174 Eyes on Sean in the Advancing City
There is a difference between ideals and reality.
Unless it is the protagonist of the Mandate of Heaven, otherwise, the ideal that is detached from reality is stupid.
Usually, people who only talk about ideals are the type who have an extreme lack of knowledge of the world.
When the strength is insufficient, see the reality clearly.
And when the strength is enough, overturn reality.
Only then will you be truly qualified to talk about your ideals.
Because, as you reign over the world, you can already turn your ideals into reality.
It is also at this time that the ideal equals the reality.
So, Sean doesn't think there's anything wrong with what Akainu did in O'Hara.
On the other hand, if the pheasant were to take the lead and let the boatload go, the consequences would likely be tenfold, hundredfold, or even thousandfold civilian casualties.
Perhaps, the pheasant can gain a good reputation, and then the greater casualties and the resulting notoriety will all be attributed to the world government.
But isn't that another kind of selfishness?
Those in power must have the consciousness to bear the notoriety, and even if they are insulted by the world, they will insist on making the most correct choice.
At this point, the pheasant is much, much worse than the red inu.
"Hopefully, she'll figure it out!"
Sean, who walked out of the office, sighed slightly.
------
Ten days later.
With more than 300 sailors, Akainu came to the Sixteenth Branch.
Say, why did he come so quickly?
The reason is...
This cargo was already impatient, and directly robbed Peach Rabbit's warship.
Therefore, at this moment, two identical ironclad ships appeared in the harbor of the central island.
"General Sakasky!"
"This... Is that my ironclad?"
Walking down the gangway, Akainu looked at another warship not far away and asked excitedly.
"Yes, Admiral Sakasky, it's exactly the same as Lieutenant Admiral Peachrabbit's, are you still satisfied?"
"Satisfied, so satisfied!"
The more I look at it, the more I like it.
Although it is exactly the same as the Peach Rabbit, after all, this one belongs to him, so he is naturally excited.
The sheen of metal, three huge triple guns, plus secondary guns arranged on the sides.
It simply satisfies all the fantasies of Akainu about warships.
But if you had to let Sean say, it would be...
Does that satisfy you?
If you really want to say it, this cargo is the cruiser level in your previous life, and when will you get the battlecruiser or even the battleship out by yourself.
That doesn't scare you?
"Admiral Sakasky, do you need me to help train your people?"
"No, half of the 300 people on my ship are Peach Rabbit people, on the way here, my people have been learning from them for ten days, and there should be no problem with the operation!"
Akainu waved his hand directly, indicating that he didn't need it.
In order to save time, in order to be able to command this warship as soon as possible.
Just like he said, every day along the way, let his subordinates learn how to operate this new warship with Peach Rabbit's subordinates.
"But Sean, there's something I want to ask you!"
"What's the problem?"
"This kind of warship uses Coke as fuel, and I heard from Peach Rabbit that she has tried to buy Coke in large quantities, but now there are not many goods on the islands, and they are basically just the previous inventory, and the companies that produce Coke, whether it is the boss or the employees, or the production equipment, are now missing." ….
"General Sakaski, are you worried about the follow-up fuel supply?"
"Yes!"
Akainu nodded.
The warship is there, but if there is no fuel, then this thing is not equal to a big lump of scrap metal?
"Don't worry about this, after all, once the new warships are used in large quantities, the matter of Coke as fuel will be known by other forces sooner or later, if anyone does anything about Coke at that time, won't it directly jam the neck of our navy?"
"So, that Coke company didn't disappear out of nowhere, but was secretly bought by me and moved to the East China Sea."
"At the same time, I've kept the recipe for Coke a secret, and I'm not going to sell it again, even if the pirates rob our ironclad ship, it's just a lump of iron without Coke."
"As for the follow-up fuel supply, the headquarters can directly purchase it from me, and the price will be even cheaper than before, after all, this thing will not be used for profit in the future, but exclusively for our navy."
Hearing this, Akainu's eyes lit up.
It turned out that Sean did it.
Yes, I was thoughtful enough to solve the problem early.
At the same time, Coke can also be used to prevent the ironclad from falling into the hands of pirates, causing them to attack the navy with the ironclad in turn.
"But you spent a lot of money on that company, all the employees and the boss, and you bought it all, right?"
"If it's not profitable..."
Akainu thought about it, he should still let Sean earn some, otherwise he couldn't say anything.
"It's okay, it's not completely unprofitable, after all, the wages of employees, as well as equipment maintenance and whatever, still cost money, but it's 20% cheaper than before, so it's no problem."
"As for the money to buy this company, it doesn't matter, I'm not short of money at the moment!"
"Besides, contributing to the Navy is not what it should be!"
Sean was awe-inspiring, and Akaiu was moved.
What a comrade!!
However, he won't know...
The actual cost of Coke, even if you add daily equipment maintenance, employee salaries and so on.
As long as the number of ironclad ships increases in the future, this cost will definitely not be higher than thirty percent of the supply price.
That's right, the supply price here refers to the price that Sean will supply to the Navy in the future.
It's still a huge profit.
In the meantime, Sean has already had the side try to produce a batch of low-sugar Cokes with a slightly adjusted recipe.
After a series of tests by Frankie, it was found that this low-sugar cola would not only reduce the range of the warship by 23%, but also reduce the life of the power system by 38%.
This further degrades the performance of the already castrated foreign trade version, and reduces its final power system life.
Crucially, the cost of Coke can be reduced by 17%.
It can almost be understood that this is an inferior fuel ...
As for why he did this, Sean also has his own considerations.
Unless one day the entire navy is in the hands of the world and can be independent of the world government.
At that time, Sean will give the Navy a complete refurbishment for its own use and provide genuine Coke fuel.
Otherwise, the Navy will be supplied with only foreign trade versions of warships and low-quality Coke fuel. ….
After the handover, Akainu didn't stay long, but left quickly.
He couldn't wait to personally command this ironclad warship, which was completely his own.
After he left, Sean went to the branch's underground research institute.
------
"Retus, how's that project going?"
"Lieutenant General, we have made a batch of experimental bombs, but we need capable people to test them before we can determine the final effect!"
"The power of the Devil Fruit... How much do you need?"
"If you want to test it comprehensively, it will take about ten people!"
"It's not okay, it's too much, what if it's not a full test?"
"That should be enough for two people, but this can only test some basic items!"
"So... I want to find a way, if it doesn't work, I'll help you catch two of them, first do the basic test, and then slowly test it in actual combat."
"Yes, Lieutenant General!"
Retus nodded.
He also understood how difficult it was to find ten Devil Fruit powerhouses.
Because these people who use to test their abilities end up with death.
So you must not use your own people, otherwise it will not be troublesome.
It's okay for Sean to catch two capable pirates back, and catch ten...
It is indeed not something that can be done in the short term.
It's just that Tress doesn't know that Sean is playing a very bad idea at the moment.
There is a place where a large number of capable people are locked up.
Wouldn't it be a pity if you didn't use it?
The only problem is that while I can let Bruno do the job quietly, the point is...
There are so many people in it, how does Sean know which ones are Devil Fruit powerhouses?
You don't necessarily have to let Bruno go in and ask them one by one?
So, I had to figure out a way to do it.
Pregnant!
Suddenly thinking of something, Sean left the underground research institute directly and returned to his office.
Then pick up the phone bug.
Blu Blu Blu...
"I'm Sengoku!"
"Sengoku old man, I'm Sean!"
"Sean, you bastard, I'm trying to settle accounts with you, and I'm getting into trouble everywhere every day!"
"Old man, am I all right?"
"Hmph, it's your luck this time, if you really want to investigate over there, even I won't be able to save you!"
"Okay old man, I have something else to do with you this time!"
"Bastard, what the hell are you going to do?"
Sengoku stared.
Every time Sean looks for himself, nothing good happens.
Immediately became vigilant.
"I'd like to visit Advance City, that's fine, right?"
"Promotion City... What are you doing there?"
"There are no pirates in the East China Sea now, I'm a little bored, I've always heard of Advance City, but I've never been there, and I'm a little curious and want to visit, can't I?"
"You kid, what the hell are you thinking, I don't believe you're here to visit!"
"Okay, I'm going to find a few pirates, and then ask for some information, aren't all the pirates I caught in the East China Sea sent in? I've recently found out that some of them seem to know Bucky's whereabouts, and I'm going to have to interrogate them."
"Bucky?" ….
Sengoku recalled, but he was not impressed.
"Yes, a pirate in the East China Sea, but he has escaped from the East China Sea now, and I recently learned that this guy is a trainee crew member of the former Roger Pirates, just like Shanks."
"As for his identity, I think Old Man Karp must have the impression that he is a red-nosed pirate."
"I didn't know about this before, so I didn't care about this guy, so I didn't interrogate the pirates who caught them too much, now..."
"Such a big fish, old man, do you think I can let it go?"
"After all, he escaped from the East China Sea, and if I don't capture him myself, won't it be a stain on my naval career?"
Sean's true and false are messed up for a while.
That's right, Bucky fled from the East China Sea and is currently missing, which is true.
And it's also true that Bucky is a trainee crew member of the Roger Pirates.
As for the pirates he once caught in the East China Sea, as long as they were alive, they were all sent to Advance City, which is still true.
Only Sean's true purpose...
It's fake!
If this is true or false, even Sengoku will not doubt it too much.
After all, Sean is a naval supernova
, although he often causes trouble, but what bad intentions can he have?
Sengoku thought about it for a while, and felt that it was quite reasonable, so he agreed.
"I agreed to this matter, and I will say hello to Magellan, but don't make trouble for me inside, if something goes wrong over there, it will be *** annoying."
"Don't worry, old man, I only talk, I don't move, even if I want to torture, I will let the people from the other side of the city come, how about it?"
"Hmph, I hope so!"
Obviously, for Sean's assurance, Sengoku can only believe three points at most.
However, with Magellan here, I believe that Sean will not be able to do anything big.
After hanging up the phone, Sengoku comforted himself.
On the other side, the corners of Sean's mouth were slightly raised.
"It's finished!"
"Enter Advance City, and find an excuse to get all the prisoners' information from Magellan."
"After confirming the precise location of the target ability and the respective holding cell, we will complete this sightseeing trip in disguise!"
"Just give it to Bruno in the end!"
If you are outside, it is indeed impossible to find ten pirates with Devil Fruit abilities in a short period of time.
But in the city of advancement...
It's so easy!
You don't even have to go to the two sides of the ground, I'm afraid that just the top one or two floors will be enough.
Besides, those guys on the sixth basement floor can't be wasted easily.
That's what Sean is going to use to deprive him of the Devil Fruit after he takes control of the Navy in the future, after all, many of them have some very powerful Devil Fruits.
So, this operation has to be special...
Pick some garbage and be able to do it.
