Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me

Nami said, "Repairing the Dark Devil requires Adam's Treasure Tree, 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 that repairing the Black Demon would require so many Berries.

That's not an exaggeration.

A great sword of the Wado Ichimonji grade is only worth a little over ten million Berries.

Prices in this world are neither expensive nor expensive.

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

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

Nami still couldn't forgive Rocks for his previous extravagant spending: "You know you need to spend money slowly, right? Humph, he spent over 40 million to buy 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 a money exchange, but let's find a port to dock in first."

……

Not long after.

The Black Demon was already close to Water Seven Island.

The area nearby should be the 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 a "bru"...

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

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

Because the Black Demon wasn't carrying any sea monsters, and no one mistook Rocks and his crew for sea monsters...

The treatment on the sea is different...

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

"Here to repair the ship?"

The security guards weren't surprised to hear this; people who come here are either tourists or boat repairmen.

He glanced at the Black Demon, as if recognizing its material, and was slightly surprised: "Huh, this is a ship made by Adam Treasure Tree?"

"Good eye!"

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

The security guards were astonished.

Having lived here, he is very knowledgeable about the cost of building ships.

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

"Let's go to Shipyard Number One. That's Carrera's best shipyard, and only there can they repair ships of this caliber."

He pointed in a direction: "Drive in that direction, and you'll be greeted by someone once you get close to the port."

Thank you.

Rocks offered a word of thanks.

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

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 entirely made by Adam Treasure Tree, who has such a grand gesture? Could it be a royal warship of some country?"

"I estimate this to be worth three or four hundred million, right?"

"I estimate it's more than that. The craftsmanship of this ship is clearly extraordinary. I estimate it's worth no less than 500 million Berries!"

"..."

This was originally the port where the shipyard was located, and many shipwrights gathered here.

Upon seeing the Black Demon, they immediately began to discuss it in astonishment…

This ship is clearly not cheap.

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 clamor and chatter, the staff who had just guided the Black Demon came jogging over here.

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.

"Where does it need 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 had a lot of experience came over.

With Rocks's consent, 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."

"The exact price will only be known after they conduct a more detailed examination..."

Is that so?

The staff member nodded.

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

The gist of it is to ask Rocks and the others 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."

"We'll explain everything to you in detail when we get back, that shouldn't be a problem, right?"

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

The staff member said, "Guests can leave their contact information, and we will contact you as soon as the boatman's inspection results are available."

"Then I'll leave it to you."

Lockes nodded.

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

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

……

At the same time.

Another shipyard port on Seven Waters Island.

There is a huge ship here that looks charred, as if it has been scorched by flames.

The bow of the ship features a ferocious Tyrannosaurus Rex with its fangs bared, charred from the fire.

It looks rather incongruous.

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

The skull also features images of a sickle, chains, and a meteor hammer...

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

This ship is also the ship of the "Tyrannosaurus" Hanafuda, named "Tyrannosaurus God"!

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

The "Tyrant Dragon" Hanafuda, who was over five meters tall, had a burly build, and wore a mask that covered half of his face, looked 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 burn from that brat's flames, yet these boatmen are saying his boat is unusable?

Isn't this island famous for its shipbuilding?

They couldn't even fix such a small problem as his "Overbearing 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 truly astonished that it has managed to sail this far."

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

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

He is Espagu, the mayor of Water Seven Island.

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 the support has been damaged, even with our technology, we cannot repair it..."

At the same time.

Behind Espargo stood several shipwrights from Shipyard One and the mayor's secretary.

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

The island of Water Seven could not possibly ignore the visit of one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

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

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

"Hmph! That's not what I wanted to hear!"

Hanafuda snorted coldly: "If you don't give me a good solution, you're not leaving today!"

"This……"

Esbag frowned, his expression not looking good...

He knew these "legal foreigners" would be easy to get along with, but he never expected them to act so domineeringly.

The first thing they said was a threat.

However, they cannot afford to offend such important figures.

The other party has the right to legally plunder at sea.

All they could do was appease the other party and try their best not to offend them...

'Pop pop pop...'

Just then, the telephone in Espaguhai rang.

This made Espagu frown even more, and he quickly pulled the telephone bug out of his pocket, trying to turn it off.

After all, they were still discussing matters with a big shot like "Tyrant Dragon" Hanafuda, so they couldn't possibly ignore him and answer the phone in front of him...

This is very rude and could anger the other person.

The other person doesn't seem to have a good temper...

But I was a little too slow; just as I picked up the telephone, it connected by itself…

After the call connected, a voice came through the telephone: "Mayor, a ship made by Adam Treasure Tree has arrived at Shipyard One."

"Due to the high price of this ship and the issues involving the keel, we need you and a few shipwrights to come and inspect it..."

"Okay, I understand. We'll be there in a bit."

Aisbagu responded and then quickly hung up the phone.
