Renetia, who is ten years old this year, was adopted by her master at a young age and taught boatmanship skills.
Like her master, she has a dream of making the whole world safe to sail, and to achieve this, she wants to make ships that can safely sail on the sea.
After the king's death, it was of course impossible for her to stay in the Kingdom of Natia, or even board the ship on her own initiative.
In the dark night, on the deck of the ship, Renetia said to Sager: "I helped you escape, as a way of repaying you for helping me defeat Murdoch. I will give you this ship as well. Please let me off at the next town."
"Is there anyone who got off the pirate ship?"
Sager smiled and said, "Don't think about it. The navy is here. Their surveillance technology is very powerful. They will find you sooner or later. Join my pirate group."
"I won't!"
Renetia shook her head and said, "You can't build ships as a pirate. I have to continue building ships."
"It can't be done without the materials. How long will it take you to find the materials from the East China Sea? And how many years will it take to find them?"
Sager said, "Why not think about it in another way? You want your ship to be famous, right? Then why not follow this ship? I am a pirate, and I will go to the Grand Line sooner or later. If a ship can pass through the Grand Line safely, won't it become famous?"
"Instead of spending several years, dozens of years or even longer waiting for materials, and then looking for someone to support you in continuing to build ships, why not come to me? In the time you wait, I can reach the New World."
"You built the ship with stolen materials anyway, so being a pirate won't be a problem for you, right? When you become famous and have all the materials, are you still worried that the ship you built won't be famous?"
"This... seems to make sense." Renetia touched her chin with her little hand, pretending to be an adult and thinking.
"Have you been to the Grand Line?" Sag continued to ask.
"No."
"Neither have I."
Sager said, "But you have heard about it, right? The climate and sea routes of the Grand Line are special and cannot be compared with ordinary seas. Your ship may be able to sail smoothly in the East China Sea, but can it really work on the Grand Line? If the ship is destroyed, you can't repair it. Since you have built a ship, you should also pay attention to after-sales service. Or do you actually have no confidence?"
"Bullshit! My shipbuilding skills are number one!"
Renetia rolled her eyes. "You don't need to use twisted logic here. I originally wanted to make a name for myself before going to the Grand Line and competing with the shipwrights from all over the world. All right! Let's go! From now on, I'll be your employee, boss!"
She is a little girl, but her vision and intelligence are not low, and she is certainly not limited to the East China Sea.
"Hahahaha, call the captain!"
Sager shouted to the others, "Young men, bring out the good wine to celebrate the fact that we have a boatman!"
"Oh!!" the pirates cheered.
A boatman, and a high-tech boatman, why not?
Boats must be maintained and repaired. No matter what kind of boat it is, it is not a perpetual motion machine.
Renetia was able to build such a large ship. If he didn't want such a talent, would he go find an ordinary mediocre one?
Young?
He would just train her slowly.
Even if Renetia has no fighting ability, relying on this skill, Sager can make her a cadre, not to mention that this guy is also a capable person and his strength is not weak.
"that."
Amid the cheers, Palu raised his hand and said eagerly: "So can I be an Iron Man again? I want it so much!"
"Go away! Turtle shell!"
Renetia raised her eyebrows. "You can tell from looking at it, right? Things like Iron Man are controlled by my ability. Without the ability, it's just a pile of iron junk that can barely move. Have you been a turtle for so long that you want to live in a snail shell and become a snail? Why don't you go to the sea and be eaten by a sea beast? The sea beast's huge body can also give you shelter!"
"I have something to say!"
Ajin stood up, his eyes firm, "I am Ajin, not a monkey!"
"Monkeys can also be called Ajin! If you are not satisfied, just kill all the monkeys. But then you will be the only monkey in the world, and you won't even be able to find your own kind, black monkey!" Renetia shouted.
Well,
I am still very irritable.
"Sager, we are going to recruit people."
Lily looked at the empty deck and said, "This number of people is totally insufficient."
She realized that the smooth sailing of the ship currently depended on Renetia's ability. After all, more than 30 people were not able to operate such a large ship.
"It's definitely not enough."
Renetia responded, "This ship is even larger than the Grand Line's naval warships. The standard capacity is one thousand people, and the maximum capacity can reach one thousand five hundred people. It has three hundred and eighty cannons, three hundred on the left and right sides of the ship, and eighty on the bow and stern, including a main gun on the bow. It takes more than a hundred people to maintain the mast, and thirty or so people will not have time to adjust it when encountering wind and waves."
"No hurry, I don't plan on entering the Grand Line right now."
Sager waved his hand and said, "We'll see if there are any suitable pirates along the way and invite them aboard. But for now."
He looked at the pirates who were already drinking, narrowed his eyes, and said, "Tomorrow, we will start training."
Recruiting pirates is necessary, but improving the strength of your subordinates is also important.
Otherwise, with this foundation, it would be impossible for you to go to the Grand Line.
The landlord is exploiting his subordinates, not being exploited by them. If he can let his subordinates solve the problem, why should he do it himself?
First, train a few qualified people
...
The next day.
"Captain, do you really want to do this? I'm afraid of pain. I'll go crazy, really, I'll go crazy!"
Palu was captured by several pirates at this time, and the remaining pirates weighed the iron rods in their hands, waiting for Sager's order.
The jeweled throne was moved to the deck by his men. Sager sat on it and said expressionlessly, "Hit me."
Bang, bang, bang!
Several iron rods hit Palu mercilessly.
The intense pain made Palu's eyes roll around and he screamed in pain.
This 'Iron Wall' Palu is not weak either. He can block cannon fire with just an iron shield. He has a strong physique and strength, but there is one thing: he is afraid of
pain. "How can you train with an iron block if you are afraid of pain? First, change your fear of pain. Isn't it better to use your body as a shield instead of an external object like an iron shield? It hurts now, but it won't hurt later."
What Sager is asking Palu to practice now is the Iron Block, one of the six styles.
By manipulating the accelerated flow of blood, the body will harden. Men all understand the principle.
"But I see Lady Lily is very relaxed!" Palu shouted in panic.
On the other side of the deck, Lily paced back and forth, and every time she reached the deck, she stepped on it several times.
"She's not practicing iron blocks, she's practicing 'shaving', wait until you've mastered the iron blocks first, then look at the other things." Sage waved his hand and said, "Hurry up, this is too slow."
Bang, bang, bang!
On the deck, only the sound of iron rods hitting each other and Palu's shrill screams remained.
