Pirate Merchant

"Nana, Lord Maku, when will Luffy and the others come to pick me up?"

In the secret dock that only Mu Qian could enter, Meili, who was pretending to be having a family dinner with Qixing, asked expectantly to Mu Qian, who was installing a flying device on it.

"It's almost time. I'll go find them after I debug the flight device. It's become more dangerous outside now, so when the flight device is debugged and loaded, you can safely carry them on the sea."

Mu Qian, who was debugging the engine and had his hands full of oil, raised his head and smiled and replied to Meili.

"But Lord Mu, will Sonny-san hate me?"

When Merry, who was full of expectations, thought of the Sonny that Luffy and the others were riding at this time, Merry, who had not carried Luffy and the others for more than two years, became worried about gain and loss.

"It's okay, Merry. When Sonny gets on the mothership, I will chop him into pieces."

Qixing gave a thumbs up to comfort Meili, and her serious look proved that she was not joking, but was really planning to destroy the Sonny directly.

"Don't listen to its nonsense. You and Sunny are Luffy's companions, so Sunny will definitely not hate you."

Mu Qian glared at Qixing who was too murderous, and then comforted Meili who was frightened by Qixing.

"Huh~ The debugging is finally completed, the power is intact, little guy, it's time to go find Luffy and the others."

After comforting Meili, the sticky motor oil on Mu Qian's hands was instantly evaporated by the high temperature. He stood up and stretched his waist and said to Meili who was resting with Qixing after they were tired from playing.

"Well, let's go!"

Meili shook her head slightly to throw away distracting thoughts and replied to Mu Qian.

As the side walls slowly opened, bright sunlight shone on the Meili.

The hull and mast, which were originally repaired with iron plates, now have a new look. The orange trees on the stern, kindly provided by Nokigao, have plump orange fruits. The new-look Meili is now as vibrant as a brand-new ship from the factory. .

Under Makuken's control, the cables of the Meili were automatically untied, and the sails with the Straw Hat Pirates' logo on them slowly unfolded under the breeze. Under the strong wind of the modified version of the Jet Shell at the bottom of the hull, Meili was lifted. The ship slowly sailed out of the secret dock where it had stayed for more than two years, and flew in the direction of Luffy's life card slowly moving under the bright sunshine.

"Jiangjiangjiangjiang~ These are all the energy bars we got! A ten-centimeter-long highly concentrated energy bar can support a medium-sized spacecraft to fly for half a month! And we now have one hundred and twenty! Sixty months You don’t need to worry about energy bars anymore!!!”

Nami, who returned with Usopp and Sanji on White Merry-go-round No. 1, placed the energy rod she obtained on the deck. The market price of this energy rod is 3.7 million Berry! Rounding it off myself, I cheated Muqian of more than 400 million berries in one go! This made Nami, who had always thought that she was being oppressed by Mu Qian, let out a bad breath.

"Hey? Are these black sticks so good? Brother Mu said before that he would give me a box."

Luffy curiously picked up an energy rod, weighed it, and threw it on the ground amid the strong stench.

"Huh?! I remember that the number of energy bars in a box is thirty! What about the box of energy bars?"

Nami's eyes lit up. If she gets thirty energy bars, she won't have to worry about energy bars for a long time!

"I refused! I wanted to beat him away at that time! How could I want his things!"

Luffy was furious when he thought that he had never beaten Mu Qian before. He crossed his arms and answered Nami proudly.

"Next time, no matter what he wants to give you, even if it's the one you dislike the most, I'll accept it! Do you understand?"

Nami, who beat Luffy into a pig's head, clenched her fists like the sternest parent and shouted loudly at these losers.

“When did I become the person who forces things on others that they don’t like?”

Mu Qian, who was slowly descending from the sky while driving the Meri, stood at the side of the ship and leaned over, complaining angrily about Nami.

"Quick! Put away the energy bars quickly!!!"

"Ahhh! Brother Mu is here!!!"

"Meili?! It's really Meili!!!"

As the Meili landed next to the Sonny, Nami guiltily ordered her companions to hide the energy rod quickly, while Chopper thought that Muqian was here to denounce Nami for cheating on Muqian's energy rod. He screamed guiltily while waiting for others, trying to find a place to hide.

But Usopp yelled and ran to the edge of the deck, looking at the brand new Merry that had been repaired by Mu Qian, and howled loudly.

"Meili, long time no see!"

Luffy, who followed Nami's instructions to pick up the energy rod, dropped the energy rod in his hand when Usopp cried, and ran to Usopp's side to say hello to Merry.

"It's so beautifully repaired. Xiao Mu, your ship repair skills are really amazing."

As a senior boatman, Frankie looked at the brand-new Meili. He knew best what the broken keel meant. He praised Mu Qian without any rhetoric.

"Haha, it's nothing. Rather than repairing the ship, it's more like performing a delicate reinforcement and replacement surgery on Meili."

Mu Qian stroked the handrails that he had polished to an excellent feel. If the previous Meili was an ordinary sailboat, then the Meili restored by his hands was already a luxury ship that was completely hand-refined.

"Hahaha! Usopp! Luffy! Take good care of the Merry! This ship sailed back from the Underworld River Styx to see you!"

Frankie laughed loudly and patted Usopp on the shoulder. He congratulated Usopp sincerely after hearing Usopp's story about the Merry two years ago.

"Okay, you guys start to carry the necessities to the Meili. I will modify the flying device of the Sonny for you here. Don't hide it, Nami, don't you feel tired of deceiving yourself?"

Mu Qian looked at Nami who was in a panic and wanted to hide the energy bar, and complained angrily about her, who he knew from the very beginning of the action of catching Taotie to make the energy bar.

"It's up to you! I like to collect things and put them together!!!"

Nami, who was caught in the act, did not dare to turn around and confront Muqian, so she turned her back to him and scolded him very aggressively.

"Banquet! Sanji! We're having a banquet tonight to celebrate the return of the Merry!"

Luffy grabbed Usopp and Chopper and jumped onto the Meili with cheers, and said loudly to Sanji when he fell.

"Oh, well, it just so happens that Chlorella head caught a good fish this morning."

Sanji, holding a lot of energy bars in his arms, looked at Luffy, Usopp and Chopper who were happily running and jumping on the Merry like a few children, and even rolling on the deck, and walked away with a smile. into the kitchen.

"Yeah! What a cute girl! Nea! Muchan Muchan! Is she your daughter?!"

When Makuken taught Jinbe how to put the Merry into flight mode, and waited for the glutton to come over, Garrot, who was adventuring on the Merry with Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper, ran out of the cabin holding Merry He came out and asked Mu Qian with shining eyes.

And her daughter made Nami and Robin on the Sonny all look in his direction.

"Her name is Meili, and she is the ship spirit of this ship. For some unknown reason, she has become unable to take shape. She is quite shy, so don't bully her."

Mu Qian looked at Gallot who was close to Mei Li and liked her very much, patted Gallot's head with a smile and said to her.

"...I'm so busy, why don't I just drive the Sonny back to fix it and send it over? What, I haven't been together for more than two years, and now I'm more popular than anyone else. If I had known, I wouldn't have told Luffy. About Ace."

Nami, who was leaning on the armrest of the Sonny, looked at Muqian who was letting Chopper lie on his shoulders on the Meili. At this time, he was chatting with Dr. Kureha with Chopper on the video phone bug, full of resentment Full of complaints about Makuqian who was never by his side when the Straw Hat Pirates were in danger.

"Hehe, although he hasn't been with me all this time, he has always been our companion, hasn't he? However, at this moment, he doesn't shy away from being with us in the navy. This matter is very problematic. He should It’s time for the final action.”

Robin closed the golden book that was about to be finished in his hand, and said to Nami with a frown.

"The final move?"

Nami froze slightly, a bad feeling made her feel very uncomfortable.

"I don't know the details, and I only saw it once in his diary. Judging from his constant contacts with the navy, pirates, and revolutionary army, his ultimate goal is likely to be related to the world government."

Robin came to Nami's side and brushed her hair, which was blown by the sea wind, behind her ears, and said worriedly.

"Liar, right? His goal is the world government?!"

Nami asked Robin in disbelief, is he crazy?

"uncertain."

Robin sighed deeply, what she was worried about was not 'not sure if this thing is true', but 'not sure if this thing is fake', because, based on her understanding of Mu Qian Well, that guy can really do it to destroy the world government.

"I always feel that he and we are not in the same world. His ideas and thinking are completely different from ours. For example, if he wanted to sell oranges, if it were me, he would definitely go to more places to sell them at a good price, and he It is to directly purchase oranges from all the orange producing areas in the East China Sea at market prices, spend money to hire people to plant orange trees, and finally unify the price of oranges to sell the difference, and in the end he just makes money by running transportation."

Nami, who is not good at doing business, smiled bitterly and complained. Muqian's various behaviors that were too advanced made her feel great pressure with Muqian. When she was with him, Nami felt better than being with the evil dragon. There is also a lot of pressure.

"Yeah, compared with him, any genius will be inferior, although he is not as good as Luffy and Zoro in terms of combat talent, he is not as good as Mr. Dragon in the control of devil fruits, and he is not as good as Nami in terms of navigation. , but he perfectly integrated these imperfect skills to arm himself."

Robin looked at Muqian who saw Chopper hugging him from his shoulders and putting him on the deck to let him chat with Kureha alone. Although he was not as good as a genius in one aspect, his lacking skills could be perfectly integrated Everything, just like he can blend like a fish in water among the pirates, the navy and the revolutionary army, just like he can perfectly reconcile the high temperature and low temperature.

"...Hmph, he's the best navigator I know, Robin, would you believe me if I said he already knew where Ralph Rudd was, but he didn't care about it at all?"

Nami raised her hand and bit her finger, and asked Robin unwillingly.

"I believe, even if there is wealth in Lavrud that moves the world, it should not be as much as that in the 'flying treasure ship'? After all, that man often said that the most precious things in the world are not gold, gems and Berry, but the 'people' who can create those fortunes."

Robin nodded, smiled and said to Nami, who was biting her finger and was extremely unwilling.

"During the two years of Luffy's practice, he drove the mothership to fly around the whole world. He has been to every corner of the world, and there is only one island in the whole world. Before I had time to draw a map, he controlled the mothership. The ship left straight away. What is the end of the great route? What dangerous and uncontrollable deadly weather? What can never be found by other methods? Sometimes I really feel sorry for Luffy, maybe, ignorant people will be happy?"

Nami put down her hands and looked at Luffy who was dancing weirdly with Usopp on the deck of the Merry, feeling distressed that the dream he had always believed in was a joke that could be easily achieved in the eyes of others.

"Hehe, he may be the type of person I don't like the least. He doesn't care about history and the past. What he sees is the future. However, Nami, you said that Luffy is pitiful. I object, because everyone The dream in my heart will not become dim and cheap because others can easily get it."

Robin jumped onto the handrail of the Sonny, and then slid on the slide made of countless grown arms to the Meili, whose keel was completely broken in order to save herself. She wanted to express her gratitude to the Meili in person.

".What is the least favorite type? Isn't this the one you like so much that you throw yourself into your arms?"

Nami looked at Robin who jumped up on the arm slide and fell towards Makuken, who was taken into his arms by Makuken amid Sanji's screams in the kitchen, and complained angrily about this insincere Robin.

"Brother Mu! Don't you already have Weiwei, Nuoqigao, Kalifa, Monet, Jiya and other beauties?! Let go of Robin sauce!!!"

Sanji, who was cutting meat with a kitchen knife in his hand, poked his head out of the kitchen window and roared at Mu Qian with tears in his hands. At this moment, he just wanted to use the knife in his hand to chop Mu Qian, the murderer!

"I want to give you a hug too!!!"

Seeing Muqian hugging Robin with a wry smile on his face, Garrett, who was already eager to try, cheered and jumped onto Muqian's back, and then rubbed his fleshy cheek against Muqian's cheek vigorously. This rare fur family is not once or twice.

"Well~Sanji, don't blame me, that's how handsome and powerful you are, if you want to blame it, blame my damn charm~"

Mu Qian, who was regarded by Robin as a mobile tool of human flesh, carried Garrot on his back, hugged Robin, and enjoyed the embrace of the beauty amidst Sanji's clamor, and his Neptune speech made Sanji burn all over up.

If it weren't for Nami who seemed to hate Makuken and gave Sanji a little hope, he would have come out of the kitchen and fought Makuken for 10,000 rounds.
