Pirates OL

"Although Visalia is an empty island, the news is still very well-informed!" Feeling the changes in the eyes of these old scientists, Lu Ze smiled and praised, then nodded and agreed: "I did kill the Golden Lion not long ago And use him as a bargaining chip to exchange with the world government for the qualification to become the king's Shichibukai."

Hearing Lu Ze's affirmative answer, the leader's eyes lit up, and he quickly turned his head to communicate with his companions in a low voice.

After saying a few words in a low voice, these old men agreed, nodded and looked directly at Lu Ze.

The old man who was still the leader negotiated as a representative: "Hahahaha! I didn't recognize you, Your Excellency Kenway, in the face of such obvious features before. I'm really sorry." After apologizing, he changed the subject and said: "However, since If it's you, then we can really have a good talk about the cooperation... Please come with me this way."

"Then bother."

Lu Ze nodded with a smile, waved to Matthew and Daisy beside him, and followed the slowly moving boat-shaped aircraft.

Although these old scientists decided to consider cooperating with the Black Flag Pirates due to Lu Ze's reputation and the good impression he left on them during the negotiations, but whether they learned from the newspaper or saw it with their own eyes before, This made them quite afraid of Lu Ze's strength. Although it was a bit impolite, they didn't intend to invite Lu Ze and the three of them to board the boat.

After all, the distance of being on the same mobile vehicle is too close for them, and they don't feel safe at all!

Hmm... Although considering the strength of the three of Lu Ze, it's actually useless for them to do so~

Lu Ze didn't feel offended by the behavior of these old scientists.

Although his current strength is indeed strong enough to deserve some special treatment, as a modern person with a solid outlook, he doesn't have so many messy problems, and he won't get angry at all because of such an insignificant matter.

On the contrary, he is now surrounded by a group of old men driving small boat-shaped aircraft and walking towards a certain direction. When he looks at Daisy and Matthew, he still has a little smile in his eyes from time to time, obviously for these old men. It's fun to be scared, defensive, and flattering.

As a small empty island, Visalia is almost the same size as a small village. Naturally, it took only a few steps to reach the place the leader said.

A small bungalow that looks cozy and ordinary.

"Your Excellency Kenway, the humble house is simple, please."

The old man who was the leader rubbed his hands, walked quickly to the front with some embarrassment, and opened the door as a gesture of invitation.

This is also the helplessness of the old man who is the leader. As an independent organization with a somewhat semi-reclusive nature, Visalia has never prepared a meeting place for outsiders at all.

Although there is a conference room for them to summarize research results, plan the next research direction, and discuss matters, the location of that conference room is inside their key research institute.

In that research institute, almost all the research essence of Visalia over the years is backed up and stored in it. Its importance is so high that it is really not suitable for outsiders to enter.

Not to mention, an outsider like Lu Ze who is so powerful that they can't stop them even if they want to do something!

Therefore, after thinking about it for a long time, the old man who is in charge can only choose this place.

"No, no, we are the ones bothering you, and it's just for a chat and there is no need for a formal occasion."

Lu Ze shook his head,

He didn't mean to put on airs, so he just smiled and walked into the house with the old man.

By now, after getting in touch with Lu Ze, he has roughly figured out that the old man in charge should be the equivalent of the village chief on Visalia, a small empty island.

If something happened, even though it was discussed with other people, he was the one who mainly came forward to manage it.

Lu Ze, the three of them, and Visalia, who were mainly in charge of affairs in addition to research, filed in and packed the village chief's house, which was not too big.

The living room, which was originally considered a warm space, suddenly became crowded and cramped, and there was nothing else.

"Cough...how about we change places, this place is really too small."

The village head old man said a little embarrassedly, he was a little nervous and serious at first, but now his old face was a little red.

"It's okay, that's it, can't we all sit down?" Lu Ze shook his head, he really didn't want to bother anymore, it's better to get to the point as soon as possible, "Let's talk about cooperation!"

"Then I'm sorry for your Excellency. I don't know what kind of charter is the cooperation you mentioned, Sir Kenway?"

Hearing Lu Ze directly put it forward, the old village chief asked directly without any scruples. It is already the limit for him to have the previous politeness.

"That's right. First of all, I was entrusted by the king of Alabasta to invite you to send people to this desert kingdom to adjust the precipitation. In fact, this is after our Black Flag Pirates solved the sand crocodile Crocodile for them. , It’s just a small favor that I promised to do after forming an alliance with the royal family, and it’s not one of the contents of our cooperation.”

"The cooperation I envision is very simple, that is, our Black Flag Pirates provide you with protection and a part of research funds, and you only need to give us some practical meteorological technology props to help us modify and upgrade some related facilities ,equipment."

"As for the depth of its cooperation, it only depends on you!"

"Deeper cooperation also means better protection and a higher amount of financial investment. It just depends on how far you are willing to open up the meteorological scientific achievements you have researched."

"We can talk about the specific cooperation content now..."

Under the somewhat bewildered gazes of the old men, Lu Ze talked eloquently, while Matthew and Daisy made supplements and gradually enriched the content of the cooperation.

As for the Visalia side headed by the village chief and the old man, after a short period of confusion, after a little discussion, Lu Ze's cooperation method is basically beneficial and harmless to them, so they no longer entangled directly. The matter of cooperation was agreed, and they began to pick out the terms of cooperation one by one.

"If you want sufficient technical support, and also want navigators to study with us, then the investment amount given before seems a bit insufficient! Please consider increasing the previous funds!"

When it came to investment issues, the old men kept arguing with Lu Ze and the others like chicken blood.

It's not for the research results not to be leaked, but to get more money from the benefactor in front of me!

After a long time of wrangling, the key meteorological props and some technical support will all have to be paid. If you can use this as a bargaining chip to get more investment, it is already a profit!

No way, Visalia also spends money on meteorological scientific research!

I have been relying on weather regulation for those areas in Qinghai that are affected by various strange weather. Although the income is quite a lot, it is really not high.

After all, those places have been persecuted by abnormal weather for so long, how can there be any money left!

Therefore, most of them are just collecting symbolic money, and Visalia, who is basically doing good deeds and doing charity, is really not rich in research funding.

Of course, the main reason is that they are unwilling to sell the meteorological results they have researched as weapons to the navy or other forces, otherwise there will definitely be no shortage of money.

The only thing to worry about is whether Visalia will be targeted by exposing the powerful power of weather weapons, and will be directly controlled by those forces and become their weapon research department.

These scientists are obsessed with the study of weather changes, and they don't care about the weapons in the research results as by-products. If they want to lose their freedom and become slaves who can only study weapons, it will be more uncomfortable than killing them .

In fact, they have done a good job of keeping their weather weapons secret. At least before Lu Ze came to the door, their existence was seen by the world as scientists who could adjust the local weather. There was no threat at all. Too much to pay attention to.

This situation naturally gave Lu Ze a chance to act.

After the terms of a round of cooperation are determined, Lu Ze will figure it out for himself. As long as these technologies are assembled on the Ark Proverbs, and then the [Thundercloud Generation Device] is optimized and upgraded, with the help of these instruments, even if Lu Ze has not entered the [Legend] In terms of rank, the attack power and destructive power that just erupts can definitely be regarded as an upper-middle-level existence in the [Legendary] rank.

"In this way, even if there are enemies at the level of emperors, generals, and four emperors appearing in the top battle, I will not be completely powerless to resist."

Walking out of the room, Lu Ze thought happily.

Going to war in his plan is crucial to whether he can reach the sky in one step. If he can, of course he needs to prepare more hole cards.

And this is the main reason why he came to Visalia at such an important moment.

"Happy cooperation!"

Turning around, he shook hands with the old man, the village chief, with smiles on both sides.

"The specific matters will be discussed by Matthew. After all, Matthew still needs to study in Visalia for a period of time. In this regard, he will have a deeper understanding and many aspects."

Lu Ze thought for a while and wanted to add, and Matthew standing beside him also nodded calmly.

As the oldest, calmest and most reliable character in the Black Flag Pirates, coupled with his stable loyalty of 100, Lu Ze naturally would not have any hesitation in entrusting these matters to him.

"Hahahaha! Matthew's foundation is very solid, I think he can learn quickly!"

Hearing Lu Ze's words, the old village chief praised him without hesitation. The smiling face was clearly not a polite way of saying it, but he was really satisfied with Matthew.

Not only that, except that the old man of the village chief was very satisfied with Matthew, the other old men of scientists also echoed him again and again, without the slightest subconscious rejection of the pirates before.

In the short time just now, Matthew was helping Lu Ze revise the content of cooperation, while chatting, he was able to make the village chief and other scientists and fathers evaluate him to such a high level. I have to say that Matthew's own ability The level is also quite high.

"Thanks to the teachers for their approval. I still have a lot to learn, and I will bother you more in the future!" Nodding gently, Matthew, who is already a middle-aged man, did not feel any pride because of these compliments.

The accumulation of the first half of his life, as well as the encounter that changed his destiny, have already changed his original proud and cold personality, so naturally he will not fluctuate his mood because of this trivial matter.

Seeing that the old men had a tendency to chat with Matthew again, Lu Ze quickly talked about Alabasta.

"Since the cooperation between us has already been arranged, please arrange some people to go to the Kingdom of Alabasta with me. It is beginning to return to normal...but even normal precipitation is not very optimistic, and if some adjustments can be made to increase precipitation, the pressure on the country can really be relieved."

"This trip, the price they offered is quite generous, and they won't disappoint everyone."

This point was emphasized by Naferutali Cobra, the king, before Lu Ze went to Visalia. He directly stated that there is no problem with paying some price, as long as the precipitation in Alabasta can be recovered. Ascension, then it's all worth it.

"Hehehe, of course we will not stop doing business. Although Alabasta is a bit far away, you will definitely have no problem traveling with Your Excellency Kenway." Hearing Lu Ze's words again, the old village chief nodded cheerfully, "If you don't have any urgent matters, Lord Kenway, please rest on the island for a day or two, and we will set off with you as soon as we are ready!"

Lu Ze nodded happily: "No problem, then I will stay on the island for a while, and I will also visit your meteorological research results by the way."

"Also, take this opportunity to study the technology of the [Thundercloud Manufacturing Device] on my Ark Proverbs. If it is convenient to modify, please use your existing technology to speed up the generation speed and discharge efficiency of thunderclouds. .”

"After trying it a few times before, I obviously found that the speed of this device to create thunderclouds is really slow. In a real battle, if you are not strong enough to resist or even defeat the enemy, it is impossible to have enough time. To create accumulating thunderclouds to increase my combat power!"

"Such an obvious shortcoming is really of little significance for actual combat, so please ask a few masters to help me modify it!"

"As long as it satisfies me, everything is fine!"
