Chapter 218: The Capital of Seven Waters
Early the next morning, Luffy and the others boarded the Golden Merry and headed towards the distant sea to continue their journey. With the rising sun, a group of young people with dreams and fighting spirit are walking on this great voyage that countless people have walked, just for a belief and their dreams.
Luffy sat in his grand seat, because he had just returned from Sky Island and had eaten grilled sea bream yesterday, so he always felt a little uncomfortable. Going to sea is like this, always eating irregularly and not knowing what the next meal will be. Eating too much of some big fish and meat is always bad for the body. Don't look at the comics in which Luffy eats his stomach round, but that's a comic after all, and it's actually completely different in reality, although there are still these very powerful demonic powers, but people are human after all, and they still can't escape the judgment of nature.
"Hey, there's something over there. Usopp looked into the distance with his binoculars, not knowing if he was dazzled or a mirage, but it was very real.
Luffy looked in the direction of Usopp and saw a very small black dot above the sea, which was constantly getting bigger. There was a constant sound of wind and waves on the sea, so I couldn't hear anything from there.
"What's that?" said Anilu, looking in his way. After looking at it for a long time, Usopp was finally surprised and said, "Actually, the train is actually running on the sea!!"
Who would have believed that, but Luffy wasn't surprised, because he remembered that there was indeed a train on the sea in One Piece. But the other people are different, they don't know such a thing at all, and they can't help but get up and look, but they still can't see clearly at this time, but as time passes, everyone's mouths open into an O-shape, and they feel extremely shocked.
When a train was told to be running on the sea, Usopp suddenly said, "There are railroad tracks on the sea." ”
"It's incredible. ”
"This track straddles the Great Passage, it must lead somewhere. Nami asked.
"I'd love to see where he ends. Usopp sighed and watched the sea train slowly move into the distance.
"It's so fast, much faster than a ship. Robin was shocked by the speed of the train, and Luffy said, "Follow this train, let's see where he goes." ”
"What are you doing with this?" asked Arrita, puzzled.
"It's going to be a great city to be able to build this thing, so let's go see it. Arlita nodded, and the helm shifted in the direction the train was going. This railway is really quite magnificent, that is, its length, it has to be shocking, even in the world where Feng Mantian passed, there was no such technology at all, which could make the train run on the sea, but in this world, I don't know if it is very developed or too backward. It stands to reason that this should have been created in accordance with the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, when the sea pirates were rising, but later Luffy knew that it was not at all. Although there are characters such as Blackbeard and Red Banner Drake, the technology here is more advanced than that of the earth, and it can be said that the earth will be hundreds or even thousands of years later.
Laser technology, microbial research technology, advanced submachine guns, although the cannon is a little older, but some things really make Luffy feel like a completely different world. A chaotic world. There's everything here, only what you can't think of, nothing you can't see.
It didn't take long to drive, and sure enough, a huge city came into everyone's eyes, and this level of luxury was the most luxurious of all the towns Luffy had ever seen. Huge marinas, thriving shopping streets, the size of the towns, the density of the population, all these data all show that this is one of the most luxurious metropolises in the world, and the windmills that were once just beautiful villages in the corner of the world.
"It's so beautiful, I really want to live in this big city. Nami looked at this prosperous scene and couldn't help but yearn for it. Luffy said, "Every place has its advantages and disadvantages, do you think such a metropolis is good?"
"What's wrong there?" Nami retorted.
"Hehe, then I won't say more. Luffy turned the subject and said, "We don't have much supplies on the ship, only one person stays to watch the ship, just in case, the others enter the town to buy the items they need." ”
"Money again?" roared Nami.
"Don't you still wait for the long hair?" Nami heard Luffy finish speaking, and raised her mouth and said, "How to divide it, who will stay?"
"This time I don't have the back of my hand, I made a tool to draw lots, and I will use this in the future. Saying that, Luffy took out a small jar from the house, and there were more than a dozen small strips in it, revealing exactly the same color, and several people smoked one by one, and Yarrita said, "You have a lot of this, and the rest, what if no one draws it?"
"No, don't worry. Luffy said that he also drew one himself, and after several people finished drawing, they each showed their own lots, one end was the same color to indicate that it was out, and the other end was red to indicate that it was stayed, and there was only one person who was red, and it turned out to be Nami.
"Do you want me to stay as a little girl?" Luffy smiled and said, "Nothing should happen to this metropolis, and besides, there is my pirate flag, don't worry." ”
said that the pirate flag of the road flying, that is, the straw hat pirate flag of the straw hat pirate group, is now a statement far and wide, almost no one does not know, in such a metropolis, it should be even more well-known, but in fact, it is the opposite, because it is very comfortable here, there will be no major events in a hundred years, and no one pays attention to those pirates, and the pirates basically dare not come to such a metropolis to rebel, so Luffy's arrival, no one is in a commotion.
Luffy took a bag of money, called Yarrita and said, "Come with me, let's find out if there's anything you need." ”
The first time Alrita saw Luffy take the initiative to call herself, she was about to jump with joy, this beautiful woman of the age of a wolf and a tiger, after eating the slippery fruit, actually had the leisure to fall in love like a young girl, which really made Luffy admire.
"Where?" asked Arrita.
"I don't know, let's talk as we go. "Sanji and Zoro went to buy ingredients, Usopp and Anilu went to buy gunpowder, Chopper and Robin went to buy medical supplies, and the division of labor between them was clear, and they had to fight quickly, after all, it was not a good thing for pirates to stay here for too long. But who would have thought that even if Luffy was counted to death, he didn't think that the original plot was such a coincidence. In fact, it can't be said to be a coincidence, it can only be said that Frankie has too much eyeliner.
Luffy and Yarrita walked all the way to a place where there was wood everywhere, and many strong men worked here, as if it was a gathering place for carpenters, but in fact it was a shipyard, and it was also the most famous shipbuilding site in the world.
"What does the gentleman need?" asked a man who came over and asked, a man who was peculiar, with a nose as long as Usopp, but much thicker. Luffy replied, "I want to buy some wood to repair and remodel my ship." ”
"Oh, yes, are you going to renovate yourself or do you need your own manpower?"
"I remodeled myself and needed some wood. The tall man thought Luffy would be mistaken, so he said: "Ah, in this way, there is no charge for our people here to help with the transformation, but the wood we have here is better and the price is higher, and when I build the whole ship, the price is higher." Why don't you take us to see your boat, and we'll do it for you. ”
Luffy knew that the craftsmanship of the people here was still quite good, so he scratched his head and said, "It's okay, no problem." Luffy accidentally glanced at the man and saw that he was watching himself distracted, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Then let your people go and see it first. The big man came back to his senses and hurriedly replied, "Okay, Kagu, come with him to see the boat." So the long-nosed man came out and said, "I'll go alone, I don't know which one your ship is?"
"Oh, this is it. Luffy took out a photo, on which was the icon of a pirate flag, as soon as this symbol came out, the big man's face instantly changed color, but he changed back quickly, and no one noticed. And this person, Luffy can think of, is the leader of CP9 among the pirates, Rob Lucci, this long-nosed giraffe is Kagu, Luqi has already called it just now, and the names of the others can't be remembered, but they know that they are all masters of the six styles.
After Kagu left, Luffy said to Arrita, let's find a place to sit for a while, he should be back in a while.
"Okay!" Arrita followed Luffy to the side, and Luffy walked over to a very elegant and noble woman and whispered, "He's here! ”
