I reached the top of Pirates

Chapter 190 189. Tom and the Boat!

Yamato grinned and said:

"you guess?"

Eri blinked, turned around and stood up from Xiongbao's neck, walked over against the wind, and squatted down beside Messer.

"Let me see."

Yamato's mouth twitched, and he said helplessly:
"It's very dangerous. We're a thousand meters above the ground. What if we fall?"

Eri's eyes curved as she smiled: "I'm not afraid. Brother Bao will come to save me when the time comes."

Xiong Bao said helplessly at this time:
"Then I'll swallow you whole and lock you up in a dark room."

Eiry stuck out her tongue and made an "ehhh" sound, then sat down next to Messer, picked up Messer's right arm, and rested her head on his arm, her movements smooth and flowing.

Yamato blinked his eyes, pinched Eri's cheek with his fingers, and said helplessly:
"You know how to enjoy it, girl."

Eri blinked and looked at the sky above her head. A soft and gentle voice sounded:
"Eri will feel safe staying with her brother."

Yamato: "."

Messer sensed everything around him, raised his right arm slightly, and put his arm around the little girl's shoulders. Joy appeared in Eiry's eyes.

Breathing fluctuates.

The breathing rates of the three people were synchronized, the body of all things was moving, the soul and the body were united, and the scenery in Moser's spiritual vision appeared in the consciousness of the two of them.

The surrounding environment is filled with dense, chaotic yet orderly frequency lines.

That is the natural magnetic field in nature.

Of course, the human magnetic field of the three people is also indispensable, which is another perspective of the unity of man and nature. The human magnetic field interacts and circulates with the magnetic field in nature, and strands of blue and white electromagnetic force arcs shuttle and explode on the body surface of the three people.

Time passed, and two days passed in the blink of an eye.

The city of the Queen of Spring. Santa Pobla.

This is a spring island.

evening.

A group of four walked into the port.

"What a nice smell! It's spring."

Yamato shrugged his shoulders, his body curves gracefully, his eyes filled with joy as he looked at the neatly trimmed poplar trees on both sides of the road and the beautiful flowers in the surrounding flower beds that competed for fragrance and beauty.

Here, the smooth-barked silver poplar is a specialty of this city, and the silver poplar is used in all aspects of construction and home living.

And here is also the most famous Pobla Paper Mill on the Grand Route.

There is also the famous Happy Street.

I heard that the famous Queen of Happy Street is here.

There is also a new sea train station here.

The purpose of Messier's coming here was to bring them to experience for themselves what the so-called sea train was.

A fixed railway track that can run on the sea is unprecedented.

Mercer chuckled and said, "The temperature on this island remains around 30 degrees Celsius year-round. It's one of the top tourist destinations on the Grand Route, famous for its beautiful scenery and beaches."

"No wonder. How many days shall we stay here?" Yamato looked around with longing, a satisfied smile on his lips.

"We'll only stay for one night. Tomorrow morning we'll take the sea train to the Water City for some shopping."

"Brother, why are we going there?"

Walking on the street, Messer rubbed Eri's head and said with a smile: "Let's see if there is a suitable boat. If there is, we can buy one or find someone to build one."

Yamato blinked and said with a grin:
"Are we finally going to buy our own big boat?"

Xiong Bao looked at a milk tea shop on the roadside and said speechlessly:

"Isn't our Little Bear a boat? Let's go have some milk tea."

Yamato smiled and said, "But the Bear is too small. We can only use it occasionally for walking. We still live in the castle on a daily basis, right?"

Come to the milk tea shop.

Messer and his three companions sat by the window. A waiter came over immediately and ordered a cup of milk tea for each of them, as well as a batch of cakes and desserts.

Soon, milk tea was served, and various desserts were also served.

Chocolate hazelnut cake.

mousse cake.

Of course, there are also various fruit cakes.

I have tasted all of them.

The taste buds were fully enjoyed.

Eri's eyebrows were filled with joy. She ate the dessert in small bites and smiled with narrowed eyes:

"If Sister Pepe knew we were having dessert here without her, she would definitely cry, right?"

Yamato blinked and smiled at Xiong Bao:

"Give me the photo of the phone bug. I want to take a picture. When I go back, I'm going to envy Runti and the others to death."

Mercer pinched her face and said speechlessly:

"Be a human being, Runti will be furious, and then you will have another chance to beat her up, right?"

“Really?” Yamato turned his eyes away and laughed, “Runti and I have such a good relationship that I won’t beat her.

I'm just being kind and want to spend my time helping her become stronger."

Xiong Bao tutted, pulled out a dull-eyed camera-capable Den Den Mushi from his mouth, patted the shell, and expertly pressed the shutter button towards Yamato and her dessert. Click, click! Flashes flashed in the Den Den Mushi's eyes as the scene was captured.

Photos were printed out on the spot from the printing device connected to the matching printing telephone bug stored in the abdomen.

Messier smiled and shook his head. There was no doubt that when he returned there would be chaos again.

Although Pepe and his companions who stayed in Donghai for the past two years did not grow as fast as Yamato, they were not wasting their time.

Yamato can easily deal with one Runti or Pepe, but if they work together, Yamato might be killed as a BOSS.

It’s exciting just thinking about it.

Do you want to go back and organize a martial arts competition then?

Well, why not just stay in Uta’s Gege space, that way there won’t be any problems even if we fight to the death.

Just as he thought of this, Messier discovered that the Den Den Mushi in the devouring space started to scream.

The gray mist spread and dissipated in the palm of his hand.

A water-blue Den Den Mushi was taken out.

Pick up the phone and answer it.

Mercer smiled and said, "What brings you to call me today?"

Den Den Mushi looks very similar to Uta, "Are you free? I'm not the one looking for you, no, that's not right, Shanks and I are looking for you."

"Yes, it will be free now."

Uta, who was sitting opposite Den Den Mushi, looked at Shanks beside him and blinked. Shanks pursed his lips:

"Bring Moses to the world of song."

Uta nodded slightly:

"Messer, I'll take you to the Song World then. Please get ready."

Messer looked at Yamato and the other three and said, "Cover your ears. I'm going to the Song Song World."

This is a strange place after all.

Yamato and the others covered their ears.

Moses said, "Okay."

An ethereal, graceful and melodious sound was heard.

The singing was not loud, and Moses's consciousness was pulled into the world of singing.

The next moment, the perspective changed.

Arrived on the deck of the Redvers.

There is endless sea all around.

Looking at Shanks, whom he hadn't seen for two years, Messer waved: "Yo!"

"Messer, long time no see. You've grown taller and become stronger."

Shanks looked at Messer with a gentle expression and smiled.

"You, too, have become stronger. Is there something important you want to talk to me about? Otherwise, you wouldn't have come here specifically to see me."

Messier looked at him. He could now be considered the top combat force on the sea.

Shanks smiled bitterly and said:

"It's nothing serious, but there's one thing I'm quite concerned about. Have you heard of Tom, the world's number one shipbuilder?"

Without waiting for Messer to speak, Shanks continued:

"I learned from some sources that he seems to be facing some persecution from the World Government recently. We have a history, and I called him to ask about it, but he said he could handle it. However, based on my understanding of the World Government, I'm afraid things are not that simple.

I'm currently in the deep South China Sea and can't get there at the moment, so I wanted to ask if you have time to go over and take a look?
Of course, if you’re not available, that’s fine, I’ll find someone else.”

Blinking, thinking that he knew that I was in Alabasta before, that's why he asked me, Messer looked at Shanks and smiled:
"No problem. I'm nearby right now. I'll keep an eye on it for you. If necessary, I'll help."

Shanks breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile:
"Thank you for this time. I owe you a favor. I'll buy you a drink next time we meet."

Mercer waved his hand and said with a smile:
"Didn't I hear you were fighting the navy in the Grand Line? Why are you going to the South China Sea again?"

"that?

You mean about Mihawk?

We have life cards that we exchanged. Last time, I noticed something was wrong with him, and I suspected it was the work of the Celestial Dragons, so I went to check it out out of curiosity. Unexpectedly, I ended up helping him out.”

Shanks blinked and grinned, “That guy was pretty badly chased back then, but he seemed to enjoy it quite a bit.

It seems he's not very satisfied with my support. By the way, I found that Admiral Aokiji is quite strong. His freezing ability and physical skills are amazing. If you meet him in the future, remember to be careful.

Mercer looked at him speechlessly, "He's not a pirate, why should I be careful?"

Shanks curled his lips and said, "You've offended that guy. He'll definitely find a way to retaliate against you. Those guys are very mean. If you're not careful, you'll end up with a bounty on your head."

"Oh!" Moses chuckled. "Then I'll wait for him to take revenge on me."

Shanks rolled his eyes, "Alright, enough talking. I'm going out for a drink. We can talk later."

He winked at Uta, and the song started, and Shanks was sent away wrapped in colorful notes.

Uta put her hands behind her back and came to Messer, looking at him with her head slightly tilted.

"What are you looking at me for?"

Pressing her head with his left hand, Moses smiled and said:
"It's like you haven't seen me in a while."

Uta smiled.

"It's been almost a week since we last met. I learned a new song in the South China Sea. I'd like to sing it for you. Do you want to hear it?"

Leaning against the railing of the boat, Mercer raised his chin and motioned her to sing.

Uta cleared her throat, swung her arms, and marched in step, and a melodious and pleasant singing voice emerged.

The lyrics are light and full of cheerful rhythm. The whole person starts jumping along with the song, showing the beauty of youth.

Because it is a new song, I play it on repeat.

But Uta's singing has a unique charm.

……

The next day.

Early morning. Eight o'clock.

After breakfast, the four of them came to a station at the port.

Bought a ticket.

We lined up in a sparse queue and boarded the sea train.

The sea train is steam powered.

Messer bought a standard four-seater seat.

There is a table in the middle.

The two seats by the window were occupied by Yamato and Eri, with Messer and Xiong Bao sitting next to them respectively.

The sea train is very powerful and can reach the water city in two hours.

With the sound of the whistle "Toot, Toot!", the entire sea train smoothly drove out of the station.

The surrounding scenery quickly receded.

I felt a slight vibration beneath my body. It was hard to imagine that this high-tech track was laid on the sea. However, I thought that it could only be made of super buoyancy materials.

"It's like a tin box, but it can run so fast. It's amazing."

Yamato leaned his hands against the window glass, his eyes sparkling:
"The world is truly amazing."

"Such a convenient ship exists! If this kind of track could be laid all over the world, wouldn't that mean even ordinary people could travel around the world?"

Yamato said innocently with a bright smile.

Messer looked at her and smiled faintly. He couldn't respond to such words because it was not very realistic.

There were various issues affecting us. Time passed by in a flash while we were chatting.

"The train will soon arrive at the station, Water City. Please prepare to get off the train x3. Please do not crowd. Passengers should get off the train in an orderly manner."

The sound of the flight attendant's Den Den Mushi broadcast came to his ears, and a smile appeared on the corner of Messer's mouth.

"Messer, we've arrived at our stop, let's get off."

Yamato stood up and rubbed his perky buttocks, feeling somewhat helpless: "I've been sitting for a long time and it's a little uncomfortable. Why is it hard? Can't it be soft?"

"How can something soft be as comfortable as lying down?"

Moses chuckled and said:
“Maybe there will be soft sleeper berths in the future.

Let’s wait a few years and see, maybe it will be available then.”

"That's right, hehehe."

Exit the train from the nearest carriage door.

Set foot on the station of the Water City.

Follow the flow of people to the street.

Mercer didn't know Tom's location and didn't want to ask, but he used his Observation Haki to sense it.

Enveloping the entire city.

Block out distracting sounds.

A series of stronger auras appeared in the perception.

Immediately afterwards, a burly fishman figure appeared in the perception line of sight.

At the same time, Messer sensed that he was looking into each other's eyes.

The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, it was him.

At this time, Xiong Bao saw the smile on Messier's face and knew the result, so he asked:
"did you find it?"

"Well, I found it. Come on, let's go meet the real person."

After a while.

Mercer and his three companions arrived at a scrapyard near the edge of the city.

After passing through a brick and stone doorway, we arrived under a bridge.

This is Tom's Shipyard.

Looking at the sturdy, horned man with light yellow skin, about four meters tall, standing at the entrance of the shipyard opposite, Mercer smiled and said:

"Mr. Tom?"

Tom looked at Mercer with a puzzled look, grinned with his jagged teeth, and said:

"Hahahaha, I'm Tom. What's going on with me, bro?"

Moses smiled and said, "One of your old friends is worried about you, so he asked me to come and see you. He also wants you to help him build a ship."

Tom looked puzzled. "Old friend? Who is that? And I can't build a boat right now. The day after tomorrow I'm going to be retried by the chief judge on Judicial Island. I don't have time right now."

"It's Shanks. If you don't believe me, you can call him to confirm."

Moses chuckled and said:
"As for shipbuilding, there's no rush. I can wait a few days."

Tom's eyes widened slightly, and he scolded with a smile:

"Didn't I tell that brat that I'm fine here? He doesn't need to worry about me."

Having said that, he still went back to his room and called to confirm. After a while, Tom came out with a smile, looked at Messer and said:

"Your name is Messer, right? I checked with him. I didn't expect Shanks to be so worrying."

"Come in and sit down. I'll give you some tea. Then we can talk about the ship."

Messer nodded in response and brought Eri and the others in. The room was very large, like a warehouse, and it was full of things, but it didn't look messy.

Very organized.

He brought the four of them to a living room where there were two young men in their twenties. Tom pointed at them and introduced them with a satisfied look on his face:
"The older one is called Icebagger, you can just call him Iceberg, and the younger one is called Flamm. They are both my favorite disciples.

When you build the ship later, they will help me."

Moses smiled and nodded to them both. At this time, Yamato tugged at Moses' sleeve and whispered:

"Is that Fram a pervert? How can he just come out in broad daylight in just his underwear?"

Mercer said calmly, "Everyone has their own hobbies. Who knows, his race might be perverted."

"Tsk, kid, you have good taste. The word 'pervert' sounds pretty good. My future race will be perverts. It's a pity that I can't patent a race."

Fram said with a look of disgust.

Messer blinked, gaining a better understanding of the extent of his perversion.

"Hahahaha, seeing you two get along so well, I'm relieved. By the way, Brother Mercer, what kind of boat do you want?"

"Well, first of all, it needs to be strong enough. The best material is Baoshu Adam. It should be about 3 to meters long and to meters wide. It needs to have plenty of rooms with good soundproofing, at least ten. It should have a kitchen, a storage room, three bathrooms, a living room, and a large deck outside. In short, it should be built like a high-end hotel. Weapon systems are unnecessary. As for the power system, electric power will be enough. There should be outboard wheels on both sides of the ship. Those are my requirements. The rest is up to you. For the bow, a panda head."

Messier said a lot of random things, then looked at Yamato, Kumabo and the others:
"Do you have anything else to add?"

Yamato and Eri shook their heads, indicating no, and Kumabo blinked, happy to see the Panda Bow again.

"Hey, hey, hey, are you building a ship or a house? Why don't you have a weapons system?"

Fram stared at Messer in amazement. "And isn't your request too much?"

"Can't it be made?" Moses wondered.

"That's not the case. It's just that this is the first time I've heard of a ship without a weapon system. Wouldn't it be too dangerous for a ship without a weapon system to sail on the sea?
If you encounter an enemy, won't you just let them attack you?"

Mercer shook his head. "Don't worry, I'm very strong. I will protect my ship."

When Tom heard this, a gentle look appeared in his eyes. Anyone who could say such words about his own ship must not be a bad guy.

"Hahaha. Okay, I understand what you mean. I'll draw the draft tonight. Come and see if it's suitable tomorrow. If it is, after my retrial, I'll start helping you build a good ship."

"Okay, then I'll pay you the deposit once the manuscript is ready."

Tom laughed heartily and said:

"no problem."

"Okay, I'll be leaving now. See you tomorrow. I'm on the island. This is my Den Den Mushi number. If you need anything, you can contact me directly."

Messer left his Den Den Mushi number and left with Eri and the others.

Tom watched Mercer and the others walk away, thinking of what Shanks had just said:
"Is he a kid you can trust?"
