Who are you to me?
Li Ke was stunned for a moment, and then his arm felt the other person's soft body and those words without any doubt.
"He's my new boyfriend! Do you have any objections?"
I knew it.
Listening to these cliche words, Li Ke wanted to break free from the other party's shackles, and then directly twist off the head of this guy who seemed to be a fish-kissing fish man, and then destroy the Aaron Pirates.
Even if he would have to lie in bed for a month because of muscle soreness, he would admit it.
Because the guy who just hit himself with water, his attack method was to spit! Li Ke felt sick just thinking about it, let alone being hit.
"Chirp?"
The fish-man named Jiu couldn't help scratching his head, and he looked at Kenogao with some doubts.
"But the problem is that I've never seen him here before? Even if he is a boyfriend, he shouldn't be so quick, right?"
Although he discriminates against humans, he will still give Keno some dignity. After all, Nami is an important part of their pirate group. If Nami hadn't discovered all the conditions in the nearby sea, they could easily use the sea. If the navy here is killed, it will be difficult for them to completely control the nearby islands.
After all, there are too few murlocs here, and they cannot compare with humans who have many people. Without using Nami, their dominance would not be so strong.
So they have special preferential treatment for Nami, as well as Nami's family.
In fact, if the Aaron Pirates hadn't needed to establish rules at that time, and Nami hadn't shown her ability to make maps, Aaron wouldn't have killed their mother Bellemere, but would have been like now, At the cost of Kenogao's and their lives, Nami would work for him.
It's not like buying a village, so as long as it's not something excessive or a blatant violation of the rules, they will turn a blind eye.
So the fish-man who was defeated by Usopp, the King of Despair in the original work, pretended to be casual and spoke.
"The people from the Chamber of Commerce have been gone for a long time, right? And I haven't heard of you falling in love. You can't be some bounty hunter pretending to be, right? You are the family of our important companion, but you will become a target."
Li Ke sneered and wanted to tell the other party that he was a bounty hunter and that he came here to get Aaron's head and kill you racists by the way. Kenoga also saw his sneer and wanted to speak. idea.
So the moment Li Ke opened his mouth, Qinogao slapped Li Ke hard on the lower back.
Li Ke, who had already recovered from the cramps, opened his eyes wide and lay on the table, twitching continuously. The strong pain and cramps caused by the pain, as well as the chain cramps all over the body, directly made him unable to move. The momentum and master's style were naturally disintegrated.
"You...woman..."
Li Ke looked at Qinuo Gao who retracted his hand as if nothing had happened. He felt tens of thousands of mmp in his heart, but he just couldn't express it. He now feels that the Karina he captured before is not as hateful as this Kenogao. If there is a chance, he must make her cry like Karina.
Qinogao felt that he had saved Li Ke's life. Regardless of whether Li Ke was a bounty hunter or not, if there was a conflict with Aaron's crew here, then it would be natural to provoke Aaron.
Even if this guy who calls himself a bounty hunter is very strong, can he really fight after being injured like this? Looking at Li Ke, who was lying on the table and almost drooling in pain, Qinogao smiled disdainfully.
"Have you ever seen such a bounty hunter? This guy just heard that the oranges here are very good, so he came here to try his luck. I saw that he was quite cute, so I dated him for a while, okay?"
The fish-man named Jiu looked at the twitching Li Ke and nodded, spitting the water stored in his mouth to the side, and then nodded, agreeing with what Chenogao said. But he looked at Li Ke's face, which was distorted by cramps all over his body, and hesitated before speaking.
"It's really incomprehensible to humans that you are interested in such an ugly guy."
Damn it!
For a moment, Li Ke wanted to break through the seal and give the guy named Jiu a breath of confession, and then cut him into thin slices of fish.
But his willingness to lay a solid foundation is still much higher than a temporary dispute of temper.
"That's my own business, right? So just leave if you have nothing to do. This is my own family matter."
Seeing that Jiu had no intention of pursuing the matter further, Chenogao began to see the guests off.
"Then don't forget the protection fee. Although this guy is just your random date, the rules are the rules. I can hide it from Aaron for a while at most. If you don't go, even if you are Nami's sister, I won't I will show mercy."
Jiu didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but he still reminded him that even if he was Nami's sister's boyfriend, if he didn't pay according to the rules, he would only die.
After all, they are an inferior race.
"Hey, you don't need to remind me."
Kenogao looked unhappy, and then walked aside to clean up the broken glass. But when Li Ke barely recovered from the cramp, what he saw was an empty road, so the fishman named Jiu had obviously gone away.
Just when he was about to chase him out, Chenogao came over from the back kitchen carrying a basket of oranges, put the oranges in front of Li Ke, and then sat there with a sigh.
"This is too bad. I'm afraid you won't be able to leave, so you'd better have money and know how to order something, otherwise I won't be able to take you in."
Qinogao looked at Li Ke and pointed to the town on one side.
"You should have heard that in the place ruled by Aaron, as long as one person cannot pay the money, then the entire village or town will die. This was how everyone in Stone Town was killed some time ago, and no one was killed. As a survivor, I don’t want everyone here to die because of you.”
She said it quite ruthlessly, without any awareness of blocking the gun for someone she didn't know just now, but Li Ke, who originally planned to kill Aaron directly, stopped and looked at Kenogao curiously.
"Were everyone killed in Stone Town?"
"certainly."
"...How much do you have to pay per month?"
"One hundred thousand for adults and fifty thousand for children. If a person cannot take it out, he will die. Hiding weapons secretly or attacking Aaron is rebellion, and almost everyone in the village will be killed."
Li Ke fell silent after hearing this. Judging from his experience during this period, one hundred Baileys is roughly the purchasing power of six yuan of soft sister coins. In other words, one hundred thousand Baileys is almost six thousand yuan, while for children, Three thousand dollars. If you are a family of three, you will basically have to pay 12,000 yuan every month.
What is this concept?
If your family’s monthly income is 12,000 yuan, then all your family’s work for a month is for Aaron. And this is in modern times when life is extremely rich. In the world of One Piece, earning this Money will only become more difficult.
And the most important thing is that most of the people at the bottom of this world live on farming. How much money can you make by farming?
“How much do people around you make?”
Li Ke casually picked up an orange and peeled it, asking Kenogao on the side.
"My words are better. You can make hundreds of thousands a year by selling oranges or growing other things. The people in this town are about the same as me. Why, do you want to find a job here? That's very difficult, isn't it? Everyone is like me, free from worries and owns a large orange grove.”
Kenoga sighed slightly, how much money could she have as a fruit grower, not to mention the extra money she had to save for Nami so that she could be more relaxed.
Putting the sour orange into his mouth, Li Ke shook his head. He had no intention of working here, but was going to go directly to promote Aaron.
This kind of setting up rules and collecting protection fees seems to be better than those pirates who just make a profit and run away. What kind of rules do they pay attention to? But scum are scum, and Li Ke doesn't care whether they were forced or deliberately retaliated.
It is true that fishmen are persecuted in the world of One Piece. Even the now majestic Aaron was once enslaved by humans as a slave. It is understandable that the other party fights humans for revenge. But when revenge affects innocent people and there is no repentance at all, then he is actually no different from the scum who enslaved him.
"No, I just want to ask for one hundred beli like you, that's all I have."
Li Ke stood up. He endured the pain in his body and stretched out his hand to Kenogao without any embarrassment at all. Qinogao looked at Li Ke, then at his still trembling body, and chuckled.
She felt that Li Ke was frightened and knew that the other party would not challenge the murloc casually again, so she casually took out one hundred Baileys from her pocket and threw it in front of Li Ke.
"You don't have to pay it back, but if you really have no money, you can come to my place to help me take care of the orange orchard. If you go to work elsewhere, you won't have enough money."
Li Ke's body looks very strong. As long as he heals his injuries, he will be a strong laborer. Chenogao feels that after hiring him, as long as the other party is not lazy, he will be able to grow more things. Then the other party's commission will naturally not be What's the problem.
After all, you can't save someone and then watch the other person get killed because you have no money, right?
"Of course, why would I provoke a fishman?"
Li Ke smiled and took the coin, but his movements still froze because his waist cramped again.
"Haha, it's impossible looking at you now."
Kenugao laughed happily, she seemed to always have a smile on her face. Li Ke was somewhat moved when he saw the other person's smile, so he asked after reluctantly standing up.
"Let me tell you, Miss Kenogao, if I want to be your lover, what do I need to do?"
Li Ke really likes Kenogao's character. This cheerful big sister feeling is really refreshing. And the best part is, she's a good person.
This is also the reason why Li Ke likes these plot characters, because even if people in the real world will change, the fact that the other person is a good person will basically not change much.
"Haha, are you fascinated by me? Since you are barely handsome and have a very cute personality, when will you become a stable and handsome man, how about I date you, sister? After all, I do sometimes I long for a man who can solve all my troubles."
There was a smile on Chenogao's face when he said the first half, but he felt a little sad in the second part. After all...
There is no hope for the village ruled by Aaron.
Li Ke can also understand the other party's sadness, because with such a high protection fee, basically no one will have any additional ideas.
After all, giving birth to and raising children was a hugely expensive project in that era. If Aaron hadn't come, girls like Kenogao would have had a lot of suitors long ago, and they might even have children. .
But with such a high protection fee, Li Ke would know how many tragedies there would be just by thinking about it.
What happens to the elderly who lose their ability to earn money? What will happen to newlyweds who have just gotten married and want to have a baby but are struggling to make ends meet. If the baby is born and the entire family dies, what will happen to the newlyweds?
When being bullied by a murloc or being killed because he has no money, he wants to resist, but resisting a murloc will cause the whole village to be killed, so do people exist who are held down by their own villagers and relatives?
These may not be reflected in the comics, but in the real One Piece world, this is almost inevitable.
"That's what you said. I'm going to get my money right now, and then I'll show you a calm and handsome me."
Li Ke just smiled, pointed his forehead with his index finger and middle finger at Kenugao as a farewell, and then walked out of the door of Kenugao's house holding the hundred pieces of Bailey.
Knowing this, he has no interest in waiting for Nami here. He first kills all the fishmen here, and then kidnaps and kidnaps his sister. Then he leaves a message saying that he doesn't want his niece to come to him after seeing her in a year. The little thieving cat will also look for him directly.
But the result is still the same. As long as the thief cat dares to get on his ship, he has one hundred and eight ways to prevent her from getting off the ship.
In addition, Kenogo gave him a really good feeling. If he was really in this pirate world, he might really need such a kind and trustworthy person to be his back-up.
So his previous question was serious.
But before that, it would be better for these fishmen who enslave others to die cleanly.
So after Li Ke left the confines of the Kenogao family, he walked towards the territory of the fish-man Aaron that he had heard about in the past few days. Although his body was still not fully recovered, as long as he entered a fighting state, what would happen? It's all about finishing the battle.
Li Ke can feel this clearly. His body is far more adaptable to fighting than him.
However, just as he was about to walk out of a dense forest, the perception of crisis caused him to turn his head, and then a water bullet grazed his cheek and rushed out, shattering a big tree in front of him.
When he turned his head, he saw the long-mouthed fish-man from before, as well as several strange-shaped fish-men beside him.
"You are indeed not a simple guy. That guy from Chenogao actually dared to lie to me."
The other party looked at Li Ke seriously, filled with murderous intent, so in response, Li Ke also released his own murderous intent, but in this world, his murderous intent seemed to have changed.
Under the impact of his murderous intent, the fish-man with a long mouth froze on the spot, while the two strange-looking guys beside him rolled their eyes and fainted on the ground.
