In the end, the combatant's trial piece, which was standing as he walked into the training ground, was carried out of the training ground sideways by Akin and Lant.
Da Vinci roared at Esdeath: "I told you, don't destroy the robot!"
"Oops~" Esdeath stretched out: "It's time for me to train the army behind the bell."
"Don't run!"
Chi Tong handed Da Vinci a lollipop: "This is Esdeath's character, don't be angry."
"You want to calm me down with just one candy?" Da Vinci fiercely opened the package and bit the lollipop into his mouth: "You need at least two!"
"No." Chitong shook his head slightly: "I can only give you one lollipop, and I still want to eat it."
Perona complained with all her strength: "In this situation, shouldn't I complain that your temper is so cheap?!"
"It's not easy to eat candy from Chitong's mouth." Eric rubbed Perona's head angrily.
"My hair is completely messed up!"
"How is it?" Eric ignored the complaining Perona and asked Da Vinci: "How is the experimental data of the combatants?"
"There are some discrepancies with the theoretical values." Da Vinci checked the experimental data fed back: "There is still room for improvement, and there is excess loss in energy output; because of the three-meter body, the robot's actions are somewhat uncoordinated."
"Teacher Chiron, do you think the combatant's strength can match the number of wanted criminals with bounty money?" Eric turned to ask Chiron.
"One hundred million to one hundred and eighty million beli." Chiron thought carefully and came to the conclusion: "It depends on the ability of the wanted criminal. Fighters are more restrained than swordsmen and can gain an advantage when facing swordsmen. .”
"It's pretty much what I expected." Eric nodded and said, "Da Vinci, how much does it cost to make a fighter?"
"About 20 million." Da Vinci shrugged his shoulders, his voice a little slurred because of the candy in his mouth: "This is just the cost price of the materials, not counting my labor costs. If I count the Super alloy, the manufacturing cost..."
"Thank you Leonardo da Vinci for your selfless dedication." Eric interrupted: "When can we start mass production?"
"This fighter is just a trial work, far from perfect." Da Vinci took out the candy with a pop: "It will take at least two months to improve, test, and perfect, plus the factory production line. With the design and construction, it will take half a year before the combatants can be mass-produced.”
"I see.
"
"In addition -" Da Vinci shook the lollipop stained with saliva: "Eric-kun, please buy a large number of slash shells and impact shells from Sky Island. I need to equip these special Sky Island shells on the robot. "
Eric squatted down and carefully observed the combatant's left arm: "Did you embed the slash shell in your arm?"
"No~" Da Vinci raised his chin and placed his left hand on his hips. The lollipop in his right hand could not hide his complacent aura.
"I used the ability of the Swallowing Fruit to combine several Slash Shells with the Super Fusion, and at the same time increase the power limit and area of the absorbed Slash."
"Da Vinci kisses really well." Eric was forced by Da Vinci's intimidating look and clapped his hands.
After talking about the follow-up improvement plan of the combatant, Leonardo Da Vinci called Akin and Lanter to take the combatant who had lost the ability to move back to the laboratory.
Eric, who watched everyone leave, stayed there and thought: The rule of the Kingdom of Hua is gradually becoming more and more stable, more merchant ships are passing through here, and the total amount of tolls collected is gradually increasing. It is time to expand its territory!
The third annual task: the task of occupying three large islands can only be completed by yourself and your companions.
The sea map retrieved from Onigashima showed that the islands around Wano were once Kaido's territory. However, after Kaido's death and the destruction of the Beast Pirates, the Dawn Pirates simply could not spare the manpower to control them, resulting in The islands are occupied by other pirates.
Eric gritted his teeth: "It's time for these guys to spit out everything they've eaten!"
"Want to go to sea?" Egil said with a smile: "I can't wait~"
…
The next day, a five-person team consisting of Scathach, Yamato, Deidara, Erza and Egil set out to prepare for a large nearby island.
Erza was a little unsure: "With only five of us, can we take back the island occupied by other pirate groups?"
Scathach replied calmly: "A few of us are enough."
"The Rhodes Pirates, there are three main bounty prisoners." Scathach picked up the bounty order: "Although they are all insignificant guys, we still need to assign tasks first."
Yamato raised his right hand and said first, "Leave their captain to me to deal with them!"
"Okay." Scathach agreed readily.
"So simple?"
"I just can't muster the energy to face these guys."
"Eh?" Yamato was stunned.
Scathach continued: "Captain Rhodes, with a bounty of 230 million beli, is good at swordsmanship."
"First mate Haig, has a bounty of 100 million beli, and is good at using a hammer."
"Leave him to me too!" Yamato recommended himself again.
"Navigator Martin, with a bounty of 90 million Baileys, has a good marksmanship."
"It's mine too!"
"Excluding these three bounty prisoners, the Rhodes Pirates have about a thousand pirates and three pirate ships. They are a large pirate group."
"Leave it all to me!"
"Okay." Everyone unanimously decided to let Yamato deal with the entire Delos Pirates alone.
…
Although Eric's bounty is already as high as 3.5 billion, the bounty for the first-tier combatants of the Dawn Pirates is also around 1 billion. The criminal with a bounty of 200 to 300 million beli seems to be a minor player, but the bounty of 200 to 300 million is He is already considered a strong man in the new world, especially in the first half of the paradise. Pirates with a bounty of over 100 million are extremely rare. After arriving at the Chambord Islands, they will be called a supernova by the world.
Even the Maelstrom Spider Scuyard who stabbed Whitebeard in the War on the Top had a bounty of only 210 million Baileys.
If he doesn't run into the Vice Admirals and Admirals of the Navy Headquarters, or the Yonko Pirates, the guy with a bounty of two to three hundred million can basically walk sideways on the sea.
Of course, pirates with a dream of one piece always have an enterprising heart and try to get their hands on the supreme secret treasure. They are not willing to have their way forward blocked by several mountains. If they just accept their fate so easily, they will not sail out to sea. , came all the way to the new world.
These powerful pirate groups worked hard to deal with the big pirate group. In the cracks of the new world, they tried their best to obtain the nutrients they needed to survive and grow, develop their own power, and train their subordinates.
Captain Rhodes is such a pirate. He saw the news of the destruction of the Beast Pirates and took the opportunity to invade territory that he had never dared to think about before. He occupied the Kent Island like a wild dog guarding its food, using the advantages of numbers and ships. , repelling several other pirate groups who were trying to grab food in the previous naval battles.
valley
Rhodes originally wanted to snatch a batch of weapons and run away, but after dozens of days of patrolling and vigilance, it became clear that the Dawn Pirates were not aware of the existence of Kent County Island, so they boldly occupied it and began to oppress the people here. Work for them.
On the sea dozens of miles away from Kent Island, there is a pirate ship wandering nearby.
"It's true that Captain Rhodes, it's been more than four months, and he still asks us to do this thankless patrol work." A pirate complained softly.
"Stop talking nonsense, it's not like the captain didn't pay you wages." The other guy was loyal to Rhodes. After all, every pirate group has one or two die-hard loyalists who are heartless.
"That's right, if I give you money, you can patrol. That's a lot of nonsense." The guy who belongs to this small group echoed.
When I saw that I was at a numerical disadvantage, I immediately defended myself: "I just think this work is completely unnecessary. It's better to stay in the town and watch over the work of those stupid people."
"We have occupied the territory of the original Beasts Pirates." Someone with some brains said: "You will understand how dangerous this matter is if you think about it for a moment, right? What if the Dawn Pirates take the opportunity to attack us."
"The Beasts Pirates have long become history." I said with a look of disdain: "Maybe the Dawn Pirates don't even know that there is an island here."
The boss said: "This is the nearest large island to the Kingdom of Flowers, so be careful and you won't make a big mistake."
The three of them were standing on the watchtower of the mast, looking around at the sea level with telescopes.
"After we get ashore, do you want to go to my house to try the new good cigarettes you got?" My a suddenly suggested: "It's good stuff picked from the corpses of the last wave of pirates. The taste is amazing."
"So generous?" I was stunned for a moment, and immediately said excitedly: "This is a damn good feeling. I haven't tasted good cigarettes in a long time."
B secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "I want it."
He said: "Remember to take a shower and change your clothes before coming back. You guys now smell like rancid sea water."
"Who the hell isn't?" said the guy. "A shift lasts seven days, and there's no way to take a shower on the ship. I'm itchy all over now."
The three people were talking when a sharp howl suddenly penetrated their ears, followed by a violent explosion. Flames swept through the entire pirate ship along with the storm, and the shock wave threw the three people high into the sky.
…
Although it was a nearby island, Egil sailed for a long time before approaching his first destination.
"At two o'clock, there is a pirate ship sixteen nautical miles away." Egil reported: "It is the target this time, one of the ships of the Rhodes Pirates."
"I'm going to defeat them!" Yamato picked up the mace.
"If Egil appears in their sight, these pirates will report to the base camp in advance."
"Eh?"
"Egil, fire and sink that pirate ship!"
Egil smiled sweetly and said: "Understood~"
There was a roar of artillery fire, thick smoke filled the air, several high-explosive bombs roared towards the pirate ship, and then...
The sea surface and the air were filled with sawdust and spray flying all over the sky.
A pirate ship was sailing happily one second, and then disappeared in an instant, as if it had evaporated.
Yamato looked at the original location of the pirate ship with tears in his eyes. Many broken pieces of wood were floating there.
"Stop crying." Erza comforted Yamato softly: "I'll leave the remaining pirates to you to deal with."
"Really?" Yamato wiped his tears: "You're not lying to me?"
"Yeah." Erza nodded, finally making Yamato burst into laughter.
…
The group soon arrived at Kent County Island. The flag of the Beasts Pirates erected at the port was replaced by the flag of the Rhodes Pirates. The port was full of scorched marks left by the battle. Obviously, the pirates occupying this place did not Carefully repaired.
This winter island was originally guarded by Scourge, but was later injured by the provocative Kisame Kisaki. After recovering from his injuries, he returned to guard the island, and was finally killed by the invading Rhodes Pirates.
In the original work, this island is Kaido's weapons manufacturing factory, and Kaido forces the people on the island to work for him. In the next few years, a revolution will break out here, and the supernova "Wet Method" Caribu will live here. Because of his identical appearance, the revolutionary army mistakenly thinks that he is Captain Gaffor.
Although Karibu was despicable and shameless, at the last moment, he finally found his conscience and protected the old lady, swallowed up the slave house where the people were imprisoned, and liberated the enslaved people. The result**?Drake was defeated and caught working in the Rabbit Bowl quarry.
At this moment, several ships were docked at the port, two of which were ships of the Rhodes Pirates, and the rest were other pirate groups who came to buy weapons.
Even though Tezzolo now controls the underground arms trade, the world is so big that it is impossible to monopolize the arms trade. There are always people who can find other ways to sell or buy weapons.
"That, that's the Dawn Pirates?!" Someone with sharp eyes accidentally spotted the steel battleship arriving at the port and the Thunder Dragon pirate flag flying on it.
"Run!" The pirates who stayed on the ship quickly maneuvered the Range Rover, preparing to control the sails to escape from here. Unfortunately, it takes time and manpower to move this kind of multi-masted sailboat. There are not many people on the ship now, and it is completely impossible to control the ship to leave the port.
"Wu Attendant Bingya!"
Yamato turned into a human-animal form. White freezing air condensed in Yamato's mouth, and then turned into frost breath and fell on the sea. The seawater was instantly frozen into hard ice, freezing these pirate ships in place.
"...!"
The pirates in the port were frightened by the sudden disaster, but found that the Dawn Pirates did not attack them immediately.
Scathach, Erza and Deidara jumped onto the ice one by one and walked slowly towards the port.
The huge steel battleship turned into crystal square particles and disappeared, uu reading gathered around Aegir, and turned into two terrifying dragon heads and sharp claws.
Scathach came to the pirates, stretched out his hand to unfold three wanted posters, and asked one by one: "Where are these three guys?"
"..." No answer was better than an answer. All the eyes of everyone present were directed at one of the guys with a gloomy face, Haig, the first mate of the Rhodes Pirates.
"There is only one first mate here?" Scathach asked: "Where are the other members of the Rhodes Pirates?"
"If you want to know, ask me about the hammer in my hand!" Haig let out a loud war cry, brandishing his hammer and charging towards Scathach.
"Your opponent is me!" Yamato raised his mace and faced him: "Watch the move - Thunder Bagua!"
"Yamato, don't kill him!" Scathach said: "We still have to get information from him..."
"Eh?"
Purple thunder flashed past, and a man named Haig lay dead on the spot.
