Harano had money, and with his engineering background, he never cut corners—none of that sloppy work. If you calculated the cost of a single rocket at market price, it'd be over 160 kan, really packed full of gunpowder. Just in terms of firepower, it was no less powerful than a modern RPG, though due to limited tech, the rockets were even bigger than missiles and pretty inaccurate.
Now, the power of money was on full display. The "Dragon King"—this large wooden oar-and-sail ship—sank outright after just two rocket hits. A bunch of debris from the ship also blasted high into the sky, now raining down onto the sea and surrounding ships like a downpour. Some of the wreckage even dripped with oil and burned, accidentally starting a few small fires here and there.
