It is also a very interesting ship. It has the characteristics of a sailing ship and has an auxiliary runner similar to the one used by the Navy for traveling in windless zones.
At the same time, there were two huge snakes dragging them along.
A whole triple powerhouse!
Although the original book did not say how fast this ship was, if these three power sources are used together, it will not be much slower than Sean's new warship.
Even in the windless zone, where the sail power cannot be used, the speed of the snake is much faster than that of the Navy's standard warships when the auxiliary wheels on both sides are towed by the snake.
But it's a pity...
What they encountered today was...
Sean's Ironclad!
On the deck, there were all women holding cold weapons, mainly bows and arrows.
At this moment, all of their faces were filled with surprise, because the armored warship opposite, flying the navy flag, was too fast.
Even faster than their ship, the Perfume Dragon.
"What is that and why is it so fast?"
"This...if you read it correctly, the entire body of this warship is made of steel, right?"
"Hey, now is the time to care about this? If we continue, we can bump into each other..."
"Well... why don't we avoid it? After all, we might not be able to hit such a big steel warship!!"
"Why don't you go call Lady Snake Princess!"
Bang~
Just when everyone was a little nervous.
At the palace-like cabin at the rear, the door was suddenly pushed open.
A tall woman came out with two women who looked like little giants.
"Who is disturbing my nap?"
"Lady Snake Princess!!"
A group of soldiers quickly approached and shouted.
"what happened?"
"A navy warship is heading towards us and is in the channel where the two ships will collide."
The Nine Snakes combatants answered truthfully.
"Blocking the waterway?"
"Just knock it away!"
"this..."
The soldier who reported the report had a strange expression on his face.
I want to say something, but I don't seem to dare to say it.
Hancock frowned, while Sandasonia on the side took the telescope from another combatant and looked forward.
"Sister, there is indeed a navy warship. It is close to the size of a large warship, but it is a little strange."
"This warship seems to be made entirely of steel!"
Made of steel?
Can a boat made of this thing float on the water?
However, Sandasonia also understood what was going on with the expressions of the soldiers just now.
Collide...
It really can’t be hit!
A wooden ship collided with an iron ship.
Only if it can be bumped into can there be ghosts.
"Sister, this..."
"Keep moving forward. I am very interested in this warship. Once you capture it, take it back to Nine Snakes Island!"
"Uh...sister, after all, that is a navy warship, and I'm afraid it is a new type of navy warship. It should be very important. If we take action..."
"It doesn't matter, no matter what I do, I will be forgiven, because I am so beautiful!"
As he spoke, Hancock flipped up his long hair.
Suddenly, all the warriors on Nine Snakes Island had hearts shining in their eyes, and they kept shouting for Lord Snake Princess.
Sandasonia and Marigold covered their foreheads one after another.
My sister...
It starts again!
If you want to say whether Hancock is qualified as an emperor, he is definitely qualified.
After all these years
, under Hancock's management, no pirates dared to go to Kuja Island to cause trouble anymore, and because Hancock became the Shichibukai.
The navy won't come here to cause trouble.
It can be said that today's Nine Snake Island is the safest period in history.
However, this arrogant and willful character...
Sometimes even the two of them find it too much.
But, since my sister has said so, they also know that there is nothing they can do to persuade her.
After sighing slightly, he commanded the warriors of Nine Snakes to get ready for battle.
As for whether he will be counterattacked by the navy?
They are not worried about this at all. After all, their sister's ability is very special. It is normal to defeat all the navy with one move.
You know, there are not many people in this world who can resist the power of Hancock's fruit, even in the navy.
In the original work, even the elite Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel had to resort to self-mutilation to resist, let alone an ordinary sailor.
Just like the overlord color, it is a strategic weapon for clearing out miscellaneous soldiers on a large scale.
------
A few kilometers away, on Sean's armored warship.
Sean looked at the pirate ship getting closer and closer, and suddenly thought of a question.
If I remember correctly, the height of Boya Hancock in the original book seems to be 1.91 meters, which is ten centimeters taller than me...
Although I am currently 1.81cm tall, in the world of pirates...
Okay, that's right, dwarf!
Um?
Suddenly, Sean noticed Rayleigh and Xia Qi beside him.
Both of their faces looked a little weird at this moment, and even Xia Qi's expression seemed to show a hint of worry.
Sean also thought about it.
The relationship between these two people and Hancock is not shallow, especially Xia Qi...
The relationship is even deeper.
after all...
Xia Qi is the previous emperor of Amazon Lily!
This is interesting. It seems that besides meeting each other today, there is more to gain?
"Speaking of which, Nine Snake Island has been a bit lawless recently. According to Navy records, Hancock even attacked Navy warships many times. Although she did not kill any sailors, many sailors were killed by her using the ability of the sweet fruit.
Became a stone statue."
"It is said that the headquarters spent a lot of effort to restore the sailors who were turned into stone statues..."
Sean muttered to himself.
When Lei Li and Xia Qi heard this, their hearts suddenly skipped a beat.
This kid doesn't really want to kill Hancock, does he?
After all, Sean has a precedent of killing the Shichibukai without the approval of the headquarters...
Especially Xia Qi, the look of worry on her face became even heavier.
If something happens to Hancock, then the entire Nine Snakes Island may be doomed. The women on the entire island will not be intimidated by Hancock...
Do you think the other pirates will be interested?
Guess again, will those human traffickers be tempted?
I'm afraid it won't be long before Amazon Lily's people will continue to appear in the population auctions of the Chambord Islands, right?
As the Amazon Lily Emperor of the previous generation, can Xia Qi not worry?
"Sean, Hancock may have a bit of a willful temper, but she's actually not bad, and she's also one of the Shichibukai who are professed by the World Government. It doesn't seem right to attack her, right?"
"Besides, it's a bit ugly for you, a grown man, to bully a little girl..."
After seeing Xia Qi's expression, Lei Li quickly spoke.
"Rayleigh...how old am I?"
"You must be almost 17, right?"
"Well, he's only 17 in a month. How old is Hancock?"
"27, right?"
"That's it, what do you mean by calling me a grown man?
Bullying a little girl like him?"
"Well.."
Riley was stunned for a moment.
In the world of pirates, adults are considered adults when they are 17 years old. This is why in the original work, Luffy and Ace did not go to sea until they were 17 years old.
And Sean is still one month shy of 17, which means...
This guy is simply a minor!!!
What about Hancock?
A proper adult, and already 27, almost 28.
To use Sean's words from his previous life, it would be Ben San...
So, it is really inappropriate to say that Sean, a grown man, bullies a little girl.
"Speaking of which, I didn't originally plan to take action against Hancock. After all, there are pirates worse than her in the sea, and it's still long before it's her turn."
"But, people have brought it to me. I can't turn around and run away. I have no choice but to take action!"
"The Shichibukai should not exist in the first place. What's more, Hancock often takes action against the navy, arresting him and imprisoning him for three to five years for some correction and education. That's what it should be." qs
When Xia Qi heard this, she rolled her eyes.
Are you still going to be locked up for three to five years and given corrective education?
Let alone three to five years, just one year...
Are you afraid that Nine Snake Island will be gone?
At this time, Xia Qi also heard the meaning of some words.
This guy is deliberately threatening us.
No, it should be said that he was deliberately threatening himself, fearing that his previous identity would already be known to him.
Does he really know everything?
But that's not right. If you really know everything, why do you need to set up an intelligence department and help train him in the professional skills of an intelligence agent?
Contradictory, too contradictory.
This man is full of contradictions!
"Brother Sean, you don't have to act. Just tell me, what price do you want me to pay?"
"Hey...my acting skills are so bad, will this be seen through?"
"How about a year? Rayleigh and I will help you work for a year!"
"Then how about deducting two years from Hancock's sentence?"
...
Minus two years?
3-5 years becomes 1-3 years?
This still makes no sense, okay?!
"What do you want?"
"I want...your intelligence network on the Grand Line!"
"impossible!"
"Don't worry, just letting Hancock go this time is really not enough. How about I add more?"
Xia Qi's intelligence network is definitely the strongest in the world of pirates in the intelligence community.
Even the World Government P can't compare, and the intelligence department of the Navy is far behind.
Because this thing does not rely on the ability of one person, but requires a long time of deployment, the infiltration of a large number of senior intelligence personnel into various organizations, as well as intelligence stations spread across various islands, etc., to form.
Although Lu Qi and others are also very capable, it is also very difficult to develop the intelligence network like Xia Qi.
Even if it could be done, it would probably take at least ten years.
Obviously, Sean doesn't have that much time!
Therefore, the simplest way is to find a way to take over a powerful and ready-made intelligence network.
The one in Xia Qi's hand is obviously the best choice.
After all, Sean does not have access to the intelligence systems of the world government, navy, or revolutionary army.
The original plan was to slowly figure out a solution over the next three months.
But now it seems that Hancock's appearance happened to be just the right time to help him advance his original plan a lot...
"In addition to sparing Hancock, I can provide protection for Nine Snake Island
, even the world government will not be able to threaten that place in the future.”
"But correspondingly, under these conditions, an intelligence network alone seems to be insufficient!"
"Therefore, in exchange, in addition to the intelligence network, I also need to select a group of warriors from Nine Snake Island to serve under my command to form a female soldier corps."
...
...
Xia Qi was struggling in her heart.
If he really wanted to say that, he was absolutely unwilling to hand over the entire intelligence network to Sean.
but...
I am already over 60 years old...
Although you have good looks, it doesn't mean you can live longer.
If it can be exchanged for a guarantee for Nine Snake Island, it won't be a loss.
only...
How can I be sure that Sean is capable of doing what he says?
Even if he really has the ability to do it, how can he be sure that he will not burn bridges after getting his intelligence network?
"Report, contact is still 2 nautical miles away!"
At this moment, a sailor ran up to Sean, saluted and reported.
"Xia Qi, time is running out!"
"I can't give you an intelligence network, but I can provide you with a full range of free intelligence services!"
"Ah..."
Sean was a little disdainful.
Do you look that stupid?
This thing is only useful if you have it in your own hands.
Otherwise, it makes no sense!
"Command, all main guns are loaded, start calibration, target the pirate ship of the Nine Snakes Pirates, the Perfume Cobra!"
"Yes, Lieutenant General!"
After a while, the three huge triple 280mm main guns on the warship began to rotate slowly.
Soon after, everyone was targeting Nine Snakes' perfume, the Serpent.
Looking at the huge triple main gun, Xia Qi instinctively felt a hint of threat. This thing is definitely much more terrifying than the artillery on the large navy warships. Many, many more!
I saw Sean slowly raising his right hand, preparing to give the order to fire.
"I agreed, but I can't give it to you all at once. I can only give you the intelligence network of the first half of the great sea and land. The New World side will have to wait until I am sure that you have the ability to keep your promise before transferring it to you!"
"Can!"
After Xia Qi pondered for a while, she thought of a way.
Instead of handing it over all at once, give half of it first.
But Sean didn't really care.
This result is already in line with my expectations.
After all, I don't need the information from the New World for the time being.
"Keep moving forward and prepare to pick up the ship!"
"you..."
After hearing Sean's order, Xia Qi suddenly became angry.
If it’s not already agreed, how can you still...
"Don't worry, I won't touch Hancock, but this will prevent me from going over to meet him and make him look familiar, right?"
"Besides, Hancock's willful temper needs to be cured, right?"
"Otherwise, do you think she would be willing to let the warriors of Nine Snakes come to serve on my side?"
Okay, this is really impossible.
After all, no one on Nine Snakes Island knows Xia Qi except the older generation.
The new generation of soldiers will not come to serve in the Sixteenth Branch just because of the deal between Xia Qi and Sean.
Not to mention Hancock!
never mind...
Just treat it, maybe it's not such a bad thing for Hancock or Amazon Lily.
