Roger Town is the place where the pirate king Gol D. Roger was executed. It is also the only way for East China Sea pirates to lead to the Grand Route. It is now guarded by Captain Smoker of the Navy Headquarters.
Smoker is a user with natural abilities, and his strength should not be underestimated. With the Straw Hats' combat power, it is estimated that if they were to confront him head-on, they would most likely be annihilated.
Although Xia Tian knows this, he is not worried. After all, Luffy's father, the revolutionary leader Long Ke who is known as the world's most vicious criminal, is hanging around here. With the dragon protecting them in secret, Luffy and his group won't have any problems at all.
The navy didn't know this. After Luffy and others landed, they reported the news to Smoker.
Smoker pinched his chin and said: "A disciple of the Demon King actually joined such a small pirate group. If something goes wrong, there must be a monster. I must catch the captain and see what is special about him."
As soon as he left, Smoker, a practical man, picked up his weapon "Ten Hands" and walked out of the office, and at the same time began to mobilize the navy in the town.
Soon, Smoker and the others arrived at the port and captured some minor characters. The careless Luffy passed by Smoker and even asked him for directions.
Xia Tian sat on the boat and saw the dramatic scene. He smiled and said to a man in a cloak beside him: "It would be very interesting if Smoker knew that the person he wanted to arrest was the boy who just asked him for directions. Bar!"
The cloaked man was noncommittal, glanced at him and said, "I'm more interested in your purpose than this."
Xia Tian shrugged and said: "I was just looking for a place to go on vacation. Your son's pirate group was very interesting, so I stayed."
The man in the cloak is a revolutionary. Hearing this, he said quietly: "Children have their own adventures. I hope you won't get involved."
"If it weren't for that damn mission, I wouldn't be willing to leave the Crystal!" Xia Tian complained in his heart, and said seriously: "It seems that you already know my identity, but you don't have to worry about this, I won't interfere. The growth of these children. After all, you probably didn¡¯t show up in front of me just for a casual chat!¡±
Long looked up at the sky and said solemnly: "The navy's crystal core weapons have brought considerable losses to our revolutionary army. For this reason, I hope to cooperate with you."
Xia Tian grinned and said: "You have taken a fancy to my Black Knight? It's a pity that it can't be taken out. I can help you think of other things."
Long¡¯s face was expressionless, as if he had already expected this answer. He took out a crystal core of extremely high purity and said calmly: "It shouldn't be a problem to copy the crystal core weapon!"
"So this is your purpose." Xia Tian suddenly realized that Long had probably expected that he would not sell the Black Knight. After all, even if it was a drone, it still had the power to destroy a small country. Through the technological level of the Black Knight, this cunning guy deduced that he had scientists at his disposal who were comparable to or even surpassed Vegapunk. So he deliberately put forward conditions that he refused, and then tried to retreat in order to advance.
Although Xia Tian was annoyed by Long's cunning, there was no need to be at odds with the crystal core, so he opened his mouth and said: "I will provide you with a kind of power armor that is more advanced than the navy, but I don't charge money, just the crystal core."
Long said calmly: "Do you have a sample?"
Xia Tian pulled out a piece of mechanical armor full of technology from the space and handed it to Long.
The Navy keeps its crystal core weapons very tightly, and usually only those with the rank of colonel or above from the Navy Headquarters are qualified to use them, and they are equipped with self-destruction devices.
Although Long had never eaten pork, he had at least seen pigs running away. After a few casual looks, he saw that the structures of the two sets of armor were very different. The biggest difference was that the power armor did not have a crystal core.
In fact, the Navy's crystal core weapon structure is very simple. It is just a set of exoskeleton armor equipped with an energy transmission device, which completely relies on the crystal core on the chest of the armor to provide energy.
Akainu was able to tie with Xia Tian in the first place because he relied on the A-grade crystal core to fully increase his strength and exploded to twice his own strength. However, after using it, the outer armor of the crystal core weapon was basically useless, and most of the energy of the crystal core was consumed. It can be said that the crystal core weapon is a failed product. If the Navy were not eager to restore its reputation, it would definitely study it for a few more years before putting it into use.
"The power armor in Long's hands was jointly developed by Xiao Zhizhi and Heimerdinger. They used the rune technology developed by Xin to strengthen it. Although the attack amplification is not as strong as the low-level crystal core weapons, the defense and endurance are far better than the low-level crystal core weapons.
?????After many tests on the pirates caught in the summer, even an ordinaryWearing power armor, it can also deal with four to five low-level crystal core armed users with full firepower. If it is replaced by a person with good force, it will be no problem to pick ten at a time.
But as the saying goes, seeing is believing, Xia Tian did not directly sell it, but asked Long to take it back and try it, and then contact someone else. Anyway, he is not afraid of defaulting on the bill.
Long directly put on the power armor and performed a few tricks on the deck. After feeling the armor's amplifying effect, he immediately finalized the deal.
"I will take as much armor as you have. I hope the price is not too outrageous."
Xia Tian showed his white teeth and said: "I can provide you with a thousand sets of this thing, and the price is all the crystal nuclei in the hands of your revolutionary army."
Long did not answer after hearing this, but considered it in his mind. After a long time, he said: "We need to discuss the price again. Another thing is, if we can continue to provide you with crystal cores, can we get more or stronger power armor." Although this person is not He knew too well the value of the crystal core in Xia Tian's eyes, but since the other party wanted it, he gave him a chance to bargain.
Xia Tian also knew that he could not deceive the cunning dragon, so he spread his hands pretending to be helpless and said: "Power armor is okay, but stronger things are not. Because that is the Black Knight, so you understand."
Developing stronger power armor is not a problem, but it will affect the development of IS armor. After all, it is not a perfect product and requires a lot of research.
Long didn¡¯t care, after all, the power armor was already very satisfactory. With this thing, the Revolutionary Army has an advantage over the Navy in terms of low-end force, and the Revolutionary Army is following the path of greater strength with more people.
"Don't you need me to get you a self-destruct device?" Seeing that Long was about to leave, Xia Tian suddenly asked.
"It's up to you." The dragon said without looking back, and then left quickly.
Xia Tian heard the words and complained secretly: "You stinking fox, you know that the revolutionary army cannot copy this kind of thing, and I can't let the technology of power armor leak out, so I pretend to be indifferent. If I am not happy, I will deliberately I don¡¯t know what your reaction would be if it were leaked to the Navy.¡±
After venting a few words in his heart, Xia Tian suddenly looked at Rogge Town and said with a smile: "Calculating the time, I should go and have a look."
