Pirates: From Vice Captain to Lord of the Dead

"And I'm going to find a gold exchange. I want to turn all the gold I got from Sky Island into cash!"

Nami, who was standing beside her, smiled and said, "It's a good opportunity to make some good things for the Merry."

"Water Seven City, is this our next destination?" Sanji walked forward and put down a fruit platter.

"Well, it's almost time anyway, so it doesn't hurt to tell you." Reiner put down the paper and pen, picked up a piece of mango flesh and said:

“The Seven Waters Capital is a famous and prosperous water city on the Grand Waterway, with many specialties and products. You can slowly experience them when you get there.

"More importantly, there is a world-class shipyard there. The ship of Pirate King Roger was designed and built by the shipbuilders there."

"The Pirate King's ship!"

Hearing Reiner's words, Luffy on the deck was excited and stretched his head closer, "It sounds amazing!"

"Yes, the Or Jackson." Reiner nodded and put the mango flesh into his mouth. "There are world-class shipbuilders gathered there."

"great!"

Luffy's chin caught on the guardrail and his whole body snapped up from the deck. "Maybe we can find a shipwright to come aboard."

"I agree! I should have thought of this earlier!" Usopp immediately agreed happily:

"I'm not a real boat builder. I have to fix it every time something breaks. It's better to find a real boat builder."

"Hehehe, because you, Usopp, are more dexterous." Luffy laughed and praised exaggeratedly.

"Ahem, of course. There's nothing I can't do."

"Then it's decided. Let's go recruit a shipwright to join the ship!"

Luffy announced his decision loudly, paused and said, "By the way, find another musician to board the ship!"

Just then, a sound came and attracted the attention of several people.

"Woooo!!"

Hearing the sound, several people turned their heads and looked sideways, and saw a long black shadow flying across the sea at an extremely fast speed.

"What is that? A boat?"

"That's not right. There is no such a long ship."

"It's a train, but it's running on the sea?" question marks popped up in the heads of several people.

"That's the Sea Train, but I didn't gather much information before." Reiner recognized the steel beast that was speeding across the sea and said lightly,

"All we know is that it's a steam train that runs along a track built on the sea. It's worth mentioning that it was designed and invented by Master Tom, the shipwright who built the ship for the Pirate King."

"It was invented by the shipwright of One Piece!" Luffy suddenly became excited, "Quick! Let's catch up and take a look!"

"How can I catch up, idiot?"

Reiner said speechlessly, pointing in the direction where the train was heading, where there was a lighthouse, "Let's go over there and take a look."

Soon, the rudder turned, and the Merry tilted slightly off course and arrived at the lighthouse.

There is a small wooden house below the lighthouse. Standing at the door is a little girl with blonde hair, round face, bright lipstick and pigtails. A blue-haired rabbit with long ears tied up is squatting at its feet.

When the little girl saw them approaching, she immediately ran into the house and screamed, "Oh no! There are pirates, Granny Kokoro, the pirates are coming!"

"Coming!" A figure holding a bottle of wine walked out of the house in response.

Under the long golden curly hair, a loose face with heavy makeup and a huge beer belly walked out.

Just as he was about to step out the door, he kicked the threshold directly.

boom!

Kokoro was tripped and lying on the ground. He raised his head drunkenly and asked the little girl with a confused look on his face:

"Eh? What am I here for?"

"He's actually an alcoholic!!"

Several people on the boat dropped their jaws in shock and shouted, "He's drunk like this in broad daylight! Can he really watch over the lighthouse? This is too unreliable!"

Reiner looked at the woman called Granny Kokoro, and some memories came to his mind. He vaguely remembered that she was a mermaid, but...

Looking at the chin that was integrated with the neck, and the beer belly, it was really strange for a mermaid.

Oh~~, Reiner couldn't help but sigh. Should he tell Sanji? He felt a little reluctant.

Several people jumped off the boat, and Nami walked over to help Kokoro up, "Are you okay, old lady? We just saw a train passing by here, so we came to check it out."

"How rude, little girl. Who are you calling an old woman? Gululu~"

Kokoro grinned, tilted his head back and took a sip of wine before looking at them, "You are talking about the Smoky Tom, right?"

"Smoking Tom? That's the ship. No, is that the name of the train?" Nami asked casually, helping the other person sit down on the chair and then stepped back.

"That's right!"

The blonde girl at the side rushed to answer, looking very lively, "It's amazing! A train running on the sea. And, my name is Chimney."

"Hello, my name is Luffy."

Luffy introduced himself with a grin, and then asked, "Where does that train go?"

"It departs from the Seven Waters City and will pass through the town of the Queen of Spring - Saint Poplar, the gourmet town Pucci, and the Carnival Town."

Kokoro grinned and answered Luffy directly, then raised his head and took a sip of wine, saying:

"The train tracks also connect to Judicial Island, and there is a special train that goes there."

"Is that so? Then let's go to Food Town!" Luffy said to himself with his hands on his hips.

duang!

Nami punched him directly on the head and said angrily, "Didn't we agree to go to the Seven Water Capital to Xiumeri?"

"Oh, yes, yes, let's forget it." Luffy waved his hands awkwardly.

"Um, Granny Kokoro." Reiner approached Kokoro with a sly look in his eyes.

"The Holy Poplar you just mentioned is the Spring Queen Town."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I know what you mean young man."

Granny Kokoro glanced at him teasingly, "Just...Are you sure it's the right time to ask, little brother?"

Before Granny Kokoro finished her words, blinding blue-white lightning appeared.

——Sizzle!!

Update Issues

Recently it's been four days a day, and two thousand per chapter is too short, so I put it together. I will resume six days a day (three thousand per chapter) before the end of the National Day.

Chapter 102 Water City, Robin ties up Zoro?

"What a horrible little girl."

Kokoro turned to look at Nami, ignoring the young man lying at his feet, his body charred and smoking.

"Come to think of it, you guys are going to the Seven Waters City to repair the ship, right?"

"Yes, it is said that the shipbuilding technology there is world-class." Nami nodded in response, and the electric light on her hand gradually disappeared.

"Of course, hahaha. It seems you guys understand a little bit."

Kokoro grinned, and the golden curls on his back trembled, "Seven Water City started out in this business, and it is definitely the world's top shipyard.

"The ships they build are used by governments all over the world. It is also a gathering place for famous shipbuilders from all over the world."

"That would be awesome."

Luffy raised his hand and clenched his fist excitedly, "We are going there to recruit shipbuilders. Do you know who the best shipbuilder is? We are going to find him to join the ship!"

"You have good taste. As for the best shipwright I know."

At this point, Granny Kokoro paused, raised the bottle and drank it down until she had finished half the bottle. Then she laughed and said:

"He's been dead for many years, hahahaha, you guys are pirates, it's not easy to get people on board,

"You'll have to find it on your own. I think you and the boatmen there will probably get along well."

"Is that so? That's true, hahaha." Luffy put the straw hat on his head and grinned.

"However, I can write a letter of introduction for you. Wait for me." Grandma Kokoro said and turned to walk into the house.

After a while, she took out a letter and a piece of paper, handed them to Nami and said, “The shipbuilding company there is called Carrera.

"Give this to them, maybe you can get it cheaper. The other one is a map of the Seven Waters."

"Oh, thank you so much, grandma."

Nami took the envelope and map with a smile, feeling more at ease. "If I have a letter of introduction, people will be more dedicated and do their best."

"Hahaha, then you underestimate the boatmen there."

Granny Kokoro laughed, sat back in her chair and waved her hands, "I'm just afraid that people won't want to take the job, but as long as they take the job,

"Even if there is no letter of introduction, they will definitely take responsibility to the end. You can rest assured about this. Those people are definitely worthy of the title of shipbuilders."

"Is that so?"

Nami couldn't help but be stunned. Since the other party was so bold and confident, it seemed that this world-class reputation must be backed by real skills.

This also made everyone feel more at ease and they looked forward to the Seven Water Capital even more.

After all, that was the Merry, which had carried them all the way from the East China Sea to here, and the ship had become "battered and bruised".

All of them have deep feelings for the Merry and usually take good care of the ship.

Only then did Reiner get up from the ground, smoothed his golden hair, patted his clothes, walked back to the crowd, turned around and smiled at Kokoro:

"Anyway, thank you, mother-in-law. Let us give you some gifts in return."

After that, several undead took some things down from the boat, including a few bottles of wine and some fruits.

After handing over the wine, Reiner opened two coconuts as hard as iron sheets, inserted straws into them and gave them to the little girl Chimney and the rabbit.

"This is what we brought down from Sky Island. You can try it."

"Sky Island? Is it an island in the sky, brother?"
