----------

Three days passed in a flash, and the Beast Pirates began their holiday, with pirates rushing to various villages, squandering the money in their pockets.

Saving money was not a pirate's habit.

Daichi's hot spring club also welcomed a large number of pirate guests, comparable to when it first opened, with people overflowing every day.

Especially the Headliners.

Club backyard, private hot spring.

Speed, dressed in a loose yukata, sat by the edge of the hot spring pool, looking at Daichi, who was bare-chested and sprawled out enjoying himself, her eyes full of envy.

"Daichi, I really didn't expect that in just half a year, you would become one of the Tobi Roppo, and also so rich and powerful."

"Didn't you also get promoted to Headliner?"

Daichi opened his eyes, a smile in them.

"Do you still remember our agreement from back then?"

"..."

Speed rolled her eyes.

Of course she remembered, but she had just made a casual joke at the time, who would have thought Daichi would actually do it?

It still felt incredible to think about now!

If she had known this would happen...

Hehe~~

This lady's judgment is really good!

Speed looked at Daichi with increasing envy. Daichi's current success was inseparable from the abilities he had gained. If she could become an ability user, would she also be able to advance further?

Daichi beckoned to the girl.

"Come here, sit next to me."

"..."

After a moment of hesitation, Speed awkwardly sat down beside Daichi. Before her bottom was even settled, her yukata flew into the air, revealing her bare body.

The burly man pressed down.

"Eh?"

Wait!

She wasn't ready yet—

Pfft!

Two hours later...

Speed's hair was disheveled, her cheeks flushed, and she was panting heavily, looking at Daichi with anger.

That scoundrel, he didn't even give her time to mentally prepare.

Overbearing! Barbaric!

Daichi squinted his eyes comfortably.

"You specifically came to see me, it shouldn't just be for a romantic chat, right?"

"Of course not!"

Speed replied angrily, "The other Headliners asked me to inquire if I could learn your money-making methods."

Among the Headliners, only a few had a good relationship with Daichi, and she was the most familiar with him, so the Headliners asked her to come and ask.

They were poor!

The most typical situation for a pirate was unstable income. Sometimes, they wouldn't make a haul for several months, which was simply not enough to spend.

The monthly dividend alone would be gone after two or three trips to the Red-Light District. As pirates, who wouldn't want to live a life of fun and be a new groom every night!

Seeing how rich Daichi was, how could the Headliners not have ideas?

"I understand."

Daichi nodded with a smile.

As the saying goes, don't show off your wealth, or it will surely attract greedy eyes.

He deliberately displayed his wealth to get the executives to join him in the real estate business. He simply didn't have enough energy to do it all himself.

First, he would give them a taste of success.

"Tell them to wait for me in the reception hall."

"Okay!"

Speed stood up joyfully, but after one step, she stumbled and almost fell, with a faint trace of blood deep on her thigh.

So painful!

Damn it, he didn't even know how to be gentle!

Reception hall.

The Headliners nearly filled the room, all eagerly anticipating. Seeing Daichi arrive, they immediately stood up to greet him.

"Daichi-sama!"

"Hmm."

Daichi smiled as he scanned the room, then suddenly noticed a sneaky fat ball and raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"Brother Queen, why are you here?"

"Mwahahaha, Brother Daichi."

Queen rubbed his hands, looking around, "I heard Kozuki Hiyori is sick. How is she now? Is it serious?"

"Kozuki Hiyori caught a cold after returning and needs ten to fifteen days of rest. It's best not to disturb her during this time."

Daichi spoke nonsense with a smile.

He couldn't possibly tell Queen that after their "heart-to-heart" talk last night, he had given her delicate bottom a whack with a poker, which made her scream and faint, and she still hadn't woken up.

Given Kozuki Hiyori's frail constitution, she would need at least half a month to recover.

"That's good."

Queen breathed a sigh of relief.

Poor Kozuki Hiyori-chan ♡.

When you recover, Brother Queen will definitely prepare a gift for you!

Now there was serious business to attend to.

Queen sat up straight, showing no intention of leaving.

Daichi's eyes showed inquiry: "Brother Queen, do you have something else?"

"No, I'll just stay here and play!"

Queen's eyes darted around.

He also needed to learn!

As a world-class scientist, what was he most lacking?

Of course, research funds!

Developing powerful weapons often involved countless failures, and each failure meant a loss of money.

He had to follow Daichi and get rich!

"Alright, suit yourself."

Daichi nodded with a smile, not exposing him.

In fact, what he most wanted was high-ranking executives, and he even wanted to pull Kaido into it.

Given the scale of pirates, the Beast Pirates had basically reached their limit. No matter how much they developed, it would be difficult for them to become a hegemon like the Rocks Pirates. But engaging in real estate was different. The development prospects were excellent.

"Ahem!"

Daichi lightly coughed, his serious gaze sweeping over everyone: "All Headliners, I understand why you're here, and I'm very happy to share my money-making methods with you!"

"But I think, with your intelligence, you probably won't be able to learn it, so I plan to let you experience it firsthand!"

Making money was not easy, and teaching a group of brutes how to make money was even harder, but it wasn't impossible.

They could just copy him!

"Follow me!"

Kuri, Amigasa Village.

The broken down village remained poor.

The new city construction in various villages had clear planning boundaries, and the remaining areas were still the same as before: the land was broken and barren, and the people were starving. At most, they could benefit a little by getting clean water from the new cities.

Of course, this was Daichi's deliberate doing.

Only with a strong contrast could the prosperity and beauty of the new cities be highlighted. Nowadays, housing prices in the new cities across various villages were soaring, almost catching up to the Flower Capital.

Every day when Daichi woke up, his net worth would increase significantly.

The magical down payment system allowed people to afford homes while firmly tying them down, making them work desperately to repay their debts.

"Pirates are here!"

The villagers of Amigasa Village were overjoyed.

Could it be that the pirate-sama had taken a liking to their village?!

Who didn't know about the new city construction now? If Amigasa Village could also be torn down and developed, their lives would be much better!

Daichi led the Headliners to inspect the village and asked, "What do you think these villagers need most?"

"..."

The Headliners exchanged glances and shook their heads together.

They didn't know!

Daichi sighed speechlessly and explained, "These villagers are almost starving to death, so what they need most is, of course, food. If you want to make money, you at least need to understand your target's needs!"

"Oh, that makes sense!"

The pirates suddenly understood.

"But Daichi, we don't have any food!"

"I do!"

Daichi smiled.

The food from Paradise Farm was only enough for the Beast Pirates to be self-sufficient. There was no extra food to spare, but his storeroom held a large amount of food.

They could buy his food!

The Headliners were still puzzled: "Daichi, these villagers are so poor, can we really make money from them?"

"Yes, you can."

Daichi curled his lips: "Although they are so poor they can't even eat enough, as long as they are alive, they can create wealth."

"Farming, weaving straw hats, textile work…"

"They can create a lot of value."

"And what we need to do is control their clothing, food, housing, and transportation, so they cannot leave our protection. This way, they will willingly make money for us!"

Clothing, food, housing, and transportation were indispensable conditions for human survival and reproduction. As long as these were firmly controlled, everything could be influenced.

Just like Hakumai Castle.

Houses, farmland, job opportunities, and most importantly, order—all of these were controlled by Daichi.

The people couldn't live without him!

"All of you, watch carefully, I'm only doing one demonstration!"

Negotiating, buying land…

The whole process was already second nature.

The starving villagers had no reason to refuse. On the contrary, they were ecstatic, wishing the village could be torn down and renovated immediately.

The pirates are here, and the village will be peaceful!
