The Most Wasteful Fruit Among Pirates

capital of seven waters,

The advent of the era of great pirates may be a wonderful era for those ambitious and ambitious, but it is definitely a nightmare for ordinary people who intend to live a stable life.

This city full of buildings and waterways is hit by a tsunami every year, so the island does not have the main materials to support shipbuilding: steel and wood, everything can only be imported from the outside.

However, because Roger started the era of great pirates with a single sentence, more and more pirates were raging on the sea, coupled with the ferocious and changeable sea climate on the great route, all these seriously interfered with the transactions between the capital of seven waters and the outside world.

The increase in the price of materials will reduce the profit of the shipyard, and the economic downturn in the overall environment will lead to a decrease in the business of the shipyard. In order to grab orders, the various shipyards in the capital of seven waters even often fight.

The large number of unemployed people has led to the deterioration of law and order, and the deterioration of law and order has made responsible maritime merchants reluctant to go to this city, which in turn has caused the unemployment rate to continue to rise, creating a large number of idle and resentful workers...

Under such a cycle, the city will sooner or later become a dead city, which is the hopeless future for most people.

But ordinary people face the vast sea... Even if they want to abandon their homes, they can't do it!

Poverty, hunger, chaos, death, until one day the situation is exhausted, and the remaining desperate citizens will take up arms, drive dilapidated ships, raise random skull flags, and become the new pirates.

But all that has changed,

Because of the words of Mr. Don Quixote Rosindi:

Our family invested in the sea train project!

Ships belonging to the Don Quique family brought large quantities of steel, timber, and food.

Then an order was sent to the capital of seven waters, so that a large number of shipyards that had been shut down were put into operation, and various parts were manufactured by shipbuilders, and then concentrated in the direction of Tom's studio.

The once lifeless city is bustling again, hope appears in people's life again, and words of thanks to 'Rosinindi' and 'Tom'.

But all of this is not important to the instigator.

The "Tom's Workshop" located in the waste pile under the bridge has been easily changed and expanded into a huge shipyard by Pika's ability. A large number of workers come in and out, constantly assembling various accessories with blueprints.

"Sea Train... Can this thing really run on the sea?"

In the large shipyard, Torrebol pointed to the 'long'... ship and asked suspiciously.

"sure,"

Rossi nodded confidently.

Although the things being built don't look similar to the 'trains' of the previous life, they can only be said to be exactly the same.

But this is not a train, but a real 'ship'. —Yes, the sea train is still a ship in essence, but a steam-powered ship.

The "track" on the sea is just a pointing function, and the sea train can also fly without the track.

These are all facts that have been witnessed by the "future". The three of Tom used waste materials to make two sea trains within ten years (the first of which was abandoned because it was too fast and unstable).

Now with the strong support of the Don Quixote family, it will not be a problem to study the sea train in a year.

And not just money, but also technical aspects:

"Although mechanical engineering is not my specialty, I also know a little bit."

A tall man in armor was discussing various detailed parameters of the 'Sea Train' with Tom the shipwright.

"Although the essence of energy technology is to 'boil water', but... ahem, a friend of mine developed a 'supercritical carbon dioxide heat engine' that can provide stronger power."

"The principle is that after heating carbon dioxide under high pressure to 600°C, the carbon dioxide in the supercritical state will retain both liquid and gas properties at the same time, thus driving the steam turbine at a more violent speed than high-temperature water vapor... "

? ? ? ?

"Ah, my sea train... probably doesn't need that much power."

Tom, the murloc shipbuilder, touched the cold sweat on his forehead. What he wanted to build was a 'sea train', not a 'sea gundam'. Ordinary steam turbines are enough, the so-called "supercritical carbon dioxide heat engine" is too high-end...

I don't know what kind of technology is hidden in the 'armor robot' next to it?

"Really? Too bad—"

"Testino" in the armor robot sighed regretfully, scientific research is very expensive.

His armor exoskeleton has already cost the Don Quixote family hundreds of millions of Berries, but the strength...

Dealing with ordinary pirates is naturally crushing, but not to mention strong people like Rossi, Dover, and Taney, even other cadres of the family can easily dismantle this armor exoskeleton.

For the strong in this world, dismantling Gundam empty-handed is just a basic practice.

Otherwise, eight hundred years ago, the "huge kingdom" with lunar technology would not have been overturned by the world government.

Therefore, after hearing about Rossi's large-scale investment in the "Sea Train" project, Dr. Tiestino immediately came to help with enthusiasm. On the one hand, he naturally made some contributions to the world, so that ordinary people can also enjoy the convenience of technology. .

On the other hand, there are also plans to use the funds from the "Sea Train" to develop new turbines for themselves.

"Then look at this: tantalum-cobalt alloy, a homogeneous tantalum-cobalt alloy of one millimeter can easily resist most flintlock lead bullets in the sea, even shells—"

"Doctor T, stop harassing Mr. Tom."

When the good-tempered murloc boatman was sweating profusely, Rossi in a black feather coat came over to rescue him.

"After the sea train is manufactured, we will be able to connect all the islands on this route, and the convenient transportation will bring huge wealth."

"At that time, it is not impossible to allocate tens of billions of Baileys to you every year as research funding."

Vegapunk, which is controlled by the world government, can produce high-tech weapons such as 'pacifist', 'Children's Shichibukai', 'cloned female individual', 'giant Gundam'... etc. Naturally, the Don Quixote family cannot lag behind.

It's just that, let's get the 'sea train' done first.

"Mr. Tom, leave the motivation to me."

"The next thing you proposed..."

Among the armored robots, Dr. Tessdeno came to his senses in an instant, a series of hurried technical terms, wishing that the sea train would be completed and set sail tomorrow, so as to obtain sufficient funds for the experiment!

"Yes, yes, Dr. T."

Shipwright Tom is very satisfied with the doctor assisted by the Don Quixote family: the other party's level is definitely the top in the world. Although he is not a shipwright, materials engineering, power energy and other things are common.

Being able to manufacture individual "exoskeletons" will naturally provide a lot of help for the manufacture of sea trains.

It would have been better if he hadn't been trying to cheat out of his sea train project... ahem, splitting the funds.

"Let's go, leave this to the professionals."

As a great swordsman with abilities, Rossi also couldn't understand what the two tech masters were saying. But it doesn't matter, as long as they can make the 'sea train'.

As for the principle?

Who cares, as long as it works.

At the same time, Rossi knew that there was a treasure hidden in Tom: the blueprint of Pluto! Or say 'anti-Pluto design'?

In short, it was the design drawing left by the craftsmen of the Seven Water Capitals eight hundred years ago after they created the 'Pluto' so that future generations could fight against the Hades.

However, Rossi even knew the whereabouts of 'Pluto', so naturally he would not pursue this design.

Moreover:

Even with the blueprints, with the current strength of the Don Quixote family, they can't do it!

Through this sea train cooperation, the relationship with the shipbuilder of the capital of seven waters will be deepened. Maybe one day, after the Don Quixote family grows stronger, they will be able to build their own "Pluto".

Different from the sand crocodile's way of plotting the original, Rossi prefers to create by himself!

—

"Torre, I leave this to you."

After leaving the shipyard, Rossi told Torrepol to pay attention to security work.

He didn't want to hear nonsense news like 'the shipyard exploded for no reason' or 'Tom's sudden illness'. The Don Quixote family contracted the sea train project with such a high profile, it will definitely attract a lot of attention.

Whether it's the world government or other pirates... some people don't want to see the Don Quixote family grow.

"Hey hey hey, this is a big project that the family has invested tens of billions of dollars in."

Torrebol nodded. How could he not pay attention to investing so much money?

"Jorah and Pique will help me check for leaks and make up for gaps. With the three of us watching, no one can make trouble here!"

"Um,"

Senior Pique, already a handsome gentleman, lit a cigarette,

"The safety here is entrusted to us, and there will never be any mistakes!"

Pick selected some of the pirates who either actively or passively took refuge in the Don Quixote family over the years and formed an espionage force.

According to the way he used to train in CP, he is no less than ordinary CP agents, and it is more than enough to protect the safety of a shipyard.

If you encounter a master, such as a professional like CP9, naturally the four of them will make the move.

In addition to Torrebol, Jorah, and Pique, there is also Picca who is quietly hiding in this shipyard.

With his stone ability, it only takes an instant to turn the entire shipyard into a part of his body.

"Rosie,"

Just as Rossi was about to leave, Jorah suddenly called to stop him.

"Um, if this so-called 'sea train' can really fly across the sea, can it..."

Looking at the shy and elegant woman, Rosie already knew what she was going to say.

"Building the sea train in Odense, right?"

Jorah nodded, Rosie continued.

"No problem at all."

"After the sea train is manufactured and the route is successfully opened, I plan to lay a large number of sea train routes in Beihai. How can we say that we also came from Beihai. When we have the ability, we should support our hometown."

"Well, thanks, Rosie."

Qiao La raised her skirt and gave a slight salute,

Although most of the cadres of the Don Quixote family were "born" in Beihai, to be honest, how much affection do Torrepol and the others have for their "hometown" since they were orphans?

Only Jorah, the former queen, has the idea of ​​"benefiting her hometown".

—

"Hahaha, yes, this cannon is strong enough!"

"That's right, I just said that 'Frankie God of War No. 9' is invincible."

When Rossi walked out of the shipyard, what he saw was a ferocious steel battleship full of gun barrels and full of "cyberpunk" style, which was slowly returning home.

And behind this small battleship, which was full of welds and rivets, dragged a sea king corpse more than 50 meters long.

"Your weapon is amazing, come to our family!"

The half-grown teenager Gladius is trying to 'recruit' his little partner.

"Hahaha, that's not okay,"

Fram, who is also a half-old child, turned his head and glanced at "Tom's Studio" secretly. A few years ago, he was abandoned by his parents to this garbage dump of discarded hulks, and Tom took him in.

Although he never said it out loud, Tom was like a father figure in Fram's heart.

Even if he was invited by a "good friend" he finally met, he was unwilling to leave Tom's studio.

Carter Frame,

Rossi looked up at the child who had returned from hunting Neptunus with Gladius,

Fram... is the future Franky. He is born with an extraordinary love for artillery and weapons that cause destruction. Coupled with his unparalleled talent and detached personality, he is very "brother" iceberg headache.

Later, Spandam's father: Spanda used the warship made by Fram to bomb the "judicial ship", which caused Tom, who had been exonerated, to be tried again and taken to Judicial Island for execution.

Feeling extremely guilty, Fram ran to physically intercept the sea train, was seriously injured and had to transform himself into a cyborg.

Because his 'father' was killed by himself, Fram, who used to be crazy about building weapons and warships, stopped building ships. In order to protect the "Pluto Design" that the teacher gave, he changed his name to Frankie, pretending to be crazy and acting stupid every day, a good and hot-blooded boy, and became a famous perverted boss in the city of seven waters.

However, now Tom is making sea trains for the Don Quixote family, and Fram's fate will naturally change accordingly.

"Gradius, don't force your friend!"

Rossi who walked over patted Gladius' light blue 'hedgehog head',

"A man will go to sea one day, and you don't need to persuade him at that time."

"Rosie!"

On the other side of the sea, the Jackdaw Flamingo was moored, and Dover on the deck beckoned.

"It's time to go!"
