Chapter Ninety-Seven: Heading to the City of Seven Waters
"Grandma, come and see, there are a group of strange people here, so interesting!" As this hearty laugh came, Timny, who was watching the play with Kunbei, immediately turned around and pulled out a drunken old woman from the hut who was walking and shaking. "What a strange grandma!" Looking at the strange grandmother who was drinking with green wavy hair, the same cherry lipstick, and a bottle of wine with a grin on her fangs, Luffy stopped fighting with Usopp and looked at the strange grandmother with a smile on her face. "Hiccup! What are you here for? Funny bunch of guys! Looking at the strange grandmother who looked at the lively scene on the boat opposite, she burped contentedly, tightened her wind-blown conductor's clothes, and asked curiously. Yes! Grandma, I'm Monchi D* Luffy, the man who wants to be the King of the Pirates! This is Usopp, Zoro, Sanji, Nami, Chopper, Robin, and Planck. Luffy kicked off Usopp who was lying on top of him, jumped off the boat with a flying jump, and stood in front of the ghost grandmother, baring his teeth and showing his classic idiot smile after introducing himself and everyone in a set of classic routines. Oh, it's a pirate boy! Hello, I'm Granny Cocoro, this is my granddaughter Timny and my pet Kunbei! Granny Kekoro put down the empty wine bottle and loudly introduced her own people. Grandma, we've got it! Timny's disgruntled responder. Looking at the stretched rubber hand, dotting back and forth among the members of the Straw Hat Pirates, Timny, who was very interesting, was instantly conquered by Luffy, pestering Luffy to see that strange ability. In addition to Luffy, who was pestered by Timny, the Straw Hats also politely greeted Granny Kokoro. "If my mother-in-law likes it, let's try it! This is the only one, and there is no other semicolon of home-brewed orange wine! Planck looked at Granny Cocoro, who was staring at him with a greedy face, and consciously contributed her own orange wine, but Granny Coco Luo did not refuse, and impatiently uncorked the bottle and drank it with her head up. Refreshing! Granny Cocoro, who was half a bottle of wine, shouted happily, and Nami, who was looking at her mother-in-law with a happy face, took the opportunity to come up, "Mother-in-law, is that the sea train that just passed?" "Yes! It was invented many years ago by Mr. Tom, the world's first shipwright, on the City of Seven Waters, and it was called the Smoking Tom, isn't it great? It is a great epoch-making invention that only exists in this sea, and as long as it is available, people can sail freely in this sea area without recording pointers and sea boats. This is the Sift station, where outsiders and locals can take the sea train to St. Poplar, the "Queen of Spring", or Pukki, the "City of Gastronomy". Pirates, are you going to try it? This great invention can only feel its charm if you try it yourself, wahahaha! Granny Cocoro laughed and poured half a bottle of orange wine again, and tossed the empty bottle to Planck, "Pirate brother has another bottle!" "You didn't win the lottery, where did you get another bottle?" Planck, who couldn't help but complain, painfully took out a box of orange wine from his treasure and sent it to Granny Cocoro's feet in Nami's threatening eyes. Granny Ke Ke Luo opened the package with a smile on her face, skillfully opened a bottle again, and filled it.
Luffy, who heard Kip in the "City of Food", instantly flashed in his eyes and shouted, "It's great, Granny Monster is so good, let's go to that City of Food, Na~Beauty~ It's okay to go to the City of Food!" "Luffy, who doesn't want to have a face for food, once again showed off his lower limit and pestered Nami to be coquettish." Ah, Nami-san! I want it too! Looking at Luffy's Sanji, who was rolling on the ground with Nami's **, he instantly got this new skill, jumped off the boat with a heart full of hearts, and went straight to Nami.
Bang bang! In Timny's amazed gaze, Luffy and Sanji squatted on the side and covered their heads, silently crying.
"Sister Pirate, it's so powerful!!" "Meow !!" Timny and Kunmbe looked at Nami adoringly and exclaimed.
"Wha! What an energetic bunch of little guys! If you're a food capital, you'll have a car to come! Granny Cocoro put down another empty bottle and laughed out loud.
"Haha, mother-in-law, they are joking, we have our own boat, and we also have record pointers, we can't take the sea train to the food capital, but can my mother-in-law show me where this direction is?" Nami held out her hand, and her face was full of flattery, so that Granny Kokora looked at the recording pointer on her wrist.
"In this direction, well, I want to think about it!" Granny Kekeluo, who was a little underestimating the strength of orange wine, shook her head that was a little dizzy and thought about it. "By the way, it's the capital of seven waters, wahahaha, it's also a good place, and there is a mask carnival going on recently! You can go and see it. ”
"Mother-in-law, we need to find a place to repair the ship, is there one? Our buddy Melly has just gone through an amazing adventure and needs to be patched up. Usopp, who had just been kicked by Luffy but sent a pile of decks shattered where he had fallen, asked anxiously.
"Looking for a boatman? Wowha, it's time to go to the Capital of Seven Waters, where the best boatmen in the world are gathered! Granny Cocoro praised loudly as if she had thought of something.
"Wow! Are you sure? Shall we find a shipwright to get on board, then? What do you think? Luffy, who was alive again, suggested with a happy face.
"Shipwright? One is needed! After all, Usopp and I are not professionals, and the situation of the Merry is a bit bad as I can see! Planck, who was snickering while watching Granny Cocoro's drunken dizziness, also became serious and agreed to Usopp and Luffy's proposal.
"New partner?" Chopper exclaimed with longing excitement.
"Hahaha, since you are going to the Capital of the Seven Waters, I am a good drinking friend with the owner of the best shipwright company Carrera, I can write you a letter of introduction, and you can go to the Capital of the Seven Waters with the letter of introduction to him!" Granny Coco opened a bottle of orange wine again and drank it. "It's fun, Pirate Boy, you have the potential to be a first-class brewer!" Granny Cocoro, who had made fun of Planck, went back to the house to write a letter of introduction.
"Planck, get two more boxes for your mother-in-law!" Nami looked at Kokoro's mother-in-law's back, and ordered with a roll of her eyes.
"Why? It wasn't so easy for me to make these orange wines, and it was not easy for me to make this superlative! Planck retorted loudly with a pained face.
"Huh? Don't want to? And what you asked me for yesterday? Oh, that's not easy! Nami smiled with a demonic smile, how dare she disobey her Nami's straw hat crew hasn't been born yet, little sample, can't you kill you?
"Nami-san, this is all my inventory, I'll send it to my mother-in-law," Planck, who was dripping blood in his heart, forced a smile into the house, and after a while, Granny Cocoro, with a smile on her face, burped and put a letter of introduction in Nami's hand. "Walking north along the railroad tracks will lead you to where you want to go, by the way, there is also a specific route map of the capital of the seven waters, which will also be sent to you."
Nami, who quietly praised her wisdom, happily accepted the kindness of Granny Kokoro. "Then, mother-in-law, let's say goodbye here, goodbye!" After getting the information she wanted, Nami beckoned her men to the Merry, and after a while, with the farewell of Granny Cokoro, Timny, and Kunbei, the Straw Hats set sail for their next stop, the City of the Seven Waters.
