The Black Duke of the Pirate

The mighty momentum made the sound shake the sky, and the entire palace seemed to be shaken. Finally, the sound roared into the sky, and everyone in the royal city heard the sound.

"Stop, stop, stop...it's about to collapse." Feeling the vibration, Mingxia quickly stopped his strength, and the crashing sound stopped immediately.

Brat also took back the giant ax at the same time and returned to human form.

After the two separated, the condensed air flow exploded instantly and slowly dissipated.

Mingxiao was a little surprised. Through the contact just now, Bulat's power had actually increased to such a powerful level. If he hadn't used his elbow technique to mobilize all his strength to resist, I'm afraid he might not have been able to block this attack.

Especially the force that constantly penetrates from the axe's face is brutal, ferocious and violent, which is exactly the characteristic of the saber-toothed tiger.

The ancient species of the animal system should not be underestimated, but they are already so powerful just after eating the Devil Fruit. If the fruit reaches the stage of awakening after development and training, I am afraid that it will really become an unbeatable little strong.

At this time, Brat couldn't help but take a few steps back and put the giant ax at his feet. His arms were shaking slightly, which was caused by the powerful force of Dawn's elbow.

Bratt was even more surprised. Although he had known about Mingxiao's powerful strength for a long time, after this contact, he felt the word "powerful" deeply in his heart.

He just ate the Devil Fruit, and he felt endless power all over his body, as if he was invincible. He thought that after eating this Devil Fruit, he could at least be on par with Dawn in terms of strength.

But after just coming into contact, I discovered that the power in Mingxiao's elbow arm seemed to have no end. Even if his strength talent was different from ordinary people and the result of years of physical training, coupled with the strength bonus gained from the Devil Fruit he had just eaten, he could still

When I resisted Dawn's elbow attack before, there was a possibility that I would be blown away by this force at any time.

"Brother, you are so powerful." Bulat sighed.

Liming shook his head: "We are still too weak now. A truly strong person may only need one knife to defeat someone like you and me."

Not to mention the powerful men at the level of the Four Emperors and Generals, how powerful they are. Although Mingxiao has not personally experienced it, he has experienced the powerful oppression of the Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel, and has experienced even more powerful ones than the Flying Squirrel.

From this, it can be seen that the true strength of Doflamingo in the Shichibukai is that a strong man of that level is the one who stands at the top of this era.

Maybe... the world's best swordsman, Hawkeye, only needs one sword to defeat his current self.

"A real strong man..." Brat was stunned for a moment, then asked in surprise: "Is he like Doflamingo, Shichibukai?"

"No, he is a stronger person than him."

Just how strong Mingxiao is can't be accurately expressed in words, and Brat can't understand the word "strong" now, but he knows that this level is not something ordinary people can achieve.

Looking at Bratt's slightly disappointed expression, Dawn understood why he was disappointed, so he smiled and said: "Don't sigh, maybe we will reach that level in the future."

"Really?" Bratt opened his eyes wide.

Dawn laughed loudly and picked up the tiger head hat that had been put aside and put it on his head: "Of course it is true. Believe in yourself. One day we will become stronger. Let's make these three words "stronger"

, becomes a belief.”

Bratt nodded thoughtfully.

Faith is very important, and faith cannot be achieved by just talking. It is not only a manifestation of a strong will, but also a mental state that needs to be formed through years of hard work and continuous hard work, or a certain kind of

Extreme paranoia.

"Don't think about it, you can't understand it now." Mingxiao interrupted Bratt with a smile. If you haven't experienced this kind of thing, it's hard to have a real idea.

Regarding this point, it confirms what Ming Xiao has always thought in his heart. Only by fighting with people stronger than himself will his strength improve faster. If he just practices mindlessly, he will never become a strong person.

His strength also improved rapidly due to the battle with Aubrey and Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel, and he also further improved his strength through the pressure of Doflamingo's powerful momentum.

"Go show me the design drawings of the clock tower." Mingxiao said, thinking of what Brat had said before about the design drawings of the clock tower.

The construction of the clock tower was specially entrusted by Mingxiao, and Brat was mainly responsible for this matter. The clock tower matter is related to the future reconstruction structure of the city defense town, especially the port. In the future, it will not only be a magnificent scenery for people to visit, but also protect the entire city.

The core weapon of the city defense town.

Because the external clock towers can resonate with his clock fruit and can use part of the clock fruit's abilities, as the clock fruit continues to develop and even reaches the point of awakening over time, these clock towers can bring him unexpected gains.

"In the workshop." Brat put the weapon back in the training room, then walked over and said.

The workshop is a special department specially established after Mingxiao became the Duke, specifically for the construction of various buildings, research and development of tools, and weapons. It is called the workshop. It currently mainly includes construction, brewing, and weapon research and development (muskets, artillery, and swords).

, several types of farm implement modifications.

The workshop was not built in the royal city, but in a dilapidated village near Yeku Town, bordering the Maple Leaf Kingdom.

After a while, Mingxiao and Bulat brought people to the workshop. The workshop is an eight-story building, and each floor is responsible for different projects. Mingxiao first inspected the brewing R&D room, the musket R&D room, and the sword R&D room.

The laboratory, the artillery research and development laboratory, and the agricultural tool modification laboratory are all initially established, and the relevant talents are not yet fully equipped. They are just carrying out preliminary work under the existing people.

These are not things that can be accomplished overnight, they require time and patience to be gradually improved.

After the inspection, Mingxiao and Bulat came to the construction room, where seven or eight workers were already busy. When they saw Mingxiao and Bulat coming with soldiers, the leader quickly ran over and said, "

See Lord Duke, see Lord Bratt."

"Well, get up, have you finished the clock tower design?" Brat said. Dawn looked around in the huge construction room. The current main work of this construction room is the expansion of the brewery factory in Chengfang Town and the construction of the clock tower.

.

"We have already done."

Then the leading worker led Ming Xiao and the two towards the independent drawing room on the other side. Inside, two men in their thirties were drawing lines on paper with pens. At least judging from the design drawings, the drawing techniques were pretty good.

good.

Just a simple tall tower, plus a series of designs such as tower surface distribution, structure, pattern, area, etc., took dozens of drawings.

The specifications of the clock towers on the drawings were all different, so Mingxiao took a simple floor plan and looked at it.
