Sailing: His comprehension is against the sky, and he comprehends the Eight Gates at the beginning.

Just as he exclaimed in surprise, the man's jaw suddenly dropped to the ground, his eyes popped out, and his voice trembled violently.

"Gold...gold! So much gold!"

Having gotten the answer he wanted, Luffy smiled and thanked the man.

"Thank you!"

Then, they flew the Proverb to the island.

Only the man remained, frozen in place, like a puppet.

Having set a goal, Nami asked Luffy.

"Where should we go first? The Carrera headquarters, or the shipyard?"

Luffy thought for a moment and then said.

"Let's go to the shipyard first! We can leave the Going Merry there and have them start the refitting for us."

“If Espargo isn’t at the shipyard, then we’ll go to Carrera’s headquarters.”

...

Within the Water Seven!

In the past, Qishuizhi should have been bustling with people, filled with laughter and greetings.

But today.

The people in Water City became like puppets, each with a horrified expression, staring blankly at the sky.

They watched as the enormous ship above them slowly flew through the air.

"A ship...a ​​ship flying in the sky?!"

"Is this for real? How can a ship fly in the sky?"

"It's like a train at sea, a miracle!"

As the city's residents were shocked and filled with emotion, someone suddenly exclaimed.

"Hey! Look! There's so much gold on that ship!"

Immediately, everyone noticed the glittering gold, an enormous quantity of which.

In an instant, everyone's eyes widened in disbelief.

"How is this possible?! That number?! I can't even imagine it!"

"It's like a dream!"

"So much gold must be worth at least 100 billion Berries!"

"100 billion? I think it's worth at least 5 trillion!"

"5...5 trillion?! This...this..."

Upon hearing this incredibly exaggerated number, everyone was speechless with astonishment.

Some people even fainted on the spot.

This number is absolutely astonishing!

At this point, someone couldn't help but ask a question out of curiosity.

"Who are those people on that ship? They're so rich! They must be some incredibly important figures!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's attention immediately turned to the people on the ship.

Soon, a gasp of surprise rang out from the crowd.

"It's Straw Hat Luffy! Look, everyone, that guy peering down from the side of the ship... that's the super rookie pirate Straw Hat Luffy with a bounty of 5 million Berries!"

The moment the name was announced, the crowd erupted in excitement.

"It's that Straw Hat Boy who became famous worldwide a few days ago through his live stream! Has he come to our Water Seven?"

"I watched that live stream! The Straw Hat crew are ridiculously strong monsters! It was absolutely amazing!"

"I've heard the Straw Hat Pirates are extremely vicious pirates. I hope they won't come here to cause trouble!"

"Really?! Don't we still have the Carrera shipwrights? They're all incredibly strong!"

"I bet you didn't watch that live stream! Otherwise, you wouldn't have said such stupid things! The shipwrights at Carrera are probably not even as good as one of the Straw Hat crew's hands!"

"Hey! Hey! Really? What you're saying is way too outrageous! Are the Straw Hat crew really that strong?"

"You wouldn't believe me even if I told you! In short, if the Straw Hat Pirates want to cause trouble in this city, nobody can stop them..."

"I never expected the Straw Hat crew to be such an incredibly wealthy pirate crew! They're so rich! I really want all that gold!"

"Who wouldn't want that?"

News of the Straw Hat Pirates' arrival quickly spread throughout Water Seven.

This caused widespread panic, with everyone fearing that they would wreak havoc in the city!

However, there was another piece of news that spread throughout the city.

That is, the Straw Hat Pirates are actually an incredibly wealthy pirate crew with over 5 trillion Berries worth of gold.

This staggering number shocked everyone who heard it, making them drool!

Luffy and his crew were completely unaware of these events.

They remained engrossed in their search for Dock No. 1.

Finally, after a period of flight, they found the enormous shipyard located in the city center.

With the arrival of the Straw Hat crew, the entire dock entrance was quickly surrounded by people.

Everyone stared intently at the Straw Hat crew, shocked to see them in person, their flying ship, and the gold that everyone coveted.

After placing the Proverb on an open area in Dock 1, Luffy jumped down and arrived in front of the shipwrights who had already gathered together.

To his surprise, he discovered that Espagu was also there.

But before he could say anything, he heard the exclamations of Asbaghu and several foremen.

"That's amazing! It's the first time I've ever seen a flying ship!"

"This is truly unexpected! Even we foremen at Carrera Corporation never imagined we could build a flying ship!"

"Who on earth built this ship? How much energy would it take to propel such a massive ship into the sky?!"

"And... that gold is just too extravagant! It's practically impossible to look away!"

Seeing that Espagu and the foremen were still in shock at their spaceship and gold, Luffy couldn't help but cough twice.

"Cough cough..."

After being reminded, the people opposite him finally came to their senses and looked at him.

Luffy naturally recognized them as well.

Apart from Esbag, the rest of the people were the hidden CP9 organization and several unsuspecting foremen in Barry.

Esbagu spoke first.

"Sorry! We were just distracted by your spaceship!"

"Let me introduce myself. I am Esbag, the owner of Carrera Corporation, and also the mayor of this Water Seven!"

"May I ask what brings you to our Carrera Company's shipyard?"

Although he knew there were CP9 members on the other side, Luffy didn't mind.

He knew that these people were very serious and responsible in their work with the boatmen.

He handed the letter introducing Kokoro, number 4.1, to Espagu and then began to speak.

"I am Monkey D. Luffy!"

"We came here on the recommendation of Grandma Kokoro."

"I would like to ask you to help us modify a ship."

Afterwards, Luffy told Espagu and the foremen about his idea.

After hearing Luffy's words, Espagu and the others were shocked once again.

Foreman Barry couldn't help but complain.

"What kind of pirate crew are you?"

"You actually have two hundred of those Wind-Blowing Shells, which are extinct on Sky Island?!"

They build ships for the whole world, so naturally they have a wide range of knowledge.

They knew perfectly well how rare the Wind-blown Shell was.

But who would have thought that Luffy could casually pull out 200 of them?

The sheer scale of their wealth was as shocking to Espargo and his ilk as their possession of 5 trillion in gold.

At that moment, each of them was secretly filled with jealousy.

"This pirate crew... is absolutely outrageously rich!"

At this moment, Espagu spoke up.

"If you have 200 Wind-Blowing Shells, you can modify them into the ship you want."

"However, first we need to see your ship before we can determine the modification plan and price!"

After that, the Merry was unloaded from the Proverbs deck.

Luffy's requirements for them were to make the ship as light and sturdy as possible, and to make the hull slightly smaller so that it would be easier to store in the future Thousand Sunny's dock.

Because this modification is essentially like turning the Going Merry into a large Widman, it doesn't require very complex technology.

As one of the world's best shipwrights, Espargo quickly finalized the modification plan and price.

The refit of the Merry began immediately.

After everything was arranged for the Going Merry, Luffy spoke to Espagu.

"There's one more thing I'd like to ask you."

Chapter 102 [Super Bucky Bomb] is on the agenda! Franky is excited!

When he heard Luffy say there were still questions, Asbagi looked at Luffy with a puzzled expression.

Then, Luffy told him about the Adam Wood.

However, Esbagu shook his head after hearing this and said...

"That special type of wood is not traded on the normal market."

"I can't find the resources either!"

Luffy was mentally prepared for this answer long ago.

So I wasn't too disappointed.

Now, he's just waiting for the Frankie family to come knocking on his door.

After thanking Espargo, Luffy turned around and spoke to Nami behind him.

"Nami, use your powers to take some gold from the ship! Let's exchange the gold for Berries!"

"Remodeling the Going Merry would cost 500 million Berries, and we don't have enough money left over."

While modifying Merry isn't difficult, designing and perfectly fitting the jet shell still requires a certain level of skill.

Therefore, it is more expensive than ordinary shipbuilding.

Nami asked after hearing Luffy's words.

"How much gold do you need to exchange for?"

Luffy thought for a moment and then said...

"Just change it a little bit!"

"Let's exchange for 10 billion first!"
