The City of Seven Waters, the Warehouse Under the Bridge - Carter French's Secret Base:

I saw Carter French and the Cube Sisters celebrating happily for a while, and then showing a deeply sad look. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Usopp looked at them speechlessly and asked, "Are these guys idiots?"

"Who knows!" William didn't know any answer to Usopp's question. You can't say that Carter French is a pervert, right? But Carter French does call himself a pervert, and the happiest thing is to be recognized as a pervert.

Although William didn't know Carter French before, William's strange body shape was still instantly recognizable by William. This pervert is a disciple of the legendary shipwright Tom, but he has shipbuilding skills that are not weaker than that of his senior brother Mr. Iceberg.

Moreover, Carter Frankie's body was remodeled from discarded materials when he was dying.

"Do you want to take this ship to the East China Sea? This is impossible!" Knowing that William and the others were going to return to the East China Sea on the Golden Merry, Carter French thought that it was his own ear problem!

The current Golden Merry is in tatters, with irreparable damage from the keel, severe cracks in the floor and splints, and a broken mainmast several times (once when Luffy was in the Twin Gorges). In Carter French's eyes, it was a miracle that such a dilapidated ship could hold out until it sailed to the capital of the seven waters.

"How do you know if you haven't tried!" In the face of Carter French's questioning, William ignored his meaning, but said to Usopp beside him: "Usopp, let's do it!"

As early as the time when the Golden Merry was transferred here, William had already explained his thoughts to Usopp. Although Usopp was opposed at first, he finally agreed with William's approach of overhauling the Golden Merry.

Although Usopp was reluctant to accept the Golden Merry, after he and Luffy dueled, he also knew that the Golden Merry could not continue sailing, which made him have to accept it.

And the reason why William chose Carter French's secret base was not because it was safe, but mainly because he wanted to use Carter French's technology. And to be honest, this is actually the most unsafe place, but the reason why William chose this place is not only to repay the kindness of the Merry, but also to wait for the rabbit to wait for CP9 to appear.

William is well aware that Nicole Robin is now with the World Government's CP9. However, the purpose of CP9's lurking in the City of Seven Waters for so many years was to leave Tom with the weapon blueprints for containing ancient weapons, and Nicole Robin just happened to encounter them.

If CP9 hadn't found the blueprints in Mr. Iceberg's possession, they would have suspected Carter French. Although Carter French was presumed to have died in a shipwreck many years ago, Carter French, who was seriously injured at the time, survived with his superb skills. With the help of Cp9, it is not a problem to find out that Carter French is still alive and has been in contact with Mr. Iceberg.

Even if it is the location of the warehouse under the bridge, it is not difficult to investigate it by means of CP9, after all, there are many people, and you can know the specific location as long as you interrogate a few more people in the know.

"What are you going to do?" Seeing that William and Usopp were really planning to repair the Golden Merry, Carter French suddenly became interested. He had never seen anyone so attached to a ship.

"Hey, you're so free, why don't you come and do me a favor!" William said to Carter French and the Cube Sisters, who were watching from the sidelines, "of course it's a major overhaul of the ship." This is a makeshift drawing, you should understand it, right?"

"This drawing looks like a layman's drawing!" Carter French took the drawing from William's hand and glanced at it with disdain. Although he seemed interested, he refused to participate and said, "It's fun, but I'm sorry, I don't want to build any boats anymore!"

In fact, William had long expected that the knot in Carter French's heart had not yet been untied. Otherwise, Carter French would have only been a ship-wreaking since Mr. Tom's death, and had never built a ship

"Although the keel is broken, it can still be used!" "The keel is equivalent to the spine of a ship, and if it is damaged, it will affect the safety of the ship. William asked Usopp to remove the keel from the first half of the Golden Merry and use it as the keel of the Merry's new body.

All the materials of the New Merry come from the Golden Merry itself, and it can even be said that it has undergone extensive modifications on the basis of the original. Although the Golden Merry was in tatters, there were still not many parts that could be used, and William's main purpose was to make the ship's spirit flexible.

Seeing that William and Usopp, two laymen, were actually working in an orderly manner, Carter French's mood could not calm down, and asked seriously: "Are you serious?"

"This is the only way I can think of to repay Merry's kindness!" William thought to himself: Merry, you have brought my soul back to life, and I will let your soul continue to live.

Although William and Usopp were neither boatmen nor even had any experience in shipbuilding, it was not a problem to build a small boat with four people. The nose of the new Merry is similar to that of the Golden Merry, except for the iconic sheep's head that has not been changed, and a small cannon is embedded in the nose.

"Before Merry and I joined, you were on such a big ship, right?" Usopp suddenly remembered that when he first saw William and the others, the four of them were in a boat about the same size.

But recalling these events, William and Usopp were silent for a while.

However, the New Merry is not a sailing ship, but a small boat that uses outboard power to move forward, and the power engine used is Usopp using Vegapunk, and even if it is built, it is several times more powerful than ordinary steam engines. When he was making this power machine, Usopp also curiously asked William where he got the design drawings, and William only said that he saw it in the navy, and did not say the name of Vegapunk.

"When that's done, let's go back to the East China Sea with the Merry!" Usopp used all the parts that could be used on the Golden Merry on the New Merry, eager to make an identical ship.

Of course, in fact, there are not many parts of the Golden Merry itself, and even the keel can only be used separately. On the contrary, all the iron sheets used to repair the Golden Merry can be used, mainly to wrap the hull of the New Merry so as not to be damaged in the event of impact, of course, this is what Usopp requested, he is really afraid that the Merry will lose the Merry again.

"William, let's use the mainmast to make the seat!" Hearing Usopp's suggestion, William took out Longquan and divided it by two to cut the main violation, and then Usopp personally processed it.

"Hey, you're not kidding, are you?" Seeing that William and Usopp had actually overhauled the ship, Carter French couldn't help but say, "This ship is in tatters like this, there aren't many parts that can be used at all, right?"

Seeing William and Usopp's serious attitude, Carter French was also a little moved. Although he also wanted to go over and help, he would not break his oath because of a small touch, of course, he would point out the two laymen from time to time.

"Usopp, it's almost enough to put the outer wheel on it!" William said to Usopp after cutting the material. Although the New Merry was almost finished, William did not know if the soul of the ship spirit could be transferred.

Although all the materials used to make the new Merry came from the Golden Merry, less than one-third of the materials could actually be used, and the rest of the materials could not be used due to various originals.
