The capital of seven waters, a commercial street. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Hey, Mr. Boat Doctor, look over there, there's a bookstore, do you want to check it out?" said Robin, pointing to a house at the end of the pedestrian street, to Chopper.

"Huh, really? Can I go check it out?" Chopper jumped excitedly, and with a whoosh he had already jumped to the door of the bookstore, and anxiously spun in circles.

"......!!!" Robin said with two large drops of sweat on the back of his head, stammering a little, "Uh, dang, of course you can ......"

"Great! Well, I'll go in first!" and with an affirmative answer, Chopper jumped and rushed into the bookstore.

"Hehehe...... It's really ......" Robin chuckled, Chopper's childlike behavior always made her happy from the bottom of her heart.

“…… You're having a great time, Robin......"

"What......" Robin suddenly looked frightened, his mouth wide open but unable to make any sound. The sudden, muffled voice, like a demon's whisper, echoed in her mind.

At the same time, a burly figure appeared in her field of vision.

“c…… c……”

Subconsciously clenched his arms, Robin's body trembled uncontrollably. Although this voice has not been heard for a long time, it has always existed in the bottom of her heart and has never been forgotten.

The man was dressed in colorful robes, with an unkempt and exaggerated wig, and a strange mask. In addition to the bloodstained tears under his eyelids, which stood out on his mask, he walked down the street like the most common celebratory crowd in the City of Seven Waters.

However, it was this masked man who was like an ordinary person, and the moment when he intertwined with Robin made Robin fall into the deepest nightmare. The emotion of fear completely overwhelmed Robin.

Time seemed to stand still, and even space seemed to freeze. The feeling of the breeze blowing in her ears, the inaudible grinding sound, the gently swaying twigs, and the sparkling waves were all infinitely amplified in her senses. At the same time, her mind became blank and sluggish.

"Yes...... cp9……”

Inaudible words seeped through her teeth, echoing with the "click" of the masked man's shoes touching the ground as he walked.

"Click...... Click...... ......The masked man walked away calmly, while Robin remained in place with a dejected look, two tears crossing her cheeks without knowing when.

“cp…… 9……”

……

"Brush Lala...... Whoa, whoa, whoa......"

After the door of the water gate elevator is closed, the drainage outlet in the elevator is also opened, and the water stored in the reservoir quickly flows down the hole into the water gate elevator.

The drain is not too large, and it is designed to prevent the water from rising too quickly. In this way, even if the water is fully drained, the people in the elevator will only feel a slow ascent process.

However, no matter how cleverly designed the drain is and how gentle the way the water is discharged, there is one thing that cannot be ignored: noise. Especially in this confined space, the sound of running water is quite grand. Fortunately, the locals of the City of Seven Waters have long been accustomed to this, and they are not too surprised. But this matter is unbearable on Crockdahl's body.

If the reason is to be said, such a place with such heavy water vapor, and it is still a confined space, it is enough to make him feel anxious. And what made him even more speechless was that the water here was still seawater.

As a Devil Fruit powerhouse, being in a place surrounded by sea water makes it uncomfortable just to think about it. What's more, in the sound of rushing water, it is inevitable that water droplets will splash. Although the water droplets on the body will make people feel refreshed, but for Crockdahl, it seems like the feeling of many ants burrowing around the body.

Coupled with the experience of falling into the water one after another some time ago, it is definitely not good, which naturally made Crockdahl realize what it means to be bad. In addition, discovering the non-stop noise attack of Xiao Liu, who is like a new continent, made him feel more and more of an urge to kill.

The water level gradually increased, and at the same time, under the cover of the sound of the water, the Frankie family also manipulated their swordfish bull and approached the location of Crockdahl.

Although the bulls in the Watergate elevator are said to be lined up, there is a little distance between each bull. And this is not a big distance, but under the skillful operation skills of the French family, it passes calmly. Occasionally, other passengers are bumped into, and the sound of abuse is drowned out by the rumbling sound of water.

"Ahh

When he sneezed again and rubbed his nose rather speechlessly, Crockdahl shuddered at the same time. It was as if there was a deep resentment haunting him, and he couldn't help but feel a chill.

"What the hell is going on...... Who's ...... Are you talking about me?" and with a strange anomaly that he didn't know where it came from, Crockdahl made the following judgment.

In the darkness, on the surface of the water, unknown to Crockdahl, a faint ripple spread out in all directions, centered on the swordfish bull he was riding. Immediately afterwards, the ripples oscillated more and more intensely, and the water surface inside the elevator suddenly fluctuated up and down, just like a wave suddenly rising above the sea surface.

Although many people wonder why the normally calm water surface suddenly has waves, but when you think about it, it all comes down to the fact that the drain is accidentally opened. On the contrary, the Frankie family, who had finally approached Crockdahl, suddenly rolled their eyes and fell from their respective bulls as if they had been attacked.

"Huh?" Suddenly a strange sound of water came into his ears, causing Crockdahl to prick up his ears in alarm. But then there was no abnormality for a long time, and the sound of rushing water filled his ears, so that he thought that he had stayed in a place full of water for a long time, and thus hallucinated. On the other hand, he became more and more disgusted with the capital of seven waters, a place full of water.

"Crunch ......"

There was a sound of mechanical axles turning, and a thin light suddenly appeared on the other side opposite the direction of entry. Then the gap grew, and the light finally dispelled the darkness again.

"Welcome to the Shipbuilding Island Business District!" With the voice of the staff, the doors of the Watergate elevator opened, and the passengers drove out of the elevator with their respective bulls.

Exiting the Water Gate elevator, there is a slightly larger lake that diverges out into several different waterways. According to the signs erected next to the waterway, the streets leading to the commercial district are opened. At this time, in front of each branch road, there are many people who claim to be tour guides, loudly soliciting customers. Every time a bull comes out of the elevator, they rush to it.

"Wow, it's so lively, and those people, like wolves that see their prey! You know what? I'm ...... in the forest," Little Six exclaimed again, making Crockdahl's muscles jump.

"Can't you just be quiet for a while?!"

"Huh, what? You know, this is the first time I've seen a lively place! Hey, big ice cubes! It's so fragrant, don't you smell it? What is it, I'm going to eat it! Swordfish, over there!"

With Xiao Liu's shout, the swordfish really rushed over there at full speed.

Stumbling to the sudden acceleration of the swordfish, Crockdahl showed a helpless expression, looking at the sky, as if resigned to his fate. But......

"What is that? Flying, man?" In the sky, a figure leaped from building to building, although it was not clear to see the face, but the uniform of the shipbuilding company and the long square-shaped nose undoubtedly left a deep impression on people.

"Have I seen it somewhere, and why do I have such a strong sense ......of immediacy?"

"Oh! it's Usopp!" Clokdahl snapped his fist high-five.

"It turned out to be Kaku, a CP9 agent, I said, why is it so familiar...... Ahem......" Crockdahl sighed, "When I used to watch it, I was so envious of the feeling of flying over the city." Speaking of which, he must like the city and the job of a boatman, right?"

"It's a pity that it's a matter of identity......" Crockdahl couldn't help but regret it, "After becoming CP9, everything is involuntary, hehe, it's really ......"

"It seems that the same is true of that Kalifa, or ......" I don't know what to think, Crockdahl suddenly laughed, making Zhenghuan's Xiaoliu, who was eating a bunch of water and meat, fall into a state of confusion.

……

Perhaps, today is destined to be Luffy's lucky day. The bad news came one after another, and they didn't even have time to breathe.

The matter of 200 million Bailey has not yet been settled, but Luffy, who is the captain, has impulsively not known where to go. Nami and Usopp, who were left behind, looked at each other, not knowing what to do next, when Kaku returned.

In the same way, the appearance of Kaku also brought another, or rather, bad news that almost broke them. The Golden Merry is completely irreparable.

"What?!, you said Merry, my Merry can't be repaired, why?!" Usopp exclaimed, holding up the only remaining suitcase to Kaku, "Is it because of the money......? If you have money, there's 100 million Baileys!

Shouting, Usopp opened the suitcase and showed Kaku the cash inside.

"It's not about the money!" Kaku interrupted Usopp's shouting, word for word, "no matter how much money you pay, that ship can't be repaired." ”

"How is that possible?" Nami exclaimed, covering her lips, "if you think 100 million Bailey isn't enough......"

"Yes, do you know how hard the Merry has been through?" Usopp grabbed Kaku by the collar and yelled, "Do you know how important the Merry is to us......?

"It's not about the money!" Kaku said with some irritation, his voice unconsciously amplified, "I can understand your feelings! After all, that ship, in that situation...... It's amazing how we were able to sail here!, but all I can say is that even we can't fix it!"

"His keel...... Already ......"
