American Man Trading Master

"Don't say that, I mean, just because I don't have it now, doesn't it mean I won't have it in the future?"

Looking at Bucky's funny face, Joey was speechless for a moment.

Bucky continued to rub his hands together.

"Joy, this is what I think. You first get me some heavy weapons, preferably ones that can hit the target dozens of miles away. Then I will rely on them to dominate the sea and become the new king of the sea. In this way, I will have huge power, and it will be easier to find the Devil Fruit you want."

Joey rubbed his chin, feeling the prickly feeling caused by the newly grown beard.

"I said Bucky, aren't you a funny character? Why are you so smart all of a sudden?"

"Asshole! You are the funny character, and your whole family is the funny character!"

Bucky roared like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and it took him a long time to calm down.

"Okay, this is what I mean, and don't forget our initial transaction, but I paid the full amount first, and you paid me in installments. Now it's your turn to pay the full amount first!"

"Yes, it's true what you said."

Joey thought of the original Haki training manual. Bucky had indeed traded it without saying a word, and it was also the training method of Roger the Pirate King. To be honest, Joey had taken a big advantage in that transaction.

Moreover, it was precisely because of his domineering power that he was able to defeat the Electro without any injuries. Otherwise, Joey would have been seriously injured in the battle with the Electro!

"Looking at it this way, Bucky indirectly saved my life. And even if we don't mention this matter, helping Bucky build up his power first will indeed help him find Devil Fruits better."

Joey recalled that the reason why Bucky became a Shichibukai in the original work was actually due to the superposition of multiple factors.

The first is that although the Navy has increased the reward for him, it has not actually listed him as the primary pursuit target.

At that time, the primary target of the Navy's pursuit was Blackbeard. After all, this guy absorbed Whitebeard's Shock Fruit and became the only dual-fruited user on the sea.

Even if Akainu takes action, Blackbeard escapes.

And in the next period of time, Blackbeard entered the new world forcefully, quickly annexing the territory of the original Whitebeard Pirates, and even eliminated the remaining members of the Whitebeard Pirates, establishing his status as the new Yonko in one fell swoop.

After seeing the horror of Blackbeard, the Navy weighed it again and again before listing Bucky as the new Shichibukai. It was a desperate move.

In fact, the Navy didn't pay much attention to Bucky's strength. After all, there was no shortage of highly intelligent people in the Navy. They knew what Bucky was.

But things are different now. Due to the large number of modern weapons provided by Joey, the threat of the Bucky Pirates has greatly increased, and may even have reached the same level as Blackbeard in the hearts of the Navy.

After all, Blackbeard hasn't become the Yonko yet, and the weapons in Bucky's hands can arm many people. Maybe his individual combat ability is not as good as that of the Blackbeard Pirates, but it's hard to say in terms of team battles.

This can be seen from Akainu not chasing Blackbeard, but turning around to chase Bucky.

Under such circumstances, it is really uncertain whether Baki will become a Shichibukai and lead the life of a European emperor.

"Okay, what weapon do you want? I can get some retired antiques here, but if you put them over there, they will definitely be huge killers, and you won't be able to use weapons that are too advanced."

Joey took out his notebook and pulled up some videos of heavy weapons such as cannons, tanks, and armored vehicles. Bucky drooled while watching them.

Suddenly something clicked in Joey's mind, and he thought of a weapon that was most suitable for Bucky.

"Bucky, why don't I just give you a boat?"

"Ship? I have a ship now. It is a warship snatched from the navy. I don't need a ship now, only weapons!"

Bucky quickly argued, but when he saw the "boat" displayed by Joey, he instantly changed his mind.

"I want it! I want it! As long as you trade it to me, I guarantee to find the devil fruit you want. If one doesn't work, I can use two... no! Three in exchange for you!"

Joey was about to say that he was not Blackbeard, and he could only eat one of the many Devil Fruits, but he soon discovered that he could not eat them all. He could give them to his allies, or find someone to study them to see if he could get them. Artificial Devil Fruit!

After all, even in the One Piece world, there are many people who are researching artificial devil fruits, and they have already produced results. Marvel has a technological level that far exceeds the One Piece world, so there is no reason why they can't create it.

"Okay, just three. I will trade this ship to you first, and then you will use it to conquer the sea and become the emperor of the new world, and then find the devil fruit I want."

"Hey, it's a deal!"

After closing the transaction box, Joey bought a ticket to Hawaii as an ordinary person, very low-key.

Pearl Harbor is a place of great historical significance to the United States and the entire World War II.

The Pacific War started here, and it is not an exaggeration to say that this place changed the direction of World War II.

Today's Pearl Harbor, in addition to being a coastal city, also has a special naval museum. It is special because this museum is a real battleship, and it is the kind that has left a huge reputation in history. It’s the living fossil of the U.S. Navy, the USS Missouri!

The USS Missouri was built in 1944 and was the fourth Iowa-class battleship of the United States at that time. It participated in the Pacific War, the Peninsula War and the Persian Gulf War.

The biggest reason why it is famous in history, in addition to participating in many naval battles, is that on September 1945, 9, the unconditional surrender signing ceremony was completed on the deck of the Missouri.

This is of great significance to the whole of Asia. Decades later, the Missouri has been decommissioned and turned into a naval museum for tourists from all over the world to visit.

Of course, although it has been decommissioned, the Missouri will still be maintained from time to time. Once a war breaks out, it only needs a little modification and the Missouri can quickly go into battle.

In today's world, Hollywood has even made a movie about aliens invading the earth, and in the end it was the USS Missouri that turned defeat into victory.

Having said all that, Joey's purpose is already very clear. He plans to use this legendary ship of the Ugly Kingdom as a trading item to trade Devil Fruits with Bucky, and there are still three Devil Fruits. For this kind of empty glove Joey feels that the White Wolf thing is very profitable!

After Bucky saw the actual USS Missouri through the transaction box, his mouth watered.

As a former crew member of One Piece and a captain for decades, Bucky knew the ship very well.

Although in the world of One Piece, personal strength can often influence wars in many cases, this is only caused by the spread of weapons and equipment.

Of course, flintlock guns that use black powder as thrust and antique cannons that fire iron lumps cannot hurt many strong men.

But various machine guns, more powerful howitzers, and even missiles are another story.

Akainu's destructive power is said to be the strongest in the navy, but at best it can only blow up a wooden pirate ship. If it really attacks a city made of rocks, it may not be so effective.

However, large-caliber heavy artillery can completely ignore the city wall. It can be said that except for Pluto, which is said to be able to destroy an island with one shot, there is no weapon in the world of One Piece that can be compared with the main gun on the Missouri.

"Bucky, this battleship is the cornerstone for you to become the king of the sea!"
