Ship elves can improve the automation of the ship, and can also replace the work of the navigator and helmsman. After adding weapons and equipment, they can also improve the accuracy of the weapons. It can be said that one elf has multiple uses.
There are all kinds of technologies on the Machine Island, which are dazzling. Now Luffy and the others not only want to repair the ship, but also want to add some new things.
"If you want to strengthen it, the hull needs to be completely remodeled. This is not the cost of repair, but extra money." The boss is not a philanthropist, so he has to settle the accounts carefully.
"I want the latest weapons and equipment, I want to increase my flying ability, and if possible, I also want to add a somersault cloud to the ship." Luffy has been coveting the somersault cloud for a long time.
The residents of Mechanical Island all use somersault clouds to commute to and from get off work, which is so cool.
"Then we have to add money and at least triple the budget."
"Luffy, we don't have such a big budget, we can't buy so many things, we have no money."
"I want it." Luffy just wanted it.
Nami turned her face and yelled: "Don't think about it, we can only repair the boat. Bank loans have to pay interest. If we can't pay back, the boat will be mortgaged and auctioned. We must not be extravagant and wasteful. So we choose to repair it."
"But if someone else uses the best technology to build a battleship, what should we do? If someone else's technology is better than ours, what will happen to our ideals?" Luffy is not willful, but has seriously thought about it: "On the Machine Island
, I have seen too many powerful new technologies. Although they are very expensive, some people will definitely buy them. What if they use new technologies? The Pirate King Roger built a ship with Adam's Treasure Tree and endured the dangerous journey. What if
If we don’t improve, we will be surpassed by others.”
Everyone was silent. This is indeed the truth. We all have ideals. Why can't other people's ideals be realized, but our own can be realized?
Luffy believes that the best technology is needed. Previously in the Capital of Seven Waters, he wanted to use the Adam's Treasure Tree to build a sailboat comparable to the Pirate King, so that he could be qualified to compete for the status of the Pirate King.
But on Mechanical Island, he found that technology was advancing with each passing day, and the Adam tree was no longer the best material. The best ship was not in his hands, but in the hands of others. What should he do? Then others would be qualified, but he would not have the chance.
.
Everyone also realizes that if others keep riding the waves and their own ship runs aground, they will not be able to realize their ideals.
But the problem is that they have no money. Do they really have to carry debts to pursue their ideals?
It would have gone smoothly. Although the adventure on Sky Island was dangerous, it was also very rewarding. I got enough gold to purchase the Adam's Treasure Tree. Unfortunately, because the pirates were not protected, all the gold was lost in the Seven Waters Capital, resulting in heavy losses.
If Luffy wants to become the Pirate King, he must surpass others, not only in determination, but also in the best ship.
What if the best ship falls into the hands of someone else?
Luffy is also seriously considering how to become the Pirate King, wanting to catch up with powerful enemies, but also thinking about not being caught up by others.
Combat power can still be improved, but it is difficult to improve ships. However, with the development of science and technology, the technological content of ships is also improving. This year's ships are more advanced than last year's ships, and next year's ships are more advanced than this year's ships. When the time comes,
If you fly, you will fall behind.
Everyone is silent, feeling that the cost of ideals is getting higher and higher? In this case, it will be difficult for them to maintain their advantage, and they may even be surpassed.
How can they achieve their ideals if they are surpassed?
"Do you want to become the Pirate King?" the boss asked.
"Did you see it?" Nami thought to herself that this was the first time that Luffy didn't shout a slogan and others saw it.
"Yes, I am the man who wants to become the Pirate King." Luffy admitted carelessly.
"Haha, you young people really have ideals. But I have to say something, uncle, if you want to become the Pirate King, you need other people to admit it. This road is not easy to walk. No one saw Roger the Pirate King boarding the Grand Line.
The end point, but everyone believed that Roger reached the end point. In the end, even the navy believed that he was the Pirate King. Everyone believed in something they had never seen. This is because everyone needs a myth. And now you want to be
One Piece needs to meet everyone’s needs. Just landing at the end is useless,” the boss said.
"..." Does everyone think this is the case?
But it is true, there is no video data, no evidence to prove Roger's feat, and there are very few witnesses.
In fact, the Navy can completely deny Roger's authenticity without using propaganda.
No one has proven Roger's achievements, so why should everyone believe a rumor that they have never seen?
It really makes sense. They have never met Roger, but everyone believes that Roger is the Pirate King, and everyone admits it.
"Yes, why do you believe Roger is the Pirate King? We have never seen it, so why do you believe it?" Chopper was said to be dumbfounded.
"Because that's what everyone else said." Nami said.
Usopp said: "Then the Navy still claims that it is righteous, why don't we believe it?"
Yes, it’s all what others say. Why do some believe it and some don’t?
"We have seen the navy. They are not good people, and of course we cannot trust their justice." Nami said.
"This further proves that seeing is believing and hearing is false. This is true for the navy, and it should be the same for pirates. Why do we firmly believe in Roger? Obviously we have never met Roger." Usopp said.
Everyone was dumbfounded, it really made sense, so what on earth did they believe?
Luffy's eyes widened and he looked at his boss in confusion.
"Because everyone believes in what they believe. The reason why we believe that Roger is the Pirate King is because everyone believes that we can achieve great things just like us. So we have never met Roger, but we have no doubt about him. In fact, we are not imagining
The dead Roger, but believe in the Roger in our hearts, and believe in ourselves in our hearts." "If you don't believe it, tell me what you think of Roger and see if it's the same."
"Roger is the Pirate King." Luffy said immediately.
"Roger's swordsmanship is very strong and his strength is very strong." Zoro said.
"Roger must have a lot of treasures, all hidden at the end of the Grand Line." Nami thought about wealth.
"Roger must be very generous, and he must have a big appetite. He eats six meals a day." Sanji said.
Chopper said: "He must be a very gentle person, friendly to everyone, and can make everyone respect him from the bottom of their hearts."
Usopp said: "No matter what Roger is like, he must have advantages worth imitating and learning, and it is a goal we can achieve."
"You see, everyone has different opinions. But one thing is that everyone accepts Roger because you believe you can become the second Roger. There is no blood barrier between you and Roger.
Blocked by faith, the only thing that prevents you from becoming Roger is your own strength, so you believe that as long as you work hard to improve your level, you can finally become Roger. So Roger is the Pirate King, and everyone is the Pirate King. This is what everyone can believe
Reasons for Roger’s feats.”
Everyone is the Pirate King?!
this is okay too?
Everyone thinks that this reason is acceptable? But there is no problem with logic. If Roger was a high-level Celestial Dragon, no one would believe it.
"Think carefully, why do you want to be the Pirate King instead of the Five Old Stars?" The boss asked a very practical question, why everyone wants to be the Pirate King instead of the Five Old Stars.
That's because if you want to become a Five Old Star, you must first overcome the bloodline barrier, which can block 99% of people.
But there is no problem with Roger. He is reckless and 20% of people can target him.
As for the remaining 79% of ordinary people, the sea has nothing to do with them.
Everyone does not believe in the justice of the Five Old Stars, even if they have seen the positive role of the navy in the sea. But they firmly believe in Roger, who has never seen them. This is a double standard.
It’s not Roger who believes in him, but he who believes that he can become Roger. It’s himself who believes in himself.
