CHAPTER 38 BATTLESHIP ARRIVES (2/2)
Fitz shook his forehead and said, “I knew it…”
He looked at Robin and looked at Ross again. He said helplessly: “Really, you can’t let an old man enjoy his old age? Help you build a ship. If the government knows, this old man will have to hide in another isolated island.”
Ross slightly smiled and didn’t speak.
Since the old Fitz and Robin’s mother have a deep friendship and Robin was now wanted by the World Government as a Devil Child and a crew member of his ship, it was clear that the sentimental old man would not sit idly by.
Sure enough, after looking at Robin, Old Fitz sighed and said, “No way, I can’t just sit back and ignore the only heir of my old friend. It seems that my old bones are going to be used one last time!”
Having said that, he stood up and asked Ross:
“Don’t tell me that you don’t have any material ready. Just coming and finding an old man to build a ship. This old man can’t make it out of nothing for you.”
Ross shook his head. “The materials are here, but I only brought a main material… the branch of the Treasure Tree Adam.”
The old Fitz eyes flashed slightly before saying: “Is this the 42-meter Treasure Tree branch? So that wood fell into your hands, good! With this wood as the keel, this old man will surely build a ship so fast that no Battleship will be able to catch it!”
His ancestors were responsible for Pluton’s power unit. Although the things of that time were already lost, Kokonor is still standing at the top of the world in designing ships for speed.
“Thank you very much, here is the reward.”
Ross put the bag filled with 80 million Berries in front of him.
Old Fitz grinned and did not refuse. Instead, he raised his hand and took it. After opening it up and looking at it, he said, “Enough, even if you buy the best supplements, there are still 20 million Berries that will be left and I won’t have to worry about drinking in the future”
He stood up and walked towards outside while carrying the bag of money at his back. After two steps, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at Ross:
“That’s right.”
“Marine has taken a thorough look at you. I’m afraid that with the government’s intelligence capability they will soon know that you’re here. Even if I pull a bunch of Shipwrights together, it will take at least seven days to complete the ship. If a Battleship comes in within seven days…”
“Rest assured.”
Ross stood up and calmly accepted the conversation, saying, “There will be no Battleship to disturb your shipbuilding. I will deal with that problem.”
Old Fitz smiled as he saw Ross exiting his wooden house.
Robin stood up and followed Ross out. As she passed Old Fitz, she whispered ‘Thank you’.
“You’re welcome.”
Old Fitz answered and closed the door.
With old Fitz, the top Shipwright leader and a group of other Shipwrights called in, all the other materials for the ship were selected that day.
As for shipbuilding drawings, old Fitz had designed a speed-based ship a long time ago but because the main material had to be the strongest wood, he had not been able to build it. This branch of Treasure Tree Adam was just right for it.
The design is often the most troublesome part and if this part is skipped directly, the speed of building a ship will be greatly accelerated, it was because of this that old Fitz said that the ship will be completed in seven days.
While Old Fitz was working day and night with many shipwrights to build the ship, Marine Headquarters Rear Admiral’s fleet of five Battleships approached the Shipwright town.
Finally.
The Marine fleet arrived in Shipwright town on the afternoon of the next day…
