Sailing: The crew members are all top-notch talents!

"I didn't expect to leave so soon. Before I go, may I take a look at how plump these two beautiful ladies are?"

"Get out of here!!!"

boom-

Everyone: (│Cheng)

Kaido: What kind of show is this?!

"There's one more thing. Unless absolutely necessary, you must not reveal your true identities. Try your best not to let the Navy or the World Government find out!"

This wasn't difficult for the shadowy figure.

After all, with the power of the Coal-Coal Fruit, he can change his appearance at will.

"Don't worry, boss, we'll be careful!"

"You don't need to worry about money; I will cover all your initial expenses!"

Currently, Hajrudin has developed the power of the Momo-Momo Fruit to a hundredfold increase, and the gold in the system warehouse has reached an astonishing tens of trillions!

There are trillions of dollars worth of diamonds!

This money is enough to support him for a long time!

Of course, Renault won't just sit around doing nothing!

"Rogge, Jess!"

"captain!"

"Boss!"

"What you two need to do is establish merchant guilds throughout the four seas, the Grand Line, and the New World, and collect as much gold and diamonds as possible!"

"Try to use multiple methods to avoid attracting attention!"

"We can buy them directly, and give them 50% or even 10% more Pelé than the market price!"

"We could also lend them money at exorbitant interest rates, and have them repay with gold and diamonds, which would reduce some of the interest!"

"......"

Gather the gold and diamonds from the six regions, even if it's just a small portion.

That's not something that a little gold from Sky Island can compare to!

Then we can use the Momo-Momo Fruit's power to amplify it a hundredfold; that's the right way to make money!

Reno tested it and found that using the Momo-Momo Fruit ability on gold that had already been amplified a hundredfold was no longer effective.

Otherwise, he wouldn't need to go through all this trouble.

093 A world-shaking conspiracy, unusual activity! Close attention to Locus!

"Jess, your Rumble-Rumble Fruit is too conspicuous. Don't reveal your ability unless absolutely necessary. Of course, safety should always be the priority!"

"In this matter, you will fully support Rogge!"

While Jess is strong, he is completely clueless in other areas.

Although Rogge is not particularly strong, he has expertise in various fields and is steady in his work, so Renault trusts him quite a bit.

"Don't worry, boss!" Roger and Jess nodded in unison.

Every decision Renault makes has certainly been carefully considered and taken into account.

They naturally wouldn't question anything.

"Next up are you two!"

Noticing Renault's gaze, Halding and Rupert stepped out at the same time, awaiting orders!

"After you get off at the transit station, the activity area for the three of you and one of you will only be two places."

"One is the South China Sea, and the other is Water City!"

Water City?!

Could it be related to his master, Tom?!

The perceptive Rupert had a vague suspicion.

"The South China Sea is known as the sea of ​​craftsmen, with a large number of craftsmen, including many mechanical masters."

"I want the two of you to recruit craftsmen and secretly build me a mechanical army!"

"A mechanical army controlled by humans!"

Speaking of this, Renault thought of General Franky, created by Franky in the original story.

A large robot formed by the fusion of Black Rhino FR-U IV and Brachiosaurus Tank V.

Equipped with Wapo alloy that has a memory function, as well as many advanced and destructive weapons, it also has extremely strong damage resistance!

Of course, since it's a mass-produced robot, Renault's requirements won't be as high as General Franky's.

Building a mechanical army was a plan he had long ago.

The world of One Piece primarily uses four combat methods: Haki, Devil Fruits, swordsmanship, and physical combat.

But technology is also a powerful force that cannot be ignored!

Such as the combat suits developed by the Germa 66 family, and Franky's General Franky!

The reason it's a niche product is simply because mass production is not possible for various reasons!

But for Renault today, the conditions are entirely in place.

"Rupert, you are in full charge of this matter. You can seek Tom's help with the design."

"I also have a few ideas, we can discuss them later!"

Renault suddenly remembered an anime he had watched in his previous life called "Martial Arts".

The three Great Kings of the Beast Clan each have their own Beast Legion.

Tiger Demon's Black Lion Tiger army, Mad Rift Ape's Black Armored Beast army, and Tyrannosaurus God's Ice Wolf Beast army! (I know there are better references, but I just like this anime, so I included it.)

Forget about the Ice Wolf Beast; that thing can fly.

In the world of One Piece, apart from races that can fly and Devil Fruit users, the only thing that allows 047 to fly is the combat suit developed by the Vinsmoke family.

Putting aside the fact that the technology hasn't been developed yet, the most important thing is that there are still significant differences between humans and robots.

His idea was to use the Black Armor Beast and the Black Lion Tiger as templates, with two forms that could be transformed, combining offense and defense!

"Rupert, once the design issues are resolved, you should secretly recruit craftsmen in the South China Sea and begin experimenting!"

"Every aspect must be done to perfection, and there must be absolutely no mistakes. We must ensure its stability."

"I have only one requirement: once these robots are created, their strength must be at least at the level of a naval lieutenant commander!"

"A naval lieutenant commander?!" Rupert frowned at Renault's request.

Proportionally speaking, even within the navy, a naval lieutenant commander can be considered a minor expert.

The Marineford War involved over 100,000 people, and it would be good if there were a few thousand naval lieutenant commanders among them.

Ninety percent of them were ordinary soldiers.

"Boss, to achieve this requirement, the materials needed must be extremely expensive. They must be both hard and flexible, and cannot be too mechanical."

Regarding the price...

Rupert hesitated, looking somewhat troubled.

He knew Renault had plenty of money, but Renault wanted to build an entire mechanical army, numbering at least several thousand, or even tens of thousands!

Moreover, there are research and development costs, which are the most expensive part.

No one can guarantee how much money it will cost or how many trials it will take to succeed.

"Are you stupid!" Renault rolled his eyes at Rupert when he heard his concerns.

"The reason I let Hajrudin follow you is precisely because of his Momo-Momo Fruit ability!"

"Do you think his ability can only increase the value of gold a hundredfold?"

"Others are fine too, of course. Once we buy the materials you need, just let Haildin touch them a couple of times."

"With just one unit of cost, you can get a hundred finished products!"

Rupert, realizing what was happening, looked at Halding with intense fervor.

He immediately slammed his right fist into his left palm and confidently declared:

"If that's the case, then there's no problem!"

"And then there's the issue of time..."

“You don’t need to worry about that.” Renault waved his hand casually and said, “You guys can proceed with your plans simultaneously. I’ll give you several decades, but by then, I’ll want a mechanical army of tens of thousands!”

"Yes!" Rupert immediately approved!

The most time-consuming part of building a robot is the initial research and development phase.

Height, size, structure, materials, power unit, interior space, equipment configuration, simplicity of the control panel...

(bfaf) Once these are determined and the test is passed.

The rest is much simpler.

Once the assembly line is set up, just get to work!

After receiving Rupert's assurance, Renault nodded slightly.

Then his gaze shifted slightly.

Why are you looking at me like that?!

Noticing Renault's gaze, Flameflower immediately narrowed her eyes, and her tone became much more dangerous.

"Renault, you wouldn't be suggesting I leave you and go to the four seas, would you?!"

Despite the blazing sun, everyone felt a sudden gust of cold wind and shivered involuntarily.

"Cough cough cough... This matter can't be done without you."

Renault coughed twice, looking somewhat embarrassed.

"Nobody would believe you. Just tell me what you want me to do."

The unconventional Flame Flower immediately curled her lip.

When it came to serious matters, Renault became earnest.

"I want you to build my own intelligence organization, a vast intelligence network covering the four seas, the Grand Line, and six regions of the New World!"

"I want to know every move this ocean makes!"

"Not only that, I also want your people to infiltrate all the member states of the World Government. I want to know all their movements and influence and win them over in your own way!"

"Besides these, those powerful non-World Government member states are also your targets!"

"Try to win over those you can, ignore the neutral ones, and as for those die-hard supporters of the World Government, I'll have the Shadow Assassins Guild handle them."

371

Seven twenty-nine

"Also, like them, try not to reveal your identity, and let your subordinates do everything!"

The world government and navy are able to continue operating.

The expenses for recruiting troops, building warships, and other aspects largely come from the celestial gold paid by the member states of the World Government!

To deal with the World Government, Reno has to start with them!

"That's quite an impressive task, Renault. You really think highly of me!"

Flameflower glared fiercely at Renault, spitting out cold words.

Others work in groups of two or three.

When she came here, she not only traveled all over the world, but she was also all alone. What kind of situation is that?!
