Pirate: I am King Luffy

Shirahoshi nodded firmly, a smile on his round face amidst his tears.

King Neptune reluctantly followed Shirahoshi to meet Uta and the others.

"When are you going to leave? I want to prepare a lot of things for my daughter, including food and clothes. A mermaid of her size must be short of food and clothes in the human world. Please allow me to make adequate preparations!"

As soon as he saw Uta and the others, the king's tears immediately burst into tears again.

"Your Majesty! What happened?" the nearby soldiers asked in shock.

"No...it's okay..."

"Please don't worry. If Princess Shirahoshi wants to board the ship, I would like to modify the hull. Is there any craftsman on Fishman Island who is familiar with ships and coatings?"

"Yes." Neptune nodded.

"He is also the younger brother of the number one shipbuilder in the human world."

"The world's best shipbuilder?" Dashiqi wondered.

"...brother?" Nami was shocked.

"I heard about it in the Seven Water City. It was Mr. Tom. We rode his invention, the sea train!" Uta exclaimed.

"Tom is a merman with horns, and his brother is a wolf merman. He is a shipbuilder and researcher of the Sea Forest on the Fishman Island." King Neptune introduced. He usually guards the restricted area, and no one knows where he went last time.

"A scholar from the Sea Forest? Looks like a botanist?" Robin said, holding up her hair.

Neptune laughed dryly. He didn't know about this and didn't care.

He couldn't understand any of what the scholars said.

"Lead the navy ships from the port to the Sea Forest." The king instructed the right minister.

An enormous round-headed whale flew into the air from the nearby sea and then fell to the ground.

Nami touched the whale's skin affectionately, "No matter how many times I see it, I still think this big whale is so cute~"

"Shark, shark~" A huge shark also emerged from the sea, surrounded Shirahoshi, rubbed its head against Shirahoshi's lower abdomen, begging for caress.

Shirahoshi gently scratched the shark's white belly, which according to common sense should be the neck area, and the shark made a "shark, shark" sound in comfort.

This method... Luffy looked at the two of them and felt like it was a larger version of Nami playing with a fish.

The same technique.

Seeing that everyone was being petted by their owners, Kalu, who was following Vivi around, also touched Vivi with his head, then squatted down and waited for his owner to pet her.

"Good boy, Kalu~" Weiwei patted Kalu's head.

Luffy suddenly felt a complex wave of emotions coming over him.

The manatee Moo was originally ready to follow happily, but for a moment he didn't know who to look for, so he had to stay in the sea, with his bull head exposed, looking at them eagerly.

"……"What should I say.

"There are more animals on the ship." Nojigo couldn't help but complain.

Riding on means of transportation such as whales and sharks, it took several hours to fly to the Sea Forest, where Luffy's Hero had already stopped.

Luffy saw from afar in the sky that there was a tall mermaid on the boat. She was wearing a dark hat, thick-framed glasses and earrings, and had thick hair. She looked gentle and somewhat strong. She was standing by the boat, watching the maid robot sweeping the deck.

There are some shipwreck fragments around the Hero. I think they are the shipwrecks that broke in through an illegal passage and then failed and fell here.

"Dan!" King Neptune slowly lowered the whale.

"Your Majesty, I am deeply awed."

Dan saw King Neptune's mount fall down and spoke respectfully and gently.

"This ship looks like a navy ship. It must be the ship of the navy hero, Luffy."

Dan had already taken a look around the hull beforehand, "The integrity and coating of the ship are basically intact. I wonder what you need my help with, Your Majesty."

"Are you Mr. Tom's brother?" Uta looked at Dan and exclaimed.

"The blood relationship of fish people is so complicated, they really don't look alike at all."

Although I have never seen Mr. Tom, his legend has always been in the Seven Waters and on the Sea Train.

"Yes, that's how we fishmen are, Miss Uta."

"Long time no see, Dan." Jinbei greeted him with a smile.

King Neptune turned his gaze towards Luffy.

Luffy turned his gaze towards Nami.

Nami was stunned for two seconds, then suddenly realized something and took out the remote control from her chest.

As the mechanism was activated, the dome of the Machinery slowly opened, revealing the lawn and spacious swimming pool behind.

"A mechanical ship? It uses a lot of steel, which will have a certain impact on the speed of the ship."

This extremely advanced naval craft did not attract much attention from Dan.

"I want to expand the swimming pool structure on the ship. Uh... the ship's transmission device also needs major changes..."

Mechanical ships are very convenient to use, but if the hull needs to be modified, many mechanism positions need to be relocated.

Luffy thought about it for a moment and then blushed, and started drawing again.

Can the boatmen work it out together?

"Oh, so that's how it is. Then how many meters does it need to be expanded?" Dan nodded.

"Is this really a warship? It looks like a sightseeing vessel designed for comfort." It was the first time that Jinbei saw Luffy's ship, and he couldn't help but be amazed.

"I've been watching human shipwrecks here for so many years, but this is the first time I've seen one like this." Dan nodded in agreement.

"After all, this is a home where I will stay for a long time, so I personally prefer comfort first."

"As for the expansion..." Luffy referred to Shirahoshi's room and shrunk it.

Dan couldn't help but look sideways at Luffy.

What do you need such a big swimming pool for? This is a warship.

"I can do the modification. Give it to me, including the remote control. Do you have the blueprints for the construction mechanism? It's okay if you can't find it. It will just be more convenient."

"Really?" Luffy was about to go find the design drawings of the Hero, but he didn't want to move after hearing this.

"Without the blueprints, it would take me about a week to complete the renovation. In addition, I would need enough people to do the work."

A strange feeling arose in Luffy's heart.

The masterpiece of him and the shipbuilders of the Seven Water City, currently the top shipbuilding technology in the human world, may be mediocre here.

The so-called feeling of encountering a genius.

"No problem." Luffy nodded.

Stay on the island for another week.

"Also, I need to tell you that the bottom of this ship seems to have been made with a very special process. I cannot start work on the bottom of the ship. In terms of defense, the ship will be weaker after the modification than before."

Dan knocked on the bottom of the Hero.

"That's seastone craftsmanship, a creation from Vegapunk." Tashigi answered smoothly.

"I forgot, this is confidential!" She suddenly slapped her head in shock.

"The most powerful genius in the human world? No wonder there is a structure that I can't do anything about." Dan nodded as a matter of course.

"Defensiveness doesn't matter." Warships don't have much defensive capabilities anyway. Their purpose is to be blown up and to highlight how powerful the pirates are.

Luffy always tries his best to intercept attacks outside the ship.

"Then it doesn't matter." Dan found a hammer nearby and knocked on it all over the Hero, as if he was probing the hull structure to prepare for the starting position.

"Well, I have to go prepare for my daughter. Bye." Neptune said to Luffy and the others, and set off for the next stop.

"Father, please leave the preparations for my sister to us. We will do our best to make the best preparations!"

Sharkstar said to Neptune from the whale's back.

"No, I want to invite that person myself, so that White Star's safety can be better protected." Neptune said seriously.

"You mean... we're going to ask that person?" Huangxing and Fanchexing asked in shock.

On Fishman Island, there are not many people who can make King Neptune personally take action.

You just need to filter them out according to the elimination method.

"Well...that person." Neptune nodded seriously.

The whale flew to the southeast of the island.

……

"Mr. Dan..." Dashiqi hesitated.

Given how isolated Fishman Island is from the outside world, it's probably difficult for people here to know what's happening outside, so maybe Dan doesn't know enough about that matter.

"What's wrong, Miss Navy?"

Dan twirled the hammer and looked toward Dashigi.

"Um... there is something I want to tell you, about Mr. Tom..."

Dashigi said hesitantly.

"is it?"

"Are you talking about the incident in which the world government sentenced him to death for breaking a taboo?" Dan paused and asked her gently.

"You knew about this?" Dashiqi asked in surprise.

"Well, I received a letter from Granny Kokoro, the stationmaster of the Seven Waters City, who is also a mermaid, so I know a little bit about it."

Dan found the right position, and flew towards the Hero with his lower body dancing like a snake, ready to start work.

Tom, the world's best shipbuilder, was sentenced to death for using the precious tree "Adam" as wood to help Roger build the "Oro Jackson". He was then given the right to atone for his crime by building a sea train, but he did not use this right for himself.

"What's wrong? Why do you have such a complicated expression?" Dan asked with a smile.

"I believe that the craftsman who forged the sword is innocent, and the one who used the sword to do evil is the main culprit, so I am very sorry!"

-

Regarding Cavendish, he has his own ship, and Luffy's ship can't fit so many people, so don't worry, it is positioned as a flanking ship.

Chapter 482 The King's Request

After a moment's silence, the fishman with earrings turned around and gave a gentle smile.

"That's none of your business. I won't blame you."

"It is common to vent anger on others, just like we fishmen vent our anger on the entire human world. However, it is wrong to do so."

"How's the Sea Train going?" Dan asked.

"It's very convenient and fast, it's amazing. The suspended ladder floats on the sea, and the train moves along the sea track. Once it reaches high speed, it is said that even the sea god can penetrate it. It can quickly transport relief supplies from nearby islands to the Seven Waters City..."

Dashiqi described the scene when she first took the sea train.

"Then I'm relieved. Brother's dream... is still going well."

"Is this ship modified to accommodate mermaids?" Dan asked about the ship's modification.

"Yes, Shirahoshi will travel with us." Nami nodded.

"Princess? It's as if I saw Lady Otohime again."

Dan was thinking about the recent spread of the Otohime incident on Fishman Island.

No one expected that it was the fish-man who hired someone to murder Princess Otohime, and gathered a large number of fish-man pirates to try to rebuild an underwater kingdom.

If Hodi really succeeds, that man will declare war on the entire human world without hesitation, right?

"I would say that if it is purely for pleasure, there is no need for a deep transformation. It is already at the level of a large cruise ship."

"Just leave this matter to me! I want to do my part for Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

He smiled.
