The Great Voyage: The Props Master on the Straw Hat Ship

"Come on, Zimoni, why don't you experience this feeling with your grandma?"

"Eh?! Grandma, I'm just a child! Children can't drink alcohol!!"

"Hahaha, of course I know, so we're just drinking beverages. What's wrong with kids drinking beverages?"

"??? Grandma, are you too drunk? Even if this is just a beverage, it's still..."

"No buts! You know, it's really too monotonous and tasteless for an old woman like me to drink alone in this station. Perfect, you can keep me company."

"Wow!!!"

Ignoring the jokes the grandfather and grandson made at Silft Station, the Merry continued its rapid journey towards Water Seven, following the direction of the log pointer.

It happened very quickly, in no time at all.

As everyone accelerated their sails, the group soon saw the outline of a city in the distance.

[Thank you again to the generous donor '魅影情绝修'!]

203 [Marine Life Ship]! Arrived at Water Seven! We're here to repair the ship!

"Oh oh oh!!"

Luffy, sitting in the VIP seat at the bow, was the first to call out.

The people on the ship also showed expressions of shock.

“It’s so beautiful!!”

Nami exclaimed in genuine admiration.

In everyone's view, the huge fountain stood tall in the very center of the city.

The clear spring water then flowed down into all directions of the city.

The clear, flowing water permeates the entire town, painting this city built on water in a picturesque way.

This is a small Western town with a classic European style, after all, it is modeled after Venetian, a city on the water.

Just by looking at the overall outline of the city, you can feel a vibrant and romantic atmosphere.

This is a city style that is like water, which can be as clear and sweet as a spring, or as vigorous and surging as a torrent.

If Sky Islands bring a dreamlike and wonderful experience, then Water Seven is a real-life romance and vitality!

This is a small town whose spirit exudes an uplifting and positive attitude, and the residents must be living very comfortably.

Even Link felt this completely different feeling from what he had seen in the comics and animations and what he had experienced firsthand.

Indeed, the real thrill comes from experiencing this adventure firsthand!

"But how do we get in?"

Luffy surveyed the surrounding sea, then heard a reasonable suggestion from the old man fishing nearby:

"It wouldn't be good if the pirates just walked into the city from the front. Let's go around to the back streets!"

"...Yes, thank you!!"

As the fishing uncle had instructed, the Merry sailed in the opposite direction.

"What an amazing floating city!!"

The further they went inside, the more they felt the extraordinary nature of this city.

The city appears to be submerged in water, as if it were about to sink, but it was actually built on a foundation that was submerged in the sea.

Just as they were about to stop the boat, an elderly man sweeping the floor nearby immediately called out:

"Hey you guys, pirate ships aren't allowed here. Are you here to rob us?"

A normal person would immediately ask someone if they were robbing them!

"No, we're here to repair the ship."

"That's it~"

Upon hearing Luffy say he was there to repair the ship, the man's attitude immediately improved. "There's a cape not far ahead; you can moor your ship there!"

"Yes, thank you!"

The group quickly found a piece of scattered, abandoned land next to the Seventh City of Water and landed on the shore.

"Speaking of which, why aren't the people in the town afraid of pirates?"

Nami was still a little confused. Neither the fishing uncle nor the sweeping grandpa seemed to mind their arrival.

They're pirates, you know.

"Because this is a shipbuilding site, anyone who comes here to have their ship repaired is a guest."

Link explained with a smile, "Almost everyone living here is closely related to the shipbuilding industry."

"Our arrival to repair the ship is seen by them as giving them a ship, so of course they will welcome us."

Robin chuckled and added, "Besides that, they probably also have powerful bodyguards who can defeat pirates, which gives these residents a good sense of security."

"Yes, that's it."

Link gave Robin a rather approving look; the two of them were getting more and more in sync.

"Alright, let's hurry up and go on an adventure on this island!"

"Wait, Luffy! We need to get down to business first! Let's find that Iceberg guy from the Galleyra Company and ask him to help us contact some excellent shipwrights!!"

"Oh right, I need a shipwright who's five meters tall!!"

"You haven't given up yet!!"

After some playful banter and discussion, the group quickly decided on their course of action.

Link, armed with a map and a letter of introduction, planned to negotiate with Iceberg, while Nami, as the navigator, also needed to go to the island to record the pointer.

Previously, at Silft Station, they learned from Granny Kokoro that the records of the Seven Water Cities needed seven days to be stored.

This week will give them a short break and more time to thoroughly repair the Merry.

Luffy, the impatient captain, also expressed his determination to go to town and have some fun.

Usopp was also planning to keep a close eye on the shipwright for the sake of the Going Merry, and not let Luffy do whatever he wanted and choose an unreliable guy.

Robin planned to go shopping to buy some new clothes, while Chopper wanted to go to the bookstore to buy some medical books.

Even if the medical system in such a bustling city can't compare to that of Cigu Island, it must still have its merits.

Thus, only Sanji, Zoro, and Ayumi remained on the ship to guard it.

Meanwhile, Zoro and Ah Niu remained engrossed in their fervent training at the [Canned Food Workshop].

This left Sanji alone on the ship, watching over it all by himself.

"So boring."

He watched Link and his group walk away into the distance, thought for a moment, and decided to go back to the kitchen to prepare some food in advance, so that the green algae-headed guy wouldn't have enough energy to replenish during his cultivation.

and?

"I also need to seriously think about how to become stronger..."

On the other side, Robin and Chopper temporarily parted ways with Link and Luffy after disembarking.

Nami also asked Robin to buy her clothes along with the clothes.

So, Link, along with Luffy, Nami, and Usopp, decided to head to the very center of town to find the Galleyra Company.

"There are so many waterways, how are we going to get across?"

Looking at the network of waterways and sea routes, it was really difficult to move forward.

"It must be thanks to that kind of creature, right?"

Nami, however, looked towards the creature on the water that resembled a carriage carrying a small boat, and whose nostrils were exhaling white steam.

"It looks like a combination of a cow and a fish?"

Usopp tilted his head.

"And it looks delicious!!"

There was also some drool hanging from the corner of Luffy's mouth.

"That's called Blue, also known as Bullfish. It's a water transport vehicle in the Seven Water Cities, similar in nature to a horse-drawn carriage."

Link explained, "Renting one costs a thousand Berries."

One thousand Berries, which is the price of ten newspapers, is a very fair price.

"Where can we rent them?"

Usopp had just finished asking when he saw Link pull out a small boat from his hand.

"We don't need to rent this; we can still ride it."

Link held a model ship in his hand, with a blue and yellow hull and a red top, resembling a cruise ship but with a sponge-like texture.

"This [Marine Life Ship] will solve the problem."

After he finished speaking, a rope resembling a harpoon shot out from the front of the model boat.

However, instead of sharp spikes, the front end of the rope has a suction cup similar to a toilet plunger.

The suction cup accurately hit a blue boar that was drinking water, paused on it for a second, and then quickly returned.

At the same time, the entire model boat emitted a dazzling white light, and its size gradually increased.

"Sigh!!"

This amazing scene piqued the interest of both Luffy and Usopp once again.

Whoosh?

Link placed the boat on the water, and in an instant, it became the same size and appearance as Blue.

Prop: [Marine Life Ship].

Internal group: 519124243

Description: The front end ejects suction cups that attach to marine life, copying its characteristics to transform it into a corresponding boat. This applies to appearance, size, and special features.

They can all be perfectly copied.

In other words, after copying Blue's ocean characteristics, this model boat prop became a Blue boat with four seats, resembling a yacht!

"Wow, that's amazing!!"

After listening to Link's introduction, the three of them were all amazed.

"Yo ho!!"

Luffy couldn't contain himself any longer and jumped onto the ship in one stride.

"It's quite comfortable to sit in!"

He stared at the steering wheel in the driver's seat, his eyes lighting up.

"After all, this is modeled after Blue's characteristics, so it naturally aims to match its comfort level as well."

As Link was saying this, he saw Luffy's elastic arm eagerly reaching for the rudder.

“Stop it!!”

Unfortunately, before he could succeed, he was suppressed by Nami's iron fist.

"A gadget like this is definitely meant for Link to operate!!"

"That's right! What if your reckless actions cause us to capsize?!"

Usopp chimed in, agreeing with him.

Although he was itching to try sailing a ship like this, he hesitated because he and his crew had important business to attend to.

In order to repair the Going Merry as soon as possible, Usopp did everything he could to avoid anything that might delay the journey.

"Well……"

As the captain, Luffy sat weakly and aggrievedly to the side, pouting and looking enviously at Link, who was once again sitting in the driver's seat.

I really wanted to open one too.
