Above the Pirate King

Chapter 5 Steam Battleship
Arthur divided the saints into twelve squads, each with one gold saint, two silvers, and four bronzes.

Arudiba is a big man with purple hair, three meters tall, with thick muscles and a simple and honest smile, but his face is a bit old. He is only 17 years old, but he looks like 30 years old.

Not from St. Martin's own country, but when the merchant ships of the Kingdom of St. Maarten were trading outside, he sneaked onto the ship, and finally came to St. Martin, and was adopted by Arthur after that!

Hearing Arthur's order, he smiled honestly and nodded.

Leilis is the thousand-man leader of the original escort regiment. He is in his thirties and has the strength of a lieutenant colonel. He has 1000 subordinates. He used to be mainly responsible for the kingdom's sea and escort missions. He has accurate marksmanship and likes to shoot.

Now he is the head of the [-]rd Regiment of the [-]rd Division of the Army's [-]st Army!
Arthur borrowed from the army establishment of his previous life to rearrange the original army.

The ranks are divided into squad, platoon, company, battalion, regiment, division, and army.

Among them, a squad has ten people, a platoon has 30 people, a company has 100 people, a battalion has 350 people, a regiment has 200 people, a division has 4000 people, and an army has about 3000 people.

It is a ternary system, and three classes are a row, which are deduced in turn.

The reason for the difference is that from the beginning of the company, there are special scouts, from the beginning of the battalion there are more artillery platoons, and from the beginning of the regiment there are more logistics troops, so there is a difference.

But because the total strength of the kingdom is only [-], the establishment of the three divisions is not complete.

"Da da!"

After hearing Arthur's order, Leilis took his subordinates, trotted a few steps, stopped in front of Arthur, and then saluted!

A normal regiment has about 200 people, but Leslie's regiment is basically composed of former escorts and crew members, with a total of more than 900 people.

Arthur's original plan was to establish a navy in the future and make them an official navy. Now they are only temporarily organized in the army. When the navy is established later, they will be the foundation.

"Okay, besides me, Bruce, you take other people in to clean up Harbor Town, and Shion, take the saints back to the palace first!" Arthur ordered.

"Yo Ho Ho, I obey your orders, Your Majesty!" Bruce leaned forward, smiled and gave a noble salute.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Aries Gold Saint Shi Ang said expressionlessly.

Shi Ang is a handsome green-haired boy with a calm and fair personality. All the saints respect him, and he is the default leader of the saints.

After a while, everyone else left.

Arthur looked at the people in front of him and shouted: "All of them, run along the harbor and river to the shipyard!"

The harbor channel is a channel extending from the harbor terminal to the shipyard, and it is an artificial channel.

It is mainly used to transport the ships made by the shipyard to the dock.

Why not craft it directly in the dock?

The reason is very simple. The dock in Haigang Town is not big, and there are usually some merchant ships parked there and the armed merchant ships of the Kingdom are already full. Once the shipyard is put on the dock, where will the ships be built?
Moreover, most of the time the ocean currents are turbulent, and there is only one month to test the boat every year, so it doesn't matter where you put it, and it can't be sailed normally anyway.

Soon, everyone came to a shipyard.

As soon as I arrived at the shipyard, I saw a puff of black smoke floating up from the shipyard from a distance.

The shipyard is guarded by a 100-strong security team.

As soon as Arthur arrived, the security team saluted.

"Your Majesty the King!"

Arthur waved his hand, indicating that there is no need to be polite, and led the people in.

"See His Majesty the King!"

As soon as they entered the shipyard, the busy crowd in the shipyard immediately stopped.

"You don't need to be too polite, get up and do your work!" Arthur said.

In the shipyard, the first thing that appeared in front of Arthur was a huge monster.

It is about 70 meters long and 16 meters wide. It has 92 cannon ports in total, and there is a big chimney on the ship, and the black smoke above the shipyard is released by it. Yes, this is a steam warship.

To be precise, it is a half-steam and half-sail warship. In addition to steam power, it also has sails as auxiliary power.

In the world of One Piece, technology is very strange. Obviously there are sea trains, robots, and other advanced technologies, and even Coke can be used as an energy source, but most of the navy and pirates are sailing ships.

So under the command of Arthur, the shipyard began to study steamships. In this world, rubber and steel already exist, so it is not difficult to study steamships.

There are more than 90 muzzles. In One Piece, it is not comparable to the creation of black technology, but it is also second to none.

Think about the Golden Meili, which has only one muzzle. Even if it is a navy, an ordinary warship only has a little more than one-third of the muzzle of this steam warship, and there are only more than 30 muzzles.

Although in anime, artillery is mostly a foil and does not hurt people at all, but in reality, powerful firepower can often determine everything.

And there are many strong people in this world who are not afraid of artillery, but there are more ordinary people. Warships are used to deal with those who are afraid of artillery.

"David, how's it going?" Arthur walked to the side of the boat and asked an old man with glasses.

David is the main person in charge of the shipyard and an excellent shipbuilder

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Kingdom Conqueror is completely ready, and it's just short of sea trials!" David pushed his glasses and said.

Arthur shook his head and said, "It's too late, since it's ready, let's go directly to the sea trial!"

"Your Majesty, there is still one month left before going to sea. If you go to sea at this time, it is likely to cause damage to this battleship!" David said with a frown.

"Don't worry, it's okay, I have a solution!" Arthur waved his hand.

David had no choice but to nod, but still begged: "Then, Your Majesty, I hope we can go on a trial voyage together!"

Arthur thought for a while, nodded and agreed, "Alright, you can also take a few boatmen up with you, and teach these soldiers how to operate the boat along the way!"

After all, this ship is going to sea for the first time, so it is best to bring a few boatmen along, so that any minor problems can be dealt with temporarily.

"Okay, Your Majesty, I'll ask them to put the Conqueror into the river and officially start the sea trial!" David called all the boatmen together.

It was a while before the conqueror was ready.

"Pfft!"

The Conquistador was completely in the water.

"Lelis, take your men aboard!" Arthur turned his head and ordered as he watched the boat go into the water.

"Your Majesty!" Lelis was a little excited. As the kingdom's perennial escort, no one knew better than him what the huge ship in front of him was.

In his opinion, as long as this ship can move, even if it is a bit slower, it will still be the overlord at sea. In a place like the West Sea where mafia and pirates are rampant, this ship is simply a deterrent ship!
"Wait, you and Arudiba come here, I have something to tell you!"

Hearing this, the two quickly approached Arthur.

After ordering some things that must be done in Blood Harbor Town, Arthur waved his hand.

"Okay, let's all get on the boat!"

"Woooooo-"

A burst of black smoke emerged from the Conqueror, and the Conqueror slowly started.

Slowly drove out of the shipyard, followed the river, and soon came to the port.

"Wait, why are there so many shipwrecks in the port? If this is the case, the conqueror will have trouble!" David said nervously.

"Haha, look at me!" Arudiba smiled boldly and stood on the bow.

Gold holy clothes dress.

Immediately, Arudiba turned into a glittering golden saint.

The corners of the mouth were slightly raised, and the arms were folded in an Iai style, roaring.

"Giant horns!"

A huge shock wave flashed past.

"呲-"

Then, the thousand-meter-long road and the seawater were instantly pushed away, leaving a gap. After a while, the seawater rushed in.

"The road has been cleared!" Arudiba said proudly with his arms green.

David and Leiris opened their eyes wide, looking in disbelief.

The soldiers standing on the deck were also dumbfounded when they saw this scene.

After a while, they came back to their senses.

"So strong!" Lelis stammered a little. He is a lieutenant colonel, and he is a bit armed and domineering. Usually, no one is his opponent in the First Army except the commander, so he has always been very confident.

However, the strength of Arudiba instantly made him realize himself. It turns out that there are so many strong people in the kingdom!

Thinking about the eleven people carrying golden boxes standing with Arudiba at that time, I was a little discouraged.

But Arudiba didn't care what he was thinking, but said to David: "If you rush out at a very fast speed, will the ship be fine?"

"En!" David came back to his senses and nodded.

Hearing this, Arudiba jumped off the boat.

Stand behind the boat, lean forward, and put your hands against the boat.

"what--"

Arudiba roared, and with all his strength, he pushed suddenly.

Immediately, the conqueror shot out like an arrow that left the string.

"boom!"

As soon as Arudiba pushed his feet hard, he jumped back to the boat in an instant.

The Conqueror sailed out to sea with black smoke
