Chapter 186: Mosin-Nagant
Early the next morning, Joseph and the others carried out crate after crate of metal tubes.
People from Baroque Works gathered in droves, curiously staring at the metal tubes and parts, wondering what they were for.
Enel and Ace had processed these barrels and parts over the past few days whenever they had nothing else to do.
You never knew how terrifying the industrial processing capabilities of a Logia Devil Fruit user could be, especially monsters like Enel and Ace, who could directly smelt metal.
In fact, they had not brought much metal, but they had brought plenty of cannons.
So the ship's cannons suffered. Based on the parts Leo had drawn, they were all turned into these new gun barrels.
Once these guns were assembled, everyone would probably recognize them immediately: the famed Mosin-Nagant rifle.
There was no need to elaborate on this rifle's advantages: accuracy, power, a simple structure, easy production, few parts, reliability, and durability.
Of course, for them, it had another advantage—it was a bolt-action rifle, so it conserved ammunition extremely well.
Since they lacked the raw materials for Buster Call shells, their ammunition supply would certainly not be abundant. This rifle's five-round capacity was already enough to change the world. As for the AK-47? Sorry, the steel needed for one AK-47 could make three Mosin-Nagants, and the time needed to assemble one AK-47 could assemble two Mosin-Nagants.

Just as Leo did not mind Iska teaching volley fire to the Marines, because he possessed more advanced tactics, he also did not mind others possessing stronger firepower—because he still had more advanced technology and tactics.
Once they received the parts, the people of Baroque Works had
