"Pay in full!"
Roger waved his hand grandly, full of heroic spirit.
The next second.
the explorer was once again enveloped in dazzling light.
This time, it was the silver light representing industry and steel!
Amidst a violent roar, the ship's hull transformed at a visible speed!
Outside the original wooden hull, layers of heavy steel plates, glinting with metallic coldness, appeared out of thin air, seamlessly covering the entire ship.
The three-story ballista tower in the center of the ship twisted and deformed in the silver light, finally transforming into four ferocious metal turrets with six barrels each!
The gaping muzzles exuded an aura of death.
Some of the gunports on both sides of the hull were also replaced with larger breech-loading cannons.
And the most exaggerated part was at the stern.
A huge propeller appeared out of nowhere!
Inside the hull, a low rumble like the heartbeat of a giant beast could be heard.
"My... my God..."
Hector stroked the cold, hard steel railing beside him, completely dumbfounded.
"Alright, the main part is done."
Roger clapped his hands in satisfaction.
"System, what about the copper coins? Show me the upgrade plans for those two gluttons."
Coming, Boss! The 'Norwegian Sea Monster Rearing Plan' is online!
Plan One: 'Leviathan's Body'! Comprehensively strengthen the Norwegian Sea Monster's physical strength and recovery ability; even if it's cut into sashimi, it can grow back in one minute! Enhancement cost per monster: 500,000 copper coins!

Roger looked at the copper coin prices, which were often hundreds of thousands, without feeling any heartache.
"I want them all!"
"Turn these two pets into deep-sea Gundams for me!"
Alright! We are now performing the 'Pay-to-Win Godhood' service for your pets!
Two golden light beams, even thicker than before, descended from the sky, precisely enveloping the two Great Octopuses that were still in a daze.
"Owooo--"
The two Norwegian Sea Monsters let out strange cries that were both painful and blissful.
Their bodies swelled wildly in the golden light, and metallic scales appeared on their skin.
Their tentacles became more, longer, and thicker!
Sharp barbs even grew on their tips!
When the light dissipated.
Two super Norwegian Sea Monsters, whose size had increased by a full circle and looked ten times more ferocious than before, respectfully lowered their heads before Roger.
On the deck, there was dead silence.
Jack Sparrow rolled his eyes and happily fainted again.
He felt it was safer in his dreams.
Roger stood on the brand-new steel deck, with four ferocious Gatling turrets behind him and two deep-sea behemoths comparable to Godzilla in front of him.
He felt that his life had reached its peak.
No, it's not enough.
His gaze slowly turned to the distance, and he remembered the person who had stood him up for a month.
"Sam."
Roger licked his somewhat dry lips.
He turned around, looking at the pirates on the deck who had completely become fanatical believers.
"Attention, everyone!"
"Set sail! Weigh anchor!"
"No!" Roger shook his head, correcting himself.
"Hector! Start the steam engine for me! Full throttle!"
"Destination, Hirado Port!"
Roger's command sword pointed forward.
"I'm going to tell them what the hell... the Industrial Revolution is!"
Hector's face fell.
"Captain, I don't know how to use this thing!"
