Taoist priest, who is so popular in One Piece

The technology tree in the world of One Piece always gives people a feeling that it is crooked.

Although they already have the technology to transform humans, they are still using a relatively primitive means of navigation, such as a sailboat.

This has always been a point that Bai Ye was quite confused about when watching anime.

But after so many adventures, Bai Ye seemed to understand something.

Just like Tom was able to build the Sea Train, a navigation tool that can be described in an irrational way.

There is no reason for the world government to build ships and other means of navigation.

Well, excluding the possibility that the people in the World Government are all fools, the answer seems to be obvious.

[It’s not that it can’t be made, but that it cannot be made].

Bai Ye also has his own understanding of this.

The first is about the huge kingdom that has been destroyed.

Based on the existing intelligence, it can be concluded that the World Government seems to be very afraid of the revival of ancient weapons.

One of the ancient weapons, the battleship Pluto, is obviously a higher-level ship.

The ban on the development of the shipbuilding industry seems to be in line with the above practice.

Don’t think that the world government is just doing this for show.

In the original work, when Spandam submitted a proposal regarding the design of Pluto to the Five Elders, he said:

[The Great Pirate Era that the world is talking about has already begun for more than ten years. 】

【Over the years, the number of pirates has increased day by day. 】

[It is no longer appropriate to negatively claim that we should prevent the creation of ancient weapons.]

[We who uphold justice must possess such powerful weapons! ]

Facing the five rulers standing at the top of the world, Spandam shouted seriously:

[We want to possess ancient weapons and use them to end the Great Pirate Era! ! ! ]

Regardless of whether Spandam really thinks so, what he said does make sense.

As the only ruling government on the sea, facing the endless stream of criminals, having ancient weapons in hand is definitely the best choice.

But the attitude of the Five Elders is somewhat intriguing.

They simply put Spandam, the "idiot," in charge and said, "Get the blueprints first, and we'll figure it out later."

This doesn't make sense.

There are two reasons for this situation.

The first is that the World Government possesses a military force more powerful than ancient weapons.

But this is obviously inconsistent with the previous practices of the World Government. Even if the World Government has Uranus, he is only at the same level as Pluto.

The second reason is that the World Government has never wanted to restart ancient weapons.

Simply put, for the world government, between the two choices of abandoning ancient weapons forever in history and taking control of ancient weapons in their own hands, the former is what they would like to see more.

This is also Bai Ye's speculation, but he cannot justify it.

However, at the mouth of the iceberg, Bai Ye seemed to have found the answer.

-

"It is impossible to upgrade the existing ships 100% with current shipbuilding technology."

Bingshan sat in his office chair and spoke slowly.

That's right, he finally chose to tell the whole story.

As for the reason, Bingberg is not clear.

Perhaps it was because of the Straw Hat Pirates' previous behavior that made him feel favorable towards them.

Or maybe I have kept the secret for too long.

“Most of the ships today are constructed with the keel as the core structure.”

"At the same time, the keel also restricts all possibilities of this ship."

"This is what shipbuilders often say: "Replacing the keel is equivalent to building a new ship."

"But the shipbuilders who were able to build Pluto, or your master Tom, should have such skills."

Seeing that Bingshan was about to continue his long speech, Bai Ye decisively chose to interrupt him.

After all, if he continued talking, Luffy would definitely fall asleep.

"Ah, sorry."

After Bingshan made a brief statement, he finally got to the point:

"That's right. Although I haven't seen Pluto in person, I have seen the design drawings of Pluto in person."

"I can be sure that there is such technology up there."

"Like you said, Master Tom also knows this technique."

"That is the technique that Master named as modular assembly."

"pity..."

Having said that, Bingshan's face showed a painful expression, but Bai Ye nodded, confirming his guess.

The World Government does not want Pluto to be resurrected, perhaps because it really affects the World Government's rule.

However, Pluto's power may not be the biggest reason why the World Government is afraid of him.

You can find this out by referring to Aquaman.

Then, perhaps Pluto’s greater threat to the world government is the technology contained within it.

In connection with the previous assumptions, it can be judged that once the shipbuilding technology contained in Pluto is fully released, it will bring about tremendous changes to today's oceans.

even--

Completely change the current state of the ocean.

Simply imagine that the sea train made by Tom is already an innovation.

If you use an ordinary sailboat, under good weather conditions, it will take at least a week to travel back and forth between the two nearby islands.

But taking the sea train, it only takes an hour.

At this time, the several islands connected by the sea train formed a whole.

If this situation is magnified infinitely across the entire ocean, it will be somewhat disadvantageous for the world government.

As the islands become increasingly connected, the role of the world government will be infinitely reduced.

After all, the reason why the world government today can take care of so many member states is because of its more advanced warships and technology for passing through the doldrums.

That's why we want Pluto to disappear into history so much.

But unfortunately, not to mention the impact that the emergence of Pluto can have on the world government, the modular assembly technology mentioned by Bingshan alone is enough to make Bai Ye a sure winner.

Before, Bai Ye could confidently guarantee that he could solve the problem of replacing the keel.

The main purpose is to prepare to use his own refining method to melt the new dragon bones and old dragon bones.

But after Grandma Kokoro told him that she had such skills, Bai Ye naturally accepted it with pleasure.

Now there is only one problem left.

"Uncle, do you have that skill? Can you help us upgrade the Merry?"

After accurately grasping the key points, Luffy asked anxiously.

"I'm sorry, I don't have this technique."

"Before Master Tom died, he gave me the design of Pluto, but I always regarded it as the culprit that killed Master, so I just glanced at it and never studied it again."

"As for Franky, he may have done more in-depth research than me, but... it's still not enough."
