A certain scientific pirate

Sylvia is an ordinary resident living in the Third Street in the East District of the Seven Waters City. He runs a small daily necessities store. He is already middle-aged. His ordinary life is filled with the noise of his children, the scolding of his wife, and retreating every day. Hairline, such a life day after day, can be called boring.

But even he has a few small hobbies... He is an ace pilot of the third fishing brigade of the Seven Waters City.

In an area rich in fishery and marine resources like the Grand Line, to a certain extent, it is more difficult to catch fish than to catch fish. Therefore, as an old "air force", Sylvia can be called a reverse Xiang's technology is superb.

On this day, he and several friends came to a fjord east of the Capital of Seven Waters to prepare for night fishing.

The fishing activity started at six o'clock in the evening, but until eleven o'clock, Sylvia had nothing to gain. Looking at his companions who had made great gains, he began to rationally analyze the reasons for today's failure... What about ocean currents and air pressure? , the bait is fishy, ​​the lower hook position is shallow, etc.

Anyway, the analysis is clear and logical, which fully proves that he is an excellent fishing theorist.

People are addicted to food, that's all, but this is the so-called hobby.

After simply eating something and tidying up, Sylvia and his friends prepared to go to bed, but they did not intend to go home because there would be the second half of fishing at dawn tomorrow - on the dam not far away. Several tents have already been pitched.

After sleeping for about three hours, Sylvia was suffocated and woke up. In a daze, he must have been too lazy to find the toilet, but went directly to the embankment... Well, it was only a small displacement anyway, so it shouldn't be a problem. Pollute the sea.

During this process, Sylvia only felt that today's night sky was exceptionally bright, with almost no clouds above her head, the moonlight was very bright, and the stars were very low.

"It should be good weather tomorrow..."

Sylvia thought this and shuddered involuntarily.

The temperature seems to be a bit low tonight, the air is dry and cold.

Sylvia didn't think much about it, and went straight back into the tent after finishing her convenience.

However, what he didn't notice was that even when he lay down again and fell asleep, he didn't hear the sound of pollutants falling into the water.

At dawn the next day, several old guys got up on time, packed up their fishing rods, found fishing spots, and started the second round of fishing facing the rising sun.

The cool breeze in the morning quickly drove away their sleepiness, and the morning light shining on the sea made someone involuntarily raise his hand to cover his eyes.

"Hey, is it my imagination? Why do I feel that the sun rises at a wrong angle today?"

"Wrong? What's wrong? Haha, you haven't woken up yet." Another person said.

However, the exchange between them did not continue, because a very surprising and high-pitched voice interrupted them.

"Bit the hook, bite the hook, get up!"

Following Sylvia's words, the fishing rod in his hand was suddenly pulled out in an exaggerated arc.

"He's a big guy!"

Everyone looked at each other, no one expected that this old air force would open first.

"Sylvia, you stepped on dog shit last night... No, you were the first to catch a fish. It must have been more than just stepping on it. You probably ate dog shit, at least ten pounds."

"Jealous, everyone, don't be jealous, this is called luck... Haha, probably because I made a nest in advance last night."

"Don't be too happy, this is just the beginning."

Some people couldn't stand how complacent this old guy looked and couldn't help but say this.

However, something magical happened. Until the end of the fishing activity, no one except Sylvia had achieved anything, and there was even a bizarre phenomenon where fish would only bite Sylvia's hook.

Just like that, Sylvia won the fishing competition for the first time ever.

So a doubt came to everyone's mind: Putting aside the lucky guys, why could they catch fish last night but not this morning?

It's really strange, it's obviously the same sea.

Well, it's probably due to ocean currents, air pressure, and bait... Every fishing guy is a perfect fishing theorist.

…………

Three days later, the North Sea Queen completed the installation of all equipment and conducted several power system test runs... However, this does not mean that the ship is ready to go to sea. In fact, it should undergo a period of debugging. After confirming that there are no problems, you can try a short-distance voyage, and then a long-distance voyage and deliver it to Mo Fei.

The normal process should be like this, but in reality there are always surprises - Mo Fei gave an order and directly ordered this new toy worth billions of Baileys to go to sea.

Well, with him here, you don’t have to worry about the new ship sinking accidentally.

So, accompanied by a navy sailing capital ship, the ferocious steel monster slowly left the port.

Half of the North Sea Queen is the navy and the other half is Carrera's shipwrights. They have to provide full support for the trial work.

At this time, someone who likes the new and hates the old is of course on a new boat.

Looking at the smoke coming out of the chimney, Vinsmoke Reiju still looked a little unbelievable. She almost said to herself, "Has the shipbuilding technology in the Seven Waters City reached this level? "

Vinsmoke was famous for his technological leadership, but even so, Reiju was still shocked by such a war machine.

"That's not true. Carrera has only completed the construction of the hull. Driving such a giant ship requires a strong heart, and the Seven Waters City does not have the ability to produce such a powerful marine steam engine... In fact, whether it is weapons systems, The power system and the most advanced mapping and shooting system are all manufactured in the secret factory of the World Government. Obviously, these are the core technologies of this ship."

Mo Fei, who happened to hear the question, explained it this way.

Reiju nodded slowly, but the essence of the problem still did not change... The fact that the World Government has the ability to build such a warship still makes people feel terrifying.

A giant steel ship has far more visual impact than a pacifist.

At this time, Roland came to the bridge, "Mo Fei... Rear Admiral, you have a telegram."

"Where did it come from?"

Mo Fei asked casually while taking it.

"Dr. Albertine from G1 Naval Base."

"Huh? What's wrong, Doctor?"

Mo Fei unfolded the telegram and read it hastily. After reading it, he casually folded the telegram into a paper airplane, then walked outside and said to Roland, who had a curious and even gossipy look on his face, "The doctor seems to want to conduct a small scientific experiment..."

As he spoke, he threw the paper plane out, and saw the thing flying straight into the depths of the sea.

Only half of the words were spoken, and Mo Fei fell into silence. After a while, he said to Roland, "Roland, I will give you a task. You can help find out the specific whereabouts of a certain person..."

And when he said this person's name, both Roland and Reijiu present showed expressions of surprise and confusion.

However, Mo Fei didn't explain much.

…………

Two days after going to sea, a piercing siren sounded from the North Sea Queen.

"Major General, a pirate ship was found in the northeast, about 15 kilometers away!" Someone quickly reported the situation to Mo Fei.

"Speed ​​up to catch up and get close to 5,000 meters." Then Mo Fei added, "It's the first time you encounter an enemy. It's a lucky move."

Although the pirate ship was already within the firing range of the North Sea Queen at this distance, the shooting angle was not very good, and it was difficult for the artillerymen who were not familiar with ballistic performance to quickly hit the target.

But five thousand meters is different. The naval gun fires almost directly, hitting wherever you point, and there is no problem of hit rate.

Following Mo Fei's order, the giant ship that was sailing silently suddenly came to life, and the sailors were busy performing their duties.

Dietrich, the reporter who was invited to board the warship, looked at this scene with a mixture of nervousness and curiosity.

With the roar of the steam engine, the North Sea Queen quickly caught up with the pirate ship. However, it did not adopt a straight-line pursuit. Instead, it sailed directly parallel to the pirate ship, first catching up, and then slowing down to "accompany Navigation".

At this time, the distance between the two parties must be within five kilometers.

"Captain, that strange ship without sails should be a warship or a steam ship!"

On the pirate ship, a more knowledgeable pirate said to his captain.

"Can't you get away?" the captain asked. He ran away immediately when encountering a warship. This is the general rule of action in the pirate industry.

"No, they are too fast."

At this time, another pirate ran over, "Captain, the call on the telex public channel should have come from the warship..."

"what did you say?"

"Only one sentence..."

"What?"

"Rear Admiral Erindel Morfei from the Shampoo Islands Naval Base says hello to you."

"?"

Just when the pirate ship was filled with questions, the three main gun turrets of the North Sea Queen turned sideways at the same time, aiming in the north direction.

"Fire!"

Mo Fei gave the order very decisively, and was not worried about what problems the first salvo of naval guns would cause... Whatever he was afraid of, the Agincourt could fire a salvo.

A huge roar followed, the huge hull trembled, and the flames from the huge cannon instantly enveloped the entire battleship.

The shell flew a short distance, and then...

The sea surface and the air were filled with sawdust and flying water.

Such a big pirate ship was sailing happily one second, and disappeared in an instant the next, as if it had been evaporated... The difference in firepower was clear at a glance.

The expression on the reporter's face that was observing all this changed. She was not shocked, but...

Became expressionless.
