The next day.

Akainu left.

Before leaving, though, he asked about the ironclad warship.

In this regard, Sean could only express his helplessness and told Akaiu that even the Peach Rabbit was originally his own, but now he really doesn't have it.

He can go to Carrera's company to customize, but definitely have to queue up.

As for the three ships behind him that have already started production, I can let one of them be given to him at that time.

As for whether Akaiu will go to the capital of the seven waters to find Esbagu, Sean is not worried at all.

Because he had already been angry with Esbagu, if the navy wanted to order, he could take the order.

It's just that the production side is done by Sean's side.

At the same time, you can only take up to three orders per month.

After all, Sean himself still has a big shortage of warships here.

The current 500 sailors alone need at least two, preferably three.

And Akainu said before that if he wants to help himself deal with the affairs of the first-class branch, then he needs six warships for procurement.

Not to mention, it must also be equipped with many small and medium-sized high-speed warships for daily patrols.

Otherwise, you can't even use such a large ironclad for coastal patrols, right?

It's both wasteful and inappropriate!

Besides, if I really went to the New World to establish the G series branch in more than a year, the strength of the army would not be 500 or 1,000 now.

You know, even on the Great Voyage, even the least populated G series branch has more than 3,000 people.

As the forefront of the navy, the G1 branch even deployed 30,000 sailors.

Therefore, even if you are optimistic about calculating, in this year or so, Sean must build at least thirty warships of various types to meet the needs.

This is no easy task.

There is simply no too rich production to produce too many foreign trade warships.

The most important thing is that even if the entire production capacity supply headquarters of Sean buys it, the Warring States can't afford it.

Again, this is not a wooden sailboat.

If you go down, the cost will be one billion.

In this world, at present, the only one who has the ability to equip this kind of warship on a large scale is the world government, except for the world government.

As for the Navy Headquarters, it's okay to buy a few ships to support the façade, and if you completely reequip them, it will not be realistic at all.

After bidding farewell to the Akainu, Sean contacted Barry to inquire about the warship's production fleet.

It was told that a week later, the second, and self-used version of the warship, could be launched.

Don't look at Esbagu and Frankie, they can build a ship for Luffy from scratch in three days, and all the decorations are included.

But at the end of the day, it was just a wooden ship, and what the Barry were building now was an ironclad ship, not to mention the many complex systems on it.

So, the speed is pretty good now.

Sean then sent the next batch of construction plans to Barry.

Two large ironclad ships will be built at the same time, one for self-use and one for foreign trade.

At the same time, work began on the design of small and medium-sized high-speed warships, which were required to reach a speed of about 35 knots.

What's more interesting is that Sean suddenly remembered that Frankie's guy had developed something exaggerated like a lion's roar in the original book.

This thing, even if it is put in your previous life, it is a proper black technology.

Wouldn't it be a waste if you didn't study it?

So, Sean directly asked Barry to tell Frankie...

Go, hurry up and give me research!

------

Nighttime.

Branch Chief's Office.

Sean looked up at the guy in front of him who wanted to stop talking.

"You guy, when did you start to get squirming?"

"There's a fart

Hurry up and put it down, and then go back to sleep, don't you know if the lights have been turned off?"

At this moment, the person standing in front of Sean's desk is none other than Ace.

He came to Sean in the middle of the night, and then squirmed for a long time without speaking.

It even made Sean wonder if this guy had a crush on a girl in the branch, so he was so virtuous?

"Well, I'm going to confess something!"

"Say, whoever you like, as long as it's not in the corner of my wall, then it's fine!"

"Uh... It's not about that."

"It's not about that, so what are you squirming around there and don't you hurry up and say?"

"Well, actually, I lied to you about something before, I didn't find the burnt fruit by accident." br>

Gritting his teeth, Ace finally spoke.

However, Sean didn't show any surprise.

At first, when he heard that Ace had found the Burning Fruit on that desert island, he did think that he was lucky.

But when I think about it, something is really wrong, because it was too much of a coincidence.

It is said that not long after he arrived on the island, he found this fruit.

If it was really so easy to find, why had I never found it in the first three years of walking around the island?

So it's more likely that Ace already knew where the burnt fruit was.

"You're not surprised?"

"Why should I be surprised? Tell me, how do you know where the burnt fruit is?"

"Well, you know who my irresponsible father is, and the old man gave me a letter he left for me after taking me back to Windmill Village."

"A letter of apology?"

Sean asked, raising a frown.

"If that's the case, maybe I'll forgive him!"

Ace smiled wryly.

"When I opened the letter, there was only a piece of paper inside, and this drawing was not any words he left for me, but a treasure map."

"Isn't it ridiculous, you say?"

"Since you knew that you were going to die, why did you provoke my mother, and after knowing that my mother was pregnant, she immediately ran away and turned herself in, and then took this opportunity to set off the era of pirates."

"And what is my mother?"

"Is it just a tool man who wants to leave his blood behind at the end?"

"And what am I?"

"The most ridiculous thing is that I thought he had left a letter to express his apologies, but it was just a treasure map."

"So, before he died, did even me, who was not yet born, start calculating?"

As he said this, Ace's feelings got a little out of control.

Sean didn't bother, let alone comfort.

Instead, he waited quietly for a few minutes before he spoke.

"So, what this treasure map points to is the burning fruit?"

"Yes, when I followed Mr. Sanders to the desert island for actual combat training, I found out that the desert island was the island marked on the treasure map, and then according to the location in my memory, I quickly dug up the box where the burnt fruit was stored."

"Ace, don't you think it's strange?"

After a moment of silence, Sean suddenly asked.

"What's weird?"

"In the records, although the Burning Fruit is a natural fruit, it is not a powerful natural system, and your father is One Piece Roger, if he wants, he can get a better natural system, and even a powerful and rare phantom beast species, but why did he leave you an ordinary Burning Fruit in the natural system?"

"This..."

Ace, who had never thought of this, suddenly noticed that something was wrong under Sean's reminder.

Is there anything special about burning fruits?

"According to the Devil Fruit, the Burning Fruit is the most

It can reach 1000 degrees."

"No, I'm going to be able to reach nearly 3,000 degrees now!"

"What if I didn't have it, and Retus wouldn't have taught you a lot of the basics?"

"I seem to see what you mean, that is, the Burnt Fruit is not weak, but no one has ever discovered the correct way to use this fruit?"

"Yes, I don't care what Roger left this fruit for you, but I'm pretty sure he knows the true purpose of burning the fruit."

"Damn, what the hell is he planning?"

Ace scolded secretly.

After talking to Sean, he felt more and more that his father must have left something behind before he died, and the reason why he left himself the burning fruit was probably ...

He was part of his plan.

This guy...

What exactly do you want to do?

Even if you die, do you want to continue to play with your life?

No, I won't do what you want!

Look, the era of pirates you set off will end by me personally!
