Chapter 191 Captured! A dream that died before it even started!(1/2)

With windless islands, busy construction sites in dense forests, Liszt plans for the future development of Arkham College.

Arkham Academy has always been an important part of Lister's plan, but the cultivation of talents, from scratch, takes time to brew, and it cannot be achieved overnight. Just like a tree, it has a growth process and requires patience to cultivate and wait, so that it can bloom beautiful flowers and bear full fruits.

With the expansion of the Arkham Group and attracting attention from the world government, some research work at the Arkham Academy may touch the sensitive nerves of the world government. Therefore, Liszt was thinking about how to avoid premature exposure very early. Since the construction of Paradise Island on Fishman Island, Liszt consciously explored the windless belt.

However, the danger of the windless belt does not need to be described too much. Those huge super-large sea kings have the power to crush islands and overturn any ships. Therefore, this plan has been stranded until now. It was not until the sea train was opened and the steamship built by the Fearless Shipyard went into the sea and started to start.

In addition to these reasons, there are cost restrictions.

Although the steamship itself has power and does not need to rely on wind power to sail in a windless belt, it is impossible to cross the windless belt with steamship alone. It is necessary to install sea tower stones at the bottom of the steamship. With the characteristics of sea tower stones, it is possible to avoid sea kings to the greatest extent. Even so, it is not foolproof and requires a dedicated escort.

In this way, the difficulty and cost of building buildings in the windless belt is several times higher than that outside the windless belt. Building materials such as wood and stone can also be obtained on the island, steel and other things need to be transported from the outside world, as well as workers' living needs. After the base is built, the daily necessities consumed by the incoming personnel is a bottomless pit.

Because the islands without wind belts do not produce food and various crops cannot grow. This is why Amazon Lilies formed a pirate group and plundered everywhere. Because of the environment they are in, they must do this, otherwise they will not be able to survive.

The professors at the institute have conducted an assessment and built a base in the windless belt. The expected cost of Bailey is as high as 3 billion for this project alone, which does not include subsequent investment.

What is the concept of 3 billion Bailey's investment?

It is equivalent to last year, Earl Arkham received a year of fiscal tax revenue!

It is equivalent to the bounty of the next two Five Emperors Luffy!

Even, it can be said to be a small country with more than ten years of fiscal revenue, such as the drum kingdom of Magnetic Drum Island.

So, a project can be built immediately if it is not just a single word from Liszt.

Take the sea train project as an example. If it weren't for the discovery of Lanyan Bing Energy, Liszt would have a foundation for construction unless he found a coal mine in the East China Sea. Without energy, would the sea train run with a hammer and use a sea king to pull it?

Besides, the steam ships in the Fearless Shipyard are different. Due to different energy sources, the steam engines used by the Fearless Shipyard steam ships will naturally change. Some structures need to be redesigned, and this kind of redesign requires time and resource investment. It is not to say that Liszt ordered me to build a steam ship immediately, and the shipyard can immediately produce finished products, even if there are ready-made drawings.

Simply put, everyone has learned the formula of making and splashing, but can you create and splash with just one mouth?

You cannot take things for granted, you cannot deviate from reality, and you cannot do everything you can when you don’t have the ability.

For example, if Liszt launched the windless island development project two years ago, not to mention the dangers, the early investment alone may drag down the overall development of the Arkham Group. Such examples are everywhere, such as leap forward activities in a certain country at a certain period.

Liszt and Professor Motterson walked on the construction site and talked about the details of the institute's construction.

Professor Motson is a technical consultant for the entire project. His achievements in architecture are reflected in the planning and construction of Kesha City and Cocosia City.

When walking through a construction site where huge rocks were cut, a man suddenly jumped up among the working prisoners, swaying the huge rocks he was carrying, and smashing them at Liszt.

The sudden change made the supervisors unable to react. Liszt tilted his head, stretched out his hand, and lightly caught the sharply cut stone weighing two or three tons.

Immediately afterwards, a figure flashed out from behind the stone and kicked Liszt.

Liszt did not dodge, and punched the other person in the foot with his other hand.

With a click, the figure retreated faster than before, flew out more than ten meters, and fell into a pile of gravel.

"Damn it, how dare you attack Lord Lord!"

At this time, the supervisors reacted and rushed over.

"Aren't you scared?"

Liszt put the stone on the ground with a light weight, saying to Motson who was shocked.

"No, it's okay!"

Motson is also a person who has experienced the Great Wayland Paradise section. His psychological tolerance is stronger than that of ordinary people. He quickly came to his senses, shook his head, and said, "If you use these pirates as workers, if you don't handle it well, you will mutiny!"

"These people are not worthy of sympathy!"

Lister said: "You can't just see their pitiful times, but you can't see their evil times!"

"I don't sympathize with them, I just feel that violence alone can't manage these prisoners well. There should be another way," Motson said.

"What's the solution?"

Liszt thought about it and felt that what Motson said was right. Simply oppressing would only lead to more intense resistance.

"Divide them into different teams, rotate different jobs, and distribute food according to the progress of work completion. Those with excellent performance can be rewarded, and those with poor performance can be punished. If one person commits a crime, the whole team will be punished. In addition, they can also be paid a salary to make them realize that their work is not only being punished, but also making money for themselves. After all, isn't most pirates going to sea just for money?" Professor Motson said.

Liszt smiled and said, "You can try it!"

When the two of them finalized the prisoner's management plan in a few words, the supervisor had already dragged the people who attacked Liszt over.

He is short and thin, with short green hair. Although his right leg has been broken and deformed, he still gritted his teeth without saying a word, only sweat flowing on his face.

"You are the battle captain of the Clike Pirates, Ajin?" Liszt still had some impression of Ajin.

Ajin looked at Liste coldly without saying a word.

Lister said: "You want to avenge your captain?"

"Captain Clich saved my life!" said Ajin.

"Then you have returned your life to him. For your loyalty, I will spare your life and take him down to cure the injury. After the injury is healed, he will hang in the sun and expose it to the sun for three days to be punished!" Liszt said.

"yes!"

The supervisor immediately dragged Ajin away.

Ajin's attack was just a small episode. It was put on a construction site with more than a thousand people, and even the waves were not aroused.

Regarding the reform of the management methods of prisoners, Liszt directly handed over to Professor Motterson.

Just as Liszt inspected the construction site and was about to go to Arkham College, Leon Lenny from the City Hall called.

Liszt rushed back to Kesha City, and in the prison of the lord's mansion, he saw Ace and Dius who were companionship with Diamanti in a cage.

Ace was wearing Hailou stone handcuffs and leaning against the wall weakly. Dius was better than him, but he was also injured.

After Ace and Dius decided to defeat Liszt and came to become famous in the East China Sea, they made a big fuss in Cocosia City, trying to lure Liszt out.

Both of them are not bad at all. Ace also ate the natural devil fruit. Ordinary people are really not their opponents.

However, by chance, Ace hit the Gotham Savings Bank and met Krooke. When the two were fighting, the blood-armored guards from the lord's mansion came. How to deal with the devil fruit ability? The blood-armored guards have been trained. With the cooperation of each other, they directly put a large net made of sea tower stone on Ace.

When I met Aice, who was in Shanghai Loushi for the first time, I fell into trouble.

Then, there is the picture that Liszt sees now.

Diamanti's reaction was quite dull when he saw Liszt. Although he became a prisoner, Liszt did not treat him badly. After he cured his injuries, he sent him three meals a day on time, and his life was not threatened. Diamanti became calm after being unwilling to accept it at first.

If you are not as strong as others, you have to do something wrong. Isn’t that asking for trouble?

On the contrary, Ace and Dius were very excited. They both saw Liszt's appearance in the newspaper, so they recognized him at a glance.

"Damn it, let me out!" Ace shouted fiercely.

Liszt scratched his head and said, "Your name is Ace?"

Ace didn't answer, just stared at Liszt.

"Lt. General Cap is your grandfather, right?" Liszt asked.

Ace was stunned.

"I have a little friendship with Lieutenant General Cap, and I heard from him talk about you," Liszt said.

Dius looked at Ace in surprise, Lieutenant General Cap's name, no one knows the East China Sea, and no one knows it?

Is Ace actually Karp's grandson?

Even Diamanti, who was sleeping with his eyes closed opposite him, opened his eyes and looked at Ace.

"Tsk, I have nothing to do with him!" Ace turned his head and denied it.

"Is that so? Then you stay here!"

Liszt turned and walked out of the prison.

"Hey, let me out! You guy!"

Ace wanted to stand up, but she was weak all over and could only shout.

Bang!

The prison gate is closed.

"Bastard, damn!" Ace was so angry that he cursed.

"Does, please smash it for me!"

"Save it, Hailou Stone is the crystallization of the sea. It can be controlled by those who have the ability to restrain all the devil fruits. It is as hard as diamonds, and ordinary means cannot be damaged." Diamanti spoke.

"Who are you?"

Ace and Dius had long noticed Diamanti, who had feathers on their heads and were dressed in strange clothes, but no matter how they shouted, he didn't speak, and they thought he was dead!

"My name is Diamanti, one of the highest cadres of the Don Quixote family." Diamanti said proudly.

"Don Quixote family?" Dius gasped.

"Don Quixote family? What's that?" Ace was confused.

He and Luffy lived in the mountains and forests, living a paradise and peaceful life, and were not clear about the outside world.

"I have heard that it is one of the seven warriors of the king, the evil forces under the command of Tianyasha Doflamingo!" said Thoth.

"The king is under the seven warriors sea?"

"Don't you know? The King Xia Qiwuhai is the seven great pirates who are invited by the world government and have the right to legally plunder the great route!"

"I know, didn't you say that?"
