One Piece: God Killer
Chapter 385 Snail Boat
"This..." Jiazhi's heart trembled.
It's finally here, it's finally here! After cloning technology and weapons technology, the devil Proficient finally set his sights on Germa 66's unique snail ship.
But he found that he actually had some vague feeling of "expectation".
Whether it was the cloning technology of bloodline factors, the Germa weapons manufacturing technology, or even the help in population transfer, the rewards given by Profik made Judge quite satisfied.
So what price will Profik offer him this time?
"Don't worry, I guarantee you'll be satisfied with the reward." As if he knew what Judge was thinking, Profek first gave the King of Germa a reassurance.
Judge then spoke: "People often only know about 'Den Den Mushi' but not 'Giant Sea Snail'. The snail ship of our Germa 66 was trained by the Giant Sea Snail. This creature..."
According to Judge, the giant sea snail is a giant snail that lives in special sea areas. They are used to "crawling" on the sea surface in groups, relying on filtering algae and plankton from the surface seawater for survival. These creatures have huge "shells" that are often covered with dust and various plants due to long-term exposure to the sea surface.
Some older giant sea snails have such bulging backs that they are almost like a small island.
It was precisely because of this characteristic of the giant sea snail that Germa 66 had a "flash of inspiration" and thought that since the giant sea snails could carry so many things on their backs, they should be able to train them into ships.
"So, you, Germa 66, can train these wild snails into ships?"
"That's right," Judge said proudly, "but it's not an adult giant sea snail, but its young. Although the giant sea snail is huge, it still has to lay eggs, and they can't take care of their own eggs. As long as I can catch a newly born snail, I am 50% sure that I can train it into a qualified snail boat."
Unexpectedly, besides being a scientist, this guy Jiazhi is also an excellent biologist!
What is even more surprising is that the giant snail, the giant sea snail, is actually a close relative of the small mini-animal, the Den Den Mushi.
"I just don't know why you ask these questions..."
Judge bent down, put his hands in front of him, and asked in a flattering manner.
"I want to set up a 'snail' shipping company, and all of its ships will be made up of this special type of ship. If you agree, we can cooperate. You will own 20% of the shares, and you will not be responsible for the operation. In addition, for every complete 'snail ship' you train, I will give you 300 million Baileys!"
Jiazhi was stunned. Is it so easy to make money nowadays?
Jiazhi was a little dazed for a moment. Three hundred million berries, that’s three hundred million!
Even for a war group like Germa, 300 million is not a small sum. Of course they can afford it, but they are definitely not as "rich" as Profik, who is even a little "casual". At least they can't spend 300 million to buy a ship.
In fact, 300 million berries is really just a small number. According to Profick's estimation, if one wants to build a steel ship with the same carrying capacity and combat power, the cost will definitely be far more than 1 billion berries. Not to mention that these snails have the ability to move on land, even landing ships cannot do this.
What Profik really wanted to impress Jiazhi was "20% of the shares." But now it seems that Jiazhi still can't understand what the word "shares" means.
As if afraid that Jiazhi was not interested enough, Profek immediately raised the price: "The cost of training the snail is yours, and I will reimburse the construction materials! The condition is that I don't want any third party to own any such ship except us. Do you understand me?"
"I understand, I understand, but... this?"
"Are you still not satisfied?"
"No, I, Jiazhi, will do this deal!" Jiazhi was afraid of losing the business, so he immediately agreed.
Then, he said in a low voice somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm just curious, Lord Profick, what do you want this kind of ship for? Don't look at the appearance of the snail ship, its combat effectiveness..."
Before, Judge was still very confident about the combat capability of this ship that could carry a large number of artillery and was both offensive and defensive. But after seeing Profik's military strength, he felt that even three or five snail ships, let alone one, would not be able to defeat Profik.
"Jajji, get out of your pathetic war mindset!"
Profek said with a disappointed look.
The guys in the pirate world are not stupid, but many of them have a "war brain" and want to fight and kill at every turn.
Is this good?
This is not good!
In Profick's opinion, since we have pinned our dreams on the sea, why not use our brains more?
"What I want to do is trade, trade!"
"Seastone, iron ore, famous swords, and munitions from Wano Country, corals, shellfish, and desserts from Fishman Island, wood from the Kingdom of Vala, perfumes and clothing from Alabasta, preserved fruits and canned goods from the Kingdom of Stars, medicines from Drum Island and Detrick Island, spices, delicacies, and ships from the Seven Waters. Just think about it. When these things are unimpeded on the Grand Route and even the four seas, we can get 1000% profit from them!"
"And the snail ship - with its unparalleled maneuverability, super-powerful transport capacity, and unrivaled combat power! It will become one of the most important safeguards for this trade empire!"
Previously, Profik had wanted to seek shipping cooperation with the "Shipping King" Umit.
There are many difficult-to-reach sea areas in the world of pirates, and the cost of shipping is also quite high. However, Umit "happens" to control many secret routes, and his ocean delivery capabilities are unparalleled.
According to the information he got from Stussy, who was also an "emperor" of the underground world, two-thirds of the goods transported in the New World were transported through Umit. The transportation of contraband was almost entirely handled by Umit.
Whether it is the Four Emperors, the other pirates, the World Government, or even the Navy, they all have close ties with Umit.
Profik originally wanted to establish contact with Umit through the trading company on St. Pruett Island to see if there could be further cooperation.
But with the snail ship of Germa 66, Profick felt that Umit's importance was reduced.
Compared with Umit, the Vinsmoke family leader Judge, who is still "afraid of death" and relatively weak, is more suitable as a target for cooperation. Moreover, Profek owed Judge a favor in the Sora incident, so the two sides still have a little basis for cooperation.
"Besides, don't you think this kind of boat is very special and interesting? I think if we sell the qualification to ride the snail boat."
Faced with the beautiful blueprint drawn by Profek, Judge was a little confused. Arms and minerals were fine, Germa's sideline business also included such businesses, which were indeed quite profitable. But spices, shellfish, canned food, clothing, these "odd things" really make money?
Jiazhi expressed his doubts, but it was not easy to raise them in person.
After all, we have to get the 300 million first no matter what.
Profick didn't care. Cultivating business thinking is not a job that can be accomplished in a short time. It is normal for a conspirator like Jiazhi to have some reservations. All he needs to do is to ensure that he can suppress the opponent in terms of strength, so that Jiazhi dare not act rashly and achieve the purpose of cooperation.
As long as he earns his first pot of gold, Profik believes that Jiazhi will be tempted.
The maneuverability of Germa 66 was very strong. In just two weeks, it carried hundreds of thousands of people from Frevans across most of the doldrums and reached the edge of the doldrums from the North Sea.
Soon, a large group of refugees from the Kingdom of Frevans began to work on the island.
Their goal was to establish a new nation on the island.
