This battle did not break out in the end. After all, no one wanted to fight Gawain...
If it's just training and Gawain is forced not to use remote mode, then everything will still have to be fought.
But in actual combat, if Gawain doesn't fly the kite, he will feel uncomfortable all over, and when he flies the kite, everyone will feel uncomfortable...
Therefore, for actual combat, it is better to find some pirates with comparable strength and a bounty of about 500 million.
After all, Gawain still put his mind into one plan after another.
Three days later, they crossed the desert and passed several cities in Alabasta.
Finally, they arrived at the capital Albana.
Compared with other places, Albana does not show any signs of water shortage. It has rained almost every day in the past six months, and it rains heavily...
However, although there is no shortage of water, they are also short of food. On the one hand, the food in the capital has long been mobilized to surrounding cities.
On the other hand, the rain in Albana was comparable to a flood, and the waterlogged environment made it impossible for most plants to grow.
So, without further ado, the work-for-relief program started directly.
Before arriving in Albana, Franky had made various plans. He expected that in up to thirty-eight days, a single line with a length of more than 2,000 kilometers could be laid, running through the rainy areas and the Keke River.
Traina's Simple Railroad Comes!
In this process, they first laid the section from Albana to Cortlena, and then from Albana to the rainfield.
In this way, Gawain and his party can go to the port of Rain Land to board the Blackbird and continue heading towards the Upside Down Mountain.
In short, after arriving in Albana, everyone immediately started the railway laying plan.
Therefore, Gawain did not give Kobra the opportunity to hold a banquet.
A group of them directly participated in the laying work of the railway, just as Gawain once said.
His thunder metallurgy and Ace's flame can melt and cast steel of sufficient quality on a large scale and in batches, and at the same time, he can shape the steel into the shape of railroad tracks.
Just smile and become a flying rail transportation expert.
As for the hundreds of thousands of workers recruited by Gawain, Cobra managed to gather the number of people required by Franky in just three days. The work of those workers was to lay huge numbers of sleepers for the railway tracks and various devices to prevent sand and dust from sinking.
At the same time, Franky himself moved and developed the train's body on the giant crab.
While developing, he planned the terrain along the road, and he also received help from Alabasta travelers.
There are few scholars in Alabasta, so it is these travelers who are familiar with the topography and geography.
In short, all of them have been really busy since the day they arrived in Albana!
Gao Wen even regarded continuous thunder metallurgy as a physical exercise project. After a month, his strength has really improved considerably!
And in this month, they, a group of superhumans, actually led hundreds of thousands of ordinary humans in the pirate world who were in much better shape than ordinary people, and quickly built a railway that, although crude, could indeed pass smoothly.
Wire!
Today, there are still about seven days left before the completion time estimated by Franky. Gawain and his team also left Albana and laid the rails into the Gobi desert outside the rainy land.
The Gobi terrain is much better than the pure desert terrain, and the problem of difficulty in digging is not a problem at all in front of a group of superhuman beings.
Gawain continued his work as always. He sat on a metal rocking chair, using electricity along the way to energize the metal ingots that were constantly stacked next to him waiting to be smelted, transforming them into the required quality and shape.
Although Ace can heat and smelt metal, he has no ability to control its shape.
Therefore, Gawain's process is ranked behind Ace.
Logically speaking, Gao Wen should continue to listen to Kalifa telling him a series of recent information while continuing to metallurgize.
For example, in the past two months, a small-scale battle broke out between the Kaido Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates.
The reason is that Big Mom plans to let Kaido's daughter marry her son.
But this proposal was ruthlessly rejected by Kaido, so the two started fighting.
In addition to information on pirates, what achievements has the navy made recently, and who is at war with whom among the major affiliated countries of the World Government.
Information like this, more than three months after Xia Qi integrated the Black Bird Intelligence Department, became more and more abundant, so much so that Gawain could hardly read all the information.
In addition to this information, the Navy also responded to Gawain.
That's... about Zefa's response!
Regarding Gawain's invitation to Zefa to be a teacher on the ship, Zefa refused without mercy. He even said that even if he died, even if he jumped into the sea from the naval headquarters and drowned, he would not go on some inexplicable ship.
!
Even when Akainu personally invited him, he beat Akainu alive.
Akainu and Kizaru are Zefa's first disciples, and Zefa has special meaning to them.
If Zefa doesn't agree, then Akainu can't do anything, so Zefa's matter is put on hold for the time being.
When he heard the news, Gawain couldn't help but raise his head and said to Kalifa while he was doing metallurgy.
"I have already guessed Mr. Zefa's reply. It is basically impossible for the older generation like them to give me face unless I personally invite them.
Zefa is currently at the Navy Headquarters, right? So let’s do that…”
Gawain thought about it and motioned to Kalifa to write it down, only to hear him decide.
"After we return from the East China Sea, I will take the time to go to the Navy Headquarters in person and invite the old man who will never board my ship even if he dies at the headquarters.
If he were to serve as an instructor for a young man like Ace, with Ace's fruit ability, he would at least be able to become an admiral in combat power!
After all, this old man already has three admirals, two alternate admirals, and a series of disciples of outstanding lieutenant generals.
At present, there is no other master in the sea who has taught as many outstanding talents as he has taught!"
After the words fell, Gawain looked at Kalifa's record, and then he turned back and focused on metallurgy.
But less than half an hour after he had been working hard on metallurgy, another sudden thing interrupted his mental state!
I saw that at this moment, Princess Weiwei, who was dressed as a little girl, was being escorted to Gawain by Rob Lucci with a look of grievance on her face.
Looking at Weiwei, whose face was full of grievances and nervousness, Gawain couldn't help but squint his eyes. The girl in front of him was wearing a leather outfit, but the style of the clothes was no different from that of his group!
In addition, she cut her long hair that was loose when she was a princess slightly shorter and tied it into a smart blue ponytail.
Also, hanging on this girl’s waist is a huge yo-yo made of metal with a sharp edge...
Just by looking at this look, Gawain could guess what was going on in her mind!
Therefore, Gawain temporarily stopped his metallurgical work and came to Weiwei instead.
After squatting down slightly so that the height of his eyes was about the same as Weiwei's, Gawain asked Weiwei.
"Does your father know about your coming out?"
"Why?"
Weiwei didn't expect that this was the first question Gawain asked, so the draft she had been preparing for a long time was immediately disrupted.
Faced with Gawain's question, Weiwei asked Gawain intermittently.
"Lord Gawain, you...don't you even ask me why I came here?"
"Do I even need to ask? You girl was caught by Lu Qi all by yourself, and you were wearing a military uniform that didn't look like a princess at all!
Even a fool knows what you want to do, girl!
I only have one question about this, have you told your father about this?"
"Of course I told him!"
Weiwei immediately responded to Gawain.
"I'm just a child. No one allows me to escape from the palace. How can I escape from the palace?
Don’t worry, sir, my father will not worry about me. I have always been very independent since I was a child!
What's more, after hearing that I was coming to join your team, my father was extremely pleasantly surprised. The Black Bird Team is the best team in this sea..."
"stop……!"
Gawain directly interrupted Weiwei's flattery, and then his right hand turned into lightning and disappeared instantly.
When his right hand appeared again, he was holding a confused phone bug.
Gawain waved the phone bug towards Weiwei.
"I'll call your parents right now!"
While speaking, Gawain put on a dialing posture.
Seeing this, Weiwei was stunned.
She watched Gawain's movements with great difficulty, one number, two numbers... Until she was about to press all the phone numbers, Weiwei finally couldn't hold on any longer!
She quickly shouted to Gawain.
"Wait a minute, Gao Wensheng, I... I actually... you don't need to call me, I haven't told my father about this yet!
!”
After saying that, he watched Gawain stop dialing and turned to look at him seriously.
Weiwei lowered her head in shame.
"I admit, sir, I actually ran out secretly...
I didn't...didn't tell my father about this...
I don’t mean any harm, I just really want to go to sea with you!
On your ship are both the princess of the Mermaid Kingdom and the princess of the Music City.
Then, it shouldn’t be a problem if I have an extra princess from Alabasta, right?”
"The question is not whether you can come to my ship, but... you should at least tell your father about this.
Why……."
Gawain sighed leisurely and rubbed Weiwei's blue hair.
"This is the relationship between your father and me. If between two countries or families with a normal relationship, the princess and daughter of one of them run away with others...
That may even affect the national affairs of the entire country!”
Speaking of this, Gawain couldn't help but think of the little wolf girl's predecessor...
The big wolf girl quietly abandoned her fiancé and made a private marriage with the handsome white-haired boy from the Long family.
As a result, the world collapsed, dynasties changed, and a bloody... Game of Thrones was staged among the seven kingdoms of Westeros...
Who would have thought that it was all just because the big wolf girl didn’t leave a letter to her family when she eloped?
Anyway, after rubbing Weiwei's hair, Gawain said to her with a smile.
"From my perspective, I don't mind you boarding my ship. You are about the same age as Uta and Shirahoshi, so you two can probably play well.
However, have you really made up your mind? Can you really bear the feeling of leaving home?"
"certainly!"
Listening to Gawain's words, Weiwei, who was originally worried, felt a little relieved, and she quickly reassured Gawain.
"I have practiced martial arts since I was a child. Although I am definitely not as good as you adults, I am really not that bad!
As for the long trip, I have already prepared for it. Didn't I go to sea with my father before and meet you on Gaya Island?
So, my lord, I beg you...
Can I...can I join your ship?
I will not show off my temper, I will seriously perform my duties as a crew member, whether it is cleaning the deck or raising the sail, I will obey orders!"
Speaking of this, Weiwei looked at Gawain with a pitiful look.
Facing this look, Gawain sighed helplessly.
I saw him gently raising the phone bug.
"Let me tell your father. No matter what, you must at least tell your father about your whereabouts.
Just wait a moment!"
"Wait, Lord Gawain, don't call my father!"
Weiwei was suddenly shocked, and he quickly shouted to Gawain.
"I...I can really make the decision myself!
I know my father best. He definitely doesn’t want me to leave too far away. If I let him know, then I will almost be out of luck!
Sir, please, Sir, I..."
"Ahem!"
After listening to Weiwei's words, Gawain raised his fist and gave Weiwei a light and violent shock.
Then, he pushed Weiwei aside.
"Didn't you say you would obey my orders, but now you don't?
As for what you said you know your father..., do you think you really know your father, little girl?"
After saying that, Gawain left Weiwei where she was, and he took the phone bug and teleported to the farthest hill nearby.
After dialing Cobra's number, Gawain waited for a moment, and then, Cobra's cheerful and energetic greeting came from the phone bug's mouth.
"Dear Chief Gawain, my good friend, haha!
May I ask why you called me?
Didn’t we just say goodbye for six days?
Do you miss our Albana customs again?"
"Ahem!"
Facing Kobra's polite tone, Gawain said to him angrily.
"Cobra, Vivi is here with me, this matter..."
"oops?!
"
The moment he heard Gao Wen's words clearly, the phone in Gao Wen's hand suddenly showed an expression of surprise that he was overjoyed and trying desperately to hide!
I heard the phone bug then said to Gawain in surprise.
"This child Weiwei actually escaped from my palace without saying a word?
Oops, this really makes me anxious, hahahahaha~~.
I am really not a responsible father. My daughter ran away from home for five days, and I only found out about it from other people’s mouths!
And my guards, damn it, they should all go home and plant sweet potatoes!
Even a girl who is only fourteen years old can't stand it, so if I was shot, they probably wouldn't be able to react!
Please rest assured, Gao Wensheng, I will replace those irresponsible guards right away!
I……."
"etc……."
Gawain finally couldn't bear it anymore. He interrupted Cobra and asked him seriously.
"Cobra, I think you should pay attention to Weiwei's problem first. She wants to join my ship. What do you think..."
"Oops, why did my phone bug suddenly vomited!
What, sir, my phone bug is in poor health, I'm afraid we won't be able to have a good conversation!
What are you saying? I can't hear you clearly?
You said Weiwei joined your team?
She is such a willful child!
The child has grown up and I can no longer control it, so please take good care of her for me!
Hey hey hey, can you hear me?
Sir, I won't say any more. I'll hang up now. My phone bug has vomited again!
