One Piece: The Straw Hat Pirates' Mechanic

"Then you may not know that the pockmarked aunt you just mentioned has agreed to give me all her treasures!" Carl looked at the little thief in front of him with a joking face, and said jokingly,"If you don't believe me, ask them!"

The group of poor pirates behind him who had just suffered a wave of beatings naturally did not dare to say no, and nodded frantically, as if they would be thrown into the sea to feed the sharks in the next second if they nodded slowly.

"you..."Looking at the scene in front of her, how come the little female thief doesn't know what the other party means?

"I...I didn't steal it. They stole the treasures from others. I just returned them to their original owners." She still said stubbornly.

"You little thief is interesting, but I am too lazy to argue with you about who is right and who is wrong. Now that you have been caught by me, your life is in my hands. Whatever I say will be what I say!"

"So what do you want to do?"

Karl looked him up and down, then pulled off his headscarf, and his short orange hair instantly fell apart:

"Sure enough, she is a female thief!"

"you..."The female thief glared angrily, like a kitten with exploded hair.

"Then you can stay on the ship and work for me. When I have enough money to redeem myself, I will let you go. You stole my money, so you have to work yourself to pay off the debt. It makes sense!"

"work to earn a living?"

"That's right!"

Karl waved his hand and signaled the group of pirates to disperse:

"Not only her, but you guys too!"

"You who have been pirates for so long should also know the current market situation. Losers like you basically have only two options, either join or die."

"But I'm going to give you a third option."

"I won't kill you, but I don't need you to join me. Once we get to the island, I'll hand you over to the navy."

"Sea..Navy!!!"

The pirates looked horrified.

"Don't act like you're desperate for life. You're not some vicious pirates. What's the point of going to the navy? It’s better than dying! What's more, they still care about your three meals a day. Isn't that much better than being a pirate?"

Karl waved his hand and explained earnestly:

"If you don't want to, you can commit suicide now, and I won't stop you."

As he said that, Karl found a long knife of good quality from the pile of treasures and threw it in front of the pirate:

"please."

Pirates, look at me and I look at you. In the end, no one has the courage to pick up that long knife.

"It seems you want to live!"

"Then the problem is simple. You don't have to be too scared. I am also giving you a chance to reform."

"As long as the crimes you commit are not too serious, I don't think the navy will kill you all. The navy is different from pirates. Their main goal is persuasion. Do you understand?"

"That's why there are such things as prisons. Otherwise, it would be better if they were all built as execution grounds. Why build so many prisons?"

"When you go to prison, you won't be bored. The navy will assign you some tasks. After all, they can't support you for nothing, right? It's probably just some simple work like building houses, doing handicrafts, cooking, moving things, etc."

"I will definitely not tire you out!"

"Looking at it this way, is it much better than losing your head?"

After Karl's deception, all the pirates nodded like chickens.

"Besides, you all have relatives, right? You probably wouldn't dare go back to see them after following this guy Alrita. After all, you can have the heart to rob others, but you probably can't bear to see your hometown or your home being looted."

"When you get to the Navy, if you change your ways and behave well, and you haven't killed anyone, you will probably be back in a few years, and then you can go home openly and honestly."

"Sigh~~ Come to think of it, I’m really a good person!"

As he spoke, Karl himself was very moved. He felt that he was not a pirate, but the savior!

And the pirates in front of him also had red eyes, obviously understanding Karl's good intentions.

Only the one just now The female thief looked at Karl with suspicion, not believing a word he said.

"Before you reach the naval base, you will need���Good job on the ship"

"You know, there are good jobs in the Navy, and there are some bad jobs."

"Your performance on the ship will determine whether you go to prison or work as a bricklayer or a coal miner. You should know the difference between the two."

"Also, those who do a good job will have an easier time on the ship."

"If any of you are being coerced and have never done anything bad, like the pink-headed Coby just now, I can also show mercy and let you go."

"Of course, it all depends on your performance."

"Did you understand everything?"

"Listen...I understand!"

"I can't hear you! Didn't you eat?"

"Got it!"

A group of pirates shouted loudly, shouting several times before Carl nodded with satisfaction.

"Now, the first task is to move some explosives and iron tools from your ship."Karl ordered,"Those who work, please add chicken drumsticks to your lunch later! Um...You should have chicken legs here, right?"

"I go!"

A pirate wrapped in a white turban immediately rushed over and ran down the stairs to the cabin. When the other pirates saw this, they also shouted and followed. If you try to steal from me, I will kill you.

"Okay, okay, let’s go to five...Eight people are enough! Don't worry, there are still tasks to be done!"

Seeing that he was losing control, Carl hurriedly stopped him, muttering in his heart:

【A chicken drumstick makes you so excited?】

【It seems that you usually���What a good life!】

"You, you, and you, you should have paper and pens on board, go bring some over."

"and you...."

Soon, everything Carl needed was brought over and neatly placed on the deck.

"Cannonballs? Low-quality metal, just make do with it."

Karl opened a box and took out a dark cannonball from it. He put it in his hand and looked at it twice, then activated his ability to liquefy it and then shape it. Soon, a black cannonball was almost crudely made. The necklace written on the face is so brand new

"You... come here!"

The one-eyed pirate who was called came over tremblingly. Carl didn't waste any words and directly buckled his collar around the other's neck. Then he looked around for a few times and felt that the size was just right.

"Give it a try and see if you can break it."
