"Baby5! Come look at this blueprint!" Minos handed the Bat Fighter blueprint to Baby5.
In the world of pirates, it seemed no one paid attention to the sky. Despite so much black technology, the only ones who had truly developed airplanes or even spaceships were Enel, a half-baked scientist from Sky Island.
Theoretically, flying through the sky or even from outer orbit should be the fastest method, but the people of the Pirate World completely ignored it.
Having already witnessed the importance of air supremacy, Minos was not like these guys in the Pirate World.
Upon hearing Minos's words, Baby5, who was frowning and complaining about her weight, ran over without a word: "Master Minos, what did you discover now?"
During this time, Minos had used Dr. Vegapunk's weapon blueprints to exchange for many blueprints from other worlds. For example, the Melt Gun from Warhammer, which had incredibly high destructive power, capable of forming an energy beam tens of thousands of degrees Celsius (Ace cried in the toilet), truly capable of killing gods and buddhas.
Even Katakuri's expression became extremely serious after seeing the destructive power of the Melt Gun, and he personally admitted that he absolutely could not withstand a single shot. Even Charlotte Linlin would definitely be injured if she took a shot without using Haki.
Of course, with Baby5's strength, even with the Melt Gun, it would be useless. She could only fire one attack by exhausting all her Stamina, and the preparation time before the attack would take at least a minute.
Anyone with a little Observation Haki would not be hit by this move.
Even so, with Baby5's meager strength, she could unleash an attack that threatened a Pirate Emperor. This was much more impressive than the King's Fist, which boasted of being able to defeat even a Yonko after an hour of warm-up. It also truly showed the power of the Arms-Arms Fruit.
"This is for you. Can you transform into it?" Minos handed the Bat Fighter blueprint to Baby5. After looking at it for a moment, Baby5 showed surprise.
"So cool! It can fly in the sky. What kind of weapon is this?"
"This thing is called a Bat Fighter! Try to see if you can transform into it," Minos said.
"I should be able to. I can feel from my Devil Fruit ability that I can indeed transform into this Bat Fighter, but I'll need to study this blueprint for a while." Baby5 replied. "I haven't finished studying the Laser Sword from last time yet! Master Minos, where did you get these weapon blueprints? Even Dr. Vegapunk's research probably can't compare!"
"It's good if you can transform successfully." Minos did not answer Baby5's question but directly changed the subject. "When the time comes, with the speed of the Bat Fighter, going anywhere will be effortless! Baby5, I'm counting on you, keep up the good work."
Hearing this, Baby5 immediately smiled, casting aside the origin of these blueprints.
The Bat Fighter could fly out of the atmosphere in a short period, its speed faster than the Blackbird Reconnaissance Aircraft, and it even possessed the ability to fly in space for a short time. It could be said to be the fastest vehicle in the entire Pirate World. With its speed of several times the speed of sound, it was not impossible to circle the entire Grand Line in just a few days. To the pirates, this was undoubtedly close to a Divine Miracle.
One could only say that the technology in the Pirate World was not only incredibly advanced but also ridiculously skewed. They could create Humanoid Robots and Genetically Modified Humans, yet they hadn't even invented a Hot Air Balloon Airship.
"Perhaps it's also due to the World Government's suppression? After all, if planes were flying all over the sky in this world, the Red Line wouldn't guarantee any safety."
Just as Baby5 was engrossed in the brand new Bat Fighter, and Minos had almost finished cultivating his Rokushiki, the Charlotte Pirates' annual Tea Party began again.
During the last Tea Party, Minos had basically been cultivating on Wheat Island. Katakuri was a rather strict teacher, forbidding them from leaving the island until their foundation was solid, so neither he nor Talon had participated.
This time, Talon and Minos could be considered to have graduated. Especially Minos, who had practically saved the lives of Katakuri's three brothers on Punk Hazard. Otherwise, in that situation, facing a large number of elite Marines and a Marine Admiral, the three brothers would have likely ended up touring Impel Down.
Therefore, Katakuri decided to bring Minos and Talon to Cake Island together, as a sign that they had officially graduated and could join the crew.
Minos didn't object to this. Although he planned to leave the Charlotte Pirates temporarily, and depending on the situation, change "temporarily" to "permanently," it was only for his future development and because he disliked the Charlotte Pirates' style. However, this did not mean that the past favors the Charlotte Pirates had given him were nullified.
No matter how much Minos grumbled internally about Charlotte Linlin, that crazy woman, he would not forget the favor of being saved from a slave ship. He also couldn't ignore the training from the entire Charlotte Pirates and Katakuri's teachings and just leave.
Besides Talon and Minos, Baby5 and Violet were also among those who came to pay their respects. Although both of them had ordinary strength, just being Devil Fruit Users was enough qualification to join any pirate crew.
When reading the manga, it felt like Devil Fruit Users were endless, but that was due to the siphon and aggregation effect among the strong. In reality, across the entire sea, Devil Fruit Users were pitifully few. It could be said that any Devil Fruit User was a potential seed among the Marines and pirates. Even the Yonko Crews would absolutely not ignore them.
Otherwise, Kaido wouldn't have created the so-called User Army. Even those Scraps and Rags were considered a trump card by Kaido, let alone true Devil Fruit Users.
Violet was quite anxious and ran to Minos to ask if Captain Charlotte would assign her a husband.
However, Minos just rolled her eyes and explained, "Don't overthink it! Under normal circumstances, if you were still the princess of Dressrosa, it might be possible. But you're down on your luck now, just a Devil Fruit User. Captain Charlotte wouldn't waste one of his sons on you!"
Violet: "..."
Although she felt offended, she was also relieved.
Minos wasn't wrong about this. Generally, if someone joined the Charlotte Pirates alone without any backing, unless their strength was exceptionally high, they shouldn't expect Charlotte Linlin to marry off her daughters or take them as daughters-in-law.
