It has extremely high strategic significance!

Furthermore, as an educated woman who held a high-ranking position in the Don Quixote family, she was also quite capable in management.

As Robin's territory expanded, so did her workload.

These days, I'm busy not only in the morning but also at night!

With Violet's help, Robin can have an easier time.

Besides, Robin is someone who can't stand the light of day!

As long as Robin and Vegapunk remain unexposed, and he doesn't study history or go to sea to search for Laugh Tale, then what he's doing in the East Blue is just minor trouble.

Even if he eventually becomes independent from the Navy, the Navy Headquarters will be the only ones who will have a headache; the World Government won't pay much attention to this insignificant creature for the time being.

Of course, we don't know if Germa 66 unified the North Blue for only 66 days. During this period, besides the emergence of various ambitious individuals, was there any interference from the World Government?

If the World Government didn't care whether the insectoids occupied the seas or not, he could remain under the World Government's control until his influence spread throughout the world!

only.

That's probably impossible!

Therefore, they should avoid attracting the attention of the world government for the time being.

If there are things that Robin can't show her face for, Violet can handle them.

After assigning Violet her tasks and receiving her unwavering approval, Shache didn't say anything more and glanced at the newspaper beside him.

really.

News of the events in the Kingdom of Dressrosa has finally spread.

Xia Che looked at the newspaper in his hand with great interest. "Tsk tsk tsk, the World Government must have spent money!"

The entire newspaper devoted a large portion to describing how the Admiral painstakingly discovered the Donquixote Family's secret, how he painstakingly saved the Kingdom of Dressrosa, minimizing its losses, and successfully arrested the evil Donquixote Doflamingo, thus upholding the Navy's justice.

And finally...

The entire piece also forcefully praises the World Government's status and the Navy Headquarters' justice!

Of course, Moke, one of the main characters in this incident, was still mentioned, although the coverage was relatively limited.

A badass photo, with a bounty of 3 + 10 billion Berries below!

The text also briefly describes the origin of Moke's bounty, and there are rumors that Moke comes from the [D] clan.

It’s gone up again!

A whopping 13 billion Berries!

Xia Che couldn't help but twitch his lips as he watched, rubbing his forehead in pain.

Keep in mind that this price is extremely rare even on the high seas, and I reckon quite a few people are already eyeing Moke.

Thinking of this, Xia Che turned to look at Violet, "Find out where Mok is now?"

The voice just fell.

Violet glanced at it briefly, then smiled and said, "Still in Red Romance, Mr. Vegapunk is over there too."

"Old Bei actually stayed up all night instead of doing research?"

"He seems to be really enjoying it!"

"..."

Hearing Violet's words, Shacher nodded speechlessly, then looked helplessly at Robin and said expressionlessly, "Notify Crowe, tell him that Moke's vacation is over, and tell him to take Moke to train properly, even if he gets injured, it doesn't matter."

“Okay.” Robin nodded gracefully, pondered for a moment, and said, “I’ll inform Chloe later!” She paused slightly, “and emphasize your meaning!”

The words fell.

Hearing Robin's words, Shache nodded in satisfaction.

Robin always understood the hidden meaning in his words.

What happened next...

We need to build another factory.

The regular version of the blue pill is already in production. Vegapunk casually made it yesterday while waiting for Mork.

This thing probably wouldn't even be considered a toy by Old Bei.

Of course, this task won't be left to Nami; Udo will handle it.

And there are new networks...

This is a different signal wave from Den Den Mushi (snail phone), therefore, the carrier receiving the signal source also needs to be re-examined.

The world's top brain quickly came up with a new solution: in addition to researching a new type of carrier, they could also create a tool that Den Den Mushi could use. With this tool, Den Den Mushi could receive new signal waves.

He can also generate other signal waves of different frequencies for internal use, preventing them from being stolen from the outside.

It's incredibly well-developed!

only.

It will probably take some time before it can be put into use.

Vegapunk is currently relaxing with a foot bath. After being locked up for so long, it's a rare treat to be able to get out, and Shache doesn't want to disturb his enjoyment.

Let's give him a short break, and then put him back in the lab tomorrow!

Upon hearing the BOSS's next arrangements, Robin and Violet took notes very seriously, especially Violet... who, having just taken office, was also diligently learning from Robin.

She's already infiltrated, but she's not in a hurry; she'll have plenty of opportunities to have fun.

Having worked for the Don Quixote family for many years, she knew that when it was time to work, she had to work hard!

I'm just... a little envious of my senior's abilities!

That's a really good ability!

It's not only fun, but it's also very helpful for work!

"Understood, I'll arrange it." After Robin finished writing, he put his notebook away. Then, as if he had thought of something, he looked up at Xia Che and said, "By the way, the shipyard has completed the production of the East China Sea model ships as you mentioned."

"Has it been developed yet?"

"Yes! Mr. Wolf also asked me to ask you what to do next?"

The words fell.

"What should we do?" Xia Che's eyes narrowed slightly. "Of course, we should promote it properly first!"

Chapter 143 Buy

Since the shipyard is ready, there's no question... let's officially begin construction.

Xia Che attaches great importance to this shipyard, which belongs exclusively to their Navy Branch 16. From now on, Navy Branch 16 will no longer need to purchase ships from outside.

At the same time... this provides another source of income.

You must know that we are currently in the Great Pirate Era!

How can shipbuilding not be profitable?

So, there's nothing more to say, let's replace all the ships that need replacing within the 16 branches of the Navy.

The warships currently in the 16th Naval Division are mainly divided into three parts: one part consists of regular naval warships acquired from the Naval Headquarters; another part consists of warships seized from pirates; and the third part consists of warships purchased from other shipyards.

The pirate ships captured from pirates varied in quality. Although most of them were specially selected, the quality of pirates in the East Blue was just so-so. Therefore, good pirate ships were very rare.

This part can now be replaced with naval warships that belong exclusively to the 16th Division of the Navy.

Of course, there are some differences in style compared to the warships of the Navy Headquarters. This was a warship that he specifically asked Wolff and Franchi to design.

After all, if they were all Navy Headquarters warships... it would be too conspicuous for the 16th Division of the Navy.

How could a mere branch of the Communist Party have hundreds of naval vessels? Who wouldn't be suspicious?

So, that's good enough.

And speaking of it...

They currently cannot manufacture that many naval headquarters warships.

Although their self-designed ship structures are no weaker than those of naval warships, and they can even manufacture ships similar to large warships, and they also have their own unique power wheels, they really don't have that much Seastone!

Therefore, even if they wanted to manufacture them, they simply couldn't produce too many.

Currently, they mainly purchase their sea stone from the black market, which is not only expensive but also scarce.

After all, sea stone is a hard currency in this world.

Even though Guy has been developing his mining business in Wano Country, he hasn't managed to mine much. Most of it has already been reserved, and very little of it ends up on the black market!

Of course, he doesn't want to die right now; he just wants to stay in the East China Sea. What's the point of building so many similar naval warships?

Therefore, a sturdy boat with a uniform design is sufficient.

Ships that are scrapped can be kept for civilian use if they are still usable. If they are not, we'll see if they can be recycled at the shipyard. If they can be recycled and decomposed, we'll decompose them. If they can't be decomposed, we'll just chop them up, dry them, and use them as firewood.

In short, we can't waste anything.

As for selling the ship...

Xia Che sighed, looking at the warship replacement expenditure sheet in his hand with a pained expression, and muttered to himself, "Perhaps... we should start with the East China Sea!"

……

East China Sea, Kingdom of Goa.

Windmill Village, inside the Windmill Tavern.

"Luffy, on vacation again?" Everyone drinking looked at the boy in the straw hat with a smile. "I heard you beat someone up the other day? Did you get fired?"

"I wasn't fired!" Luffy exclaimed, his eyes wide with dissatisfaction. "How can you slander me like this..."

"What innocence? A couple of days ago, someone from my construction site passed by your canteen and saw you gather people together and beat them up very badly. You even smashed the food buckets. You must have eaten too much and emptied the canteen, which is why you were fired. You even caused your foreman to be taken away!"

"Eating your fill isn't enough... eat!" Luffy stubbornly argued, "...the food a working person eats, how much is enough?"

Then came a string of incomprehensible remarks, such as "I just wanted to eat my fill!", "The foreman is a good man!", and "The foreman's arrest wasn't because I ate too much!", which made everyone burst into laughter, filling the entire tavern with a joyful atmosphere.
