Steamboat Willie

The Steamboat Willie is the current ship of the Tendokyo Thirteen. Upon seeing the new ship, their allies the Cowabunga Pirates and the House Pirates ordered new ships for them.

It is made of a new type of metal called Schwarzstahl (黒 鋼  { シュヴァルスタール}), which is developed by Rougemont Descartes's father Jacques 23 years ago. The bottom of its hull is made of a mix of Schwarzstahl and Kairoseki.

Appearance
The Steamboat Willie is a large steamship, at 60 meters (196'10"). It has four large paddlewheels arranged into two pairs on the sides of the ship. It has five large smoke stacks which emits clean rainclouds.

The engines can be powered by any alcoholic beverage, except wine of any type. It can also be powered by Johannah's Shuso Shuso no Mi powers or Jonathan's Pika Pika no Mi powers.

Background
Forty years ago, a 22 year-old scientist named Jacques Descartes is working on a proposal on an ocean-gong steamship initially for civilian use. His fellow scientist Doctor Vegapunk borrowed some of his ideas to use on the Buster Call modernization program. Seventeen years later, Jacques Descartes successfully created Schwarzstahl as a result of several experiments to create the "perfect steel". It became a popular trade item in the Underworld. Its strength, durability and malleability makes the price of Adam Wood to lessen to around 150,000,000 bellies. The price of 50 tons of Schwarzstahl is pegged at around 200,000,000 bellies.

Back to the present-day storyline, Jacques' son Rougemont (alias of Pascal) and the former Cowabunga Pirates captain Kwaito III, both Tendokyo Thirteen members, talked to each other to research on Schwarzstahl before their hiatus. This private meetings created a plan called "Project Willie"(事業 ウイリ, Jigyo Uiri).

After the hiatus, the Carrack Vikings stole their ship the Unlucky. Later, it was said that the group sailed to a storm and they are shipwrecked, and all members were presumed to be dead. Both Kwaito and Rougemont applied their knowledge to be placed on their masterpiece. Kwaito and Rougemont went to a branch of the Galley-La Company near the Red Line. Some fifty workers started building on the ship. consisting of members from the Tendokyo Thirteen, Cowabunga Pirates and Galley-La workers created the ship. It was finished after 21 days and 20 nights, which include two more ships, to be owned by the Thirteen's allies the Cowabunga Pirates and the House Pirates.
