Pirates born to be kings

"Hero?" Chopper tilted his head and didn't understand. .

The bull's head made out of snowballs was so ugly that Valbo gave up his plan to continue shaping it. He would not admit that he lacked artistic talent. It must be that the material of snow was not suitable for carving. He placed the bull's head snowball on the ground and looked at it with everyone. The black figure in front of the woods said, "Don't you understand? It's okay. Let's learn how to use Devil Fruit first. This will be a good teaching."

As a user with animal fruit abilities, Dalton's three transformations can be switched freely, as if by instinct. While Valpo was speaking, he transformed into a beast form - a yak, running fast, lowering his head and using his horns. After knocking several Lababs away in succession, he suddenly turned around and jumped up. While in the air, he transformed into an orc form. He clasped his hands together like a hammer and struck straight down, knocking down the three Lababs in front of him. ' Bang smashed into the snow, and Labang's huge body was bounced a few times. As soon as he hit the ground, another group of Labangs flew towards him. This group of flexible fat rabbits did not give Dalton any chance to breathe. .

Dalton rolled along with his inertia, and the black hair on his body receded, transforming into a human form with higher sensitivity. He dodged left and right, and from time to time gave Labon who was close to him a heavy punch, hitting the opponent's nose or eyes, attracting Laban. The Bangs howled and roared, and after using their body skills to move away and get some distance away, Dalton would change into the form of a yak and sprint forward, knocking over several Bangs.

The three forms were switched, and the flowing water was full of killing intent. It seemed simple, but the effect was remarkable. In just a short moment, more than a dozen Labangs fell to the ground. In this way, he was ordered by Valpo not to kill him, otherwise, the consequences of the battle would only be greater.

There were stars in Chopper's eyes, "How powerful! Is this Dalton's true strength?!" It turns out that the animal fruit can be so strong. With the current situation, doesn't it only take a moment to resolve the battle? It would be great if I could be like him sometime.

Valpo doesn’t know Chopper’s upper limit.

As one of the real children of the plane in the world of One Piece, or one of the partners of the children of the plane, he has too much uncertainty and potential.

But for the battle in front of him, he was not as optimistic as Chopper. There were quite a few Labans in this group, about 100 of them. Dalton had neatly eliminated one-tenth of them, which didn't mean much.

If you attack for a long time, you will be exhausted, and if you defend for a long time, you will lose. Even those with animal-type abilities cannot sustain such a high-intensity fighting method forever.

Sure enough, just a moment later, a Labang swung with its front paw, hitting Dalton, causing him to stagger, and the rhythm of the battle was immediately disrupted. The Labans, who relied on instinct, did not miss this opportunity. , taking advantage of the victory, the pursuit left a few scratches on Dalton's body, forcing him to transform into a yak form and charge left and right with brute force before breaking out of the encirclement.

Just as everyone was nervously watching Dalton fight one against a hundred,

Something happened in the shipyard in a cave in Cigu Island Bay.

……

Submarine Dockyard, Materials Research Department.

"Ahhhh..." Knotts rubbed his head. His face was covered with stubble, and his dark circles were so deep that he could play the role of a panda without eyeliner. He had been suffering from insomnia for nearly two weeks. If he continued like this, it wouldn't take long for him to become a panda. He is going to collapse. In fact, he is not far away from going crazy now. The culprit of his current situation is a small metal block placed on the table. The metal block is bluish in color and was obtained from a large metal ingot. Apart from this piece of cut metal, other metals were also assigned to different departments to analyze their composition and find out their utilization value.

As the director of the submarine material research department, Knotts naturally also got a share.

It is said that Shep, the boss of the shipbuilding department, heard from Mr. Jess that whoever can be the first to discover the use of this metal this time will not only receive a bonus of 300 million Baileys, but the next quarter's R&D funds will also be used for research and development. Its sector is tilted.

After hearing this news, everyone in the Drum Kingdom who could hook up with metal supplies went crazy!

Medical equipment, ropeways, ordnance, and even the chef department asked for a metal block to use as a spatula, saying that it might make the dishes more delicious.

And as Knotts, who originally studied metal materials, how could he miss it.

There are rumors among the upper echelons of the Ciggu Kingdom that His Majesty the King is ready to work hard to revitalize the kingdom. If this is true, there is a golden opportunity in front of us! Since the big submarine was built, the shipyard has not received an order for a long time, and wages are already in arrears for three months. The boss Shep puts almost all his expectations on this piece of metal and comes to the research department every day to check on the progress. After he discovers the properties of this blue metal and can apply for more funds, he must at least pay the back wages first. They are not like people in the medical department. Even if the country does not pay funds, they only need to help. Patients can make a lot of money by treating their diseases. The shipyard relies entirely on wages, and no one dares to accept private shipbuilding orders, even for a small wooden ship.

Knotts slowly tossed the metal block in his hand and said for a while to respond to Shep's words, "Blue alloy, highly malleable, highly resistant to seawater corrosion, lighter than iron, 5 mm thick can defend It is also highly resistant to attacks by most rifle bullets and is resistant to cuts and punctures from knives." As he spoke, he became frustrated again, "Tsk, it's completely useless." These attributes can also be achieved by other alloy metals, and they simply cannot reflect this. Blue alloy special.

It looked like he was about to be scolded by the boss again. Knotts slowly walked to the dock while throwing the alloy. This is where they test small boats. It is about the size of two football fields. The water is clear and transparent. It has not been opened for more than half a year. A few boatmen were bored and raised two dolphins inside, one male and one female. The male was called Firm and the female was called Return. The two strange names were given by Boss Shep. He said that the most important thing about a ship is its firmness, and the most important thing for sailors is the dolphins. What he was looking forward to was the return voyage. Every time something went wrong for him, he would come here to tease the two dolphins.

Knotts walked here unconsciously, still thinking about something, when a stream of water suddenly hit him, jolting him. The metal block in his hand fell to the ground and rolled around a few times, and fell into the dock. The dolphin was happy. Then the screams started.

Knotts wiped away the water stains on his face, gritted his teeth and looked at the culprit in the sea, "Sure, it's you again! I've washed clothes 8 times this week! I'm going to ask the boss to deduct a sardine from you!"

The male dolphin 'Jiang' didn't care, relying on the power of his tail, he straightened up and made a clap with his fins, taunting Notts. The female dolphin 'Return' swam happily around 'Jiang', spraying out a jet of water from time to time. , the dolphins are not afraid of him, they know that everyone in the dock likes them.

"Hmph!" Knotts snorted angrily, rolled up his sleeves, and prepared to pick up the metal piece. This thing must not be lost. Boss Shep would kill him if he dropped it.

"It's strange, it should have fallen here." He clearly saw the place where it fell. The water at the edge of the dock was not deep, but he looked around and couldn't find the piece of metal. He casually tested the temperature in the seawater. It seemed that it was hot. Just go deeper into the water.

Just as he was thinking about it, his hand touched a hard object. Just at this moment, he knew that it was the piece of metal that he had been studying for more than a dozen days and nights recently.

but……

He looked into the water,

There is still nothing there! ! !

"Look, you can't see?!" Knotts stared blankly at the water, his hands felt hard and cold, and he murmured in a low voice, "Boss, this time we have a big problem..."
