Chapter 88: The Capital of the Seven Waters, Ship Repair

Great Route, Capital of Seven Waters.

It is a fountain-like water city, with buildings layered radially from top to bottom, interspersed with clean and clear water currents. When the sun shines, the whole city is shrouded in a hazy mist, like a dream, not like the world.

As a water city, the road here is very special, except for the bluestone ground in front of the shops on both sides, there are only waterways in the center of the road. Locals raise a magical creature called "Blue" as a means of water transportation, and Blue has a strong carrying capacity and can also be used to carry goods, and Blue has a gentle personality and a pleasant appearance, and the small Blue with a double seat is a popular ride.

From the Navy headquarters, Ron's first stop was the City of the Seven Waters.

Of course, Ron wasn't here to play, nor did he design for Raush's Hades...... The location of their mission is Pukki, the "City of Gastronomy", which can be directly reached by sea train in the City of Seven Waters. As an earthling, Ron knew how much faster high-speed rail was than sea transportation, and directly rejected the plan of taking a boat all the way through the permanent pointer and chose to take the sea train.

At the same time, the reason why this old warship is empty is that there are so many problems that it is dead, and it just happened to come here for renovation. For this reason, Ron has already brought out the red coral given to him by Lieutenant General Peach Rabbit, and there is really no way to use it to pay off his debts.

Anyway, it's not the Navy Headquarters, and no one knows about it if it's sold, so no one should be offended.

……

Sitting on a beach chair in a sunny and breezy day, Ron munched on the cook's carefully prepared steak and complained to Donte, who was wielding a sword not far away.

"Can you believe that it takes two and a half months to take the sea route?! Puki is also a famous food capital on the Great Shipping Route, can't the marshal arrange a branch there?! ”

He finally knew why the Straw Hats had made so much trouble, but there had never been a big enough navy man to destroy them, because the sea was too big and too vast!

A mission often starts in a few months, and when the branches receive an order to intercept it, the devil knows where they have gone.

And the Straw Hats are like guerrillas, they change places with one shot, and there is no way to chase them.

Throughout the original book, except for the pheasants, who judged their route based on the Alabastan incident, blocked them on the desert island in advance, and then only the "tyrant" bear flew by the meat ball fruit to find the Straw Hats.

It is no wonder that the Five Old Stars will agree to the system of the Seven Martial Seas under His Majesty, and the Seven Martial Seas are bastards, but they make up for the positions that the navy can't take care of.

This is a difficult problem caused by the combination of the level of science and technology, the productive forces and the world environment, and there is almost no solution!

There may also be solutions, such as the special product of the capital of the seven waters, the sea train...... Ron narrowed his eyes, picked up the ice and took a puff.

“3778…… 3779……”

Dont didn't know what Ron was thinking, he silently counted the number of times he swung his sword, and then rolled his eyes at Ron: "Major General Ron, you also know that the food is very prosperous, don't you know what is greasy inside?" ”

Donte is very envious of Ron, as the developer of the lightning stimulation method, he can really get stronger lying down. And he practiced diligently all the time, but he couldn't even keep up with the progress.

People are really angry with people than people!

What's even more odious is that during his cultivation time, Ron comes to watch every time, and he is known as improving his swordsmanship cultivation, after all, he has just obtained a sword. Ron even pointed to the sky with one hand, swearing by the thunder of the sky, he definitely didn't come to squeeze him!

The conscience of heaven and earth!!

Thunderbolt man, you swear that the sky thunders???

Are you afraid you're kidding me?!

"Tsk, pirate business!"

Ron smacked his lips and rolled over.

Any land that can be called "prosperous" on the Great Shipping Route is not black and white, it is all gray areas.

After all, pirates are also human beings, and they also have to eat, drink, and Lazar, and if there is a need, there will be benefits, and if there are interests, some people will take risks. The era of pirates was so magnificent, and there were countless pirates who went to sea. Just scrape a little oil and water from a tenth of the passing pirates, and it's quite a lot of wealth!

Therefore, the pirate business is not an exception, on the contrary, but a common phenomenon.

As a result, there are only three or two navies stationed in the huge food capital, and the main value of these navies is only to collect criminals and serve as the eyeliner of the headquarters, and the deterrence of pirates almost depends on the defense force of the general territory. Coupled with the complexity of the seas, the extreme weather is common, and ordinary islands are often swallowed up by tsunamis, and the navy has no idea of establishing branches in the nearby waters.

And then...... It's a disaster!

This time, a certain pirate coalition army has taken a fancy to the interests of the food capital and is attacking aggressively, and it seems that the country is about to be broken, and without foreign aid, they can only support it while asking for help from the naval headquarters thousands of miles away.

As the saying goes, a chef who doesn't want to be a local tyrant is not a qualified pirate, and the Pirate Coalition has its sights on One Piece, wanting to use the wealth of the food capital to build troops, provide soldiers, and then conquer the new world.

I have to say that this is also a group of rebel talents, who know the truth that fighting a war is fighting money.

But they don't know at all, no matter how many ordinary people there are, they can't help the four monsters that stand at the apex of the new world. In front of the real strong, ordinary people don't even have the qualifications to be cannon fodder!

And the Warring States did not send soldiers from the nearest branch, but let Ron, who was idle in the headquarters, go out, which implicitly means that it can be delayed, as long as the pirates don't destroy the country...... A member country that does not obey discipline, our navy fights to the death to eliminate pirates, you are in the pirate business against the sun, and you are getting bigger and bigger, you deserve to die, and the Warring States have been looking at them unpleasantly for several years.

It is not difficult to see from here that there is not a good fool in the upper echelons of the Navy, they are all insidious and cunning black-bellied bastards!

Ron can guarantee that after he finishes the Pirate Coalition with the front foot, there will be his own troops stationed in Puki on the back foot to completely control Puki's border lifeline. And then in the name of protecting the member countries, he was arguing with the other party, and at the same time slowly encroached on Pukina's open pirate business, so there was no need to rush anyway.

Thinking about this, Ron simply turned around halfway and transferred to the capital of the seven waters, repaired the ship by the way, and then took the sea train to recover the lost time.

Just then, the herald ran over, saluted, and said.

"Major Admiral Ron, I can already see the capital of the seven waters, the navigation group asks for instructions!"

"Well, okay. Notify everyone to prepare to dock, everyone disembark in batches, prohibit drinking and disturbing civilians, and those who violate the order are hung up and beaten! ”

"Huh? Can't you drink again? ”

The herald's face was bitter, and his face was sad.

Major General Ron in front of him, like most of the Karpists, doesn't have much of a shelf on weekdays, and can eat a big pot of rice in the cafeteria with ordinary soldiers, which is friendly. After so many days, the people on board were convinced.

But there was only one thing that made all the soldiers feel very depressed!

The navy is a unit, and all the soldiers in the army can drink, including the generals themselves. Therefore, on weekdays, the requirements for soldiers who are not on duty are not strict in this regard, as long as they do not miss things, no one cares if they drink two glasses less.

But Ron is different, he doesn't drink himself, and thinks that drinking must be wrong!

For example, the night he was awarded......

So this warship has an extra rule, everyone can drink a moderate amount of alcohol only one day a week, and all the staff are divided into several batches, regular and quantitative, today you drink, tomorrow they drink, everyone takes turns, the rest of the time drinkers, catch one "hanging" one.

It's really hanging!

Once, seven or eight soldiers had stolen a bottle of wine, and after the cook had gone to complain, a group of men were tied to a mast and hung all day, and when they were put down, they were as dehydrated as dried salted fish.

Under the heavy punishment, this order was thoroughly implemented, and the soldier with good physique was hung for a day, although he would not be dehydrated, but he was tied to the mast and dried for onlookers, and he couldn't afford to lose that person!

Hearing the herald complain, Ron smiled coldly and tapped his fingers on the hilt of Thundercloud's sword, "Oh? Comments? ”

Grunt......

"Nope! Guarantee Order: Forbidden! ”

The herald was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and ran to deliver the news without saying a word.

By the way, one time when Ron was experimenting with thunderclouds, he accidentally released thunder and enveloped the entire war beast, and the guys on the ship, whether they had it or not, were all charcoal-grilled salted fish for a day. Since then, many people have suffered cardiac arrest when they see Ron, and the pain of being repeatedly energized even below is even more terrifying than a sword!

After solving the soldier's appetite problem, Ron turned back and asked, "Dont, do you guard the ship or go out to play?" ”

Donte: "...... Major General Ron, we're not out to play, we're on a mission! ”

"Hi, hi! The train to the city of gastronomy goes back and forth once every ten days, and the last trip departs only seven days, what can you do in those three days? ”

Donte: "......"
