Along with Luffy and the others came the shipbuilding workers from Carrera Company.
After an inspection, Mr. Iceberg announced with regret:”The keel of this ship is damaged and it is difficult to repair it. However,……”
Mr. Iceberg glanced at the expectant crowd and said,”You can go find the mechanical pioneer Victor. He has mastered mechanical technology that is 800 years ahead of this world. He should be able to repair your ship.”
Usopp said excitedly,”800 years ahead of the world in mechanical technology? Isn’t that more powerful than Vegapunk?”
“If we only talk about physical technology, Mr. Victor is indeed better than Vegapunk.”Mr. Iceberg said.
Then Mr. Iceberg added:”But Mr. Victor’s whereabouts have always been mysterious. We only know that he has an underground base somewhere in Water City.
But I don’t know the exact location. If you want to repair this ship, you have to find him, and you have to convince Victor to help you.”
Hearing this, everyone was silent.
Usopp shouted firmly:”Merry is also our companion, I must find Victor!”
“That’s right!”
Luffy, as the captain, also nodded solemnly.
In the original plot, the reason why Luffy gave up the Merry was because he could not see any hope. In order to continue the adventure, he had to give up the Merry. But now there is a glimmer of hope. With Luffy’s character, how could he give up?
Mr. Iceberg laughed when he saw this scene. As the apprentice of the legendary shipwright Tom, Mr. Iceberg admired this kind of man who loved his ship the most.
How bad can a pirate group that loves its own ship be?
Mr. Iceberg said:”I really hope you can find Victor. I can guarantee that he will definitely find a way to repair the Merry.”
There was a flash of disdain in the eyes of Kalifa next to him. She didn’t think the Straw Hat Pirates could find Victor, let alone that Victor would help them.
The World Government had invited Victor before, but was rejected. They had also invited Victor to carry out a research project, but were also rejected.
273 How could a group of children convince a person who would be rejected by the World Government?
After confirming that he was powerless, Mr. Iceberg left with the people from Carrera Company.
Luffy and the others decided to spend the night on the ship first, and then go to look for the mysterious Mr. Victor tomorrow.
…………
“So why are you on my ship?” Luffy asked, looking at Nikko with an unhappy face.
Nikko explained seriously:”I was invited on board, so I am here to take a look.”
Hearing this, the Straw Hat Pirates turned their attention to Robin and Enelu.
After all, they were the ones in charge of watching over the ship, and if there was an invitation, it must have been from these two.
“I didn’t.”
Robin shook her head.
Enel also shook his head and said,”I didn’t invite her either. I don’t even know her.”
Hearing this, everyone turned their attention to Neeko again.
Neeko explained seriously,”It was the Merry that invited Neeko!” Nami, who felt she was fooled, roared angrily,”Asshole! What nonsense are you talking about! How could the Merry invite anyone? The Merry is just a ship!”
Sanji, with his hands in his pockets, was ready to attack.
“That’s right! If you don’t explain it well, don’t blame us for being merciless!”
“Wait!”
At this time Usopp suddenly stopped everyone.
Usopp said excitedly:”Did you see her too? The soul of the Merry?”
“”What!!!”
Everyone looked at Usopp in surprise. Could it be that something went wrong with this guy’s father?
Neeko nodded with a smile:”Yes!”
Facing the puzzled eyes of his friends, Usopp said very seriously:”I once saw the ship spirit repairing the Merry. When we couldn’t see it, the Merry was trying hard to help me!”
“Ah! Is that so?”
Luffy suddenly realized and did not doubt Usopp’s words.
“Great! We have a new companion. No! The Merry is our companion. No! We have to have a party tonight to celebrate!” Luffy announced excitedly. Robin whispered in disbelief:”The legendary ship spirit actually exists.”
Compared to other noobs, as a historical researcher, Robin knows many secrets of the sea, including the legend of the ship spirit.
“Speaking of this, I thought of something.”
Robin said suddenly.
The people who were originally preparing to celebrate looked at Robin curiously.
“Before you came back, we met a mysterious man who gave us a notebook left by a saint!”Robin smiled and raised the notebook in her hand.
Luffy announced excitedly,”Great! We have a story about the banquet. We will listen to the story of this notebook while we are at the banquet!”
Soon the Merry became lively, and everyone happily prepared for the banquet.
More than an hour later… the banquet officially began, and everyone who had eaten and drunk enough was looking forward to Robin translating the next contents of the notebook.
Under the expectant gaze of everyone, Robin stood up with a smile, then slowly opened the notebook and began to translate.
【Ship spirits, or ship elves, are a magical existence comparable to the Devil Fruit.
Legend has it that when the crew and the ship love each other, a ship spirit will be born. There is also a legend that the crew’s happy emotions can make the ship give birth to a ship spirit. Of these two speculations, I prefer the former. Robin, who translated this paragraph, suddenly realized:”It’s about the ship spirit. No wonder that person gave us this notebook. It turns out that he also discovered that the Merry had been born.���Ship elf?”
“I didn’t expect that my great grandfather had studied ship spirits. Maybe we can find a way to repair the Merry through this notebook.”Luffy guessed excitedly.
Robin didn’t say anything, she was afraid of disappointing everyone.
【I decided to personally create the ship spirit. First, I needed to build a ship, which was not a difficult task.
Then, the ship and the crew cared for each other. I didn’t know if caring with a purpose was real caring. Just in case, I decided to find a group of people who love ships to sail the ship to the Grand Line for adventure. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
Under my plan, a group of sailors who love both adventure and ships boarded the ship I named Exploration and headed for the sea.】
“Will it succeed?”
Robin thought expectantly.
“Will it work?”
Robin thought again, after all, the man can definitely do what he wants to do.
【Failed. Six years have passed, and the Expedition has not produced a ship spirit. Is it because these guys don’t love the Expedition enough? But that’s not right!
These guys obviously took good care of the Expedition. Is there another possibility? Is the ship spirit born from the emotions of the crew on the ship?
In this case, let’s proceed to the next experiment.】
“The birth of the ship spirit was not due to the first reason?”
Robin frowned. If it was not the mutual love between the crew and the ship, could it be the positive emotions on the ship?
【What are the positive emotions? Caring, happy, and positive? The Straw Hat Pirates in the plot do have these emotions, but they also meet the first guess of the birth of the ship spirit.
Now here comes the question, how could a group of pirates who burn, kill, plunder and commit all kinds of evil be full of positive emotions on their ship?
A pirate group like Luffy can be said to be a wonder in the history of pirates. The number of pirates who can be compared with him can probably be counted on one hand. 】
Nami said:”That saint really knew about us a long time ago, and even knew about the birth of the ship spirit on the Merry.”
Zoro:”It’s ironic and embarrassing to say that it’s our own ship that gave birth to the ship spirit, but we seem to be the last to know.”
Usopp said proudly:”I knew it a long time ago, it’s just that you can’t!”
Everyone:”……”
“Let’s continue watching. I feel like there will be a twist in this story.” Enelu reminded
【There are too few pirate groups that meet the requirements. After waiting for nearly 200 years, they finally found the experimental target.
The Rumba Pirates are a group of musicians. This pirate group should be like the Straw Hat Pirates. Rather than saying they are a group of pirates, it is better to say they are a sea music team.
Robin said in surprise:”This is actually a notebook within a hundred years!”
“What’s so strange about this? Isn’t the notebook that Luffy’s great-grandfather gave him also from the past 100 years?”Nami complained. Zoro said expressionlessly:”I’m just curious whether the Rumba Pirates succeeded.”
【Failed, from the Rumba Pirates���Until the Rumba Pirates were destroyed, no ship spirit had ever been born on their ship.
After discarding all the impossibilities, there is only one possibility: the conditions for the birth of a ship spirit need to meet the two previous speculations, not just one. So we can only wait for the Straw Hat Pirates 50 years later to prove it.】
“I actually failed.”
Robin frowned, but at the same time he was a little proud.
The Straw Hat Pirates, who could give birth to the ship spirit, were indeed special. As a member of the Straw Hat Pirates, I felt honored.
【It’s incredible! Although the real body didn’t come, through perception, I found that the ship spirit of the Merry was born, and it took less than a year.
This is simply outrageous! Isn’t this speed too fast? At the same time, I am sure of one thing, that is, the emotions of this world are indeed powerful.】
“”Hiss~”
When the translation reached this point, everyone gasped.
The meaning of this sentence was too important. It turned out that their adventure had been under the observation of that person.
Usopp asked with some fear:”Do you think Luffy’s great grandfather is watching me in the underworld now?”
Everyone felt creepy when they heard this.
“”Fuck! Can you please not be so scary when you talk!” Sanji looked at Usopp speechlessly.
Being watched by someone in the underworld, what a ridiculous description.
At this time, Zoro added seriously:”It doesn’t necessarily have to be in the underworld”
“Don’t add to this kind of thing!”
Nami complained with a dark face.
Robin’s face was also slightly dark:”For women, this kind of observation is not polite at all!”
Boys are better, as women on the ship, being observed is not a good thing. Maybe they are all seen by the observer now.
Frightened Usopp asked cautiously:”Do you think we are still in that kind of observation now?”
Everyone:”……”
Hearing this, everyone became even more panicked.[]
“Ahem! Robin, you should continue translating the following content. There is no need to discuss such things. Even if you are being observed, so what? That is the gaze of a saint!”
Enel stood up and solemnly defended his own saint.
Nami whispered:”This is not an honor, this is peeping!”
