He's a pirate, but also a Pokémon Master.

The City of Seven Waters.

This mega-city is a rare large island in the ocean.

Unlike the islands commonly found on the sea, the city features a complex network of waterways, resembling Venice on Earth.

It is also a famous shipbuilding base, and many excellent ships are produced here.

Therefore, Guxin's next stop was decided to be Water City.

In this world of water, you can't move an inch without a boat.

Since we've decided to head towards the summit, how can we do it without a good ship?

Coincidentally, the water train passes through four stations: Water City, Queen of Spring City, Food City, and Carnival City.

So he and Van Augur arrived by water train.

At the same time, a brand new gestation bar appears, which means that he can welcome a new Pokémon partner here.

Water Seven, as the name suggests, is closely related to water; perhaps it's associated with a Water-type Pokémon?

Guxin walked down the street, Van Augur lagging behind by half a step, seemingly leisurely, but actually secretly observing every corner.

Make sure he can react immediately to any movement.

He believed this was the quality a qualified sniper should possess.

Gardevoir, on the other hand, accompanied Guxin on the other side, like a naive young lady from a wealthy family, curious about everything she saw.

Pokémon are individual creatures, and most of the time they prefer to be outside, just like Ash's Pikachu.

Therefore, Guxin doesn't deliberately keep them out, but treats them like family and partners.

of course there are exceptions.

For example, Snorlax loves to sleep.

To others, Gardevoir is just a rare species.

After all, there are all sorts of races in this world, such as fish-men, mink-men, and so on.

A delicious aroma wafted from the roadside, and Guxin stopped in front of a barbecue stall.

The owner was short and had a receding hairline. He was fanning away the smoke with a fan, and the grill was neatly arranged with skewers of barbecue, which were the source of the aroma.

Seeing Guxin stop, the Mediterranean-looking boss quickly smiled and said:

"Hey buddy, how about a skewer? This is a specialty of our Water City! Grilled watery meat, it's delicious."

Watery meat is a specialty of the city of seven waters. It is shaped like a round balloon filled with water, and when you squeeze it gently, you can hear a clear splashing sound.

Because it contains a large amount of oil and water, it is a rare delicacy that can only be found in the City of Seven Waters.

Especially when grilled, it tastes absolutely amazing.

After roasting, the meat releases a lot of oil. After removing the excess oil and water, it undergoes a Maillard reaction over the flame, forming an enticing brown and crispy crust on the outside, while effectively locking in the moisture inside.

Gu Xin pondered for a moment, then said, "Let's start with twenty servings."

They are not ordinary people; a meal for twenty people is just a taste.

He and Snorlax count as two people, making a total of four, so each person gets five portions.

"Okay!"

When the big customer arrived, the Mediterranean owner became even more enthusiastic, filling every space on the grill with meat skewers, filling the air with their aroma.

While waiting, Gu Xin didn't forget his business and asked, "Boss, I want to buy a good boat. Do you have any recommendations?"

The Mediterranean businessman spoke eloquently: "Sir, you're clearly an expert. You've come to the right place to buy a boat in Seven Waters."

"We live in an area surrounded by water, and we rely on boats for daily travel, so our shipbuilding technology is naturally excellent."

"There are many shipyards of all sizes here, but Carrera is the most recommended."

"The company's president is also our mayor, Mr. Iceberg, who is the apprentice of the legendary shipwright Mr. Tom."

Tom is the builder of the water train, a respectable man, but unfortunately he was sentenced to death for building a ship for the Pirate King.

This is something that everyone knows.

But Gushin knew that this was not the real reason for Tom's death.

In fact, Tom possesses the blueprints for the ancient weapon "Pluto," which is said to be able to destroy an island with a single shot, making it a terrifying warship with extremely high destructive power.

The World Government has gone to great lengths to obtain this blueprint, and has secretly placed countless people in Water Seven to monitor it.

But it was all for naught.

Guxin remembered that Tom gave the blueprint to Iceberg, and then Iceberg gave it to his junior, Frankie, for safekeeping.

Theoretically, he could get the blueprints for Hades from Franky, but the risk is too great.

He currently lacks the ability to confront world governments.

Let's buy a good boat first, and then gradually implement the plan.

According to his plan, once he had his own ship, he would head to the first half of the Grand Line.

The key point is Alabasta, a special place that holds considerable significance both in the original work and in reality.

He had every reason to believe that a powerful Pokémon could be bred there.

Besides, the medically renowned Drum Island, the ancient-looking garden, the dreamlike Sky Island... are all places worth looking forward to. He wants to visit them one by one to strengthen his power!

Before I knew it, the barbecue was ready.

A total of 18000 Berries.

Each skewer of barbecue features large chunks of juicy meat paired with vegetables, the glistening oil sizzling and looking incredibly tempting.

Take a small bite of Guxin, and you'll find the meat tender, bouncy, and melts in your mouth. The rich juices fill your entire mouth, and paired with the unique sauce, the pleasure travels from the tip of your tongue to the center of your brain.

As expected of food from the world of anime, this is a delicacy that I could never have tasted in my previous life. It's so delicious that it's like it's been iced on, making it irresistible.

He had tasted many delicacies during these three months, and he was willing to guarantee that this Shui Shui Rou barbecue would be among the top delicacies even in a food court known for its delicious food.

This price is really not expensive.

Gu Xin can feel the food quickly transforming into a warm current within his body, nourishing every corner and improving his physical condition.

After finishing their meal, Guxin and his companion arrived at the Carrera Company, which the Mediterranean boss had mentioned. It was an impressive building.

Gu Xin first stated his purpose for coming, and then casually showed off his wealth, after which he was warmly invited to the dock.

At this moment, Barry, the famous shipwright of Dock One, is here.

Guided by the staff, Gusin met Barry in front of a sailboat that was about to be completed.

He was a blond man with orange goggles, a cigar dangling from his mouth, and a stubble of stubble.

He was wearing a blue denim jacket over a yellow T-shirt with white concentric circles in the middle.

"Want a good boat?" Barry muttered, then took the cigar from his mouth, exhaled a thick cloud of smoke, "That depends on your budget."

Gusin picked up two large boxes: "Is 100 million Berries enough?"

He had over 90 million Berries, while Van Augur was not a person who had the habit of saving money and did not have much money on him, so the two of them together had only 100 million Berries.

"One hundred million? With that budget, I can introduce you to some very good ships." Upon hearing that Guxin wanted to spend one hundred million to buy a ship, Barry's tone immediately changed, becoming much more enthusiastic.
