(You can resume the normal update tomorrow, it's still 6 a.m.) =^_^=）

Totland, the "nation" of the New World, is a superpower, and it contains a vast sea.

Cake Island, the headquarters of the BIGMOM Pirates, is the main body, and there are 34 islands scattered around it, governed by 34 "ministers", and the general name of these islands and sea areas is "Totland"!

After being taken away by a party sent by the Charlotte family, Frankie and his steamboat have arrived on an island called "Nutty Island".

This is the territory of Charlotte Armand, the third daughter of the Charlotte family, the "Nut Minister" and nicknamed "Lady Ghost".

There were still a few days to go from Cake Island, where BIGMOM was located, so Frankie and his gang planned to stay at Nut Island for one night to recuperate and set off the next day.

Charlotte Armand is of serpent-headed ancestry, and as the name suggests, her neck is as slender and flexible as that of a snake, and her figure is as graceful as a snake.

Obviously, BIGMOM and many races such as the Fish-Man and the Snakehead Clan have unexplained stories......

Armand has long, wavy blue hair, two large gold earrings on her ears, and a long neck adorned with heart-shaped and ring-shaped ornaments, and she usually wears a light blue and black striped dress and a very wide hat, like an umbrella.

Judging by her appearance alone, this should be an elegant, quiet and beautiful lady.

But in fact, Armand is a keen smoker, and she is a ruthless female swordsman with the famous sword "White Fish".

The BIGMOM Pirates do not produce anything, and most of the supplies are looted from neighboring countries, and every time they steal ingredients for BIGMOM, Armand will kill many enemies who resist them.

When the "groom" Frankie was brought to Nut Island by the greeting party, Armand personally came to Frankie's ship to pay his respects to Frankie, and by the way, he also planned to see this new warship that claimed to be able to cross the windless zone without any external force and sea beasts.

"Yo, this is my own invention of the steamship called the 'Smoking Frankie', my beloved Smoking Frankie not only has a speed far beyond the speed of a sailboat, it can even safely cross the windless zone!"

Taking Armand on a tour of the steamboat, Frankie introduces Armand to many of the features of the steamboat.

The other features are not so good as not to surprise the well-informed third daughter of the Charlotte family too much, and there are only three things that really concern Armand.

One is what Frankie calls "speed".

If they can gain the speed to crush other ships, the pirate ships of the Charlotte family can gain absolute superiority when chasing enemies and fleeing strong enemies, and completely win the initiative in naval battles.

The second is the ability to "cross windless zones".

The New World and the West Sea border the North Sea, and if it weren't for the windless zone, the BIGMOM Pirates would have ruled the North Sea and the West Sea long ago, and they wouldn't have to be huddled in the New World, a small land (compared to the entire sea).

"Smoking Frankie?"

Armand muttered the name in his mouth, and another name gradually came to his mind: "What does the World Government's sea train 'Smoking Tom' have to do with your ship?" ”

"Hahahaha, I knew you would ask that!"

Frankie lifted his briefs, Armand frowned slightly, but Frankie said indifferently: "Honestly, I just stole the smoking technology of the Smoking Tom, so I invented this Smoking Frankie!"

What do you think? That's amazing, isn't it? After the death of the inventor of the sea train, there is no second person in the world who can have such technology as me! ”

Frankie used the term "smoke technology" instead of "steam technology", and the other party, as a scientifically illiterate person, couldn't understand the difference, so he simply fooled around.

For the pervert in front of him who only wore underwear, Armand was very disgusted in his heart.

But for the sake of the other party's technology, this "political marriage" had to be carried out.

What's more, it's not yourself who marries this pervert anyway.

When the Charlotte family had not yet become the current Four Emperors, some of the top sons and daughters were still very close.

After BIGMOM landed on the sea, most of the children born for various interests were like puppets, not only "fear" rather than "respect" for BIGMOM, but also the relationship between them was not very good, and even mocked each other.

As the third daughter in the family, Armand naturally doesn't care that his sister, who he doesn't like, marries such a perverted man.

In addition to the original "Four Generals" of Snag (25 sons) and Smuji (14 women), the children of the Charlotte family ranked 10th are not as good as one in terms of combat effectiveness, and the further back they are, the worse they are.

It may have something to do with the fact that they were born in a different environment.

The top 10 children are all veterans who once fought the world with BIGMOM, as strong as Katakuri, even after learning to walk, he has the strength of a monster, and when he was young, he was often ridiculed by others, and his sister Bray was disfigured for this.

By the time the child was born, BIGMOM had become a well-known sea thief.

It's like the twenty kings who once established the world government, not to mention all of them, but the vast majority of them are wise and martial monarchs, and more than 800 years later, their descendants have countless mental retardations.

After learning the origin of the name "Smoking Frankie", Armand asked his third question: "You said that this warship of yours can use torpedoes?" Isn't it possible for submarines to use torpedoes? ”

In this world, in fact, it was originally the submarine technology.

Law's "Hearts Pirates" use the submarine "Polar Dive", and there are some pirates in the New World who use submarines instead of sailboats, and they also have the technology to launch torpedoes.

As we all know, the source of power for submarines is propeller propulsion.

As for why propeller technology has not been applied to ships, whether it is because of energy problems or other problems, this can only be turned into an "unsolved mystery of the world".

Armand cares about torpedoes, naturally not because she is afraid of the power of torpedoes, she herself is a sword hero, and ordinary torpedoes in this world cannot hurt her at all.

She was interested in the hit rate of the torpedoes.

The accuracy of the cannon is extremely low, and whether or not it can hit the enemy depends on luck, not to mention that there may be strong people on the opponent's ship who can deal with the cannonballs.

Torpedoes are different.

Torpedoes that sneak below the surface of the sea are difficult to detect by the enemy on the surface of the sea, and can use a "guidance system" with a hit rate of more than 95%, which can be said to be a world away from a cannon that relies on luck.

Moreover, the biggest threat of torpedoes is the destruction of enemy ships, as long as they successfully hit the enemy ships, they can easily tear the hull apart, causing serious damage and causing the raging sea water to pour into the holds, which is almost irretrievable.

It's a pity that the torpedo is a high-tech weapon that can only be used on submarines and cannot be used on ordinary warships.

"Who said that only submarines can use torpedoes?"

Frankie, however, had a more surprised expression than Armand.

In Frankie's view, the torpedo was nothing more than a weapon, and it had never been heard of being limited to submarines.

And in fact, on Earth, even airplanes can use torpedoes.

After a brief exchange of technical issues with Armand, Frankie personally escorted Armand out of the Smoking Frankie.

After today's observation, Armand has already made up his mind that he will absorb Frankie, a technical talent, into the Charlotte family no matter what.

ALTHOUGH BIGMOM'S BRAIN IS NOT VERY GOOD, SHE KNOWS THE IMPORTANCE OF TALENT.

The giants with absolute power, the fish-people who can control the sea and fish, and the black technology kingdom of Jerma ...... These are all objects that BIGMOM is trying to win over and exploit.

The "marriages" she arranged were all purposeful transactions, and she would never give her children to others for nothing.

That same night, when Armand Island was as prosperous and well-organized as ever, a violent explosion erupted from the town.

Rumble!

The skyrocketing firelight illuminated the dark night, and even Armand, who was far away in the villa, could hear the faint sound of an explosion in the distance.

"Blue Blue Blue ......"

The phone bug on the table screamed frantically, and Armand took it.

Before she could speak, the phone bug danced like the other party: "Is it Lord Armand?" It's a big deal, my General Frankie has been stolen! ”

"General French was stolen?"

Armand repeated Frankie's words.

"Admiral Frankie", whom she has seen, is a strange-looking robot that is said to have more destructive power than the Navy's "pacifists".

This was originally one of the "dowry gifts" given to the Charlotte family by the other party for marriage, but now it was stolen, is this worth it?

Rumble!

Another violent explosion was heard, and Armand frowned and looked in the direction of the flaming sky in the distance.

So what "General French" wouldn't be there, would it?

She lowered her voice and asked, "Where are you now?" ”

"It's in the hotel you arranged, I'm about to go back to the ship to have a look!"

"Don't move around there first, I'll go over!"

Armand also had some doubts in his heart, could it be the ghost brought by Frankie?

So she wants to make sure and see if the number of people brought by the other party has decreased.

"It's all here?"

"It's all here!"

Armand returns to the "Smoking Frankie" with Frankie and the others.

They had already registered the number of people on board, and there were indeed no fewer people here.

"Frankie, come with me, everyone else stays here, don't run around!"

Armand made his rounds around, but couldn't find any flaws, so he left a sentence and chased after the suspicious existence that was causing trouble, leaving a team of soldiers to keep an eye on the crew of the "Smoking Frankie".

No one noticed that Olga, the "sister of Frankie" who was being protected alone in her bedroom, was sitting in front of a leather case at this time, her little face full of excitement, and she was pressing back and forth on the instrument full of buttons in the leather case.

No one stole General Frankie at all, and General Frankie was completely remotely controlled by Olga using a remote control!

The special robot named "General Frankie" was originally made by Frankie in the abandoned research institute of Vegapunk called "Organ Island", using the technology left behind by Vegapunk and the "Valpo Alloy" produced by the "Swallow Factory".

When General French confronts pacifists, he is as relaxed and happy as a father beating his son.

The robot of the same name in Frankie's hands is certainly not as powerful as the future "General Frankie".

With the help of Asiere, a genius scientist who invented pure gold, Frankie has overcome General Frankie's technical difficulties.

Unfortunately, there is a lack of a special alloy called "Valpo Alloy".

If it weren't for the fact that he really didn't want to become a landlubber, Frankie would have had the urge to eat the "swallow fruit" himself.

Thanks to the cooperation of Frankie and Assière and the many scientists kidnapped from the Golden Lion, although the "artificial intelligence" of the pacifists has not yet been invented, remote control technology has been realized.

This is a feature that the future General Frankie did not achieve!

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, who would have believed that the person behind the robot wreaking havoc on Nut Island was actually just a crazy blonde girl?

During that time on the empty island, Olga manipulated "General Frankie" to move around when he had nothing to do, and it can be said unceremoniously that in addition to Frankie himself, Olga was the one who was most familiar with General Franky's operations!

Frankie almost cried when he saw the scene of General Frankie.

"My dear General French, why did you do such a thing?"

Frankie is also a dramatist, and in the original book, when fighting against the "tough guy" Seigno, he also knew to trick Señol into helping his grandmother cross the road, so as to gain preparation time for his attack on the SMILE factory.

General Frankie turned around and raised his hand to aim at Frankie, his palm opened, and a cannon barrel appeared like an iron arm Astro Boy, and the energy began to condense in the light visible to the naked eye!

"Be careful!"

Armand pushed Frankie away, as if he was dumbfounded, and in the next second, a beam of energy blasted out a large crater where Frankie was standing, and the rubble flew over.

Bastard Olga, is you really scared to do it?

Frankie silently cursed Olga.

This is not part of the plan!

But it is worth mentioning that Olga's move just dispelled most of Armand's suspicions about Frankie.

"Slow Ballade!"

Armand slowly drew his famous sword, "Whitefish", and slashed at General French at a speed that appeared to be extremely slow to the naked eye.

In the distance, Olga stared at the screen, pursed his lips, and manipulated General Frankie to pull out the "Marauder's Sword" behind his back!

"Blue Blue Blue ......"

Cake Island, the eldest son Perospero's phone bug screamed.

"What? Requesting support? Isn't even Armand an opponent of the enemy? ”

The phone bug vividly mimicked the man's eager and panicked expression: "No...... It's not that Lord Armand doesn't work hard, but ...... But the other party is a steel robot! ”
