Pirates: The Mechanic of the Straw Hats

“Usopp, I’m sorry!”

Keya walked to Usopp step by step and said:

“In order to protect me and the village, I actually…Doubt you!”

“and…And he even hit you!”

“I really…”

“Keya! do not do that!”Usopp quickly took Keya’s hand and said seriously,”It’s okay, I don’t take that kind of thing to heart at all!”

“Anyway, everyone is fine, that’s the most important thing, isn’t it?”

“Usopp…Thank you! Thank you for saving me, saving the village, and telling me so many stories! I didn’t expect that Karabaatar was actually a pirate.”

“Who would have thought of such a thing? Keya, you don’t have to blame yourself”

“Besides, it was Luffy and the others who defeated Karabartel, and I didn’t contribute much at all! If you want to thank them, you should thank them!”

“thank you all!”Keya bowed to Luffy and the others,”Thank you for saving the village and everyone.”

“I have nothing to repay you. I just heard from Merry that you want to own a boat of your own. If you don’t mind, I just have a boat in my warehouse that I can give to you.”

“Nani? Give it to us? Really? Is it first hand?”

As soon as he heard about the ship, Luffy became excited and asked quickly

“Well, the boat has not been launched yet. If you are willing, I will give it to you as a gift from the village to repay you.”……

“Is it this one?”

Under the leadership of Melly, several people came to the warehouse behind the manor, and sure enough they saw a huge wooden boat parked there quietly, as if waiting for the person it was destined to be.

“This bow….”

Karl and others looked at the very familiar sheep head shape on the bow of the ship, and then looked at Meili on the side.

“Yes, I actually designed this boat.”Facing the looks of several people, Melly did not hide it. Instead, he proudly replied,”You know, my dream when I was a child was to become a ship designer.”

“And this boat is my first and only work.”

“To this day, I still remember the first time I drew its shape on papyrus twenty-two years ago. It was not until five years ago, after receiving funding from Keya’s parents, that the ship was finally built.”

“However, since it was built, it has been staying in this dark warehouse and has never had the opportunity to go to the sea.”

While Merry was explaining the history of the ship to a few people, Luffy had already ran onto the ship. After walking around on the deck, he jumped onto Mianyang’s head at the bow of the ship, pointed there and said loudly

“Ahahaha, this will be my special seat from now on!”

Everyone:???

“When did you run up here?”

“Come down here quickly!”

In response to several people’s questions, Luffy naturally went in with his left ear and out with his right ear, and he simply sat down. Don’t tell me

, he was sitting cross-legged on the bow of the sheep boat. It really looked like that.

“Let’s go, I’d better go up and introduce it to you!”

Seeing that Luffy likes his ship so much, Melili, as a designer, is naturally very happy.

As a designer, what could make him happier than having his work recognized by others?

“Because I have been designing this boat for more than ten years and only started building it five years ago, so compared to the current boats, the style is a bit old.”

“But it is a fast sailing ship using a jib, so I am quite confident in its speed.”

“…”

“I named it – Forward Merry!”

“I hope it can carry you on your next adventures”

“As my only work, I don’t want it to stay here forever. The mission of a ship is to go to sea.”

“So after hearing your conversation, I proposed to the lady to give this boat to you.”

“Luffy, what do you think?”

“I don’t care, I want this ship, Carl!”Luffy was still sitting in his special seat, with no intention of moving his buttocks.

“Then it’s a happy decision!”Karl turned his head and said to Melly,”Thank you, Mr. Melly.”

“It seems that my captain is very satisfied with this ship!”

“Haha, I’m glad you like it too. I think Melly will be very happy too.”Merry, like an old father, patted the railing of the boat happily.

“However, I have one more request besides that.”Karl’s voice changed.

“What? You can say it, as long as I can do it”

“I wonder if Mr. Meili plans to continue to be a designer?”

“Do you want to continue being a designer?”Merry smiled bitterly,”For some reasons, I have given up on this dream. This ship may be the only work in my life.”

“From now on, I just want to take good care of Miss Keya and take good care of her for her parents.”

“No, no, no, I mean, is Mr. Melly willing to make some improvements to this Melly?”Karl explained,”Because I promised my captain that our ship must be a unique ship on the sea.”

“Although I have some ideas, I don’t know much about ship design. I wonder if Mr. Melly can…”

“Transformation? The ship has been built and the general frame has been fixed. If it is changed, it may be a bit difficult.”

“Just improve it. Karl expressed his thoughts,”And I think there may still be some gap between the lifespan of wooden ships compared to metal ships.””

“It just so happens that we still have a pure metal warship in hand. I plan to wrap those metals on the surface of the Melly, which is equivalent to adding a layer of metal armor, so that it can better deal with possible battles in the future.”

“Metal armor? A very good idea, but it may be difficult to implement…”Melly thought about it and felt that this idea was not impossible.

“Don’t worry about this, my fruit ability can perfectly solve this problem, Mr. Melly only needs to help us design related things.”

“Because I also plan to add the power system on the metal ship. In this case, the speed of the Melly should be even higher.”

“There is still a certain gap between natural wind power and mechanical power.”

“As for the layout of these things in the boat, I am not good at it. I wonder what Mr. Melly thinks?”

“I…Promise to you!”

Merry thought for a while and then agreed.

The Forward Merry is like his child, and he naturally wants to make his child better.
