Pirate: My saber is a shining single scabbard

After leading the two Hughes to the workshop, the shipyard manager left first.

"See you again, Kevin."

Kevin smiled and said, "You should be looking for me for ship design."

When the test flight device lost control and landed on the opponent's ship yesterday, he discovered that the ship under his feet had reached its navigation limit.

Moreover, they were led here by the shipyard manager, so the purpose of their visit was obvious.

After confirming, Kevin gestured in the direction of the building: "Let's go in and talk."

Then the two of them crossed over the bodies on the ground and followed Kevin into the workshop.

slap~

After entering, Hughes and Sonia observed the environment without leaving any trace.

Upon entering, there is first a display area with various items invented by Kevin, most of which are weapons.

There is a lot of clutter further inside. There are various tools and equipment hanging on the walls, and the floor is also piled with various items. This should be Kevin's work area.

Kevin didn't seem to be in a hurry to discuss the boat design. Instead, he walked to the display area and pointed at the items one by one to sell them to the two of them.

Flamethrowers, flash bombs, heavy machine guns, special bombs... In the end, even the semi-finished flying device was introduced.

Hughes and Sonia also had their eyes opened, but they were just taking a look, and some of them were interested but had no intention of buying immediately.

In addition to being less necessary, the high price is also a problem. This kind of consumable is a bit of a luxury even if it is bought for subordinates.

Seeing that the customer had no intention to buy, Kevin also lost interest and sadly led the two of them inside.

After clearing out a few seats and sitting down, Kevin took out the drawings and pens, and his expression became serious.

"First tell me what your requirements are for the new ship."

"Medium scale, if you want the dragon bone, use Baoshu Adam."

Kevin nodded, he had heard about what happened yesterday.

"There are two types of power, sail and steam."

steam?

Kevin's eyes lit up. Compared with ordinary sailboats, he was more willing to design and manufacture ships with steam as the power source.

In addition to showing his skills, building such a new boat is also an accumulation of skills and experience.

"anything else?"

Kevin was waiting for the next step, but the other party didn't say anything for a long time. When he was confused, he raised his head and met Hughes's scrutinizing gaze.

"what happened?"

"Are you really okay with using steam as a power source?" Hughes looked at Kevin steadily, "I've heard Paul complain about you a lot."

"Uh...what did he tell you?"

"A lot of them, especially the group of pirates who fell from the sky and broke into pieces."

Kevin first laughed guiltily, then patted his chest and promised:

"Don't worry, it's different from the jet device. If it's just steam power, I'm pretty sure!"

While making the guarantee, Kevin also gave up the idea of ​​stuffing private goods into the other party's new ship.

The group of people in front of us are not the little pirates who were easily fooled in the past. If they mess around, people will die!

Hughes then continued to express his thoughts:

"Hidden impellers driven by human power should also be installed on both sides of the hull, so that when the sails and steam fail, the ship can be moved by human power!"

Kevin groaned: "Well... no problem!"

"Oh, by the way, it's best to have two small vehicles, a submarine and a speedboat."

"This..." Kevin thought for a while and said, "It's no problem if the money is available!"

Hughes looked at him suspiciously: "Is the submarine okay?"

He just mentioned this casually according to Sonny's number, but he didn't expect that the other party also picked it up.

Kevin patted his chest again and promised: "Please believe in my strength!"

"All right..."

"Also, in addition to basic rooms such as kitchens and bedrooms, some space must be reserved on the ship to be converted into functional rooms, such as bars, practice rooms, etc..."

bar?

Kevin gave the other person a weird look and recorded it.

"Any more?"

Hughes hesitated for a moment and then tentatively said: "The jet device that can make the ship fly..."

Ok?

Kevin perked up and responded quickly: "This is fine too!"

"Wait a minute..."

Hughes looked at the excited Kevin and asked, "How sure are you? Don't try to fool me!"

This thing is good, the Straw Hats have used this ability to get out of danger several times, and he is also very greedy.

But if the technology is not enough, the huge energy does not successfully erupt outwards, or the flight is not stable enough, the consequences are likely to be the destruction of the ship and the death of people!

Kevin tries to gain Hughes' trust.

"Don't worry, I have already tested it on two medium-sized ships, and have made improvements many times since."

"The group of pirates Paul was talking about had successfully taken off and landed many times, and they finally fell to death just because of improper operation!"

Hughes asked in surprise: "How did you know that you installed a black box on it?"

Although Kevin didn't know anything about black boxes, he understood what Hughes meant and explained:

"As an after-sales service, I have been using the phone bug to keep in touch with the pirates. It also makes it easier for me to collect information for improvement."

“All in all, I am now confident that I can install a safe and reliable injection device on my boat!”

Seeing that the other party was so confident, Hughes was willing to take some risks and give it a try.

Next, the two parties discussed more details in depth, including the selection of other wood materials, approximate cost, completion date, etc...

Finally, while sorting out the information, Kevin made a suggestion to the two Hughes.

“Honestly, when completed, this boat will be the most complex and best boat I have ever designed and built!

Likewise, it will not be easy to repair and maintain it in the future.

So I suggest you find a boatman who is familiar with machinery as soon as possible. "

boatman?

Hughes glanced at Kevin.

If there is anyone who is most familiar with the new ship and has the best ability to maintain it, it is the person in front of me.

"Kevin, do you have any ideas about going to sea?"

Going to sea?

Kevin was stunned for a moment and instantly understood what Hughes meant.

Hughes continued talking without waiting for Kevin to respond.

"I heard from Paul that your dream is to become a great inventor with a reputation that spreads across the ocean.

And I believe that the Blood Sword Pirates will definitely become the focus of the sea in the future!

If you join us, your inventions and names will be more easily known to the world.

Aren't you short of funds for your research...

Join us and grab it together if you don’t have enough money!

Moreover, there are more precious materials in the vast sea, such as memory metal that can be deformed at will.

More powerful and advanced technologies and inventions, such as robots that can emit lasers.

Don’t you want to see these? "

Hughes solemnly invited: "Kevin, come join us!"

He was willing to take risks with those submarines and jet devices before, and this was also the reason.

If Kevin joins, even if these things are still flawed, there will be enough time and opportunity to improve them.

"I..."

Kevin looked at Hughes with a complicated expression and didn't know how to respond for a while.

He had also thought about going to sea, and the other party's words really moved him.

But the reputation of the Blood Sword Pirates was too bad, and he didn't know much about this group of pirates yet, so he didn't know if it would be appropriate to join them rashly.

Hughes also saw Kevin's concerns.

"There's no rush. We're still far away from the completion of the new ship. We have enough time to improve our understanding and we can give you a reply when the time comes."
