One Piece: My Spirit

For Shuangyue Village on this small island in the East China Sea, there are not many entertainment activities at night, or in the world of One Piece, the most entertainment activities are in taverns. After all, this is a world full of pirates, especially the wine culture.

The level of science and technology in One Piece's world is sometimes really confusing or contradictory. Among them, the four seas are a bit similar to the previous era of great navigation. Taking today's Shuangyue Village as an example, oil lamps or kerosene lamps are mostly used as lighting methods at night. Of course, this is only limited to this small rural village.

When it comes to the great waterway, the civilization gap between the islands is even more obvious. Due to the difficulty of navigation, the islands in the great waterway have almost no cultural exchanges between each island, which also causes each island to have its own civilization.

There are islands with very developed civilizations, and there are islands with civilizations that have not progressed for thousands or even tens of thousands of years and have kept their original state.Because of the chaotic climate of the Great Route, it is not impossible for this kind of thing to happen. It feels like a civilization fault.

There is a relatively flat stone table outside the wooden house where Shire lives. At the same time, there is a small acre of land planted with fruits and vegetables in the rear, and small pumpkins the size of a fist can be vaguely seen.

At this time, there was a kerosene lamp on the stone table, and three cups of tea had already been brewed. Not long after dinner, Guina and Marilou came to Shire's cabin together, bringing two newspapers with them.

The deserted moonlight fell around, and Kuina sat on the small wooden stool skillfully: "Hey, I brought you today's newspaper."

Charles took the two newspapers, one large and one small, from Kuina. It has the main issue and the larger one with multiple pages says 'World Economic Daily', while the other only has a single smaller page and says 'Donghai News'.

Charles picked up the 'Donghai News' first, and threw it to the other side in less than 20 seconds. It was still the same. There was not much valuable news, it was all gossip and trivial matters. If it wasn't because he was in the East China Sea and needed to pay attention to the dynamics here, Charles would not want to read this newspaper.

Because the level of this "Donghai News" is really bad, and there are a lot of fake news on it. The most outrageous thing is that a report from last week was re-published in the newspaper, and some of the same report was published in the newspaper with different writing methods and so on.

Then Shire picked up the "World Economic Daily". This newspaper is much better than the previous "Donghai Daily". At least news from all over the world and some news about the great waterway are published in the newspaper. The content is also diverse. There are also novels, comic strips, etc., and the serialized "Sea Warrior Sola" comics are also very popular.

At the same time, "World Economic Daily" has a very high timeliness, convenience and extremely wide audience coverage because it sells newspapers through the special way of "News Bird", covering almost every corner of this marine civilization world.

So Shire still attaches great importance to the news on the "World Classic" every day, because this is the most important window for him to understand the world. In the world of One Piece, which is a marine civilization, Frost Moon Village has too little information from the outside world, or for this world of One Piece, which is almost covered by the ocean, the means of obtaining news are really limited.

Among them, the communication tools are the most restricted, and the transmission and circulation of information can only be done through the special creature called 'Telephone Bug', followed by the 'World Economic Daily' distributed by 'Newsbird' just now.

Of course, there are other means besides the above. For example, the private sector can also send letters through 'Messenger Bird'. Of course, there is also a private enterprise called 'Little Bird Postman', but the flying distance is extremely short.

Of course, Charles learned all this from Koshiro, because he had seen Koshiro use the "bird postman" to write letters to, but in general, postal agencies other than government agencies are really underdeveloped.

"Oh? Is this year's World Government Conference finally over?"

While watching some important news on the "Book of Worlds", Charles read it out and analyzed it. This was already the pastime between Kuina and Shire after dinner every night. While reading the news paper, Shire chanted to Kuina who was playing with Marilou.

In her pre-Char life, Guina would rest for a while after dinner, then exercise again for an hour before going to bed.

However, things have changed since the appearance of Shire, or it should be said that it has changed since the appearance of Marilou. After all, this round and cute "little fat man" really attracts everyone's joy, even Guina likes it very much, so she often uses the reason of delivering newspapers to find Shire after dinner. In fact, she is looking for Marilou, but Shire pretends not to know, so this has become a kind of tacit understanding between the two.

And Shire would also watch the news on the 'Book of Worlds' and analyze a few words to himself from time to time, but for Guina, her mind was all on Marilou.

"Huh Goa Kingdom? Dragon people?"

In addition to the end of this year's World Government Conference, there is another news in the "World Classics". It is said that the Tianlong people will visit Goya Kingdom, which is known as "the most beautiful country in the East China Sea", but the specific date has not been determined.

The time at this time is 1512 in the lunar calendar of the sea, and the World Government Conference held every four years ended not long ago, and it is also the second year that Shire came to the world of One Piece.

Kuina on the side seemed to think of something after hearing Charles mentioning Tianlongren: "The name Tianlongren seems familiar. By the way, it seems that I heard my father mention it once when I was young."

Later, Kuina curiously asked Shire about the Tianlong people, but Shire didn't know much about it. He only knew that the world nobles who lived in the holy land of Mariejoa were descendants of the 800 kings who established the world government 20 years ago.

However, Kuina didn't seem to have much idea about this, and Shire also said to himself: "However, this kind of dictator's ruling method is really not clever, and this top-down high-handed rule will face backlash sooner or later."

On the side, Kuina was holding a cat teaser and playing with Marilou constantly. In the past two years, she was also used to listening to Charles talking to herself. She could understand some of the content, but most of it was only a half-knowledge.

Sometimes it is about pirates, sometimes it is about the navy, and there are many strange theories. When Kuina is interested, she will ask Shire "why", but most of the answers are a bit difficult for Kuina to understand now.

This time, Kuina was quite interested in the topic, and Charles also said casually:
"Isn't this a very simple truth? You see, the world government has a total of more than 170 affiliated countries, which are only more than half of the world's affiliated countries. Doesn't this mean that there are at least three-digit countries that are not affiliated countries?
I count it as 64, no, give it enough face, 73 is good, but even this [-]% is enough to cause headaches.

The chaos of these places is also a lot of trouble for the ruler. If it is scattered, it is okay to say, but since the pirate king Gould Roger started the era of great pirates 12 years ago, the number of pirates has increased sharply, and there will always be various figures of the world. Is there not much news about these things in the newspapers in the past two years?
And these places are 'ruled and integrated' by people, then they will become the best breeding ground for pirates, and one day they will threaten the ruler, and this is only a matter of time."

It's just that there are some things that Shire didn't say in depth, even in the franchise country, it is not peaceful. Compared with the threat on the surface, the biggest hidden danger is hidden in the dark.

While Shire and Kuina were chatting, there were two men standing in the shadows in the distance, Koshiro and the assistant teacher Kazuhiko in the dojo, and the two also heard the chat between Shire and Kuina just now.

"Mr. Koshiro, this kid Charles is really smart." Assistant teacher Kazuhiko couldn't help sighing.

Koshiro nodded: "Yeah, he is much more mature than his peers, or even more mature than many adults, and many of this child's ideas are very jumpy, and I can't see it clearly, but this is not harmful to Kuina."

Kazuhiko looked at Kuina and Ciel in the distance and was silent for a while, then said: "Both of them are very talented in swordsmanship, but it's a pity that Ciel doesn't seem to be as pure in kendo as Kuina, but with Kuina's talent and current efforts, she will definitely become a world-famous swordsman in the future."

Koshiro didn't answer, so why didn't he know?But when he thought of Kuina's dream, Koshiro couldn't help but sighed deeply:

"But Guina she."

Koshiro suddenly stopped in the middle of speaking, and then did not continue, and at the same time sighed helplessly in his heart, "Dinah and I only hope that Kuina's life will be safe."

And when Koshiro returned to his bedroom, the phone bug placed on the side of the corner suddenly rang "Bulu, Bulu".

"Hello, Mr. Koshiro, long time no see."

A deep male voice came from the other end of the phone bug.
