"Da Vinci, have you ever thought about using the ability to swallow fruits to make toys?"
"Huh? I've been busy with the manufacturing and research and development of alloys and the design of battleships. I don't have the time to do such idle things." Sure enough, although he is a genius, he doesn't understand the business world. In this world, there are only old people, women and children. Money is best earned.
The end of the month has not yet come, and the bounty for monthly task five has not been settled. Eric still doesn't know how much shortfall there is in funds. Wapol can earn a large amount of funds in two years by manufacturing toys and selling them, and even spends money. Bribing the Celestial Dragons, gaining recognition from the world's nobles, and becoming the king of the evil Dark Drum Kingdom, this shows that the profits of this business are very considerable. The key and most important ability to swallow fruits is in our hands. We can do this business!
"Da Vinci, look, we need too much money now. We have no choice but to work you hard."
"I'm not used to the captain suddenly speaking so politely. There must be a hole ahead for me to jump out of."
"How can you look at me like this? I obviously just want to use the ability of Tuntun Fruit to make some toys for sale!"
"In order to obtain construction funds, that's no problem. Captain, just wait here for a while."
In just a short while, dozens of beautifully designed toys were placed on the table. It would be inappropriate to call them toys. To be precise, they were more like works of art.
"Ara, what a beautiful piece of art. It deserves to be one of the three great masters of the Renaissance, Leonardo da Vinci."
"Although I don't know much about art, these things do look very pleasing to the eye. Can you put a few in my room?"
"I hate it~ I'm clearly past the age of playing with toys, how could I..."
Everyone marveled at the 'artwork' created by Leonardo da Vinci.
"...Well, how much money can those children have? Let's sell these works of art to those mentally retarded nobles!" Eric seemed to have opened up a new way to make a fortune.
"I don't want to be a tool for making money. Sister, I prefer invention and scientific research."
"But don't various inventions and scientific research and development require a huge amount of research and development funds? How do you plan to obtain funds, Da Vinci?"
"I used to ask the nobles to sponsor me, but now my sister relies on you, Captain Brother-kun~"
"..."
[Complete monthly task five: Pirate Scavenger, destroy seven pirate groups including "Baruch" and "Thorne" (the remaining ones will appear too watery if not written carefully), task reward: is being settled (7500 Ten thousand + 69 million + 135 million + 81 million + 73 million + 38 million + 45 million) × 3/7 achievement points/7 bond points]
[Total: 1.548 billion beli]
The sound of system settlement in the early morning woke Eric up. At first he thought his eyes were dazzled, but after counting the digits of the money several times, he realized that his money holdings had reached 1.5 billion beli. Thank you very much to the system. Giving timely help, Eric and others no longer have to work as door-to-door salesmen to earn funds for building warships.
"This is what Eric said, the first place to build ships in the world?" Esdeath stepped into the Seven Waters City and turned around to look around. There were dilapidated houses, dilapidated streets, pedestrians without any life, and many people sitting on The idle and dejected man on the ground made Esdeath frown.
In the current capital of the Seven Waters, although the construction of the sea train "Smoking Tom" has been completed, the track has not yet been laid. The City of Seven Waters will receive a "water god" (big tsunami) every year. After each tsunami, the water level will increase a lot. Due to the magnetic field turbulence of the Grand Line, trade between the islands will not go smoothly. Major shipbuilding companies are constantly fighting for customers, and the mood of the island's residents has fallen into the shadow of slow death.
"Well, the current capital of the Seven Rivers is still in ruins due to the annual tsunami and poor trade. It will be much better when the track of the sea train is laid. Let's rent a few 'Bulu' 'Shopping?' Eric suggested, shopping is a woman's nature.
"Bru?" Da Vinci, who was curious about anything new, came closer with his big eyes twinkling.
"A small sea beast that looks like a horse and is raised by local residents as a means of transportation on the water. This city has more waterways than land. Like Venice, the waterways within the city are quite complicated. In addition to the flat transportation waterways, there are also The flow of water from top to bottom runs through the entire city, and it would be difficult to travel without it."
Esdeath asked in confusion: "Can't you [teleport]? You don't need transportation at all, right?"
Eric: "..."
"Ara, Esdessan can just slowly jump over every river by himself. Eric and I can sit on a 'Bru'."
"Oh, I will freeze you into the shape of a boat, and then ride on it with Eric for a whole day date."
"Eric is not like you. You won't feel cold when sitting on ice, you cold-blooded woman."
"It seems that the previous battle did not let you understand who is the boss." Esdeath slowly drew out his Western sword.
"STOP! Hey, this is your pocket money. Water City has its specialties of water and meat, which are said to be delicious. The islands behind the Seven Waters City are the Chambord Islands, which are the relay stations of the Grand Route. They can be considered strong. Pirates will gather there. The Seven Waters Capital of the Shampoo Islands is a place where the shipbuilding industry is developed. There may be many more powerful pirates here. In any case, please don't start a fight here."
When "Gudu" heard that there was delicious food, Chitong's swallowing sound was really obvious: "Polqi, I will take you to eat delicious food." This completely treated Bolqi as a younger sister.
Esdeath showed a bloodthirsty smile: "Those pirates on Gulang Island are really boring. I don't know if the pirates here can satisfy me."
Eric couldn't help but remind: "Please don't damage surrounding houses and hurt ordinary people."
Kurumi Tokisaki also smiled: "Then please allow me to buy the ingredients. Today I will let Eric Sang's stomach be conquered by my cooking."
"Ah, I'm looking forward to Kurumi's cooking. It must be very delicious."
Kulikai, who was silently blowing out smoke rings, had already been fed the dog food, and said, "I will stay here to guard this ship. You can go and have fun."
"Excuse me, uncle, Leonardo da Vinci and I went to find Tom, the world's number one shipbuilder. I don't know if he will accept the order to build a ship now."
"Without my explanation, the captain might not be able to discuss construction matters with the shipbuilder, right?"
Although it is the truth, but...can't admit it!
"Don't be ridiculous, I was known as the Little Prince of Chemistry in high school! I can still understand a mere battleship design."
Da Vinci looked puzzled and said: "But the design of the battleship has nothing to do with chemical knowledge?"
"..."
When Eric and Leonardo da Vinci found Tom, the three of them and a frog were working in full swing on a construction site full of scraps.
"Huh? Do you have guests?" Tom, who was round and chubby, was the first to notice the two of them.
"Hello, I, Eric, would like to entrust Master Tom, the world's number one shipbuilder, to build an unparalleled ship."
