Chapter 131: Selling Ideas
Luo Yi remained involved in the patrol, targeting those with Devil Fruit abilities while giving the fortress time to regain its strength, especially the warships. And in the past two days, he encountered a pirate ship again, but the other party was really rubbish, and no one could fight, which made Luo Yi very disappointed and sent it to the bottom of the sea with a knife.
This kind of patrol pirate ship does not have the slightest wealth on it, and this is what Luo Yi is most angry about, it is completely to dispose of some scum. Now that the fortress has begun to work, although the down payment is enough for him, the later payment will require a large sum, and he still needs to accumulate the money for the next backblade, as well as enough rare metals.
Counter-bladed knife. The metal used in the hidden fight is relatively ordinary, and Luo Yi hopes to use Hailou Stone, but this idea is not very realistic. Smoker's weapon has a sea tower stone on the front end, but it is inlaid into it, not forged directly.
Hailou stone is a solid stone, which can be polished but not forged, and only the metal extracted from it can be forged, but it is too expensive. It is normal for the stone to contain minerals, but the Hailou stone itself is a rare stone, and then extracting the metal from it is even rarer, and the price of the metal is calculated according to the gram in the navy, and the price of one million Baileys is required per gram.
How much money does it cost to collect enough of such materials to make a knife? And Luo Yi has no intention of giving up after learning about this information, the pirates have it, it depends on whether he has the ability to kill them and replace them with Bailey, he is going to collect Devil Fruits anyway, it is better to fight hard.
So Luo Yi on patrol was very much looking forward to the appearance of the pirates with a high bounty, and at the same time, he was still constantly cultivating the armed color domineering, which was a necessary means for him to face the natural Devil Fruit ability, and he had to wrap it around his knife. Of course, the special superhuman and animal lines are not easy to deal with, but this is very rare.
Colonel Tina escorted a hundred boatmen to the G-2 fortress, Luo Yi did not go out to patrol today, but specially greeted Colonel Tina, Colonel Tina got off the ship, Luo Yi hurriedly stepped forward, "Really trouble you Colonel Tina." Luo Yi saluted first, after all, the other party had helped him, and now his military rank had surpassed the other party.
"Your Excellency, Major General." Colonel Tina was unhappy, but she kept her identity.
"Please." Luo Yi didn't say much to her here, after all, the two knew each other, and they needed to ensure the difference in rank in front of the soldiers, but they didn't use it in private. "Thank you for escorting them here." The two talked as they walked.
"You're moving forward really fast, but it's also your strength to kill Klockdahl alone, but Smoker is probably going crazy." Tina burst into laughter.
"Colonel Smoker's personality is different from mine, basically I will not go against the orders of the headquarters now, and act on my own, because my goal is the marshal of the Navy, and for this position, first of all, I need to make a good impression on the top of the Navy." Luo Yi told the truth, his current identity is not enough for him to do whatever he wants, and act according to his temper and temperament.
"And what about the attitude of the world government?" Tina asked.
"I don't care about that, I want the support of the top brass of the Navy, not the world government, they are more like an obstacle to my justice." Facing Luo Yi's outspokenness, Tina glanced at him in surprise.
"You actually told me this, if you become a marshal, won't you kick out the world government?"
"Isn't that bad? The world government is too domineering, which makes many countries already dissatisfied, and the existence of the Draconians is the main reason why those pirates go to sea, and many civilians want to be free. Although it is said that freedom must be under the constraints of the law, but the current law is completely oppressive, the Draconians actually have the right to lawlessness, don't tell you that you can endure these, the Chambord Islands are so chaotic, is there no laissez-faire relationship between the naval headquarters? ”
Indeed, the Chambord Islands are very chaotic, and some of them are completely controlled by pirates, and the naval headquarters is not far from there. Especially when the Draconians were attacked, there was a general who arrived extremely quickly, and this kind of reaction speed couldn't limit the activities of the pirates? It's just that the Navy Headquarters also hates the Celestial Dragons, so they don't want to govern there.
What is the concept of the existence of a general? There is a clear indication in the anime that those pirate novas were beaten and, and even Luffy and they were sent away and away from there, only to return again two years later.
"Why did you tell Tina?" Tina's way of speaking is really peculiar, like a third person, and Luo Yi is used to it.
"Why can't I tell you? My philosophy needs the approval of many navies, I do not intend to suppress the navy with force, the idea of justice needs to be recognized, and I am sure that you and Colonel Smoker will support me in the future. That's right, Luo Yi is looking for his supporters, and the pheasant is the first, but the two are still in a competitive relationship, and the pheasant is also the first time that he has exposed the idea of wanting the position of marshal in front of others.
The two recognize each other as competitors, and no matter who becomes the marshal, they will support each other, although Luo Yi did not say it clearly, that is because he has the confidence to surpass the pheasant, not only in strength.
"You're so cunning, are you asking Tina to send you a message?"
"Of course, you'll see Colonel Smoker often, and I don't know when I'll see him again, and I don't know how long I'll need to be here, and the World Government will do everything it can to keep me here."
"Okay, Tina understands, but Tina can't give you any answer right now, Tina needs to think about it."
"Of course."
The two entered the fortress as they talked, and the shipwrights of the iceberg stayed under the arrangement of Major Bada, and the foreman Barry directly asked to start work immediately, and Major Bada also allowed it.
Their participation strengthened the strength of the maintenance team, especially the excellent skills of these shipwrights, and they directly began to carry out comprehensive repairs and maintenance of warships.
Major Bada used this time to start training the soldiers at the base, after all, a comprehensive overhaul requires the removal of some things on the ship, especially the artillery, the gun chamber is generally the most seriously damaged place, and the artillerymen can use this time to maintain all the guns in order to achieve a higher equipment integrity rate, this is a long-term process, a full 48 warships need to be maintained and overhauled, and the time is not short.
