It’s not that she thinks this business is small as in this world, selling fruits can earn a lot of money.
For example, a certain Cocoyasi Village which was exploited by Arlong. Arlong collected a protection fee of 100,000 Berries per month for the adults and 50,000 Berries per month for the children. And a significant source of income of a small village in East Blue depends on selling agricultural products.
The trade routes in an ordinary village are naturally not very extensive, but this is not the case here. These people’s business spans across the entire New World, from Stussy’s Pleasure District to Du Feld’s underground casinos, where fruits are consumed.
They also have their own network of relationships. As long as they want to, they can sell a product to the whole world within a certain period of time. With these trade routes, even if they scrap iron, they can earn a lot.
It’s just that Big Mom and the Beasts Pirates are equivalent to the new and old pirate groups in the New World, and both captains are remnants of Rocks Pirates. When they are meeting, their discussion is not revolving around arms trading, military operations, or crazy plans to rule the world or kidnap Celestial Dragons, but instead they want to sell fruits, which truly exceeded Stussy’s expectations.
Not only Stussy, but others were also equally puzzled. If an ordinary person had engaged in such a seemingly joking conversation with them, they would probably have been ridiculed.
But the two people in front of them were both pirates with ten-figure bounties, and due to offending Charlotte Linlin, there are also many islands that have been destroyed by her.
Although Kaido has only destroyed the headquarters of the Organ Dealing Assassination Group, his several escapes from the prison ship, his previous prison break from the G Branches, and his battle with World all confirm his strength.
Laughing out loud in a situation like this would be akin to an old person taking their own life because they felt they have lived for too long.
It’s best if there’s nothing big happening. Although she is the government’s secret agent, she also wants to live a peaceful life and not be involved in any terrible events.
Fruit trade has always existed in the pirate world, and their forces also have their own fruit suppliers, providing different quality of fruits to different customers.
A few hundred berries can be used to buy several fruits outside, but at the entertainment venues in the Pleasure District, a fruit platter made up of several fruits can cost more than ten thousand berries.
It’s called Pleasure District, but only rich people can experience the joy here. If the fruit quality that Kaido wants to sell is high enough, they would be happy to use it as their own product to sell to others.
Stussy knows whose money is the easiest to earn. As long as they have a reputation, nobles from all over the world wouldn’t mind the price of the fruit, as long as its taste matches the price.
Those nobles are rich, but not fools. Even the things bought by Celestial Dragons have to be worth their money in order to satisfy them.
The real goods were right in front of them, and the easiest way for them to verify their quality is to try it themselves. However, Charlotte Linlin’s reaction had already indicated something. Although her requirements for food were not too high, people still prefer something delicious.
Charlotte Linlin’s expression had already given her the answer. At this moment, she had already been conquered by the food.
Stussy also picked up a fork and speared the fruit in front of her. The texture of Pecha Berry was quite crisp, and the moment the fork pierced the flesh, juicy liquid burst out.
The overall taste was still that of peach, but it was a new experience, a wonderful taste that could not be expressed in words. There was also the soft and sticky texture of the Mago Berry and the slightly sour Sitrus Berry.
If you don’t like overly sweet flavors, Sitrus Berry is a better choice.
The fruit platter had not been finished yet, and other products had already been served. In Big Mom Pirates, chefs have a high status, and their numbers were also the most numerous among all the pirate crews.
The first thing that was served was a beverage made with it, followed closely by cream rolls, jelly, and ice cream. As the Pecha Berry and other new varieties arrived relatively late, most of what’s being served now is banana-flavored, and the rest is being diligently prepared by working overtime.
Almost all imaginable sweets had been made by the Big Mom Pirates, and because of these new sweets, Homies, which had been infused with souls, were almost neglected.
Although they kept demanding “eat me” at the table, most people ignored them, except for some black tea to help with digestion.
Not only the main dining table, but even the adjacent tables were the same, especially the table where children were sitting. These children were all Charlotte Linlin’s children, and it could be said you would hardly find anyone in Big Mom Pirates who didn’t love sweets.
During the infant’s flavor appreciation period, they were influenced by their mother and became very interested in sweets. The vast pastry workshop on Whole Cake Island is enough to meet the needs of these people.
Inside the workshop, Streusen was singing and stirring up the emotions of his subordinate chefs. For a chef, the kitchen is their battlefield and creating satisfactory food is their mission.
“The banana donuts and donuts made with the new fruits are both done. Send these to Sir Katakuri! Take the rest to Mama’s place, and hurry up!”
The oven and freezer were both operating intensively, and different types of desserts were being sent out in long lines. Streusen was also constantly experimenting with new methods to see which one is more suitable for these fruits.
However, the food Homies outside seemed to have found a new outlet. The people of the Big Mom Pirates were attracted by the fresh things, but for some of the pirates of Beasts Pirates, those Berries were already something they had eaten enough.
Especially Olga, who had finally recovered from being nauseated by the smell of fruits and could now consume them in small quantities. So, compared to the fruits, she was more interested in the grilled meat coated with honey and slightly sweet grilled sausages.
Setsuna, Zeraora, and Elizabeth were in similar situations. Although they are all omnivores, their genes make them more inclined towards meat.
The abandoned Homies found meaning in their existence here. Without anyone needing to lay a finger on them, they lined up and jumped into the plates, waiting to be eaten.
As long as one can overcome the psychological issue, the food Homies infused with soul do indeed have a vastly different flavor.
If the Big Mom Pirates had a ranking system for food on Whole Cake Island, the roasted meat would have been at the very bottom. However, with the arrival of today’s guests, the status of the roasted meat had undergone a complete change.
“The world outside is really interesting. Is all the food here this interesting?”
In front of Setsuna was a piece of roasted pork rib which was trying to run away. Not all food Homies were eager to be eaten, some would rather escape.
