New Ship Design!
Even after two weeks, Lafitte still clearly remembered that Maud had made many excessive demands at the time.
In his view, given the current level of shipbuilding, it would be difficult to satisfy those demands.
Now that he had seen the design, as expected, most of those demands had proven to be nothing more than empty talk.
However...
"Steam engine."
Lafitte exclaimed in surprise, narrowing his eyes as he stared at the clearly detailed steam engine beside the ship's design.
He had only two requirements for the new ship.
First, it had to be sturdy. Second, it had to be highly maneuverable.
He had never expected Thomas Shipyard to actually develop a steam engine.
Compared to Lafitte's delight, Maud was somewhat disappointed.
Even though Edward was a highly experienced shipwright, he could fulfill only a small portion of Maud's demands.
A shipwright like Franky was ultimately an exception.
Maud had actually considered looking for Franky, but he was not Luffy.

If he rashly went looking for Pluton, he might not even know how he died.
Although he was somewhat disappointed, the design Edward had provided was not bad.

"Heh heh, I have no objections."
Anticipation showed in Lafitte's eyes.
"Then it's settled."
Maud turned to Cains,
