Chapter 129 The beginning! Cocoro's letter of introduction!
The sun is shining and the sea is calm. In the distance, birds flew by low altitude, grabbed a sea fish and soared into the sky.
Waste ship island.
A modified old ship.
"Brother Hawke was sold last night. You couldn't have done it?" Franky asked curiously.
"Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, the Arkham Group's way of dealing with friends. We have good wine and enemies, we have swords and guns!"
Liszt glanced at him and found that there was basically a small workshop inside the ship with all kinds of tools. Franky should be here to complete his transformation.
Frankie looked at the drawings for a while, but fell into deep thought. Liszt didn't bother him and stayed quietly.
"This device..." After a while, Franky scratched his head.
"How is it? Can it be improved?"
"This seems to be a steam engine combustion furnace, right? Not a coal-burning furnace?"
"Yes, a new energy source." Lister didn't say much.
“Like Coke?”
Liszt pulled the corner of his mouth. Who knew how Franky used Coke to make energy. If he hadn't found Lan Yanbing, he would have really wanted to try to replace the coal mine with Coke and see if it could drive the steam engine. It would be a tiring process to study science in this unscientific world.
Franke hesitated for a while and didn't want to take the job, but his hands were itchy. This is a common problem for many technical homes. Seeing the novel technology, he always wanted to try it. After a long time, he glanced at the quote on the drawings, which was as high as 20 million Baileys. Then he nodded with difficulty and said, "I'll try it! However, you need to provide the raw materials."
"No problem, I will send someone to contact you. This is a confidentiality agreement." Liszt said.
In the evening, Esbago set up a private paty at home, attending the conference include executives of Carrera Shipbuilding Company, foreman, owners of other five major shipbuilding companies, as well as the current mayor of Water Capital and other powerful people.
In Paty, Aesbagu grandly introduced Liste and Crow to everyone. Amid the warm applause of the scene, the Arkham Group took the stage of the great route for the first time. But in the applause, who knows how kind or malicious it is?
The power of the great route is mixed. Not to mention the New World, just talk about the Paradise section, the Navy, the Seven Warriors Sea, and the Kingdoms, and the Pirates who pour in from all over the world every year are rushing their rule. If anyone lacks some ability, it is really difficult to survive in this paradise called the "Pirate Cemetery".
As a commercial organization from the East China Sea, known as the "weakest sea", Arkham Group will definitely have some twists and turns if it wants to gain a foothold in the great route. Therefore, this time it will be about showing off and building an outpost. There will not be too many actions. The current focus is still in the East China Sea.
But this kind of expansion is necessary and necessary, the great route and the new world, with many science, knowledge and talents that the East China Sea does not have.
What's more, the Arkham Group, which lives in a corner, wants to turn around overnight with the development of its own territory.
So, what's the way?
In fact, there are traces to follow. The great country in another world with a history of only more than 200 years has pointed out a way for Liszt.
The sea is inclusive for a lifetime, and tolerance is great!
"You want to go to Fishman Island to recruit workers?"
In the tavern, Esbago took Liszt to find the alcoholic Grandma Cocola. She has wavy blond hair, ugly appearance and fat figure. It is hard to think about it. This was once a beautiful and beautiful mermaid.
Beauty grows faster, and youth is fleeting!
Lister suspected that the price of a woman's fish going ashore and the tail turned into double strands is to make her look ugly. Think about it, the beautiful mermaid who once lived under the sea turned ashore and turned into a group of ugly old ladies. Lister couldn't help but shivered.
Going into the sea and becoming beautiful, and going to the sea and becoming ugly, and I was crazy about it!
He was disgusted and Liszt smiled and said, "Yes, some of the group's businesses require underwater operations. I think there is no more suitable choice in this world than the workers of Fishman Island. However, I heard that Fishman is more exclusive, so I hope you can get your help."
Grandma Coco Luo glanced at Aesbagu.
"Liszt is not only my partner, but also a young and upright person. Like me, he has no prejudice against fishmen," said Esbago.
"Not all fishmen are xenophobic, young people." Grandma Cocola took a sip of wine.
"I have heard of the incident of Princess Oki two years ago, which was really surprising. She was a great pioneer. As you said, not all fishmen are xenophobic, not all humans discriminate against fishmen, we need to know each other. I always believe that if a race wants to win respect, it must show itself and make a voice to the world."
After receiving the introduction letter from Grandma Cocola, Liszt became more confident about Yuren Island and his party.
The situation in Fishman Island is complicated, especially Princess Yiji's corpse is not cold, mermaids, fishmans, conservatives, radicals, and neutrals are in chaos. Eight years later, Luffy and his gang landed on Fishman Island, but none of them changed.
Therefore, as a human being, Liszt went to talk to Fishman Island without an intermediary introduction, and it was very difficult.
You can't say to the fish people: "Believe in me, believe in me, believe in me, and believe in me will bring eternal life!"
You're crazy!
"Bolu Bolu..."
On a broken sailing boat, the shirtless Gongxi rested with his eyes closed. The moment the phone worm rang, he suddenly opened his eyes, stood up from the box, and stretched out his excited and trembling hands.
"Hey, hey, is it Lord Liszt?" Gongxi asked nervously.
The phone bug was quiet for a moment, and showed a puzzled expression and said, "Are you Gongsi? Where is Montpury?"
"I am Gongsi, and the captain and I are separated. You have his life paper there, isn't he dead yet?"
Lister glanced at the shrinking paper of life on the table. This thing is a special item that only exists in the new world. It is made by mixing his own nails into the material. It is a paper that represents the vitality of the owner. Usually people will tear him apart and hand him over to their relatives or friends who are about to separate, and the torn paper will attract each other.
Life paper is neither afraid of water nor fire. It will shrink when the owner is weak, and when he returns to his health, it will return to its original size. If it turns into ashes, it means that the owner is dead.
"I'm still alive, but I'm not in good condition."
Liste paused and said, "That is, Montbley wasn't with you? What happened?"
"So, the captain of the fifth team of the Whitebeard Pirates, Fosar Bista, and the villain Ufian, attacked your ships."
"Yes, yes, it's too strong than Sta. We cut off our ship with one sword. Fortunately, the sea storm broke out. I, a few crew members, and half of the hull, drifted to a deserted island..."
