Chapter 172 Landing on the Island

Although it tastes so unpalatable that I doubt my life, the effect is very obvious.

Almost within the time of retching, Laura's appearance had undergone tremendous changes. The originally rough skin became much smoother, and some of the fine lines on the face, such as the corners of the eyes, and the pitted parts were directly covered by it. Fill in.

In addition, I don’t know if it was an illusion, but as her skin became smoother, Laura’s originally extremely out-of-proportion facial features became much more harmonious to the naked eye.

Although her figure is still a bit fat and there is still a long way to go before she is refined, Laura at this time can already be said to have a "very good foundation".

As long as it takes ten days and a half to lose a few dozen pounds, I think I can become as slim as Alita. After all, in the pirate world, as long as you master the return of life, you can do this kind of thing. It will be very easy.

"It's changed a lot!" Looking at Laura's huge changes, Rhea couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

At this time, Yamato also subconsciously reached out and touched Laura's face. His fingers had just touched the skin, and before he could make a pinching action, they were directly cut open by the smooth skin:

"So smooth~as delicate as a baby's skin."

Hearing her say this, Robin couldn't help but touch Laura's arm:

"Is it really slippery? It will make people unable to put it down."

After touching it, she took out the small mirror she used for makeup from her arms and handed it to Laura.

Laura took the mirror with trembling hands, looked at herself in the mirror, and couldn't help but shed tears.

Although she is still not considered a beauty, her appearance is already much more beautiful than her previous self:

"Captain, thank you very much!"

"You're welcome." Aoun waved his hand and said with a smile: "If you really want to thank me, cook more delicious food for a banquet! But remember to lose weight after the banquet."

"Yeah, yeah, wrap it up on me!"

Because Laura's own strength is not bad, there will be no such thing as being unable to hold a kitchen knife because she cannot control her abilities.

In a short time, more than twenty exquisite and delicious dishes were served on the table, and the banquet of the Orn Pirates began...

…………

After a lively banquet, Aoun pulled the hinge of any door in front of the moving castle. When the door opened, he had appeared on the rooftop of the mayor's building in the Capital of Seven Waters.

After putting away the mobile castle, he went down from the rooftop of the building and soon arrived in front of Bingshan's office.

"Please come in"

Hearing a child's voice coming from inside, Aoun was stunned for a moment. He subconsciously pushed the door in and found an extremely petite girl who looked to be only seven or eight years old at most. She was sitting at her desk, writing with flying colors. official business.

"Um...where are your adults?"

Hearing this, the little girl's hand holding the pen paused. She raised her head and pushed up the glasses that were thicker than the bottom of a beer bottle on the bridge of her nose. She asked with some disgust:

"You don't even know me, how did those stupid boatmen let me in?"

Forehead……

While Aoun was thinking about answering this question, the door of the office was pushed open again, and Bingshan walked in carrying two cups of coffee.

"Hey, Mr. Aoun? Why are you here!"

Bingshan was naturally very surprised when he saw Aoun, the major shareholder, coming. He quickly walked to the desk and pushed a cup of coffee with milk in front of the little girl. He sipped it softly. Coffee introduced the two of them:

"Eunice, this is Mr. Aoun, one of the famous Shichibukai and the shareholder behind Carrera Company. Mr. Aoun, this is Eunice, my new secretary."

"Secretary?" Aoun glanced at Eunice, a girl of only seven or eight years old, with some surprise, but couldn't help but ask:

"Are you too young to be a secretary at your age?"

Eunice glanced at Aoun with some dissatisfaction, then opened the drawer with some effort and took out a large pile of certificates:

"These are the qualifications I obtained. Now, do you still think I am too young to be a secretary?"

Bingshan also smiled at this time and said:

"Eunice, you go ahead and sign the documents. I'll take Mr. Aoun to the new dock to have a look."

"Hurry up," Eunice said without raising her head:

"You have a news interview in two hours, you have to go to the old city site in three hours to supervise the exploration progress, and there is a charity dinner to attend in the evening."

"I know..." After a dejected reply, Bingshan left the office with Aoun as if fleeing.

"Why do you seem so afraid of that little girl? Isn't she your secretary?"

After leaving the office, Aoun couldn't help but asked something funny.

"That little girl has a bad temper, but her work efficiency is higher than that of Kalifa. If she gets angry without coaxing her, I will suffer a lot in the future."

After Bingshan complained like this, he told Aoun the story of how he publicly applied for a secretary some time ago, but was almost tortured by more than 150 candidates and suffered a mental breakdown.

"People with abilities tend to have weird tempers. Eunice is already relatively easy to get along with."

Ao Enxin said, "Robin is very capable at work and has no temper. He is not only suitable for being a secretary but also..."

Ahem, anyway, after remembering Robin for a while, the two of them headed to the new shipyard.

During the time when Orn left the Seven Waters City, Iceberg opened a new shipyard with the gold left by Orn, and the original shipyard was used to produce sea trains to cope with the operational pressure after the increase in tracks.

After receiving sufficient capital injection, Carrera recently negotiated a plan to open the route with a kingdom, and also obtained the approval of the World Government. It is expected that the new route will be opened to traffic by the end of the year.

Although only one track has been added, the revenue it can bring in the future can definitely be calculated in "billions".

In addition to the progress in sea trains, the sewing machines and small steam engines that Orn mentioned earlier have also produced the first batch of products.

Orn followed Iceberg's guidance to take a look. He couldn't understand the working principle at all, but he could be sure that the craftsmanship of both was very mature, and when they were put on the market, they would definitely be recognized by consumers.

This also made Orn feel very impressed by the genius of Carrera, Franky and others. It was less than a few months since they left the Seven Water City, and these things that were enough to set off an industrial revolution in the previous life had been easily created.

If these scientists and masters in the pirate world work hard on these things, they can really promote the productivity of the whole world very quickly.

After spending about an hour listening to Iceberg's various reports, and knowing that there will be nearly 1 billion Baileys in dividends flowing into his pocket next year, Orn finally revealed the real purpose of his trip.

"Install a chassis for the Luxiang? This is easy. You can go to the new shipyard later and let Barry help you solve it."

Iceberg only had time to say this before he was dragged away by Eunice to attend a press conference. In desperation, Orn could only go to the new shipyard to find Barry.

After taking the blueprint and studying the seastone chassis for about a minute, Barry snapped his fingers and said to Orn:

"This is easy. Mr. Orn, leave the Luxiang here for a day. It should be done tomorrow."

After getting Barry's assurance, Orn returned to the Luxiang with satisfaction and started a new day of ironmaking.

Instead of using a hammer to forge iron with fists, his work efficiency was obviously slowed down a lot. He worked hard for a whole day to barely make a piece of casting into a low-quality wine steel casting.

According to this progress, the MK-17 Rock Cannon is estimated to wait for another two or three months to come out.

After resting for a day in the Seven Waters City, Orn received a call from Barry the next morning, saying that the seastone chassis had been installed.

After taking the crew to visit and confirming that there was nothing wrong, the Luxiang was launched again, and the Orn Pirates set sail again, heading for the island guided by the permanent compass.

…………

Oen originally thought that the mysterious island mentioned by Rayleigh should be the ancient island located in the doldrums and adjacent to the Amazon lily, but this was not the case.

The Luxiang had been sailing for seven days without any signs of entering the doldrums. In addition, according to the self-introductions of the indigenous people on the islands along the way, they should now be in the middle of the sixth route.

The mysterious island they were about to land on was an unknown island that was not on the regular sailing route of the sixth route.

At about noon on the tenth day, the magnetic field intensity of the permanent pointer reached its maximum. At the same time, Peyton also reported that he saw the outline of a huge island in front.

After sailing for about an hour, Orn and others also saw the general appearance of the island.

This is an ancient island similar to the "small garden" of the ancient island. Just looking at the dense vegetation on the island and the huge strange birds that were startled by the roars of unknown creatures from time to time, it is enough to determine that this is definitely an island full of dangers.

"We're finally here!"

Yamato, who had just come out of the forecastle, looked at the island in the distance and threw something to Orn.

Oen subconsciously reached out to take it, and just as his fingers touched the surface of the object, he felt a wave of weakness coming - it was the low-purity seastone handcuffs sent by the navy.

This was something he and Yamato had agreed on before. In order to prevent the two of them from being too strong and not getting proper training on the island, the two decided to practice on the island with low-purity seastone handcuffs.

Of course, during this process, both of them carried the key to the handcuffs at all times to prevent them from being unable to rescue their own crew members in case of accidents.

"This feels really bad."

After breaking the iron chain connecting the handcuffs and putting on the handcuffs, Orn couldn't help but sigh.

This was actually the first time he wore this kind of low-purity seastone handcuffs, and it felt like he was suddenly in a ten-fold gravity field.

He now felt that it was extremely difficult for him to swing his fist, almost no different from those patients who had been bedridden for a long time.

However, when he thought of Luffy in the original work who could withstand this feeling of powerlessness and even compete with Kidd to see who had more stones, he immediately felt that this feeling of powerlessness seemed to be nothing.

"Don't talk about you, I haven't worn it for a while and now I feel uncomfortable all over."

Yamato shook the handcuffs on his wrists and smiled:

"It's okay, I should be able to adapt soon."

"Yeah."

After responding like this, the Luxiang also officially docked on the coast of this unknown island.

Haha~

All the members had just landed when a rough and hoarse bird cry was heard from the sky in the distance.

Everyone looked up subconsciously and found that a huge strange bird was staring at them. It was now swooping down at high speed in the direction of the Luxiang.

The size of this strange bird was estimated to be about 70 to 80 meters. Its wings were spread out enough to block the sunlight, so that the entire Luxiang was covered in a huge shadow.

Because the wings blocked the light, everyone could not see the specific appearance of the strange bird, but they could still feel the metallic luster on the bird.

It was not known whether there was a special reflective layer on the feathers of the bird, or whether the big bird had no feathers at all, but was covered with scales like a pterosaur.

As the strange bird dived, the sunlight finally re-projected onto the Luxiang, allowing everyone to see the appearance of the giant bird.

It was covered with green hard scales, and the tips of its claws flashed a chilling cold light. Its huge beak took up a quarter of its body, and was as long and sharp as a pterosaur's beak.

There was no doubt that if this strange bird was placed in the outside world, it could easily kill an entire ordinary town.

Although they were used to big scenes, they were still shocked by the strange appearance of this big bird - more importantly, this strange bird was enough to cause Yamato and Ornn's observation warning, which was enough to show that the strength of this strange bird was not simple.

Seeing the strange bird getting closer and closer, Peyton subconsciously raised the mechanical arm of his right hand, and the black hole of the gun barrel appeared from his open palm.

Boom!

The shell came out of the gun with a sharp whistle and shot towards the strange bird, but the strange bird was not panicked at all, and there was a clear disdain in its eyes.

Gaga~

It made a hoarse and unpleasant hiss again, and then opened its long and sharp beak to bite the flying shell.

Crack!

The bird's beak easily bit the shell, and rows of saw-like sharp teeth pierced the outer iron armor of the shell, and actually bit the shell into pieces.

Boom!

The broken shell exploded in the bird's beak, but the strange bird did not show any pain, and the dive was not affected at all, which shows how hard the iron beak is.

"Let me do it."

Seeing that the shell did not work, Wuerji picked up the huge pencil on the anchor with a muffled voice.

When the strange bird was only a few meters away from the Luxiang, Wuerji stepped heavily on the deck with his feet and jumped into the air.

He let out a loud shout while in the air, then swung his arm and threw a pencil at the huge beak of the monster bird with all his strength...

Oda has drawn Lola eating the slippery fruit and the iceberg secretary. I'll look for pictures later to see if I can post them in the book review section.
