Chapter 850: A New Boat Costs One Dollar, and Oars Cost One Million
White Trojan, the Pegasus-class assault landing ship that shone in the battle that year, is in the middle of the system cost, but Luke believes that this is more for sentimental reasons, rather than the strength of the battleship itself.
Although the Archangel in the subsequent world view has two "long legs" very similar to the White Trojan, the strength of the battleships of both sides is completely on a different level.
Let's put it this way, although the White Trojan has a special engine that is difficult to understand, it is also the one with the highest rate of being hit by bullets among all the battleships of that period.
If an ordinary Magellan-class battleship will be hit by 10 rounds of artillery fire in the same density of bombardment, then the White Trojan will be hit by 45 rounds, and this is under the premise of having the "Minovsky particle dispersion device". At that time, the White Trojan did not have the existence of laminated armor and other things, and it was really painful to be hit.
And under such a terrible rate of being hit, it still became a legend. In fact, it was because the combined strength of the MS body and the pilot on board, that is, the original Gundam and Amuro Ray, was too strong.
However, the above shortcomings are all viewed from the perspective of cosmic war. In the world view of Doujie, it is no problem to cooperate with the Whitebeard Pirates to dominate one side. This is completely a crushing of the technology side. As long as you don’t run into Godzilla, Kyogre and other wild monsters passing by and spray them with atomic breath or destructive death light, there is basically no danger of falling.
At this time, the question returns to the origin of the transaction, that is, are three top-level natural element fruits really worth such a white wooden horse?
The answer is that it is not worth it, but it is indeed a bit difficult to make Luke suffer a loss.
From the public storage box rules of the Brave Front, you can explore Luke’s thinking logic.
When others unanimously agreed that the external use of public storage boxes needs to be charged to everyone at the beginning, Luke made a decision to give everyone 100 pages for free, and then continue to charge for additional storage space.
Luke's logic is actually very simple. He uses free or low fees to retain customers. When they are used to storing items in public storage boxes and cannot leave their safety, the continuous charges that follow are the time to make money.
Obviously, this is the problem faced by the Whitebeard Pirates.
When the pirates looked at the white wooden horse with indescribable amazement, and many of them were trembling with excitement because they were going to replace this high-end ship, some of them quickly woke up from the amazement and excitement, such as the old man with white beard and Marco, the current captain of the Moby Dick.
Those who woke up soon frowned.
Even if you think with your heels, you can know that this high-tech flying warship, which Luke called the white wooden horse, may not be able to be started and sailed at will like a normal ship, at least it is not something that can be driven away by a ship of rough guys.
Some professional technicians may be necessary, and this may only be hoped from Luke who took out the warship out of thin air, and it is likely that he can only provide people instead of technology.
It's not that Whitebeard looked down on his stupid sons, but they really weren't good at learning, otherwise they wouldn't have become pirates. Even if the other side was willing to teach and train, I'm afraid few people could really learn it.
This is just the most basic problem of sailing.
Like what is the power of the ship, how to supply the ship in all aspects, where to repair it when it is damaged, etc., these are all problems they must face if they really intend to replace the ship.
It can only be said that when the leader of the Whitebeard Pirates has begun to consider this series of problems, it means that they are really tempted.
So, will Comrade Luke provide these follow-up services for free?
Of course not!
As I said, the value that cannot be filled by the three top natural element fruits can naturally be made up for in the future.
When the white wooden horse fell in front of them, when they saw that all the living people and even the ghost crew members had their eyes shining, the roles of both parties had been completely exchanged.
From Luke's original desire for the Sparkle Fruit, it became this group of people's desire for battleships.
Whitebeard took a deep breath, knowing that he was being set up, and as a pirate leader, he had to admit that he could not resist the possibility of replacing his Flying Mary with the White Trojan.
After all, this is a real flying ship!
However, what Luke did not know was that when Whitebeard's hand pressed on the surface of the battleship, his face changed slightly, because he found that the ship transformation ability he possessed as a ghost ferryman could be used on the white Trojan in front of him.
Theoretically, Whitebeard could transform it into a ghost ship like the Flying Mary.
As long as the ghost transformation can be completed, most of the subsequent charges for the things Luke planned will basically not be able to proceed, but Whitebeard can use the means of controlling the ghost ship to control the white Trojan.
But there are several issues that cannot be ignored.
Just like Davy Jones at the beginning, it is quite difficult to transform a new ship into a ghost ship from scratch, and the same is true for Whitebeard, not to mention that this is a ship that completely subverts the concept of traditional ships.
But if I transform it into a ghost ship, then Marco's gang of surviving brats won't be able to enjoy the benefits of the ship replacement.
As the ferryman of the underworld, Whitebeard understands the meaning of life better than anyone else. He also hopes that these stupid sons can live better, rather than becoming his soul crew one by one.
Considering this point, he is more inclined to change the ship on Marco's side. Whether these dead people change the ship is secondary.
...Or, just rob the ship?
As soon as this idea came out of Whitebeard's mind, he was suppressed again, because at this time he was not thinking with the thinking of the pirate leader, but thinking with the thinking of the father who cares about his stupid sons.
Let alone whether he can rob it or not, just passing Luke is a difficult problem.
The soul excitement brought by Luke's shouting is something that even Whitebeard himself is very afraid of, not to mention his ghost crew.
Not only that, Whitebeard, who hadn't seen Luke for a while, actually sensed a very restrained sense of threat from Luke now, and there was a warning atmosphere left after a higher-level existence fell into his hands.
This is something that cannot be perceived by beings who have not reached a certain level.
After witnessing the White Trojan Horse, under the control of a red mechanical giant, start the Minovsky particle engine and float in the air, and then shoot the Minovsky particle cannon towards the sea, causing damage, Whitebeard spoke.
"What price do I need to pay to make this White Trojan Horse operate normally and get a second warship of at least the same level?"
Hearing this, Luke's eyes finally narrowed.
"Then get all the scum in Impel Down and the devil fruits of the Beasts Pirates, as many as you can."
