One Piece: Kingdom Building System

Chapter 46: Alabasta Kingdom

Grand Line, Water Seven Island, Number 1 Shipyard.

"Iceburg-san, I was asked by Fleet Admiral Sengoku to come here to check on the ship ordered by us" Gion said calmly after meeting with Iceburg and Kalifa who were currently in front of him, "If I may know, what happened? the reason for the sudden increase in the price of the ship?"

"Maaa... The price increase was due to the materials we used, Vice-Admiral Gion" Iceburg said calmly, "The wood that you build your ship with is wood from the Fortis Kingdom"

"The wood from the Fortis Kingdom?" Gion raised her brow.

"Our company has changed places to prepare wood supplies and the Kingdom of Fortis is the place. We get a pretty high price from them. This has also become an increase in our current selling price. Not only your ships but also the ships ordered by others have now increased in price due to the use of different base materials."

"I see" Gion nodded, "Can I check the finished ship and see the quality for myself?"

"Maa... Of course" Iceburg nodded and immediately walked into the number 1 shipyard and started to take Gion to the Navy ship which was currently completed.

"How many of our ships have been completed?" Gion suddenly asked.

"Maa... Kalifa, how many ships have been completed so far?"

"Currently 17 ships have been completed and only need to build 3 more," Kalifa answered quickly.

"WHAT?!" Suddenly there was a very loud scream from behind them.

The three of them immediately stopped walking and turned to look at Pauli who was looking at Gion with a blush on his face, "Women.... Why are you wearing clothes like that? That shirt... Those pants... Damn it! Hurry up and put on some more revealing clothes!"

Gion immediately frowned upon hearing this.

"Please don't anger Vice Admiral Gion. He is Pauli, one of the great Foreman our company has. He is indeed very strange when it comes to women" Kalifa answered calmly.

"You too Kalifa! How could you wear clothes like that when you're with Iceburg-san! Change your clothes even more covertly!" Pauli said with a red face.

"Maaa... Pauli, calm down" Iceburg said calmly, "This is Vice Admiral Gion. She came here to check on the finished ship."

"Vice Admiral?" Pauli was quite surprised to hear this.

"You can continue your work, Pauli, I will continue accompanying Vice Admiral Gion to see the finished ship" Iceburg said again and immediately turned to leave Pauli who was there.

"You freak" Gion muttered quietly then continued, "By the way, I heard some news that Hashirama Senju had come here. How's his attitude?"

"Maa... He came here before and he is also the one responsible for the transactions that happened" Iceburg said calmly, "Really, it's hard to believe that the person behind the various events that shook the world a while ago was him."

"Through your words, he almost looks like someone who isn't strong" Gion said.

"If you meet him in person. You won't be able to tell the difference between him and an ordinary person. Hashirama was also a jovial person and also in several places in this city where he had previously resided for a while. Hashirama was quite surprised among the people who were there because he liked to help others, especially for elderly mothers. Hashirama often brought their belongings to his house. You wouldn't be able to tell that Hashirama was a strong person if you saw him in person."

Gion was quite surprised by the assessment Iceburg made of Hashirama. It didn't take long for them to arrive at the ship ordered by the Navy.

The three of them immediately boarded there and through his Observation Haki, Gion could feel the change in the quality of the wood used on the ship.
