Chapter 18 Out to Sea
CHAPTER XVIII
The day after his return, Locke asked the old butler to buy him a larger boat on a nearby island.
"Young Master, do you still want to leave?" When he heard Locke's words, the old butler said anxiously.
"Of course, Grandpa Rossf, you have also seen that pirates are rampant in this world now, although there are good people among them, but most of them are thieves who kill people without blinking, if I don't keep getting stronger, sooner or later I will be targeted by those people, and when the time comes, I won't even have the ability to resist at all."
"Okay, young master, as long as you have to decide, I will support it." Rothf bowed to Locke and left the arrangement.
Looking at the old butler who had left, Locke whispered, "I know you care about me, but since you have come to this world, if you don't do something, what's the point." ”
Before coming back, Locke thought that since he wanted to change the world, he would first have to go to sea, and then choose an identity, whether to be a pirate or a navy or a pirate hunter.
First of all, the pirate hunter is the first to rule it out, after all, in the anime, there is no strong person in the pirate hunter at all, even if there may be a strong pirate hunter in this world, but Locke doesn't know.
And then there's the navy.,Although in this world the navy boasts of justice.,But after watching the anime, Locke knows,There are only a few people in the navy who really aim for justice.,Most of the navy is just the world's best lackey.,In addition to the fact that the navy is a ** institution after all.,It's full of darkness.,And if you become a navy.,The first thing to lose is what Locke doesn't want to lose.,That's what is called freedom.。
Choosing and choosing, Locke found that he could only become a pirate, a pirate like Luffy, after becoming a pirate, he stood on the opposite side of the navy, and it was simple to change the world, after all, he was already standing in evil, and it was relatively much easier to change the world, and after becoming a pirate, freedom would become his motto, in this world, a pirate is how strong you are, how free you are, and the choice between good and evil is only between your own thoughts.
After arranging the purchase of the boat, Locke exercised at home while waiting, thinking that he would not wait for a long time, but he did not expect that he would wait for a month.
Among them, it only took ten days to buy the ship, and the ship has been bought, as for why it will wait so long, or because of Yun Zhinan, this kid has only been learning the text of this sea since he came to Crispie Island, as well as the knowledge about ship repair, Locke After learning about this, he stayed on the island for a while longer, after all, Yun Zhinan is going to work as a shipwright on his own ship, if he doesn't understand anything, and there is no navigator on his ship, he still has to rely on him when he encounters a storm.
It is good for him to learn more, but fortunately, he didn't let himself wait long, Yun Zhinan only took ten days to learn the words of this world, and it only took twenty days to learn the basic knowledge of ship repair, which made Locke a little surprised.
As for why the demon would learn words so quickly, or because the words of this world originally evolved from the words he used, they were simpler than the original, and some words were only half left, and it was common sense that they were quick to learn. It's going to be harder to come instinctively.,And then it's definitely easier to learn the simple.,As for those archaeological ones like the anime.,To push from simple words.,To push difficult words.,Of course, it's going to be more difficult.。
......
When Locke asked the old butler about the things on the island, Locke took Carmen and Yunzhinan to his ship, this bow is not big, only eleven or twelve meters long, the front is a deck, and there is a cabin in the back, on which some orange trees are planted, these are all arranged by Locke with reference to Luffy's ship, after all, sailing on the sea, the biggest danger is not from the sea, but from disease, the easiest of which is scurvy. Orange trees are planted to prevent this.
The bow of the ship has to hit the horn is a kind of bird image, Locke originally wanted to change it to a dragon, but found that the crash angle was connected to the keel of the ship, Locke could only give up this idea, ready to wait for himself to go to the great route of the water capital to make a new bow, as for this bow ship, it looks good, but its predecessor is only a small merchant ship after all, in the first half of the great voyage may be able to barely sail, but in the second half, in the wind and waves, this kind of small boat is unbearable.
Locke named the ship "Phantom", and painted the name on the hull with white paint, in fact, when Locke named the ship, he also asked Carmen Houyun Zhinan, Carmen felt that the ship should be named the Chef, after all, her dream is to become the best chef in the world. But Yun Zhinan felt that it should be called the Divine Dragon, which sounded mighty.
But Locke felt that the names taken by these two people were too arrogant, and his strength was not very strong now, so it was not a provocation to others to take such an arrogant name, so he finally decided to name it with the move he developed from the fruit, so he had the current 'Phantom'.
On boarding, Locke directly cleaned up in the captain's room, Carmen chose a room next to the ship's galley, Yun Zhinan thought that since he was a shipwright, he naturally had to choose a room where he could work, so he chose a room next to the warehouse, so the three of them chose three rooms on the ship that were not hiding, leaving only two for those who would come on board in the future.
After packing up, Locke came to the deck, waved to the old butler who saw him off, and then let Yunzhinan anchor, Yang Fan, and prepare to set sail.
After giving these instructions, Locke went to the rudder of the ship, and after a while, the ship began to slowly take an interest in the sea.
After living in this world for so many years, Locke began to learn navigation knowledge after deciding to go to sea, probably because he really didn't have the talent for this, after studying for so many years, he has been barely able to discern the direction at sea, and the rest of Locke can't help.
As the ship slowly left the harbor, Locke left the rudder and called Carmen and Yunzhinan out onto the deck.
"Okay, now that we're out to sea, I'll talk about my next arrangements!"
Looking at Locke Yunnan, who came to the deck and surrounded him, Locke said.
Seeing the two nodding, Locke continued: "First of all, I told you before, we must first determine our identity when we go to sea, and we will sail on this sea as pirates in the future, I have already told you before, so now let's decide the name of the pirates!" ”
"Cut, you think I don't know, you secretly made all the pirate flags, now what are you talking about, you just tell us what it's called." Carmen heard Locke's words and gave Locke a roll of the eye.
"Ahem! Cough! Aren't I trying to be clear! Locke said and looked at Yunzhinan.
"It's good that you decide, after all, you're the captain." Looking at Locke looking at him, Yun Zhinan said.
