The City of Seven Waters,

The advent of the era of pirates may be a wonderful time for those ambitious careerists, but it is an absolute nightmare for ordinary people who intend to live in peace.

The city is full of buildings and waterways, and because of the tsunami that hits the island every year, there are no main materials for shipbuilding: steel and wood, so everything has to be imported.

However, due to Roger's words that opened the era of pirates, the number of pirates wreaking havoc on the sea increased, coupled with the fierce and changeable sea climate of the great route, all of which seriously interfered with the trade between the capital of the seven waters and the outside world.

The increase in the price of materials has reduced the profits of the shipyard, coupled with the economic downturn in the overall environment, which has led to a decrease in the business of the shipyard, and the shipyards in the capital of seven waters have even fought with each other in order to grab orders.

The large number of unemployed people led to a deterioration of law and order, which made the deviant maritime merchants reluctant to go to the city, which in turn caused the unemployment rate to rise, creating a large number of idle, disgruntled workers...

In this cycle, the city will sooner or later become a dead city, a desperate future for most people.

And ordinary people face the vast sea... You can't even abandon your homeland!

Poverty, hunger, chaos, death, until one day the mountains are exhausted, and the remaining desperate citizens will take up arms, drive tattered ships, raise the skull flags drawn randomly, and become the new pirates.

But that's all changed.

Because of the words of Mr. 'Don Quixote Rosinandi':

The sea train project, our family has invested!

Ships belonging to the Don Quixo family brought large quantities of steel, timber, and food.

Then an order was placed in the City of Seven Waters, and a large number of shipyards that had been shut down were put up and running, and all kinds of parts were made by shipwrights, and then concentrated in the direction of Tom's studio.

The city, which had been lifeless, is alive again, and there is hope in people's lives, as well as words of thanks to 'Rosinandi' and 'Tom'.

But none of this matters to the initiators.

Located in the scrap pile under the bridge, Tom's Studio has been easily transformed and expanded into a huge shipyard by Pika's ability, with a large number of workers coming in and out, constantly assembling various accessories with drawings.

"Sea Train... Can this thing really run on the sea? ”

In the wide shipyard, Torrebol pointed to the 'long'... The ship asked suspiciously.

"Absolutely,"

Rossi nodded confidently.

Although what is being built does not look similar to the 'train' of the previous life, it can only be said to be exactly the same.

But it's not a train, it's a real 'boat'. - That's right, the sea train is essentially a ship, nothing more than a steam-powered ship.

The 'track' on the sea is only a pointing role, and the sea train can also fly without the track.

These are the facts of the 'future', and the three Toms were able to build two sea trains in ten years from discarded materials (the first of which was abandoned because it was too fast and unstable).

Now, with the strong support of the Don Quixote family, a year's worth of research on the sea train is not a problem.

And it's not just about money, it's about technology:

"Mechanical engineering isn't my specialty, but I know a little bit about it."

A tall man in armor is discussing the details of the 'Sea Train' with Tom the Boatsmith.

"Although the essence of energy technology is to 'boil water', Bei··· Ahem, a friend of mine has developed a 'supercritical CO2 heat engine' that can provide more power. ”

"The principle is that after heating carbon dioxide at high pressure to 600 °C, carbon dioxide in a supercritical state will retain both liquid and gas properties, so as to push the steam turbine at a more intense speed than high-temperature water vapor..."

？？？？

"Ah, my sea train... It shouldn't be that much motivation. ”

Tom, the fish-man boatman, touched the cold sweat on his forehead, he wanted to build a 'sea train', not a 'sea gundam'. An ordinary steam turbine is enough, but the 'supercritical carbon dioxide heat engine' is too high-end...

I don't know what kind of technology is hidden in this 'armor robot' next to me?

"Really? It's a shame—"

Among the armor robots, 'Tie Steno' sighed regretfully, scientific research can be very expensive.

His armor exoskeleton has already cost the Don Quixote family hundreds of millions of Baileys, but the strength...

Dealing with ordinary pirates is naturally crushing, but not to mention strong people like Rosie, Dover, and Tani, even other cadres of the family can easily dismantle this armor exoskeleton.

For the powerhouses of this world, dismantling the Gundam empty-handed is just a basic exercise.

Otherwise, 800 years ago, the 'huge kingdom' with lunar technology would not have been overturned by the world government.

Therefore, after hearing that Rossi had invested heavily in the 'Sea Train' project, Dr. Tiesteno immediately came to help enthusiastically, on the one hand, he naturally made some contributions to the world, so that ordinary people can also enjoy the convenience of science and technology.

On the other hand, there are plans to use the funds of the 'sea train' to develop new turbines for themselves.

"Then you see how this is: tantalum cobalt alloy, one millimeter of homogeneous tantalum cobalt alloy can easily withstand most flintlock lead bullets on the sea, even cannonballs-"

"Dr. T, stop harassing Mr. Tom."

While the good-natured fish-man boatman was sweating profusely, Rosie, dressed in a black feather coat, came over to relieve him.

"Once the sea train is built, we will be able to connect all the islands on this route, and the convenience of transportation will bring great wealth."

"At that time, it is not impossible to allocate tens of billions of Baileys to you every year as research funds."

Begapunk, which is controlled by the World Government, is able to create 'Pacifists', 'Children's Seven Martial Seas', 'Clone Female Individuals', 'Giant Gundam'... and other high-tech weapons, the Don Quixote family naturally cannot be left behind.

It's just that let's get the 'sea train' done now.

"Mr. Tom, leave the question of motivation to me."

"What's next about what you proposed..."

Among the armor robots, Dr. Tiesdano instantly came to his senses, a series of hurried professional terms, and he couldn't wait for the sea train to be completed and set sail tomorrow, so as to get enough funds for experiments!

"Okay, okay, Dr. T."

Tom the shipwright was very satisfied with the doctor assisted by the Don Quixote family: the other party's level was definitely the best in the world, although he was not a shipwright, but materials engineering, power energy, and other things were universal.

Being able to create an individual soldier's 'exoskeleton' can naturally provide a lot of help for the manufacture of sea trains.

If it weren't for the constant attempt to cheat from his own sea train project... Ahem, it's better to divide the funds.

"Let's go, leave it to the professionals."

Rosie, as a capable swordsman, also couldn't understand the words from the mouths of two science and technology experts. But it doesn't matter, as long as they can make the 'sea train'.

As for the principle?

Whoever cares about him, as long as he can use it.

At the same time, Rosie is well aware that Tom still has a treasure hidden in his body: the blueprints of Hades! Or 'anti-Hades'?

In short, it was a design left by the craftsmen of the Seven Waters Capital 800 years ago after creating the 'Hades' so that future generations could fight against the Hades.

However, Rosie even knows the whereabouts of the 'Hades', so naturally he will not seek this design drawing.

And again:

Even with the blueprints, with the current strength of the Don Quixote family, they can't do it!

Through this cooperation of the sea train, we will deepen the connection with the shipwrights of the capital of the seven waters, and maybe one day, when the Don Quixote family grows, they will be able to build their own 'Hades'.

Unlike the sand crocodile's approach of trying to create the original, Rosie prefers to create it herself!

"Torre, I'll leave it to you."

After leaving the shipyard, Rossi instructed Torrebol to keep an eye on security.

He didn't want to hear any nonsense like 'the shipyard exploded for no reason' or 'Tom had a sudden illness'. The Don Quixote family's high-profile contracting of the sea train project will surely attract a lot of attention.

Whether it's the World Government or other pirates... Some people don't want to see the Don Quixote family grow.

"Hey, hey, hey, this is a big project that the family has invested tens of billions of Baileys."

Torrebol nodded, how could he not pay attention to so much money invested?

"Jorah and Pique will help me fill in the gaps, with the three of us watching, no one can make trouble here!"

"Hmm,"

Señor Pique, who was already a handsome gentleman, lit a cigarette,

"The security here is left to us, and there will be no mistakes!"

Pique selected some of the pirates who had actively or passively defected to the Don Quixote family over the years to form a spy unit.

According to the training he used to do when he was in CP, he is no longer inferior to ordinary CP agents, and it is more than enough to protect the safety of a shipyard.

If you meet a master, such as a professional like CP9, it will naturally be up to the four of them to make a move.

In addition to Torrebol, Chora, Pique, there are Pika who are quietly hiding in this shipyard.

With his stone ability, it only takes a split second to turn an entire shipyard into a part of his body.

"Rosie,"

Just as Rosie was about to leave, Jorah suddenly stopped him.

"Well, if this so-called 'sea train' can really fly on the sea, can it..."

Looking at the squirming graceful woman, Rosie already knew what she was going to say.

"Is it right to build a sea train in Odense?"

Jorah nodded, and Rosie continued.

"Absolutely."

"After the sea train is manufactured and the route is successfully opened, I plan to lay a large number of sea train routes in Beihai. - How can we say that we also came out of Beihai, and after we have the ability, we should support our hometown. ”

"Well, thanks, Rosie."

Jorati bowed slightly,

Although most of the cadres of the Don Quixote family were 'born' in Beihai, to be honest, Torrebol, who has been orphaned since childhood, can they have some affection for their 'hometown'?

Only Jorah, the former queen, would have the idea of 'benefiting her hometown'.

————

"Hahaha, yes, this cannon is strong enough!"

"yes, I'll just say that 'Frankie God of War 9' is invincible."

When Rossi walked out of the shipyard, he saw a steel battleship with hideous shapes, gun barrels, and full of 'cyberpunk' style slowly returning home.

And behind this small battleship, which was full of welds and rivets, dragged the corpse of a sea king more than fifty meters long.

"Your weapons are amazing, come to our family!"

The half-grown teenager Guladius, who has already begun to develop, is trying to 'recruit' his little buddies.

"Hahaha, that's not going to work,"

Flam, who was also a half-grown child, turned his head and took a stealthily glance at 'Tom's Studio', who had been taken in by Tom a few years earlier when he had been abandoned by his parents in the dump of the abandoned ship.

Although he never said it, Tom was a father-like figure in Flåm's mind.

Even if he was invited by a 'good friend' he had finally met, he was reluctant to leave Tom's studio.

Carter Flam,

Rossi looked up at the child who had returned from hunting the Sea Kings with Guladius,

Flam · That is, the future Frankie, who is born with an extraordinary love for artillery and weapons that cause destruction, coupled with his unparalleled talent and out-of-the-box character, is a headache for the 'brother's general iceberg.

Later, Spandham's father, Spanda, used the battleship built by Flam to bomb the 'Justice Ship', causing Tom, who had been exonerated to be tried again, and taken to Justice Island to be executed.

Feeling extremely guilty, Flamem ran to intercept the sea train in his body, was seriously injured by the collision, and had to transform himself into a cyborg.

Because his father was killed by himself, Flam, who had been crazy about building weapons warships, stopped building ships. In order to protect the 'Hades design' explained by the teacher, he changed his name to Frankie, pretended to be crazy and stupid every day, and became a well-known perverted boss in the capital of seven waters.

However, now that Tom is building a sea train for the Don Quixote family, Flam's fate will naturally change.

"Guradius, don't force your friends!"

Rosie, who walked over, patted the blue 'hedgehog head' of Guradius,

"A man will go to sea one day, and you don't need to persuade him at that time."

"Rosie!"

On the other side of the sea, the Jackdaw Flamingo was moored, and Dover on the deck beckoned.

"It's time to go!"
