Unless you are the protagonist of destiny, otherwise, it would be foolish to have an ideal that is divorced from reality.
Usually, people who only talk about ideals are the type who have an extreme lack of understanding of the world.
When strength is insufficient, see the reality clearly.
And when the strength is sufficient, it overturns reality.
Only then will you truly gain the qualifications to talk about your ideals.
Because, as you rule the world, you can already turn your ideals into reality.
It is at this time that ideal equals reality.
Therefore, Sean didn't think there was anything wrong with Akainu's behavior in O'Hara.
On the contrary, if Aokiji takes the lead and lets the people on that boat go, the consequences are likely to be ten times, a hundred times, or even a thousand times more civilian casualties.
Perhaps Aokiji can gain a good reputation, and the bad reputation caused by greater casualties in the future will all be attributed to the World Government.
But isn’t this just another kind of selfishness?
Those in power must have the awareness to bear the bad reputation, and will insist on making the most correct choice even if they are insulted by everyone in the world.
At this point, Aokiji is much worse than Akainu.
"I hope she can figure it out!"
Sean sighed slightly as he walked out of the office.
------
Ten days later.
Akainu brought more than 300 sailors to the 16th branch.
If so, why did he come so quickly?
The reason is...
This guy was so impatient that he directly robbed Taotu's warship.
Therefore, at this moment, two identical ironclad ships appeared in the port of the central island.
"General Sakaski!"
"Is this... my ironclad ship?"
Walking down the gangway, Akainu looked at another warship not far away and asked excitedly.
"Yes, Admiral Sakaski, it is exactly the same as Vice Admiral Peach Rabbit's ship. Are you satisfied?"
"Satisfied, so satisfied!"
The more I look at Akainu, the more I like it.
Although it was exactly the same as Taotu's boat, after all, this boat belonged to me, so I was naturally excited.
The luster of metal, three huge triple-mounted naval guns, plus secondary guns arranged on both sides.
It simply fulfilled all of Akainu’s fantasies about warships.
But if Sean had to say it, it would be...
Does this satisfy you?
If you really want to say it, this thing is the cruiser level in my previous life. When will I build a battlecruiser or even a battleship?
Doesn't that scare you?
"General Sakaski, do you need me to help train your people?"
"No, half of the 300 people on my ship are Taotu's people. On the way here, my people have learned from them for ten days, so there should be no problem with the operation!"
Akainu waved his hand directly, indicating that he didn't need it.
In order to save time, so that I can command this warship as soon as possible.
Just like what he said, he asked his subordinates to learn how to control this new type of warship from Taotu's subordinates every day along the way.
"But Sean, I want to ask you something!"
"what is the problem?"
"This kind of warship uses Coke as fuel. I heard Taotu say that she has found a way to buy Coke in large quantities, but now there are not many goods received on various islands. They are basically just the previous inventory, and those who produce Coke
The company, whether it is the boss, employees, or production equipment, is now missing.”….
"General Sakaski, are you worried about the subsequent fuel supply?"
"Yes!"
Akainu nodded.
We have warships, but if we don’t have fuel, wouldn’t they be just like a big pile of scrap metal?
"Don't worry about this. After all, once the new warships are used in large quantities, the fact that Coke is used as fuel will sooner or later be known to other forces. If someone tampered with Coke at that time, wouldn't it directly block our navy?
neck?"
"So, that Coke company didn't suddenly disappear, but was secretly acquired by me and moved to the East China Sea."
"At the same time, I have kept the formula of Coke a secret and will not sell it to anyone else. Even if pirates steal our armored ship, it will be just a lump of iron without Coke."
"As for the subsequent fuel supply, the headquarters can purchase it directly from me, and the price will even be cheaper than before. After all, this stuff will not be used for profit in the future, but will be exclusively for our navy."
Hearing this, Akainu's eyes lit up.
It turned out to be Sean.
Yes, he was thoughtful enough and solved the problem early.
At the same time, Coke can also be used to prevent the ironclad ship from falling into the hands of pirates, causing them to use the ironclad ship to attack the navy.
"But if you package up that company, all the employees and the boss, and buy them all, you'll spend a lot of money, right?"
"If this is not profitable yet..."
Akainu thought about it and decided that he should let Sean earn some money, otherwise it would be unjustifiable.
"It's okay. It's not completely unprofitable. After all, employees' wages and equipment maintenance still cost money. But it's 20% cheaper than before, so that's still no problem."
"As for the money to buy this company, that's not important. I'm not short of money at the moment!"
"Besides, isn't it the right thing to contribute to the Navy?"
Sean's righteousness was awe-inspiring, and Akainu was moved to a complete mess.
What a comrade!!!
However, he won't know...
The actual cost of Coke, even if you add in daily equipment maintenance, employee wages, etc.
As long as the number of ironclad ships increases in the future, this cost will never be higher than 30% of the supply price.
That's right, the supply price here refers to the price that Sean will supply to the Navy in the future.
It is still a huge profit.
At the same time, Sean has asked there to try to produce a batch of cola with a lower sugar content and a slightly adjusted formula.
After a series of tests by French, it was found that this low-sugar cola would not only reduce the cruising range of the warship by 23%, but also reduce the life of the power system by 38%.
This further reduces the performance of the already castrated foreign trade version and reduces its final power system life.
The most important thing is that the cost of Coke can be reduced by 17%.
It can almost be understood that this is a kind of inferior fuel...
As for why he did this, Sean also had his own considerations.
Unless one day, the entire navy is in control and can be independent from the world government.
At that time, Sean will completely replace the navy with its own version and provide genuine Coke fuel.
Otherwise, what will be supplied to the Navy will only be foreign trade versions of warships and inferior cola fuel...
After the handover was completed, Akainu did not stay long, but left quickly.
He couldn't wait to personally command this armored warship that was completely his own.
After he left, Sean came to the branch's underground research institute.
------
"Letus, how is the progress of that project?"
"Lieutenant General, we have made a batch of experimental bombs, but we need ability users to test them before we can determine the final effect!"
"A devil fruit user...how many are needed?"
"If we want to conduct a comprehensive test, it will require about ten people!"
"This won't work. There are too many. What if it's not a comprehensive test?"
"Then two people should be enough, but this can only test some basic items!"
"Is that so... I'll think of a way. If it doesn't work, I'll catch two for you and conduct a basic test first, and then slowly test them in actual combat."
"Yes, Lieutenant General!"
Leitus nodded.
He also understood how difficult it was to find ten Devil Fruit users.
Because the ability users used for testing all ended up dead without any surprise.
So you definitely can’t use your own people, otherwise there would be no trouble.
It's okay to let Sean capture two pirates with abilities, but he can capture ten...
It's definitely not something that can be done in the short term.
However, Tres didn't know that Sean was making a very bad idea at this moment.
There is a place where a large number of ability users are imprisoned.
Wouldn't it be a pity if I didn't take advantage of this?
The only problem is that although I can let Bruno do the work quietly, the key is...
There were so many people inside, how could Sean know who had Devil Fruit abilities?
Why don't you let Bruno go in and ask questions one by one?
So, you have to think of a way yourself.
Got it!
Suddenly thinking of something, Sean left the underground research institute directly and returned to his office.
Then he picked up the phone bug.
BLU BRU BRU...
"I am Sengoku!"
"Old man from the Warring States Period, I am Sean!"
"Sean, you bastard, I was just trying to settle a score with you. You are causing trouble everywhere every day!"
"Old man, am I okay?"
"Hmph, you're lucky this time. If they really want to pursue it over there, even I won't be able to save you!"
"Okay old man, I'm looking for you this time for other reasons!"
"You bastard, what else are you planning?"
Warring States eyes widened.
Every time Sean comes to look for him, nothing good happens.
I immediately became alert.
"I want to visit Impel Down. Is that okay?"
"Impel Castle...what are you doing there?"
"There are no pirates in the East China Sea now. It's a bit boring. I've always heard of Impel Down, but I've never been there. I'm curious and want to visit it, right?"
"What on earth are you planning, kid? I don't believe you are just here for a visit!"
"Okay, I'm going to find some pirates and ask for some information. Aren't all the pirates I caught in the East China Sea sent in? Recently I found out that some of them seem to know Bucky's whereabouts. I have to
Go and interrogate."
"Bucky?"….
Warring States recalled it, but he had no impression.
"Yes, a pirate from the East China Sea, but he has now escaped from the East China Sea and is missing. I just recently learned that this guy, like Shanks, is a trainee crew member of the original Roger Pirates."
"As for his identity, I think old Garp has an impression of him as a red-nosed pirate."
"I didn't know about this before, so I didn't pay much attention to this guy, so I didn't interrogate the captured pirates too much. Now..."
"Old man, do you think I can let such a big fish go?"
"After all, he escaped from the East China Sea. If I don't catch him myself, wouldn't it be a stain on my naval career?"
Sean kept talking about what was true and what was false.
Yes, it is true that Bucky escaped from the East China Sea and is currently missing.
It is also true that Bucky is a trainee crew member of the Roger Pirates.
As for the pirates he once captured in the East China Sea, as long as they were alive, they were all sent to Impel Down. This is still true.
Only Sean's true purpose...
is fake!
If this is true or false, even the Warring States Period would not doubt it too much.
After all, Sean is a Navy supernova
, although he often causes trouble, what can he have any bad intentions?
Warring States thought about it and felt that it was quite reasonable, so he agreed.
"I agree to this. I will say hello to Magellan, but don't cause trouble for me inside. If something goes wrong over there, it will cause a lot of trouble."
"Don't worry, old man. I only talk and don't do anything. Even if I want to torture you, I'll let the people from Impel Down City come. How about that?"
"Hmph, I hope so!"
Obviously, Warring States could only believe three points of Sean's guarantee at most.
However, with Magellan here, I believe Sean can't do anything big.
After hanging up the phone, Zhan Guo comforted himself.
On the other side, Sean raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"It's done!"
"Enter Impel Down and find an excuse to get all the prisoners' information from Magellan."
"After confirming the precise location of the target ability user and their respective prison cells, then pretend to complete this sightseeing trip!"
"Just leave it to Bruno in the end!"
Outside, it is indeed impossible to find ten pirates with devil fruit abilities in a short time.
But in Impel Down City...
It's so easy!
You don't even need to go to both sides of the underground. I'm afraid just the top one or two floors will be enough.
Besides, those guys on the sixth underground floor cannot be wasted easily.
Those are all things Sean plans to use to take away Devil Fruits after he takes control of the Navy in the future. After all, many of them possess some very powerful Devil Fruits.
