"Absalom, I have a personal question for you. What is the production volume of those potions?"
In the flower street of the Flower City, Quinn sat next to Absalom and asked a question.
"That's all. I've already answered that question."
"Boy, although you are following Orlan now, I have known him much longer than you.
I have an idea of this. That idiot Caesar would say one is ten, but Oran is different.
What he said is just a fraction at best. You should be able to continue to expand the production of this medicine, right?"
Although Absalom insisted that this was the limit of productivity on Firefly Island, Quinn didn't believe it at all. In fact, Quinn was not wrong.
Give a few in the first year, a little more in the second year, and raise the price in the third year with reasons such as expanding production requires more investment, rising costs leading to price increases, etc.
In transactions like this, Orlan is a complete "black-hearted businessman". When he occupies a monopoly position, he acts arbitrarily in many things.
As long as the price is within a reasonable range, it will not cause too much protest. The key is how to grasp this degree.
As an old acquaintance, Quinn is very familiar with this method, and this method can also be used to defraud funds.
Yes, Caesar is not the only one who can defraud funds. This can even be considered a traditional skill of MADS.
Whether it's Judge and Quinn, or Vegapunk and Orlan, they all do this sometimes.
The difference lies in the results they produce. Oran and his team require investors to spend a higher price to get what they want, while Caesar only spends money but does nothing, which eventually makes the investors so angry that they want to kill him.
Absalom was still too young, and he still revealed some things under Quinn's intentional or unintentional questioning.
However, Quinn did not expose Absalom's intention. Quinn just wanted to confirm the situation so as to completely consolidate his position.
Then Absalom saw a unique performance.
Others come to Flower Street simply to have fun, but Quinn is different, he himself is the fun.
When he was drunk, he even started to show off his singing, dancing and rap skills. That is to say, Onigashima has not been built yet and the power of the Beasts Pirates is not great, otherwise he would have held a golden celebration.
Today's Kaido is no longer the emperor of the sea who was known as the strongest creature. He can even be regarded as a newcomer who entered the New World not long ago.
Whitebeard and Golden Lion are the biggest forces outside. The rest are pirates like Wang Zhi and BIG·MOM who occupy a large territory, plus big pirates like Roger and Redfield who have no fixed territory. These people are monsters at this point in time.
Red Hair and Buggy are still trainees, and Blackbeard is still serving as Whitebeard's son. Although the great pirate era has not yet arrived, this sea is not peaceful at all.
Two days later, Absalom set out on his return journey with the boxes of seastone.
The two potions given to Kaido were trial packs and did not require payment. The batch Absalom brought back was a deposit.
After several years of training and transformation with potions, Absalom's body has been significantly enhanced.
Seastone itself has a very high density, and this batch of seastone is not very large in volume. Absalom also specially asked them to pack it into a long box and stuff it into Oran's book to complete the storage process.
Although seastone can restrain Devil Fruit users, the creations of Devil Fruit users are different. When this thing is created out of thin air, it becomes a real object.
Seastone relies on its own hardness to deal with these creatures, and cannot produce such a significant effect on ability users. This is also the characteristic of creature-type devil fruits.
The voyage was relatively smooth, and it was this relationship that allowed those people in the underground world to survive.
They maintain friendly relations with most forces, and these forces also need to trade in order to maintain a delicate balance.
In the royal city of Firefly Island, several people were practicing as usual. Strength will not come to you out of thin air. In addition to the direct enhancement brought by external objects such as devil fruits, training is an indispensable part.
Frankenstein and Kate even fought fiercely, and Frankenstein's body was slightly damaged, but Frankenstein didn't care too much.
Among his many sparring partners, Frankenstein's favorite is Kate.
Because of the difference in power form, Kate is the best fit for Frankenstein to absorb energy and restore his body.
Normally, they would spar for a whole morning, and then Frankenstein would use his abilities to repair his body, and then maintain 100% power to do other things.
But Kate would become sweaty from the battle.
They are not the only ones training, Xiong and Brand are also doing similar things.
In terms of hard power, the Bears can unilaterally crush Brand.
Whether it is the physique and strength of the Bakanni people or the ability of the Meat-Glob Fruit, Brand is no match for Bear. Even if he drives a mecha, it is difficult to make up for the gap.
But in terms of skills, Brand is much better than Xiong.
During the sixteen years that pirates have ruled this place, Brand has been trying to resist, and the fighting skills he has honed are not beautiful, but they are definitely practical.
Ginny will also train with them. Although she is more inclined towards intelligence personnel, intelligence personnel in this sea will also face battles and must at least have a certain ability to protect themselves.
"Dad, it's time for today's training. Have you found a coach for me?"
"Don't worry, I guarantee this is the right coach for you."
Orlan continued to write and draw in his notebook. He was not very good at economic matters, as it was different from being a king.
To be precise, it's easy to be a king on this sea.
As long as you can fight and occupy a piece of territory, you can become the so-called king. As long as the system is acceptable, the rule can be maintained. It just depends on how far you can develop.
But the monetary system is different. Bailey is a very magical currency in this ocean. If you have to say what it is linked to, it is probably linked to Morgans' newspapers.
In a sense, Morgans' newspapers can also be regarded as general equivalents.
Bailey is the mainstream currency on the ocean. In addition, more closed places like Wano Country and Sky Island have their own currencies, and the World Government does not take these things seriously.
It's just currency, not some historical text, Nika, Joyboy, etc. It doesn't mean anything.
Piltover is not a member state, but it is somewhat special. The circulation of Bailey will definitely not be directly abandoned. At most, some new currencies will be added, such as gold coins.
This is a slow project, but Orlan is not in a hurry. Instead, he started to develop his own book field first.
Leliana's sparring partner is actually Orlan. To be more precise, it is a fake sparring partner created by Orlan in the book world using the power of the Book-Book Fruit.
After eating the devil fruit, Leliana's training now includes training her fruit abilities.
The Azure Dragon Fruit has great potential. Skills like Flame Cloud and Dragon Breath are basic abilities that can be obtained once eaten, but it takes time to master them.
And the ones who understand dragon people the best are naturally dragon people themselves.
In Orlan's book world, Orlan himself is God. Here, the rules are made by him, and illusion and reality are only a thought away.
But training is a special case, and only real combat can have a sufficient effect.
Only things that Orlan truly understands can be created in his own book in a closer-to-original manner, with some of his own expertise.
Oran didn't know Kaido's exact level, nor did he understand the way he wielded the mace, so Leliana's sparring partner had nothing to do with Kaido, but with someone else.
In front of Leliana, a woman with purple skin gradually took shape.
She seemed to have a helmet on her head, and the special scales even formed a continuous piece of armor. It was not equipment, but a part of her body.
"Are you ready, Riley? This is your sparring partner for the time being."
Orlan adjusted the other person's body shape slightly so that she and Leliana had a proportional body shape, which would facilitate better training.
"I'm ready."
"You can call her Shyvana. She is an old friend of mine. She has similar abilities to you, and you can learn some of them."
Strictly speaking, Shyvana is not a human being, but a special elemental dragon.
Yes, she is not an elemental dragon like Terra, but an elemental dragon of pure blood, and also a "filial daughter".
The elemental dragons have not left Rune Continent, and dragons still survive in some sparsely populated areas.
This thing is a priceless treasure in human society, and Oran is also very interested in it.
However, finding dragon eggs is more difficult than looking for devil fruits in this ocean. In the end, Orlan only found a dragon egg through a deal with Qiyana.
Countless people who tried to steal the eggs died under the dragon's fiery breath, but one person succeeded, and the egg he stole was Shyvana.
Before a suitable buyer was found, the dragon egg hatched prematurely, but it turned out not to be a dragon, but a purple human baby girl.
The human wizard who stole the dragon egg found that he could not bear to abandon her, so he raised the baby girl as his own child and named her "Syvana".
This is to pay tribute to her biological mother, the Dark Legend - Iva, the adult dragon.
However, there is some kind of magical connection between Iva and Shyvana. Even if there is a sea between them, Iva can still find Shyvana's trace.
Shyvana has many brothers and sisters. It was not until they were able to survive on their own that Iva crossed the ocean to seek revenge.
The human mage who stole Shyvana and was also Shyvana's adoptive father died under the angry dragon flames, but Iva did not feel any guilt or nostalgia for his daughter.
As an elemental dragon, his offspring are actually half-human, half-dragon monsters.
Iva was not happy to find his daughter. He just felt that Shyvana had tarnished the bloodline of the elemental dragons and wanted to kill her.
But in the end, Ivar was killed by Jarvan IV, the prince of Demacia, whom he met while fleeing together with Shyvana.
Shyvana has truly become a warrior girl with dragon blood flowing in her veins and bathing in dragon blood.
From then on, Shyvana followed Jarvan IV and became a member of Demacia.
Shyvana knew very well how dragonmen should fight.
"Let's get started. You have one hour. Do whatever you want."
Maintaining this training ground is also a way to train Oran. After all, Shyvana herself does not exist. Creating a Shyvana in the book and letting her fight to her heart's content will also consume Oran's physical strength.
From this perspective, this training is exercising the physical strength of two people at the same time.
After putting on her brass knuckles, Leliana directly entered the dragon form. Seeing that Shyvana was standing there without any movement, she chose to attack first.
But Shyvana used the scales on her wrist to block Leliana's fist from an unexpected angle, then lowered her body and kicked Leliana's lower body.
Leliana's fighting style basically relies on her great strength. Although she has learned some moves that suit her, she does not have too many combat systems. Her fighting style mainly comes from the one that Sett derived from the black boxing ring.
Shyvana's fighting skills come from the battlefield, which is quite different from the fighting style in the black boxing ring.
Sett's black fist still needs to consider the aesthetics, but Shyvana's moves are all aimed at taking lives.
The collision of scales would occasionally produce sparks, and Leliana was also learning some of Shyvana's skills in the process.
As the battle continued, a powerful and scorching aura emanated from Shyvana's body. Flames swirled around her body, and every punch she threw was burned with flames.
"Can dragon scales bear flames?"
Looking at the changes in Shyvana's body, Leliana seemed to have thought of something, and then mobilized the power in her body and tried to imitate the other party's behavior.
Flames emerged from the corners of her mouth, but instead of spraying forward, they spread along her body.
After all, they were in training, and seeing that Leliana seemed to have understood something, Shyvana stopped what she was doing.
However, there are differences between races. Leliana can transform from a human into a dragon because she ate a devil fruit, while Shyvana is originally a dragon, but accidentally acquired the form of a dragonman.
It is much easier to simply release the explosive flame than to carefully control the flame, and the erratic flame ultimately failed to take shape.
After trying several times, Leliana finally changed her mind. She did not try to keep the flames storm on her whole body like Shyvana, but instead concentrated the strength on her fists.
His right hand still held the brass knuckles, but on his empty left fist, a flaming glove similar to Shyvana's Dragonfang Gauntlet was condensed.
"Dad, I did it!"
The Blue Dragon Fruit itself can do this, and Kaido's Fire Dragon Torch also works on the same principle. Leliana indirectly achieved this by imitating Shyvana's raging fire.
Although the flame state is only maintained locally, perhaps this move can be called a fire fist?
