Chapter Ninety-Six: The Revolver

Jepp stood still, and Charles was dead-faced. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Aramis put the knife on Charles' neck, but instead of killing him, he looked at William.

William didn't even get up, he still sat in his chair and looked at Zhepu with a sneer: "Captain Zhep, are you still deciding to fight us now?" ”

Jepp's face was cloudy, and he was sure that if he said "yes", then William would not hesitate to give the order for Aramis to cut Challes' throat.

Zhepu couldn't watch his men die and ignore it, he was silent for a moment, and only after Aramis couldn't help but press a blood line on Halles's neck with a knife before he spoke, "Very well, I agree to a truce between our two families. ”

William got up, came to Zhepu, ignored the angry gaze of the Chef Pirates, raised his left palm, and said, "Let's high-five and swear?" ”

Zhepu slapped William's left palm with an expressionless face, and then rubbed the clapped palm on his shirt, as if he thought William was dirty.

"Aramis!" William smiled absently and called out without looking back.

Aramis saw everything in his eyes, and when he heard William's signal, he moved his knife away and shoved Charles, causing him to stagger back to his companion.

"Captain, I'm ......." Charles was ashamed and wanted to apologize, but was stopped by Jep raising his hand, and several Chef Pirates helped him and hurriedly stopped the bleeding from his wound.

Zhepu looked at William and said in a deep voice, "You're not afraid that I will regret it?" ”

"Regret is nothing more than continuing the war, do you think I'll be afraid?" William pouted, "And you will only be the one who will lose face at that time." ”

William just doesn't want to continue the conflict with Zhepu and affect his next plan, and maybe it has something to do with a plan that will be prepared next, and he is not afraid of Zhepu and his chef pirate group at all, and Zhepu really wants to regret it, but he is just humiliating himself.

Zhepu snorted coldly, casually greeted Danbier, and left the conference room with a group of subordinates.

Danbiel looked at the group of pirates who left angrily, and said to William with a not very good-looking face: "It seems that I have lost a big customer because of you, I thought you came to discuss a truce with Zhep, not to humiliate him." ”

"I've brought a lot of wine with me this time, and you can have someone pick it up on my boat for your bar," William waved his hand absently, "and besides, I'm seeking peace through struggle, and retreat and weakness won't buy peace, but will only gain an inch." ”

In addition, it is not said that William has just become a captain, and it is impossible and unwilling to show weakness to the outside world and reduce his prestige in the hearts of the crew.

Danbiel said disdainfully: "A little wine, you think you can make up for my loss?" ”

"Then my blueprints are enough, right?" William returned to his chair and smiled.

Hearing this, Danbiel took out a drawing from his arms with a complicated face, and after spreading it out, he could see a bunch of strange patterns painted on it, and if he looked closely, he could see that it should be a firearm and a part structure, if there is a traverser like William, then it should be more accurate to see that it is a "design drawing" of a revolver and a bolt rifle.

This design is the key for William to drive Danbier, who he had only met once before, to invite Jepp as an intermediary.

said that it was a design drawing, in fact, William didn't know much about firearms in his previous life, and most of the relevant information was learned from the Internet or film and television dramas, so the drawings were full of ticks and wipes, and many inconspicuous structures were omitted, but the key structures, such as the drum magazine of the revolver, the bullet design of the bullet, the propellant, the cartridge case, and the primer as one, have been explained.

From a professional point of view, the level of this drawing is really not flattering, that is, purely from the painting aspect, it is estimated that there is only the level of the kindergarten class, replaced by some other thin-skinned traversers, most of them are embarrassed to take it out for others to see, even if it is taken out, it is inevitable to be surprised, but William's face is thicker than the corner of the city wall, and it can be seen from his rhetorical question that this person is not only not a little embarrassed, but has a self-confidence that comes from nowhere.

Danpier had actually seen the drawings, but at this time he couldn't help but look at the scribbled design patterns on it, and he said lightly: "This drawing has no value, what is really valuable is the author's creativity, which is really amazing." ”

In the original history, more than ten years later, when Luffy and his party went to sea and met Mr. 5, a senior spy of the Baroque Work Society, they saw the revolver for the first time in the South China Sea, so at this time, the idea of this weapon was still relatively advanced in the East China Sea.

"Passing the prize." William was not embarrassed at all, and accepted Danbil's "compliment".

"It's just that," Danpier said, shaking the drawings and William, "you can only say that this is a kind of creativity, or even just an idea, if you want to make a real thing, you still need a lot of experiments and research, and only after making a real thing, can you know what the effect is." ”

William restrained his smile, leaned forward, pressed against the conference room table, stared into Danbil's eyes, and said, "I don't believe you couldn't see the value of this drawing and the effect of the new weapon before the physical object appeared. ”

"I'm a researcher, but I'm also a businessman," Danpier said calmly, William, who killed Redbeard and took control of his pirates, is now a pivotal figure in the East China Sea, he is not stupid enough to swallow the idea of the drawing and then turn his face and deny people, but simply seek truth from facts, "As the former, I am very sure of the value of the drawing, but as the latter, I must take into account the funds consumed by R&D and experiments, as well as the possible impact of the market environment on the finished product, As you may remember, I developed a repeating musket, and it didn't sell very well. ”

"In that case, I have a better idea." William leaned back in his chair and said with a smile on his face again.

"What?"

"Let me take the funds, and this ......," William pointed his head with his index finger, "take a stake in your arms business!" ”

……

A few months later, in autumn, the weather has begun to cool, but the hearts of the East China Sea pirates are on fire.

It's harvest season, and the farmers are targeting the crops in the fields, while the pirates are targeting the civilians who have regained their savings after hard work.

The people of Pingtou who have worked hard to rebuild their homes are like wheat harvested one after another in the farmland, as long as they grow well, regain a little vitality, and become a little richer, they will be targeted by thieves who are not engaged in production.

In Blackreef Town, Mary, the proprietress of the only tavern in the town, is holding her daughter Isa's hand and running out of the town with the flow of people.

The mother-daughter pair turned pale, both because of the non-stop running and because of the bad news of the arrival of the pirates.

Blackreef had encountered pirates two years earlier, and was already experienced in dealing with pirates, and under the mayor's command, women and children were sent out of the town to take refuge, while the men armed themselves with all kinds of rudimentary tools to defend their loved ones when necessary.

Yes, only if necessary, and only to defend loved ones, but not homes.

Most of the young men in the town had been killed and wounded in the attack two years ago, and the young people who could not bear the hard work of rebuilding their homes and left, and now in the town, even the thirteen or fourteen-year-old boys had to take on the duty of protecting women and children. Everyone knows that they will not be able to protect their hard-built homeland under the sword and gun of pirates, and despite the pain, they must give it up.

The opening of the era of pirates affected not only the two groups of pirates and the navy, but the entire world.
