Chapter Eighty-Four: The Undercurrent of the Capital of Seven Waters
Watching the train running on the sea crash into the big frog, the group (except Luo Xiu) continued to move forward with a puzzled expression. Writing "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Soon, they came to a train platform.
On the platform, when they were found approaching, a very lively little girl nervously shouted to an old woman who was drinking beside her:
"Mother-in-law, it's a pirate!"
"Oh no!" the drunken mother-in-law stood up and called for help through the phone bug. After the result was connected, she burped: "Eh~ I'm sorry, I forgot what I wanted to say......"
So Luffy landed smoothly.
Looking at the pirates in front of her, the old woman looked very calm, still holding a bottle of wine in her hand and drinking. The same calm little girl introduced herself very generously. She also mentioned her mother-in-law and pets by the way.
After seeing the granddaughter's introduction, the mother-in-law said leisurely: "Anyway, you are not train robbers, right, separate~"
"My name is Luffy, and I'm the man who wants to be the king of the pirates!"
"Really?"
"Really!"
The drunken mother-in-law's eyes flashed: "Hahaha, you are such an interesting boy!"
Nami asked Timny, "Do you know what that thing was going on?steamship?, but that shape doesn't look like it can float......
The little girl smiled and replied, "Oh! That's the sea train! This sea train is the only one in the world -- [Smoke?Tom]!"
"Hahaha, little girl, what, are you interested in that train?" Granny Coco Luo took over: "It was powered by a steam engine." However, the main thing to do is to rely on a special track below the surface of the sea. ”
"Tracks?" Nami looked hard, and sure enough, she found a looming railroad track under the surface of the sea, "Wow, there really is!"
Timny asked a little strangely, "Speaking of which, it's dangerous for you to come here so directly." There's a fence over there, right?"
"Oh, that's for quarantine. I'm sorry, it's so inconspicuous, I didn't pay attention......" Nami said embarrassedly.
Luffy looked depressed: "Danger is danger, but frogs don't understand this......, right? That's my prey!"
"Ahhh......h It's called [Yokozuna], and it likes to find people to compare its strength, and has always wanted to win the sea train. An impact of that magnitude just now won't kill it, and it will come again. As she spoke, Timny suddenly looked a little lost.
"I see, no wonder it's covered in scars...... What a guy with perseverance!" Luffy's focus was obviously wrong: "Okay! I won't eat it anymore!"
"I shouldn't have eaten it in the first place!" Nami couldn't help but punch him.
"And where do you want to go?" asked Granny Cocoro, "if you get on the train from here......
"Nope. Without waiting for her mother-in-law to finish, Nami spoke. She raised the record pointer in her hand: "Next we are going to the capital of seven waters." I've heard there are a lot of good boatmen there?"
"Oh, you're looking for a boatman...... Then you've really found the right place!" Speaking of the shipwrights, Granny Cocoro became visibly more energetic: "That city started with shipbuilding! Now, the skills of the shipwrights there are still the best in the world!"
"Oh oh! it's just like the teacher said!" Luffy was very happy: "Without further ado, Nami, let's go! Mother-in-law, goodbye!"
With a letter of introduction and a map of the city given by Granny Cocoro, the Merry moved on.
Looking at the Merry in the distance, Granny Kekoro muttered to herself: "One Piece, it's really like it......"
The platform where Granny Ke Ke Luo is located is already very close to the capital of the seven waters. After setting off, they had sailed on the sea for less than an hour before they saw a bustling maritime city.
From a distance, the City of Seven Waters is a huge fountain on which the houses are arranged in layers. The water that sprays up from the center of the city and flows back to the sea along dozens of waterways. Luo Xiu saw that he wanted to complain a little here: what is the power of the water column that sprays up, and what is the significance of this design?
As they come into contact with the city's inhabitants, the peculiarity of the city becomes even more apparent - no one here is afraid of pirates. Even just through verbal confirmation, it was as if Luffy was not going to do anything bad. He was also enthusiastic to guide them through the side entrance of the city into the mooring.
When the Merry stopped, a group of people began to discuss the distribution of those who stayed behind and those who went ashore. Although the Merry can be disembarked in a half-orc form, they also have plans to repair the ship today, so it was decided that the Merry would remain in shape. Moreover, the use of fruit abilities creates an additional burden, which is not good for Merry's injuries.
The old rule is that the lottery decides whether the personnel will stay or not.
Luo Xiu had his own plan, so he used his ability to make a cheat and landed properly. As soon as he stepped into the outer circle of the city, he fed back the information that someone was spying on him. It's amazing, it's near the fountain at the highest point in the city. Although I used a telescope, this vision is still worth affirming.
"CP9, those old immortals still don't know me well enough. Luo Xiu quietly moved forward. Soon to the outskirts on the other side of the city. This is the House of Frankie, a colony of undesirable people who are hated by the people of the city.
The person who was spying on him felt inexplicably tightened: there was a situation!
He contacted Bruno directly with a phone bug.
Bruno, who received the notification, immediately entered the toilet in the tavern, and then used the fruit ability to open an air door to this person: "What's wrong?"
"The first target has made contact with the original first target, and needs your ability to listen. ”
"How big is the door?"
"It can't be too big, the first target will use the color of sight and hearing. With the tip of the little finger, place ...... It's on the floor of Frankie's House. ”
"Right now. ”
Bruno used the fruit ability to open a small door. The other person took out a prop that amplified the sound and gently placed it on the small air door:
"Who are you, and what are you doing?"
"My name is Luo Xiu. The surname is Luo, and the name is Xiu. Come here and find a guy named Frankie. ”
"Oh, you're looking for me?"
"You're that, Carter Flam?"
"Boy, where did you hear that name?"
"Don't be nervous, I'm not a world politician. If I have to say, I'm a pirate. ”
"Bang!"
"Hey, hey, I said don't be nervous. I'm not here to ask you for something. I have come to you today for two things: first, you have learned the trade from Mr. Tom, so I want you to come and work as a shipwright on our ship. Don't be in a hurry to refuse, I probably know more than you think......"
"Bang!"
"Labor and management don't care who you are! Uncle Ben never needs others to dictate things! Not to mention a guy of unknown origin like you!"
"Bang bang bang ......" (all kinds of destructive sounds)
"It seems that it will be difficult to convince you today. Well, you might as well consider my suggestion. By the way, we've been getting a lot of gold lately, and if we were all in Bailey, it would be about 400 million Baileys or more......"
Then, all that remained was the shouting and scolding of Frankie's younger brothers.
"That's it. Motioning for Bruno to disarm, the monitor quickly analyzed the information obtained from the eavesdrop.
Then both of them returned to their places of work as soon as possible. The news was conveyed by him to the five old stars through CP9's internal channels.
The new order was given very quickly on the same day: capture Frankie and bring him back to Justice Island. CP9 is back in full force.
After several years of planning, the agents who had planned to launch an operation today silently adjusted their physical condition.
And all this was "seen" by Luo Xiu: "Yes, the speed is a little faster than I estimated." Recently, the throbbing of [] has become more and more frequent, and I guess my stuff should be in the navy...... No, it's probably the garbage in their hands. Tsk, that's annoying......"
Beneath the peaceful city, there is an undercurrent. Tonight, a good shipwright is about to be transformed into a cold-blooded agent.
