The Worst Fruit Among Pirates

"Three, here we are."

In the 'Red Bay' on the other side of the Red Continent, the descending Bubble Cable Car slowly stopped.

"If you need to return to the New World, please remember to contact us in advance to arrange transfer. - Then, say goodbye."

Major General Tianzheng just turned around and left. He wanted to return to his station on the other side of the Red Earth Continent.And here, an 'old acquaintance' was already walking towards Rossi, Dover and others.

"Lieutenant General Crane?"

Rossi and Dover were slightly surprised by the visitor, but Jinbe didn't feel anything at all.

It shouldn't be. Although the status of 'Shichibukai' is not low, it is enough to send a major general to greet them.Crane is a real high-ranking officer who works part-time as the navy's chief staff officer. Why is he here?

"Do not misunderstand,"

The middle-aged Lieutenant General He could see through Rossi's doubts and Dover's fears at a glance.

"My presence here is just a normal personnel transfer. At the same time, I am also interested in the 'Sea Train' project you have made. I want to take a tour. Aren't you welcome?"

"Well, this is no problem."

"But we have just made the sample, whether it can be successful is still a question, and:"

Rossi looked to the side. A large number of people wearing navy justice coats were queuing up to take the bubble cable car to the new world. This number——

It has exceeded the normal personnel transfer, right?

"Follow me, I'll take you to the Capital of Seven Waters."

----

"Devil slaying order?"

"Yes, this is why Sister He appears at the Navy Headquarters."

On the warship with the big word "Crane" written on the sail, Gion, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, told Rossi directly the reason for the massive transfer of naval personnel.

Anyway, such a level of mobilization as the 'Demon Slaying Order' cannot be hidden from the many forces in the sea.

Maybe tomorrow, relevant reports will appear in the newspapers.

Demon-slaying order?

Rosie frowned.

The so-called "Demon Killing Order" is a military operation of the Navy, which carries out indiscriminate and devastating attacks on the area where the signal is sent, and is used to completely eliminate things and people in an area that pose a threat to the rule of the world government.

Under normal circumstances, the demon-slaying order is presided over by a general, and five lieutenants, 10 warships, and tens of thousands of elite navy personnel are dispatched.This power is enough to easily sweep through most countries and forces on the sea, and it is the sword of judgment feared by countless people!

When thinking about the Demon-Slaying Order, the thing that impressed Rossi most deeply was the 'O'Hara Incident'.

O'Hara, a famous archaeological holy place in the West Sea, is the hometown of Nicole Robin.It has the most scholars and the largest library in the world: the Tree of Omniscient.

However, the archaeologists there made a big mistake: they tried to excavate the "800 years of blankness" 100 years ago. After being blocked by the world government, the leader Dr. Clover even said the name in a desperate attempt:

Huge kingdom!

This is like Rossi's previous life, when a group of civilian scholars studied nuclear weapons and faced the peacekeeping forces, claiming that they had increased the concentration of uranium 235 to more than 90%...

If you don't die, who will die? !

So O'Hara was wiped out, and only Robin escaped with his life because of Qing Pheasant.

By the way, it was Sengoku who presided over O'Hara's demon-slaying order.

As for the demon-slaying order that the Straw Hats encountered more than 20 years later: only a group of school officers went off to practice, five lieutenant generals watched the whole show, and the generals paddled the water honestly. The only result was that the Judiciary Island was reduced to rubbish.

It's hard not to suspect that this is the Navy's attempt to 'beat' the CP organization. Anyway, that idiot Spandam is taking the blame.

Perhaps it is for this reason that many people in previous lives looked down upon the 'Demon Slayer Order'.However, how many people in the entire sea can resist the demon-slaying order?

"Who is so proud that he needs the Navy to send out the 'Devil-Slaying Order'?"

Faced with Rossi's question, Gion directly spit out a name:

"Douglas Barrett."

It's him.

What can I say about Barrett? It is also a tragedy.

He was a war orphan, captured by the state as a 'boy scout'.As consumables, they have no names.They are all called: Bullet, which is Barrett.

The captain of his team is called Douglas, so in fact Barrett's name is 'The 9th Bullet of Douglas Team'.Not even a human being, it’s both realistic and cruel!

On the harsh battlefield, any slack will lead to death; they can only seize every opportunity for survival: poisoning, assassination, betrayal... using the bodies of other 'Barretts' to block bullets is their daily life.

Countless 'Barretts' fell, only one person survived to the end, killed all his opponents, all his colleagues, killed their captain, and became the only 'Douglas Barrett'.

Therefore, Barrett only believed in his own strength and pursued strength with all his heart from the time he could remember.

Later, he met Roger. After being defeated by Roger, he accepted Roger's invitation and boarded his ship, and together with Rayleigh, he became known as Roger's right-hand man.

As a person who fought hard on the battlefield, Barrett's outlook on life has long been distorted: he will only obey more powerful men.After learning that Roger was ill, Barrett challenged Roger again and got off the ship after failing.

So Barrett has not been to 'Rough Drew', but even after getting off the ship, Roger still occupies an important place in his heart.

After learning that Roger had been executed, Barrett, who had lost his purpose, completely went berserk!

What a person like him needs is a man stronger than him to give him orders, so that he can continue unswervingly.It's a pity that Roger is dead. Whitebeard just wants to take in his son. There is no place for him on the sea.

"Barrett attacked the G6 base in the new world and threatened to resist the 'Demon Slaying Order'."

Gion frowned. She didn't quite understand Barrett's character who didn't want fame, wealth, or treasure, but simply pursued strength, even if he didn't hesitate to confront the navy head-on.

Facing the former 'number three' of the Roger Pirates, the navy would naturally not be polite:

Want to resist the 'Devil-Slaying Order'?Satisfy you——

Admiral Sengoku takes action personally!

Not to mention Barrett, even if Roger was resurrected, he would not be able to do well against the Demon-Slaying Order alone.

"It's really..."

Should he be said to be worthy of being the right-hand man of the former Pirate King, or should he be said to be a Buddha without being a madman?

"Then, this operation has nothing to do with us."

"Yes,"

Gion shrugged easily.

"With this kind of thing, as long as you, the Shichibukai, stay safe and don't cause trouble, it will be your greatest support to the navy."

This is not like the previous defense of the Navy headquarters, where the Shichibukai can come in handy; the Demon-Slaying Order is the Navy's biggest deterrent, it has never failed (at least that's how it was advertised) and does not require help from other forces.

Otherwise, how can the navy maintain deterrence all over the world?

----

one day later,

capital of seven waters,

It's not far from Judiciary Island, and it doesn't take long to get from the Navy Headquarters. Lieutenant General He's warship appeared in the waters of the Seven Waters Capital.

"Hey hey hey, when I saw Vice Admiral He's warship, I was wondering if it was you."

A warship came up, and Torepol on the ship saw Rossi and others on the warship at a glance.He happily waved hello, commanded the warship at his feet to turn to be parallel to the warship, and did not forget to wink at Rossi, who was standing side by side with Gion.

"Since we are all so close, wouldn't it be better if we all just 'go further'?"

Torebol's words were automatically filtered by Rossi, and now he is concerned about:

“How is the progress of the Sea Train project?”

"Come and see for yourselves -"

As the two ships docked in the Seven Waters, a group of people came to Tom's studio in the 'Scrapyard'.

On the coast that has become an open-air shipyard, there is a unique 'ship' docked.

sea ​​train,

The cylindrical front end, the towering chimney, the carriages, and the moving wheel pulled by connecting levers below... This thing cannot be said to be similar to Rossi's 'steam train' in his previous life, it can only be said to be exactly the same!

However, this is indeed a 'ship', and now this thing is actually 'floating' on the sea.

Because it is a test product that has just been built, the 'sea track' has not yet been laid.Now this sea train is floating quietly on the sea. As long as the steam engine at the front of the train is started, it can start speeding on the sea.

"This ship... is quite unique."

Even Lieutenant General He, who has experienced a lot and has been fighting on the sea for half his life, is still surprised by this 'uniquely shaped' ship in front of him.

"Since it's a boat, let's see if it can ride the wind and waves."

"More like a rail transport vehicle in a mine,"

Gion also expressed his opinion, which made Rossi couldn't help but nod.

"Well, Mr. Rosinandi, the sea train has just been manufactured. I wonder if it can sail normally..."

"Don't panic,"

Rosie waved her hand to the anxious fish-man Tom.

"You see there are so many masters, even if they can carry a sea train and run away, it will be no problem."

"Whether it's a machine failure, extreme weather, or a Neptune-type attack, we can easily handle it! Just drive with confidence."

Rossi, Dover, Jinbe, Torebol, Jorah...

There are also Lieutenant General Tsuru, Gion, and a group of naval officers...

Such a lineup is enough to activate the 'Demon Slaying Order'.Being the first batch of passengers on the "Sea Train" is not too luxurious, even if big pirates or super-giant Neptunes come, they will turn into corpses on the spot!

As for tsunamis, strong winds, thunder, lightning, snowstorms... they are not enough to see.

"Uh, okay."

Tom, the world's number one murloc shipwright, wiped his hands with cold sweat. Of course he was not worried about the masters on the ship, but he was worried that the first sea train would not be able to bear the torment of so many strong men.

This thing was made to make it easier for ordinary people to travel to and from the island.It is not to provide a place for strong men to fight.If anyone can't think of 'stretching their muscles', the train will be scrapped on the spot.

"Fufufu, this thing feels like an oversized carriage."

"Everyone, please be careful not to damage the hull——"

"We're about to set off. Passengers, please sit tight...forget it, it's up to you."

Cocoro, who works part-time as a "flight attendant," took a look at the experts in the carriage, all of whom had the lowest rank of lieutenant colonel. He felt that even if the sea train was shattered into pieces, they would still be unscathed.

"Set off!!"

woohoo~~~~~~

Amidst the long whistle, the chimney on top of the sea train spewed out a puff of thick white smoke. The wheels below were turning and slowly began to move forward on the sea.

"Oh? You don't need a sail or an oar to move forward."

Lieutenant General He, who was sitting in the carriage, flashed her eyes. As the navy's 'big staff officer', she immediately noticed the strategic value of this!

You must know that this is not a creation of "Devil Fruit Power", but a technological product that ordinary people can use. If it becomes popular, wouldn't it...

Can it create a new era?

“The idea is good, but the technology content is too low.”

In the car in front, the electronic voice of Dr. Tisdeno came from the robot that looked like an armored knight.

Although he has never dealt with Lieutenant General He, and as a scientist who is 'unable to restrain a chicken', he should not be overly concerned by the Navy, but be careful and you can't make a big mistake.

Dr. Tieshedeno himself was hiding in the Seven Waters Capital, remotely controlling this mechanical armored knight to participate in the maiden voyage of the 'Sea Train', while constantly complaining to Rossi.

"If you use the 'supercritical carbon dioxide heat engine' I propose, the power can be increased a hundred times immediately!"

"However, this idea that can change the sea actually uses a 'pot camel machine' with a shockingly low technological content?!"

The so-called boiler machine is a power machine in which a boiler and a steam engine are connected together.It is a true example of 'boiling water'. Coal, firewood, heavy oil, etc. can be used as fuel; if this is not possible, even tangerines, dead grass, and feces can be used.

This kind of "silly, big and thick" power source makes Dr. Tiesdeno despise it.

"But these are tools that ordinary people can use,"

In response, Rossi shook his head.

"Your 'supercritical carbon dioxide heat engine' cannot be used by ordinary people, but this 'pot camel machine' can bring power to any country and ordinary people who cannot read or write."

"And as long as this kind of sea train becomes popular, it will change the world——"

The Great Pirate Age of Sailboats and Oars?

Sorry, under Rossi's influence, it is more likely to become a 'big railway era'.

As for Luffy, who is not yet born, Rossi has no control over whether he will shout out "I want to be Leeroy's man" in the future.
