One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 1088: Preparations before War (Pirates)
"Be careful, be careful, this thing is very valuable, this is the barrel of the main gun."

On the Red Earth Continent, in the mountains on the side of Marijoa, a group of pirates from the Four Emperors were digging trenches and placing various equipment and tools, but the most important one was a gun barrel that was over thirty meters long.

"Hey, man, why is this thing so long? Why? Can it still be shot into the house of those pigs in Mary Geoise?"

A pirate who looked like he was under Golden Lion's command came over and said with a smile.

"Hey, you guessed it right. The barrel of this thing is so long for a longer range and greater power. This thing can really hit the target with one shot, and can even hit the opposite hill with one shot."

A student-like kid who was in charge of assembly on Baishou's side said with a smile.

"It's really good! Wow, you guys are really amazing. And that little thing is really cool. As long as it's within this range, the observation Haki becomes useless. Hey, it's interesting."

The Golden Lion Pirate looked at the students here and said with a smile.

"Hey, I didn't make this thing. I was just in charge of assembling it. This is a good thing made by Instructor Quinn. Oh, by the way, I will leave after I help you design it. After all, I don't have much combat power. Staying here may affect your combat. By the way, I will teach you how to use these devices. Come and learn them."

The student was obviously a bit talkative, perhaps because he was nervous, his words were a bit incoherent. There was no way around it, anyone would be nervous facing this situation. After all, this was the Red Earth Continent, and they were about to go to war with the World Government. Anyone would be nervous, even those lawless pirates were actually very nervous at this moment. In the atmosphere at this moment, there were only two situations: talkative or silent.

"Okay, I'll be responsible for learning this little gadget. What's the specific range?"

The Golden Lion Pirate picked up a very simple-looking gadget and said, this is an upgraded and smaller version of the Mechanical City's Observation Haki jammer. At this moment, there are a bunch of these things on the top of the hill. After all, this place is too close to Mary Joaquim, who knows if there is anyone in there who can spot them from such a long distance, so the Observation Haki jammer becomes very important, and how to set up and place these Observation Haki jammers has become a science.

"This is very simple, you see..."

The students did not stop working and were still assembling various equipment. They also kept introducing the use of the observation Haki jammers. The same scene appeared everywhere in this mountain range. Yes, this is not an isolated mountain, and there is more than one camp. There is a combat camp on each hilltop. Similarly, each camp has at least one main gun. After all, with Quinn's current fear of insufficient firepower, he wished he could turn the entire mountain range into a steel fortress made of Dai's special metal and then crush it all the way.

But this is definitely impossible. Apart from anything else, even if Dai awakens, she can't produce so much metal for Quinn and the others to squander. These are two mountain ranges! Not two earth slopes. Although the awakened mythical beasts can easily change the terrain of a place just like the natural system, you have to look at what kind of metal Quinn wants. That is what Vegapunk calls dream metal. It seems like an impossible dream.

High temperature resistant, low temperature resistant, corrosion resistant, super plasticity, super ductility, super toughness, super rigidity, super energy conductivity, almost no metal fatigue, etc. This is definitely something that can make anyone who studies materials science pass out from a cerebral congestion on the spot. Even the properties of these materials are contrary to common sense. This is a special metal newly discovered by Dai after her awakening. It is extremely special, so special that even Dai can only produce less than 500 grams a day. Oh, by the way, I have to say that this metal is very light. Five hundred grams is actually enough for the size of a broadsword that Lily used in the past.

So when Quinn proposed the idea, he was chased by Dai for several days. Fortunately, after much persuasion, he finally agreed to help make the barrel, and then they started working madly. Vegapunk, who came later, also showed great enthusiasm and personally helped to make this thing that seemed to have no technical difficulty to him in the past. His only purpose was actually to get more contact with this metal.

Now, the power of these cannons built by the two top scientists and their team can only be experienced by the Celestial Dragons themselves.

In short, everything is proceeding in an orderly manner on the position of the Four Emperors, and even many secret weapons have been transported up as small gifts prepared for the strong men who may appear on the position. These small gifts are tested by Kaido himself. One thing can be confirmed through Kaido's mouth, that is, these small gifts may not kill him, but if you are not careful, you may really lose limbs if you are swarmed. This shows their power.

Of course, even so, it is not for these ordinary soldiers to use this thing to fight with the enemy's strong men. The most important purpose is to prevent the appearance of unknown strong men and to ensure the survival rate of the personnel on the position as much as possible. For this decisive battle, the Four Emperors have used up all the preparations they can. The fishmen who originally agreed not to take action and King Riku's national defense army have also been used. At this moment, they are gathering available forces everywhere.

"I never thought that this day would come. Time flies, doesn't it, Kaido?"

King Riku sat in his own seat and looked at Kaido across from him. As old friends for many years, he could see that Kaido was actually very nervous at the moment, but he just didn't show it. "Yeah, time flies, but old buddy, are you really letting those two kids go to the battlefield? This is no joke, if something goes wrong..."

Kaido put down the teacup in his hand. It was rare for him not to drink. This was why King Riku knew that this guy was nervous. Every time Kaido didn't drink, something really big was usually about to happen.

"Go ahead. There's nothing to worry about. If this doesn't work out, Dressrosa will certainly cease to exist. Instead of continuing to hesitate, it's better to go all out. Besides, isn't this what the two kids want? I'm sure Yamato thinks the same."

King Riku said with a smile after pouring himself a cup of tea.

"Yeah, the kids are all grown up now, and have made a name for themselves. I'm a little uncomfortable with this."

Kaido smiled and shook his head.

"Children have to grow up, but I don't know when I can hold my grandchildren. Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. When are you going to start the war?"

King Riku smiled and asked as he talked about the problem of his two daughters not getting married.

"In early spring of next year, that's what I'm thinking for now. Actually, it's not that long, just one and a half months. I don't know if we can keep it a secret in this month and a half. This is the best idea. After all, you know, the construction up there is in a hurry, and one and a half months is the shortest time. And the navy, their speed is not faster than ours, or even slower. Their situation is special, and they are not even on the same page in essence."

Kaido shook his head and said.

"One and a half months? Okay, I get it. I will complete the training and changing clothes within half a month. I will definitely not slow down the progress. When the time comes, I will leave my people here to you."

King Riku said after counting on his fingers.

"Oh, no problem. We didn't want to involve you in the beginning. We didn't expect that an old man like you would come to us on your own. What's wrong? Can't you hold it in?"

Kaido finally laughed out loud at this moment.

"Hahahahahaha, of course it is. This is a rare event that only comes once in many years. If I can't participate, I will die with my eyes wide open. And it's not just me. All the kings of the New World are ready. A total of 100,000 troops are on standby at any time, waiting for your wisdom. These are carefully selected elites. Don't worry, there is definitely no troublemaker or person who wants to fish in troubled waters."

King Riku stood up and said.

"Well, then we'll be disrespectful in rejecting it."

Kaido also stood up and shook hands with King Riku solemnly.
