"Thief, thief, hahahaha…"
The beautiful sunrise had just risen, and the golden light was like the God of Light comforting some unfortunate person, shining on Teach, who was forcing a smile and had a mouth missing several teeth.
As if he saw something funny, this simple and honest 'big boy' laughed out loud. He wanted to laugh loudly, but was worried about waking up his 'brothers and sisters', which caused his face to turn red, and he grinned silently, with tears overflowing from the corners of his eyes.
After he rolled on the ground laughing silently for a while, his nearly three-meter-five-tall body finally sat up again, picked up the newspaper on the ground, and stared at the two pictures on the front page.
The largest picture shows Karina killing Crocodile, and the other is divided into three grids, showing Karina using the power of the "Dark-Dark Fruit" to devour the casino, releasing a huge black tornado, and a picture of a devil fruit.
And that devil fruit is exactly what Teach has been dreaming of for decades, and his obsession with it exceeds Sanji's obsession with the "Transparent Fruit" countless times.
"Hahahaha…it turns out I was once so close to my dream!"
Tiqi laughed until tears came out again, and then the silly smile that made people tremble with admiration gradually turned ferocious. He stared at the girl in the newspaper who had lost her childishness and became so beautiful that ordinary people could not help but tremble with admiration, and whispered her name: "Ka… Lina!"
Just when everyone thought that Tiqi would be filled with murderous intent and wanted to kill Kalina, they saw this guy with a ferocious smile, and he became excited again, laughing and muttering to himself: "Thank you for showing up, which turned my hope from "zero" to "one". "
After saying that, Teach threw the crumpled newspaper into the sea, then stood up, walked to the door of a room in the cabin, knocked on the door and said, "Captain Ace, are you awake? I want to ask for leave from you!"
————
"Dark…Dark Girl? What kind of taste does that birdman have to give me such a title?!"
In the morning, on a sailboat slowly sailing on the sea.
Karina looked at the headlines of today's World Economic Daily and couldn't help but complain about the new title Morgans gave her: "I might as well keep the title of "Phantom Thief". It's at least a hundred times better than this "Dark Girl". "
"I agree, I also want to get back the title of "Little Thief Cat". "Electric Shock Girl" is really terrible."
Nami, who was not far away, raised her hand and echoed.
"It's normal. Whether it's the newspaper or the navy, when they give people titles, they always base it on their characteristics or abilities."
Robin, who was lying on a beach chair reading a book, chuckled and said to himself: "For example, my "Devil's Child" was obtained because a scholar from O'Hara wanted to awaken an ancient weapon to destroy the world, and then a man destroyed six naval warships at the age of 8. He didn't give you the "Son of Darkness", which should be the reason why Nami is the "Electric Shock Girl". "
"Those people will do anything to increase the water level," Nami complained.
"My "Three Swordsman" and "Pirate Hunter" are also from this way."
At this time, Zoro, who was sleeping against the wall of the ship, also opened his eyes and joined in the conversation.
"The title of Boss is still the most handsome. Whether it's 'The Strongest Super Rookie in History' or 'The Strongest Hunter', it's so domineering." Kalina threw the newspaper to Nami, then trotted to Dewey's side and said with a smile.
In response, Dewey patted Kalina's head and said with a smile: "Just ignore it. If we weren't bounty hunters, maybe my title would be similar to yours."
The people in this world are indeed bad at naming.
For example, "Golden Roger" before Roger became the Pirate King, or "Whitebeard" the strongest man in the world, or even Shanks' "Red Hair", they are all so casual.
Even the Straw Hat Pirates in the original work are the same. Just because Luffy wears a straw hat, he is called "Straw Hat Boy". Just because Sanji likes to wear black trousers and kick people, he is called "Black Foot" Sanji.
Dewey is just lucky. Whether he is "the strongest rookie in history" or "the strongest hunter", both sound pretty good.
"No, next time I see that birdman, I have to ask him to change my title." Kalina clenched her pink fists and said so.
"Me too," Nami agreed again.
While Karina and the others were discussing the titles, the news of the first defeat and death of a great pirate among the Shichibukai, one of the three great powers that balance the sea, swept the world.
The "Big Three of Bounty", who had been keeping a low profile for over a month, once again appeared on the headlines of the "World Economic Times", making countless minions who wanted to be famous feel envious and jealous.
But at the same time, some people who were of the same generation as Crocodile and knew how powerful he was found it unbelievable.
Especially when they saw that the person who killed Crocodile was Kalina, the least famous of the "Big Three Bounty Hunters", and that the other party was also a nature-type ability user.
The news that all of the "Big Three Bounty Hunters" were of the Nature type instantly set off the entire Grand Line.
Among them, the shock to the New World was the strongest. After all, they all knew how rare and precious the natural element was.
However, this time, after they learned that all the "Big Three Bounty Hunters" were Nature-type, their fear only deepened, and they dared not pay attention to anything else.
On the other hand, the overlords were even more excited.
Especially Doflamingo and Gild Tesoro, who had established a relationship with Dewey and the other two, were smiling so brightly today.
Six days later, Dewey and his five companions arrived at the "City of Seven Waters".
When they docked the sailboat at the coast where the "Franky family" was, Franky and his brothers had been waiting for a long time.
"Ah – Brother Dewey, congratulations on becoming world famous again!"
"She actually killed the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Sister Kalina is so powerful!"
"So cool, Sister Kalina!"
"…"
After seeing Dewey and the other four coming down the ladder, Franky struck that familiar funny pose, and the younger brothers behind him cheered.
"Everyone, long time no see!"
Karina smiled and waved at Franky and his minions.
Dewey also walked up to Franky, held his hand, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work in the past few months, Franky."
"It's not hard. I should be the one thanking you for fulfilling my dream." Franky smiled back, then looked at Zoro and Robin behind Dewey and asked in surprise, "Are they your new companions?"
"Ah…let me introduce you!"
Dewey nodded, then introduced Zoro and Franky to each other: "The one with the three swords style is Roronoa Zoro, and this is Nico Robin."
"Nicole Robin? What a familiar name." Franky's gaze lingered on Robin for a moment, and he felt as if he had heard this name somewhere before.
Dewey did not give much introduction, but looked at the sailboat covered with a huge black cloth docked on the coast not far away, and asked expectantly: "Is that our new ship?"
"Ah… boys, go and uncover the black cloth and let Dewey and the others see that super – dream ship!" Franky turned around and posed in a familiar posture towards his younger brothers, shouting loudly.
"Ohhhh—"
The members of the Franky family shouted again, and then worked together to remove the black cloth.
In an instant, a huge silver-white ship appeared in front of Dewey and his four companions.
"Wow…"
Looking at the new ship reflecting the dazzling light in the sun, except for Dewey, Kalina and the other two girls, as well as Zoro, all widened their eyes slightly and showed expressions of amazement.
"Ah – it cost a billion dollars, the wood was chosen from the world's strongest tree, the 'Treasure Tree Adam', and the Franky family mobilized all of them, and it took three months to build it…"
Franky and his men took the "Franky Family" celebration pose and shouted, "The entire ship is 117 meters long, the main mast is 108 meters high, the displacement is 12,000 tons, there are 25 powerful guns, a lawn-style deck, a garden-style cabin roof, plus a variety of interior themes… Even if it falls from a thousand meters into the sea, the bottom of the ship will not be damaged at all. It is the most perfect large three-masted sailing ship in the world!"
"Big Sister Karina, this is the instruction manual prepared for you."
After Franky finished speaking, a younger brother walked up to Karina, whose beautiful eyes were shining with golden light, and handed her a notebook.
"Great, this is the great ship we wanted!"
Nami yelled at Franky.
Kalina and Dewey, and even the new arrivals Zoro and Robin, nodded repeatedly.
"As long as you are satisfied."
Franky breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "According to Kalina and Nami's request, I chose a white horse as the logo for the bow. I installed a secret weapon in it for you. You can read the manual for details and operation. Also…"
After a slight pause, Franky pulled Dewey to a place and whispered, "I have also made the things you want for you. They are already in the warehouse in the cabin."
"Thanks for your hard work!"
Dewey's eyes lit up, and then he patted Franky's shoulder heavily.
"Have you thought of a name for the new ship?" Franky turned and looked at Kalina and Nami and asked.
"Ah…I already thought about it last year."
Kalina and Nami nodded, then looked at each other and said in unison: "Let's call it——"Flask"!"
"Flask, what's the meaning of this name?"
Franky scratched his head and asked curiously.
Dewey also looked at Kalina and the other girl with confusion.
In fact, Dewey was just the pot calling the kettle black a few days ago. In fact, he is also a bad namer.
Even the names of the moves are copied from Naruto and Bleach.
"Hehe… It doesn't have any meaning. It's just the name of a character in a novel." Kalina and Nami said deliberately keeping the secret.
Just when Franky felt itchy and wanted to ask more questions.
Robin, who reads an astonishing amount of books, couldn't help but brighten up and asked, "Is it the famous novel 'The Whale'?"
"…As expected of Sister Robin!"
Kalina and Nami looked at Robin in surprise, with the former giving him a thumbs-up in admiration.
Kalina nodded helplessly and gave Dewey a smile that only the three of them could understand: "Yes, that's the name of a whaler."
In response, Dewey shook his head with a smile.
"Okay, let's put the touring of the new ship aside. Now let's go to the party first!" Franky put his arm around Dewey's shoulders and shouted in an unromantic manner.
"...All right!"
Karina was speechless as she stared at Franky who didn't seem to be doing it on purpose.
But considering that he was the father of the new ship, he didn't argue with him.
So, Dewey and his five friends and the French family entered the French family and began a banquet to welcome Dewey and his five friends and celebrate the birth of the new ship.
The banquet did not end until the evening, but Kalina and the other two girls, who had not drunk a drop of wine, could not wait to climb the ship's ladder and tour the "Flask".
"Let's go to the library first."
Kalina opened the instruction manual, looked at the crude indoor map, and said to Nami.
Robin, who was following behind the two women, suddenly brightened up and almost couldn't help but agree.
"Sure." Nami nodded confidently.
So the three of them first came to the library.
Since the main mast is hundreds of meters high, the height of the cabin is naturally very high, and the library is located on the second to last floor of the cabin, which is the second highest position.
Plus, the library was designed specifically by Karina, and Franky embodied all of her inspirations and ideas.
As a result, in addition to bookcases, this library also has a cafe, reading tables and even corridors…
The bed is next to the reading table, and you can see the blue sea through the window.
This is where the library is located and why it is the second highest.
Seeing this interior design, Robin's beautiful eyes rarely shone brightly.
"marvelous!"
Kalina and Robin murmured in unison.
"The painting room is next door. I'll go take a look." Nami scanned the instruction manual and found that the painting room was next to the library, so she walked over quickly.
"…What a great design, exactly as I imagined!"
Soon, Nami's cheers were heard from next door.
Then, the three girls went to visit other indoor rooms.
There are seven floors in total. In addition to the dock on the seventh floor and the wine cellar, warehouse and secret base on the sixth floor, the other five floors, in addition to the library and painting room, there are aquariums, bathhouses, meditation rooms, teahouses, integrated karaoke bars, small casinos, gyms, sword halls, kitchens, etc. There are dozens of interior themes, which dazzled Kalina and Nami and they exclaimed repeatedly.
In the end, even Robin lost his calm demeanor and joined the two-woman group.
In addition to the interior, there are orange trees and other tough trees planted on the deck, and there are swings and sofas under the treetops… The roof of the cabin is even a small garden, where Kalina and the other two girls can even water the flowers and grow vegetables.
I have to say that this is a great and perfect ship.
