One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 417 New Ship Launched
"Brother Kaido! Look! This is the new Beast King-class battleship made with the latest technology - the Blue Dragon!"

Quinn stood on the dock and pressed the switch in his hand. Suddenly, the red cloth surrounding the dock was lifted, and a huge steel monster appeared in front of everyone. The metal was shining in the sun. It was a real monster that could make naval warships call themselves small boats in front of it!
“So handsome!!!!!”

Suddenly, Quinn got the sound he wanted most. Except for a few people who knew the appearance of the Blue Dragon from the beginning, everyone on the dock opened their mouths wide, with golden light in their eyes. Even Kaido was no exception. In other words, Kaido's expression was the most exaggerated one, and his jaw almost hit the ground!
"Quick! Quinn! Show me this ship! He's so handsome!"

Kaido flashed in front of Quinn and spoke to him excitedly. You might have thought he was going to kiss Quinn.

"No problem. Please follow me and get on board from here. Don't jump on board directly! This is the first day this ship is launched. Please treat this ship correctly!"

Quinn said this, walking towards the ladder with his head held high. He believed that as long as he said this, Kaido would never let anyone jump onto this ship that had cost him so much effort.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak."

Zhizhi, who had not appeared for a long time, was now standing on Lily's shoulder, looking at Quinn with helplessness on his face, and began to mutter in dissatisfaction.

"Okay, stop looking at that guy showing off. If you don't want to see him, go play with Yamato and the others."

Lily looked at Zhizhi's dissatisfied look and couldn't help but reached out to tease the little guy. What no one expected was that Zhizhi actually had a habit similar to hibernation. However, unlike hibernation, this little guy did not sleep every year. His sleeping time was extremely irregular. It was unknown when he entered a hibernation state. This time he just woke up from hibernation, and just in time for Quinn's new technology ship to be completed and launched.

For some reason, Zhizhi, who didn't get along with Quinn, was furious when he saw Quinn's smug look. But with Zhizhi's intelligence, he naturally knew that this was not the time for him to embarrass Quinn, so he could only watch Quinn continue to show off.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak."

Zhizhi looked at Yamato who was following Kaido to visit the Blue Dragon, and began to denounce this guy for being disloyal. She had just woken up today, but he didn't come to see her. When she was a child, she played with her, but now it seemed that he almost forgot about her.

"I can't help it. You slept for a long time this time. It's almost New Year's Day. You have been sleeping since the beginning of this year, almost for a whole year. You know Yamato is a playful kid. She will come to see you after she finishes her tour. Don't worry."

Lily scratched Zhizhi's chin helplessly and comforted the little guy. Fortunately, Lily had known about it and visited the Qinglong. In other words, the construction of the Qinglong was inseparable from Lily's approval, so she was not as anxious as others to go up and visit, but chose to stay here with Zhizhi. Otherwise, if even Lily ran up to see the ship, Zhizhi would probably collapse completely. Although he was also very curious about this big ship, he just didn't want to see Quinn's extremely proud face.

“Hahahahahaha, this little guy is still so interesting.”

At this time, old Thorin, who was not even as tall as Lily's calf, walked over, looked at Zhizhi on Lily's shoulder and laughed.

"Thank you for your hard work during this period, old Thorin."

Lily said to Thorin.

"It's okay. I'm also very excited about the construction of this huge steel ship. This is the first time I've done this kind of work. It's a magical experience. Hahahaha." Old Thorin smiled indifferently. Many of the precision components on the Qinglong were made by old Thorin and his men. It must be said that old Thorin's skills are indeed high. Many precision components that are difficult to process even with machine tools can be made exactly by old Thorin just by feeling. This kind of magical technology even makes the Intelligent Control Core 10001 shout that it is unscientific, but there is no way. This is the top craftsman in the world of pirates, the strength of the top blacksmith who personally created the Twelve Works of the Supreme Industry. A true craftsman of a great country!
"But no matter what, you have worked hard over the past few months. Now you can rest assured. You have proved that handmade products are sometimes not worse than machine-made products."

Lily knew that old Thorin had been holding his breath since the arrival of the Mechanical City. Those weapons that came off the assembly line of the Mechanical City with almost no difference made many people think that the era of hand-made weapons was over. However, as a craftsman over a hundred years old, old Thorin would never recognize the standard weapons produced on the assembly line. Although he admitted that the production of such weapons was indeed faster, this was definitely not the way to create real fine weapons. Real fine weapons were definitely hand-made. Only in this way could the weapon have a soul.

“Hahahahahaha, I can still remember their expressions and voices when I gave that special component to Quinn, as well as that large machine head. I never thought that a robot could make such a realistic voice. Hahahahahaha! How dare they look down on me.”

Sure enough, old Thorin was also feeling very happy at this moment. He had not said it before just to amaze everyone. In fact, he was not opposed to the industrialized production method. After all, the pursuit of efficiency is human nature, and the weapons produced on the assembly line are indeed good. There is really no problem for ordinary people to use them. But what he was angry about were actually his students. Except for his good apprentice Caroline, the other little bastards actually lost confidence because of this. It really disappointed him as a teacher. They were not very skilled, but they were still worrying about this and that every day. Alas.

"We dare not laugh at you, old sir. Your skills have surpassed my calculations. Even in my database, I have never found such a powerful forging technology."

At this time, a strange man who was wrapped tightly came over from the other side, and his voice was a very magnetic bass. Yes, this strange man was the external carrier of the intelligent control core 10001. Because he did not want to expose his mechanical body too much, the clothes on the intelligent control core 10001 were very tightly worn.

"You kid, oh no, if we really count the age, you seem to be older than me, with your mechanical brain, there are many things in this world that cannot be understood by calculation, such as the devil fruit, can you figure out how this thing came into being? Why does it have so many abilities? Although my forging skills are certainly not as magical as the devil fruit, this is after all a technology that has been passed down by the dwarfs for hundreds and thousands of years, and I will not lose so easily."

Old Thorin said as he looked at the central control core 10001.

"Actually, I can answer one question about this. According to the data left by 21 scholars in my database and the research of Mr. Quinn and I, the birth of devil fruits is very likely related to so-called faith. Although I cannot accept this unscientific speculation, it is indeed the possibility that is closest to the truth for the time being."

After all, the Intelligent Control Core 10001 is still a robot. When faced with old Thorin's words, it chose to give a formal answer without even thinking that old Thorin was just giving a metaphor.

"You, oh, forget it, why should I bother with you, come on, you mechanical brain, take me to see this big ship. Although I have built a lot of parts, there are still many things inside that I don't understand. It just so happens that I don't like to be crowded with so many people, so take me to see it." Old Thorin sighed helplessly and chose to change the subject.

"No problem. Please follow me. There is also an entrance on the other side. It is an inspection hatch. I can open it remotely from the inside. We can enter from there so that it won't be crowded."

Intelligent Control Core 10001 naturally would not refuse, and said with a gesture of invitation.

"I won't go. You guys go. I saw it yesterday."

Lily smiled and waved her hand, indicating that there was no need to trouble her.

"Okay, Ms. Lily, please look forward to it. The design drawings of the second ship, Suzaku, have been completed. It is a ship of a different style." Intelligent Control Core 10001 said to Lily before leaving.
