The fruit of the book of pirates

Chapter 138 Passing through the Country of Flowers

In the early morning of the next day, just after breakfast, Charlotte Mousse came to the "big head" who had been waiting for a long time, bent down and got into his mouth. Since she can fly, a fool would only take a boat!
After all, the "big head" is a real big head with a "square radius" of several meters. The space in the mouth is enough for Charlotte Mousse, an 8-year-old (just passed the New Year) child, and even lay in it to sleep for a while. It doesn't matter.

Anyway, there is a further improved gyro locator guidance, and nothing will go wrong before flying to the West Sea.
However, the scenery along the way is not easy to see, because the "big head" can reach a speed of more than 500 kilometers per hour, and if the gap between the teeth is slightly larger, the violent cold wind can blow Charlotte Mousse's heart. .
After more than a year of running-in, the current "big head" is much more mature than before. Not only has the problem of "talking tuberculosis" been basically eliminated, but his work is more reliable:
Not only do you not need to worry about him suddenly opening his mouth and throwing the master Mousse down to his death, but when Mousse needs to talk to him, he even just needs to knock casually in his mouth, and the "big head" will stop cleverly. Waiting for the master's instructions.

For example, lean forward a little, so that Mousse can spill his boy's urine outside, and see who is lucky enough to win the jackpot.
And sometimes "Big Head" will take the initiative to lower the height to approach the sea or the ground, without instructions from the owner, Mousse, for example, when you need to ask for directions.
The great route is really not too wide. Charlotte Muse and his "big head" flew across the windless zone that morning and entered the West Sea, which they had never set foot in.

But the latter is very big. Even if the chart marks of the West Sea are still clear, it is impossible for Charlotte Muse, who entered this sea area for the first time, to find his destination without asking any directions. pull.

Because the first country that Mousse passed was the country of flowers, which is still very closed. Even the BIG MOM pirate group, which claims to be the number one in the intelligence industry, did not have a clear and accurate map of the whole country, and the one published by the world government In the whole picture of the West Sea, only the coastline and the few other treaty ports open to the outside world are drawn.

Although Mousse knew that O'Hara was to the west of the Kingdom of Flowers, theoretically he could find it all the way west, but the problem was that the land where the Kingdom of Flowers was located was not as big as usual!
If the starting point is on the other side, if you go straight west from there, you can even deviate thousands of kilometers from O'Hara. If you only know that you are headed westward all the way, there is a high probability that you will rush out of the boundary of the West Sea
It is somewhat inappropriate to call such a vast land an "island". Considering the fact that the world's ocean area is much larger than that of the earth, it can actually be called a "continent".

In fact, the vast land where the Kingdom of Flowers is located is the only continent in the world that is inhabited by a large number of humans. The people of Flowers call it the "Loess Continent"!
According to the map published by the World Government, there are only two countries on the Loess Continent, but they probably have no less than half of the world's population. Among them, the country of flowers alone is said to have more than 3000 million people!

Obviously, the latter is a typical continental country, which seems out of place in the background of island countries all over the world of One Piece.

However, Mousse has always been very friendly to him, because the country of flowers is very similar to China in any way. It is a mainland country, has a large population, and uses square characters. There are too many to list.
But after going deep into the inland and seeing the "pig tail" combing the back of the people's heads, Mousse's mood became a bit mixed, "It looks like China, but unfortunately, it looks like the late Qing Dynasty. The most closed, backward, decadent and weak China."

"No, the weakness should not have reached the level of the late Qing Dynasty. After all, this is a world where great power belongs to itself. No matter how corrupt the court is and how backward the technology is, as long as there are strong people in charge, it will still be a world power that cannot be underestimated."

Mousse immediately corrected his mistake as soon as he said it. After all, even after more than 20 years of weakening, the Eight Treasures Navy of the Kingdom of Flowers still has good strength, and the pirates of the Kingdom of Flowers are at least as strong as they are. There are several.

Considering that the Kingdom of Flowers is a continental country rather than an oceanic country, it is said that the strong should be mainly distributed in the interior, so its military power will be even more impressive.

However, as far as Mu Si knows, the Kingdom of Flowers, which possesses such military power, seems to be not much better than the late Qing Dynasty in history. What is the reason for this?

Mousse was very curious about this, but he still suppressed his curiosity. After all, the Kingdom of Flowers could come back later, and if he lingered here for too long and delayed the business of going to O'Hara, he might never Opportunity goes to O'Hara.
But Mr. Lu still wanted to ask, but the people of the Kingdom of Flowers all ran away in fright after seeing the appearance of the "big head".
"Isn't this too much of a fuss?" As soon as Mousse had such an idea, he immediately thought of the plot of "One Piece" and the people in the East China Sea were also panicked when they first saw the power of a devil fruit
"Maybe it's because I have been staying in the new world where devil fruits are the most infested, or the myriad kingdoms where there are countless Homiz, which is especially magical, and all kinds of people I usually see are familiar with all kinds of strange things. , for a while, I forgot how a normal person should react.”

Mousse shook his head silently, but after such a small tidbit, he somewhat understood why the countries on the great voyage would regard people from all over the world as ignorant bumpkins
After that, Mousse changed his strategy, let the "big head" hide in the distance, and went down to ask people by himself. Finally, he was brave enough to ask questions without running away, but he soon discovered two new problems.
Different from the settings in the "One Piece" anime, the common language in this real world is some kind of "Esperanto" or "universal language" that doesn't seem to have much connection with the language on earth.

This language can be used in almost all countries without hindrance. Even if you still use your own language in a relatively remote place, you can usually find someone who can speak the lingua franca and it is not difficult to communicate.

But the Kingdom of Flowers is really worthy of its "closed" reputation. Not only does the whole country use its own unique language, but there are also a lot of dialects in the territory. The differences between them are so big that they seem to be completely different. language
Before Mousse came here, he only learned the "Mandarin" of the Kingdom of Flowers, and his level was not high enough due to time and teacher constraints, so it was a struggle to listen.

What made Mousse frown even more was that none of those people of flowers knew where "O'Hara" was.
