Pirates: Knowledge is power

"Ten years..." Dram held his chin and thought for a moment, then smiled: "It's enough time. In five years at most, I will need a new boat. Then I will ask Mr. Tom to take care of it for me." .”

"it is good."

Tom hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed.

After all, he didn't want to see a child's work disappear just after sailing on the sea due to his own reasons.

Tom counted on his fingers and reminded Drum:

"Now that you have decided, I won't persuade you any more. Let me remind you in advance that the cost of building this ship is not low, and the price is much higher than that of ordinary ships..."

"According to Mr. Tom's calculation, how many Baileys will it cost?"

Tom calculated the cost carefully, held out three fingers to Dram, and said:

"Three hundred million Baileys! I will use the best materials to build this ship for you, meet your requirements as much as possible, and increase the life of this ship."

"Okay." Dram nodded. Three hundred million beli, although a bit much, was still within his acceptance range and not much more than he expected.

After all, Drum has accumulated a lot of Baileys over the years, and he just robbed the cruise ship of the nobles of the Kingdom of Dorosa. Not to mention other things, the luxury cruise ship alone is worth a lot of money.

Not to mention the precious items on the cruise ship and the jewelry extorted from the nobles of Dorosa.

Although Drum did not calculate the details, the sum of those jewels was more than enough to buy two more luxury cruise ships like that!

"Tomorrow morning, I will send the money over."

Drum said this. If it were anyone else, Drum would have hesitated no matter what he said.

But Tom is different. Although he is a fishman, he will not do anything that damages his reputation. After all, he still has lofty ambitions in his heart...

The navy and pirates would do things like running away with money and not keeping credit. Although Tom had some relationship with pirates, he was not a pirate. He would not do such bottomless things.

"By the way! Mr. Tom, I also want to buy some more research equipment. I wonder if Mr. Tom has channels in the Capital of Seven Waters?"

"Uh...what do you want to buy?"

There are indeed a lot of products in the Capital of Seven Waters. Tom has been in the Capital of Seven Waters for so many years, so he still has the connections he should have. Otherwise, he would also have a headache when facing some customers with special requirements.

But he will definitely not do those illegal transactions. If he is targeted by the World Government and sent to Impel Down, the gain will outweigh the loss...

Drum fumbled in his pocket and took out a folded piece of paper.

Tom took the paper and unfolded it. After reading the list above, he took a breath.

Although the items requested on the list were a bit difficult to obtain, they were not prohibited items and he could get most of them.

"There is nothing wrong with the items on the list. In terms of price, it costs about 500 million. Except for these two items, I have no channels. I can get everything else." Tom pointed to the two items on the list and said to Drum .

Looking at the two items pointed by Tom, Drum frowned and said:

"It doesn't matter. Mr. Tom just needs to get the other things. The price is not an issue."

Drum's original idea was that it would be best to gather things together in the Capital of Seven Waters. After all, the Capital of Seven Waters is rich in materials and has a mixed mix of people, so it would be easier to get these research equipment.

If he couldn't get it all, it would only delay his original plan, not a big deal.

"Okay." Tom agreed and pointed to other items and said:

"These things are all in stock in the Capital of Seven Waters, and they don't cost much effort. However, because there are not many people in need of these kinds of things, those people need to transport them in from outside."

"If Mr. Durham is not in a hurry, you can stay in the Seven Waters Capital for a while. In this case, the price may be cheaper without expedited shipping."

"How long will it take?" Drum asked.

Tom thought for a while and said, "If I build this ship by myself, it will take about two months. If I hire some workers, it can be completed in about twenty days at most."

"As for what you need, if you rush it, it will take about half a month. If you don't rush it, it will take a month."

"Mr. Tom will just finish it as quickly as possible, and I'll pay for the expedited freight."

Durham did not adopt Tom's money-saving advice. He came to Tom this time without revealing his whereabouts.

After all, he had just appeared from the navy not long ago, and a man with two horns must be very obvious among a group of ordinary people.

And Drum has not deliberately hidden himself in the past ten years. I am afraid that by this time, the fact that he has lived in the Kingdom of Dorosa for ten years has been investigated by the Navy and the World Government.

Detailed information is definitely impossible, but some basic information about him can definitely be investigated.

No matter how outrageous the intelligence agencies of the Navy and World Government were, they would definitely not be able to obtain the information if he did not show his power overtly.

In terms of strength, except for the powerful monsters of Sengoku Garp, Drum is confident of defeating the rest of the navy.

And his extremely vague intelligence is an advantage he has now. By making good use of this, Dram is confident that he can make the navy suffer a small loss, but there may be a lot of trouble in the future.

Referring to Kaido in the past, Delam did not want to expose his whereabouts and strength to the eyes of the Navy and the World Government.

After all, Dram must take a lesson from Kaido's tragic experience when he was ten years old and before he grew up.

Lest he be like Kaido, who is betrayed and still hungry, so he has to look for the navy to make a living.

Just be obscene and develop now. As for doing this kind of thing against the world government, let’s talk about it in a few decades!

After chatting with Tom for a while, Durham left Tom's little house.

As soon as he went out, Drum jumped onto the roof and left quickly with the help of the neat rows of roofs in the Capital of Seven Waters.

But Dram had no strength at all, and coupled with his height and weight, he crushed a lot of tiles.

Although his behavior caused many residents of the Seven Waters City to yell at him.

"Who! I don't want anyone to sleep in the middle of the night!"

"What bastard is causing trouble? The radish I just cooked is so soft!"

But when they poked their heads out, Drum had already left, paying no attention to the group of people.

In order to better cover up his whereabouts, Drum did not choose to stay in a hotel. Instead, he asked Victoria to rent an independent house in a remote place...

In this case, his movements will be more convenient.

As for the rebels, after selling the luxury cruise ship for a large amount of money, they replenished some supplies. Then in order to quickly go to sea, they did not ask the shipbuilder to customize a ship like Dram, but instead He robbed a group of pirates' ship and quickly left the Seven Waters Capital.
