Pirate: My partner is too crooked

"I see. Do you want to modify the current ship and expand its size?"

After listening to Grandma Cocoluo's introduction, Tom, the fishman, sat with his legs crossed and sitting on the manuscript paper on the floor. After thinking briefly, he looked at Lin Zhi and asked, "I don't know what your specific requirements are?"

Now the sea train research project requires a lot of funds. If we can take this big order of 200 million, it will indeed relieve a lot of pressure.

"Our ship is currently a sea restaurant. If possible, I would like to transform it into a conventional ship suitable for the new world environment." Lin Zhi replied.

They are now major criminals wanted by the world government, and the goal of continuing to run the restaurant at sea is too great.

In the new world where fish and dragons are mixed, it is easy to be exposed and cause all kinds of unnecessary trouble and danger.

And with the current combat power of the entire team, if you need money, you can easily catch some pirates to solve the problem.

They are already guilty of a bounty, so naturally they don't have to worry too much about issues such as the bottom line of their reputation.

If it doesn't work, there is a whole golden land on the empty island!

"The size of the ship is determined by the keel. If it is an already spacious sea restaurant, the transformation effect is quite impressive."

Tom stood up on his knees, clapped his hands, and suggested, "But what I want to say is, since you have a budget of 200 million Baileys, it is more cost-effective to build a new ship."

Even if he possesses the world's top technology, he can't avoid the limitations of the original frame by modifying the ship.

The simplest metaphor is that with 200 million yuan, he can build a large sailboat of nearly 100 meters, but he cannot transform a 20-meter ship into a 50-meter ship!

And "Ring, Dang, Dang, Dang" is his mantra.

"I'm sorry, let's renovate it. Money is not an issue." Lin Zhi didn't even think about it.

Naturally, he also knew the value and developability of rebuilding a ship, but this Infinite Dream, a gift from three carpenters in Windmill Village, accompanied him and Aqua from scratch, across the East China Sea, through the island above the Upside Down Mountain, to It has now grown to a team of six.

The feelings in it are hard to let go of. It can be regarded as the seventh partner. Naturally, it is impossible to give up until it is scrapped.

Just like the name he originally took, this ship represents infinite dreams!

"That's right, that guy works super hard too!" Aqua agreed.

After this period of adventure, she has long regarded the Infinite Dream as her home.

Compared to Lin Zhi, she was even aware of the deeper existence on the Infinite Dream due to her keen awareness.

"I see, you really love your ship."

Sensing the determined attitude shown by Lin Zhi and Aqua, Mr. Tom smiled heartily and said, "In this case, I am actually looking forward to seeing what it looks like."

After taking a deep breath, Mr. Tom, who made the final decision, stretched out his palm towards Lin Zhi, "I'll take over this job for you guys. I will send someone to check the condition of the ship later, and then drive it to a special modification factory!"

"It's a pleasure to cooperate." Lin Zhi shook hands with Tom.

As expected of the strangely powerful fish-man who claims to be able to lift a ship with one hand, the opponent's palm is broad and full of power.

“A pleasure to work with.”

"By the way, there's one more thing. I hope our boatmen can participate in the renovation work."

Lin Zhi retracted his palm and introduced the meow beside him to Mr. Tom, "Even though he looks like this, he is actually a very powerful scientist on our ship."

"Asshole! Even if you praise me like this, I won't be happy, meow~"

Miao Miao was very impressed by the phrase "a very powerful scientist" and scratched his head with pride.

"A talking pet? This is a very strange species." Mr. Tom looked at Meow Meow and said with emotion.

For the sake of caution, Meow Meow also wore a special mask on his face, but from the hair on his body and his petite body, he could still easily tell that he was a pet.

"It's not a pet, it's a cute and charming Pokémon, Meow!" The smiling Meow changed his face on the spot and said fiercely.

"He seems to be a very easy-going character. No problem. I will definitely adopt your opinion."

Tom laughed.

Ever since he was sentenced to death and devoted all his energy to working on the sea train, he had never encountered such interesting humans, or creatures.

Grandma Kokoluo, who was standing in the corner, had her eyes flashing and she carefully looked at Meow Meow's exposed cat tail.

‘It looks like a cat. It walks on two legs like humans and can talk. Why does it feel like I’ve seen it somewhere before? ’

Such doubts appeared in her mind.

Before she could figure out where this familiar impression came from, an arm with a blue wristband was placed around her waist.

"Hey, good sisters, let's have some wine."

Aqua had a smile on her lips and stared straight at the red wine in Granny Kokoro's hand.

"Not everyone can drink this taste."

Having said that, Grandma Cocoro handed the red wine bottle to Aqua very generously.

The alcoholic goddess waved her hand to indicate that it was nothing, took the bottle, and was about to lift her mask to taste it when her body trembled violently as if she had been electrocuted.

No, it's not like.

She was really shocked.

"Uh, forget it."

Aqua, who knew the reason, smiled sarcastically and obediently returned the red wine to Granny Kokoro.

She still understands the concept of a full meal and a full meal!

"Hahaha, can't you stand just the smell?"

Granny Cocoluo smiled and took back the wine bottle, and took a sip into her mouth naturally.

This bad old woman actually dares to show off her drinking ability in front of this goddess!

The stupid goddess couldn't stand this kind of provocation. She twitched her lips and decided to prove herself despite Lin Zhi's warning.

Just at this time, there was a "dong" sound, and the door of the studio was suddenly pushed open.

"Mr. Tom, I heard that someone is looking for you to break up the ship. Where is it?!"

A spirited young man wearing goggles on his forehead and wearing a floral shirt walked quickly, carrying a big wrench in his hand.

The disciple adopted by Mr. Tom, the little pervert who has not yet evolved into the ultimate pervert, is Carter Frame, the man who will remain anonymous and renamed Franky in the future.

"Fram, how many times have I told you not to be so rash every time you come to see Mr. Tom."

"Also, what Barry is talking about is obviously ship modification, not dismantling. Can you please listen clearly before taking action!"

Bingshan, who was also Tom's disciple and was wearing clean casual clothes, followed closely behind him and closed the open door again, expressing his deep dissatisfaction with Fram.

"Hahaha, it doesn't matter, it's all big business delivered to your door anyway."

Frame threw his head back and laughed indifferently, completely unaware of his mistake.

Except for Lin Zhi, who looked calm, the two people with completely opposite personalities made Aqua and others look confused.

"Fram, Bingshan, you are here. I just wanted to find you."

Mr. Tom had long been accustomed to this. He turned to introduce Lin Zhi and his party, "Mr. Lin Zhi, these two people are the people I just mentioned who are going to conduct an on-site inspection on your ship."

"Then I'll help you two." Lin Zhi greeted.

After Mr. Tom's brief introduction, Frame and Bingshan quickly learned about the work content.

When they learned that the reward was 200 million beli with no ceiling, even those who had seen various big clients couldn't help but be stunned and cheered up.

No one knows better than them how much Mr. Tom needs this money now!

Even Frame put away his rash temper and put his goggles on his eyes, his face full of seriousness and enthusiasm.

Lin Zhi couldn't help but look at Fram who looked like this.

Although he has not lost Mr. Tom yet and is happy now, the painting style does not have the super perverted style of the original work, which is really a bit unaccustomed to him.

"Then Mr. Lin Zhi, could you please lead the way? We need to conduct a comprehensive inspection of your ship." Bingshan said aloud with a calm personality.

"no problem."

Lin Zhi nodded, said hello to Mr. Tom and Granny Cocoluo, and left the studio with his friends.

Iceberg and Frame followed.

When passing the gate of Shipyard No. 1, a completely unexpected man appeared that made Lin Zhi's pupils shrink.

The yellow-sleeved navy cloak of justice swayed slightly, and it was a familiar face with a wretched and lazy temperament.

Oncoming was actually Kizaru Porusalino, the candidate for the admiral of the Navy headquarters, and the navy squad he led!

Seeing the navy appear on the opposite side, King and Miaomiao couldn't help but become nervous.

After all, they are also criminals with a bounty on their head now.

Fortunately, the other party didn't seem to be here to arrest them. The two groups just looked at each other as they passed each other, and then continued to go their separate ways.

"It's those annoying marines sent by the world government again. Do they really not trust Mr. Tom's technology?!"

After walking away, Frame spat at the back of the retreating navy.

The navy under the World Government has appeared at the No. 1 Shipyard not once or twice.

Ever since Mr. Tom promised to build the sea train, they would come over every now and then to check on the progress and supervise the progress. It was extremely annoying.

"Let them do whatever they want. Anyway, just like before, they will leave after a few days." Bingshan's eyes flashed with a strange color.

Compared to the impulsive and reckless Frame, he obviously knows more inside information.

"It seems that even the world government attaches great importance to your sea train." Lin Zhi sighed lightly.

"That's for sure! What Mr. Tom is doing now is incredible!"

When mentioning the great project of the sea train, Flam's eyes were filled with pride and excitement.

On the other side, the inspection team had already entered the shipyard.

"Mr. Porusalino, it seems that the skull and the cute girl just now are the ones who captured thousands of pirates."

The adjutant took three steps and turned back, carefully observing Lin Zhi and his party.

"Don't be so overly sensitive. Skulls and other skulls are not very common in the Grand Line. I have even encountered a manatee that knows kung fu."

Kizaru raised his gaze and casually observed the boatmen working around him, not particularly paying attention to the adjutant's words.

"But Mr. Porusalino, they really look alike. They are probably not ordinary people. And those guys wearing masks also look very suspicious."

The adjutant insisted on his judgment and couldn't help but suggest, "How about we go back and check it out?"

Hearing this, Kizaru's lazy steps stopped and he turned his head to look at the adjutant.

"The sea train is a project that the world government attaches great importance to. We are here to supervise the investigation process, not to spend such important task time on unimportant things. Please understand this deeply. "

It was obvious that the words he spoke were somewhat lazily, but under Kizaru's gaze, the adjutant did not dare to show any slightness and nodded quickly: "This subordinate is suspicious, please forgive me."

Disobeying and delaying the mission of the World Government is such a big label. If it is placed on yourself, it is not a joke!

Seeing that he no longer persisted, Kizaru retracted his gaze that quietly fell on Lin Zhi, patted the clean clothes, and continued to watch the work of the boatmen leisurely.

He seemed to be keenly aware of something.

…

"It's really well maintained. It seems like this is a very happy boat."

"Hey! These weapons and equipment on the ship are too advanced, they are super awesome!"

Under the leadership of Lin Zhi and others, Frame and Bingshan came to the port and saw the Infinite Dream docked on the shore.

From the exclamations made by the two people, we can see the difference between Tom, the two closed disciples.

Bingshan is good at meticulous observation, while Frame is more interested in dismantling and building, as well as weapons and equipment that require hands-on work.

After a brief inspection of key parts such as the hull, keel, mast, deck, etc., both of them came to the conclusion that the modification conditions were fully met.

So, the Infinite Dream sailed into the shipyard specially responsible for the renovation work.

Due to the abundant funds, both Bingshan and Fram suggested replacing all the hull planks with the highest quality Adam tree wood.

Lin Zhi had no objection. In other words, his original purpose was to obtain rare materials like Baoshu Adam!

Because Mr. Tom needs to receive the navy and report on the progress of the sea train, he does not have time to come over and inspect the ship in person.

So the next few hours are free time.

Bingshan and Frame will first conduct a more detailed inspection of the Infinite Dream.

Lin Zhi, who had a rare leisure time, took Aqua, who was impatient and wanted to go on a shopping spree (alcohol), as well as Brooke and Kangna, and continued to wander around the Capital of Seven Waters.

The ship modification was not something that could be completed in a short time, so he planned to find a suitable hotel to stay in the town.

Miaomiao, who was about to participate in the transformation work, naturally couldn't leave. The otaku King, who had no interest in going out at all, accompanied Miaomiao on the boat, playing a fighting game that had been idle for more than a month for the first time in a long time.

At sunset, Lin Zhi and others, who had successfully rented a house after shopping around, returned to the factory. The busy Mr. Tom still had not appeared.

After Bingshan informed them apologetically that the renovation work would not be officially carried out until tomorrow, Lin Zhi simply took Meow Meow and King back to the hotel.

Although we were still on the ship, the noisy factory environment was obviously not suitable for sleeping.

Until the dark night completely enveloped the Capital of Seven Waters, in the dead of night.

After receiving the Navy, Mr. Tom had time to come to the renovation factory to personally check the status of the Infinite Dream and prepare to formulate the most appropriate renovation plan.

This was indeed what he thought at first. However, after seeing the Infinite Dream with his own eyes, he stood frozen in place as if struck by lightning.

The fish-man's head was raised high, and his usually calm and calm face was now filled with shock and astonishment that was almost out of control.

Following his violently trembling gaze, I saw a blurry figure standing on the deck looking at him under the dim moonlight!

Along with the thick and ethereal fog, that one is extremely mysterious and rare in the legend...

Ship Spirit!
