Dragon Slayer of Pirate World

Leiter turned his head slightly:

"What did you say"

Gaji avoided his gaze:

"Lord Leiter, if you don't dislike me, please accept my daughter."

Leiter snorted:

"You like political marriages very much, Gaji. But your daughter is only 15 years old. She is just a child. Isn't it too early for you to talk about these things?"

Gaji almost knelt on the ground:

"No, no, Lord Leiter, I just want to prove my loyalty to you."

Leiter waved his hand and disappeared in an instant, leaving Gaji with weak legs in the shipyard.

Gaji looked up at the sky and clenched his fists tightly:

"Yes, I just want to be your father"

Time always flies by and the new year is here in a blink of an eye.

This was January 1514, 1. It had been nearly two months since Leite returned to the East China Sea.

A new powerful warship has entered the launch and debugging stage, the guerrilla fleet is about to take shape, the maritime track has officially begun to be laid, the new base of the 16th branch near Cocoyasi Village has been completed, and the recruitment of new recruits is nearing completion. The Bold Armed Group is still fast It has grown and expanded, with its business covering half of the East China Sea. The population of the Boulder Islands has exceeded 30, and there is a thriving scene everywhere. All of Leite's plans are moving forward in an orderly manner.

His younger brother Andre Larson also completed the reorganization of the 153rd branch and personally led the team to the main island of Boulder on this day to extend New Year's greetings to Leiter.

"Ha ha"

After a period of intense exercise, the shirtless Larson lay down softly.

He shook his head. He looked as if he had just walked out of a sauna. His whole body was soaked with sweat, and there were even bruises on his chest and abdomen:

"The gap between us seems to be getting wider again."

Lei Te just wiped the sweat from his temples, looking like he had some energy left:

"Do you think I've neglected my training in the past two months? I invited instructor Zefa to Donghai just to show my filial piety?"

Larson exhaled hot air, smiled and joked:

"That's not what I meant. It's just that you have gone through a year-long ascetic training, returned to the East China Sea, and have a stunning beauty like Miss Robin by your side. I thought you would relax properly."

Leiter shrugged:

"Robin has been out exploring recently."

Larson opened his mouth, as if he suddenly understood:

"No wonder you were so strong and angry just now."

1 month 8 day.

"woo"

With a whistle, the new warship built by Tom and Gaji slowly sailed into the sea.

After two months, this large command ship, which Leiter casually named "Dongfanghong", was finally delivered for use.

"120 meters long and 35 meters wide at its widest point, with iron armor covering both sides, semi-automatic control, 128 light cannons and 20 more, five-story duplex cabin, dual power of steam and wind, supplemented by a stern jet acceleration device , the speed of full sailing can reach 80 kilometers per hour or even higher. If converted into 24 hours, with sufficient energy, this ship can cross nearly 2000 kilometers of sea area in one day. How about it, Lord Leiter?"

While Tom is the main designer, the cheeky Gaji takes on the role of narrator.

"The overall feeling is beyond expectations. I recognize your work."

Leiter, who had already experienced the boat ride, nodded with satisfaction.

Although he criticized Gaji half a month ago, to be fair, in this era where wooden sailing ships occupy 99.9999, it is a rare achievement for Tom and Gaji to be able to research and successfully transform a steam battleship in such a short period of time. .

As a leader, he knows when to motivate his subordinates and when to give recognition.

So he asked:

"Gaji, have you done any research on plant extraction?"

For Gaji, who is always worried, perhaps letting him participate in more important things can give him a little peace of mind.

Jiazhi was slightly startled:

"What I'm best at is human genetic modification and weapons, but if it's just plant extraction, it's not too difficult a technology."

Leiter nodded:

"I used the power of Devil Fruit to cultivate a special plant on the main island of Boulder. Each plant has different characteristics. If you are free, please help me research and see if you can gain anything. .This matter involves my most core secrets. Except for you, no outsiders are allowed to know the least bit."

Gaji's eyes seemed to light up, and he quickly responded respectfully:

"Thank you for your trust, Lord Leiter. I will do my best."

In the next few days, the brand-new naval branch base and nearly 7000 new recruits were all in place. Elite combat forces specially selected from veterans were also assembled. Leiter's first thing after taking over the branch was finally completed successfully.

He also fulfilled his promise to his subordinates:

Dennis and Claire, two veteran lieutenant colonels, were promoted to colonels, Torres and William were promoted to lieutenant colonels, Owen and Gerald became majors, and even Mais, the orderly responsible for liaison, was promoted to a second lieutenant by Leiter.

In addition, due to the sudden increase in the number of grassroots soldiers, Leiter also made appropriate adjustments to the existing formations. Almost half of the grassroots soldiers were promoted to military ranks. In addition, he also expressed New Year blessings and hard work. For this reason, he distributed a considerable condolence bonus to all the soldiers, and he also used this to gain a lot of military morale and public opinion.

Of course he didn’t pay this money out of his own pocket:

Today, the 16th branch has nearly 20 naval personnel. It has long been the strongest branch in the entire East China Sea. The name "Black Dragon" is often mentioned even in the Great Route and the distant North Sea. The kingdoms under their jurisdiction, Islands, towns, and caravans are almost scrambling to provide them with funds. Since Leiter took office, at least [-] billion in cash and supplies have been received in two months.

Although in a sense, this money is no different from the "protection money" collected by pirates, the kingdoms, residents, and business travelers in this sea area have indeed experienced the long-lost peace and stability.Compared with the frightening and precarious life before, as long as they can live, trade, and rule in peace, they are certainly willing to pay this insignificant "special military expenditure."

The morning of September 2rd.

"Lord Leiter, according to your instructions, after my careful research, I found that these plants you planted do have magical powers, especially the Vigogo fruit and Tretego fruit, which are almost equal in stimulating energy and healing injuries. Yu Miracle. I have initially developed a refining instrument that can extract and refine the nutrients of ripe fruits. The only question is whether Lord Leiter wants a liquid or a solid potion."

After all, he was a colleague of Vegapunk. It took Gaji less than a month to make a major breakthrough in this research topic. Before the sky was bright that day, he enthusiastically called the bug through the phone. Leiter reports.

Leiter was quite pleased with his positive work attitude and asked a question:

"Do liquid and solid states have any impact on the efficacy of medicine?"

Gaji answered very professionally:

"Most of the nutrients in these plants are absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract, so the liquid state must be more suitable for exerting the effect. However, the liquid state is not as good as the solid state in terms of storage conditions and validity period."

Leiter nodded:

"Then make them separately. [-]% will be made into nutrient solution and [-]% will be made into pills. Remember to conduct strict tests to ensure there are no side effects."

Gaji responded excitedly and was about to claim credit from Leiter when he heard the voice of Lieutenant Mais coming from the phone.

Leiter immediately hung up the phone and turned to his orderly:

"What's wrong"

Max saluted:

"King Norton of the Kingdom of Navia sent 5000 million berries to sponsor the military and invited Major General Leiter to visit the kingdom."

Leiter waved his hand:

"As long as you keep the money, you don't need to be a guest. Thank him for me. These fat-headed stupid kings, every time I see them, I am always worried that I will kill them the next moment."

Meis nodded and took notes, but did not leave yet:

"Another thing, the quadrennial world conference is about to be held. The Navy Headquarters has just issued an order. As the most powerful branch in the East China Sea and the commander-in-chief of the guerrilla fleet, we need to escort the kings of more than ten kingdoms to Marigioa to participate. Meeting."

A trace of disgust flashed in Leiter's eyes. He knocked on his desk and said lightly:

"Understood, you step back."

In this position, he couldn't refuse.

In fact, even prominent figures such as Garp, Zefa, Aokiji, and Kizaru had to perform tasks that they were unwilling to accept.

The world conference may not be the stage for him to perform.

But that doesn't mean there's nothing he can do.

Mace exited the office and Leiter let out a breath.

He put his feet on the table and looked out the window sideways.

A ray of morning light happened to shine through.

The sun had just jumped over the sea, and the whole world seemed to be coated with a layer of golden light.

The sky is bright and the east is red.
