The farce of the Big Mom Pirates had come to an end, and Finn woke from his dream with visions of the future splendor of Peace Island.
What he didn't know was that a deliberate plot in secret had led Peace Island onto a completely different path.
"…"
Finn stood on the high observation tower and looked around.
Roger had expanded the farmland again based on the idea that 'I can do without eating, but I can't live without planting.'
Except for the special red fruit that Finn had planted at the beginning, the production of all other grains, vegetables, and fruits had more than tripled.
Due to the special soil conditions of Peace Island, the food here would always remain absolutely fresh as long as it was not picked, so Finn let him do whatever he wanted.
On the outskirts of the island, with half of the members of the BIG MOM Pirates working as laborers, Finn simply had them build a huge high wall of stones around the three connected islands.
Except for the port and two recreational sandy beach entrances, the rest of the area was blocked by high walls.
Even the Green Island Zoo and the Dead Island Adventure Base could only be accessed from the main island.
This would allow tourists to have multiple opportunities to dine or rest on the main island after their visit.
It also made it easier for Finn to earn more money.
Outside the main island, the members of the BIG MOM Pirates did not dare to stop for a moment.
To complete Finn's requirement of a 100-meter-high wall, everyone dug a 20-meter-deep foundation around the entire main island.
Everyone here was a pirate with a bounty of over 100 million. If they were in other places, no one would have thought they had such a hardworking side.
Sweat was dripping down everyone's face, not from fatigue but from fear.
Charlotte Linlin's departure had made them lose their last backbone. Although the three Sweet Commanders were all there, they still could not bear the huge psychological pressure.
Because on a high platform in the distance, the Redfield, who once dominated the sea, was serving tea and water to a cute little bird, acting as an overseer.
The Redfield didn't even need to give any orders; everyone worked hard because they knew that no one would dare be lazy in front of Lord Pika.
Suddenly, the originally leisurely Pika flashed away, and Finn was gradually approaching under the platform.
When the members of the Big Mom Pirates saw the owner of Devil Island appear, they worked even more efficiently.
Some even started digging up the sand with their hands after their shovels broke, for fear that Finn would be unhappy.
"**Pika**, so you're here too. Redfield, you continue watching. Pika and I will just take a stroll."
"Don't worry, sir." The Redfield saluted respectfully and did not look away until Finn and Pika disappeared.
"…"
On the coast, at the port, the three Sweet Commanders were renovating the port buildings.
Charlotte Cracker looked around and cautiously approached Charlotte Katakuri.
"Is there really no way?"
Charlotte Katakuri shook his head, recalling the scene he had seen before.
To resist was to perish.
Countless demons devoured the entire BIG MOM Pirates in an instant.
All people were made into dolls, their souls imprisoned forever, with no end, just eternal torment as dolls.
It was the future he saw in that moment that made him give up resistance without hesitation.
The demons on this island could not be dealt with by passion and numbers alone.
"Be careful, someone is coming." Charlotte Smoothie, who had been keeping watch in the distance, took a quick glance. Although she couldn't see the person clearly, she knew it was definitely not a member of their pirate group.
Finn's figure gradually approached, and he nodded at the three people who were working hard.
These three are the three strongest people according to Redfield, and they really work so diligently.
Finn walked onto the bridge at the port and looked at the sea level in the distance.
When will passengers board the ship?
Finn sighed and turned to leave. Pika beside him suddenly squeaked towards the sea.
Is anyone there?
Finn looked around the sea with surprise. In the distance, he saw a ship with a rocket launcher logo heading towards Peace Island.
"Oh my god, there really is someone here. Hurry up, hurry up, all of you, get ready; we have guests coming to our house."
Charlotte Cracker and the other two hurriedly cleaned up the surrounding construction waste, but they kept sighing in their hearts: I don't know which unlucky guy actually came to this devil's island.
Although they had thousands of complaints, their hands did not slow down at all. When the big ship approached, there was no garbage or debris around the harbor.
The pirate ship docked, and a guy in heavy armor walked down from the ship, followed by many well-equipped members.
Finn stepped forward excitedly. These guys must look rich. My Peace Island can finally open for business.
"Hello everyone, I am the host of this Peace Island. Welcome, all guests. Here we have accommodation and delicious food, and we can even hold parties. The prices and services will definitely satisfy you."
"Only 100 million Berries per person; it's absolutely worth the money." Finn stretched out a finger. To show his sincerity and commemorate the first batch of customers, Finn decided to give an unprecedented discount.
After all, Whitebeard spent 10 billion on a meal last time, so charging only 100 million per person for so many people is definitely a bargain.
The leading pirate was stunned for a moment when he saw Finn's expression, and then he burst into laughter.
The lackeys behind him also laughed.
"Guys, he said he'd charge each of us 100 million Berries, hahahaha."
"Captain, do you think he's lost his mind? Doesn't he know we're pirates? Boss, let me kill him, right?"
The leader waved his hand. "Don't kill people at will. We are the future Pirate Kings, and we need to be tolerant. Besides, he is the one who made me laugh. We must treat slaves well."
Finn looked at the pirates in front of him in confusion. What? Were they not satisfied with the price? But this was already very cheap.
"Boy, we can't be dealt with for just 100 million each. We need at least 1 billion, don't you think? Hahaha."
"Yes, Boss is right; it's one billion."
Finn was overjoyed. It seemed the people in this world were really nice. They didn't have the heart to let me lose money.
"Okay, then 1 billion is fine. We accept cash and treasure. Of course, if you want to pay by card, we don't have the equipment for that yet."
Although Finn didn't know if credit cards could be used in this world, it was better to be safe.
Finn's naivety made everyone freeze.
Is this guy a fool? He's still asking us for money?
The leading pirate lost his patience and walked over to Finn in heavy armor, shaking the harbor with every step.
Finn looked down at the swaying steel plates, muttering, "Looks like it still needs reinforcement. The people in this world are not only tall but also abnormally heavy."
The pirate was furious. He stepped hard and waved his hand, shouting.
"You are too arrogant, kid. You dare to tease me, Polyarcia, Captain of the Bazooka Pirates, an affiliate of the Four Emperors' Big Mom Pirates!"
Roar, roar, roar~
Captain, Captain~
The pirates behind him cheered, but they did not see the three figures trembling with grim faces on the distant coast.
"Damn it, who's behind this? I'm going to tear him apart. He wants to die, but he drags us into this?"
