Chapter 169: King Riku Is Upset
After dealing with Scarlet, Hammer walked into Lance's hospital room.
Looking at Lance who was bandaging his wound, Iron Hammer laughed.
"Lance, you amaze me. A shooter like you can actually rush up and engage someone at close range."
"very good, very powerful."
What else could Lance say?
In the situation at that time, if he didn't shoot at close range, he and Ghost Spider would not be able to defeat the tyrant in the form of a pangolin.
And recently, he was holding a fire in his heart, and that was because of Mihawk.
As a result, he lost his original rationality and ran up to fight with a gun.
"Lance, what do you think of Dressrosa's defensive strength?"
Lance looked at Tie Hammer's dull gaze. After spending so much time with Tie Hammer, he immediately understood what Tie Hammer meant.
This battle made Iron Hammer worried about Dressrosa, no, it should be said that he was worried about Princess Scarlet.
Although he didn't know why Hammer behaved like this, Lance knew that Hammer was serious.
"It's very weak. Although the Royal Army can play a defensive role against ordinary pirate gangs, once it encounters today's situation, Dressrosa has no other choice but to ask for help from the navy. If the rescue is not timely, it will be very dangerous. "
This sentence completely touched the heart of Iron Hammer, and he could also see that even with a good hand like Cyrus, he was still weak and weak when facing the pirates who had experienced many battles.
Yes, Dressrosa in the original novel was easily controlled by Doflamingo.
"Is there any good way to remedy this..."
A hammer is a blacksmith, or to put it nicely, a blacksmith with some strength and status.
"The Navy is stationed at Dressrosa."
"Or improve Dressrosa's overall military strength."
Iron Hammer was silent. These two methods were easier said than done.
There are only G1 and G5 naval branches in the New World. G1 is backed by the Red Earth Continent. What about G5...it's hard to describe.
It's even harder to station a navy in Dressrosa.
As for the second method, improving military strength, this cannot be accomplished overnight.
Hey, these are all big projects...
.
.
Three days later, the Sakaski Division and the Hammer Division were able to return after three days of rest.
In the past three days, Iron Hammer racked his brains and thought of many ways, and finally chose the second way to improve Dressrosa's military power.
How to improve? Equipped with firearms, no matter how difficult it is to use Devil Fruit, there is always a way.
For this reason, Iron Hammer specially had a dialogue with King Riku.
Looking at the King's Heights in the distance, Iron Hammer recalled the situation at that time.
"Your Majesty King Riku, this incident has made it clear that Dressrosa lacks the armed forces to protect itself."
"I hope you can greatly improve the country's military strength. You don't want anything else but to protect it."
King Liku's face was gloomy, his eyes fixed on the hammer.
"Lieutenant General Iron Hammer, I am a pacifist and don't like to use military force to demonstrate national power."
Hearing King Riku's words, Iron Hammer was so angry that he almost turned out a hammer and smashed him, but when he thought that he was Scarlet's father and his savior, he immediately suppressed the anger in his heart.
He forced himself to keep his voice calm.
"There is no intention to show off the national power, just to protect ourselves. You have also seen what happened this time. When facing some big pirates, the power Dressrosa currently possesses is as fragile as a piece of paper, not to mention Scar. Wright's awakening of Overlord Color and Dominance will cause many surrounding countries to look at Dressrosa with fear."
"I know you advocate peace, but the prerequisite for peace is to have a certain amount of strong force."
"You don't want this incident to happen again. If the navy fails to rescue in time, what will happen to Dressrosa? What will happen to Scarlet?"
Speaking of the sound of the hammer at the end, I couldn't help but feel a little excited.
King Liku's expression became even darker.
He understood that what Iron Hammer said was true. Even Cyrus, the strongest warrior in Dressrosa, was no match for this pirate invasion.
Scarlett was almost kidnapped.
Just when King Riku was wavering, the pink-haired loli made a grand appearance.
And he stood on the side of the hammer as soon as he came on the scene.
"Father, I think Lieutenant General Hammer is right. Even if Dressrosa longs for peace, it still needs strong power as the kingdom's protective umbrella."
"As a world government country, we cannot rely solely on the power of the navy to comfort our citizens. We need to enhance our own strength."
The sonorous and powerful voice hammered into King Riku's mind again and again.
Seeing his daughter standing on the opposite side of him, King Riku felt sour.
If it's just for the safety of the kingdom, forget it.
What do you mean by the smile you gave Tie Hammer after you finished speaking?
I'm so angry!
In the end, King Riku agreed to the request of Hammer and Scarlet, and handed over the relative decision-making power to Scarlet, while he ran to the back mountain angrily to vent his anger.
"Scarlet, this is Lance, uh, my phone bug. Call me if you need anything."
"As for the required firearms and weapons, I will contact the corresponding merchant and will contact you then."
Under Scarlet's reluctant gaze, the hammer left Dressrosa again.
Scarlet didn't look back until the Warhammer disappeared on the horizon.
"Cyrus, the training of the soldiers is up to you. Improving the physical fitness of the soldiers is the top priority."
"This is what Vice Admiral Hammer said. I hope that in the future, Dressrosa will no longer be coveted by any pirates!"
Once the road to the queen is opened, it will not stop, feeling the momentum of the pink-haired princess.
When thinking about the powerful strength of Hammer, Cyrus has nothing but respect in his heart.
"Yes, Princess Scarlett, I will handle the training perfectly!"
.
.
"Hey, Hammer, are you serious?"
"Hmm?"
"I mean to improve the military strength of Dressrosa."
"Yes."
"What are you going to do?"
"I don't know..."
Lance and Shirley were speechless as they looked at Hammer who was scratching his head anxiously.
It seems that you haven't thought about how to do it, right?
"Firearms and the like are easy to deal with. Dressrosa's financial strength is not weak. If it doesn't work, go find Judge and plunder some new weapons and equipment from him."
Judge: .... Come on, come and try. You'll be finished if I don't care.
"The difficult part is the warriors. Although there are gladiators, they are not enough."
"Ah... There is a long way to go..."
As he spoke, Tiechui looked at the sea.
And faces flashed through his mind one after another.
