Chapter 166: The Capital of Seven Waters, the Trace of Ancient Weapons! (2-in-1)
The Capital of the Seven Waters, also known as the Shipbuilding Island, is a very famous island on the Great Shipping Route.
If there is any place in the world that has the strongest shipbuilding technology except for the navy, then there is only one answer to this question, and that is the capital of seven waters.
Roger, the One Piece who conquered the seas, and his vehicle, the Oro Jackson, was designed and built by the shipwrights of the City of Seven Waters.
I heard that the keel of Roger's Aurojackson was made from the branches of the world's most precious material, the Adam Treasure Tree.
His sailboats were repeatedly able to escape from the Navy's warships, and the USS Ol. Jackson was indispensable.
And Karp and his party, who left the Navy Headquarters, the goal of this trip is this shipbuilding island, which is located in the center of the great shipping route!
"Tom is a fish-man, a horn-fishman."
"Roger's ship, he helped design and build it."
"With Roger becoming the King of the Pirates, Tom's reputation has also risen, and he is known as the world's number one shipbuilder."
"Although there is no competition in shipbuilding skills on this sea, his name is definitely not in vain."
"Yuanyi, if you want to gallop in the New World, having him help design ships is definitely a tiger with wings!"
On the blue sea, the speed of the kobold warship gradually slowed down, and in front of the warship, a huge island appeared.
This island is very strange, in the middle of the island, there is a drop of water that soars into the sky, and the water is constantly spraying towards the sky. As the sea fell, it was diverted into seven torrents by a large canal dam built on the island, which flowed back into the sea from different directions.
In the middle of the torrent and the middle of the torrent are countless houses, and from a distance, the whole island looks like a crown with seven blue tassels.
"The City of Seven Waters."
"Is this name because the cupola current was diverted into seven rivers by the dam?"
"It's such a delicate design, and it's obviously not in the New World, the sea currents around this capital of seven waters, it's really weird!"
On the deck of the dog-headed warship, Ji Guoyuan was wearing a loose red practice uniform, a white naval justice coat, and three long knives pinned to his waist, looking at the island in the distance, and said with a smile.
When the sea breeze blows, the big hair flutters slightly with the wind, and the long red hair of Yuan Yi also flies with the wind.
"Well, there's a relationship."
"And the shipwrights have also made good use of the seven torrents, do you see the location of the embankment at the outlet, is it marked with a serial number?"
"That's the shipyard's serial number."
"On this island, there are seven large shipyards, and the boats that have been built will be pushed directly into the river, down the river, and into the sea."
"The strange currents around the capital of the seven rivers are actually brought up by the seven rivers when they flow back into the sea."
"As long as the boat has enough power, it is completely possible to ignore this current."
Karp said, beckoning to the lookout behind him, and the naval officers and sailors on the lookout saw Karp's signal, and they also quickly gave orders to the wheelhouse, and the kobold warship, which had just slowed down, began to speed up towards the island at this moment.
Ji Guoyuan felt that at this time, the power of this warship should have been driven to the maximum, and as the dog-headed warship got closer and closer to the island, the speed of the dog-headed warship became faster and faster.
After breaking through the currents around the Seven Waters Capital, the warship began to slow down, and then came to a steady stop in the harbor of Dock No. 3.
"Vice Admiral Karp, the most advanced power of our navy today should be a steamship, right?"
"And this technology is only mastered by Dr. Vegapunk and his team."
"But the world's number one shipwright in your mouth should only be able to build sailboats, right?"
"Is it possible that I would only ask him to build the shell of a warship, and let the Vegapunk team install the most modern power system for me?"
"I think. The headquarters won't even refuse to do this, right? ”
The warship docked on the shore, and Ji Guoyuanichi and Yixiao and others, led by Karp, stepped off the warship and walked towards the island.
Unlike the New World, the residents of the Seven Waters City are no strangers to the navy, and when they saw Yuanyi's navy, they were just curious to take a few more glances before they were busy with their own business. I didn't look too surprised.
On the way, Yuan Yi also said his thoughts, to be honest, if there is advanced technology, he really wants to use advanced technology.
This kind of mentality, just like boys buying a car, if they have money, they must pursue the most advanced and highest-equipped cars!
"What you said, what you can't do, the structure is different."
"Of course, don't underestimate Tom, the world's number one boatwright, not just talking."
"His skills are not just about building sailboats!"
"Don't worry, you'll be happy with his design."
Karp patted Enichi on the shoulder and said with a smile.
Then, as if suddenly thinking of something, he stopped a passer-by and asked him where Tom the Boatsmith was.
After doing it for a long time, Karp didn't know where the other party was now!
Tom had already made a name for himself in the City of Seven Waters, and as soon as they asked, they knew Tom's residence.
By the time Karp and Jikokuenichi and the others found Tom, he was working with other craftsmen at Dock 1 on the island to build something.
Ji Guoyuan just looks at that look, it seems to be a locomotive?
In the dockyard. Building a locomotive?
"Hey! Tom, there's a navy looking for you! ”
The one who led Karp and Yuanyi and the others to find Tom was a middle-aged uncle who seemed to be the person in charge of the dockyard here, and he was familiar with Tom. After entering the dock with Yuanichi, they shouted to a fat strong man on the scaffolding.
"Huh? Navy looking for me? ”
"I don't have any contact with the Navy!"
Tom, who was working, stopped what he was doing when he heard his partner's shouts, and turned around to see Karp and his party. The moment he saw Karp, Tom couldn't help but shrink his pupils slightly, and his expression became a little solemn.
Hero of the Navy, Vice Admiral Karp!
The moment he saw Karp, Tom recognized the man in front of him, and his heart sank. He didn't think it would be a good thing for a vice admiral to come to him with great fanfare!
"The Navy is finally going to pursue that."
"It came later than I expected."
Tom stopped his work, climbed down from the scaffolding, and slowly walked in front of Karp and Ji Guoyuanyi and the others, and actually raised his hands towards Karp, looking like he was tied up.
"Tom, I've admired my name for a long time."
"Uh, what are you doing here?"
Karp smiled and said hello to Tom when he saw the other party coming, but when the other party came to him, he actually raised his hand. Seeing this, Karp scratched his hair in confusion and looked at Tom with a puzzled expression.
"Aren't you here to get me?!"
"No more acting, Navy!"
"I know what I've done, and it's a privilege to be able to contribute to a man like that!"
"It's okay with other people, don't disturb them, I'll go with you!"
Tom raised his head slightly, and said with a proud expression. And his words also made Cyrus and Yixiao wonder.
When Karp heard this, he was obviously stunned, and then he couldn't help laughing, waving his hand and explaining:
"No, no!"
"We're not looking for you for that trivial matter."
"Tom, we in the Navy would like to ask you to help us build a warship."
"Budget words. In 300 million Baileys. ”
"Specific requirements, let this kid talk to you!"
After Karp explained briefly, he patted the back of Jiguo Yuanyi beside him, and Yuanyi, under Karp's signal, also took a step forward, walked in front of Tom, stretched out his hand to hold Tom's right hand, and said with a smile:
"Hello, Mr. Tom."
"I am a vice admiral of the Navy Headquarters, and I am the first of the country."
"I'm the one who asked you to build the ship."
"I'm about to enter a new world, and I need a ship that can help me navigate the seas, and I hope I can get your help!"
Hearing Ji Guoyuanyi's words, Tom's face, who was originally ready to "be generous and righteous", suddenly became embarrassed.
"Shipbuilding. Say it earlier!! ”
"That's fine! It is our duty as citizens to help the Navy! Scold.. Hehe. ”
Tom laughed awkwardly, and then seemed to suddenly think of something, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes, and looked at Ji Guoyuanyi.
"Such a young Vice Admiral of the Admiralty? When did such a figure appear in the Navy? ”
"The name Ji Guoyuanyi is so familiar"
“!!!”
"The navy that killed the Golden Lion Shiki?! So young! ”
Tom was looking at Yuanyi, his thoughts were scattered, and suddenly, Tom remembered the relevant information about the young navy in front of him, and the wariness in his eyes was even stronger.
"Such a young vice admiral wants a battleship to come to me?!"
"The shipwrights of the Navy Headquarters are very skilled, and the purpose of these navies may not be so simple!"
Tom looked at Jikokuichi and Karp, and his heart was full of vigilance.
Tom himself knows very well that there is not only one shipbuilding skill in his body, but also an important thing in his hands, so important that anyone who knows it will be blushing!
That's the blueprint of the ancient weapon, the Hades!
The two vice admirals who inexplicably appeared in the capital of the seven waters, one is the hero Karp, and the other is the naval supernova who killed the golden lion Shiki.
Tom couldn't help but wonder about the purpose of the navy, the other party, is it really as simple as asking yourself to build a ship?
Thinking of this, Tom began to probe it:
"Vice Admiral Jiguo, I don't know, what kind of requirements do you have for the warship you want?"
Ji Guoyuan heard that the other party seemed to have agreed to help build the warship, and a smile appeared on his face, touched his chin, and looked forward:
"My request is actually very simple!"
"The motivation must be strong! Preferably, it can get rid of the limitations of a sailboat, and the endurance should be strong, after all, in the New World, the distance between islands is quite large. ”
"If I could, I would like warships to be equipped with the most advanced and powerful weapons, and laser cannons would be very good, preferably capable of destroying an island with one shot."
"Oh, by the way, I plan to use the warship as a mobile fortress at sea, in the future, the days at sea must account for the majority, I'm afraid that the seamen will spend much more time resting on the warship than on land."
"The facilities should be complete, the area should be large enough, the armor should be hard enough, and it is best to be equipped with a mobile dock and carry a sufficient number of speedboats, so that the tactical tactics can be enriched when chasing the pirates."
“.”
Ji Guoyuan tilted his head slightly, and said the function he wanted with a thoughtful look, not realizing that Tom's face in front of him was getting darker and darker.
Tom's face is black, not because these requests made by Jiguo Yuanyi are too whimsical, the reason why his face is black is because in Tom's mind, there is only one thing that can meet Jiguoyuanyi's requirements.
That's the ancient weapon - Hades!
Legend has it that it only takes one blow to destroy the island's huge battleship!!
The more he spoke, the darker Tom's face became, and he was sure. The purpose of this group of navy coming to him was not simply to ask him to build warships!
"Sure enough. These guys are here for the Hades blueprints! Tom said secretly in his heart, but a smile appeared on his face, interrupting Yuanyi's "fantasy" and saying, "I'm sorry! Jiguo Lieutenant General, I can't do what you said. ”
"You've been disappointed."
After Tom's refusal, a heart was already hanging. He knew that these navies in front of him, hearing that he refused, he was afraid that he would want to see the dagger!
"Hey, hey, Yuanyi, let you make a request, not let you make a wish!"
"Say something realistic!"
"What you said, even if he can really do it, the cost of 300 million Bailey is not enough!"
"Right, Tom?"
Karp shook his head helplessly when he saw Yuanyi's appearance, and said in a round.
"Yes, yes!"
"Huh? No, no, I can't do it, I can't do it. ”
Tom subconsciously nodded in response to Karp's words, but the next second, he felt that Karp had something to say, and quickly denied it.
What does it mean to be "even if he can actually do it?" ", can't do it. I can't do it!
“?” Tom's strange response made Karp feel strange, but he didn't think much of it, patted Yuanichi on the back, and urged: "Say something realistic!" ”
"Uh" Listening to Karp's words, Yuanyi also closed his mouth, and after a little thought, he smiled at Tom and said:
"Forget it, professional things should be left to professional people."
"That's what I think anyway, and it's up to Mr. Tom to get there."
"Mr. Tom, how long will it take for you to help design and build such a warship?"
Yuan Yi also asked Tom's opinion with acquaintance, after all, people are professional, and no matter how many tricks they have in their heads, it is meaningless that the other party can't make them.
"emmmmm" Tom saw that Jikuni and Karp didn't seem to be going to tear their faces, and he also groaned, thinking about how to respond to this question.
"Three months, from design to construction!"
"Give me three months and I'll be able to do it!"
After thinking about it, Tom still gave a safer time. Hearing this, Karp frowned slightly, and Yuanyi also looked at Tom with some surprise.
"It's too slow! Can it be faster? Karp said in a deep voice, and these words also made Yuan Yi can't help but look sideways.
"Three months is still slow?" Ji Guoyuan asked consciously, but as soon as he said this, he realized his mistake.
How can the shipbuilding speed of the One Piece world compare with the current world?
"Well, it's a bit of a long time, but because it's a ship to sail in the New World, it needs to be meticulous from design to manufacturing."
"Moreover, there are some materials that also need to be purchased, after all. There is still a difference between a warship and an ordinary warship. ”
Tom smiled, and saw that Jiguo Yuanyi and Karp didn't mean to tear their faces, so they simply cooperated with Yuanyi and Karp's "performance".
"Yuanyi, what do you think?"
Karp didn't make up his mind, but looked at Yuanyi on his side, and at the same time, Cyrus and Yixiao also looked at Jiguo Yuanyi, waiting for Yuanyi to get an idea.
"Three months is three months."
"I'll just wait on this island, and when the ship is built, I'll sail straight into the new world."
"Vice Admiral Karp, I have to ask you to help me transfer a batch of navies over, and then enter the new world with me."
"As for the navy I brought from the G-ICE branch, I have to trouble you to send them to Kuzanna, I am afraid he will be very distressed if he does not have a ship."
"In three months, I won't go to the new world first, and it's too wasteful to run back and forth."
"During this time, I and a few of them will live on the island."
Yuan Yi said his decision, Karp also nodded slightly when he heard this, and when the two were talking, Tom's heart was pounding for a while, and at the same time he whispered in his heart:
"The Navy is going to stay on the island!?"
"One stay for three months?!"
"Sure enough, it's for the drawings of Hades!!"
