Chapter 67 3-Party Collection
New ship plans!
Two weeks later, Lafayette still clearly remembers that Maud made a lot of excessive demands at the time.
In his view, with the current level of shipbuilding, it is difficult to meet these requirements.
Looking at the design drawing now, sure enough, most of the requirements have become empty talk.
but……
"Steam engine."
Lafayette was surprised and stared at the clearly constructed steam engine next to the hull design drawing.
His requirements for the new ship are only the following two.
One is sturdy, and the other is mobility.
Unexpectedly, Thomas Shipyard has made a steam engine.
Compared to Lafayette's surprise, Maud was a little disappointed.
Even if Edward was a seasoned and capable boatmaker, he could only meet a small part of his demands.
A boatman like Franky is a special case after all.
Maud actually wanted to go and find Franky, but he wasn't Luffy.
There is neither background nor protagonist halo.
If you rashly contact Hades, you might not know how he died.
Although a little disappointed, the blueprint given by Edward is not bad.
After all, Edward is also a senior shipbuilder who designed the Moby Dick for the Whitebeard Pirates. The drawings he carefully designed are not absolutely perfect, but they are also comprehensive.
"Lafayette, Sister Ya, what do you think?"
Maud felt that this design was perfect enough, but he also wanted to hear the opinions of his companions.
Jia Ya squinted and smiled and said, "It's good."
She only cares about the size of the kitchen, and this design has already met her needs.
"Hoho, I have no opinion."
Lafayette's eyes were filled with anticipation.
"Then it's decided."
Maud turned to look at Keynes, who was waiting for the result.
Seeing Maud and the others is no problem, Keynes reminded at the right time:
"The steam engine is a machine with a relatively complex internal structure. In order to deal with possible failures and maintenance on weekdays, before the new ship leaves the factory, I suggest that you recruit a qualified mechanic."
"we know."
Maud nodded.
But for a while, where can they find a mechanic who can satisfy them?
Technology is better to say, strength is a hard requirement.
In any case, the main source of driving force for the new boat is still the conventional two-mast sail, and at the stern, there is also a power steering small sail.
Therefore, even if the onboard steam engine fails, the new ship will not be unable to move.
Without wasting time on this topic, Maud asked about the progress of the shipbuilding.
"Keynes, the problem of design drawings and shipbuilding materials has been resolved. With the strength of your shipyard, how long will it take to build a ship?"
"As short as fifteen days, as long as twenty-five days."
Keynes gave an approximate date without any hesitation.
He didn't even mention the time it took to transport Adam to Leviathan.
Such a reply is also enough to reflect the confidence of Thomas Shipyard.
In fact, in order to serve the sky-high order of Maude, after Baoshu Adam is in place, the production capacity of the entire Thomas Shipyard will be put into operation.
"Can."
This efficiency made Maud's eyes light up, and he said seriously: "If the final payment is made, I will make it up within a week."
"OK."
Keynes smiled.
Afterwards, Keynes didn't stay long, and left directly after leaving an updated budget sheet.
"Eighty million."
Maud holds the budget sheet that Keynes left behind.
Two weeks ago, he paid 630 million Bailey in advance, but he had to pay 650 million to buy the treasure tree Adam.
In other words, there is still 170 million Baileys short of the budget amount.
"It's really worth it..."
Jaya looked complicated.
800 million.
What is this concept?
Let her buy 80,000 sheep!
Lafayette took over the budget form from Maud, glanced at the budget items, and said, "Whether the balance can be made up within a week depends on Bailey's performance."
With that said, Lafayette looked at Bailey, who was sitting on the sofa drinking beer with his legs crossed.
"Um."
Maud smiled and nodded.
The new ship is about the same size as the Straw Hat Pirates' Sonny, but the budget amount is four times the cost of the Sonny's construction.
He vaguely remembered that when Franky went to the black market to buy the treasure tree Adam, it only cost 200 million, but their current purchase price is 650 million, which is three times worse than the cost alone.
But there is no comparison between the two.
If he can get Franky's technical support, even if he pays double the cost of shipbuilding, Maud is willing.
Still 170 million short of...
Fortunately, it happened to meet the beast-fighting competition in the Kingdom of Ahab.
With the principal of 30 million, as long as the trade goes smoothly, it should not be a problem to get 200 million within a week.
Two days passed.
The qualifiers for the Beast Tournament have officially ended.
Four qualifiers with a total of 6,211 participants.
However, including Bailey and Bepo, there were only 11 participants who got the right to qualify.
This also means that in just two days, at least 6,200 lives were strangled in the huge beast arena.
How many human slaves will there be?
No one cares about that.
On the third day after the qualifiers ended, there were 11 to 6 knockouts.
Maud is ready to make a fortune at the table.
But the staff at the Colosseum brought some unfortunate news.
This guy Bailey... turned out to be bye!
This kind of good thing that should make any participant feel lucky, but in the eyes of Maud and others, it is a kind of misfortune.
It's really human beings who count as gods.
"It's okay, we still have a suitable bet."
The incident happened suddenly, but Maud was very calm.
"Who?"
"Bepo!"
......
in a pub.
Bepo, who was eating and drinking, suddenly sneezed twice.
"The Bears must have been too good in the qualifiers..."
"..."
Luo drank silently.
......
at the same time.
In an alleyway on East Street.
Buffalo's face was slightly solemn.
The phone bug he was holding in his hand turned into a figure wearing a pink feather coat and red sunglasses.
"Furfur..."
Doflamingo's sneer came from the phone bug.
"Rona guy, he's also in Leviathan..."
"Young Master, I can catch him alive!"
Buffalo is confident.
If it wasn't for Bepo's participation in the Beast Fight, Buffalo wouldn't have known that Luo was also on Leviathan Island.
"Don't act rashly until Baby-5 and Rao.G join you."
Doflamingo timely stopped Buffalo's blind confidence.
"All right."
Buffalo nodded.
"Furfur..."
The phone bug's red sunglasses reflected a ray of sheen.
"There is a Vice Admiral with a lot of background who is also on his way to Leviathan. After you are done, you must leave Leviathan as soon as possible."
"clear!"
Communication then hangs up.
Buffalo put away the phone bug with coldness in his eyes, and said in a low voice, "Trafalgar Law, hum..."
.........
Bailey had an unfortunate bye, leading to a direct promotion.
There is also one less duel.
Still, Maud bet 10 million on Bepo.
Near the start of the main game, when Maud was about to leave for the Colosseum, he welcomed two special guests.
"Revolutionary Army?"
Maud looked at the two men and women who directly revealed their identities after visiting the door in surprise.
