I really don't want to be the pirate king

(Chapter 172 was posted in the morning, but it was reviewed and failed. It was said to involve pornography and vulgarity, but it was not. So I deleted six to seven hundred words and applied again to lift the ban. It has not been approved yet. No more waiting, just send Chapter 2 .)

The City of Seven Waters, a world-famous floating city, makes its living from the shipbuilding industry.

However, due to the huge tsunami called "Acha Lakna" that occurs every year and the raging pirates, the city cannot communicate with other cities. The shipbuilding industry is in decline and people are panicked. They begin to worry that the island will be submerged by the sea. Many residents have begun venturing to other islands.

Until a year ago, the fishman Tom, the general manager of Tom's Shipbuilding Company, spent ten years building a water train that was opened to connect other islands and continuously transport supplies.

Thanks to the water train, the shipbuilding industry in the Water City began to recover, but it was still not enough. There was only one route, which resulted in rare materials being available. Whether it was firewood or iron ore, the prices were very high.

The cost of shipbuilding is relatively high, which makes the selling price too high. No one is willing to place an order, and the shipbuilding industry cannot be restored.

Although Tom is designing and building three other routes to ensure more sources of materials, it will take several years to build them and they will have to endure a period of hardship.

But recently, a big order appeared.

The Marquis Shipyard in Dock No. [-] almost closed down last year, but it survived because of the emergence of the sea train. It can now afford to pay its employees, but it is too difficult to make big money.

At this time, Marquis, the president of the shipyard, looked at the man sitting on the sofa in front of him, cold sweat sliding down his temples.

The man who appeared in front of him was called Lafitte, the number three figure in the Conqueror Pirates, with a bounty of 8000 million Baileys.

Although he is the only one, the captain Aaron who dares to fight the navy with a bounty of [-] million is a big pirate with a bounty of [-] million!

What is he doing here?

Before the question was asked, Lafitte had already said the answer, "We want to ask you to build a warship."

"Battleship?"

When Marquis heard this word, he exhaled and said: "My Marquis Studio is the second-ranked shipyard in the entire Seven Waters City. It has built warships for many pirates. You have no problem with me." .”

"It is precisely because we know this that we came to you."

Lafitte opened the box, which contained stacks of drawings, and handed them to the other party, "These are the drawings we prepared, but they are not detailed and need your supplements."

"let me see."

Marquis took the box and picked up the first drawing, "This is the deck design specification drawing? 60 meters in length? Is this too long? This is..."

"Why, you can't build it?" Lafitte raised his eyebrows.

"It would have been okay ten years ago."

Marquis shook his head and said: "With the manpower of our shipyard, 30 meters and 40 meters is no problem, but it is difficult to complete such a large specification."

"Then unite with other shipyards."

Lafitte said: "You are not the only shipyard in the Capital of Seven Waters. How about finding a few more shipyards to build this ship together?"

"That's a good idea."

Marquez's eyes lit up and he said: "Because the price of raw materials is too high, many shipyards are still unable to resume construction. There are a large number of idle craftsmen. We can indeed invite them to build together, not to mention 60-meter, or 70-meter warships. We Shipyards can also be built.”

"So Mr. Marquis agreed?" Lafitte asked with a smile.

"I can make the decision and take over."

Marquis said distressedly: "But you also know that the cost of raw materials is too high, and most of the craftsmen can't even afford to eat. If they don't see the money, they won't follow us."

"money is not a problem."

Lafitte smiled and said: "We are willing to pay a sum of money in advance for you to purchase raw materials and recruit craftsmen. You can tell us the total price and required deposit."

“The total price needs to be evaluated before we can know it.”

Marquis looked at the drawings and said: "But for such a large ship to meet the requirements on the drawings, it will cost at least 20 billion beli. If precious materials are used, the price will be even higher."

“We need to weather the storms of the new world.”

"It can also withstand a certain amount of gravity," Lafitte said.

"A new world?"

Marquis thought for a while and said: "The sea conditions there are dangerous, the wind is strong, and the waves can even reach [-] meters. If you want to travel through that sea area, the material of the keel must not be wasted. I propose to use Baoshu 'Adam' to make it." keel."

"I've heard of it."

Lafitte nodded and asked, "How much will it cost?"

"I don't know. The wood of Baoshu Adam is very rare. Only a small amount comes out at auctions, and the longer it gets, the more expensive it becomes."

Marquez said: "The length of 30 meters is only 60 million beli, but for a [-]-meter warship, a keel will cost about [-] million beli, so the total price will be much higher."

"Then use the wood of the precious tree Adam."

"Everything is made with the best materials, and money is no object," Lafitte said.

"no problem."

Marquez rubbed his hands and said, "We will use the best craftsmanship."

"But I have one condition."

Lafitte stared at him and said: "Don't reveal our identity, at least until it is completed, don't let others know that we ordered the ship."

"This is simple. I can disguise it as a warship ordered by other countries."

Marquis said with a smile: "As long as you can get the money, no one will pursue so much."

"Well."

Lafitte nodded and said: "I will stay here for a few days, give me the estimated price, and I will bring it to our boss."

"it is good."

Marquis immediately convened people to evaluate the drawings and spent three days to come up with a price.

"25 million Baileys."

Beside the remote island, the Charge parked quietly there. After Aaron got the price from Lafitte, he was silent for a while and said: "If the Adam tree is really used to make the keel, the price is not bad. suitable."

"They said they still need half of the deposit."

Lafitte said: "At least 12 billion Baileys in cash."

"You can give it to them. No one dares to defraud us of our money anyway."

Aaron said, "How long will it take to build?"

"Marquis said there was no guarantee. He said that the construction of the warship was not difficult. He would summon craftsmen from other shipyards and more than a hundred people to build the warship together. It would only take a month and a half at most to complete the construction."

Lafitte said: "But the transportation of raw materials is a big problem. After all, there is only one route leading to the outside. Only a small number of carriages will be allocated to the transportation of raw materials, and they do not get quotas for every trip. And different materials have to be transported from It takes a long time to prepare materials for transportation to different islands.”

After a pause, Lafitte continued: "If we don't use the treasure tree Adam as the keel, it can be built in three months at most. But if we decide to use it, then the wood will not be available for one day, and the warship will not be able to start construction in one day. If it is built like this It could be anywhere from half a year to a year.”

"We are going to the New World and going to war with the Four Emperors, so the keel of the treasure tree 'Adam' is the best. Only it can support the fierce battle."

Aaron thought for a moment and said, "We have plenty of time, let him prepare slowly."

Even if they get the warship, they will not be able to go to the new world due to their strength. Now that they have the opportunity to get a better warship, it is worth waiting!

And before that, they have one more thing to do!
