Pirates: It's not a mythical beast, it's a phantom god

But no one scolded them, not even Kaido and King said anything, as if they were deliberately giving them time to adapt.

"Eh? Look at that fountain statue at the door. Doesn't it look like Boss Kaido?"

One of the pirates said curiously, kicking the person next to him.

"No way~ I remember Kaido's dragon form looked quite majestic, but this one just feels a bit dull~"

"That's right, and with a water pipe in his mouth, he looks even sillier~"

"Hmm. I don't know who came up with this idea... Eh? By the way, who are you?"

"Huh? It's me, Disbi?"

"Disbi? How did you become like this?"

The pirate named Handica's tone was full of surprise. In his impression, the man named Disbi had always been a show-off who cared a lot about his appearance.

The person in front of him looked disheveled and had probably not taken care of himself for several months.

"Nothing, I just think this vicissitudes of life style is more suitable for my handsome appearance."

"Haha! Your personality hasn't changed at all, you're still as showy as ever."

The two people who were speaking were disabled people, one was missing both arms, and the other had one arm and one leg broken.

"By the way, Disibi, was that also someone that Boss Burfat hired? I didn't expect this factory would even hire someone like you."

"Look at what you're saying. I was begging well on Beggar Island, but I didn't expect Lord Burfat to transfer me here with a transfer order."

"Ah~ It's not that working in this factory is bad. After all, it's also our Baishou industry, but compared to begging, it's still a little less free and easy..."

Disibi, who was missing two arms, shook his hair and said proudly.

It's just that because he hadn't washed his hair for a long time, it had already clumped together, and shaking it only pulled out a few lice.

"You... Hey, if only Pride could be as optimistic as you."

Handika sighed, feeling sorry for her once high-spirited friend.

"That Pride guy is just too proud. With his strength, he could have easily challenged for the position of team leader, but he suddenly became disabled... It's normal for him to be depressed given his personality."

The person who suddenly interrupted was a middle-aged man sitting in a worn wheelchair.

He had a resolute face and muscular upper body, but his trouser legs were empty.

"Brother Zod?"

"You're still alive?"

"Hahaha! Of course, I'm not so useless that I can't survive without losing my two legs!"

Although he has lost his legs, the man still looks passionate and optimistic. He is a man who never gives up.

"Now that Brother Burfat is recruiting troops, how can I not come?"

"But I didn't expect that they called us here so hastily for something like this~"

The middle-aged man looked at the many familiar faces in the crowd who were missing limbs, then looked at the magnificent weapons factory in front of him and sighed.

"I heard that this method was proposed by Master La... I didn't expect that Master would actually notice us useless guys and give us another bite to eat..."

Zod actually had no impression of La. He only saw her from a distance once when she had just joined the pirate group. After that, she lost both legs in the battle and then withdrew from the pirate group on her own.

Unexpectedly, the girl he had only met once gave him another chance in his interrupted life today.

The disability rate of the pirate profession is actually quite high.

Especially in a pirate group like the Beasts, which is famous for its military power, it is inevitable that some of them will be unlucky when they go out to sea and be blown off limbs by the enemy or cannons.

Pirates who are so injured that they can no longer fight will generally be abandoned. After all, the pirate group is not a charity organization, and they will not support those disabled people for nothing.

Those abandoned pirates, who have no other skills except chopping people, often find it difficult to find other jobs after being kicked out of the pirate group.

Some pirates who are lucky and have a bit of foresight can still rely on the wealth they have saved to barely survive for a while. Those who are unlucky and spend money extravagantly will most likely beg on the streets and starve to death.

It's cruel and realistic.

Fortunately, since the reforms within the group proposed by La were implemented, the opportunities for going out to fight have been greatly reduced, and the disability rate of grassroots pirates has also decreased.

This is also the reason why the combat teams stationed on the island, although very dissatisfied with the regulations restricting looting, did not cause large-scale disturbances.

After all, everyone has seen what happened to those guys abandoned by the pirate group. Although their income is lower now, they are safer.

When La learned about this situation, in line with the principle of not wasting, he also arranged a place for those abandoned pirates.

Since you can't chop people, just screw in the screws.

The current Beasts is no longer a pure pirate group like before. In the process of gradually transforming into a regional armed force, it also has its own production department, and these members who cannot fight can naturally be arranged.

Moreover, these eliminated pirates not only have simple social relationships, know each other well, and have no involvement with other forces, but they themselves are also a pretty perfect signboard.

Their existence clearly tells others that even if you are accidentally injured in battle, the beasts will not abandon you, and you can still have a home in the pirate group.

This is undoubtedly a shot in the arm to boost morale and team cohesion.

Therefore, when La proposed this idea, he almost immediately gained the support of almost everyone in the group, so much so that the pirate group privately called this proposal the "Angel's Gate".

The moral is that God closes one door for you, and the angel opens another for you.

The happiest one among them was Burfat.

He has a strong sense of brotherhood and whenever he sees his family members begging on the street, he can't help but step forward to help.

But his power alone is really limited, and Kaido and King never care about it. This once made Burfat fall into self-doubt of "I can't do anything".

Now that there was a way to have the best of both worlds, he immediately set out at night to gather all the injured pirates within the Hundred Beasts' territory.

"Ahem!"

"Quiet!"

Seeing that these people had almost finished reminiscing about the past, Burfat stepped forward, opened his hands and said with a smile:

"Welcome home!"

Chapter 171 Revolver

After a series of clichéd processes, Baishou’s first weapons factory was finally successfully completed, but it did not start operation immediately as expected.

On the one hand, those special employees who are recruited again need to learn how to operate the machines and other work processes under the guidance of professional technicians.

After all, they are either missing arms or legs, and it takes two or three people working together to barely constitute a complete labor force.

Of course, their salary is only a fraction of that of normal people.

After all, this is still a pirate group, not a charity, let alone a nursing home.

However, for these people, the free three meals a day provided by the factory are actually enough and much better than begging outside.

On the other hand, in a small building with a high-tech appearance on the side of the factory, Ou Bei was discussing the first type of weapons for Baishou with the weapons experts and engineers recruited from the South China Sea.

"Obe...Miss, is this your design?"

A researcher wearing circle glasses and a mustache said as he looked at the drawings in his hands.

"It's not really mine, it's just someone else's idea copied down."

"Oh~"

The researcher nodded, thinking that it was indeed the case.

"The design of this revolver pistol is truly ingenious. Compared to the flintlock firearms on the market, it offers a revolutionary advantage."

The revolver, or revolver, was the first weapon that Obey planned to launch after careful consideration.

This type of pistol is actually not advanced. In modern times, it has been basically replaced by semi-automatic pistols and has gradually become a hunting rifle or police pistol.

But in a world where the front-loading flintlock is the main handheld firearm, it has absolute advantages.

The overall structure is simple, the parts processing technology is not complicated, and most importantly, it will not jam and the integrated ammunition design is extremely waterproof.

This is a life-threatening indicator on a battlefield where naval battles are the main focus and life and death are at stake.

"Yes."

Another older weapons engineer took the revolver blueprint and exclaimed in amazement as he looked at it:

"Whether it's rate of fire, reload time, ammunition capacity, theoretical range, accuracy, or waterproofness, it far surpasses the flintlock pistol."

"If this thing is invented, I'm afraid all the firearms on the market will be unsalable."

After all, it is a design that is several versions ahead, so it is normal to achieve comprehensive crushing in six-dimensional attributes.

"And, and ...

A researcher in a gorgeous dress snatched the blueprint, then danced with it in her arms.

I have to say that these guys, who were hired at a high price, are talented. Basically, everyone can understand the principles and advantages of a revolver at a glance.

But as for these people's personalities... they have all kinds of quirks, just like the two-meter-tall strong man who was dancing just now.

"If there are no other problems, we can modify the parameters of those devices according to the specifications required to produce this type of weapon."

For a brand new weapon, there is certainly no suitable production equipment on the market, so you can only buy a universal one and modify it yourself.

Fortunately, for these hardcore experts with MAX hands-on ability, it is very simple to modify a device.

After all, most of the instruments they used in their own research had undergone their own imaginative modifications.

……

Two days later, as the old master from the former Baishou Weapon Logistics Department pressed down the handle hard, an exquisite and classic .38 caliber bullet was successfully produced.

The old master carefully took the bright yellow bullet off the pressing table and looked at it carefully in the palm of his hand.

This little guy is so beautiful.

Compared to the traditional lead bullets with bumpy surfaces, she looks like an exquisitely dressed princess.

"Master, this..."

The apprentices and other workers around came over and surrounded them in three layers.

They rushed to see the first bullet produced by their factory, just like the people of a kingdom looking at a newborn princess.

"Here you go, pass it around."

"After you've finished reading it, remember to send it to Lady Oubey and tell her that the equipment is functioning properly."

The master handed the bullet to his eldest apprentice, then clapped his hands and went to check the production line of the pistol.

The first batch of finished revolvers had actually been produced yesterday.

After all, apart from the rifling and firing pin process, the other mechanical structures are quite simple, unlike bullets, which also require consideration of gunpowder and primer issues.

Looking at the neatly arranged, silver-gleaming revolvers in the box, the old master was a little dazed.

This is what's left after the batch was taken away for inspection yesterday. They didn't receive any order to continue production until the performance test was completed.

Picking up one from among them, the master flicked his wrist...

click!

The barrel-shaped magazine pops out from the left side.

Swah——

With a gentle flick of the finger, the pleasant sound of the mechanical rotor reaches your ears.

click!

Another gentle flick of the wrist resets the cylinder.

Having dealt with weapons all his life, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart as he looked at these guns that looked like works of art:

"It's really impeccable..."

"These elegant ladies will surely captivate the young men on the sea..."

In fact, even he, an old man in his sixties, couldn't let go of these revolvers.

……

boom!

The bullet hit the bull's eye.
