I only heard the pigeon say it there, and everyone was stunned except for Chen Qi.

Luffy: "That's... The pigeon kept talking. ”

Usopp: "He seems to be the face of the guy in the hat." ”

Nami: "Anyway, if only I could get the money back." ”

The pigeon continued: "Hehe... Did you make a noise to everyone? I'm so sorry. ”

Luffy has been hit by Ray's five thunders, and a pigeon keeps babbling, and he feels that his worldview is about to be subverted: "For Mao, these words are said by you as a pigeon?!! ”

The pigeon ignored his shocked look and continued: "My name is Rob Luch, no, my name is Harlido, this is Rob Luch, he works here and asks for advice. ”

At this time, Nami suddenly looked like she suddenly realized, and pointed at Luqi with her hand: "I see, you have been speaking 'ventriloquism' all along, right?!" ”

Luffy was in the same posture as Usopp and Tatsuki, and said in unison with a long mouth, "I see, it's actually you who keep talking, right?" ”

Lu Qi still didn't speak, just waved his hand.

The pigeon continued: "Shut up! It doesn't matter what you say! ”

At this time, Asbagu spoke: "In short, they are all the foremen of this dockyard, and they are excellent technicians, and the Kaku just now is also one of them. The shipwrights here all rely on their craft, and although their personalities are a bit eccentric, please don't mind. ”

With that, Asbagu and Luqi introduced Luffy and the others into the shipyard.

As soon as I entered, I saw that many craftsmen were busy, but even if they were busy, Mr. Asbagu greeted them warmly.

It seems that Asbagu is very popular here.

As she walked, Kalifa told Luffy about the past.

Originally, there were seven shipyards competing in the Water Capital, so it was also called the 'Seven Water Capital'. Asbagu conquered the crowd with his skill, and five years ago he merged the seven companies to form the current Carrera Company, and his passion for shipbuilding and its technical requirements have always been revered by the craftsmen.

After hearing this, Luffy went up and patted Asbagu on the shoulder: "Hey, uncle, it turns out that you are also a great shipwright, come with us to be a pirate!" ”

Kalifa suddenly became angry, and a bruise appeared on his head: "Hey, what are you talking about bastard?" Don't be rude! ”

Asbagu didn't really care: "Oh? Don't you have shipwrights on board? ”

Chenqi: "Yes, we're here to find a shipwright to join. ”

Asbagu smiled: "Shipwright, we have a lot of people here, but I don't know if there are any guys who are willing to be pirates." If anyone wants to go, take him away. ”

When Luffy heard this, he smiled: "Really? You're a reasonable person, but can't you? ”

Asbagu: "No, I'm the mayor." By the way, is there a woman named Nicole Robin on your ship? ”

Luffy smiled, "yes, he's a very smart person. ”

While he was talking, Kaku returned.

And Usopp was carrying 200 million Baileys and was curiously looking around the shipyard.

Seeing the mayor, Kaku said in a very respectful tone: "Oh, Mr. Asbagu is here too." ”

Nami asked Kaku, "Have you seen our ship?" ”

"I've seen the ship."

Luffy hurriedly asked, "How is it?" So how much is it expected to cost? We'll pay as much as we want, and if we can, we hope to make it stronger, and add a few more cannons, and the speed will be increased. ”

Chen Qi's face was not very good-looking, because he knew...

Kaku also sank his face: "With all due respect, even if we do, there is nothing we can do." ”

"Huh?"

"Hey, what do you mean by that?"

"Your ship was badly damaged in the battle, its keel was damaged, and it can no longer sail!"

Luffy was suddenly unhappy: "You mean you can't fix it?" Why? Aren't you great shipwrights? What we have is money! ”

Kaku: "It's not about money, there's no way to fix this ship." Sailing here in this state is already a miracle. ”

Then, he explained the "dragon bone" to Luffy and them in detail.

"So, there's nothing anyone can do about your ship, it's turned into a pile of timber waiting to fall apart."

Nami was furious: "Hey! You don't have to say that, do you? ”

"What about absolutely? It's a fact. ”

Luffy crossed his waist: "Then in that case, you guys will build another ship!" Build another 'Merry'. ”

At this time, the pigeon spoke: "It is not impossible, we can build many similar ships, but strictly speaking, no one can build exactly the same boat." ”

Nami: "Why? ”

The pigeon danced and said, "Is there a tree in this world that looks exactly the same?" Because sailboats are almost all made of wood, the size, lines, and everything else of the boat is influenced by wood. Even according to the same blueprint, it is impossible to make two identical ships. If we build a similar ship, the one who feels the strongest difference must be yourselves, Coo-Coo! ”

Nami couldn't seem to accept this sad truth: "How can this be? So, is the Merry really unable to move forward? ”

Pigeon: "Yes, either dismantle it or wait for it to sink to the bottom of the sea." ”

This is indeed heart-wrenching news.

When everyone heard this, they fell into deep thought.

Chen Qi lowered his head, remembering that when he had just set off from Xibro Village in the East China Sea, the Merry was still brand new.

Merry, how many happy and unforgettable years you have spent with us.

Is it really impossible to sail?

Are you tired? Want to take a break?

Asbagu: "Ships have a lifespan, but isn't that a good opportunity?" ”

Luffy was categorical: "No! I don't want to change! ”

"Luffy..."

"The Merry is our home to move forward, as long as we repair it, we can definitely move forward! Yesterday it sailed very well, and today you suddenly say that it can't sail, how can people believe it?! ”

Asbagu's expression also became serious: "You are not satisfied if it sinks to the bottom of the sea, right?" It's really overwhelming, can you be considered the captain of a ship? Anyway, I've said what I should say, so think about it yourself. ”

Then, Asbagu turned and left: "If you want to buy a ship, come to me, I will help you, if you take out all the 300 million Baileys you have, we will build you a new ship." ”

Thanks to [Yong] for the reward of 100 book coins.
