In fact, in One Piece's world, as long as one had money, most things could be bought. It was just that some things were more difficult to buy, such as the Devil's Fruit and the Sea Tower Stone. There were also cannons. Generally, cannons that weighed less than 12 pounds were easy to buy, and many small countries could easily make them themselves. However, cannons that weighed more than 18 pounds were difficult to buy and sell. Even if one wanted to make them, they needed high technology.
As for the 24-pound cannon that Gorb had obtained, it was something that the navy and the world government strictly prohibited from buying, selling, and manufacturing. Generally, only naval warships, various branches, and branches, or only countries that joined the world government were allowed to own and manufacture it. It was also priceless on the black market. Every time it appeared, it would be bought by various pirate groups, major chambers of commerce, and various non-world countries (basically weak countries).
Of course, pirates would not only buy from the black market. They would also sink and capture naval warships, or take down naval branches, branch fortresses, or cities or countries of the world government. This way, they would obtain more supplies and weapons.
……
Time flew by. Three days later, at the eastern port of Kigia Island.
A three-sail wolf-headed warship that was more than 100 meters long and had a black background and white stripes was moored in the middle of the harbor like a small mountain. The other ships were all driven to the side, at least 100 meters away from the wolf-headed warship.
Hundreds of men in suits and thousands of hooligans in different colors surrounded the port.
Standing on the shore, Arida looked at the warship in front of him. Dozens of gang members were cleaning the deck, and there were many people below who were moving food, water, and other important supplies up. Although these people were very busy, they were unusually excited and excited.
In his heart, he was still very satisfied. Compared to the first ship in the original novel, the Golden Meryl, this was much better. From this point alone, Arida despised him completely.
Arida had named the ship the Chris. It was 127 meters long, 33 meters wide, 21 meters tall, and had a draft of four meters. It had three large sails, the front sail, the main sail, and the rear sail. The entire ship was built with the best ironwood on Chigia Island, and it was wrapped in a layer of iron armor. However, because the best ironwood was very rare, it would not have taken two and a half years to complete.
There were a total of 64 cannons, 42 of which were 18-pounders, 18 of which were 24-pounders, and four of which were 32-pounders.
There was a triple turret at the bow and stern, with one 32-pounder cannon and two 24-pounder cannons respectively. On both sides were twenty-one 18-pounder cannons, six 24-pounder cannons, and one 32-pounder cannon respectively. It could be said that the firepower was very powerful. Although it was not as powerful as the large-caliber cannons of the Demon Slayer Warship, it had more cannons than the Demon Slayer Warship.
Arida was a person who loved to enjoy life. Due to the massive size of the Chris, it could easily accommodate up to a thousand people. Therefore, Arida had specially built many rooms with other functions so that Arida would not be too bored during the boring voyage.
In this regard, Arida suspected that the pirates often robbed others because they were too bored on the sea, so they wanted to have some fun.
"Hey, hey, Boss, we're almost ready. Do you want to board?”
At this moment, a figure suddenly popped out from the boat and asked Arida lazily, looking as if he had not woken up.
"Hey, did you drink too much last night?”
Looking at his sleepy face, the blue-haired Allaine roared loudly on the shore.
"Oliver, can't you wake up? Today is the day we go out to sea!”
Arida was helpless. He jumped onto the deck of the Chris, which was tens of meters away from him. Looking at the number one expert under his command, Arida wished he could throw him into the sea and wake him up.
Indeed, this person was one of the two most powerful fighters under Arida, Oliver. He was also the strongest person other than Arida and was a Two-Blade Swordsman.
He was wearing a white coat, his chest bare, and there was a hideous wound on his chest. Two one-meter-long katana hung on his waist, and he wore black tight pants and a pair of black round-headed thick-soled shoes. He lazily squinted his eyes, had a hooked nose, and thin lips. He looked a little cold, but looking at his lazy appearance, he felt that this person was very lazy. It was a very contradictory feeling.
" Hah!" After a long yawn, Oliver stretched and squinted at Arida."Boss, I trained too late last night.”
"…" Arida: " Do you think I'll believe you?"”
"Captain, everything is ready.”A tall and thin young man wearing a blue coat walked over with a smile.
It turned out that Allaine and Gorb had brought many of their brothers onto the ship through the stairs, and all the supplies had been moved up.
"Then get ready, Demetrio."
Seeing that all the preparations were done, and that the guy in front of him was much sturdier and more mature than before, Arida patted him on the shoulder.
Turning around, Arida took a step forward and stood on the railing of the deck. At this moment, the shore was already filled with countless hooligans and ordinary people. He took a deep breath and shouted at the people below,"Brothers, from today onwards, our Chris gang is disbanded.”
"Whoosh…"
Many people below were shocked. They did not expect the number one gang on Chigia Island to disband.
They didn't like gangs, but they had to understand that it was only during the era of the Chris Gang that it was safest to do business on their territory. Although they also charged protection fees, the protection fees were only half of what they had in the past. Moreover, there were no other kinds of exploitation fees. Even pirates didn't dare to be arrogant on the Chris Gang's territory. It could be said that in this era of pirates, compared to most other islands, this was almost a paradise.
"Then, the Chris Pirates will be established from today onwards.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the sail of the main mast suddenly fell with a whoosh. At the same time, a flag rose from the top of the main mast.
On the sail and flag was a skull flag representing the pirates. It had a black background and a white skull. On the back of the skull was a sword (Tang sword) and a sword (Han sword). There was a golden ring hanging on the hilt with the word 'strength' on it. There was also a golden ring hanging on the hilt with the word 'freedom' on it, written in Chinese.
This time, most people were even more shocked.
Many hooligans on the shore immediately cried out.
"No, Boss Arida, bring me along.”
"I also want to become a member of the Chris Pirates.”
"Boss, I'm about to become an official member, don't abandon me.”
"Please, take me with you. The sea is where men should go.”
……
"Hahaha…there are always so many opportunities. If you miss them, it will be hard to salvage them.”
Looking at the scene below, Arida laughed."No one can stop a man from going out to sea. If you want to go out to sea and find us on the great sea route, you can carry my name on your back.”
"Brothers, raise the sails and set sail!"
"Yes, Captain!"
The hundreds of people on the ship shouted.
The sails were raised, and the Chris started moving.
