Paradise Climb Chapter 43 The Tavernkeeper's Son
Craftsman Island, deep in the forest, after his companions left, Lu Gui began to seriously examine his body.
Through the healing of the imprint energy, there is no trace of light and dark wounds on his body, although he has not completely transformed his body like the previous rebirth.
But Lu Gui clenched his fists, and he could clearly feel that his strength was three points stronger than before.
Now, with his strange power, he can easily defeat himself who didn't use the fruit ability before.
This made him can't help but look at the turtle mark on his left wrist again, the outline line that has faded into oblivion.
Several times to let yourself be reborn and reborn, what is the origin of such a powerful jade pendant? Does it have anything to do with the world of pirates?
Otherwise, why could he travel here and it faintly controlled the ability of his pupil fruit.
This was something that Lu Gui had noticed in a half-conscious manner before, and the green energy not only healed his body, but also partially integrated into his eyes.
It is the tendency of it to transform, the fruit to copy other abilities. It's not to change to the bad side, but it seems to have planned a route for continuous improvement of ability.
Lu Gui hadn't been able to fully understand this change, and he couldn't figure out what help the imprint could bring him in the end.
For now, he can only continue to walk ahead, and maybe one day in the future, he will be able to solve all the confusion in his heart.
After thinking about this, Lu Gui began to interrupt training for a few days to get used to this newly increased strength.
By the time it was nearly noon, Buck and the others had returned to the forest.
"Captain, I've seen the three largest timber firms in town, and their best timber comes from a kind of adamantium wood.
This wood is made of hard, and the sea vessels used to build them will be as strong as steel without being bulky.
Many of the Navy's warships are made of this kind of wood.
However, the price is very expensive, second only to the legendary treasure tree Adam. If we were to build a ship from this wood, it would cost close to 150 million Baileys.
Do we have enough money now? ”
Buck ran more than these three firms back and forth, compared and referenced back and forth, and came to the current conclusion.
"You don't have to worry about money, since it comes to Treasure Tree Adam, as a shipbuilding city second only to the capital of seven waters, is there any news about it."
Lu Gui wanted to build a perfect pirate ship, so he naturally had ideas about the shipbuilding materials that ranked first in the world.
"I also asked by the way, but it's a pity that two weeks ago, a batch of Adam's materials for the treasure tree was bought by a mysterious person, and the next time there is news of Adam's sale, it will be a month later."
"That's a pity, I can only choose to use diamond wood."
Lu Gui sighed, they couldn't wait for a month, and the idea of using Adam wood to build a ship could only be abandoned temporarily.
"Annie, what did you find over there?"
"There are two of the most powerful shipcasters on the whole island, and the interesting thing is that the identities of these two people are very different."
Anne said, handing Lu Gui a document.
"Lu Wensi. Glenn, male, 51 years old, is currently the mayor of the craftsman city, the vice president of the World Shipbuilding Association, and a special lecturer of the Naval Headquarters Academy.
He designed countless ships throughout his life, and took over as mayor at the age of 45, and never built a ship with his own hands since. ”
Seeing this, Lu Gui nodded, as the vice president of the World Shipbuilding Association, there is no doubt about the technology of shipbuilding.
But with such a high status, it was too difficult for Lu Gui to let him help. So he went down and looked at the other man.
"Al. Joe, male, 30 years old, came to Artisan Island to study seven years ago, and later stood out and became the apprentice of Mayor Glenn.
For unknown reasons, the relationship with the master is stiff, and now he lives in an abandoned shipyard in the south of the city. ”
Looking at the photos attached to the information, Lu Gui frowned, he always felt that this person was very familiar, and he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while.
Seeing Lu Gui looking at Al. Joe's picture was in a daze, and Belle shook her hand in front of his eyes.
"What's the matter, you still don't know this person, didn't you say that you haven't left the West Sea?"
West! Lu Gui's eyes lit up, and he remembered that he had indeed seen this Joe, and it was before he formed the Pirate Group.
On the island he had just crossed, in the tavern where he worked. On one wall hung a picture of Jo, with Hans, the tavernkeeper.
When he first went to sea, he also asked Hans's boss where his son was, and if he would like to give him a message when he met him in the future.
I didn't expect it to be a word, but now, I really let him meet it.
"Can you find out what caused Joe to have a stiff relationship with his master?"
"You really know him, who is this person, so powerful, an outsider is better than all his peers on the island."
Belle asked curiously, and Buck had the same doubts.
"I didn't know him, but I worked in his father's tavern before I went to sea, and he had been away from the West Sea for a long time."
"Then this is too coincidental, you guys are also a reunion of fellow villagers, and he will definitely be embarrassed to raise the price of shipbuilding at that time."
"You can see far ahead, whether people are willing to help or not, after all, I only know him unilaterally.
I was just a stranger to him. ”
"Lu Gui is right, I heard that this Joe has a strange personality, and he has not had any friends on the island for so long.
Knowing his father's affection may not be useful.
As for her and Glenn's falling out, it can be investigated, but it will take time. ”
Anne agrees with Lu Gui's statement, but she thinks she can still try to get it.
So he looked at Lu Gui and continued:
"Why don't we go to that scrap shipyard, Mayor Glenn is not easy to see, and it is much easier to see him as a down-and-out apprentice.
Maybe you can ask the reason for his current situation. ”
"That's what I mean, now that noon is here, and after dinner, you and Buck should go with me."
"What about us?"
Belle asked.
"You don't have to go over, you and Mark are waiting here.
By the way, have all the supplies for going to sea been booked? ”
"That's not just hand-to-hand, the deposit has already been paid. You'd better have to hurry up and find a way to get some money, otherwise you won't even have enough money for shipbuilding. ”
"Got it, go cook, I don't eat what you made for a few days, and I always feel like there's something missing in my mouth."
Lu Gui waved his hand indifferently, urging Bei Lu to hurry up and cook.
"Hmph, count you as talking."
Belle snorted with a smile and went to prepare the ingredients for cooking.
Lu Gui then asked Buck if they had found anyone from the Fire Feather Organization.
"Maybe it's because Mayor Glenn is in constant contact with the Navy Headquarters, and the Fire Feather Organization doesn't have an obvious stronghold here like Huludao and Nanshan Island.
Before, because the captain hadn't woken up yet, we didn't investigate in detail. ”
"Forget it, they've been operating in this area for so long, and it's very difficult for us to find their tracks in a short period of time.
So be it, let's do our own thing and ignore them.
It's not far from Abalakr either, where there is their base camp, where all grievances are settled at once. ”
After saying this, the few people chatted for a while, and Belle's lunch was ready.
……
And just when the Clover Pirates appeared openly on the island, the Fire Feather intelligence officers who had been dormant here discovered them for the first time.
The mood was so excited, I almost stepped forward to shake hands and thank Buck for them.
Because Lu Gui and his entourage did not enter the Craftsman Island within the time they predicted, and it seemed to have disappeared, they all thought that they had lost their target.
There was a strict order from above, and if they still couldn't find the Clover Pirates in two days, then they didn't have to go back to the organization, and they could cut themselves on the spot.
Fortunately, the target still appeared, although I don't know when they landed on the island and where they went, but as long as no one was lost, their mission can be explained.
And on the west coast of the Abarakr Kingdom, the warship carried by Admiral Tina arrived here at this moment.
Standing on the flat stone slab of the port, Tina stretched her waist, and her graceful curves attracted the peeping eyes of many pedestrians on the road.
After learning about their route by land, and borrowing the permanent pointer to Abarakir, Tina did not stop all the way, and finally arrived here within the scheduled time.
"Tina, that Lu Gui won't be faster than us, he's already out of here."
The man who spoke was a fat Navy named Larry, one of the two helpers Tina had hired.
The other, Ugo, was a tall, stout man beside Larry, and pouted disdainfully at this.
"No, Tina has been in contact with the naval informants on this route, and just a week ago word came out that the Clover Pirates were not far from Nanshan Island.
With the speed of their pirate ship, it's impossible to get ahead of us, so it's just the right time for us to block him here. ”
Tina said confidently, but not as easily as she appeared.
Because of Lu Gui's battle on Hulu Island, she already knew about it.
Being able to defeat the pirates with a bounty of 130 million Bailey shows that Lu Gui saved a lot of combat power when he fought with her.
It is also possible that the opponent's strength has been greatly improved in this extremely short period of time.
Either way, it made Tina feel pressured. Coupled with the alumni Larry and Ugo who he invited over, can he really catch each other?
At this time, Tina didn't know that the yellow ape had already met Lu Gui, and she didn't know that Lu Gui was injured and almost died.
"Alright, it's all here, just listen to Tiny Tina.
Let's go to the naval garrison in this kingdom first, and repair it, I'm almost tired from taking a boat during this time. ”
Ugo on the side pushed Larry and said impatiently.
"What do you stupid big man know, I'm reminding Tina so that we don't have to work in vain."
Larry stumbled and almost rolled away with a rounded look, and said angrily.
"Don't quarrel with the two seniors, Tina is also tired, let's go to the naval station first."
Tina looked at the two of them about to make a move, and said helplessly.
If the other alumni had time, Tina really didn't want to bring the two of you together!
