Chapter 435 Little Teacher
...
Gel brought Weevil out of the castle that served as a temporary laboratory. Gel walked in front carrying a fishing rod, and Weevil followed behind carrying two large buckets of bait.
Before going fishing at the beach, Captain Gir decided to stop by the school for a surprise inspection, mainly to see whether Olivia, who was telling the children historical knowledge, had taught it as agreed.
Gel had already agreed with her in advance that she was only allowed to teach the children about the humanities and history of various parts of the world through storytelling, and let them judge right from wrong for themselves as they grow older and establish correct values.
It is absolutely not allowed to privately spread the O'Hara spirit that one should fight and sacrifice without hesitation in order to explore the historical truth and pass on history. This is the bottom line that Captain Gill cannot touch. Don't wait to teach him a group of little O'Hara scholars, otherwise Gill will be so angry that he will want to issue a demon-killing order himself.
Captain Gul tiptoed through the back door like a dean doing ward rounds. Wilbur thought it was fun and imitated his brother, walking like a thief.
Before he even reached the classroom, Gel heard the tender voice of a little girl coming from inside.
"The island has rich natural resources and a well-developed water system, but the arable land is insufficient and the population is too dense, so the biggest advantage of this place is its abundant cheap labor. The arrival of the Great Pirate Era cut off its connection with the outside world, causing the surplus labor force to fall into serious internal circulation and make life difficult, so many people were forced to go out to sea... and become pirates..."
"... "
"Okay, let's talk about Bock Island in the doldrums. The island is isolated from the outside world and is a typical winter island. It is covered with ice and snow all year round. People cannot work and can only live by hunting. However, the beasts that can survive in such a harsh environment are all very strong, so the weak humans on the island will be eliminated by nature. Over time, they have become a group of very powerful races... One day they rowed out to sea and found that they could easily get ten or a hundred times more food by plundering than hunting! The humans outside are much easier to deal with than those ferocious beasts. They are no match for them at all. In addition to food, there are countless other treasures such as gold and treasures waiting for them to take. So they went out to sea as pirates and began to make a living by plundering. In the end, they became the craziest group of pirates 500 years ago. Wherever they passed, no grass grew."
"There is also a certain island... because of certain reasons, he also went out to sea as a pirate!"

The person giving the lecture on the stage was little Robin, who was not even as tall as the stage. At this moment, she was standing on a wooden box and giving a serious lecture to hundreds of students below the stage.
The first time she gave a lecture, she had to face hundreds of students sitting neatly in the audience, most of whom were about the same age as her or older, and from different races.
Little Robin was nervous and curious. He would occasionally look away from the textbooks and secretly glance at the students below.
There are the cute furry fur people and the mermaid people with fish tails.
(What a beautiful little mermaid!)
There are also some muscular people who are ridiculously strong.
(Is this really a human??)
There are also the "colorful" looking fishmen.
Little Robin didn't expect to see so many races here that he had only seen in books, and he couldn't help but observe them.
(Wow, this strongest murloc should be the shark murloc, with such a fierce look! So scary!)
Robin thought to himself as he looked at Hody Jones, who was sitting in the first row wearing a mask of pain.
Hody Jones scratched his head vigorously, because Boss Gel said that only by developing moral, intellectual and physical aspects in an all-round way can one be truly awesome, so he has been listening to the lectures very seriously, but even though he is a fishman, he still cannot swim freely in the ocean of knowledge.
"Ah, Robin, Master..."
Hody Jones was still a little uncomfortable calling a tiny little girl "teacher", but when he thought about the instructor Ajin, who was a little older but incredibly powerful, he still called her out.
"Student, do you have any questions? Next time, remember to raise your hand if you have any questions."
Looking at the great white shark in front of her who stood up and was much taller than her standing on the box, little Robin was a little nervous, but she still responded with forced calmness.
"Hmm...Okay! I just want to ask why they all go out to sea to become pirates. Don't they have other careers to choose from?"
Hoddy Jones raised his concerns directly.
"Because...therefore..." (scientific reasoning)
Robin, who had prepared his lessons carefully, was not panicked at all. He immediately conducted a detailed analysis of this phenomenon based on historical background, social environment, economic foundation, psychological activities and other aspects. Finally, Robin confidently concluded: whether it was active or passive, they really had no choice but to go out to sea as pirates.
"wrong!!!"
Hodie Jones shouted, supporting himself on the table with both hands. His voice was like a thunderclap out of nowhere, startling everyone in the classroom.
Little Robin couldn't help but take a step back when she saw the bloody mouth in front of her. She almost lost her balance and fell off the wooden box. Fortunately, Hodie Jones was quick to grab her.
"Hey~Hodi calm down, what are you doing? Disrupting the class and bullying the teacher will be severely punished!Tos~"
Toss, the fishman friend beside him, hurriedly pulled Hodi Jones to remind him.
"It's okay, let me go, I won't do anything rash, I'm very calm."
After Robin regained his footing, Hodie Jones let go of his hand and said seriously.
"Teacher, the fishmen and merfolk in Fishman Street on our Fishman Island also have a large population. As you just said, this is called a serious surplus of labor, which is very similar to the situation on the first island you just mentioned. But after Boss Gel came to Fishman Island, many problems were solved. Although I don't know how Boss Gel did it, since our fishmen and merfolk were not forced to go out to sea as pirates, it means that there are other ways, and being a pirate is not the only option, right?"
"It seems so!"
Hodi Jones' words were immediately recognized by all the fishmen and merman imps present.
Before little Robin could speak, a cute little girl with muscles raised her hand and asked a question.
"Teacher, I have a question too. We, the Duffy tribe, have always lived on a winter island that is frozen all year round. The situation is exactly the same as that of Bock Island. However, my people are all hardworking and kind. Although life is hard, no one has ever thought of going out to sea to become pirates, to plunder and kill others. If we had not met Young Master Gel, I believe we would have continued to live on that island for generations, earnestly. So I don't think the harsh environment and lack of resources are reasons for them to do bad things."
Alina, the little girl from the Duffy tribe, said reasonably.
"this…"
Huh? How could this be? This is what the book says. How could it be different from reality?
Faced with the students' questions, little Robin was at a loss for words for a moment. She unconsciously flipped through the books on the table to relieve her nervousness, and her mind quickly searched through every book she had ever read. Unfortunately, this time she couldn't find the answer she wanted in the book.
