Franky took the letter, read it carefully, and then handed it back to Al. He said arrogantly: "If you want to build a ship, go to Carrera Company. I only accept commissions for shipbreaking."

Al was not affected by Franky's attitude, but opened the five boxes on the table, revealing the berries piled inside. "Here are five hundred million. I hope you can buy two pieces of Adam's Treasure Tree wood to help me and Captain Luffy build a new ship each."

Franky's eyes suddenly became excited. He stared at the huge sum of money in front of him, and a happy smile appeared on his face.

He quickly and happily accepted the money, "Then I won't be polite, you just wait for my good news."

Al looked at Franky's insincere but eager to take the money, smiled slightly, and continued: "Then I will wait for your good news."

Luffy saw that Al had already settled the matter, and couldn't wait to invite Franky, "Franky, I'm Luffy, and I'm going to be the Pirate King. Do you want to join us?"

Franky was counting the berries in the box. He was stunned for a moment when he heard Luffy's words, then shook his head and refused: "I'm sorry, I'm not interested in going to sea."

After that, he picked up the locked cash box and said to Al and Luffy: "I will leave now to the nearby black market to buy wood from the treasure tree Adam. You go back first."

Franky walked out the door carrying the box, his steps seemed a little hurried.

Luffy looked at his figure, thinking in his mind how to make Franky change his mind.

After leaving Franky's House, Weiwei asked Al, "Captain, did he agree to help us build a ship?"

Al smiled and shook his head. "I guess he has no such plan. He probably just thinks we are his scapegoats. But considering his love for ships, it shouldn't be a problem for him to buy the wood from Adam the treasure tree."

When Luffy heard this, he immediately became angry and clenched his fists. "What a hateful guy! He actually cheated us out of our money?"

Al quickly stopped Luffy who was about to return to Franky's House to take back Berry, "Don't be impulsive, Luffy. As long as he buys the wood, it will be fine. If we really want to build a ship, we still have to ask Aspago for help."

"Why?" Luffy asked in confusion, "Didn't you say that Franky's shipbuilding technology is also world-class?"

"Franky is good at making ships with various mechanical weapons, which may be suitable for you, but what I require of the ship is its durability and stability, and Mr. Aspagu is better at this aspect." Al explained.

The sun shines on the streets of the City of Seven Waters, adding a bit of vitality to this busy city.

There were a constant stream of people on the street. El asked Sanji to help buy the ingredients needed for the banquet, and then took Robin and Vivi to Carrera Company.

The others returned to the boat and kept Berry safe to prevent him from being snatched away by others.

The Carrera Company sign hangs high on a large building, making it particularly eye-catching.

As they walked into the company's door, a receptionist politely asked them what they were here for.

"Hello, we were introduced by Mr. Aspagu's friend. Please inform Mr. Aspagu for me." Al said.

The receptionist nodded, then contacted them through Den Den Mushi and guided them into a spacious and bright office.

Aspagu was sitting at his desk, reviewing the drawings carefully.

Behind him stood Khalifa, who was wearing a professional secretary outfit with a short black skirt and long boots.

Seeing Al and his group coming in, he stood up with a gentle smile on his face.

"Welcome, I'm Aspagu, how can I help you?" His voice was steady and powerful.

Al briefly explained his purpose, but he hid Tom's affairs from Kalifa, and then handed over a letter of introduction from Granny Kokoro.

Aspagu took the letter, read it carefully, and then tore it into pieces.

"I see. Since it's Granny Kokoro's recommendation, I will naturally do my best to help. What kind of boat do you need?"

Al described his requirements for the new ship in detail, and Aspagu nodded after listening.

“It’s a nice challenge, but I believe we can do it.”

"We have already commissioned someone to purchase timber from the precious tree Adam, hoping to use this timber as the main material for shipbuilding. The planks of our original ship are also of excellent quality. If possible, I hope to dismantle them and install them on the new ship."

At this time, Kalifa walked up to Aspago and whispered to him, "These two are Eru, who replaced Crocodile as the new Shichibukai, and Princess Nefert Vivi of Alabasta, but the masked woman cannot know for the time being."

Aspagu smiled knowingly upon hearing this. "I see, Kalifa, you are so capable. You found their information so quickly. Please help me get some tea and snacks to entertain them."

Kalifa nodded, turned and left the office.

When her footsteps faded away, Aspagu asked in a low voice: "Is there anything else you want? If it was just ordinary shipbuilding, Granny Kokoro wouldn't write me such a letter."

Al smiled slightly and said calmly, "We were asked by Uncle Tom's former companions to come here to pay tribute to him. I have already looked for Franky, and he was also entrusted to buy the wood of the Adam Treasure Tree. In addition, the one next to me is Robin you are looking for."

There was a flash of surprise in Aspago's eyes, and he looked at Robin wearing the mask in disbelief.

At Al's signal, Robin gently flipped open the mask, revealing her true face.

After confirming Robin's identity, Aspago's expression became somewhat complicated, with a hint of loss in his eyes.

"Granny Kokoro will be back soon, so you can go with her then," Aspagu said in a low voice, "There are too many government officials around me watching me, so it's not convenient for me to move around."

Just then, Al noticed that Kalifa had started to return, and he quickly gestured to remind everyone.

Robin immediately covered his face with the mask again and returned to his previous mysterious appearance.

Aspagu took out a blank blueprint from the table and said to them, "Let me design the blueprint for you personally this time. Come back tomorrow to see if the blueprint meets your requirements. It will probably take another two days for the wood from the Adam Treasure Tree to arrive."

Kalifa returned to the office with tea and snacks and placed them on the table. "Enjoy your meal," she said politely, then stepped aside.

Aspagu put down the pen in his hand, smiled and said to the three people: "Okay, let's take a break first. We still have a lot of time to discuss the details."

Chapter 36 Defeat CP9 (Please recommend and collect)

After Al, Robin and Weiwei left Carrera Company, Robin asked Al, "Captain Al, why did he come to find me? And why is he hanging my wanted poster in his office?"

El looked back at Robin, "Because they have the design drawings of 'Pluto', one of the three ancient weapons. I told you about this when I was in Alabasta. And there are not many people in this world who can decipher those ancient historical texts, and you are the most famous one."

Robin nodded, a complicated look flashing in his eyes.

The three of them made their way through the bustling crowd and returned to the ship docked at the port.

Sanji had already purchased a large amount of ingredients and was busy preparing for the banquet in the evening.

"Welcome back!" Nami greeted him with a smile, "Sanji bought a lot of delicious food, we have to celebrate tonight!"

Everyone was busy in the open space in front of the two ships. The air was filled with the aroma of barbecue and the taste of fine wine.

Usopp and Chopper were playing excitedly nearby, laughing happily from time to time.

As night fell, the bonfire was lit, the flames jumped in the night, illuminating everyone's face.

"Cheers to everyone's new ship!" Luffy raised his glass and shouted.

"Cheers!" Everyone responded in unison. The sound of the cups clinking was crisp and pleasant, echoing on this joyful beach.

Al drank only a little and put the glass down. Weiwei, who was watching him, came over and asked, "What's wrong, Al? Is there something wrong?"

Al smiled slightly and whispered, "I'm going to the city later. Something might happen tonight. You should be careful at night."

Weiwei nodded, her smile looked particularly beautiful in the firelight, "No problem, just go ahead."

After finishing the food in his hand, Al stood up, said goodbye to everyone, and left the banquet.

Nami walked over to Vivi and asked with concern, "Why is El gone?"

Weiwei replied softly, "Something might happen tonight, and he needs to go out to deal with it. He also asked us to be careful at night."

"Then let's all sleep together tonight," Nami decided happily.

After returning to the city of Seven Waters, he took out a few Berries and asked the drunkards on the roadside, and found Aspagu's home.

Khalifa has revealed her identity today at the shipyard.

It is still unknown whether the World Government already knows that Robin is on his ship.

After all, she hadn't paid much attention to her in Alabasta before, so perhaps her figure had been discovered by Tina's navy.

The safety of the ship is ensured by the devil fruit abilities of Nami and the others and the cooperation of Rokushiki, so there is nothing to be afraid of even if all members of CP9 attack.

But what El is more worried about is that Bruno might use the Door-Door Fruit to launch a sneak attack on Aspago.

All he had to do was stop Bruno if he really intended to take action.

Al sat on the roof of Aspagu's house, enjoying the cool breeze, holding a bottle of fine wine in his hand, waiting quietly.

The night is as dark as ink, with twinkling stars, and the hustle and bustle of the city gradually subsides.

Suddenly, he perceived a figure in the room below him.

After confirming through the window that the person coming was Bruno disguised as the bar owner, Al quickly shaved into the room and blocked Bruno's shooting path.

"Shave? Who are you?" Bruno looked at Al in front of him, with a hint of surprise and confusion in his eyes.

Al did not respond to his question, but said in a cold voice: "You ignorant little thief, you actually attacked the president of the World Government's shipbuilding company, don't even think about leaving today."

The sound of someone breaking into the room woke Aspagu up. He sat up suddenly from the bed and saw two figures in the room. He immediately became alert.

Moonlight poured into the room through the broken window, illuminating the figures of the two people confronting each other.

El's armament domineering covered his entire body, and every punch and kick carried great power.

Bruno seemed very powerless under his attack and tried several times to use the power of the Door-Door Fruit to open a space gate and escape, but El was always able to predict his movements with his Observation Haki and interrupt him in time.

After a few rounds, Al hit Bruno in the abdomen with a heavy punch, causing him to kneel on the ground in pain. Then, Al kicked Bruno again, causing him to fall unconscious and faint on the ground.

"Al, what's going on?" Aspagu stood up and turned on the light, checking Bruno's appearance, his face full of confusion.

"He's an undercover agent of CP9, and it looks like they're preparing to take action against you," Al explained.

"People from the government, why did they attack me?" Aspagu asked in confusion.

"It's probably because of the Pluto design in Franky's hand."

"Why do you know all this?" Aspagu looked at Al with vigilance.

"Don't worry, I have no interest in Pluto. I know where the last Pluto is now. I came to the Seven Waters City only to pay tribute to Uncle Tom and ask you to help us build a ship. As a reward, I will find out all of CP9."

After finishing speaking, Al carried Bruno's body and left Aspagu's house quickly with moon steps.

Aspagu stood there, feeling mixed emotions.

However, he knew the situation was urgent, so he immediately began to pack his luggage and prepared to hide in a hotel outside.

When Al returned to the shore where the ship was docked, he found lightning flashing there and the battle had already broken out. Rob Lucci was leading the CP9 members in a fierce battle with Nami and her group.

With the ability of the Thunder Fruit, Nami is surrounded by blue electric light. Combined with the six-style techniques, each attack is accompanied by a strong electric current.

Although Rob Lucci is very powerful, he seems to be struggling under Nami's attack, and the two of them are fighting fiercely.

Tashigi holds the Shigure Sword in her hand, with a cold glow on the blade, and the battle between her and Kaku is inextricable.

The two men fought back and forth, the flashes of swords and the shadows of sabers intertwined, and every collision made a crisp metallic sound.

Kaya, the ship's doctor, uses the power of the Slippery-Slippery Fruit to render her opponent, Gabura, helpless.

Her body became extremely smooth and no attack could cause any harm to her.

Gabra seized the opportunity to attack several times, but each time he was slipped away by the power of the fruit, which made him more and more anxious.

Ke Ya, who was fighting with him, was more calm in his moves. He turned his gun into fists and attacked Jabhara continuously, making a sound of metal clashing.

Robin, Nojiko, and Vivi have defeated Kalifa, Owl, and Wedo.

Robin's eyes were fixed on the battlefield, ready to use the Hana-Han-Han Fruit to support her companions.

Luffy and his crew were also on high alert, ready to join the battle at any time if the situation became unfavorable.

Al glanced at the battlefield, confirmed everyone's status, and began to summon the system to create a new task.

[Mission name: Defeat CP9]

[Mission type: Battle]

[Mission Objective: Lead the crew to defeat all CP9 members]

[Quest Reward: Fusion of the abilities of the ship spirit, bow spirit, and pirate flag spirit]

After a crisp system prompt sounded, his task was officially created successfully.

Chapter 37 Design of the new ship (recommendation, collection)

In the following battle, Robin continued to use the power of the Hana-Hana Fruit to grow several arms behind the enemies and use finger guns to attack all parts of their bodies.

Her movements were as graceful as dancing, and every attack hit the vital points accurately.

Kaku and Gabra were quickly defeated by her constant interference.

Seeing this, Rob Lucci planned to get rid of Nami and rescue his companions.

However, Nojigo's barrier ability trapped him tightly, and no matter how he attacked, he could not break this invisible cage.

Seeing this, Nami unleashed a ball of lightning with maximum power. In an instant, the electric light filled the entire barrier.
