Arkham in the pirate world

The sun was shining brightly, the sea was calm, and in the distance, birds flew by at low altitude, grabbed a sea fish, and soared into the sky.

Hulk Island.

Inside an old converted ship.

"Brother Hawke was sold last night. It wasn't you who did it, was it?" Franky asked curiously.

"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, this is the way of life of the Arkham Group. To treat our friends, we have wine, to treat our enemies, we have swords and guns!"

Liszt glanced around and saw that the inside of the ship was basically a small workshop with all kinds of tools. Franky should be completing his transformation here.

Franky looked at the drawing for a while and fell into deep thought. Liszt did not disturb him and stayed quietly.

"This device..." Franky scratched his head for a while.

"How is it? Can it be improved?"

"This looks like a steam engine furnace, right? Isn't it a coal-burning furnace?"

"Yes, a new energy source." Liszt didn't say much.

"Like Coke?"

Liszt twitched the corner of his mouth. Who knows how Franky used Coke as energy? If he hadn't found the Blue Flame Ice, he would have really wanted to try using Coke to replace coal mines and see if he could drive a steam engine. In this unscientific world, Studying science is an exhausting process.

Franky hesitated for a while, not wanting to take the job, but his hands were itchy. This is a common problem for many technical geeks. When they see new technology, they always want to try it. After a long time, he glanced at the quotation on the drawing, which was as high as two dollars. Tens of millions of Baileys, he nodded with difficulty and said: "I'll give it a try! However, I need you to provide raw materials."

"No problem, I will send someone to contact you. This is a confidentiality agreement." Lister said.

In the evening, Espagu held a private party at his home, attended by executives and foremen of Carrera Shipbuilding Company, as well as the bosses of the other five major shipbuilding companies, as well as the current mayor of the Water City and other dignitaries.

During the party, Espagu solemnly introduced Liszt and Crowe to everyone. Amidst the warm applause, Arkham Group stepped onto the stage of the Grand Line for the first time. However, who knew there was some good intention in this applause? , how malicious is it?

The forces of the Grand Line are intertwined. Let’s not talk about the New World, just talk about the paradise section. The navy, Shichibukai, and various kingdoms are all dominating one side. Pirates pour in from all over the world every year, impacting their rule. Anyone who has no ability , it is really difficult to survive in this paradise known as the "Pirate Graveyard".

As a commercial organization from the East China Sea, which is known as the "weakest sea" among the four seas, Arkham Group will definitely have some twists and turns if it wants to gain a foothold in the Great Sea Route. Therefore, its appearance this time is to make a show and establish a There won't be much action at this outpost, and the current focus is still on the East China Sea.

But this kind of expansion is necessary and necessary. The great sea route and the new world have many technologies, knowledge, and talents that are not found in the East China Sea.

What's more, it's impossible for the Arkham Group, which is located in a corner, to turn around overnight just by relying on the development of its own territory.

So, what is the solution?

In fact, there are traces to follow. That big country in another world with only a history of more than two hundred years showed Liszt a way.

Tolerant of all generations, tolerance is great!

"Do you want to go to Fish-Man Island to recruit workers?"

In the tavern, Espagu took Liszt to find the alcoholic Granny Cocoluo. She had wavy blond hair, an ugly appearance, and a fat figure. It was hard to imagine that she was once a beautiful mermaid.

Beauty is easy to grow old, and time is easy to pass!

Liszt suspected that when the mermaids came ashore, their tails turned into double strands, their appearance was ugly. Thinking about it, the beautiful mermaids who once lived at the bottom of the sea came ashore and turned into a group of ugly old women. Liszt couldn't help but shudder.

You become beautiful when you go to the sea, and you become ugly when you go ashore, a certain hint from Tian Tian!

Feeling disgusted in his heart, Liszt said with a smile: "Yes, some of the group's businesses require underwater operations. I think there is no more suitable choice in this world than the workers of Fish-Man Island. However, I heard that the Fish-Man tribe is more Exclusive, so I hope to get your help."

Granny Cocoluo glanced at Espagu.

"Liszt is not only my partner, but also a young and upright man. Like me, he has no prejudice against fish people." Espagu said.

"Not all fish people are xenophobic, young man." Granny Kokoluo took a sip of wine.

"I heard about the incident with Princess Otohime two years ago. It was really surprising. She was a great pioneer. As you said, not all fish people are xenophobic, and not all humans discriminate against fish people. We need to Understand each other. I always believe that if a race wants to win respect, it must show itself and make a voice to the world."

After getting the letter of introduction from Granny Cocoluo, Liszt gained more confidence in Fishman Island and his party.

The situation on Fish-Man Island is complicated, especially when Princess Otohime's body is still cold. Mermaids, fish-men, conservatives, radicals, and neutrals are all in a mess. Eight years later, when Luffy and his gang landed on Fish-Man Island, nothing has changed.

Therefore, it was very difficult for Lister, as a human, to talk to the Fish-Man Island without the introduction of an intermediary.

You can never tell the fish people: "Believe in me, believe in me, believe in me and you will have eternal life!"

Neuropathy!

"Polupolu..."

On a broken sailboat, a shirtless Gonsi rested with his eyes closed. The moment the phone rang, he suddenly opened his eyes, stood up from the box, and stretched out his excited and trembling hands.

"Hello, hello, are you Mr. Liszt?" Gongxi asked nervously.

The phone bug was quiet for a moment, showed a puzzled expression, and said, "Are you Gonsi? Where is Mombuli?"

"I am Gonsi. The captain and I are separated. Do you have his life sheet? Is he not dead yet?"

Liszt glanced at the shrunken life paper on the table. This thing is a special item only found in the New World. It is made by mixing one's own fingernails into the material. It is a kind of paper that represents the owner's vitality. Usually people will tear it up. Give it to relatives or friends who are about to be separated, and the torn pieces of paper will attract each other.

The paper of life is neither afraid of water nor fire. It will shrink when the owner is weak, and will return to its original size when it recovers. If it turns to ashes, it means the death of the owner.

"Still alive, but not in good condition."

Liszt paused and said, "In other words, Mombuli is not with you? What happened?"

"So, Foil Bista, the captain of the fifth division of the Whitebeard Pirates, and the villain Ufian, attacked your ship."

"Yes, yes, Bista is too strong. He cut off our ship with one sword. Fortunately, a storm blew up in the sea. I, a few crew members, and half of the ship's hull drifted to a desert island... …”

Liszt raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "So, you didn't complete the task?"
