Sailing begins with becoming Luffy

"Hey, Merry, is it really okay?

Watching Frankie swallow the Merry bit by bit, Usopp looked nervously at Melly, fearing that Merry would suddenly disappear.

"Don't worry, I didn't feel any discomfort. "

The illusory raincoat ship spirit sensed everyone's concern and replied softly.

Although I am a ship spirit, everyone really regards me as a partner!

At this moment, Melly suddenly felt that it was really good that he could be their ship.

"Hiccup...... Whew, you're full, thank you for your hospitality!"

After swallowing the whole Merry, Frankie suddenly burped, and then patted his stomach as if it were really a big meal.

"Ahh

Frankie's movements immediately caused Usopp and Chopper to exclaim, one by one, one by one, by the collar, and the other jumped directly on top of Frankie's head.

"You two, don't be too nervous, isn't it okay for Melly?"

Zoro looked at the two of them speechlessly, this person is too innocent, can't he even see a joke?

"Hahaha, you two are really interesting, how about it, do you want to be my little brother of super?"

Seeing that his jokes can really deceive people, Frankie can't help but be happy, this person is so interesting.

"Oh, yes, Merry is still here, so you're lying to us, bastard!"

The one person and one deer who stopped making noise saw that Merry was fine now, so the relieved one person and one deer turned around and continued to scold Frankie.

Seeing that Usop and Chopper are scolding Frankie like this now, Luffy feels that the two of them will soon be really fragrant.

"I'm going to start renovating the Merry, little Merry, if there's anything wrong, you must call it out in time!"

Stopping the fight with Usopp and Chopper, Frankie took a serious look at the little boat spirit in front of him in a raincoat and reminded him.

"Well, I don't want to be separated from everyone, so if something is wrong, I'll speak up in time. "

Melly also replied seriously, originally thinking that his end might be the capital of seven waters.

However, I didn't expect Luffy to really have a way to keep himself following them.

At this moment, Melly felt that it was a very happy thing to be Luffy's ship.

Seeing Melly nodding, Frankie no longer hesitated and began to use his ability to devour fruits.

The crowd looked at Merry nervously again, praying that Merry would never have an accident.

This time, Merry did not have the embarrassment when he was watched before, and now he only had a feeling of peace of mind and happiness lingering in his heart.

Luffy looked at Frankie thoughtfully, regarding some of the ability applications of the Swallowing Fruit, Luffy remembered that he had seen some special uses on the Internet in his previous life.

When the new ship is built, maybe Frankie can give it a try, and if it really works, it may not need to be so troublesome in the future.

Frankie's mouth kept chewing, but the crowd couldn't see what was in his mouth.

Could it be that like the sluggish fruit, this fruit-swallowing ability must have such an action to be activated?

However, people will not have the heart to pay attention to those irrelevant things, and at this time, it is the most critical time.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Merry, for fear that Merry would have some accident.

However, as Frankie continued to chew, Melly did not show any discomfort, nor did she suddenly disappear in front of everyone.

Eventually, Frankie's chewing action stopped, and his mouth, modified by the devouring fruit, opened wide.

It wasn't until the open mouth was two turns bigger than Frankie's whole body that the mouth stopped and continued to grow.

Then, something was spat out of Frankie's gaping mouth.

It's a tank-like machine with a metallic sheen all over it.

The total length of this machine is only more than 2 meters, the width is not wide, and the color of the whole body, in addition to the metallic luster, gives everyone a very familiar feeling.

It is the original color matching of the Merry, and the muzzle of this "tank" machine is the sheep's head of the original Merry.

It's just that the situation has become horizontal from the upright of the Merry, and the sheep's head is now more angular than the previous roundness.

"Good...... Good...... So handsome!"

"This ...... Is this the new Merry?"

Looking at the metallic, angular tank-shaped machine in front of them, Usopp and Chopper decisively forgot about the situation they had just been tricked into.

His eyes lit up as he pounced on the newborn Merry, touching it here, looking at it there, looking so happy.

"It's amazing, a thing like a devil fruit, can you still do this?"

Nami once again has a new understanding of the Devil Fruit's abilities, and at the same time, she is even more looking forward to the Devil Fruit that Luffy has found for herself.

"Merry Chariot No. 1, here!"

Frankie returned to his normal form, waving his hands toward the newborn Merry like a gentleman.

Of course, his lower body, which is still only wearing a pair of briefs, does make him feel like a "gentleman", in another sense.

"It seems that my guess is correct, as long as the materials of the Merry are not discarded, this transformation of the Devouring Fruit will not cause any harm to Merry. "

"Huh?"

Frankie's words immediately caught everyone's attention.

"That said, before this, you're not sure if you're going to hurt Melly?"

Nami's eyes narrowed, and she asked in a gloomy voice.

"Isn't that a matter of course? It's also the first time I've used the Swallow Fruit for this kind of transformation, and it's possible to see what the result will be. "

Frankie didn't notice the ever-changing look in everyone's eyes, and replied as a matter of course.

"You bastard, what if Merry disappears because of this?"

"Bang"

Nami unceremoniously punches Frankie in the head.

"Hey, you stinky woman, don't mess with my hair, hmph, as a boatman, I cherish the presence of the ship's spirit more than you. "

"But so what, this thing has to be done. "

"The existence of the ship spirit depends on the crew who gave birth to him, and once the ship does not carry the crew who gave birth to the ship spirit for a long time, the ship spirit will still die out on its own. "

"Are you still going to sail on a ship that can no longer bear the great seas?"

"In that case, once the ship sinks in the middle of the voyage, do you want your companions to bear the pain of killing their own companions?"

"You know, the mission of the ship is to sail the crew from this port to the next port!"
