Lord of the Light

Chapter 40

Water capital, Tom Shipbuilding Studio on the west coast, Roy came here alone, and Planck was responsible for finding a place to live and buying some supplies by the way.

"May the Holy Light be with you!"

Roy had just arrived here when he saw an extremely tall, horny, yellow-skinned murloc carrying a pair of logs and placing them next to a ship under construction, which looked almost finished. status.

"The strength is really great." Roy looked at the back of the murloc and commented that the murloc has an extraordinary physical fitness, but the amount of wood he just moved is not something ordinary murlocs can bear.

"The number one boatman on the island, Tom, may the light be with you!"

Hearing the sound from behind, Tom, wearing blue short sleeves, turned around and saw a black-haired human teenager wearing a long white windbreaker with a cross on his chest. He did not know when he had appeared behind him.

"Hello, boy, what do you want to do with me? Is it to build a ship?" In just a moment, Tom realized that the other party is not an ordinary person. If he is a pirate, he can take advantage of this strange whereabouts. With a reward of more than 20 million Baileys, it is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to approach such a short distance behind him so silently.

"Dear Tom Boatman, are you interested in making a unique boat?" Roy asked with interest.

"What boat?" Tom was aroused.

"Steel ship!" Roy's mouth raised.

"A big steel ship?" Tom touched his moustache. The boat is made of wood. In this way, the damage can be better handled and repaired. The idea of ​​using steel to build ships has been thought of a long time ago. But it doesn't work.

In addition to the poor repair work, the more important point is that the sail cannot be carried and is too heavy.

All ships in this world use sails as their main power. Even the so-called propellers of the "Sony" of the Straw Hats in the future can only be used for escape. The main power for sailing in normal times is still sails.

Steel is too heavy to be carried by sails. This is the main reason why no steel ships are used, including the government.

"En...Brother, do you know why you haven't driven a steel ship to sea from the past to the present?"

Tom seriously doubted whether the boy in front of him knew about boats, and he couldn't even let him build such a boat!

Roy smiled slightly. Of course he knew that there was no steel ship launching device in this world, but it did not mean that he did not have a method of making such a device. Of course, Roy's method was definitely not the so-called "steam engine" in the previous life, but the system gave him One of the drawings-"Sky Noble".

As long as Tom builds him out according to the drawings, the power will be fueled by the "Magic Stone" provided by the system for free.

After giving this drawing to Tom, Tom frowned. It was the first time he saw this kind of drawing of a steel ship, and he had never seen this kind of power unit.

This power plant?Is it really useful?There was a doubt in Tom's heart.

It just happened that there was no big business recently, and I wanted to see what could make the steel ship without sails start, so I took this business.

"Brother's name is..."

"Tirion D. Roy!"

Tom nodded: "I see, Roy, according to your idea, you can build a steel ship. Because it uses steel, the money and time used cannot be calculated at market prices!"

"Make a price!"

"Three hundred million Baileys, completed in one month!" To prevent Roy from feeling too much, Tom added three words at the end: "Personal price!" In fact, he didn't raise the price, a lot of high-quality steel plates instead of firewood, plus manpower. , 300 million Bailey is really close to the people, mainly he himself is also very interested, wanting to know what is the power of steel ships without sails.

"Only 300 million?" Roy was surprised.

Only 300 million...

Tom and the crew members behind him were all stunned. Could it be that this kid is a rich man and 300 million is just a joke for him?

Suddenly, Tom and others saw that Roy didn't know where to get the three boxes and put them on the ground.

Roy was about to open it, Tom and the others were taken aback, a box full of gold coins, and two boxes of silver coins.

Roy asked: "I don't know how much these are worth!"

"Huh?" Tom waved and summoned two murlocs and started counting the gold and silver.

The murloc who was in charge of the inventory said: "There is about one hundred and fifty million Baileys here. It must be enough as a deposit, but now we..."

Although Roy killed a lot of pirates before and exchanged a lot of money, Roy and the others also spent a lot of money along the way.

Planck once calculated that the two of them spent more than 130 million Baileys on the road. For this reason, Planck complained that every time Roy went to a city, he would have all kinds of pleasures, wine and massage. And delicacy, one does not fall, which led to the money spent so quickly.

"Anxin, I know your rules." Roy scratched his head at a sign that "only accepts the full amount": "I will make up the remaining money immediately!"

"No... even if you say that, the remaining one hundred and fifty million Baileys..." The murloc stammered.

"Are there any pirates offering a reward of more than 150 million Baileys on this island?" Roy asked suddenly.

"You, don't you want to..." Everyone was startled, and they already understood what Roy wanted to make money with.

"We are boat craftsmen and we don't know much about pirates." Tom blinked his small eyes that were completely incompatible with his figure, and persuaded: "Don't mess around, brother, 150 million. Wan Baili is a very high reward. It takes at least a month to build such a ship. I don't ask you to pay it all at once. You can slowly kill some weak pirates and accumulate it!"

Although Roy had killed a lot of pirates, his fame hadn't completely spread to Tom, who didn't pay attention to the news of the pirates.

"Oh? This is Tom Shipbuilding Studio. We are going to build a ship, boss!"

Just as Roy wanted to thank Tom for his care and concern, he heard a man shouting from a distance. Everyone turned their heads and looked around. Only a dozen men were rushing over here. The red-haired boy wears a straw hat on his head.

And the others are all extraordinary, especially the man in the middle with a curvy black beard and big white teeth that made Roy have a "not simple" idea.

Moreover, these people look very familiar.

"Don't make noise, brat!"

Still a blond, very young Raleigh came out and said: "Sorry, we want to invite you to build a boat to continue our sailing journey, a big boat that can accommodate about fifty people!"

The deputy of the future One Piece, this kind of work is usually carried out by Raleigh.
