"Sorry, I can't agree to help you build a ship." The 45-year-old shipyard director at the Malago Shipyard shook his head regretfully and rejected Yuyouzi's request to buy a ship.
"It's just a small cruise ship that can meet the needs of long voyages. Isn't it difficult for you?" Youyuko asked doubtfully.
This shipyard is called [East China Sea Ocean] and undertakes the manufacturing and repair of various voyage ships.
According to the scale of this shipyard, this kind of small boat can basically be built casually. After all, ship materials and blueprints for this kind of small boat are all over the street.
"It's not that I don't want to take orders, but the workers in the shipyard are not coming to work now because of the ghost incident. Today, three orders have been canceled because they can't continue to build ships." The boss said with a sad look on his face and let out a long sigh. The tone is "I'm worried to death! What if someone can solve this problem and I'll build a ship at a discount."
"Oh~ Boss, you said so." Youyouzi chuckled. "Don't default on your debt then."
The boss didn't care. "To tell you the truth, you are not the first person to want this reward from me. Several pirate hunters have come before, but without exception they all gave up in the end. It's not me." I don’t believe you, but if there was really a way, I wouldn’t bleed like this to solve this problem.”
"They are them, and we are us." Mina retorted, "There must be nothing wrong with Yuyuko's words."
The boss was slightly startled, and took a deep look at Yuyuko. He found that Yuyuko and Mina were different from the pirate hunters who came before. However, the boss couldn't tell exactly where they were, but judging from the two people's confident appearance, The next boss nodded slightly, "In that case, come back tonight. I hope you can solve this matter."
…
Yuyuko and Mina came as promised at night. In order to have enough energy at night, the two went to a hotel to sleep in the afternoon.
There was a lot less noise in the dock late at night. Apart from the sound of the waves, there was only the sound of the wind hitting the leaves in the woods, but it was not as terrifying as imagined.
In contrast, the night when there is no sound other than the chirping of insects on the Amazon lily is even more terrifying.
"Yuyuko, why do I feel a little scared~" Mina shrank from Yuyuko and looked around timidly.
Youyouzi:......
Take back the preface...
"Don't worry, it's okay. The ghost or something can only be caused by fruit ability users." Youyouzi said with courage.
"Then why are your arms shaking, Yuyuko?"
"How is that possible!" Yuyuko suppressed the shaking of her arms and said calmly, "I'm just a devil fruit user."
Mina glanced at Yuyuko suspiciously, but the night and the height difference made it impossible for Mina to see Yuyuko's expression clearly.
"Oh~ I didn't expect you to have some knowledge, little girl~" A voice sounded from behind the two of them.
"Ah! Ghost! (ｷ｀ﾟДﾟ´)!!" Mina quickly hid behind Yuyuko.
shivering
"Ouch! o(；>△Д<)o゜"
"Don't get excited, that's the boss during the day."
"Hey~! (꒪⌓꒪)" o(*////▽////*)q
Boss: (￣ー￣)
“Don’t call me boss, I have a name.
Chuan Liu, you can call me Liu Lao.
I originally thought that you might be the same as the previous pirate hunters, but since you know that this must be someone with devil fruit abilities, I have a little more confidence in you. "
As he said this, Liu Lao walked around the two of them and walked towards the shipyard with a lamp in hand.
"That Liu Lao~"
Liu Lao turned around and said, "What's going on?"
"Can you light the lamp?" Youyouzi said weakly. "And you don't make any sound when you walk. It's scary."
Liu Lao:......
Liu Lao held an oil lamp in his hand, but he did not light it. At the same time, Liu Lao walked without making any sound. If Yuyouzi hadn't turned on the domineering spirit after arriving at the dock, she would have been like Mina. Startled.
"Sorry, sorry, I'm used to being alone." Liu Lao smiled awkwardly and lit the oil lamp, and the dim light illuminated a small circle of space. "I'm used to patrolling, so if there are no special circumstances, I will There’s no need to light a lamp. It didn’t scare you, did it?”
Of course I was scared! Youyouzi cursed. There was still a friendly smile on his face, "Of course not, haha~"
"Really? It seems that I still scared you. I'm sorry, I was negligent."
"it's okay no problem."
The two of them and Lao Liu talked politely and then moved on.
It's not quiet in the shipyard late at night. Some old wooden boards always make a squeaking sound when blown by the wind.
The sound of the three people's footsteps echoed in the vast space of the shipyard, making people's hearts lift.
Regardless of whether there are ghosts or not, the weird atmosphere alone makes people feel butterflies in their stomachs.
However, Yuyuko couldn't show fear. Behind her was Mina, whose feet were already trembling.
You can't be cowardly even if you want to be cowardly...
I guess this is the mentality of a pig boy who watches ghost movies with his girlfriend.
Suddenly Youyouzi stopped and looked at a corner with doubtful eyes.
"What's wrong?"
Yuyuko's sudden stop made Mina tremble all over. "It's not like a ghost is coming."
Youyouzi didn't reply but stared at the corner for a while before shaking her head. "There's no such thing as a ghost. I've already told you that it can only be a Devil Fruit user."
Of course, although Yuyouzi said so, she was not completely sure in her heart.
The world of One Piece was drawn by Oda, a man who could only draw comics, so many settings were abandoned in the entire comic plot. And this turning point is in the Capital of Seven Waters chapter.
Among them, the setting of power value and ship spirit was not mentioned at all in subsequent comics, and was directly thrown into the trash can.
And the setting of Ship Spirit is even more like this.
It is precisely because of this that the final outcome of the Meili made countless people feel sad.
However, this is the real One Piece world. In the real One Piece world, there is no such thing as setting abandonment.
Then the ship spirit may be real.
in other words,
ghost
It exists.
But what was that feeling just now?
"Little girls, don't be too suspicious. Don't scare yourself and scare yourself when nothing happens." Liu Lao laughed. He was already accustomed to this kind of reaction from people who came to the shipyard at night for the first time.
Especially in the context of the shipyard being haunted, it is inevitable to be suspicious. This is normal.
"Well, let me tell you a story. This is a comic story that has been spread widely in Beihai."
"Navy hero Sora and the battle manga of Masked Kingdom 66."
Following the story of the six elders, Mina and Yuyuko were gradually attracted by the story. The tension has also eased.
…
"It was so dangerous, I almost thought I was discovered.~" Yanan exhaled slowly and relaxed.
But next to her, Ya Lei still watched the three people walking away in silence.
Unlike before, she really felt like she had been discovered just now.
Although the Hide and Seek Fruit allows her and the people she comes into contact to hide in some seemingly impossible places and greatly reduces the sense of presence, it is not invincible.
The weakness of the peek-a-boo fruit is that as long as she is affected by a non-power and someone touches her body, that person will be immune to the influence of her fruit's ability for a period of time.
This is not impossible, because the reduction of their presence does not mean their disappearance, and people will not deliberately avoid them.
As long as you come into contact with them unconsciously, you will discover them instantly.
(Some people have commented before that [there are no useless fruit abilities, only useless fruit ability users]. This is a poisonous chicken soup. In fact, it is not unreasonable, but I am not referring to combat ability but comprehensive ability. If it is just in terms of serving combat Many fruit abilities are indeed weak, but can you say that the childlike fruit is weak and the inspiration fruit is weak?
I was actually thinking about this when I was imagining the changing fruit and the current peek-a-boo fruit. Fruit abilities do not necessarily serve combat, multi-faceted thinking is the future. )
"I think that person should have discovered us just now." Ya Lei said uncertainly.
"She looked at us for a long time just now. Apparently she has noticed something. How about we wait a few more days and come back."
Yanan was unwilling, "No way, sister, how could you be discovered? We have perfected the 'New Ark' under the eyes of the navy, they will not discover us, don't worry."
"And we should be able to test the improved power plant of the new Ark tonight."
Yanan said expectantly.
Ya Lei shook her head and said nothing, but silently glanced at the three people who left.
I always feel a little uneasy in my heart.
At this time, Yuyuko smiled slightly while listening to the six elders telling the comic story about the naval hero Sora and Masked Kingdom 66.
"found it."
"What did you find?"
Liu Lao happened to be a little dry when he spoke. Drinking water.
Youyuko shook her head, "It's nothing, I just remembered the prototype of this story."
"If I guessed correctly, it should be the relatively large Germa Kingdom that has been causing trouble in the East China Sea recently."
Liu Lao looked at Yuyouzi in surprise, and then nodded slowly, "This is indeed the Germa 66, but it is not completely in tune with Germa. For example, the hidden Black Mask 3 is actually the early one. As for the dead Third Prince Germa, as for Sola, it’s even more nonsense.”
Yuyuko sighed, "It's just that someone and the navy have reached a method to suppress the development of the Kingdom of Germa."
In fact, this did make the road back to the North Sea extremely difficult for the Germa Kingdom, and in the end they had to ask Auntie for help.
The main purpose of comics is to target the next generation. To vilify the Kingdom of Germa in comics is tantamount to murder and murder.
And now this comic has also spread to the East China Sea.
The meaning of this is somewhat thought-provoking.
As for why Yuyuko knows this comic.
That was actually one of the gains of the Nine Snakes Pirates. A pirate group from the North Sea brought this comic into the Grand Line.
Is the Kingdom of Germa really as evil as it appears in the comics?
Judging from some of Reiju's words, it really wasn't the case. Even those clone warriors, Germa, usually treated them as normal residents.
And this was also during the period of Iron Blood Jiazhi. Kaji also started after the Beihai rule of the Germa Kingdom was ended.
At the same time, if the previous Germa did not have any charisma, he would not be able to unify the Beihai just by relying on physics.
It is impossible to be a monster without a world government.
Yuyouzi couldn't help but think of the huge kingdom that had disappeared for a hundred years.
Could this be a kingdom that suddenly rises to rule the world?
Shaking his head, Youyouzi stopped thinking about this matter.
It is true that her train of thought was diverted just now because of Liu Lao's story.
Back to the topic.
Yuyuko did not find Yalei and Yanan hiding just now, but she found some clues and naturally paid special attention to them.
Although people were gone, Ting Feng and Jian Wen Se Ba Qi focused on that corner.
When a faint voice sounded in her ears, Yuyouzi knew that this was the ghost of the shipyard.
However, Youyouzi was not in a hurry to tell the six elders, but was a little concerned about the new ark that the younger sister said.
You must know that there is already an ark named Noah in the world of One Piece.
Being named after the Ark is obviously not something simple.
Curious...
