Chapter 54: A New Ship from the Future

"Like the sea train, the ship is powered by steam???"

"It's best to be able to dive ???"

"Convert steam into energy that can burst out in an instant, and then let the ship fly???"

"There is a propeller on either side of the hull that can be stored freely??? so that when flying, it can hang in the air for a while??? ”

"If technology allows, the concealed propeller can be converted into an impeller that pushes the boat at any time???"

"The size of the ship should not be too large, but it is best to have two small vehicles in the cabin, a small submarine and a land boat???"

“???”

Edward was stunned.

Guests spend a lot of money and have to keep improving.

He understands this kind of truth and can understand it.

But listening to Maude's more and more exaggerated requests, Edward, who was past his prime, was dumbfounded.

Maud looked at Edward, who was in a slight trance, crossed his fingers and smiled: "Also, it's ......"

"Poof."

Edward fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth and fainting.

"Grandpa Edward!"

Startled at this, Keynes rushed over in a few steps, crouching down to check on Edward's condition.

Immediately, he took out a jar of emergency medicine from Edward's dirty clothes pocket, poured out a few pills, and stuffed them into Edward's mouth.

After taking the medicine, Edward's condition stabilized.

Keynes breathed a sigh of relief, looked back at Maud and Lafayette, and said apologetically:

"I'm sorry, I'm smiling, the old man is old, and there will inevitably be some old problems in his body."

"Understood."

Maud nodded calmly, only to assume that Edward was ill, and walked straight to the messy workbench to find a pen and paper.

"I have about fifty more demands and proposals, or I'll just write them down on paper, and when the old man wakes up, you will hand them over to Keynes."

"Okay."

Keynes answered, but didn't notice that Edward's body shook beside him.

Maude's speed of writing is not ordinarily fast.

In a short time, he wrote fifty requirements neatly.

"I'll put the paper here."

Maud put down the paper, raised the pen in his hand at Keynes, and pressed the pen to the paper.

"Okay."

Keynes moved Edward to the bed in the studio, then smiled apologetically at Maud and Lafayette again.

Maud didn't care, leading Lafayette away from the sour, messy studio.

The two left the studio and walked side by side in the corridor.

"Maude, what you are asking for...... How did you come up with it? ”

"It's not what I think, it's what I see in the book."

"Books? Storybooks? ”

"Sort of......

Maude chuckled, not wanting to explain further.

It can't be said to be a comic book called "ONE PIECE", right?

He will reveal the existence of the Hunter's Note to Lafayette, but will never reveal the details of his identity as a time-traveler.

And most of the various requests he made to Edward were derived from the technology tree of this world.

Of course, he made so many demands at once, and he didn't expect Edward to accomplish much.

As if by chance, he threw out all the possibilities, and then it was up to Edward to see how many possibilities he could take the bait.

If you're lucky, you might be able to get a new ship from the future.

Lafayette didn't know what Maude was thinking, so he could only mourn in silence for the old man just now.

However, he is full of expectations for the future of this 600 million ship.

The two returned to the lounge.

When Keynes returned, Maude worked out everything with him.

After that, it depends on how long it will take Thomas Shipyard to source Treasure Tree Adam.

If all goes well, they may be able to use the new ship in less than two months.

If it doesn't go well......

You'll have to wait a long time.

That's not what Maud wants to see.

But even if he didn't want to, there were some things he couldn't change.

The only thing that can be done is to increase the price in exchange for time and efficiency.

Having settled the matter of the new ship, Maud and his party leave Thomas Shipyard.

"The money for shipbuilding is not always enough, and then you have to add furniture and other things......"

Maud pondered the question of money.

This was the first time he had bothered about money since he had scavenged a large sum of money from the dragon's territory.

However, this time krypton is necessary.

Because the new ship is not only their guarantee for sailing at sea, but also their future home.

For this, no matter how much money is spent, it is worth it.

"If you want to get money quickly, that is, ...... Robbed peers for money. ”

"But this is not a place of lawlessness, and even if there are many peers, it can't be too blatant."

Considering the way to get money quickly, of course, it is to grab it directly.

And it is impossible for Maud to rob the money of civilians, and the first target that comes to mind is naturally the other pirates.

This kind of black eats black, and it is also what he is most willing to do.

However, although there is no naval garrison in this place, there are a large number of soldiers from Ahab, and there are several rules that cannot be violated in Dick City.

As a pirate, if he acts too arrogantly, he will inevitably be targeted by the soldiers of Ahab.

He wasn't afraid of being targeted, but he didn't want to affect the construction of new ships.

After thinking about it, Maude led the way out of Thomas's Shipyard and onto North Street.

Suddenly, gunshots erupted.

Dozens of buckshot bullets flew out of the shadows and headed straight for Maud.

Maud was aware of it, but did not make any move.

Lafayette's eyes froze, and he flashed to Maud's left side, and used his armed cane to knock down all the buckshot that flew in.

Jaya came to Maude's right side, drew her axe, and cleanly shot the lead bullet aimed at Maude.

The sudden shooting frightened Betty to run to the center of Jim's legs for the first time, and then collapsed to the ground with relief, as if this was the only safe place right now.

Bailey leaned on Maude's shoulder, squinted at the frightened Betty, and couldn't help but open her mouth and yawn.

The shooting happened suddenly.

After the gunshots passed, the residents on the street reacted, subconsciously hid in various obstacles, and immediately looked at Maude and his party on the street.

Although there are many pirates in Dick City, it is still rare to shoot in the street.

I don't know who those people provoked......

The residents of Dick City thought silently.

After Lafayette and Jaya blocked the lead bullet, Maud stopped and looked at the direction the lead bullet was coming from with a calm expression.

The aura that he sensed did not show up, nor did he fire a second round of gunfire, but directly withdrew from this place.

One blow does not achieve retreat, but it is also decisive.

Lafayette danced a circle of stick flowers with a cane, and with murderous intent in his eyes, he asked, "Chase?" ”

"Of course."

Maude's eyes narrowed slightly, and he sneered: "Don't keep any of them, and don't forget to search your body." ”

"Understood."

Lafayette also sneered, and immediately chased after the fleeing gunmen.

Jaya hesitated, but also chased after the gunman who had fled from the other direction.

Maud watched Lafayette and Jaya pursue the unsightly gunmen, paused, and then looked at the men in front of the street who exuded obvious murderous intent.

Dare to come head-on, obviously quite confident, and will not be weak.

"Heh......"

A wisp of coldness tugged at the corner of Maude's mouth.

If he doesn't have to, he'll follow the rules of Dick City.

Before a new ship is built, keep a low profile as much as possible.

But since others have already handed the knife and gun to their eyes, then ......

Kill!

Kill those rats and don't dare to take the lead!

Kill to a foothold here, no one dares to provoke!
