One Piece: My Spirit

Not long after, the sea train finally arrived at the blue station in the city of water. After getting off the station, Kerla was already a little worried about the safety of the frog.

Kuina also understood that this was Kerla's kind character, and she was really worried about the frog, and this was why Kerla was so popular in the Revolutionary Army. It was also because of Kerla's character that it was so easy to establish such a friendly relationship with Kuina.

"Kerla, you don't have to worry too much. Granny Ke Keluo and Timni at Shift Station should take care of it, and it will be fine. Isn't it the way it has been for so many years?"

Kerla felt a little relieved after hearing Kuina's comfort. As for Granny Kokoro and Timni at Shift Station, Kerla and Kuina also got to know each other through this 'yokozuna' frog crashing into a train.

However, Kuina found that it was the right choice to bring Kerla to Water City this time, because Kuina is not good at dealing with people, or the surface always gives people a cold feeling, which is easy to make people feel intimidated.

On the contrary, Kerla is the complete opposite of Guina. Kerla's warm, gentle, and kind character makes people get close unconsciously.

It is also for this reason that Kerla became acquainted with Granny Ke Keluo and Timney, and a lot of information about Water City, Sea Train, and Carrera Company was also learned from them.

After Kuina and Kerla returned to the residence, they began to sort out the information collected during this time. After about an hour, after everything was sorted out, Kuina also smiled at Kerla:
"Thank you Kerla, it seems that it is time to have a good talk with President Bingshan of Carrera Company."

Three days later, in Carrera's headquarters building, Guina and Kerla came to a guest room and waited for a later meeting. Because Bingshan's daily schedule was too busy, they could only wait for three days before they had the opportunity to meet.

At this time, the door of the VIP room opened, and it was Bingshan's female secretary, Kalifa. At this time, Kalifa was wearing a yellow top with a black skirt, and a pair of black mesh stockings with a pair of knee-high boots.

Khalifa habitually pushed down her glasses after entering the door, nodded to Kuina and Kerla, and then led them to Bingshan's office.

After entering Bingshan's office, a man wearing a red striped suit shirt was sitting on the desk frowning and looking at a document. He didn't seem to notice that Khalifa brought Kuina and Kerla in.

When Kalifa came to Bingshan’s side, the other party still didn’t seem to notice it. Bingshan didn’t notice Kalifa until Kalifa coughed a few times. Just when he was about to speak, he saw that Kalifa looked cold and ready to get angry. Immediately, Bingshan shuddered uncontrollably, and then quickly apologized and reflected.

Seeing this, Khalifa pushed down his glasses and didn't say anything, but retreated behind Bingshan and stood quietly, and Bingshan also looked at Kuina and Kerla at this time.

Bingshan also vaguely remembers Guina and Kerla in front of him, because when they first came to see him, they had a letter of recommendation from Granny Ke Keluo, so they still had a certain impression on Bingshan. At the same time, the other party seemed to be a caravan from a small country, but caravans composed of only two women were really rare.

Kuina first talked with Bingshan about ordering ship parts, and then halfway through the conversation about prices, Kuina suddenly stopped and looked at Secretary Kalifa behind Bingshan.

And Khalifa seemed to understand what Kuina meant, so she offered to change cups of coffee for everyone and left the office.

This kind of thing seems to be not uncommon for Bingshan and Kalifa. From time to time, there will be situations where you don’t want outsiders to be present when discussing business or money prices. Therefore, as a secretary, Kalifa also knows the way.

Then there were only Kuina, Kerla and Bingshan in the office, and Kuina finally revealed her identity and purpose at this time.

Bingshan also frowned and looked at the opposite Guina. Bingshan did not expect that the other party came from all over the world, and specially traveled from the East China Sea to the water capital of the great waterway, and the purpose was extremely strange, because the other party was actually for the sea train? !
To be honest, Bingshan has met various people to discuss business over the years, but most of them are related to shipbuilding, repair, customization, etc. Although the sea train belongs to Carrera, there are basically no people interested in it.

Even if someone is interested, they will be disappointed or give up after understanding it. The reason is very simple and realistic.

"With all due respect, sea trains are actually a very special product of the city of water, and it is basically very difficult to achieve mass production and put them into use in other places."

Bingshan briefly talked about the difficulties in manufacturing the sea train. The technology has not yet reached full maturity. You must know that the sea train "Smoking Tom" in service today was manufactured in 11 years, and so far there is only one such train!
Moreover, the sea train in the Water City is specially built according to the geographical location and climate of the four islands of Water City, San Pobla, Pukki, and Sanfarud.

Another more important factor is the issue of materials and power. Because sea trains are different from traditional ships, they need not only wood, but also a large amount of metal and fuel for power sources. This will require high costs for manufacturing sea trains, future operation, and maintenance. Sometimes it is like a bottomless pit of money that is constantly burning money, and it is difficult to achieve profitability.

Apart from historical reasons, the reason why there is only one sea train in the capital of water is the cost issue!

It is precisely for the above reasons that there are so few people interested in sea trains, so only water capitals in the world have sea trains.

Regarding these issues that Bingshan said, Kuina also understood the difficulties early on, but it is not that Kuina has not thought about this issue.

Bingshan is not afraid of leaking the technology of sea trains, but that even if others learn it, it will be difficult to realize it, because the restrictions are too great.

I thought that the other party would retreat after hearing the difficulties, but Bingshan found that the girl opposite did not seem to have much disappointment on her face.

And Kuina looked at Bingshan and nodded and said: "It is true that these problems are difficult for many people to solve, but I think it is not too late for Mr. Bingshan to listen to my opinion before making a decision."
