The fruit of the book of pirates

Chapter 148 Finally figured it out
So Charlotte Mousse can only change the miniature form of the "big head" back to the scroll, but compared with before, there are still some changes:

The length of the scroll was extended to the limit by Mousse, so that it will be wider after unfolding, and it will be more stable to stand on. Even without him pulling it, Nicole Robin doesn’t have to worry too much about falling off the scroll alone. .
And even if the little girl did accidentally drop it, it would be much more convenient for the "big head" to fly down to pick it up because of the wider roll.

Afterwards, Mousse dug out the automatic plotter with built-in gyroscope and showed it to Nicole Robin as a toy. He also told her about all kinds of strange devil fruit abilities in the new world. The girl is satisfied.

And Nicole Robin finally fully realized that she was never a monster. The reason why the residents here misunderstood it was entirely because they were too ignorant and didn't know that there are so many magical things that subvert the common sense in the world.
Then the little girl had the same question as the previous Charlotte Mousse:
"It's impossible for the scholars in O'Hara to also know about it? With their prestige in the town, the residents will believe it if they say it casually. Why has no one said it?"

"I think it might be that the world government forbids the promotion of devil fruits in the world, at least publicly?", but Mousse vaguely guessed the truth at this time.

If it is the important truth like the main text of history, the scholars of O'Hara know that the research will lead to death, and they will throw themselves into it like moths, but do the residents of the world know that the devil fruit does not affect their lives? It's not worth the ban for such an insignificant thing.

But Nicole Robin didn't think so deeply. She couldn't even understand why the world government didn't let people from all over the world know that there were such things as devil fruits in the world. She widened her bright eyes and looked at Mousse, hoping He can give an answer.

"The ability of devil fruit is not only fun and convenient, it is also very powerful! It is enough to make ordinary people crazy about it! If the residents of the world know the existence of this treasure, there must be many more young people than now People go out to sea to become pirates, and then swarm into the great route."

Charlotte Muse pretended to be a white-bearded grandfather and replied with a smile, while reaching out to rub the little girl's hair.
But how could Nicole Robin let him succeed?Taking a step back, I avoided someone's trickery, and asked a question that Mousse actually had before crossing:
"I can understand going to sea, but why must I become a pirate?"

Then Mousse laughed, not a laugh but a sneer:

"Because only pirates can sail freely on the sea, or in other words, as long as they sail freely on the sea, without first applying to the world government and following its route arrangements, they will all be identified as pirates."

"Of course, the navy doesn't have the time to catch you before you commit a crime and get on the reward list, but don't expect the navy to provide you with protection. Therefore, those real pirates, slave traders, even merchant ships and armies of various countries They may attack you, but if you can’t beat them and get caught, you’ll lose the story, and if you win all the way, then you’ll definitely be on the reward list.”

"So as long as it goes out to sea and hasn't died, it's not a pirate, it's a pirate."

When Mousse said this, he spread his hands helplessly.

When watching the anime "One Piece" back then, Mousse thought that when the three brothers Luffy flew the pirate flag when they went out to sea, they were just young and ignorant and blindly followed the trend. The reason why the trend of hanging the pirate flag can be formed, in fact, to a large extent, it is just broken jars:

"Anyway, you will still be wanted as a pirate in the end, why not set up the flag of a pirate clearly from the beginning!"

But Nicole Robin is different from the three young Luffy brothers in that she is diligent in thinking, so she not only needs to know "what is it like?", but also wants to know "why is it like this?", or even "why" The "why".
"You ask why the world government doesn't allow people to sail freely on the sea? Of course it's for the convenience of their rule."

After Mousse answered, she found that Nicole Robin was still at a loss. Thinking that she only had book knowledge and hadn't practiced it yet, she could only break things down and talk about it:

"Look at the residents in this town, what are the jobs of each family? It's not difficult to find out, right? Conscripting and collecting taxes are also convenient! But if people are floating on the sea, how do you collect them?"

"In particular, the taxes of the world government are still collected by the member countries, which is even more impossible to collect. We can't let every country send soldiers all over the world, right? Even if the world government allows it, those few bits and pieces of taxes are not enough to pay for it. Global shipping costs! Isn’t this a loss?”

"You said to let the port collect it? Robin, you are too smart! But the problem is that the number of ships arriving at the port is different every year. Sometimes there are more and sometimes less, and the gap may be huge. How much money is collected by the world government?" It’s a fixed-rate tax, and there’s no law on it, so how should it be collected?”

"If you want to let go of free navigation without affecting the collection of troops and taxes, the world government must be a larger and more powerful organization, and drastic reforms are required."

"However, reform is extremely difficult and dangerous. Those Tianlong people who rule the world don't want to work so hard and don't want to take risks, so they chose the easiest way in their eyes."

Speaking of this, Mousse finally wanted to understand where the root of the decadent rule of the Tianlong people over this world was:
"Under normal circumstances, when the relations of production are not enough to adapt to the development of productive forces, there will be revolutions or reforms, which will change the relations of production to meet the new requirements of productive forces; but Tianlong people do the opposite, using what they have mastered A powerful force, forcibly suppressing the development of productive forces, making it always adapt to its backward rule that has remained unchanged for 800 years, this is undoubtedly the biggest reaction!"

Unknowingly, the light in the cave dimmed a lot. When Mousse walked to the entrance of the cave, he found that the sun was almost setting, and he was startled, "How does time go by so fast?"

Generally speaking, it feels like time flies, which means that you are happier. Nicole Robin is so attractive at this age?

"No, at most I sympathize with her experience. But this little girl does have something special about her, and that's where the problem should lie."

Mousse did not ponder for a long time before he found the answer to the question, but Nicole Robin was different from ordinary children only because of an external factor, the key was that Mousse himself traveled in a very special way
