New ship blueprints!

Two weeks later, Lafayette still remembers that Maude made a lot of excessive demands at that time.

In his opinion, with the current level of shipbuilding, it is difficult to meet these requirements.

Now when I look at the blueprints, sure enough, most of the requirements have become empty talk.

But......

"Steam engine."

Lafayette let out a stunned sigh and stared at the clearly constructed steam engine next to the hull blueprint.

His requirements for the new ship were only the following two points.

One is sturdy, and the other is strong mobility.

Unexpectedly, Thomas Shipyard actually came up with a steam engine.

Compared to Lafayette's surprise, Maude was a little disappointed.

Even though Edward was a skilled shipwright, he could only meet a fraction of what he asked.

A shipwright like Frankie is a special case after all.

Maude actually wanted to go over to Frankie, but he wasn't Luffy.

There is neither a background nor a protagonist aura.

If you rush to contact the Hades, I'm afraid that I don't know how to die.

Although a little disappointed, Edward's design was not bad.

After all, Edward was also a veteran shipwright who designed the Moby Dick for the Whitebeard Pirates, and the drawings he had carefully designed were not absolutely perfect, but they were also comprehensive.

"Lafayette, Sister Ya, what do you think?"

Maud felt that the blueprint was complete enough, but also wanted to hear the opinions of her peers.

Jia Ya squinted and smiled, "It's good." ”

She only cares about the size of the kitchen, and this plan has met her needs.

"Ho, I'm okay."

Lafayette had a look of anticipation in his eyes.

"Then it's decided."

Maud turned to look at Keynes, who was waiting for the results.

Seeing that Maud was okay with them, Keynes reminded him in due course:

"The steam engine is a kind of machinery with a complex internal structure, in order to cope with possible failures, as well as daily maintenance, before the new ship leaves the factory, I recommend that you recruit a qualified mechanic."

"We know."

Maud nodded.

But all of a sudden, where can they find a mechanic who can satisfy them?

It's okay to say that technology is a hard requirement.

In any case, the main source of driving force for the new boat is still the conventional twin-mast sail, and at the stern there is also a small sail that helps change direction.

Therefore, even if the ship's steam engine fails, the new ship will not be immobile.

Not wasting time on this topic, Maude asked about the progress of shipbuilding.

"Keynes, the problem of blueprints and shipbuilding materials has been solved, with the strength of your shipyard, how long will it take to build a ship?"

"Fifteen days as short as twenty-five days."

Keynes gave an approximate date without hesitation.

He didn't even mention the time it would take to transport Adam the Treasure Tree to Leviathan.

Such a reply is enough to reflect the confidence of Thomas Shipyard.

In fact, in order to serve Maude's sky-high order, after Baoshu Adam is in place, the production capacity of the entire Thomas Shipyard will be put into it.

"Yes."

This efficiency made Maude's eyes light slightly, and he said seriously: "If you have the final payment, I will make up for it within a week." ”

"Okay."

Keynes smiled in response.

Subsequently, Keynes did not stay long, leaving an updated budget sheet and leaving directly.

"800 million."

Maude took the budget sheet that Keynes had left behind.

Two weeks ago, he had paid 630 million Bailey in advance, but he had to spend 650 million to buy Treasure Tree Adam.

In other words, there is still 170 million Baileys short of the budgeted amount.

"I'm so willing......"

Jaya's expression was complicated.

Eight hundred million.

What is this concept?

I can buy her 80,000 sheep!

Lafayette took the budget sheet from Maude's hand, glanced at the budget items a few times, and said, "Whether you can make up the balance within a week depends on Bailey's performance." ”

As he spoke, Lafayette looked at Bailey, who was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, drinking beer.

"Hmm."

Maud smiled and nodded.

The new ship is about the same size as the Straw Hat Pirates' Sonny, but this budget is four times the cost of the Sonny.

He vaguely remembered that Frankie had only spent 200 million on the black market to buy Adam Treasure Tree, but their current purchase price was 650 million, which was three times the cost price alone.

But there is no inherently comparable between the two.

If he could get Frankie's technical support, he would be willing to pay twice the cost of shipbuilding.

There is still a gap of 170 million ......

Luckily, it happened to be the Colosseum of the Ahab Kingdom.

With a principal of 30 million, as long as the trading goes smoothly, it should not be a problem to get 200 million within a week.

Two days passed.

The qualifiers for the Colosseum are officially over.

Four qualifiers with a total of 6,211 participants.

However, including Pele and Bebo, only 11 participants qualified for the right to qualify.

This also means that in just two days, the huge Colosseum has strangled at least 6,200 lives.

How many human slaves will there be?

No one cares about that.

On the third day after the end of the qualifiers, it will be a knockout round of 11 into 6.

Maud is ready to make some money at the market.

But the staff of the Colosseum brought unfortunate news.

Bailey...... I had a bye!

This kind of good thing, which should have made any participant feel lucky, was a misfortune in Maude's eyes.

It's really better to count people than to be counted by heaven.

"It's okay, we have a suitable bet on it."

It happened suddenly, but Maud was calm.

"Who?"

"Bebo!"

.......

Inside a tavern.

Bebo, who was eating and drinking, suddenly sneezed twice.

"It must have been the bears who did too well in the qualifiers......"

“……”

Luo drank in silence.

.......

Meanwhile.

In a certain alleyway on East Street.

Buffalo's face was slightly solemn.

The phone bug he held in his hand turned into an image wearing a pink feather coat and red sunglasses.

"Fur ......"

Doflamingo's sneer came from the phone bug.

"That guy is actually ...... Leviathan too"

"Young master, I can capture him alive!"

Buffalo is confident.

If it weren't for Bebo's participation in the Colosseum, Buffalo wouldn't have known that Lo was also on Leviathan.

"Don't act rashly until Baby-5 and Rao G. join you."

Doflamingo duly put a stop to Buffalo's blind confidence.

"Okay."

Buffalo nodded.

"Fur ......"

A glimmer of luster reflected off the phonebug's red sunglasses.

"There is a vice admiral with a lot of background, who is also on his way to Leviathan, and you must leave Leviathan as soon as you have it."

"Understood!"

The communication then hangs up.

Bafaro put away the phone bug, a coldness appeared in his eyes, and he whispered: "Trafalgar. Luo, hum ......"

.........

Pele unfortunately had a bye, leading to a direct promotion.

There is one less trading duel.

Still, Maud put a 10 million bet on Bebo.

As the race begins, Maud prepares to leave for the Colosseum, but welcomes two special guests.

"Revolutionary Army?"

Maude looked at the two men and women in front of him in surprise who directly revealed their identities after visiting the door.
