One Piece: Wudang White Night, Vice Captain of the Straw Hat Pirates

The world of One Piece has always had a technology tree that is a little off.

They already have the technology of cyborgs, but they are still using a relatively primitive navigation tool like a sailboat.

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

But after such a long adventure, Bai Ye seems to have understood a little.

Just like Tom can build a sea train, a navigation tool that can be described as unreasonable.

There is no reason for the World Government to build ships and other navigation tools.

Then, excluding the fact that the people in the World Government are all fools, the answer seems to be about to come out.

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

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 resurrection of ancient weapons.

And 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 approach.

Don't think that the World Government is just doing this superficially.

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

[The Great Pirate Era that the world talks about has begun for more than ten years. ]

[Over the years, the number of pirates has increased day by day. ]

[It is no longer appropriate to passively claim to prevent the creation of ancient weapons. ]

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

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

[We must have ancient weapons and use them to end the Great Pirate Era! ! ! 】

Let’s not talk about whether Spandam really thinks so, what he said does make sense.

As the only ruling government on the sea, facing the endless criminals, it is definitely the best choice to have ancient weapons in hand.

But the attitude of the Five Elders is a bit intriguing.

They just let Spandam, the "idiot", take charge of this matter, and said: "Get the design drawings first, and then make a long-term plan."

This is not reasonable.

There are two reasons for this situation.

The first is that the World Government has a stronger military force than ancient weapons.

But this is obviously inconsistent with the previous practice of the World Government. Even if the World Government has the King of Heaven, it is only at the same level as the Pluto.

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

In short, for the World Government, between the two choices of abandoning the ancient weapons forever in history and holding the ancient weapons in their own hands, the former is what they want to see more.

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

However, Bai Ye seems to have found the answer in Bingshan's mouth.

——

"It is impossible to upgrade the original ship 100% with the current shipbuilding technology."

Iceberg sat in his office chair and spoke slowly.

Yes, he finally chose to tell the whole story.

As for the reason, Bingshan didn't know.

Maybe it was because the Straw Hat Pirates' previous behavior made him very fond of it.

Or maybe he had kept the secret for too long.

"Today's ship structure is mostly based on the keel as the core structure."

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

"This is also what the shipbuilders often say, [Replacing the keel is equivalent to rebuilding a new ship]."

"But the shipbuilders who can build Pluto, or your master Tom, should have such technology."

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

After all, if he continues to talk, Luffy will definitely fall asleep.

"Ah, sorry."

After saying this briefly, Iceberg finally got to the point:

"Yes, although I have not seen Pluto in person, I have seen Pluto's design drawings in person."

"I can be sure that it has such technology."

"As you said, Master Tom also knows this technology."

"That is the technology named modular assembly by the master."

"What a pity..."

At this point, Iceberg's face showed a painful expression, but Bai Ye nodded and confirmed his guess

.

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

However, Pluto's power may not be the biggest reason for the World Government to be afraid.

You can know it by referring to Aquaman.

Then, Pluto's greater threat to the World Government may be the technology contained in it.

In connection with the assumptions made before, it can be judged that once the shipbuilding technology contained in Pluto is fully released, it will bring great reforms to the current ocean.

Even -

Completely change the current status of the ocean.

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

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

But taking the sea train only takes one hour.

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

After this situation is infinitely magnified on the entire ocean, it is somewhat disadvantageous to the World Government.

When the connections between the islands become closer, the role of the World Government will be infinitely reduced.

After all, the reason why the current world government can take care of so many member countries is because of its more advanced warships and technology to pass through the doldrums.

That's why they want Pluto to disappear in history.

But unfortunately, not to mention the impact that Pluto's advent can have on the world government, the modular assembly technology alone has made Bai Ye a must-win.

Before, Bai Ye could promise that he could solve the problem of keel replacement.

Mainly, he was going to use his own refining method to melt the new keel and the old keel.

But after Kokoro said that there was such a technology, Bai Ye naturally accepted it with pleasure.

Now there is only one problem left.

"Uncle, do you know that technology? Can you help us upgrade the Merry?"

After accurately grasping the key points, Luffy asked anxiously.

"I'm sorry, I don't know this technology."

"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."
