Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me!

Nami said, "Repairing the Dark Devil requires the Adam Wood, right? Isn't that kind of wood very expensive?"

"It's just patching up the deck I smashed; it won't take much wood. If tens of millions aren't enough to repair the Black Demon, then I might as well become a shipwright..."

Rocks didn't think repairing the Black Demon would require so many Berries.

That's not an exaggeration.

A Great Grade Sword like Wado Ichimonji is only worth a little over ten million Berries.

Prices in this world aren't necessarily expensive.

Robin knew a little about this: "It can't be that expensive. Tens of millions of Berries would be enough to buy a decent three-masted sailing ship."

Lox finally made the decision: "Let's go take a look first, and if that's not enough, we'll think of other ways."

Nami was still furious about Rocks' previous extravagant spending: "You know you need to spend money slowly, right? Humph, he spent over 40 million on those three jewels all at once, what a waste!"

Rocks glanced at Nami sideways: "Say that again!"

"Humph!"

Nami gave a haughty look and ignored Rocks.

Kuina, who hadn't said much, looked at Rocks: "So now we need to exchange the ship's treasure for Berries, right?"

Lockes nodded: "We need to find an exchange, but let's find a port to dock at first."

……

Not long after.

The Black Demon was already close to Water Seven Island.

The area nearby should be the main entrance to Water Seven Island, where there are quite a few people coming and going.

Most of them travel on a special mode of transportation called "Blue"...

One of the men, possibly a security guard, spotted the Black Demon and immediately drove the Blue closer.

He shouted, "Hey, ships aren't allowed to enter directly here. If you want to dock, you need to go to the port next door!"

Because the Black Demon didn't fly a pirate flag, this person didn't treat Rocks and his crew as pirates.

Pirate ships are treated differently from ordinary ships on the island...

Wearing sunglasses, Locks poked his head out and asked the man, "I'm here to repair my ship. Where's the best shipyard around here?"

"Here to repair the ship?"

The security guard wasn't surprised to hear this; people who come here are either sightseeing or have their boats repaired.

He glanced at the Black Demon, seemingly recognizing its material, and exclaimed with slight surprise, "Huh, this is a ship made from the Adam Tree?"

"Good eye!"

"That's quite a big spender. This ship must be worth hundreds of millions of Berries, right?"

The security guard was amazed.

Living here, he is also very knowledgeable about the cost of building ships.

He smiled at Lockes and said, "Since it's a ship made by the Adam Tree, only the shipwrights of the Carrera Company can repair it."

"Let's go to Dock One. It's Carrera's best dock, and only there can repair ships of this caliber."

He pointed in one direction: "Sail in that direction, and once you get close to the port, someone will meet you."

Thank you.

Rocks gave a thank you.

The Black Demon then proceeded in the direction the man pointed.

In just a few minutes, we arrived at a huge port.

Guided by a staff member, the Black Demon docked at the port.

"Wow, a ship made entirely of Adam Wood! Who has such a grand ambition? Is it a royal warship from some country?"

"This must be worth at least three or four hundred million, right?"

"I estimate it's more than that. The craftsmanship of this ship is clearly not simple. I estimate it will be worth no less than 500 million Berries!"

"..."

This place was originally the port where the shipyard was located, and it was home to many shipwrights.

Upon seeing the Black Demon, they immediately began to discuss it in surprise...

This ship is clearly very valuable.

They've worked here for years and have rarely seen a ship of this value!

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a grand gesture!

Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, the staff member who had guided the Black Demon earlier jogged over in this direction.

He smiled at Lockes, who was at the head of the group, and said, "Gentlemen, you're here to repair the ship, aren't you?"

"Yes," Lockes said.

Is there anything that needs repair?

"I can't explain it clearly either. Could you send someone to check it out?"

"Yes, sir, please wait a moment."

The staff member responded with a wave to the crowd.

An old shipwright who looked quite old and experienced came over.

With Rocks's permission, the two boarded the Black Demon...

After understanding the situation, the old shipwright said to the staff, "It can be repaired, but we need the foremen to do it."

"We'll only know the exact price after they conduct a more thorough examination..."

Is that so?

The staff member nodded.

He then turned to Locke and explained the situation: "Sir, the situation is like this, none of the foremen are here right now..."

The gist of it is to ask Lox and his men to wait a moment...

After thinking for a moment, Lockes said, "Let's stop the ship here for now and go sightseeing on the island."

"Please explain in detail when we return, that should be fine, right?"

"Of course, the results should be available in about an hour. Guests don't need to worry about any problems with the ship docking here."

The staff member said, "Guests can leave their contact information, and we will contact you as soon as the boatman has the results of his inspection."

"Then I'll leave it to you."

Lockes nodded.

Afterwards, the group left the port with the treasures they wanted to exchange.

Having rented a vehicle called "Blue," the group began to wander around the island...

……

at the same time.

Another dock port on the island of Seven Waters.

A huge ship, which looks charred and has been burned by flames, is moored here.

The bow of the ship features a ferocious Tyrannosaurus Rex with its fangs bared, as it is charred.

It looks rather incongruous.

The ship's sails and flags were painted with skulls resembling dinosaur skulls.

Behind the skull are patterns of a scythe, chains, and a flail...

This is the flag of "Tyrannosaurus Rex" Hanafuda, one of the current Seven Warlords of the Sea, whose original bounty was 326 million Berries!

This ship is also a vessel of the "Overlord Dragon" Hanafuda, named "Overlord Dragon God"!

"You're saying this ship is beyond repair?"

"Tyrant Dragon" Hanafuda, who is over five meters tall, has a burly build, and wears a mask that covers half of his face, looks at the people in front of him.

A cold glint appeared in his eyes: "What a joke! It's just been burned by flames, how could it be irreparable?"

It was just a little fire from that brat, and these boatmen are saying his boat is unusable?

Isn't this island famous as a shipbuilding island?

How could he not even be able to fix such a small problem with his "Overlord Dragon God"?

Then wouldn't his trip have been in vain?

Hanafuda, who was used to being domineering, was very dissatisfied with this answer!

"Your Excellency Hanafuda, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the keel of this ship has been burned, and I am quite surprised that it was able to sail this far."

Several people were standing in front of the hanafuda (flower cards).

The leader was a man with meticulously combed blue-purple hair, wearing a striped suit and sporting a beard.

He is the mayor of Water Seven Island, Espagu.

At this point, Espagu's tone was still relatively polite as he said to Hanafuda, "The keel is the support for a ship, and since that support has been destroyed, even with our technology, we cannot repair it..."

Simultaneously.

Behind Espargu stood several shipwrights from Dock One and the mayor's secretary.

The reason I came to this shipyard was because of the sudden visit of "Tyrant Dragon" Hanafuda.

The island of Water 7 could not possibly ignore the visit of a member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Even the mayor personally went to this No. 3 shipyard to solve the problem for "Tyrant Dragon" Hanafuda.

However, the other ship was damaged beyond repair...
