Pirate: My Piltover technology is far ahead!

Chapter 45: Prelude to Fame at Sea

In the first half of the Grand Line, on Tamonda Island, MADS ships are docked for rest and repair. This island was not peaceful to begin with; two nations had been at war for many years over the right to control the island.

Today, both the rulers and the people are tired of this war, but in order to save face, no one is willing to be the first to stop fighting.

The reason for their ceasefire was Vegapunk's invention of the GP Flower.

After Kate's hands-on experience, she concluded that Vegapunk's flower bullets were not suitable for frontal battles, but rather for infiltration operations by special teams. Thus, Bakkin once again became the hired labor force.

Under the cover of night, she threw flower bullets into the armories of both sides' vanguards. When they fought another decisive battle the next day, both gun barrels and cannons spewed out only flowers. Even the tanks charging across the plains were eventually covered in flowers.

The long-running war finally came to an end amidst the sea of ​​flowers. The two sides began peace negotiations, and the newspaper's reporters arrived on time as arranged by Feld. Along with Oran's previous design, they were featured on the front page of the newspaper.

"Orland! Today's newspaper!"

[Ibel Prize nominees announced; a friendship between a brilliant doctor and a brilliant scientist.]

Kate returned to the ship with today's newspaper, which contained half-truths and half-false information about Oran and Vegapunk. Under Feld's financial offensive, the newspaper's reporters didn't mind spending more ink praising Oran and Vegapunk.

Some of them were even a bit too forceful, and even Oran, the person involved, found them strange.

Because Oran's goal was the Nobel Prize in Medicine, and Feld's staff felt that the two scientists were somewhat redundant, they emphasized Oran's breakthroughs in medical prosthetics.

"On a journey for peace, like-minded friends will bring new blessings to the world. These people really dare to say anything."

Oran put down the engine in his hand. The technology tree of this sea was abnormal to begin with. For example, the people on this island had developed the tank technology tree. Although the tank armor was just a thin can in Oran's eyes, it was enough to stop flintlock bullets.

The only thing that could interest Oran was the tank engines. Oran had originally thought that since the island had unlocked the tank technology tree, it must have a stable oil mine.

As a result, their energy source was charcoal, and the people here managed to find a way to drive light tanks in a limited environment.

"I think they're quite right. Aren't you changing the world?"

"This can hardly be called a change; it's just the beginning. If we keep letting those useless people sit in the top positions, there will be too many limitations."

The World Government has a lot of negative reviews, whether it's the chaos it deliberately creates to maintain its rule or the oppression of the entire ocean under the Celestial Dragons' supremacist ideology.

You could say it's bad, but you can't say it's incompetent. The World Government does indeed possess the strongest military force on the seas, but in Oran's eyes, the World Government's efficiency is outrageously low.

Rather than calling it the World Government, it's more accurate to say that the entire World Government is the steward of the Celestial Dragons. They have never considered development and progress; everything they do is to make the existence of the Celestial Dragons more justifiable.

Whether for their own return gifts or to embark on a grander plan in this world, change is an indispensable step for Oran.

"It's too early to talk about that now, Kate. Prepare for battle. We're going to be very busy in the next few days."

The newspaper also revealed their current location, which is Piekro's best chance if he has any ideas.

This is also a test, to see if the World Government has any clues about what happened at God Valley.

Logically, there shouldn't be any problem, since only Kate and a few others know his true identity. Most people don't even know his name, let alone his face, which was covered up tightly at the time.

The remaining people scattered to different places after escaping. Given the huge population base and inconvenient transportation, these people were just a drop in the ocean.

Not to mention that the World Government had no idea what had happened, couldn't even find the head of the matter, let alone investigate further.

But ultimately, some things must be done just in case. Only by having the worst-case scenario in mind can we cope with different changes. If this leads to any trouble, then Oran will activate his backup plan.

That was a small piece of equipment he carried, a replica of the Z-type drive unit.

Ekko, a genius boy from Zaun and the Time Assassin, accidentally created an unexpected creation, the effect of which is simple - time travel.

Due to differences in the structure of Hextech crystals, variations in construction, and material limitations, Oran's can only be used once.

However, compared to Ike's work, Oran's work is more stable and spans a longer period of time, giving him a chance to start over in times of crisis. This is Oran's biggest trump card right now.

While Oran and his team prepared for the potential troubles to come, people in other areas also saw the news in the newspapers.

In the South China Sea, in the Kingdom of Sorbe, a bear is studying the notes left by Oran, learning about related knowledge.

Oran handed the factory over to him and Ginny, which at least gave them a stable source of income so they wouldn't have to make a living by chopping wood or fishing. In just over two years, the church where they lived was renovated, and their lives improved considerably.

"Bear! It's news from Brother Oran! Look at this!"

Ginny pushed open the door and entered, carrying a newspaper with some oil stains on it, which showed what she had been doing.

"Iberia Medal nomination. Oran is truly a kind person; this means there's hope for those whose bodies are disabled due to accidents."

"I heard that as long as the nomination for this award is published in the newspaper, winning it is a sure thing. But is this really Oran's goal? It feels like this alone can't achieve his objective."

"That's not important. Brother Oran must have his own ideas. We just need to handle the things he entrusted to us well and not let him down."

The Grand Line, the Kingdom of Kamabakka.

"Little Ivan~ Here's today's newspaper, keep it safe~"

Ivankov was the first to leave the Kingdom of Sorbe and, by chance, came to this island where transvestites lived.

Here, he seemed to awaken his true self, began to learn the island's unique cuisine from the islanders, and gradually grew stronger as a new human.

"Orlan?! I knew he wasn't the type to stay quiet. So he's finally making his move? Hehe!"

"Is he someone you know, little Ivan? Her Majesty the Queen said he's a remarkable man too~"

"Of course! I need to work even harder too. Come on, Marilyn, let's begin today's training!"

"You're really full of energy, huh? Well then, I won't hold back! The New Transvestite Fist Technique: The Secret of Health Preservation! Youthful Dreams Shattering Kick!"

Their names and voices are very feminine, but their stubble-faced features reveal their undefinable gender. Being at the forefront of the genre, they have long since developed a unique set of techniques.

However, not everyone shared this attitude. In a dark room, Piecrow, wearing a laughing clown mask, kicked over the table in front of him.

"Damn it, we finally got wind of you!"

bass!

A huge scythe appeared in Piekro's hand. With a swing of the scythe, the newspaper with Oran's picture was instantly split in two, and the huge scythe was embedded directly into the bricks next to it.

"This time, you won't get away. Notify all available assassins at headquarters to contact the organ trafficking assassination group. Seize this opportunity and take him down!"

Note: On the cover page of chapter 1073 of the manga, a country does indeed point out the technology tree for tanks.
