Chapter 91: The Capital of Seven Waters
The capital of the seven waters, the island city with the best shipbuilding technology on the entire great shipping route.
Like Venice, the city's prototype, the capital of water, the City of Seven Waters is also an island city built on water.
It is worth mentioning that the waterways here are very complex, almost all over the city, and under the water, there is a huge underwater city sleeping, and the formation of the underwater city is due to the annual huge tsunami here, which is called the 'God of Water' Akula Raganna!
Under the influence of the gods of water, the sea level of the Seven Waters City is getting higher and higher every year, so the residents of this city have to constantly build new houses on top of their original houses, which is the origin of the underwater city.
The mayor of the City of Seven Waters is named Esbagu, who was once the chief disciple of Tom, the world's first shipbuilder, and his shipbuilding technology is the top in the world today, and he is the most important person in the entire City of Seven Waters.
Esbagu is not smiling, but he is honest and kind, good at business, highly skilled, approachable, and at the same time has a great personality in work and life, so he is deeply loved by the citizens.
Even in his high position, he never stopped honing his shipbuilding skills, and he took every ship he handled very seriously and responsibly.
Five years ago, he captivated a group of craftsmen with his genius shipbuilding skills, and merged the seven shipyards in the original capital of seven waters into one, which became the current Carrera Company.
On the river in the City of Seven Waters, Kira travels to the Carrera Shipbuilding Company on a local water vehicle, 'Blue', an ancient monster with a horse on the top and a fish on the bottom, and a famous local food specialty, 'Mizukirou'.
After coming down from the Sky Island, he led everyone straight to the capital of the Seven Waters, intending to buy a ship here.
His goal was to buy a ship that was about the size of a naval warship, or at least enough for hundreds of people in their guild to live freely, but Kira's requirements for the ship itself were not as strict as those of naval warships, and it did not require strong fire support or seabed stone plating on the seabed.
After all, he bought the ship so that everyone in the guild could have adventures at sea together in the future, so it was enough to facilitate life at sea, and as for the bad weather and terrifying sea beasts, they didn't need to care about the sorcerer of Fairy Tail' at all.
The City of the Seven Waters is divided into an inner city and an outer city, which are divided by the dockyard of the Carrera Company.
In the middle of the inner city is a large fountain that collects the water from the city and erupts down the river to form a channel that flows to the outer city through the outlets between the Carrera company's docks, and finally into the sea.
Soon, Kira arrives at Carrera's Dock, and with him Elusa.
The ship was about their next adventure at sea, and Elusa took it very seriously, so she followed, and the rest of them were either sent by Kira to buy food or go shopping in the city.
Due to the existence of sea trains, the City of Seven Waters has formed a close connection with several nearby islands, such as St. Poplar, the "City of Gastronomy", St. Falt, the "City of Gastronomy", St. Falt, and the "Judicial Island", which is connected to the center of the world government, are all necessary routes for sea trains, so there is a lot of trade and cultural exchange between them.
St. Falt is called 'Carnival Street' because of the carnival feast that takes place almost every month, and it is the 'Carnival of Masks' that takes place this month, and under its influence, the City of the Seven Waters has also set off a mask craze.
Along the way, Kira found that more than eighty percent of the residents wore strange masks, and they not only wore masks, but also wore a set of coats to cover themselves tightly, and the sense of mystery was directly filled.
Carrera is the largest shipyard in the City of Seven Waters, and their owner is the mayor of Espagu, and the best dock here, Dock No. 1, has five skilled shipwrights: Barry the 'Rope Man', Rob Luci the 'Pigeon Man', Kagu 'Proboscis 'The Man', and Guy A and Man B, whose names are not important.
"Anyone?? Anyone?? ”
"Take your best boatman here...... No, call your boss out, I'm going to buy a boat!! ”
As soon as he arrived at the dock, Kira immediately put on a high-spirited and proud appearance of the rich second generation, as if he was afraid that others would not know that he was rich.
At this time, his outfit was very gorgeous, inlaid with gold and gold, extremely noble and luxurious, coupled with his already handsome and handsome appearance, which attracted the envy and jealousy of countless men and women along the way.
The originator of the pretending world once said, 'Wealth does not return to the hometown, like brocade clothes at night', this sentence made Kira realize the importance of showing off from an early age - of course, this 'showing off wealth' operation began to be cultivated after he became the magician of the 'Fairy Tail' and the popular magician of the Fiore Kingdom, and until then, he had been a staunch enforcer of Gou Dao.
And Kira is doing this now, in fact, with the intention of fishing law enforcement: "I don't know if I will be targeted by the Frankie family, if I will, I can just eat the black for a wave." ’
The Frankie family is the most notorious gangster organization in the capital of seven waters, robbery, kidnapping, all kinds of evil methods, in the original they snatched 200 million Bailey from Usopp, and beat him badly, and they also targeted the Merry, if it wasn't for Sauron on the ship at the time, I was afraid that the Merry would not escape the fate of being dismembered, but in the end, because of Franky's relationship, they fought side by side with the Straw Hats and successfully cleared their name.
Kira has her eyes on the Frankie family, mainly to see if they can go their way and go to the black market to buy the branch of the treasure tree Adam, but even if it doesn't work out in the end, it doesn't matter, anyway, what Frankie bought is only enough to build a Sonny, and Kira needs a ship the size of a warship!
"What about the boatmen? Don't do business in broad daylight? ”
Just as Kira was about to continue shouting, a voice came out of the dock: "Coming, coming...... Don't be noisy here!! ”
The visitor was dressed in a high-necked boatman's uniform and a simple military cap, but the most striking thing about his body was the long square nose on his face.
"I'm a boatman at Dock 1 Carrera, just call me Kagu!"
Kagu smiled brightly, if it weren't for Kira knowing the plot, he would have found it hard to believe that such a person would be an undercover agent of CP9.
In fact, when he first saw this group of boatmen on TV, he still liked Kagu a lot, especially the first appearance of Yuebu, which was simply handsome, but after a few episodes, it was revealed that they were from the World Government, which directly shocked Kira.
Seeing someone coming, Elusa suddenly whispered, "Hmm...... Sure enough, no matter how many times I watched it, I still felt that the people in this world were very strange! I really can't understand why someone's nose can grow like this? Reading the newspaper before, I also found that there are some people in this world who have big bodies but thin legs, some are six or seven meters tall, and there are people with long hands and feet......"
Hey?? It's rare to hear Elusa say this kind of complaint! Sure enough, they got along for too long, and were they taken by Lucy and Harpy?
Kira was surprised by Elusa's transformation, but he also deeply agreed with her complaints: "Maybe there was something wrong with the genes when they evolved, right?" ”
"Some people speculate that the world experienced a flood apocalypse a long time ago, and now people, sea beasts, and almost all animals are made after the end of the world, and scientists use artificial genetic synthesis to create them, maybe there is a mistake in the synthesis!"
If it is really the end of the flood, it must have something to do with the legendary ancient weapon king 'Ouranos'!
It suddenly occurred to Kira that the gods of the water, who were in turmoil once a year in the capital of the seven waters, might be the after-effects of the apocalypse of the flood, as for why it was the only after-effects here......
If nothing else, it must have something to do with the huge potholes on Justice Island!
Hearing the conversation between Elusa and Kira, Kagu secretly complained in his heart, "What a whimsical guy", but his face was grinning, like an ordinary boatman entertaining guests
"Did the two guests just say to buy a boat? I don't know what the specific requirements are? ”
Kira calmly stepped forward, took out the notes in his arms, and began to explain the requirements he had sorted out in the past few days: "We want to buy a big ship that can accommodate more than 100 people and less than 200 people!" ”
"Because we are not pirates, but adventurers and merchants, all the facilities on the ship should be designed for the convenience of life, such as more rooms, sufficient living facilities, and good air circulation and light ......"
"There must be a kitchen, a dining room, a study, a swimming pool, a large bathroom, a warehouse, a garden, and then a hall that can accommodate everyone's party!"
"The armed forces don't need too much, but the operation of the ship must be convenient, and it is best to have an automatic transmission that can be opened by people who don't know anything about navigation technology, as long as the ship turns the rudder, it can automatically drive forward!"
"Of course, the most important thing is durability, to have the slightest defense that can not be damaged even if a cannon hits, and the wood can be used with the best ...... Belch!! ”
At this, Kira's voice stopped abruptly.
He suddenly thought of the destructive power of the guild's group of guys, and couldn't help but hesitate for a while: if this ship used not so durable wood, it would definitely be broken by them in a few days, but if you buy a durable one, the cost is more expensive and not to mention, can it guarantee that it will not be broken?
"According to my description, you estimate how much it will cost to use different grades of wood!"
Kagu reached out and took the note from Kira's hand, then stared at the content on the note for a long time and was silent for a long time, and when he looked up at Kira again, his gaze had become strange, because he found that the content on the note was not only very sloppy, but even the content was messy, basically thinking of what to write, and there was no overall plan at all, just like a child's mouth, 'I will order so much first, and I will add it later if I need to'.
Such a person can also be a captain?? What an eye-opener today!
"What's wrong, Kagu? Is the guest's request troublesome? ”
While he was thinking, another middle-aged uncle walked out of the big iron gate of the No. 1 dock, combing his adult-like back, keeping stubble, and holding a cigarette in his mouth.
Appeared, 'Rope Man' Barry!
Kira's eyes lit up, he had been longing for Barry's amazing 'rope manipulation' for a long time, and if he could, he really wanted to learn the binding technique from him, and maybe it could come in handy at some point in the future.
