I am the weakest on the pirate ship

"Speaking of which," Pokomus suddenly asked, "The captain should know that there are seven branch lines in the first half of the Grand Line. Which one should we choose?"

Niu Baile was already prepared for this. A pointer was thrown from the Spider Castle during Golden Week. Niu Baile reached out and took it. We don't choose any of them, go here.

With that said, he handed the pointer to Pokmus.

"This is... the permanent pointer, Clockwork Island"

"Yes," Niu Baile threatened to say to the crew who didn't know the situation yet: "Let's go to Clockwork Island first."

The second part of Clockwork Island theatrical version, the original book does not give an answer as to whether this island is near the entrance or the exit of the Great Route of the East China Sea. However, throughout the story line, you can notice that the navigator Nami has a Not wearing record hands.

So it can basically be determined that Clockwork Island is in the East China Sea.

Originally Niu Baile thought so too.

It was not until he unearthed the box containing the permanent pointer from the pile of debris robbed from the headquarters in the Strong City World during the Golden Week, and found the permanent pointer pointing to the Clockwork Island in the box, that Niu Baile temporarily changed. Plan, go to Clockwork Island first.

The main business of the Zio family is trading and selling. The permanent pointers of some islands on the Grand Line are of course within the scope of the family's sales business, including the permanent pointers of Clockwork Island.

Clockwork Island has only become active in the gang and underground world in the past two years. Because Clockwork Island's craftsmanship is extremely high and many of the parts produced can be used in the manufacture of weapons, so two years ago, the Poker Pirates occupied After Clockwork Island, these parts began to be sold to the outside world. Many ambitious gangsters and pirates purchased permanent hands and went to Clockwork Island to trade.

"Our most important task at the moment is to find the crew, navigators and ship's doctors we urgently need."

Niu Baile explained: "Although Sister Xile has 10 years of sailing experience, her development direction is towards shipwrights. With her experience, she can handle sailing in the West Sea, but when she comes to the great sea route, sailors still have to be more careful. Only professionals can do this.”

In the Clockwork Island story line, Brod, the older brother of the thieves who led the Straw Hats to fight the Poker Pirates, is a genius in using wind and waves, and has some mechanical talents. He is Niu Baile's favorite One of the choices of navigators.

As for whether or not Brod can be persuaded to join, we don't think about it for now. What I worry about most is that we won't meet him. I will go to Clockwork Island in case the Thief Brother happens to be away.

Clockwork Island is near the exit of the Grand Line. Niu Baile doesn't dare to wander around here now. With the Babao navy behind, the gang's pursuers barely have to worry about it, but Moonlight Moria, Charlotte Mundo These two forces of yours cannot help Niu Baile's willfulness.

Journey to Clockwork Island There is not much time for the Niu Niu family to land. If they cannot meet the Thief Brothers, it can only be said that there is no chance. The candidate of the Navigator will be considered elsewhere.

Niu Baile made nonsense: "In the intelligence of the Zio family gang, there is a pair of thief brothers on Clockwork Island. The elder brother Brod has extremely high talent in navigation. I hope to invite him on board this trip. If he is If they refuse or their brothers happen to be away from the island, they can also collect some technical books, which will be very important for us to modify the ship belonging to the Niu Niu family in the future."

In the end, Niu Baile laughed ferociously: "I heard that the boss of the Poker Pirates is a complete villain. Unfortunately, he is also what we have always wanted, a user with the ability of the Steel Fruit."

In fact, the Poker Pirates are completely unknown, and they don’t even have a reward order at the moment. Who would know that their boss is a user with the Steel Fruit ability?

Many people who come to Clockwork Island to trade think that the Big Bear King is the king of this island. For technical forces, most of the time gangsters and pirates will choose to trade according to the rules. If they use force to rob, it will arouse the dissatisfaction of other trading forces and become public enemy.

In addition, Clockwork Island itself is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are very few armed conflicts. Therefore, the combat power and intelligence of the Big Bear King and the Poker Pirates are rarely exposed. This is why the Straw Hats came here three or four years later, and the Poker The reason why the bounties of the Card Pirates are extremely low.

The Big Bear King, who has the ability of the Iron Fruit, will have a bounty of 1160 million Baileys in three or four years; the Sweetheart Queen, who has the pseudo-natural fruit ability of the Paste Fruit, will have a bounty of 780 million Baileys, which is incredibly low.

In Niu Baile's conception, the steel fruit is the most ideal fruit for Sister Xile to be a shipwright. With this fruit and her engineering background, she can build or transform a giant steel ship, and she will have enough power to conquer this land. The most important hardware facility in the sea.

Only the Steel Fruit can create a steam engine with the existing technology. Although the pirate world itself has a steam engine, that kind of technology does not belong to Niu Baile.

Instead of going all out to obtain technology, it is better to solve the problem fundamentally. As long as there is a steel fruit, whether it is a ship or a steam engine, as long as Niu Baile can provide drawings and concepts, the steel fruit can be realized.

Superhuman material fruits, such as Mr.3's Wax Fruit, can not only turn themselves into wax, but also release wax and create them out of thin air, and they also have shaping functions.

Devil Fruit is the primary productive force.

In the original work, the Iron Fruit of the Big Bear King specifically exhibits two abilities: possessing a body of steel and exhibiting a high-heat state.

MR.1's Blade Fruit, Bellamy's Spring Fruit, and Mad Torega's Chain Fruit are all the lower fruits of the Iron Fruit in theory, but these three are far more powerful than the Big Bear King, so Devil Fruits The ability still needs to be exercised and developed by the user.

The most important purpose of the trip to Clockwork Island is the Steel Fruit of the Big Bear King.

In the original work, why was Teach the Blackbeard able to seize the fruit?

This triggered many conjectures. Combined with Blackbeard's ability, Niu Baile concluded that first of all, the Dark Fruit has space capabilities, and secondly, the Dark Fruit has the ability to devour.

One thing that is certain is that his ability to snatch the Devil Fruit is not only due to the swallowing of the Dark Fruit. Otherwise, the swallowing can only be swallowed by himself and cannot distribute the ability to the crew, but Blackbeard can strip the ability out.

Suppose that after the death of a Devil Fruit user, the soul leaves the body and goes to the underworld, and then the Devil Fruit is resurrected in a random place.

Referring to Brooke, Brooke's soul first reached the underworld after death, and then returned from the underworld. This proves that the power of the Devil Fruit accompanied him to the underworld first, and then activated the power of the fruit.Then he returned to the Yang world and was resurrected.

Therefore, before the soul reaches the Underworld or while the soul is still in this world, the power of the Devil Fruit continues to attach to the soul.

If this is the case, then kill the ability user in the space created by the Dark Fruit. After the death of the ability user, the soul cannot protrude out of the locked space and return to the underworld. Blackbeard uses the devouring ability to devour the soul, and the power of the Devil Fruit is released and begins to resurrect.

However, the power of the Devil Fruit cannot break through the dark space, because it is an independent space in itself, so the random resurrection location is still in the dark space.
