"How's it going? Have you mastered it?" Everyone watched Weiwei eat the fruit and waited curiously for the result.
Weiwei endured the strange taste of the fruit and said with a grimace: "The fruit's ability is a bit strange. It seems that it can borrow the power of the ancestors."
"Is there such a fruit?" The other two people had never heard of such a strange ability and could not imagine how to borrow the power of their ancestors.
"Let's try it." Guina pulled Keya and pushed her back to give Weiwei enough space.
Weiwei felt that after eating the fruit, she was connected to the world of death in her mind, and her ancestors stood in front of her like statues. Whether they were wearing isolation suits or not, as long as they had the blood of the Celestial Dragons, they all stood.
Here, waiting to be selected one by one.
"How do I know if my ancestors have fighting ability?" Weiwei also knew that some Tianlong people only eat, drink and have fun, and have no fighting ability at all.
When asked, different options immediately appeared in Weiwei's mind: arranged alphabetically by name, arranged by time of death, arranged by soul energy, and arranged by combat effectiveness during life.
What do the four different options mean, arranged according to soul energy? Weiwei was thinking: "Does strong combat power mean a strong soul? That's right, I can't use my combat power before death. What I need is to borrow my soul, maybe
It’s best if your soul strength and combat effectiveness are both strong.”
We need to find an ancestor with comprehensive strength, but for now we will test: "Arrange them according to their combat effectiveness during their lifetime."
The arrangement was completed immediately, and the one at the front turned out to be a young man.
"Fusion."
Fusion with the boy's soul, Weiwei immediately knew what the boy's power was: "Super Draco really exists?" This boy was the Super Draco, but he was killed at a young age and did not show his power.
With the battle experience entering her mind, Weiwei moved around, used her fists and feet, and performed a set of wonderful punches. The surrounding seawater was attracted by the punches, vibrating, and water droplets jumped around. Even the Neptunes below felt the crisis.
Standing next to Weiwei, Guina and Keya also used their fruit abilities to resist the power of the punch.
"So strong." Guina did not expect that the Ancestral Fruit could make Weiwei become a master instantly.
After finishing the punch, Weiwei felt refreshed and said in disbelief: "Is this the power of the fruit?"
"If you borrow the power of your ancestors, then the level of strength is related to the user's ancestors. You are the princess of Alabasta. There must be many strong people among your ancestors, so the fruit will also be very strong. If you are an ordinary person, your ancestors are all
For people who do nothing, the Ancestral Fruit is not very strong. Therefore, the upper limit of the Ancestral Fruit is very high, and the lower limit is also very low. It depends on your status and ancestors when you use it. So this fruit is really strange."
Does Weiwei miss her ancestors? She feels that this is a curse on herself. She cannot forget that she is a Celestial Dragon, and she cannot get rid of it.
"What's the matter, are you worried?" Seeing Weiwei suddenly quieting down, the two girls came over and asked with concern.
"My ancestor is a Celestial Dragon. Although he did not wear isolation suits and did not stay in the Holy Land, he was indeed one of the twenty founding kings of the World Government." Weiwei said: "You also know the situation of the Celestial Dragons."
Everyone knows that the Celestial Dragons are extremely arrogant.
Keya said: "Actually, when I was reading history, I had a question."
"What's the problem?" Guina asked.
Weiwei also looked over. Although Keya was just the daughter of a rich country man, she was very studious and had many insights.
"Is the world the same as it is now eight hundred years ago?" Keya said.
"Of course it's different." Weiwei said.
Keya said: "I think so too. Eight hundred years ago, the level of development of the world was definitely not as good as it is now, and the influence of the Celestial Dragons and the World Government was definitely not as good as it is now. Although everyone hates the Celestial Dragons now, I'm afraid that in the past
I envy the Celestial Dragons."
In fact, it is easy to understand why the world government is strong? It must be that the islands it controls are more developed, while other islands are less developed.
If you have a high degree of development, you will naturally have money. If you have money, you will naturally have admirers.
Just like what is said in "The Book of Songs: Dadong", how prosperous the western princes are, how poor the eastern princes are. At that time, the eastern princes who were closer to Haojing, the capital of Emperor Zhou, were called Xiaodong, and those who were farther away were called Dadong.
.
At that time, the Western Zhou Dynasty required various places to build roads and post stations: one house for ten miles, one night for thirty miles, and one house for fifty miles. It was okay to build it from west to east for the rich princes, but for the poor princes, it was too heavy to bear.
burden.
In addition, the degree of development was uneven at that time, with more development in the West and less development in the East, so the West had money and the East had no money. Hence the song "Dadong", which is the envy and hatred of the Eastern princes towards the Western princes.
But with the development of the East, the idiom "the blessings of Qi people" came into being. The first thing Qi Huangong and Guan Zhong did was to build bridges and roads to attract foreign investment. Road building is indeed the only way to development.
The economy in the East began to develop, but the West became poor due to chaos. When it came to Qin, although Qin got the old land of Emperor Zhou, it was completely impoverished.
Therefore, development is carried out in stages, and it cannot be completed in one go.
Keya thought of this. The Tianlong people have controlled the world for 800 years. At the beginning, they must have controlled the richest areas like Emperor Zhou, and then developed them externally.
However, development will bring suffering, but at least if it is developed, more people can become Zhou people, join the Zhou people's trading system, and gain opportunities for development. It can be said that 'although Zhou is an old state, its destiny is restored'.
Later, as various regions developed, the Zhou Dynasty could not maintain the game. Overlords from various regions came forward one after another, and the Zhou Dynasty's economy fell behind.
Emperor Zhou also went from being a representative of advanced productive forces to a mascot and was hated by others.
The same is true for the Tianlong people. At first, they continued to expand, allowing more islands to join world trade and use Bailey. Although everyone was also suffering, they at least had hope and wanted to make money at sea. But as the economies of various places developed, Tianlong
People become an eyesore.
Nowadays, Tianlong people can no longer represent advanced productivity, but have a lot of bad habits.
Eight hundred years ago, it was no big deal for the Tianlong people to buy and sell people and oppress the people. Because it brought development, the benefits outweighed the disadvantages, and everyone could tolerate it.
But now that the Tianlong people can no longer bring development, everyone's tolerance is getting smaller and smaller.
This is the change of development.
Keya said: "I think eight hundred years ago, the Celestial Dragons were respected by everyone, because the Celestial Dragons built the world government system and developed the world's finance. My father often said that Bailey is a good thing, no matter where he goes,
Pele can be used anywhere. When traveling around the world, the world navy is also very good to rely on. My father can still have such emotion, then when everything was in chaos eight hundred years ago, the rules of the Tianlong people will definitely give more
People bring hope. Although the power of the Celestial Dragons is no longer that powerful, I think you should not be ashamed because you have Celestial Dragon blood. The Celestial Dragons are not perfect, but they did change the world."
Weiwei thought it made sense, and Guina nodded repeatedly.
Weiwei lamented: "You can't judge the ancients with today's eyes."
Guina also said: "The important thing is what kind of people we want to be. This has nothing to do with our ancestors. It's like my grandfather is a swordsmith, but my father wants to be a swordsman. People choose their own paths.
.”
Weiwei suddenly felt that she was really lucky to have two good friends. She didn't have to worry about it herself, but could share it with everyone.
The Tianlong people once represented advancement, but they could not keep up with the changes of the times and fell behind.
Just like Emperor Zhou, although there are many people who are dissatisfied, at least it can bring development and everyone can accept it. But later Emperor Zhou couldn't handle his own economy, so everyone looked for another way out, and Zhou Li became decadent.
synonym for.
The same is true for the Tianlong people. In the past, when they brought globalization, Bailey was very strong and everyone accepted it. Now that Bailey is becoming less and less valuable and devalued, everyone is not willing to accept it.
Compared with the Celestial Dragons buying and selling slaves, the drop in the value of Bailey's currency is a big deal. Just from buying and selling slaves, how many victims will there be? And once Bailey collapses, the victims will cover the whole world.
Weiwei looked at the sea and kept thinking about the changes in the Tianlong people. Then she said to everyone: "Everyone, I have a willful request."
"What do you want to say first?"
"I want to go to various islands to investigate the economy." Weiwei said: "If you want to truly understand the situation in each place, you should go deep into the masses."
"Okay, I have no objection. Keya, what about you?" Guina has no objection.
"I support it too, Weiwei, I'll help you." Keya is the daughter of a businessman and is also very interested in economics.
"Thank you." The three of them had a new goal, which was to investigate the economy.
