"Hmm."
Gawain responded, stood up, and left with Kuro beside him. The two found a random place to sit outside the camp.
The refugees hugged each other and cried, and they seemed warm and soothing in the cheers of the people around them.
But Gawain, who was watching all this from a distance, didn't have a smile on his face, only an indescribable solemnity.
Seeing this, Kuro said: "Gawain, you should know, right?"
"Tonight's attack is not the end; it's just the beginning."
"With our appearance, those forces lurking in the dark will certainly not be able to sit still. What we need to face next may be continuous attacks, and more powerful enemies will appear."
"Fighting like this is not a solution."
Gawain was silent.
He just looked at the camp in the distance, where ordinary people gathered, ordinary people who couldn't survive in this world.
His Beast Form is big enough, and he can fly, plus the defense of the Battle Armor; ordinary attacks can't stop him at all.
For him, the most he can do is retreat directly.
But for these ordinary people, defeat means death.
At least before someone really threatens him, Gawain is unwilling to give up on them.
"What do you think?!"
Gawain turned his head to look at Kuro. He knew Kuro's character. Since he asked such a question, he must have thought of a way to deal with it.
Sure enough, Kuro smiled meaningfully and said: "Since they want the Pluton blueprint, why not give it to them."
"You mean to forge a fake one?!"
Gawain understood instantly and said in his heart: You are really shady.
A smile unconsciously tugged at his lips.
Now, with so many pirates attacking Water 7, aren't they after the Pluton blueprint?
But aside from Franky and Iceburg, who's seen it?!
No one, not a single person.
In other words, even if Gawain dug out a blueprint from the ruins of the shipyard and released the news that it was the Pluton blueprint, no pirate could prove that it was not.
They can only rob it; even the Marines and the World Government can only rob it.
Because they dare not bet that it is fake, they can only treat it as real so that the dilemma in Water 7 can be easily solved.
If the Marines were smart, they could even use the situation to annihilate all the pirates surrounding the Water 7.
Anyway, by then, even if the Marines still did not respond, the contradiction would shift from the contradiction between the Water 7 and the pirates to the contradiction within the pirates.
The pressure faced by everyone in Water 7 would be much smaller.
At worst, they could just hand out a copy to everyone and let them figure out the fake themselves.
With this step in mind, Gawain and Kuro exchanged a glance and shared a knowing smile: "Hehehe."
The subsequent plan was decided, and the two discussed many details later.
The best way to fake is to make it based on the real thing.
Half true and half false, even gods can't see the problem.
After all, blueprints are often just a tiny difference away from a huge mistake.
However… although Gawain knew who had the real Pluton blueprint, he wasn't entirely comfortable with taking advantage of the other party at this moment.
He wasn't a true pirate and would have never been one.
Furthermore, the other party had been fighting alongside Kuro, and the others, suffering heavy injuries for the past few days, had become a bit of a comrade, someone who had shared life-and-death moments with everyone.
Gawain can't turn against him at this time.
However, in Gawain's opinion, the shipwrights of Water 7 can definitely make a design that can be mistaken for the real thing.
Water 7 almost represents the pinnacle of shipbuilding technology in this world.
Whether it is the ship of the previous King of the Pirates or the Thousand Sunny of the Straw Hats, they were both made at the Water 7.
The gold content of this resume is simply off the charts.
The shipwrights of the Galley-La Company, including Lucci and Kaku, were all trained by Tom's eldest disciple Iceburg, and Franky was Tom's second disciple.
Gawain really doesn't believe that anyone can tell the authenticity of the blueprints drawn by these people together.
… … ...
Early the next morning, Gawain gathered together Franky, Paulie, and other top shipwrights in Water 7.
He roughly explained his plan and the current predicament of Water 7.
Everyone nodded without hesitation and accepted the task.
"Really..."
"Yesterday, I thought the battle was over, but I didn't expect it was just the beginning."
Paulie put out the cigarette butt in his mouth, and his face still has that unremarkable expression: "However, forging the blueprint of Pluton is indeed the best way to solve the current problem of Water 7."
"But if we want the best effect and deceive everyone's eyes 100%, we still have to modify it based on the real thing, which is easy and extremely useful."
Peepley Lulu shook his head: "If that kind of thing really existed, we would have handed it over as soon as possible."
"Who said it wasn't?!"
Franky's family chimed in, with Zambai casually responding.
One of his feet was even resting on the conference table.
Having fought side by side recently, everyone was familiar with each other's temperaments, so no one minded such small things.
Zambai then turned to Franky and asked: "Big bro, why aren't you talking today?!"
"You used to be so lively!"
"Shut up!"
Franky crossed his arms and looked a little unnatural. He kept scanning Gawain and others but still seemed a little hesitant.
The meeting quickly concluded, and the top shipwrights gathered in the office to discuss what kind of ship could live up to the name Pluton, one that could impress everyone when revealed.
As time passed, the sound of quarrels gradually became louder.
Gawain got up and left immediately after he saw this.
This kind of technical work is the field of the professionals. He is an outsider, and staying is like listening to the book of heaven.
He will not put on any leadership airs and give random orders. There is no meaning except affecting progress.
Gawain knew his mission clearly. He had to stop the pirates from invading before Pluton's blueprint was forged by the shipwright in Water 7.
… … ...
At the same time, at the rear of the Water 7.
Gin was leading the medical team to search and rescue the survivors on the battlefield.
There were bursts of wailing from time to time on the battlefield.
The battle last night had just passed, and several pirate ships appeared again in the distant sea.
But Gawain's deterrence last night was still there, and these pirates dared only to watch, and no one dared to open fire.
A doctor walked through the battlefield, treated the survivors with the most basic injuries, and then let someone carry them on a stretcher and send them to the rear.
If the injuries were too severe and there was no medicine to save them, they could only be cruel enough to end the pain of the injured.
There was no other way.
The remaining medical supplies in the Water 7 were already extremely scarce, and it was impossible to waste them on these dying people.
Even Gin, who was used to the war, could not help but fall silent at this moment.
The battle in the rear was far more brutal than the front battlefield led by Kuro.
Ochoku alone, without Gawain, was almost unstoppable, not to mention the elite troops under Ochoku and the tide of pirates.
Even a strong man like Gin was seriously injured, but he had the blessing of Gawain's badge ability and recovered much faster than others.
