Chapter 225 The Damaged Merry
When the battle was over, broken ice spread across the entire ocean.
In the center of the battlefield, the previously uninhabited island had already been shattered into pieces, some crystal clear, some scorched earth.
The Merry, which was not far from the battlefield, had half of its bottom frozen on a huge piece of ice, its mast broken, its keel broken, and two huge ice spikes inserted into the entire hull.
"He just left like this?"
Among the countless pieces of ice, a straight line of ice continued to extend into the distance.
"He dares to ride a bicycle around the sea. He is worthy of being an admiral of the navy. So awesome!" Chopper looked into the distance with admiration.
"Come to think of it, when I first went out to sea, I encountered a storm and was drifting around in a wooden barrel."
"Ah, Luffy is awesome too!"
"Assholes, stop playing! Hurry up and repair the Merry!" Hanging on the bow of the ship, Usopp held a piece of wood in his hand and kept knocking on it.
At this moment, a crane slowly landed on the bow of the Merry.
"Wow, Yunyi! Are you going to steal my seat too?" Seeing Yunyi standing on the bow, Luffy raised his finger angrily.
"Although you are my brother, no matter what, I, the Green Team, will not give up the bow position of the Merry to you."
However, Yun Yi, who was standing on the sheep's head, seemed not to have heard Luffy's words. Instead, he slowly squatted on the sheep's head and stretched out a hand to touch the Merry.
After a long time, Yun Yi finally jumped off the sheep's head.
"Everyone, there is no time. We must get to the Seven Water Capital as soon as possible."
"The life of the Merry has come to an end."
"Wait, wait, wait, you said that the life of the Merry has come to an end, what does that mean..." Holding up the hammer, Usopp continued to ask with a trembling voice: "Hahaha, I understand."
"When you say it's come to an end, you mean that the Merry can't wait to upgrade, right? After the upgrade, the Merry can no longer be called the Merry."
"Let me think, what should it be called after the upgrade?"
While Usopp was mumbling to himself, Yun Yi put his hands on the deck.
In an instant, the ice where the Merry was located instantly turned into a huge ice ship, carrying the Merry on it and moving forward at a rapid speed.
Gradually, everyone felt that the Merry had taken off, and everything below them became extremely small.
It’s a pity that no one seems to be in the mood to experience this novel feeling.
After doing all this, Yun Yi continued, "The Merry is a ship with life."
"Has... life?" Everyone was surprised. How could a ship have life?
However, Yun Yi still said affirmatively: "Yes, it is indeed a living ship. Perhaps you should have realized it long ago."
"I remember now, it was Merry herself who repaired the ship for us on Sky Island!" Usopp thought of the ghost he saw on the human sacrifice altar, and the next day the Merry was miraculously repaired.
"It was indeed Merry who repaired himself that time. Because of this, the battle just now has caused further damage to his already bruised body."
"So the most urgent task is to go to the Seven Waters City and find the best ship repairman to extend its life."
"Hurry up then!" Luffy said anxiously, "Nami, take out all the money, I want to hire the best ship repairman to help us repair the Merry!!"
No one knew how long they had been flying in the air, but finally, a magnificent city appeared before everyone's eyes.
It was a very magnificent city.
The scorching sun melted the canals of the Seven Water City into liquid sapphires, and the seven-layer circular waterways glowed with silver spots at noon.
The spire of the Gothic arch bridge pierced the steam cloud, the red brick dock opened its steel gates, and the sea train swooped down from the third floor wrapped in white steam. Its wheels rolled over the rails soaked in sea water, and the splashing water droplets evaporated into tiny rainbows in the air.
At Tom's shipyard, twelve mechanical cranes looked like centipedes under the strong light, moving the completed ships aside.
Salt frost floated on the bronze backs of the shipbuilders, the blue flames of welding torches and the golden fire of the smelting furnace intertwined in the dock, and the sound of cast iron hammers startled the seabirds dozing on the wooden piles of the dock.
Docks of all sizes are filled with ships waiting to be built or being built.
He casually threw a fireball which exploded in the air. In an instant, a crane shadow totem suddenly appeared in the air.
After doing all this, Yun Yi docked the Merry directly at the largest dock, and the naval ship under construction was thrown aside by him in a very rough way.
When the Merry landed, Yun Yi transformed himself into a new set of clothes.
It was a blue and white European-style formal suit, with waves and conch patterns faintly visible on the cuffs and hem.
On his forehead, behind a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, are a pair of deep blue eyes full of a desire to explore.
Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the six mechanical tentacles behind him, with fine scales engraved on the surface and internal gears rotating rapidly.
Dark blue energy flows through it, and flashes of electric light jump between the tentacles from time to time, which is extremely mysterious.
"This is the Seven Waters City, home to the strongest shipbuilders in the world."
"Everyone go down first, we will do our best to rescue the Merry."
Hearing this, Luffy and the others didn't say much, but took out the ladder and climbed under the Merry.
Yun Yi did not climb the ladder. He tapped the air with his toes and reached the ground first. Then he turned and looked at the Merry.
Reaching out to touch the ice ship under the Merry, all the ice disappeared without a trace in an instant. However, the two ice spikes stuck in the hull did not melt.
Not long after everyone got off the boat, suddenly, a large group of people came to Yun Yi.
The leader was fat, with a face full of white beard and two small and cute horns on his head.
This person is Yun Yi’s old acquaintance in the Seven Water City, the fishman Tom, the world’s strongest ship repairman.
"Uncle Tom!!" As soon as he saw Tom, Yun Yi led Luffy and the others to walk towards him quickly.
"Luffy, this is Uncle Tom, the strongest ship repairman in the world. He built the ship of the former Pirate King Roger."
"Uncle Tom, this is Luffy, the leader of the Straw Hat Pirates. He's my brother and my current captain!"
"Ahahahaha, looks like a very strong young man!" Uncle Tom smiled kindly at Luffy.
"Luffy, this is Iceberg, that cyborg is Franky, and the fishman Arlong..."
"Shut up!" Hearing Yun Yi was about to introduce everyone one by one, Frankie yelled at Yun Yi impatiently, interrupting him, "Why did you call us here?"
"Do you know that the island is very busy right now? Occupying Dock No. 1 means huge losses every day!"
"Uh..." Hearing Franky's words, Yun Yi was not angry at all, "Okay, Uncle Tom, I called you here this time mainly to ask you to rescue this ship."
"It's a ..."
Before Yun Yi could finish speaking, Franky suddenly shot out his arm, grabbed the railing of the Merry and came to the side of the ship.
"The arm flew out!!!" Chopper and others looked at Franky who was flying out with horror.
"Haha, he is a cyborg, equivalent to a robot that can walk." Yun Yi explained to Chopper and others with a smile.
"Robot, it's so high!!"
However, after Franky stood on the boat and studied it carefully, he flew out again with fire spewing from his feet.
"It's boring. The ship is completely scrapped."
"The keel is broken, the mast is broken, the bottom of the ship is shattered, and the hull is damaged by more than 80%. Even the current hull structure depends on the two ice pillars to maintain it."
"Once the icicles melt, the ship will not last for more than half a day and will become a wreck."
"If you want it to continue sailing, you have to replace every plank of the ship, but that would be like building a new triangular sail ship that is completely out of date."
"It has nothing to do with the ship you are on now, except that it looks the same!"
"Compared to this, you might as well order a new ship and abandon this one!"
