may be a little worse than Alabastan, but the earliest written records can be traced back to 4,000 years ago, and it is one of the few ancient civilizations in the world."

"Because of the large population and the martial arts of the people, even in the midst of powerful countries (this is according to the usual standards of the pirate world, not compared to the country of flowers. No country in the West China Sea can really threaten our country. ”

"In addition, there is an entire continent under our feet instead of a small island, and the ancient weapons that have destroyed countless countries outside cannot shake the foundation of our country......"

At first, Muston, who was just listening casually, pricked up his ears, "Ancient weapons? Did he know what had happened to that 'blank 100 years'? Or did the country of flowers play an important role in that history? ”

But Li Dayong's answer made Mousse a little disappointed:

"Because we have not been threatened for more than 3,000 years, and because we are a continental country with no interest in the sea, we have lived our lives behind closed doors for a long time, even during the great changes that 900 years ago. So if you ask me what that big change was going on, I can't answer......"

However, Li Dayong's subsequent words immediately focused Mousse's attention instantly:

"I can only tell you what happened after that......"

"Behind closed doors, you can ignore the outside world, but after the great change has come to an end and the world government is established, there is absolutely no room for such a powerful country to exist in the West Sea. And so, the war broke out! ”

"Although our country has a huge army and many strong people, this time it is the malice of the whole world that is coming, how can a country resist it? In the end, we still lost our country, and this is the first time in the history of our country that we have 'lost the world'......"

"The occupation forces of the World Government are doing whatever they want in this land, and it is not known how many Flower Folk have died under their butcher's knives......"

"In addition, after the collapse of order, bandits swarmed and wars raged, and the population of our country dropped sharply from more than 10 million before the war to less than one million in just a dozen years. , which can be seen in its fierceness......"

"However, it is also in such a troubled era that our country ushered in an unprecedented era of martial arts, in the resistance to the invading army and the cannibalism of the people, eight supreme powerhouses were born, and later generations called it 'Eight Dragons', and that cruel years were called 'Eight Dragons Rebellion' by later historians!"
