Chapter 598: Tips on the Breeding of Nagas, Fishmen, and Mermaids

Luke and the others were not in a hurry to leave the island directly. Instead, they strolled around the chaotic Turtle Island and got to know the customs, customs and special products here.

Although Turtle Island as a whole is still in chaos. The pirates may be toasting and drinking one second, and shooting at each other with guns the next second. However, basically all shops will not encounter this kind of thing. Anyone who dares to To rob a store, all he had to do was scream from the people around him who noticed the situation, and then he would be ready to face the wrath of the Whitebeard Pirates and their fleet.

In addition, although the tavern is also an incident-prone area, after the incident is over, these pirates who wake up from their drunkenness will obediently take out money to compensate them for the tables, chairs, benches, wine bottles, oil lamps and so on that they destroyed.

Of course, if they pretend to be stupid and don't want to pay, someone will naturally ask them to take it out.

However, the common currency here is neither the Bailey of the One Piece system, nor the pounds, shillings, and pennies of the Caribbean system, but the monster gold coins of the Dark System.

Even if the fighting world comes and the world merges, most monster units will still drop things like dark gold coins, but depending on the type of monster, the drop method will be slightly different.

For example, killing sea monsters will reveal gold coins from their stomach pouches, while killing pirates will reveal items such as money bags.

But it should be noted that although pirates can also be judged as monster-like creatures, in the monster-like unit, the number of gold coins carried by daily-throwing pirates whose wages, rewards, and gains disappear instantly after they are received may not be as much as the amount of gold coins they carry. Nixiu's Sinking Demons are among the group of beings whose strength is most inconsistent with the number of dropped coins.

However, if the pirates can be intercepted halfway during their voyage, these pirates who have saved their money and plan to return to the human gathering place to spend it may be able to get a lot of gold coins.

Based on this monster coin drop rule, places with some degree of order such as Turtle Island and the neighboring Tsukishima will basically use dark gold coins as their general equivalent, while more disorderly places and items that are too expensive will basically use them. It also returns to the original rule of exchanging things for things...

After all, you can't expect them to use the credits of a human city on a continent they've never had contact with, right?

So regardless of whether it was useful or not, Luke bought all the novel items that could be seen in the store and at the same time started the inspection mode very smoothly.

He was going to check to see if there was anyone here who could be his agent and be responsible for selling the whiteboard items that he had piled up in the warehouse and were almost rotten.

As a typical profession that does not involve production, and it also involves the world view of One Piece, this group of people's consumption of food, drinking water, equipment, etc. is very terrifying, and swords and armor, as the most basic resources, can show a pirate in disguise. of financial resources.

The most valuable items on their bodies are usually the swords and armor in their hands.

This usually refers to the group of pirates at the bottom.

Many times, a good weapon and equipment is even directly linked to life. Occupations like blacksmith usually would not choose to be stationed in a chaotic place like Turtle Island.

Due to the professional characteristics of pirates, almost all of them have mastered the "Viking Power" ability similar to Luke's "Looking for Items" branch, which means that they can ignore the rules for dropping items and props, and directly Steal other people's equipment to use.

Therefore, except for some of the weapons of the Turtle Island pirates that were traded from Tsukishima, the rest were confiscated and robbed from their peers, the navy, and humanoid monsters.

For example, the Nagas who were knocked to the ground by the crew of the Black Pearl had their tridents, staffs and other things in their hands swept away by the scavengers, and even their corpses were followed. Gone.

Not all pirates can afford to go to the tavern to consume brown bread, mashed potatoes, rum, etc.

For some pirates, cannibalism is nothing new. For example, Naga, a large seafood that has just begun to take on a human form, has no psychological burden on them at all.

There are even some people who can't afford money or supplies to go to a brothel, so they will use the upper body of the Naga Siren to rescue them, as long as it has a curvature.

If I had to find a species in the ocean that behaves similarly to them, it would be dolphins.

Hot knowledge, dolphins, as one of the most intelligent species in the general biological community, will bite off the heads of fish and use their bodies as flying cups...

It’s not that the people who picked up the Naga Siren didn’t want to use holes, but the key problem was that the Naga Siren didn’t have the organs they imagined.

By the way, from a reproductive perspective, Nagas are actually similar species to fishmen and mermaids, and their methods of giving birth are basically the same.

They are completely different from humans. Nagas, fishmen, and mermaids are all typical in vitro receptor species.

The females among them will excrete large clusters of fish eggs in advance, and then the males will be responsible for expelling their eggs onto the eggs, in this way they will hatch and give birth to the next generation.

However, these three monsters/magical creatures have also paid a price for their anthropomorphism. The number of offspring that originally produced hundreds, thousands or more of fry has dropped sharply, and the maturation cycle has been significantly longer.

Without the support of refresh rules, the order of the hatching cycles of the three from short to long is Murloc＜Naga＜Mermaid.

As for the records of humans intermarrying with these three species and giving birth to offspring, there has never been one so far.

Let's get back to the point.

The swords in the hands of the lower-level pirates are all junk and consumables. According to market research, the shipment volume of the blacksmiths on Tsukishima is actually very small, or to put it bluntly, most of them are discarded products of the navy, and they are traded to Turtle Island based on the mentality of dealing with junk.

In such a rotten market situation, Luke would be sorry for his huge inventory if he didn't go for it, not to mention that the enthusiasm of the pirates at this moment has been driven by the news he deliberately leaked.

There will definitely be a wave of material purchases later.

But before that, Luke still needs to investigate the situation on Tsukishima on the spot. After all, his behavior is equivalent to touching the interests of Whitebeard and the unknown navy at the same time.

In addition, there is another reason why Luke is going to Tsukishima, that is, he doesn't trust Barbossa at all. When the Black Pearl set sail, Luke had already located the dolphin beast who stayed near Tsukishima in advance.

The so-called deal with the Black Pearl was just a means for him to attract the attention of the navy and confirm Jack's specific location. Luke must get the "compass that can't point south" himself.

The reason is simple. Once Barbossa gets the compass, it will point to what he desires most, that is, the location of the Aztec gold coin or two bills, and Luke's bargaining chip will be invalid in disguise.

Luke also hopes that he can use the method of fanning the flames to make the Black Pearl and the Flying Dutchman confront each other later~

So after the preliminary investigation of Turtle Island was completed and the giant whale beast was sensed to be in a static state, Luke first glanced at the surrounding hidden places with a strange smile, and then led people into the corner of the cave.

When the observers hurriedly caught up, they found that Luke and his group had all disappeared.
