One Piece: Start Collecting Nicolo

And even though their economic development has stagnated for thirty years, they are still considered a developed country.

Because of different national conditions, our country is a developing country, but resources are very abundant and human resources are very cheap, so some things that seem very cheap to us are actually very expensive in Japan, and some things that seem expensive to us are even more expensive there, or unexpectedly cheap.

It’s like how Chinese people can’t understand why a round watermelon can be sold at a price of hundreds of thousands of RMB, because the watermelons grown on the sandy slopes of the northwest are bigger than piglets, so sweet that they can make your teeth choke, and only cost a few cents per pound in the summer.

This kind of regional difference can also be seen in China. For example, prices in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou are high because their urban development has entered the level of developed countries, and wages are generally higher than other places. Although not much higher, they are indeed high.

I can also see the distribution of readers and subscription levels in each province in the background, and can also see the economic level and personal qualities of readers in different regions from certain aspects... Guangdong has the most subscriptions and the least trolls (whispering)

Back to the topic, the Berry in One Piece is benchmarked against the Japanese yen, but its purchasing power is also based on Japanese society. Remember, it is purchasing power.

And based on the purchasing power of the Japanese Yen between the 1990s and 2000s, the purchasing power was quite strong, but the cost of resources and labor was high. As for large items like vehicles and ships...they are actually too expensive here (_)

A copy of World Economic News costs 100 berries, which is equivalent to 5 yuan in RMB. Nami said it was originally 50 berries, which can be regarded as 2.5 yuan, which basically fits the historical background of Japan at that time, including rising prices.

However, some things that are supposed to be expensive, such as devil fruits starting at 1 million and large swords costing tens of millions, are indeed not reasonable.

Personally, I think the reason is that Oda at that time was just a... uh... what is commonly known as a loser, and he didn't have much knowledge. However, apart from these things, his purchasing power for other things in the original plot is still normal.

So after careful consideration, I decided that the main character's assets were 100 billion, which can be understood as the domestic coal bosses worth tens of billions. If you have too much, it is easy to become a pig, and if you have too little, you will have no influence and no one will pay attention to you.

In terms of assets, half of the company's revenue after tax must be deducted from reserves and cash flow, and the rest must be used for worker expenses, shareholder dividends, and relationship management. Finally, the main character's income is obtained. Even if the company has a net income of 10 billion yuan a year, the actual amount received may be less than 1 billion yuan. Compared with the collection system, which is a golden finger, this part of the income can be almost ignored.

In addition to the buff of resources, I gave the protagonist the label of a business star, a man who controls endless resources. You can understand him as a tycoon in the resource industry. He has a wide range of connections and can get any resources. He has a certain influence in the field of mineral resources. It doesn't mean that he has unified the East China Sea business circle.

So some readers understand that this is a super rich man, this is a pure pig, I really can’t do anything about it!

Some people say if I were Doflamingo, I would enslave you! I say, don't be so mean to Doflamingo, he's in a business with no capital investment, he can earn tens of millions per slave, it's all pure profit.

Who did they sell the captured slaves to? Which group did they earn the money from? Where did they invest the money?

There are so many paths in life, but why did he choose the poorest one, crossing the Grand Line and running to Luoge Town in the East China Sea to rob an industrial mine owner? And then offend all the financial backers and clients, and destroy his own reputation?

Are you sick? Isn't that right?

I can even imagine the mental state of this person when he said this. Perhaps it was the moment his parents deducted his pocket money, and he realized the truth of the jungle in this world. He usually laughs and jokes, but once angered, he is like a deep and dark demon, and everyone will suffer his terrible wrath...

I can understand teenagers saying this. Who hasn’t experienced middle school?

But I still have this idea when I’m in my twenties. Instead of reading novels, I should really use my brain first.

To be honest, I had thought about the issue of net worth when I first started setting the standards. After all, I am an author, and I have basically anticipated the complaints that readers may have.

But after thinking carefully about the protagonist's conditions: a real enterprise, engaged in resource mining, not only did he not get the head, but he also had resources hanging, a reward of tens of millions of yuan for his combat power, and his net worth was only that of a local coal boss, and he was in the East China Sea...

Considering that Capone Becky was able to unify the West Sea underworld before going out to sea, it doesn't seem like there's any problem.

I thought some people would think that the price is too high, or too low, that the protagonist's strength is getting stronger or weaker, and I don't know the setting of the comparison between Berry and the Japanese yen, that having money can't get a devil fruit or something, but...

What do you mean you don't know what a business is? Assets equal capital?

Listen, oil...

A man can be naive and poor, but he must have seen pigs run before he has eaten pork, otherwise he will always be naive and poor. There are some things or rules that you may not be willing to accept or understand, but it is undeniable that their existence is an objective fact that will not change no matter how angry or yelling you are.

This can be considered as a subtle response to those troll readers.

To put it bluntly: If you are inexperienced, you should read more. The world never revolves around you.

Don't say you're talking about the reality of the pirate world. When you criticize me, aren't you playing the reality logic of the survival of the fittest very well? After all, I followed the laws of corporate operation to determine the protagonist's background. What are you criticizing me for? The master's orders?

I've been holding it in for so many days and I really can't hold it in any longer. I have to get rid of this anger today!

Sorry for the delay in updating, I'm working hard on the update!

Chapter 60 A fateful encounter

The next day, noon.

The bright sunshine fell, and Caesar slowly opened his eyes as he was attacked from both sides by two pairs of soft thunders.

Feeling the warmth of the smooth skin on both sides, Caesar silently clasped his hands together.

Amitabha…

Great God of Time Travel, thank you for your kindness and generosity for bringing me to this beautiful world. I would like to send my most sincere blessings to this beautiful world!

Amen…

"Um...honey are you awake?"

Baby5 rubbed his sleepy eyes and slowly stood up: "Sorry, I got up late, I'll go prepare breakfast now!"

"do not want!"

A white and slender arm reached out to Caesar and held baby5 down.

Yamato put his left leg on Caesar, with a hint of crystal at the corner of his mouth, and smiled: "I want to eat what Caesar cooks!"

"Is it possible that there is a chef in the mansion?"

"No! I want to eat what Caesar makes! What Caesar makes will glow!"

Yamato hugged Caesar tightly, rubbed Caesar's cheek lightly, and knocked Caesar's head with his devil horns.

"You don't do anything serious every day, just cook for you, right? Get up quickly!"

Caesar raised his hand and slapped the perky breast, then sat up.

Yamato then climbed up, supported himself on the quilt with his hands, and moved closer to Caesar. Da Lei was shaky: "I want to eat the Sukiyaki you made!"

"No, onee-sama!"

Baby5 also came over and gently took Yamato's arm. "How can you let your dear bother with something like this? Let me do it for you!"

"No, I just want to eat what Caesar made!"

Yamato kept moving closer to Caesar, and Baby5 pulled him aside.

Looking at the holy light shining in front of him, Caesar felt as if he was in another world.

Just like Robin said, he actually has two such innocent girls!

What's with the idea of ​​a couple living together? There's no need to think about it at all. After the banquet, the two of them spontaneously got together. Thinking about last night, it was really...

Wuhu!

“I feel refreshed, I feel refreshed!”

Caesar stretched and pulled out a recipe from somewhere, handing it to Baby5. "Since you're so willing, I'll teach you the secret recipe! When we put to sea, you'll be the ship's chef!"

“Hi~~”

Baby5 happily took the recipe and held it high up, as if he had obtained something invaluable.

"What about me, Caesar? What about me, me?"

Yamato looked at Caesar eagerly: "What kind of job am I responsible for?"

"Yamato will be the battle captain!"

Caesar said cheerfully, "From now on, all the combatants will be under your charge. How about that, combat captain?"

"Yes, sir!"

Yamato saluted Caesar like the navy in the comics, with a smile on his face.

Immediately she threw herself on Caesar again: "Caesar, how long will it take before we can go out to sea?"

"almost…"

Caesar patted the smooth jade-like back and spoke gently.

Compared to going out to sea, the biggest problem at the moment is that as his strength increases, there are no suitable opponents around him to serve as sparring partners.

Yamato is strong enough, but Caesar just can't bring himself to do anything to that face.

Fighting at the level of the Three Disasters can satisfy one’s needs, but it cannot help one break through oneself any further and can only serve as daily physical exercise.

And if you look for Kaido...

I believe that no matter how stupid the other party is, he will not serve as a sparring partner for me during this period of time. If a fight really breaks out, it will be a life-and-death battle.

To be honest, facing Kaido at this point in time, he couldn't help but feel a little scared.

Fortunately, his physical strength continued to grow. The only thing Caesar could do was to eat more, sleep more, and keep training.

Since you can't calm down, then turn it into motivation for practice and raise the value!

As long as you can't practice to death, practice to death!

After breakfast and finishing his daily battle with Yamato, Caesar went to the outskirts.

A huge seastone cube with a side length of five meters appeared out of thin air in front of him. Caesar took a deep breath and dug his hands on the bottom of the seastone.

A feeling of powerlessness instantly spread throughout his body, but fortunately, because of wearing seastone products for a long time, Caesar had become more or less accustomed to it.

"Get up...for me!"

With a light shout, hundreds of tons of seastone were lifted up.

Caesar laughed loudly, threw his hands hard, and then raised his arms.

The boulder turned over gently, Caesar sank down, caught it steadily, and then slowly and firmly did a squat.

One, two, three...

One hundred, two hundred, three hundred...

Sweat slid down my jawline, and a day passed in the blink of an eye.

The second day, the third day, the fourth day...

Squats, long runs, push-ups, or even using seastone as a punching target...

Day after day, week after week.

Half a month later, Caesar calmed down.

He found that his attention was becoming more focused and his willpower was becoming stronger. Even when faced with the double embrace of Yamato and baby5, he could still get up at seven o'clock every day without fail.

With daily training, Caesar gradually felt a kind of beauty called numbers!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The unprotected fist hit the seastone hard. Days of beating did not change the stone, but Caesar himself gradually underwent a drastic change!

As his will became more concentrated, Caesar found that his use of Armament Haki became more and more fluent and more and more in line with his will.

By compressing the shock wave released by the Armament Haki, it reaches the size of an ordinary house. The slash released by rubbing the Armament Haki can easily cut through steel with a single stroke.

In addition, through the extreme training method of foreseeing the future at all times, Caesar discovered that his observation Haki seemed to have changed again.

He found that he seemed to be able to vaguely sense the target's inner thoughts and emotions.

And occasionally, for a few moments, Caesar felt that he seemed to be able to arouse the emotions of his target, such as making Yamato, who was already in high spirits, even more crazy...

There is no doubt that this is an extension of the Kōbunshūki technique - mind reading!

Not only can it read minds, it can also resonate with emotions.

In the original story, Princess Otohime of Fishman Island seems to have this ability.

Overall, the sense of quietness this time is completely different from the previous sense of transparency.

If I were to say the feeling last time, it was that I had opened up the body's authority, enabled dodge and prediction.

This time, Caesar felt like he had truly reached the maximum level, completely mastered this body, and integrated every movement into instinct!

boom--

Caesar kicked the boulder away and breathed a sigh of relief in the afterglow of the setting sun.

After wiping the sweat running down his cheeks, he paused slightly and looked in a certain direction with a sense of meaning.

There, a bear-eared man with a strong build and about the same height as Kaido was staring at him quietly.

The man was wearing a huge cloak, holding an airtight small cage in one hand and a piece of life paper in the fingertips of the other hand. The edge of the paper was slightly bent towards Caesar, as if guiding something.

"This is truly... a fateful encounter!"

Caesar smiled, a bright and warm smile with a sense of intimacy, which made the giant in front of him feel a little relieved.
