One Piece – Thundergod Marine

Chapter 88: Repair the ship

Views:

The Great Route, the City of Seven Waters.

This is a water city like a fountain, with buildings stacked radially from top to bottom, interspersed with clean and clear water. The sun shines down, and the whole city is thickly shrouded in hazy mist, making it look like a dream and not like the human world.

As a water city, the roads here are very special. Except for the small bluestone floors in front of the stores on both sides, there are only water channels in the center of the road. Local residents will raise a magical creature called "Bulu" as a means of transportation on the water. At the same time, Bulu has a strong carrying capacity and can also be used to carry goods. Moreover, Bulu has a gentle personality and a pleasant appearance. It comes with two people. The small blue seats are a popular attraction.

Starting from the Navy Headquarters, Ron's first stop was the Capital of Seven Waters.

Of course, Ron didn't come here to play, nor did he come here for the Pluto design... The location of their mission was the "Gourmet City" Puke, which can be reached directly by the sea train from the Seven Waters City. As an Earthling, Ron knew how much faster the high-speed rail was than sea transportation, so he directly rejected the idea of taking a boat all the way through the permanent pointer and chose to take the sea train.

At the same time, the reason why this old warship was vacant was that it had so many problems that it happened to be repaired here. For this reason, Ron had already brought out the red coral given to him by Lieutenant General Peach Rabbit. There was really no way he could use it to pay off the debt.

It's not the Navy Headquarters anyway, so no one will know if it's sold, so no one will be offended.

The sun was pleasant and the breeze was gentle. Ron was sitting on the beach chair while chewing the steak carefully prepared by the chef in the cooking class while complaining to Dong Te, who was wielding a sword not far away.

"Can you believe it takes two and a half months to travel by sea?! Pukki is also a famous gourmet capital on the Grand Line. Can't the marshal arrange a branch there?!"

He finally understood why the Straw Hats caused so much trouble but never had a navy figure with enough weight to eliminate them, because the sea was too big and vast!

A mission often takes several months to start. When the various branches receive orders to intercept them, who knows where they went.

The Straw Hats are just like the guerrillas. They can shoot and change places, and there is no way to pursue them.

Throughout the original work, except for Aokiji who judged their route based on the Alabasta incident and blocked them on the desert island in advance, only the "tyrant" bear was left to fly on the meat ball fruit to find the Straw Hats.

It's no wonder that the Five Old Stars agreed to the King's Shichibukai system. The Shichibukai were bastards, but they made up for the positions that the navy couldn't take into account.

This is a difficult problem caused by the combination of technological level, productivity and world environment, and there is almost no solution!

Maybe there is a solution, such as the specialty of the Seven Waters City, sea train... Ron narrowed his eyes, picked up the ice cream and took a sip.

"3778… 3779… "

Dongte didn't know what Ron was thinking. He silently counted the number of times he swung his sword, and then rolled his eyes at Ron: "Major General Ron, you also know that the city of gourmet food is very prosperous, don't you know the tricks in it? "

Dongte is very envious of Ron. As the developer of the lightning stimulation method, he can really become stronger while lying down. But I have been practicing hard all the time, but I can't even keep up with the progress.

Comparing people to each other is really infuriating!

What's even more disgusting is that Ron always comes to watch during his training time, claiming to be improving his swordsmanship. After all, he just got a sword. Ron even pointed to the sky with one hand and swore that the thunder was coming from the sky, and he was definitely not here to bully him!

Conscience of heaven and earth! ! !

Thunderman, do you swear there will be thunder? ?

Are you kidding me? !

"Tsk, pirate business!"

Ron smacked his lips and turned over.

Any land in the Grand Line that can be called "prosperous" has no black and white, it is all gray areas.

After all, pirates are also human beings, and they also need to eat, drink, and eat. If they have needs, they will have benefits. If they have benefits, some will take risks. The era of great pirates was so grand and prosperous, with countless pirates going to sea. As long as you scrape a little bit of oil from one-tenth of the passing pirates, it will be a considerable amount of wealth!

Therefore, doing pirate business is not only an exception, but on the contrary, it is a common phenomenon.

As a result, there are only three or two navies of big and small cats stationed in such a large gourmet city, and the main existence value of these navies is to detain criminals and serve as the headquarters' informants. Deterring pirates almost entirely depends on the basic defense force. In addition, the sea there is complex, extreme weather is common, and ordinary islands are often engulfed by tsunamis. The navy has no idea of establishing a branch in nearby waters.

Then... it will be a disaster!

This time, a certain pirate alliance took a fancy to the interests of the city of gourmet food and launched a massive attack. The country was about to be destroyed. Without foreign aid, they could only struggle to support themselves while asking for help from the navy headquarters thousands of miles away.

As the saying goes, a chef who doesn't want to be a rich man is not a qualified pirate. The United Pirate Army looks to One Piece and wants to use the wealth of the food city to build an army, provide soldiers, and then conquer the new world.

It must be said that these are also a group of rebellious talents who know the truth that fighting a war means fighting for money.

But they don't know at all that no matter how many ordinary people there are, they can't do anything to the four monsters that stand at the top of the new world. In front of the truly powerful, ordinary people are not even qualified to be cannon fodder!

The Warring States Period did not dispatch soldiers from the nearest branch, but instead asked Ron, who was idle at the headquarters, to take action. The implicit meaning was to delay it as long as possible, as long as the pirates did not allow the country to be destroyed... A member country that disobeys discipline will be beaten to death by our navy. Eliminate the pirates. You are doing the pirate business in secret and getting bigger and bigger. You deserve to die. The Warring States Period has been displeasing to them for several years.

From this, it is not difficult to see that none of the navy's top brass are easy to deal with, they are all cunning and cunning bastards!

Ron can guarantee that after he has dealt with the pirate alliance on the front foot, his own troops will immediately be stationed in Pukki and completely control Pukki's border defense lifeline. Then, while arguing with the other party in the name of protecting the franchised country, he slowly eroded Puke's open pirate business. There was no need to worry anyway.

Wanting to understand this, Ron simply turned around and stopped at the Capital of the Seven Rivers, repairing the ship along the way, and then took the sea train to regain the lost time.

At this moment, the messenger ran over, saluted and said.

"Major General Ron, we can already see the Capital of Seven Waters, the navigation team is asking for instructions!"

"Okay, okay. Notify everyone to prepare to dock. Everyone will disembark in batches. Drinking, making noise and disturbing the civilians are prohibited. Anyone who violates the order will be hanged and beaten!"

"Huh? You can't drink?"

The soldier who ordered the order had a sad expression on his face.

The Major General Ron in front of him, like most of the Kapp faction, usually doesn't have much airs. He can eat a big pot of rice in the cafeteria with ordinary soldiers and is a friendly person. After so many days, everyone on the boat expressed their belief.

But there was only one thing that made all the soldiers feel very depressed!

The navy is an army, and every soldier in the army can drink, including the generals themselves. Therefore, on weekdays, the requirements for soldiers who are not on duty are not strict in this regard. As long as they do not cause any trouble, no one will care if they drink two drinks less.

But Ron is different. He doesn't drink, and he believes that drinking will definitely cause trouble!

For example, the night he was awarded the title...

So this warship has an additional rule. Everyone can only drink an appropriate amount of alcohol one day a week. All members are divided into batches and rationed at regular times. You drink today and they drink tomorrow. Everyone takes turns and drinks the rest of the time. Or, catch one and "hang" one.

It’s really hanging!

Once, seven or eight soldiers secretly drank a bottle of wine. After the cook ran to complain, a group of people were tied to the mast and hung for a whole day. When they were put down, they were almost as dehydrated as dried salted fish.

Under severe punishment, this order was thoroughly implemented. Although a soldier with good physique would not be dehydrated if he was hung for a day, he was tied to the mast to dry and let people watch. He couldn't afford to shame that person!

Hearing the messenger's complaint, Ron smiled coldly and tapped his fingers on Lei Yun's sword hilt: "Oh? Do you have any objections?"

Gulu…

"No! Prohibited orders are guaranteed!"

The messenger was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat and ran to deliver the news without saying a word.

By the way, one time when Ron was experimenting with thunder clouds, he accidentally released thunder that enveloped the entire war beast. The guys on the ship, whether they were there or not, all spent the whole day as charcoal-grilled salted fish. Since then, many people have suffered cardiac arrest and broken out in cold sweats when they saw Ron. The pain of having his lower body repeatedly electrified was simply more terrifying than being struck by a sword!

After solving the soldier's appetite problem, Ron turned back and asked: "Donte, are you guarding the ship or going out to play?"

Dongte: "...Major General Ron, we are not here to have fun, we are on a mission!"

"Hey, hey! The train to the city of gourmet food returns once every ten days. The last train left only seven days ago. What can you do in these three days?"

Dongte: "..."
