Pirate: I broke Akainu's defense with a bucket of water.

If he can use this thing, others can use it too.

However, it is impossible to open the interface. Instead, you just need to throw coal into the bottom of the furnace and put the things to be burned in the opening above.

Of course, you don’t have to put coal in the opening below. For example, you can put normal firewood in it. The only difference is that the burning time is similar to that of wooden sticks, and it is not as durable as charcoal.

Do it all.

Cheng Lang just came up and installed a trap door, and saw Alrita waiting there.

Seeing Cheng Lang coming up, she looked at him excitedly.

Cheng Lang waved his hand and said, "There's only charcoal underneath, no gold left."

"so.."

"But that's normal. There's very little vegetation around Orange Town. Clearly, the geology isn't suitable for plant growth, so there's naturally little coal underneath. Looking at Xiluobu Village, it's clearly densely vegetated, and they rely on rice cultivation for their livelihood."

Cheng Lang said.

This was also what he had vaguely guessed when he dug a thousand squares and still found coal.

Games are games, reality is reality.

Minerals are evenly distributed in the game.

But the reality is different, otherwise some countries would not rely on selling iron ore to maintain their status as member states.

However, as long as you dig deep enough, you can still find different minerals.

But his backpack would definitely not fit that.

Moreover, there were too many fallen objects piled up, making it difficult for him to find a place to stand.

"But fortunately, we still harvested three or four groups of iron ore, so it's not a loss." Cheng Lang was very open-minded.

Alrita nodded and changed the subject: "Butler Merry said he had a surprise for us. Luffy and the others said they wanted to wait for you. Now we just need you."

“Go and have a look”

Chapter 33 The Straw Hat Pirates are established.

After seeing Cheng Lang and Alrita, Luffy and his group headed to the beach in a mighty manner.

The Merry was already there at this moment.

And Merry smiled and began to introduce the Merry.

The Meili is a triangular sailboat with a total length of 13 meters and a height of 11 meters.

The interior space is actually not very large.

Three rooms on deck.

The room where the artillery is placed at the bow is opposite to the warehouse, and above the warehouse is the kitchen and conference room.

And below is below deck.

There are three rooms in total.

The men's dormitory is near the bow, the bathroom is in the middle, and the women's dormitory is at the stern.

There are six rooms, which are neither too big nor too small, and are suitable for five or six people living together.

And now there are seven members.

Male members: Luffy, Zoro, Usopp, and Cheng Lang.

Female members: Nami, Alrita, and Mi.

Obviously, such a lineup can still be accommodated, but it may be a bit difficult if there are more people.

Naturally, everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates focused their attention on Cheng Lang at this moment.

"It can be modified, but is it possible?" Cheng Lang looked at Meli.

"Of course, this is already your ship." Meli had no dissatisfaction at all.

After all, how far can the transformation go?

We can't just tear it down, right?

Then he stared blankly at Cheng Lang as he really tore Meli apart.

A major renovation was carried out directly on the original basis.

Although it still looks like Merry in the end, it is no longer in the shape of Merry.

The original 13-meter-long Merry was expanded to 32 meters.

If the sail was not big enough, he could continue to expand it.

"How is it?" Cheng Lang looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction.

Although he is not a construction player, he is still very satisfied with his skills at this moment.

Merry looked at the square Merry and felt so square.

"Hiss...Are you sure this can work?"

"I packed it. Even though the boat is much bigger, the blocks created by my ability aren't as heavy as they look. If you don't believe me, look at the bottom of the boat. Isn't it sinking just like before?"

"If that's the case, why would you modify a ship?" Merry was a little confused.

After all, according to Cheng Lang's ability, as long as the design drawings are in place, he can build a ship larger than a warship, without any restrictions on materials.

"No, let me give you a simple example."

Cheng Lang simply stacked two wooden boards and then removed the lower one.

A very unscientific flying wooden board appeared in front of Meli.

Merry touched it in astonishment, then jumped up. There was clearly nothing below, but no matter how he jumped he couldn't sink.

"If I had built it directly, the result would have been a ship that couldn't move in one place and had to rely on other ships. So the only disadvantage of scaling up is that it's easy to get the decorations wrong."

Cheng Lang's side was finished, and Luffy and others had already boarded the ship.

"By the way, I also need to get some glass."

As he spoke, Cheng Lang dug a lot of sand from the beach and started to burn glass.

Meli stared blankly at the angular Meli and shook his head in amusement.

Angry? How could that be?

After just a sigh, he prepared for the next step of work.

He planned to renovate the ship. After all, it was enlarged in proportion, so the things he designed naturally had to be enlarged in proportion as well.

"Wait a moment, I'll go gather some people and work on the ship."

As for how things that are not MC items connect with blocks?

Cheng Lang can just press it on, and no nails are needed. The effect is better than nails.

Even if Luffy tried hard, he couldn't pull it apart, as if these things had been grown onto the wooden board from the beginning.

The same wooden boards can also be painted and clad with iron sheets.

Finally, the scaled-up Merry was officially born. Perhaps its only drawback is its relatively weak bottom. After all, the bottom of the ship must be in contact with the water surface. If it is covered with blocks, it will become immobile.

Time is passing by busily

the next day.

The supplies on Cheng Lang’s previous ship had been cleared out, and even the entire ship had been dismantled.

And Usopp has already said goodbye to Kaya.

The Straw Hat Pirates, the only one missing from the East China Sea chapter is Sanji.

shore.

Kaya stood there, not trying to persuade him to stay, but looking at Usopp with a smile.

"Keya! I'll come back to you after I've traveled around the world! Then I'll tell you my own adventure stories! They won't be just made-up stories anymore!"

"Ok, I will wait for you!"

Similarly, Usopp's three younger brothers also waved their hands excitedly.

Luffy stood beside Usopp, reluctant to leave.

Don't get me wrong, he couldn't bear to part with the iron golem.

Facts proved that Cheng Lang's idea was correct. The iron golem was too heavy. The moment it got on the ship, the entire ship sank.

And once on board, the entire ship began to capsize.

The port of Xiluobu Village is getting smaller and smaller.

Keya and the three little ones gradually disappeared from view.

……

"Now that we have almost the same number of people, it's about time we officially raise the pirate flag!"

Luffy put forward his own idea.

But after Luffy finished speaking, he looked at Alrita.

After all, there is a former pirate captain on board.

In response, Alrita lifted her hair and smiled charmingly.

"I was defeated by you, so naturally I must obey the arrangements of the victor."

At this point, the Straw Hat Pirates were officially established.

When the flag symbolizing the Straw Hat Pirates was raised, Cheng Lang looked at the people around him.

Naturally, his last gaze fell on Alrita.

Originally, Alrita should have encountered Buggy who was knocked away by Luffy shortly after eating the fruit.

The two then sailed together and discovered that they had both been beaten by Luffy, and they prepared to seek revenge.

But now, Alrita was recruited by himself in advance and even became a member of Luffy's ship.

What will happen to Buggy the Clown? Will he be eaten by the fish because of his transformation?

In the original work, it seems that it was Alrita who saved Buggy.

However, Cheng Lang soon stopped thinking about those things. With Buggy's domineering luck, it was impossible for him to die so easily.

"Why are you looking at me? You are not my captain now~" Alrita teased with a smile.

Cheng Lang shrugged at this.

"I'm not cut out to be a captain."

"Yoshi! Let's have a party to celebrate our official becoming pirates!" Luffy suggested with a smile.

A group of people responded to this.

Then something awkward happened.

Who cooks?

A banquet requires delicious food, right? You can't just drink and eat fruit, right?

"Don't look at me. I can only provide some food that comes with my ability." Cheng Lang spread his hands.

After one round, everyone spread their hands to indicate that they didn't know how to do it.

Nami smiled and said, "If you're willing to pay, I can make it. I can't guarantee whether it'll be delicious or not."

"Eh~ You still want money!?" Usopp expressed shock.

Not only him, but also Alrita and Kuya Mi who had just boarded the ship were surprised.

Nami didn't show any sign of nervousness at all and looked very reasonable.

"So we are still short of a cook." Zoro gave his thoughts.
