NOVEL WEB Chapter 80: The Mafia Machine Gun
"It's not about joining in the fun, but about stopping the war and gaining fame! I heard that the North Blue and West Blue look down on the East Blue the most. In the future, I hope all seas will show the East Blue some respect." Kael chuckled softly, but Bege felt a chill. He felt that Kael's goals were definitely not limited to these. It seemed the ranking of the Four Seas was about to undergo a complete transformation.
"Your Majesty, are you truly confident in stopping the war between Kano Country and Wano Country?" Bege was still a little unconvinced; the Goa Empire had only brought 3 warships this time, and now half of their Clone Soldiers had to be left on Nostra Island. And there was even a Marine warship among them. He knew that the Marines weren't allowed to interfere in wars between allied nations. That meant their numbers were even smaller. Kael couldn't possibly rely solely on himself and this Baron Aramaki to stop the war between the West Blue Twin Heroes, could he?
"Otherwise? Do you think I'm that kind of arrogant fool? Traveling thousands of miles just to make a fool of myself?" Kael picked up the gang's new machine gun and examined it. No wonder Bege could make a name for himself in the West Blue. These new machine guns were hundreds of times stronger than the Marines' flintlocks and muskets. It seemed there were talents in the Mafia Gang who could manufacture and improve firearms.
"Who made this gun? Or did you buy it from someone else?" Kael raised an eyebrow; he remembered that even Doflamingo's Underground Dark Emperors' weapon list didn't have this kind of automatic machine gun. The weapons of these gangs were a level higher than the Marines' conventional weapons.
"This, this is a machine gun improved by Vito and a subordinate; it's a unique weapon of our gang." Bege hesitated for a moment but still revealed his secret.
"Very good, the Goa Empire will use this machine gun in the future!" Kael saw a way to strengthen the Goa Empire and immediately felt pleased. Even the firearms of the Germa Kingdom were significantly inferior in performance to these machine guns. It seemed there were indeed capable people among the common folk. Professional scientists also had their limitations, sometimes they couldn't even compare to a flash of inspiration from frontline users. Perhaps the gang's automatic machine gun was born from a gunman's sudden inspiration.
Although these guns and cannons didn't cause fatal damage to high-level powerhouses, they still had great lethality against mid-to-low-level powerhouses. Even for a powerhouse like Whitebeard, the number of gunshot wounds and shellings on his body were clearly recorded. If one couldn't maintain Haki with stamina, even top experts, most of whom were mortal flesh and blood, would be exhausted by gunfire. The Marines' Buster Call was essentially a firepower saturation. Even a monster like Devil Descendant Bullet, whose stamina and Armament Haki were absurdly exaggerated, couldn't withstand the continuous bombardment of a Buster Call.
"If Germa Kingdom soldiers are equipped with this machine gun, their combat power will increase by a small level," Reiju also tried Bege's new machine gun; the firing speed was indeed very fast. The key was that it was lighter than the large Gatling guns on the market, making it suitable for most soldiers.
Under Kael's keen observation, he took a group of firearm talents from the gang, specifically to produce automatic machine guns and bullets for him. Later, they would also return to the Goa Empire to teach this firearm technology and promote this machine gun. Perhaps the Goa Empire could also become a major arms producer, becoming one of the suppliers for Doflamingo, the Underground Dark Emperors. It must be said that the current conventional weapons and warships of the Marines and the World Government were a bit outdated. The West Blue Mafia already had machine guns, while the Marines were still using muskets. Marine defector Gasparde was already using steam ironclads, while the Marines were still using wooden sailing ships.
Accustomed to standing at the peak, the World Government and Marineford had many conventional weapons and warships that were already outdated. But they hadn't taken the initiative to learn and improve. Or rather, the procurement and research and development within the World Government and Marineford had become completely solidified, with layers of intertwined interest groups, making it difficult for new weapons to be updated and popularized. It's possible that the suppliers providing weapons to the World Government and Marineford were the World Government's own high-ranking officials. After all, Spandine's useless son, Spandam, could become the head of CP9. So, how many such things must exist within the World Government and Marineford?
After half a day, Kael arranged the tasks for the Clone Soldiers, Vito, and Gotti. He returned to the Exile Emperor with Bege and some firearm talents. Bege, as the Goa Empire's transport captain, still had the authority to command Vito and Gotti, and could remotely control them to unify the West Blue underworld.
"Finally, we can set off!" Aramaki stood at the bow, his eyes filled with a longing for fame and promotion. Sanji and the others had also returned from their procurement, with significant gains. Soon, these 3 warships left Nostra Island and headed directly towards the battlefield between Kano Country and Wano Country.
On the deck of the Exile Emperor, Baby 5 said, "Your Majesty, I can transform into a machine gun!" After understanding the structure of the Mafia machine gun, Baby 5 was able to develop her own new weapon shape in just a few hours. Baby 5's right hand transformed into a Mafia machine gun, continuously firing into the sea. This was infinitely faster than the muskets she had transformed into before. The bullets she fired consumed her stamina and didn't require reloading, allowing for even more intense firepower saturation. When she used muskets before, even if she had stamina, she still had to follow the musket's firing mechanism, one shot at a time. It was nothing like now, where as long as her stamina was inexhaustible, the bullets would keep coming.
"Princess Baby's ability is also amazing," Kaya said. It was another day of Kaya's admiration; she also saw that Baby 5 could even transform into a cannonball and fly in the sky. These Devil Fruit abilities were indeed miraculous.
'Dressrosa's princess? The foster daughter of Shichibukai Doflamingo?' Bege secretly observed the various powerhouses on Kael's ship. He was very familiar with Vinsmoke Reiju, the princess of North Blue's Germa Kingdom, as Morgans had serialized a comic strip about this evil family's background in the World Economy News. She was a modified super soldier, whose strength was even greater than his own. Kael's two consorts both seemed to be quite strong. Besides Aramaki, who had defeated him, Bege noticed that the blind man seemed very strong. Was this the bodyguard Kael redeemed from Soja Island? Even Kael and Aramaki were very polite to this blind man.
Damn it. Such a powerhouse was hidden within his own sphere of influence, and he had no idea. If he had known, he would have recruited this powerhouse long ago. That Casino Boss on Soja Island was the real blind man.
Zoro and Saga, these two swordsmen, felt mediocre and not particularly outstanding. It was Eric, who could freely generate Wind Blade slashes, that Bege felt was quite strong. As for the sniper Van Augur, who was keeping watch at the top of the mast, Bege had already ignored him.
'They are all Barons, it seems I also need to get a noble title, otherwise I won't gain Kael's trust and won't be able to integrate into their circle.' Bege quickly understood his position and prepared to work hard to gain Kael's trust, rise in rank and wealth step by step, and finally find a way to break free from Kael's control. As for assassinating Kael and taking his place, it would be as difficult as ascending to heaven. After all, Kael's Exile ability was too unresolvable.
