"It's really strange, Sister Nuoqi and that Mr. Iceberg, it feels like they have something to discuss......

It's still the tavern, it's still the table. Sanji stroked his chin and groaned, looking like a detective was thinking about reasoning - if only he ignored the red slap marks on his face that Nami had just left because of his madness.

"Are they going to talk about inviting us to dinner?"

Luffy said with a vague expression as he kept stuffing the cake into his mouth.

"Stupid! Can't you have anything else on your mind besides eating? ”

Nami gripped helplessly, holding her forehead.

"Again, we should be talking about serious things."

When Nami said this, Luffy simply swallowed all the cakes for the remaining three in one bite, and then put on a serious posture as if he had reflected.

But his appearance made the other three both puzzled and felt bad.

"Hee-hee, we already have four crew members, and today is the first time everyone has gathered, of course there is a banquet! The first banquet before sailing!

”

"Idiot!

”x3

Bite!

Winter!

Boom!

- Obviously changed from a rubber boy to a dark boy, but Luffy's idiot aura infection ability has not diminished at all. Nami, Sanji, and Frankie, who are not familiar with them at all, all naturally enter the role of the crew of the Straw Hats at this time, and they have a tacit understanding to fulfill the duty of teaching the unreliable captain with an iron fist.

And Luffy's dark fruit makes his pain perception ability much more sensitive than ordinary people......

"Alright, leave this fool alone,"

Sanji completely ignored Luffy, who was stunned on the side, and reopened the formal topic, after taking a serious look at Frankie:

"The first thing I need to do is make sure that the panties are ...... Oh no, Frankie! You must have said yes, right? Luffy's previous invitation? ”

"Of course,"

Frankie and Sanji looked at each other straight, and made a statement without hesitation, and the corners of his mouth opened slightly: "Build the strongest ship with your own hands, and then sail it on the sea as a shipwright, through storms, and conquer huge waves...... This kid's proposal, Uncle Ben likes it very much! ”

“…… That's right,"

Sanji carefully analyzed the feelings expressed by Frankie, and then nodded slightly in approval, but then changed the conversation: "But I'm curious, don't you think there is a lot of wrong?" For example, Luffy and we, who are obviously naval soldiers, why did they leave the Navy Headquarters and choose to go to sea...... That's an unusual thing, isn't it? ”

“……”

Nami didn't say anything, but she also turned her inquiring gaze to Frankie.

The latter just folded his hands with a big grin, and then shrugged his shoulders slightly:

"You should know that my master, Tom the Fishman, is the chief designer of the Sea Train Project, and he is also the world's number one shipwright in the eyes of many people."

"But what many people don't know is that Master Tom was once almost a criminal, no, I should say that he has been recognized as a criminal by the World Government - the reason is that the Auro Jackson, the treasure ship that conquered the Great Voyage, was built for One Piece Roger."

"At that time, in the face of the judicial ship and the judge of the world government who tried his life, Master Tom made it very clear that he did not regret that he could build such a great ship, and he was very proud as a shipwright!"

Although it was only a few words from Frankie, Nami and Sanji at this time couldn't help but be in awe of that Master Tom, and even Luffy, who loved to play treasure, listened carefully to Frankie's words.

After a slight pause, Frankie spoke again:

"So, my point of view is the same as that of Master Tom, I don't care who you are, I don't care what you are for, I just need to find out if you are worthy of the ship I have built...... I join you both as a shipwright and as an overseer. ”

"If I find that what you are doing is not worthy of my ship, then I will take my own measures!"

Frankie's remarks felt a bit "outsider", not like a partner on the same ship that he was about to become. But it is this attitude that makes Nami and Sanji very relieved.

"Hmph~ You are welcome to supervise!"

"You're welcome to join us!"

"Hee-hee, that's ......"

"Shut up, Luffy!" x3

——The captain who had just recovered was once again tacitly dismissed by the crew.

"Now that Franky has confirmed the addition of your shipwright, Frankie, let's talk a little bit about our ship,"

Sanji clasped the table with his hand, "...... as a chef"

"Wait a minute, Sanji-sama!"

Frankie directly stretched out his hand to interrupt the kitchen concept and food storage room design that Sanji was about to say, and said helplessly: "It's not too late for us to communicate about the specific ship design later, what I need to know now is your budget funds." ”

"Fifty thousand Baileys."

Nami answered very naturally.

"Oh? 50,000 ...... Fifty thousand Bailey?! Burst! ”

Frankie, who was about to take a sip of coffee, didn't hold back directly, and a sip of coffee spewed out, but fortunately, Yamaji, who was sitting opposite him, was quick and blocked all the unlucky child Luffy.

Seeing this, Frankie didn't say anything, didn't prepare to apologize, got up and was about to leave.

"Hey, what are you doing, Frankie!"

"Please! A budget of 50,000 Bailey?! ”

Frankie's hand holding the table trembled slightly, "Even if I can build a boat, I suggest you buy swimming rings and life jackets directly, so that it is more cost-effective to go to sea!" ”

"What happened to Fifty Thousand Bailey? Fifty thousand Baileys is a serious calculation of me! ”

Nami looked angry, "All the materials, including wood, don't need money, and the items inside the ship are all the things, the only thing you need is ......"

"Wait, what do you mean by that? All materials and internal items without money? ”

"Literally,"

Sanji suddenly understood the pleasure of the Navy Moth Polusalino signing an order every time he signed in the name of the Marshal of the Warring States, and said lightly, "Nami is the second-class quartermaster of Marin Fando and is about to take office. ”

“……”

Frankie's jaw dropped on the table, and he looked at Nami a little hairy with an incredulous look, and then in an instant this look became fanatical, and he himself directly folded his hands, eager to bow to the ground:

"Miss Nami, no, the super Nami goddess! Since you're Marinfando's second-class quartermaster, you'll be able to get those super rare materials, right?! Wabo alloy or something! It's a treasure that all shipwrights dream of!

”

"By the way, what do you like? I can...... Oh, I remember I still had super panties that I hadn't washed in days......"

"Perverted!

”

"Hey! Perverted! Stay away from Miss Nami! Don't harass her!

”

"Hee-hee, everyone's atmosphere is so good~ Banquet!

”

……

Compared to Luffy's noisy and comedic atmosphere on their side, Nokigao and Iceberg, who talked in a different place, naturally felt completely different.

"Nami's biggest problem is her weak will to fight, and when she encounters a strong enemy, her first reaction is to run away rather than fight back......"

"Frankie's fighting style is very limited, and he lacks the ability to confront powerful enemies head-on......"

"Nami needs a desperate fight, Mr. Iceberg, if you can, I want you to make a move when the time comes......"

"Frankie also needs a battle experience to broaden his mind, and I want to trouble Miss Nokigaard......"

"It's not easy for you, Mr. Iceberg, you need to think so much about your junior brother."

"Everywhere, it is said that the eldest sister is like a mother, Miss Nuo Qigao, you also worry a lot about your sister."

Just as the other side inexplicably reached a tacit agreement to bully the captain and the next one, Nuoqigao and the iceberg have also reached a tacit understanding of the "senior group" to educate and improve young people in the future.

And as an older group, their aura in all aspects is not comparable to that of the "Playing Family Group", such as:

"By the way, Miss Nokigao, I remember that in that list, you were the one who managed our money, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Iceberg...... Oh, you're trying to understand the ship-building budget, right? ”

"That's right, once the initial budget is settled, I, the shipwright, can make a rough idea and communicate with my companions. Then wait for the adult's notice and start work at any time. ”

"I understand, that lord gave the upfront budget of 500 million Bailey first, and I will transfer the money to you as soon as possible, Mr. Iceberg."

"An upfront budget of 500 million Baileys? This really gave me the most confidence......"

……

At the same time, in the royal palace of Alabastan.

The maids and cooks were chatting together.

"Anyway, when I went out to buy just now, I heard a big news!"

After a maid casually mentioned this matter, the other maids next to her quickly picked up the conversation: "Are you referring to the fact that Lord Weiwei received a love letter?" ”

"Huh——?! Mistress Vivi received a love letter?! ”

"That's right, it's that very famous young man Kosha, in front of many people, and even King Kobra, who directly stuffed it to His Highness Vivi!"

"Ahh——!h

The atrium resounded with gossip screams, and the girls always got happier the more they talked.

But at this moment, the heroine of their mouths of good-natured gossip, Princess Vivi, came back, carried her long skirt through the atrium, and rushed to her room very eagerly.

"Princess Vivi!"

"Hello!"

Faced with the greetings of the maid and the cook, Vivi hurriedly responded, and her rush was naturally understood as wanting to read the love letter early and reply.

And yet—

When she returned to her room, the first thing Vivi did was lock the door, then closed the window and closed the curtains.

Then she sat down at the table and cautiously opened the letter made of papyrus.

"Don't go to Mary Joy! Dangerous! ”

……

In order to gain the power to obtain Whitebeard's head and even suppress the world, the sand crocodile Klockdahl has his eyes on the legendary ancient weapon. According to the information he has gathered from various sources, he believes that the ancient weapon "Hades" is located in the "Kingdom of Sand", which is kept by the royal family of Neferutali.

Therefore, by virtue of his status as the legal One Piece under the Seven Martial Seas, he has been active in Alabastan in various ways and has become a kingdom hero in the eyes of the people.

But in reality, he formed and secretly manipulated the Baroque workshop, a criminal association, to gather power and prepare to steal the country and the "Hades".

The vast Baroque studio needed all kinds of talent, especially those who could contribute to Klockdahl's great cause.

Therefore, it was logical for him to set his sights on the representative of the young people of Alabastan, the leader of the Sand Regiment, Kosha.

Due to the influence of Polusalino's travel, Princess Vivi of Alabastan went to the Naval Magnetic Drum Medical District to study medicine since she was a child, and did not stay in her own country for long. Therefore, Kosha and Vivi did become playmates when they were children, and they also communicated a little when they grew up, but they did not have as deep a friendship as in the original plot of the Pirates.

Kosha was more likely to interact with other talented young people in Alabastan, and as the leader of the Sand Bands, he was very influential among the young people and many of the inhabitants of Alabastan.

It's just that Kosha, who has this influence, and his fellow Sand Bands, are not careerists. They got together just to better build the Alabastan they loved - the construction of public facilities, the voices of the people at the bottom, the voluntary pirate fight, Kosha and they did a lot of things.

Seeing this, the scheming Klockdahl conveniently used Kosha's patriotism and approached them with various visions of painting cakes - I have to say that the image of the kingdom hero he has disguised over the years is indeed very useful.

And in order to further let Kosha and the others serve him, Klockdahl gave a "true" information he got very sincerely - "Someone intends to attack the royal family of Alabastan, and the primary target is the princess Vivi ...... who is about to go to Mary Joa."

Although Kosha was very nervous about this information, he was also skeptical, and there was no tangible evidence, so he did not react to the royal family of Neferutali.

However, before he could further verify and look for clues, he learned that Vivi was going to Mary Joy as an outstanding representative of the Naval Medical Academy......

In desperation, Kosha could only choose the fastest and most direct way to deliver the warning letter in person - the palace received many letters and phone calls every day, and he didn't dare to gamble and couldn't wait.

But neither Kosha nor Klockdahl himself knew that this information was actually from the Navy, or more accurately, from the Naval Fool Team under the command of Polusalino.

After all, King Kobra and his pregnant wife went to Maryjoya for the World Conference together, and Vivi was born early during the voyage, and Polusalino was a great help (referring to bringing the doctor Dr. Gureva with him).

Although they haven't had much contact over the years, Alabastan and Vivi are covered by Polusalino! He's still Vivi's titular godfather!

So he put such a secret nail on Lao Sha, and by the way, he asked Lei Jiu to send Weiwei an invitation to get on the boat, and by the way, he helped General Zefa to assess and exercise the sugar ......
