The Paladin of All Realms Begins as a Pirate
Chapter 40 Sky Noble
In the city of water, Tom's Shipbuilding Studio on the west coast, Roy came here alone, and Plank was responsible for finding a place to stay and buying some supplies.
"May the Holy Light be with you!"
As soon as Roy arrived here, he saw an extremely tall murloc with horny skin carrying a pair of logs and placing them next to a ship under construction. The ship seemed to be almost completed. status.
"You're really strong." Roy looked at the back of the fishman and commented. The fishman has extraordinary physical fitness, but the amount of wood he just moved is not something that ordinary fishmen can bear.
"The best shipwright on the island, Tom, may the Holy Light be with you!"
Hearing the sound from behind, Tom, who was wearing blue short-sleeved shirts, turned around and saw a black-haired human boy wearing a long white windbreaker with a cross on his chest. He didn't know when he had appeared behind him.
"Hello, young man, what do you want from me? Do you want to build a ship?" In just a moment, Tom realized that the other party was not an ordinary person. If he became a pirate, he could get away with it just by relying on this strange whereabouts. With a bounty of more than 20 million beli, it is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to approach him so close and silently.
"Dear Tom Boatman, are you interested in building a unique boat?" Roy asked with interest.
"What ship?" Tom's interest was aroused.
"Steel ship!" Roy's mouth raised.
"Steel ship?" Tom touched his mustache. The ship is made of wood. In this way, damage can be easily handled and repaired. The idea of using steel to build ships has been thought of by someone a long time ago. But no.
In addition to the difficult repair work, the more important point is that the sail cannot be carried and is too heavy.
All ships in this world use sails as their main power. Even the so-called propeller of the Straw Hat Crew's "Sunny" in the future can only be used for escape. The main power for normal navigation is still sails.
Steel is too heavy for sails to carry them, which is the main reason why no one, including the government, uses steel ships.
"Well... little brother, do you understand why no one has ever sailed a steel ship to sea from the past to the present?"
Tom seriously doubted whether the boy in front of him knew anything about boats. He actually asked himself to build such a boat. He must not be able to sail it!
Roy smiled slightly. Of course he knew that there was no steel ship launching device in this world, but that didn't mean he didn't have the method to make such a device. Of course, Roy's method was definitely not the so-called "steam engine" in his previous life, but the system gave him A drawing of - "Sky Noble".
As long as Tom builds it according to the drawings, the power will be fueled by the "Magic Brake Stone" provided by the system for free.
After giving this drawing to Tom, Tom frowned and was slightly surprised. This was the first time he had seen such a drawing of a large steel ship, and he had never seen such a power device before.
This power plant? Does it really work? Tom had a twinge of doubt.
It just so happened that there hadn't been any big business recently, and I wanted to see what could make a steel ship without sails sail, so I took this business.
"My little brother's name is..."
"Tirion D. Roy!"
Tom nodded: "I understand, Roy, according to your idea, you can build a steel ship. Because it is made of steel, the money and time used cannot be calculated according to the market price!"
"Make an offer!"
"Three hundred million Baileys, completed in one month!" In order not to make Roy feel too much, Tom added three words at the end: "Price close to the people!" In fact, he didn't raise the price. He used a large number of high-quality steel plates to replace firewood, plus manpower. , 300 million Baileys is really very close to the people, mainly because he is also very interested in it, and wants to know what a steel ship without sails relies on to power it.
"Only 300 million?" Roy was quite surprised. He remembered the size of Luffy's ship and it seemed to be no less than 300 million. He didn't expect that the unique steel ship he built was not as good as theirs.
Only 300 million...
Tom and several crew members behind him were stunned. Could it be that this guy was a rich man and 300 million was just a joke to him?
Suddenly, Tom and others saw Roy taking out three boxes from nowhere and placing them on the ground.
Roy opened the box, and Tom and others were shocked. There was a box full of gold coins, and two boxes of silver coins.
Roy asked: "I wonder how much these are worth!"
"Huh?" Tom waved his hand to summon two fishmen and began to count the gold and silver.
The fishman in charge of the inventory said: "This place is worth about 150 million beli, which is definitely enough as a deposit, but now we..."
Although Roy had killed many pirates before and exchanged a lot of money, Roy and the others also spent a lot along the way.
Planck once calculated that the two of them spent more than 130 million Baileys on the way. For this reason, Planck complained a lot. Every time Roy went to a city, he enjoyed all kinds of pleasures, including wine and massages. The food and the food are all there, which is why the money is spent so quickly.
"Anxin, I know your rules here." Roy pointed to a sign that said "Full Payment Only" and scratched his head: "Gather up the remaining money right away!"
"No...even if you say so, there are still 150 million beli left..." the fishman stammered.
"Are there any pirates on this island with a bounty of more than 150 million beli?" Roy suddenly asked.
"You, do you want to..." Everyone was shocked and already understood what method Roy wanted to use to make money.
"We are shipwrights and don't know much about pirates." Tom blinked his small eyes that were completely inconsistent with his body shape and advised: "Don't mess around, little brother, one hundred and fifty million Wan Baili has a very high bounty, and it will take at least a month to build such a ship. I don’t ask you to pay it all at once, just slowly kill some weak pirates and slowly accumulate it!"
Although Roy has killed many big pirates, his fame has not completely reached the ears of people like Tom who do not pay attention to pirate news.
"Oh? This is Tom's Shipbuilding Studio. We are going to build a ship, boss!"
Roy was just about to thank Tom for his care and concern when he heard a man shouting in the distance. Everyone turned around and saw a dozen men rushing over. The one who was shouting just now was a man. A red-haired boy with a straw hat on his head.
The others all had extraordinary bearings, especially the man in the middle with a curvy black beard and big white teeth, which gave Roy an "not simple" idea.
Moreover, these people looked very familiar.
"Stop making noise, you brat!"
Reilly, who was still blond and very young, came out and said, "Sorry, we would like to invite you to build a ship to continue our sailing journey. We need a large ship that can accommodate about fifty people!"
The future Pirate King's deputy, this kind of work is usually performed by Rayleigh.
