Chapter 122 The Strong Cannot Be Insulted
After entering the East China Sea, everyone separated and went to the area they were responsible for searching.

With the power of the contract to maintain communication, there is no need to worry about not receiving messages in time.

The first one to bring the news was Zeta, after all, she was the fastest.

After searching for a day, Zeta was able to confirm that in the area he was responsible for, there was no trace of the Alrita Pirates, whether on the island or on the sea.

The next day, Claire sent a message saying that there was no trace of the Alrita Pirates in the area she was responsible for.

On the third day, Delta also sent a message, confirming that the Alrita Pirates were not in the area she was responsible for.

At about the same time, Beta sent a message saying that no trace of the Alrita Pirates was found.

It was not until the fourth day that Victoria sent a message saying that the whereabouts of the Alrita Pirates had been found and they were currently tracking them.

After receiving the message, Li De immediately teleported everyone over.

"Is that Alrita? She's so fat and ugly!" Ipsilon couldn't help but say after looking through the telescope at Alrita who was giving a speech on the deck in the auspicious clouds created by Claire in the sky.

"This proves how powerful the beauty-enhancing ability of the slippery fruit is!" Victoria said. After all, she had hesitated before whether to choose the slippery fruit.

If the Slippery Fruit had not been available a year ago, Victoria would most likely have chosen the Slippery Fruit.

It's a pity that it was not realistic to look for the slippery fruit in the vast East China Sea at that time, and Victoria certainly could not bear to waste a year. After all, she did not use substitution to integrate the physique of the humans in this world and thus alienate her magic power.

That's why she had to change to the multiplication fruit. Fortunately, the multiplication fruit met her expectations and was able to amplify subjective concepts.

But unfortunately, subjective concepts are different from objective substances, and the amplification is not permanent. Otherwise, the beauty effects of the Snake-Snake Fruit, the Real Fantasy Beast Species, the Medusa Form and the Slippery Fruit would be nothing compared to the Multiplication Fruit.

"Master, are we going to follow Alrita like this from now on?" Beta asked. After all, it was really boring to follow like this. Besides, they were in mid-air and there was no place to practice even if they wanted to. The most they could do was do some embarrassing things.

"No, let my sister and Zeta take turns to monitor next. Before getting the slippery fruit, Beta and Victoria can move freely. Delta and Ipsilon, who have changed their identities, can also move freely, but they must wear the eye masks used for banquets." Li De made arrangements slowly.

"Master, what about you?" Victoria looked at Li De and asked.

"I'm going to Water Seven City. To set up a pirate group, I need a ship, so I'm going to Water Seven City to customize a ship." Li De said slowly.

"Master, I want to go to the Seven Water City with you." Beta said immediately.

"Master, me too!" Victoria followed.

"BOSS, I want to go too!" Delta also said.

"Master, I want to go too!" Ipsilon was naturally unwilling to be left behind.

"No one should go. All of you stay in the East China Sea. If you don't want to move freely, you can stay here, or I can send you to Luskena." Li Decai didn't want the girls to go with him, especially Delta. Although Kalifa suddenly disappeared in the Seven Waters City, the undercover personnel of CP9 did not withdraw and are still secretly investigating Kalifa's disappearance.

"Then I'd better go to Fashion Island and buy some latest clothing styles. Maybe they can be used by the Chamber of Commerce." Beta said immediately.

"BOSS, I'm going to Luskena to hunt sea kings!" Delta expressed his thoughts.

"Master, I'll go to Luskena and Delta to take care of them too." Ipsilon followed.

"Master, Beta and I will go to Fashion Island to collect some items that the Chamber of Commerce can use." Victoria said.

"Then it's settled." Li De nodded.

As for Ipsilon and Delta not wanting to stay in the East China Sea, it was more because they cared about Li De's concerns.

Among them, Delta is especially outstanding. If he appears in the pirate world with an orc appearance, he will basically be regarded as a transformed animal-type devil fruit user, which will attract attention.

After teleporting the four girls away, Li Decai said to Claire and Zeta: "I'll be thanking you two for your hard work in the next period of time."

"Master, this is what I should do!" Zeta's answer was quite formal.

"Sid, I'm willing to do things for you. It's not hard, but remember to come back at night!" Compared to Zeta, Claire's answer was very provocative.

Compared with her initial shyness a year ago, she has now completed the transformation from a novice to an experienced driver.

During breaks and casual chats during practice, Claire would even discuss serving techniques with other women and share their own insights into various postures.

If Li De hadn't seen this change, he would never have believed it.

Of course, Claire's passion and unruly nature were only shown to Reed. As for outsiders, there was no possibility of that happening at all.

Let me put it this way, during the previous few trips out for sightseeing, Claire and others were approached more than once.

Beta's performance is more inclined to clever maneuvering and guiding. Basically, after a few words, people in the same group will start fighting, if they are from different groups, they will fight each other. Then Beta will stand aside and cheer them on until he is pulled away by Delta who can't stand it anymore.

Ipsilon, Delta and Zeta were more disdainful of the attempts to chat up, and if the other party wanted to get entangled with them, they would just use their domineering Haki to teach them a lesson.

Claire and Victoria's attitude towards other men is cold as ice, and they give off an aura of "keep away from strangers" even from a distance.

Forget about the alluring charm or anything like that, there's only biting coldness.

"I know!" Faced with Claire's clear statement, Li De was helpless.

Because he knew that compared to when she was occasionally in high spirits, Claire was already very restrained at this moment.

It’s all my fault, no, it’s all Vegapunk’s fault. Why create artificial mythical beasts for no reason?
After becoming a dragon and then having in-depth exchanges with Reed, Claire broke through the shackles in her heart almost every day, so much so that a week later, the other women were considered conservative compared to her.

"Go early and come back early, or..." Claire said to Reed with watery eyes.

However, Li De did not hear the rest of the words because he had already been teleported to the Seven Water City.

He arrived at the Franky Dismantling House slowly and before he even got close, Reed could feel the joyful atmosphere inside.

I went up and knocked on the door, and the noisy noise inside paused slightly.

Following the sound of footsteps, a woman with a square hairstyle and wearing a sexy red bikini opened the door.

"Who are you looking for?" After looking at Li De, Jiwei, one of the two Cube sisters, asked lightly.

And this tone was out of consideration for the handsome Reed. After all, the Franky family had a bad reputation in the Seven Water City, and Franky was currently known as a gangster leader.

"I have a commission I want to discuss with Frankie!" Reed said with a smile.

"Who are you? Brother Franky doesn't have anything to talk to you about, so get out of here!" Baizan's head suddenly popped out from behind Jiwei and said.

hum!
The next second, with the spread of the domineering color, Jiwei and Baizan in front of Li De, as well as the other minions in the disintegration object, all fell down with foam at the mouth. "Little guys, what happened to you?" After seeing all the little brothers around him fall down, Franky immediately shouted.

"Do you have time to talk to me now, Franky, oh, no, it should be Carter Fram?" Reed asked Franky.

"Who are you? What happened to them?" Franky said with a gloomy face.

"They are just temporarily unconscious and will be fine after a while. After all, I still need you, so I won't do anything excessive to your men." Li De said lightly.

"That is to say, if I don't agree to work for you, you will do something to them, right?" Franky's face became even gloomier.

"Mr. Franky, your appearance can't help but make people misunderstand your wisdom. That's exactly what I mean. So do you want to talk or fight? If you want to talk, you should invite me into the house now. If you want to fight, I can turn this place into dust in an instant. Although it means to threaten, I still think it is necessary to tell you clearly that the difference in strength between us is like the size difference between a small fish and a Calm Sea King."

After hearing what Reed said, Franky stared at Reed, his slightly trembling hands finally not raised.

"Please come in. Just tell me what you want to talk about!" Franky said to Reed after moving away Kiwi and Baizan who were lying on the ground blocking the door.

After entering the house, Li De looked around and said, "Don't be so gloomy. In fact, if your little brothers didn't know how to respect the strong, I wouldn't teach them a lesson. This time I came to you to customize a ship model."

"Model?!" Franky couldn't help but frown after hearing that.

"Don't think too much. I'm not interested in Pluto's design drawings." Li De said immediately.

"You" Franky subconsciously covered his stomach when he heard this. After all, this was his biggest secret.

"I've already told you that I'm no longer interested in Pluto's design drawings, so even if you take them out, I don't have time to look at them," Li De continued.

"Who wants to take it out and show it to you?" Franky shouted immediately.

"Okay, let's get back to the topic. I want you to help me design a ship model. The specific requirements are as follows." Li De stated all his needs in one go.

"Three questions. Why does a model have to be so detailed? Second, if you want the model to meet your requirements, it must at least have the branches of the Adam tree. Third, my fee is not cheap. Are you going to pay?" Franky said after thinking for a while.

"Why do I have to be so meticulous? Of course it's because of my personal interest. As for the second question, I have prepared the branches of the treasure tree Adam in advance. I have also prepared a special metal for you. It is light and extremely hard. All metal parts needed in the model must be made of this metal." After saying that, Li De took out a branch of the gem Adam and a large piece of mithril.

"Are you a devil fruit user?" Franky was a little surprised when he saw Reed take something out of thin air.

"I won't answer this question. Now let me tell you about your last question. How much do you want?" Li De asked.

"I want 100 million Baileys, will you give it to me?" Franky couldn't help but say.

Bang!Bang!
The next second, two boxes filled with banknotes fell to the ground out of thin air. The force of the fall caused the unlocked box lids to bounce open, and stacks of Baileys appeared in Franky's sight.

"Mr. Franky, our deal is now concluded. I have no intention of bargaining with you. This is my respect for your skills. At the same time, I hope you can respond to my respect. After the model is built, I will let a third party inspect it.

I hope I won't hear any flawed comments. After all, I came to you mainly because you are Mr. Tom's apprentice. It's a pity that the world's strongest shipbuilding master died because of some villains. It's really a pity. But I believe you should inherit his skills, don't let Mr. Tom be ashamed. "After Li De finished speaking, he was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Franky.

"Since you know that I'm Mr. Tom's disciple, then you should know that Bingshan is also one. Why don't you look for him but come to me?" Franky wanted to make this clear.

"There are two reasons. One is that he is busy. Although I can pay to buy out his time for a period of time, it is difficult for me to solve the other reason, which is that there are spies from the CP organization lurking around him. Being targeted by the world government's intelligence organization for a model is not in my interest." Li De gave an explanation after hearing this.

Upon hearing this, Franky from the "CP Organization" seemed to recall some bad memories, and his face suddenly became gloomy.

"So how long will it take you to complete my model?" Reed asked Franky.

"I need to spend some time studying the metal you gave me. I can only start after I have mastered its properties. You have a lot of requirements, and it takes a lot of time to deal with the details, so it will take at least half a month." Franky replied after thinking for a while.

"Very good, I will come to see you in half a month. I hope you won't let me down!" After saying that, Li De walked outside.

After a while, Li De returned to a certain sea area in the East China Sea, and then lay leisurely in the auspicious clouds created by Claire, hugging Zeta with his left hand and Claire with his right hand.

"Sid, you came back so quickly!" Claire said a little surprised.

"How long will it take to find someone to customize a model ship?" Li De replied with a smile.

"Model ship, is the master planning to use Victoria's ability to multiply it?" Zeta reacted immediately.

"Ah, if it's just an ordinary wooden sailboat, there's no need to use its capabilities. After all, we don't lack the construction costs. But this ship is different. I have very high requirements for it. It needs to be manufactured according to actual conditions. I'm not worried about the materials, but I'm afraid it will take a lot of time." Li De nodded and said.

"Sid, this ship is going to be brought back to our world, right?" Claire asked.

"Well, actually I had the idea of ​​building a spaceship before, but unfortunately we don't understand the shipbuilding technology, and we don't have the ability of the multiplication fruit. We couldn't afford the consumption of mithril before, so it has been delayed until now." Li De nodded.

In fact, Li De did have the idea of ​​building a spaceship a long time ago. After all, he happened to have a finished spaceship core from the Eight Men's World, and there was more than one.

It’s a pity that Reed and the girls in Shadow Courtyard are complete laymen in the field of shipbuilding. Besides, Reed wants a magic flying ship that looks cool enough.

The demand for mithril is huge, and before obtaining Iruber's wealth, Reed was unable to pay.

After all, we can't drain the working capital of the Siyue Chamber of Commerce just for a ship, so the vehicle has been delayed until now.

After enriching the devil fruit abilities of the girls under his command, Li De added new requirements.

For example, electric acceleration systems, fire acceleration systems, etc., so we need a professional in this field to build them.

The best construction host is actually Vegapunk, but he is always under the surveillance of the World Government, so Reed can only settle for the second best.

For Franky, who has done enough research on Pluto's design drawings, the energy propulsion system is indeed not a difficult task for him. After all, he can even make a jet that uses Coke as energy, so a more direct energy source would be even easier for him.

"What kind of ship will it be? I can't help but look forward to it now." Claire said curiously at this moment.

"I'm curious too." Zeta nodded.

"Not to mention other things, but at least there will be no shortage of rooms with king-size beds." Li De said after touching the two women.

"Hate it, Sid!" Claire said this, but her body squeezed over honestly.

Twenty days later, Li Dedu retrieved Franky's meticulously crafted ship model from the Seven Water Metropolis, but there was still no result on the part of the Alrita Pirates.

Claire, who was lying on the edge of the auspicious cloud, was looking at the Alrita Pirates far below with a little impatience.

"Sid, how long do we have to wait? This is so boring."

"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be today." Reed said to Claire.
