Eld grabbed his weapon, a big iron hammer that specialized in ironmaking, and led his brothers to block Ace's gang on the street.

"Fire Fist Ace, I'm Elder! Take me a hammer!"

When Elder saw Ace, he didn't talk nonsense, and stepped forward and hit him.

The dwarves are not tall, with an average of 100cm, but their strength is quite terrifying. It is said that some powerful dwarves are stronger than giants. Elder is one of the "dwarves". The big hammer he carries, just the hammer surface, is taller than him, weighing 10 tons, and it sounds like that, just like that, the essence is concentrated.

When Ace saw a sledgehammer suddenly hit, he was startled. His body turned into elementalization and turned into flames, and he started fighting with Elder.

The captain has taken action, so the crew will naturally not be polite.

Elder's Hammer Pirates and Ace's Spade Pirates were fired in the back street of the Water Capital, and they were invincible.

After learning about the mayor of the Water Capital, Esbagu, immediately asked the foreman Bari to take the new foreman Luci and Kaku to stop him.

Don’t underestimate these boatmen. It is common to work with thousands of kilograms of wood. It is absolutely fine to deal with ordinary pirates. Without some force, how can the Water Capital survive on the great route where pirates are raging?

Frankie also heard about it, but he brought people to him and found that the two groups had been persuaded by Barry and the others.

Because the Hammer Pirates and the Spade Pirates were all bought by the Water Capital, and they offended these ship workers, who built their ships?

If you want others, you will naturally not be arrogant.

However, neither side was afraid and made an appointment to leave the Water Capital and go to the sea to fight again, and vow to decide the winner.

After leaving the Water Capital, Esbagu would not care about it. He would not regret how many of these pirates died. Are pirates worthy of sympathy?

They have caused trouble in the water capital a lot.

Pirates are the cancer on the sea!

Of course, the business of pirates is also a business. Aesbagu looked down on pirates, but he would not refuse to do business with them. On the contrary, he also welcomed doing business with pirates. These guys make money quickly, and often those who make money quickly are very generous when spending money, and are much more refreshing than those businessmen who like to be petty.

Esbagu took the Spade Pirates to visit the shipyard and see the existing ships.

All kinds of ships, big and small, are dazzling.

"Is there no such ship here that can run without sailing?" Ace couldn't help asking.

The small ship had already sunk with the storm, but its ability to travel in the windless belt was still fresh in Ace's memory. If he had such a ship, where would the world not go?

Esbagu raised his eyebrows and glanced at Ess. Although Carrera Shipbuilding Company had already started producing steamships, all of those ships were officially pre-ordered by the world government and supplied to the navy, and they were not allowed to sell them to the outside world. Therefore, not many people knew about steamships, let alone the other party was still a pirate?

"I've seen it in the East China Sea." Ace explained.

Esbagu suddenly realized that in the world, in addition to Carrera Shipbuilding Company, there is also the Fearless Shipyard under Liszt, which can produce steamships. He has seen such ships at the Thriller Bark Amusement Park. Their appearance is like steamships produced by Carrera Shipbuilding Company, but they do not emit black smoke. I heard that they are not using coal mines, but a new energy source.

"That kind of ship not only requires coal burning, but also skilled boilers. The cost is expensive. A steamship is three to five times that of a sailboat. The loss of coal burning is also a considerable amount when sailing every day," Esbagu explained.

In short, you can't afford to play!

Not to mention pirates, even the navy requires masts and sails to be installed on steamers. The boiler will only be burned when the wind is against the wind and there is no wind. At other times, there is no difference between it and sailing boats. There is only one reason, it is too expensive!

"As soon as the boiler is turned on, the funds are burning!"

This is the evaluation of steamships within the navy. The forward-looking navy knows the value of steamships, but the funds do not allow it.

With the advent of the era of great pirates, the navy had to expand its manpower, and if it expanded its manpower, it would have to pay!

Do you want naval soldiers to generate electricity with love, dreams, and justice?

Not to mention salary, food and accommodation are all the money.

The Navy's funds are already very tight. Every year, most of the heavenly gold paid by the world government franchisees will be handed over to the Tianlong people, while a small part of them will be funded by the world government's activities.

Within the world government, there is more than one navy, and everyone is watching that little funding, which is not enough.

Therefore, although the majority of the Navy hates the Seven Warriors Sea, the top leaders still acquiesced to the existence of the Seven Warriors Sea. Even a general like Sakasky, who hates evil, refuses to abolish the Seven Warriors Sea system after becoming a marshal, mainly because 30% of the materials robbed from the Seven Warriors Sea will be handed over to the Navy. This amount of funds can greatly alleviate the navy's dilemma.

In addition, the Navy branch colluded with pirates and earned extra money. The headquarters is clear about the world government, and it is also known to the world government, but everyone turns a blind eye and will not care as long as there is no big mess.

The root cause is the problem of naval funding.

The new technology of sea trains and steamships is just about funds. Sea trains are fine, and they can make money from tickets. What about warships? Can they take them out to attract customers?

In this way, the steamships seem to be quite useless in the navy, and most of the time they can only be parked in the port as decorations.

This is also why Carrera Shipbuilding Company can build steamships, but it still insists on building sailboats.

From the feedback from the Navy, Esbagu knew that sailing ships are still the mainstream of the times, and even the Navy cannot afford to play with steamships, and other forces are probably the same.

If you want to play with steamships, you must first have a coal mine. The coal mine is not there, it requires exploration. In the world where the sea area accounts for 90% of the area, there are islands everywhere. Where are so many coal mines for everyone to dig!

When Esbagu quickly sold the sea train and steam engine technology to Liszt, he saw this. Without coal mines and power, what's the use of making it?

But Liszt was lucky and found another kind of energy, otherwise he would have bought a bunch of waste paper.

After hearing this, Ace had to give up the idea of ​​buying a steamship and defeated five or six well-known pirates in a row. The Spade Pirates also had a small savings and spent 150 million Baileys to buy a ready-made three-masted sailboat. The price must be a premium.

Because if you want to buy a ship at Carrera Shipbuilding Company, you need to book in advance, and Ace and the others definitely don’t have the time to wait for a new ship to be built, so you can only buy a ship booked by others, and the price will naturally be higher than the usual price.

After getting the new ship, the Spade Pirates set sail, and the Hammer Pirates came to the Magic Triangle. The two sides formed a formation and then continued the fight that they had not finished.

"What's going on over there?"

Since seeing the three huge black shadows in the sea that day, Guina has become interested and has taken Bei Xuan, Nan Que, and a group of pirates who have subdued them during this period and searched in the Magic Triangle.

But she has never gained anything.

The lookout hand was a guy like a skinny monkey. He was carrying a sniper rifle and climbed up the lookout flexibly, saying, "Captain, it seems that there are pirates fighting in front of him!"

There were not many crew members on Guina's ship, only a dozen. Before, they were either captains or cadres, and they all wanted to steal Guina and the others, but they were defeated by her. Guina didn't want to take any crew members, but Nanque made a suggestion, believing that they would not have to go to three people in their future battles, and the manpower would be exhausted!

Guina thought of the war in the Kingdom of Flowers, nodded and handed over this matter to Nanque. Nanque knew Guina's temper, so not everyone took it away. She picked the crew on the ship and had both strength and character.

With these people, Guina is indeed much more relaxed, and she can focus on practicing swordsmanship.
