It turned out that the captain asked the man named Ratched to build a ship for the three of them, and gave the prize money to him as research funding. However, after calculation, Ratched found that only his candles were free of charge, which could save him the most money.
Then he became miserable. He produced wax for a whole day and night. When he thought of the man called Zhengzheng who was beside him, cutting the wax into small pieces one by one, he broke out in a cold sweat.
"The boat is here, everyone." Just as the three were whispering, Aaron came over carrying a small boat of more than ten meters on his back.
Looking at this little boat, only a dozen meters long, Gal Dino facepalmed. Yesterday, he'd produced enough wax to make a 50-meter boat. Where had it all gone? If he knew Ratched had sold all the remaining wax to buy mechanical parts, he'd be devastated.
Overall, this ship cost nothing. It was Gal Dino who was the only one who spent the money from beginning to end.
"How can such a small boat compete with those huge sailboats? Is Ratched trying to play tricks on us?" Charlie said dissatisfiedly.
"Wrong, the functions of this ship are beyond your imagination!" Ratched walked over and said proudly.
"This wax boat is small in tonnage and is powered by the heat energy generated by burning candles. It has high speed and is very maneuverable. Although it is only thirteen meters long, it has a displacement of ten tons.
The cruising speed is 30 to 40 knots, and some can reach 50 knots at full sprint, with a cruising range of 500-3000 nautical miles.
Equipped with sails, it can be freely adjusted and its powerful steering skills can cope with most marine events.
The wax boat is equipped with incendiary weapons on both sides, which can fire wax bombs to set fire to other people's wooden boats, and can be controlled by Miss Charlie.
When sailing, Gardino can also build candle shields on both sides to enhance protection.
Its only weakness is its fear of fire, but no one else on this sea would think of using fire attacks. The outermost layer is coated with fireproof material, which can infinitely reduce this weakness. And most importantly, Gardino is the user of the Candle Fruit, so whether the wax boat is damaged or the ammunition is low, it can be replenished at any time."
After hearing what Ratchet said, the three of them were stunned. In just one night, they had created such a complete boat? And it was also the most suitable for their sailing habits. Most importantly, they had developed a wax engine and wax bombs based on wax.
Compared to him, James and Enel, who have not yet thoroughly studied electric engines, are simply weak.
Moreover, the performance of this small boat is so good, no worse than the big ship. It must be a monster. Where did the captain pick it up?
Seeing the surprised looks of several people, Ratched felt proud. For some reason, Ratched, who was originally shy and ashamed, became more confident and outspoken after spending a month with Jiang Bo, and even a little bit unwilling to accept Faith.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have squeezed Gal Dino dry in order to save money. Jiang Bo might have a headache in the future because he actually invited back a money-eating beast.
After the issue with the small boat was resolved, Wei Li and the other two went to sign up for the competition. Jiang Bo really didn't want to cause a sensation, so the name of the pirate group they registered was the pirate group that Jiang Bo and his team had easily destroyed. This was mainly because unknown pirate groups were not eligible to participate. If they registered the name of the Fallen Angels, they would not dare to participate.
You can only report the name of a little-known pirate group, and the organizer doesn't care whether it is a fake or not.
"Captain, you guessed right. There is indeed a person named Gaspard among the registered contestants, and the bounty is 95 million berries." Wei Li came back soon.
"If you meet him, capture him. He will be of great use to me. There is also a man named Needles on the ship. Oh, forget it. Just bring everyone on his ship. His ship is not bad. It is the first generation steamship modified by the navy. Bring it back and let Ratchet study it." Jiang Bo thought about it and changed his words.
He remembered that eight years before in the movie, Gaspard attacked the hometown of a minor character, Xiao Leia. Judging from the time, it was around this year's competition. He was interested in all the characters that appeared in the plot.
If Xiao Laiya's hometown had not been attacked, he could have been saved. If it had been attacked, Xiao Laiya could have been reunited with his sister, who was saved by the old man who was the boiler on the ship.
Moreover, Xiao Leia is also very talented. He is about the same age as Ace, and his strength in the movie is no worse than Luffy. He is an ordinary person who has never eaten a devil fruit, but he has earned the title of Pirate Executioner in the bounty hunter world.
