"Mr. Luffy~ Good morning!"

The delicate and weak Keya, wearing a beige princess dress, stood quietly at the gate of the mansion, enjoying this rare fresh air.

Luffy, who happened to see Luffy returning from Sipro Village with his servants, immediately said hello happily and loudly.

"Hello, Miss Koya!"

"I was going to look for you."

Luffy smiled like a sunny face, slowly approached Koya, and said softly and kindly, as if he was afraid to break the silence of the early morning.

Keya was slightly stunned and asked:

"Looking for me?"

"Mr. Luffy, do you have something?"

Luffy smiled and nodded slightly, and continued to Koya:

"Do you have a butler here named Merry?"

"Huh?"

Keya was instantly surprised, and said with some confusion:

"That's right, but Steward Merry was attacked by Chloe before, and he is still recuperating from his injuries......"

Then, he said slowly for some unknown reason:

"Excuse me, is there anything Mr. Luffy looking for him?"

Because Merry's injuries were extremely serious, after the incident was over yesterday, he had a full day of rest under the care of several doctors, and it was not until this morning that he just woke up.

So, in Keya's impression, Luffy shouldn't have met Butler Merry yet.

Luffy smiled lightly, changed the subject, and did not answer Keya's question:

"My pirate group is still short of one that is qualified to carry our ship......"

"Huh?"

Keya's soft eyes flashed with confusion, and she subconsciously snorted from her nose, not knowing what Luffy was talking about.

Seeing the confusion in Koya's eyes, Luffy continued to smile:

"Miss Keya, I wonder if you can fund a ship for us to be our dream boat?"

"Huh?! But ......"

Keya hesitated with some confusion.

It's not that she's reluctant, it's just that she thinks it's strange that someone as powerful as Luffy doesn't have a pirate ship yet.

And......

Under my own industry, there are no very good ships at all.

The kind-hearted Keya did not hide it in the slightest, and directly confided out the thoughts in her heart:

"But...... Mr. Luffy, I don't seem to have any very good ships right now. ”

"Otherwise, Mr. Luffy, you wait a few more days, and I'll immediately call the butler and go to the dockyard on other islands to build one for you, how about it?"

In Koya's opinion, how could such a powerful Luffy and his pirate group fall in love with those humble ships that deliver goods.

She decided that this time she must spare no expense to build the best ship in the East China Sea for Luffy and them, and repay Luffy and others for their kindness.

After all, Keya she, although she has countless properties, countless mansions, and countless employees, has business dealings with many chambers of commerce in the East China Sea.

But she has no interest in money!

She had never touched money in her life.

"Don't bother!"

Luffy said in a repulsive voice.

If you talk about ordinary boats, he can get them no matter how big they are.

After all, behind Luffy, there is a country's workforce.

The reason why he was reluctant to turn on the navigation ship system was because, in Luffy's heart, he wanted that ship to reach the top of the world with them.

【Golden Merry】

An ordinary small sailing ship designed and built by an ordinary person, but it gave birth to a ship spirit that few ships in the world have.

It is a feat that no other ship can ever match.

The ship elf is a legendary creature in the world of One Piece.

It is usually produced by a ship through the mutual care of the crew and the cherishing of the hull, a special kind of spirit.

In this world, although there are not many ships that give birth to ship elves, there are by no means a few.

However, the ship elves who can repair the hull of the ship, modify the hull of the ship, and control the navigation of the ship like the Merry are absolutely unique.

"As far as I know, your butler Merry must have designed a ship with his own hands, right?"

Luffy asked Keya with a little anticipation.

"What?"

Keya's eyes were still confused, and then as if she suddenly thought of something, she asked tentatively at Luffy:

"You mean—the Golden Merry?"

After Luffy's reminder, Keya remembered it instantly.

That is, a few years ago, when Chloe had not yet come to Keya's house.

Keya's parents were not contaminated with illness, and the family's business was thriving and peaceful.

In order to reward the loyalty of the butler of Merry, his father once asked him if he had anything he wanted.

At that time, without thinking, the steward of Merry excitedly took out a design drawing, that is, the design of the Golden Merry.

He said that he hoped that Keya's father could fulfill his dream and build this ship that he had designed by himself and had been hidden for many years, so as to fulfill his wish.

Keya's father also readily agreed, after all, it was just a small boat, and it was just a drop in the bucket for their family's strength.

However, because the ship is small and not suitable for cargo transportation, the Merry is still stored in the port of Keya's house from the time it left the factory until now.

For many years, no one cared about it, and only the butler Merry would use his spare time to clean the hull of the ship.

Luffy smiled at Khaya and nodded, and said happily:

"That's right, it's the Golden Merry!"

After getting Luffy's affirmation, Keya lowered her arm slightly with one hand, and pointed to the flesh on her chin with the other hand, her bright eyes raised slightly, unusually cute, and showed a thoughtful look, and said softly:

"If my memory is correct, it should be parked at the shipping port on the west side of the island......

Luffy seemed to have a glint in his eyes, and continued to Koya:

"If you can, Miss Koya must give us the Golden Merry!"

Luffy unceremoniously opened his mouth to ask for it, and Koya didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it.

On the contrary, I was very excited because I could help Luffy.

However, Keya, who had just risen in excitement, suddenly thought of something, and there was a trace of hesitation in her eyes, and she said worriedly:

"I'd love to be able to help Mr. Luffy......"

"But ......"

"Although the Merry is my asset, he is also the lifelong dream of my butler Merry."

As she spoke, Keya suddenly bowed slightly to Luffy and said apologetically:

"So, I'm sorry! Mr. Luffy, I can't make this decision for Steward Melly! ”

"It's okay! Miss Koya! ”

Just as Luffy was about to say something, a gentle male voice suddenly came.

"Melly!?"

When Keya saw the comer, she immediately ran forward, grabbed Merry's weak body, and said worriedly:

"Why did you get up, didn't you say that you don't have to work and have a good rest?"

Melly's body, wrapped in a whole circle of bandages, wrapped the knife marks in front of him, and said with a somewhat pale smile:

"I'm sorry, miss, for worrying you."

"But I'm much better now, and I can walk normally."

As he spoke, Melly walked towards Luffy step by step with the help of Keya.

He had already heard the news from the other servants without the slightest pause, and flew directly to the road with a butler salute.

It seemed that because the bowing action was too big, it touched Melly's wound, making his expression condense slightly.

But still gritting his teeth, he continued:

"I've met Luffy-sama."

"Thank you, sir, for saving Miss Koya!"

In the face of this salute, Luffy waved his hand slightly, signaling that Merry should not be so restrained, and then continued:

"Don't be so polite, it's just a matter of convenience for us."

"Besides, you don't need to call me sir, you can just call me Mr. like Keya......"

"Okay, Mr. Luffy."

Melly bowed slightly again and said with respect on her face.

Luffy nodded lightly and asked at him:

"Did you hear what we just said?"

Melly immediately replied:

"Yes, Mr. Luffy, I heard it all."

"Hmm...... So what do you think? ”

Although Luffy knew that Merry would definitely agree, he still asked inquiringly.

Melly bowed again and said:

"Mr. Luffy, the Golden Merry is a dream I've always wanted to fulfill when I was younger.

It is already incredible for me to be fortunate enough to be appreciated by the master and let her come to this real world from my fantasy. ”

"Now that she can still be appreciated by you, Mr. Luffy, this is a supreme honor for me!"

"I hope Mr. Luffy can treat her well, after all, she's like my child."

Melly didn't say anything like he disagreed.

For he knew that there were things that he could not say as a servant.

Moreover, it has always been his dream that the Merry can really sail.

Following a big guy like Luffy, it couldn't be more perfect......

Therefore, Merry is still very happy about this matter.

"Hahahaha......"

After receiving Melly's affirmative answer, Luffy instantly laughed and said:

"Don't worry! I would definitely treat her like a partner! ”

……

……

As the day passed, the weather began to get hot.

The coolness of the early morning is no longer there, replaced by a warm laziness.

If the morning is a vibrant spring, then this is a youthful summer.

As the saying goes, spring sleepiness, summer fatigue, autumn fatigue, and hibernation.

Luffy let out a big sigh and, led by Merry, came to the port where the Merry docked.

A small, old-fashioned sailing boat with a goat's bow is parked here.

Obviously, there is no one to ride and manage, but the hull of the boat is unusually clean.

Looking at this ordinary ship that had made countless seames cry, Luffy said secretly in his heart:

"In this life, I will let you travel the world with me! Merry! ”

I don't know if it's an illusion, but the butler Melly suddenly felt that the bow of the sheep-shaped ship seemed to smile just now......
