Chapter 89: Merry: Listen to me, thank you......
At the banquet, Nami went to Kira alone and tried to exchange her beauty for money, only to see her hands 'snap' together and start to be coquettish, and her body was closer to Kira.
"Please, just share a little with us, okay?"
I declare that this Nami is the NPC that best matches the image of the original game that I have seen so far!
But......
Use beauty tricks in front of me? Are you kidding?! Am I the kind of person who will be recruited?
Kira the 'Sage' has a good reputation for not being messy, valuing wealth over lust, but everyone in the entire Fiore Kingdom knows it, how could it be planted on you, a yellow-haired girl?
If it was Nami in two years, it would be fine, and now ...... Hehe!
"You don't have to be delusional about gold, but I can help you fix the ship!"
"Huh?!"
"If I'm not mistaken, your ship is about to fall apart, right? As a navigator, you should know how strange the climate of the Great Voyage is, and how dangerous it is for such a ship to continue to sail the seas! ”
Kira's words silenced Nami instantly.
In fact, her main purpose for asking for gold is to sell money to repair the Golden Merry, otherwise she wouldn't have found him knowing that the Golden Township had been taken away by Kira, she had already done it, and she was really prepared to take advantage of Kira - of course, it was limited to Lala's small hands touching wine and the like - I didn't expect Kira not only not to be hit, but also to see her true purpose at a glance......
Is this the one who can defeat Klockdahl and save Alabastan? What a keen eye!
"Really? Thank you so much! Big Brother Kira! Nami excitedly drained the drink in her hand, then took Kira in her arms.
No...... I should say thank you!!
Nami's movement was very loud, and the moment the two hugged each other attracted the attention of several people around them.
"Damn!! That red-haired bastard was so unscrupulous in Nami-san's arms?!! Sanji on the side suddenly went crazy with envy, and the boiling flames burned from the soles of his feet almost to the top of his head.
"That's amazing, Sanji! Can you even burn it? Natsu leaned over at some point, looking at the flames on Sanji's body.
"yes, my anger at that guy is out of control!!"
Nami just let Kira taste the sweetness and let go, a hug that was both a reward for Kira's maintenance of the Merry and a thank you for clearing the village of Cocosia from the scourge of Aron.
"Everyone, Brother Kira has promised us to repair the Merry~"
Hearing Nami's voice, Luffy and the others were stunned: "Repair the Merry?!" ”
"That's right! The Merry had been with us for so long, it had already become tattered, and I had planned to do a rectification of it after I got the gold, but ......"
Sanji immediately understood: "But now we are one step late, the gold has not arrived, and there is no cost to repair." ”
"That's right, that's it!"
Nami smiled slyly and patted Kira on the shoulder, "Fortunately, now Brother Kira is willing to help us repair the Merry, saving us this expense!" ”
"That's ...... so"
Before Sanji finished speaking, Usopp, Luffy, and Chopper pounced on Kira at the same time, crying: "Woo woo woo!" You're such a nice guy! Thank you so much!! ”
"Hahaha you're welcome, there will definitely be a chance for you to repay me in the future!"
Several people made a lot of noise, and finally Zoro asked: "But, since they said that they want to help us repair the Merry, what exactly do we do?" Are you a shipwright?? ”
Zoro knew that Kira's repair must not be directly paid to ask Merry to go to the shipyard for a full body repair, otherwise he would not have taken all the gold, so the only explanation was that he had the skills to repair ships.
"I'm not a shipwright, but using magic can restore the subject to its original form."
"That's amazing! The magic is amazing!! ”
The admiring eyes of the three Choppers made Kira extremely useful.
"Use magic to restore the ship to its original appearance? Is it really possible to do such a thing? It's not scientific at all......"
Kira's whole person was shocked: What? What did I just hear?? You guys from the Pirate World are actually telling me about science??
"It's said that this is magic, of course it's not scientific!"
Taking advantage of the good wine in the night, several people formed a group to come to the place where the Merry was moored.
"It's really badly damaged! Have you ever thought about getting another one? ”
After Kira asked, Luffy and his party were stunned, could it be that the Merry was so damaged that even the magic couldn't be repaired? No way! When pigs fly!!
"How is that kind of thing possible?! Melly is our partner!! ”
Before Luffy could speak, Usopp was the first to stand up, looking at Kira with a dissatisfied, "Is the magic you said really that effective?" ”
"Usopp ......"
"Ah, I'm sorry! My attitude is a little excited, it's just about Merry, I have to be cautious! ”
Realizing that his tone was too excited, Usopp hurriedly apologized, for fear that Kira would be unhappy and not help, and he would not have the money to go to the shipyard to repair the Merry.
"It's okay, human nature!"
Kira waved her hand and didn't care, "The magic must be effective, but there are so many of you, you don't even have a room for one person, don't you feel too crowded?" Six people, at least one bedroom per person, right? With the addition of kitchen, warehouse, bathroom, and meeting room, ten rooms is the minimum requirement! ”
"Take a good look, it's only been a few months since this Merry sailed from the East China Sea, and it's not even half of the first half of the great voyage, and it's already turned into this kind of almost falling apart, and how do you deal with the next more dangerous and worse sea routes? Will the Merry be able to survive when you find the Great Treasure? ”
"Why don't I wait until I arrive in Qinghai, how about I borrow your hundreds of millions of Bailey to buy a new ship? How about going to the capital of the seven seas and asking the best shipwright to build you one with the best wood and the branches of the treasure tree Adam? ”
"You can change the Merry to the No. 2 ship, and that won't be abandoning your partner. Don't worry, I won't charge you interest, and you can even wait until you find the big secret treasure to pay back! ”
Kira suddenly felt like a demon, first depicting an arrogant and lascivious life to tempt the group of poor ghosts in front of her, and then through her incorruptible tongue, using an evil tone, presenting facts and reasoning, spreading out the bloody cruel reality in front of them.
The main reason for doing this is to set a wake-up call in the hearts of Luffy and the others, so that they can prepare early, so that one day Merry really suddenly falls apart on the sea, and then they will have no place to cry.
"No, I won't abandon my partner!!"
Luffy's answer was sonorous and powerful, and he didn't hesitate in the face of Kira's suggestion, and he still had a confident smile on his face when he refused, "And so many adventures Merry has survived, and I also believe that it can take us on the course in the future!" ”
"Besides, didn't you say you could restore the ship to its original performance? I believe you! ”
Hearing Luffy's words, Zoro and the others also showed relieved smiles.
Sure enough, it's Luffy's character......
Although Luffy has a tendon, he has always been very clear about major matters, and the current situation of the Merry is not as desperate as in the original work, and he, as the captain, naturally will not choose to give up treatment.
"Really? Then I'll wish you all the best! ”
Kira chuckled and looked at the Merry, and with his magical perception, he saw something that no one else could see, it was a dwarf in a raincoat with a wooden hammer in his hand, and he couldn't see his face clearly.
The ship elves are undoubtedly souls.
In the setting of the One Piece world, those ships that are valued by the pirates will give birth to ship spirits, who have a very uniform image, and will occasionally appear in the storm to guide the crew, or control the ship across the storm, but few people have seen it with their own eyes, and basically only exist in legends.
Kira remembers that some bigwigs speculated that ships could only give birth to ship spirits because the wood used to build ships was born from some special trees, such as Adam and Eve, and those trees gave birth to spirits because they were given souls by soul fruits.
But in his own opinion, Oda probably won't use this kind of setting, because then it won't be 'romantic' enough, and it will make the whole setting too realistic, too scientific, and too logical.
And as we all know, the world of pirates should be a world full of dreams!
Before Sky Island, Oda borrowed a narration to say the phrase 'everything that humans fantasize about will become true', and this phrase was said by an adventurer in the past, which means that although this sentence is outrageous and unfounded, it works in the world of pirates, can be cited, and can even be regarded as truth.
Kira took a closer look at Merry from a magical perspective.
In the field of vision, the white dwarf was leaning against the side of the boat, and although he couldn't see his face clearly, Kira thought it was smiling and greeting her......
Wait a minute!
Something seems to be wrong??
Is that a greeting? Why does the posture of the hammer look like it is about to hit someone?
