General Lanlin of One Piece

Chapter 224 Banquet
After the tsunami, even the air in the Seven Waters City became refreshing and pleasant.

A few hours later, night fell again.

Although there was no moon or starlight in the sky, the top of this sea city was as bright as day, with dancing lights everywhere.

Rising smoke, noisy and lively crowds, and food stalls emitting various fragrances extend from the empty City Hall Square to the more spacious No. [-] Dockyard.

"What did you say? Brigadier General Rorschach single-handedly defeated the Lakulana Tsunami?"

Pamel stared, listening to Bebo's boastful boasts about his previous thrilling experience.

Listening to the exclamations and stories of the noisy crowd around him, Pamel's face was filled with annoyance.

"Damn it! Just by listening to it, I can imagine that epic, heroic and heroic scene. I haven't experienced those exciting things myself!"

"Yes! What an amazing feat. Brigadier General Rorschach is really amazing."

Beside him, Oyimo and Cassie, both giants, were also present.

The two of them held three or four-meter-long barbecue skewers in their hands and sighed while eating.

The two of them have been approved to join the navy and can leave Judiciary Island.

This time I came with Pamel on Rorschach's warship.

"Hey! Giant, do you also want to join the Commodore? There are not such big rooms on the warship."

Bebo looked up at Oyimo and Cassie with some vigilance.

He felt that his position was threatened.

It's enough to have a giant tribe called Pamel on Rorschach's ship.

As if feeling the hostility of this cute white bear, Oyimo and Cassie looked at each other and laughed:

"Hahaha, we would be happy to join a warrior as powerful as Brigadier General Rorschach. However, we still have some things to do. Brother White Bear, see you next time in Malinfando."

"I'm Bebo." Hearing this, Bebo breathed a sigh of relief and sniffed.

In this way, he was still ranked fourth on Commodore Rorschach's warship.

Well, it refers to strength.

In the center of the dock square, Rorschach, Bingshan, Franky, Barry and others were sitting on the ground, enjoying the food and wine piled in the open space in front of them.

There was a lot of joy and laughter among the people drinking and drinking, and it was very lively.

"Let us drink to the hero who saved the Seven Waters City, Brigadier General Rorschach!"

Bingshan, who rarely drinks alcohol, made an exception and drank a lot today.

A steady face was already covered with blush, with a heartfelt smile on his face, and he raised the wine glass in his hand high.

"cheers!"

Barry, Franky, Deluston, Luo, Kaku and others all raised their glasses.

The surrounding crowd also let out loud cheers and raised their wine glasses from a distance.

"I told you not to be so polite, Mr. Bingshan. I am a navy, and protecting everyone's safety is what a righteous navy must do."

Rorschach raised his glass and drank it down with a smile.

"Brigadier General Rorschach's determination to protect justice is truly admirable."

Bingshan's expression was a little complicated, and his tone was full of emotion and emotion.

to be frank.

Due to the execution of Mr. Tom many years ago, Bingshan did not have much favorable impressions of the World Government and the Navy.

He has a stable nature, and naturally he will not expose his thoughts to outsiders.

But over the years, there was T. Penn who was stationed in the waters of Judiciary Island and was responsible for guarding the sea train route.

Later, there was Luo Xia and others who now saved the Seven Waters Capital.

These naval generals who uphold the concept of justice have greatly changed Bingshan's impression of the navy.

At least, he no longer regards the proud officials of the Navy and the World Government as the same breed.

"Brother Rorschach, drink less." Yunque put on the sky blue princess dress she wore yesterday, sat down next to Rorschach in a cute voice, and whispered.

"It's okay. My ability to drink is no longer what it used to be."

Rorschach smiled and touched Skylark's head. Suddenly he caught a glimpse of Franky's little movement and shouted loudly:
"Franky! What are you doing, you little boy? You're so sneaky, you're actually thinking of using Coke instead of alcohol. Give me three drinks as a penalty, otherwise, I'll take you to Judiciary Island for trial tomorrow!"

Franky was startled by his voice. He trembled and secretly took out the Coke from his abdomen and dropped it to the ground.

"Hey, drink, I will drink now."

Being stared at by Rorschach, Franky smiled, picked up the wine bottle next to him, poured himself three glasses of ale, and drank one by one with a frown on his face.

He prefers Coke to alcohol.

Rorschach suddenly stood up, holding the wine bottle in his hand, and squeezed between Franky and Bingshan. He reached out and hooked Franky's shoulder, making his body stiffen and his muscles suddenly tightened.

He looked at Franky curiously, which only made Franky feel terrified.

Rorschach squeezed Franky's shoulder with his right hand and found that his body was indeed extremely hard.

Underneath the skin is a heavy steel structure.

Rorschach wanted to ask how Franky transformed himself into a half-flesh, half-steel cyborg all by himself.

This is not an easy thing to do.

Let's not talk about how to replace the flesh and bones in the body with metal, how to modify the digestive system in the body, and how to install cannonballs and weapons into the body.

Just peeling off this layer of flesh and blood would probably kill an ordinary person from the pain.

It is hard to imagine that after being hit by a sea train, Franky relied on his tenacity to endure the inhuman pain and transformed himself into Iron Man Franky.

But there are so many people at the moment, Lu Qi, Kaku, Kalifa and the others are all here, so it’s hard for Rorschach to ask openly.

"I heard that you used my money to buy wood from the Adam tree?"

The words that came out of Rorschach's mouth made Franky so ashamed that he wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

But he still admitted it very simply.

"Yes, I did take [-] million beli to buy the wood of the Adam tree. I'm really sorry, I made a mistake this time and actually stole the savior's money. But don't worry, I will We will return the lumber and return the [-] million beli."

"Who asked you to pay back the money?"

Rorschach rolled his eyes, making Franky stunned.

Franky wondered: "What do you mean you don't want me to pay back the money?"

"Didn't you buy those wood just to build a good ship? Just as it happened, I was planning to ask Mr. Bingshan to help me build a larger warship. By the way, how much wood did you buy? How big of a ship can you build? "

Rorschach picked up a long string of meatballs and stuffed his cheeks full.

He looked through the crowd and caught a glimpse of Margaery and her daughter having a barbecue by the pool not far away.

Tonight, everyone from the entire Seven Waters Capital came to attend the banquet.

The number of chefs is naturally very scarce.

There is no one as capable as Chef Deno here, who can cook food for thousands of people by himself.

Therefore, many residents volunteered to join the ranks of cooking food.

Margery and her daughter, who are good at barbecue meat, also took the initiative to cook barbecue for the guests.

Suddenly, Rorschach's eyes moved, and when he saw Margaery's stall, Skylark ran over, smiled and started to help her, and they started barbecue together.

Franky counted on his fingers and said after careful consideration: "Well, we can probably build a large ship, a ketch, four to fifty meters long."

"Only four and a half meters? Five hundred million beli, and you just bought such a small amount of wood?" Luo Xia couldn't believe it.

You know, the cost of building large warships in the Navy is only two to three billion Baileys.

This also includes a large number of artillery and steam power rooms installed on warships.

"That's the Adam's Tree, the most expensive shipbuilding material in the world. Five hundred million beli can buy so much, which is pretty good. If the timber merchant hadn't thought of leaving as soon as it was sold out, that good material would have definitely gone up for auction. Okay, the price will have to go up by at least [-]% by then."

Frankie stretched out five fingers and shouted.

Luo Xia touched his chin, frowned, and couldn't help but whisper: "It took [-] million beli to buy such a small amount of wood. If I add the remaining money, I'm afraid I won't be able to build the warship I want." Ah. Where can I get money now? Ask the old man from the Warring States period? How long will it take? I don’t have the time to spend it here. "

"I wonder how big a warship Commodore Rorschach wants to build?"

Bingshan, who had been listening beside him, suddenly asked.

"It has to be at least 100 meters long."

Rorschach replied directly without thinking.

The length of the warship of 100 meters was a conclusion he reached after thinking about it for many days.

The naval headquarters' warship size specifications are divided into five levels.

A warship over 100 meters is called an extra large warship, and is usually captained by a giant captain from the Navy Headquarters. There is no special upper limit, but the length generally does not exceed 300 meters.

50 meters to 100 meters, they are called large warships, which are the warships used by the headquarters' lieutenant generals and generals on daily missions.

Rorschach's ship also has the same specifications.

Further down, there are medium-sized warships of 40 meters, small warships of more than 20 meters long, and mini warships of more than ten meters long.

On his ship, there is a big man like Pamel who is ten meters tall, so the required space for movement needs to be increased accordingly.

Two hundred people were crowded on the 50-meter-long warship. To be honest, it was a bit crowded.

"100 meters long? Hiss... If such a large warship were to be built entirely from the wood of the Adam's tree, the wood required would be at least three to five times what Franky bought."

Bingshan took a breath.

This cost is not small.

"So much?" Luo Xia's eyes widened. "Doesn't that mean we need to buy another 20 billion Baileys of wood?"

"I'm afraid so, if you want to build it entirely from Adam's tree wood."

Iceberg said so.

Building a 30-meter-class warship actually costs an astronomical price of [-] billion Baileys.

This was something Rorschach didn't expect at all.

In the comics, the Miles Sunshine that Franky helped Luffy build seems to be only three to 40 meters long.

It seems that the wood was purchased for [-] million beli.

And that time period is still three years later.

Bailey's purchasing power now is definitely stronger than it will be three years from now.

Luo Xia originally thought that spending seven to eight hundred million would be enough, and he could also save some money for them to buy some furniture, clothes and other daily necessities in the capital of seven waters.

Perhaps he saw Rorschach's doubts.

Bingshan, a master-level boatman, gave an explanation.

The space size of a 50-meter-class ship is more than four times that of a [-]-meter-class ship.

The most expensive parts of the entire ship are the keel and mast.

These two key parts need to be built with complete wood and cannot be spliced.

Otherwise, the strength is not enough, and the warship will be easily damaged in battle.

A [-]-meter-long Adam's tree log is estimated to cost two to three hundred million beli.

Still priceless.

The nobles of some kingdoms, and even the nobles of the world, like to buy this ultra-rare wood to carve some works of art.

Seeing Luo Xia's somewhat depressed look, Bingshan's eyes flickered for a moment, then he smiled and said:

"Commodore Rorschach, in fact, my Carrera Company's wood warehouse also stores some wood from Adam's tree. If necessary, I can take it out and help you build the warships you need."

When Luo Xia heard this, he waved his hands quickly: "No, no, those woods are very expensive, I can't have them."

"It's just some wood. Brigadier General Luo Xia is my great benefactor in the Capital of Seven Waters..."

Bingshan wanted to persuade him again, but Luo Xia simply refused.

The Capital of Seven Waters is not rich either, and life is not easy for everyone. Luo Xia is not shameless enough to think of repaying a favor.

Seeing this, Bingshan felt helpless and could only sigh and suggested:

“Let’s do this, Brigadier General Rorschach will take out [-] million Baileys, and I will take out some of the Adamantium tree materials stored by Carrera Company.

Don’t worry, there isn’t much wood, just a 110-meter-long log and some leftover materials.

That log was used to build the keel. "

"As for the remaining required materials, I think it is entirely possible to dismantle Commodore Rorschach's warship and fill it with warship materials.

The large warships of the Navy headquarters are made of extremely tough and solid materials.

Although it is slightly inferior to the wood of Baoshu Adam, it is completely sufficient for filling decks and cabins. "

Rorschach's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Yes, why didn't I think of this?

The large warships of the headquarters are naturally extremely strong.

Ordinary pirate shells cannot cause much damage to the hull.

Just take a look at the two warships of Marineford that were used as sandbags after they were decommissioned.

He was beaten by Karp and Kuzan for several years, and more than ten years later, he was beaten by Rorschach for more than half a year, but he still did not disintegrate.

Its toughness and solidity are evident.

"The dismantling of the warship can be left to our French family. We are professionals in this aspect. Brother, this time, let me help you, a great benefactor, build a warship that can travel around the world. Come out!"

Franky patted his chest and laughed.

"I may add some special devices to the warship. I don't know if it can be manufactured." Rorschach hesitated.

"Don't worry! No matter what device you want to add to your ship, as long as you can name it, our Carrera company's shipwrights can help you build it perfectly. We are the strongest shipbuilding company in the world!"

Barry and Deluston, who had been eavesdropping for a long time, already had their eyes shining.

After hearing this, he immediately jumped out and said vowedly.

"What special device do you want to add to the warship?"

Franky asked curiously.

"It's not urgent. We will find a time to discuss it then. Now, I have a good proposal that I want to tell you about."

Rorschach picked up the wine glass and looked at the people around him with a smile.

"What proposal?"

Everyone sitting in a circle looked up.

Rorschach grinned, raised his glass and said:
"I would like to invite you to join the navy."
