"Speaking of which, are you familiar with the Flower Country, Lida?"
After seeing Zephyr off, Kuro looked at the girl beside him.
"Flower Country?"
Lida tilted her head and thought for a moment. "I don't remember. I've never been to the Flower Country, and I don't think I've ever been to the West Sea either."
After saying that, she frowned, "West Sea..."
"What happened to the West Sea?" Kuro asked.
Lida shook her head: "Strange, I'm sure I haven't been here, but I have a strange feeling about it."
Kuro narrowed his eyes. "That old man Zephyr said you were from the 'Luo' family of the Flower Country. Do you remember him?"
“But my surname is Flo, and I still remember what my parents look like. They’re not from the Flower Country,” Lida said, puzzled.
Although she couldn't remember her parents clearly, she still had some impression of them, and they couldn't possibly be from the Flower Country.
"Yeah..."
Kuro stared at the sea, remembering the so-called 'Luo' family. He would have to investigate it if he had the chance. That old man Zephyr probably wouldn't lie to him.
But right now, the most urgent thing is to take care of Pegasus Town.
All the island's residents have moved to this town. Kuro lets them choose their own houses, but on the condition that they clean up the garbage on the streets.
After all, only one in ten residents of the town remained, and the houses were all ownerless. Let them live there. First, concentrate the population in one place to ensure the prosperity of the town. We can deal with the rest later.
Pegasus Town, located in the very center of Pegasus Island, doesn't actually have a large population. At its peak, it only had a few thousand people. After being ravaged by war and pirates, the population dwindled even further. Now, the island's villages have filled the town, and although it's not as large as it once was, it has at least restored a bit of life.
People are productivity. If there are enough people, Pegasus Town will naturally regain its vitality. These people are being oppressed by pirates in the village and can hardly survive. Even if the pirates leave, the village will lose its productivity due to the damage and will be temporarily unusable.
The only right way is to gather in the town and stick together for warmth.
Under the mayor's guidance, the new residents began to select houses and clean in an orderly manner, and the whole town gradually began to burst with vitality.
With the pirates gone, this place became a naval base, and life began to look promising again. Everyone's face was filled with smiles.
In the largest mayor's house in town, on the second floor, Kuro, with a cigar in his mouth, watched the people below working in an orderly manner, his gaze filled with satisfaction.
Gathering them together was the right choice. If we ignored them, they would either become pirates or starve to death; there was no third option.
"Kuro, when will my men arrive?" Kuro asked.
"They said today." Kuro pushed up his glasses. "It should be soon, but Mr. Kuro, the problem isn't with the subordinates. Our navy can't possibly have enough food left over for the residents."
"It will take at least two months for the town's two or three thousand residents to return to self-sufficiency. Two months' worth of food rations, Mr. Kuro, is no small amount."
The entire island's inhabitants, numbering two to three thousand, have gathered in Pegasus Town. Supplying so many people with food for two to three months would be a considerable amount; even if their subordinates came today, the food supply would definitely be insufficient.
"Don't worry, the food problem is not a problem as long as I'm here."
Kuro smiled confidently.
Then, he opened the window, leaped out, and instantly appeared on the sea. He flew low over the sea, and when his palm touched the surface, a huge wave rose up behind him.
The waves didn't rise; as if they were sentient, they followed Kuro. But beneath the surface, things were different. Numerous dark whirlpools appeared beneath the waves, making Kuro's eyelids twitch as he observed them.
If I'm not mistaken, the force of the whirlpool beneath the sea surface would pull anyone in.
Once you get caught in it, whether you faint or die, we don't know.
The waves swirled around Kuro as he looked out, and Kuro stretched out his hand. "Now, it's time to witness a miracle!"
He lifted it up with all his might, and a huge wave shot into the sky, its height instantly covering Pegasus Island. If the wave were to come down, it could completely submerge the island.
Kro frowned, his first thought being the bizarre theory that 'no one goes hungry once someone dies'.
Upon further reflection, Mr. Kuro seemed unlikely to do such a tasteless thing. He looked at the giant wave, his eyes narrowing slightly.
There seemed to be something mixed in there.
BOOM!!!
The giant wave disintegrated in the air, turning into a massive rain of seawater that poured down on Pegasus Town. The torrential rain, mixed with other substances, fell to the ground.
Snap!
A dark shadow crashed into the window in front of Kro. He was stunned for a moment, and then he saw a fish scrambling on the window, its eyes wide open, staring at him as if it were pleading its innocence.
Fish are falling from the sky.
A deluge of huge fish!
Countless fish fell to the ground with the rain, struggling and flapping their tails.
Kuro understood. Yes, yes, with Mr. Kuro's abilities, how could we be afraid of not having anything to eat?
Whether it's a sea king or something else, as long as it's in the sea, Kuro can bring it up with the seawater. Don't worry too much about food.
He didn't even need the residents to kill them; he could just select and kill them on the spot. With the seawater rolling in, he could have whatever he wanted to eat.
"What's so great about the Pirate King? Can he feed people? He can't! But I, Kuro, the King of Seafood, can!" Kuro joked confidently, giving himself this title.
If he retires in the future, maybe he can start a seafood side business. AllBlue claims to gather fish from all over the world, so he can set up a similar business, mixing fish from all over the world together. That would still be AllBlue. He could also bring a hot spring to attract tourists.
It would be best to hire someone named William; I've heard that people with that name are really good at saunas.
After soaking in a hot spring and taking a sauna, he would kill a seafood, eat sashimi with wine, and it couldn't be more comfortable. He wanted to enjoy such a day.
Thinking of this, he stroked his chin, looked at the shape of Pegasus Island, and murmured, "This seems promising..."
His abilities allow him to fish at will and create water currents, which could completely transform Pegasus Island into a water city. If he could also excavate hot springs, then the foundation for this prosperity would be laid.
The old man gave him this place, which is quiet and peaceful, but I'm afraid there's nothing left for him besides peace and quiet. As a base commander, his salary includes not only his basic salary but also a large portion of his income from taxes.
He has no money, so what's the point of him enjoying a life of luxury?
Back then, weren't all the taxes in Shells Town collected by Morgan alone? There's no way he could escape it. Since it's all the same no matter who you give it to, you might as well give it to Kuro.
Since the population is poor and small, there is naturally not much money. Therefore, this island should be developed appropriately.
