The Pirate Garen

"Qiwuhai under the king?"

Galen's first reaction when he heard this sentence was: "But I'm not a pirate!"

"kindness"

Garp in the microphone was silent for a while, before replying after a while:

"Actually, Qiwuhai under the king is not a pirate at all."

This is true:

Shichibukai under the king is Shichibukai under the king. From an official point of view, it should be regarded as a partner of the world government.

It just so happens that the members of the Qibuhai are basically pirates, so in the eyes of the navy and ordinary people, the word "Qiwuhai" is no different from the vicious big pirate, but in the eyes of the pirates, Qiwuhai is a betrayal of class lackeys of the world government.

All in all, Qiwuhai's reputation is not good.

And Garp didn't explain a few words, and then said to Galen:

"Boy, if you don't want to be Qiwuhai, then you shouldn't be."

"Anyway, you're not a pirate, and that Sengoku guy can't do anything about you! Haha."

"Warring States."

Hearing this name, Galen's scalp tingled.

I don't know if Garp did it intentionally or unintentionally, Galen immediately understood that his grown pig had been targeted by a high-level figure like the admiral of the navy.

"Senior Garp!"

Galen hesitated for only two seconds before saying righteously:

"I'm the Qiwuhai!"

"In the future, I will firmly support the rule of the world government and maintain it."

"What the hell are you talking about!"

Garp scolded angrily, and opened his mouth to say something sorry for his position as a vice admiral: "What is there to maintain about the garbage of the world government?"

"Cough cough."

Galen, who had been too involved in the drama, realized that he was not being interviewed by a reporter, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed: "Sorry, I messed up words."

Garp didn't care about this little episode, but took the trouble to explain to Galen the entry process of Shichibukai:

"Since you agree to be the Qibuhai, the Navy Headquarters will immediately send a lieutenant general to confirm your wishes in person and sign a formal Qiwuhai treaty with you."

"After signing this treaty, you will be an official member of Qiwuhai."

"OK."

Galen nodded readily.

Fortunately, he just needed to receive a vice admiral, and he didn't make it difficult for him to run to the Navy headquarters alone for an induction ceremony.

"boy"

After a moment of silence, Garp suddenly said without thinking:

"In the past few months, the number of pirates entering the great waterway in the East China Sea has dropped sharply. The pirates that Smoker packed and sent back to the naval prison can't fit in several warships. This is something I have never seen in the navy for most of my life. .”

"Warring States and I both appreciate what you did in the East China Sea!"

"."

Galen's scalp felt numb again, and his back felt cold:

It’s fine if Karp appreciates him, but the admiral of the Warring States Period also “appreciates” him as a local warlord?

Although the things he did in the East China Sea were all reasonable and legal, if analyzed from another angle, they were all treasonous acts of poaching the corners of the world government.

But Galen was indeed too worried.

Because there are as many strong men in this world who are openly holding the flag and fighting against the world government, as there are stars in the sky, how can the Warring States have the strength to control Galen, a friend of the East China Sea Navy who at least knows how to hide?

Comparing it with other members of the Seven Martial Sea, Galen's behavior is indeed no different from that of a "law-abiding citizen". Naturally, the world government will not push such an emerging powerhouse who can be recruited as a helper to the pirates.

"Senior Garp?"

Galen asked cautiously into the microphone:

"what do you mean"

"Let me restrain myself a little later?"

"Convergence? Hahahaha"

But Garp's belly laugh came from the microphone.

After the laughter finally stopped, the naval hero who had never been in shape became really serious:

"Your behavior suits me, so I help you and teach you, just to let you go further."

"When you are as weak as Dong Hai, I will teach you to restrain yourself."

"But now your growth rate has exceeded my expectations, so what I want to tell you is:"

"After you become Qiwuhai, don't degenerate like those scumbags that you and I look down upon!"

"Give me your justice!"

Galen gripped the microphone tightly, his heart was touched by it.

He now knows how Cap, a naval hero, brought out a family of criminals

"It will surely live up to your expectations."

Galen stood up straight unconsciously, and made his promise to Garp just like when they parted in Donghai.

Karp responded with a smile, and hung up the phone.

Galen gently put the microphone back, but his expression was still a little deep:

Whether the knight of justice he played was real or not, he himself couldn't tell the difference.

The first thing the newly appointed lord did was to hand over all the work to the secretary, Ms. Robin.

Originally, Princess Weiwei was also an effective secretary under Galen, but now that she has recovered her honorable status as a princess, it is naturally not easy to condescend to work for Galen.

Of course, Nami's sullen eyes may also be one of the reasons for her temporary retreat.

However, during the time of Crocodile, Robin was in charge of managing the various affairs of the rainland, so she was quite handy in this job.

And the only territorial political affairs that Galen participated in was the establishment of the Rainland Floating Technology Research Institute.

This institute is not simple:

It is the most cutting-edge aerostat research institution in Alabasta, and it is also a key scientific and technological support project of the rainy region government, with abundant funds, advanced concepts, and technological innovation.

There is one director, one researcher, one guard and one security guard.

Well, their names are Kentucky.

On this day, the chairman of Debon Logistics, the lord of Yudi, and Lord Shichibukai Galen, who has not yet officially taken office, personally inspected the Yudi Floating Technology Research Institute.

Galen affirmed the scientific research spirit and academic attitude of the director of Kentucky, and delivered an important speech on the topic of aerostat research:

"I gave you so much time and so much money!"

"You just made such a ball thing?"

Galen pointed to several helium balloons floating in the laboratory, pointed at Kentucky's nose angrily, and taught, "How much effort will it take to mass-produce an airship?"

People under the eaves had to bow their heads.

Facing Galen's completely layman leader, Kentucky had no choice but to defend weakly in a low voice:

"This gas is easy to make."

"But there is still a long way to go from laboratory preparation to industrial production."

Galen didn't give him a chance to breathe, but asked, "How long?"

"No, I don't know."

Kentucky's eyes wandered, and he replied with a guilty conscience: "Here, I am doing research alone."

"well"

Galen let out a long sigh, and commented very shamelessly: "Sure enough, he is only a second-rate scientist!"

The first-class scientists in another world are those who can take care of all disciplines and all jobs by themselves, just like Iron Man who is trapped in a terrorist lair and can make a battle suit in a handicraft workshop.

And in this pirate world, someone has already produced mature floating equipment.

Although he didn't know the reason, Galen knew that people in this world could even float all the way from the earth to the moon with balloons.

Hearing Galen's words, Kentucky just blushed and retorted with some resentment:

"This is not my profession!"

"I study biochemistry, biochemistry"

"Biochemistry?"

Galen angrily pulled out a bunch of words that he only knew by name:

"Then can you genetically modify? Can you clone? Do you know what a gene lock is?"

"What is a gene lock?"

Kentucky was dumbfounded.

"Cough cough."

Galen felt a little slip of the tongue, but pretended to be cold and said:

"This gene lock is not an academic field that you can set foot in."

Kentucky, on the other hand, recalled Galen's previous words, and tentatively said:

"Master Galen, do you also know about cloning technology?"

"This is a secret that is absolutely unknown to outsiders in the sea."

Galen's eyes widened immediately, and he asked, "You will?"

Kentucky looked away for a while, but said nothing.

In the end he just said, "No."

"well"

Galen sighed lightly, and had to say with some disappointment: "Then you should study the industrial production method of helium well!"

With that said, Galen turned around and was about to leave.

But Kentucky stopped him immediately:

"Master Galen!"

"Although the production of helium is low now, saving more can still produce enough for an empty ship."

"oh?"

Galen's eyes brightened:

"In other words, I can use this to build myself a flagship?"

With a flagship that can float in the air, Galen can freely travel between the Great Channel and the old nest in the East China Sea, which can be said to be extremely convenient.

Moreover, although there are quite a few moonwalkers in this world, those strong enough to step on the moonwalk all the way to an altitude of several thousand meters are all rare creatures, and the safety of using an airship as a flagship can be regarded as a certain guarantee.

If the flagship is painted with a shark head and equipped with high-explosive bucky bombs, it will be able to enjoy the thrill of a Kirov airship above a thousand meters above the sky.

"this."

Kentucky's face showed embarrassment again: "Helium is enough, but the aerostat you envisioned, my lord, is not as simple as just being able to float."

"Lightning protection, wind resistance, load bearing, sun protection, explosion protection."

"Pods, airbags, engines, propeller fans."

"All of these require professional design. I can't do these things as a chemist. You should seek professional help."

"professional?"

Galen's excitement dimmed immediately, and he couldn't help muttering to himself:

"Where should I go to find such a black technology talent?"
