People are pirates, this navy is not very fair!

Water Capital, Center Street, No. 136.

Four people stood outside a three-storey garden villa.

Sephiroth was carrying big and small bags in his hand, and he couldn't help sighing softly as he watched the iron fence door being closed tightly.

The keys and the like have already been sunk into the sea...

With this in mind, the young man put the ingredients in his hands on the ground and arranged them. Then he rolled up his sleeves and climbed up the iron gate with a gap of three fingers wide.

"Sephiroth, is this really your home?" the green-haired girl, Boya Sandasonia, asked suspiciously.

"Huh!? I lost the key when I was shipwrecked.

Don't worry, I still have a spare..."

While speaking, Sephiroth had climbed over the five-meter-high iron fence and landed in the front yard of the villa.

He walked a few steps quickly, and came to the mahogany gate of the villa. He stopped beside the potted sunflower on the right side of the gate. He squatted down, lifted a corner of the potted plant with his right hand, and touched the bottom of the potted plant with his left hand. He touched it and took out a bunch of keys.

The original person actually secretly left a spare key here. Isn't he afraid of being robbed at home?... Sephiroth muttered in his heart, turned around and walked towards the iron gate, and opened the door for the three women.

In the front yard of the villa, in addition to vegetation and flowers planted along the fence, there is also a swimming pool that receives seawater from the outside. It is [-] meters long, [-] meters wide, and [-] meters deep.

The original body still likes swimming quite a bit, and his water skills are not bad. As for the current him...?

Looking at the sparkling swimming pool, Sephiroth felt that as a Devil Fruit user, he would be drowned if he soaked in the one-meter-five-meter-deep sea water...

He opened the door of the villa with the key, and a spacious living room came into view of the four of them.

The interior decoration of the villa is somewhat similar to the European style, and the shape is very elegant. Whether it is the hollow pattern on the wall, the position of the fireplace, or the layout of the furniture, they all pursue a sense of visual elegance.

Sephiroth casually touched the couch and table. He found that he had been away for nearly half a month, and there was not much dust accumulated on the furniture. It was still within the acceptable range. There was no need to call a housekeeping company. The maid comes to clean.

Boa Hancock looked around the living room before she tentatively said:

"Sephiroth, do you have a phone bug in your house?"

"Yes, in the study on the second floor."

He nodded and took Boya Hancock to the study room on the second floor.

In the spacious room, in addition to a desk and two bookshelves, there is also a glass cabinet with various ship models filled with various ship models.

Although Sephiroth's father is a purchasing manager of a shipbuilding company, he is actually a skilled boatman with an inexplicable love for ships.

However, the original Sephiroth was not interested in ships. He believed that the shipbuilding industry on this island was coming to an end...

Back then, it was human nature to have this kind of thinking.

After all, due to the advent of the Great Pirate Age, pirates are rampant, and the shipbuilding business in the Water City has become increasingly difficult to do.

but……

Now Sephiroth knows that when the sea train is successfully built, the island will regain hope and the shipbuilding industry will be re-developed!

Thinking of this, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind...

In the original novel, Smoking Tom uses a steam engine, so the energy movement efficiency is not high.

What if it is replaced by an internal combustion engine?

In terms of energy utilization, the internal combustion engine is completely out of existence of the steam engine...

You know, there is oil in this world, and even diesel has been refined!

However, for the time being, no one thinks about them as fuel for mechanical power.

So, will the replacement of the power system speed up the completion of the sea train?

This is his hometown after all. If he can help, he will definitely not refuse, and this will also help him make good friends with Tom and his apprentice...

With the skills of the three craftsmen, he will inevitably need their help one day...

The phone bug was placed in a glass box on the desk. Boya Hancock stretched out his small hand and tapped the ball-sized shell of the phone bug to wake it up from its deep sleep.

After waiting for the phone bug to fully open its eyes, the black long straight girl pressed the number keys one by one on the right side of the shell with her slender fingers and dialed a number.

Bulu Bulu~!

After a while, the phone bug's call was connected, and a young woman's voice came from the phone bug's mouth.

"Hello! Who are you?"

"Is that Belladonna? I'm Hancock!"

"Hey hey hey...! Hancock, where have you three sisters been all this time?

We have been looking for you three for a long time but have not found them. Do you know how worried we are about you? "

"Sorry! It's like this..."

The black, long straight girl quickly explained how the three of them were captured by the slave arresting team and fled to the capital of water.

Due to the location of the Nine Snake Pirates, it is far away from the water capital, so the phone bug decided to let the three girls wait on the island for a few days before they could come over and take the three girls back to Nine Snake Island.

There were a lot of empty rooms in the villa, so Sephiroth arranged a separate room for each of the three daughters.

noon.

After the three girls finished enjoying the sumptuous lunch made by Sephiroth, they changed into the cool swimsuits they bought in the clothing store. Boya Sandasonia bought a green bikini swimsuit, and Boya Marigold bought a green bikini swimsuit. Pink bikini.

Due to the warm invitation of the three beautiful girls in swimsuits, Sephiroth had to arrange the drawing of the internal combustion engine until evening.

He put a swimming ring on his body, soaked his lower body in the sea water, and accompanied the three beautiful girls to play water volleyball in the swimming pool.

It has to be said that the suppressive effect of sea water on Devil Fruit users is very significant. Sephiroth just soaked his lower body in the swimming pool, and his body felt powerless. His strength and speed were reduced by most, and his physical strength was also very serious. .

However, Sephiroth was surprised to find that even though he was soaking in seawater now, if he wanted, he could still quickly recover his physical strength by consuming his lifespan, but this efficiency was much lower than in the normal state.

The sea water will only cause the devil fruit ability user to become powerless and sink into the sea, but it will not suppress the ability itself, just like the blue pheasant freezing the sea, the opponent is afraid of sea water, but it can freeze the sea water...

Does that mean that if he adapts to the weakness of the sea in the future, can he use his lifespan to convert it into physical strength, so that he can barely swim in the sea without being drowned...?
