Chapter 59 Mary's Superpowers
On the other side of Water Seven, a warship was floating on the sea, where Garp and his crew were resupplying.
"Garp, you bastard!!" Sengoku roared, "You and Aokiji both went to Water 7, why didn't you take down the Straw Hat Pirates?!"
The Warring States period was furious. What were those two guys thinking? Were they trying to sabotage him?
Garp, his face covered in spittle from a Den Den Mushi, calmly wiped it and said, "Sengoku, you know me. I just didn't manage to catch them..."
"You're talking nonsense!" Sengoku interrupted Garp, saying, "Don't I know you?!"
"I didn't catch him, so what?" Garp said matter-of-factly. "He's my grandson!"
Warring States Period:
"You bastard, if you don't take care of them today, you won't get your vacation for the rest of the year!"
"Kaka~"
Garp looked at the Den Den Mushi that had been hung up on, his expression displeased. He was just a Fleet Admiral, what was he so arrogant about?
"Damn it, how dare he insult me!" Garp said angrily. "Take all his senbei when we get back."
Bogart: ....
You haven't taken enough?
"What are you all looking at me for? Hurry up and finish resupplying, then go catch them!"
"profound!"
Garp, still fuming, went to the side to get something to eat, only to see Aokiji resting on a deck chair, which made him even angrier.
"Kuzan brat, what are you doing here?" Garp said unhappily, "You made me get scolded by Sengoku."
Aokiji: .....
Is the old man being scolded really related to him? Isn't it because he himself couldn't bear to lay a hand on his grandson that he was scolded?
However, seeing the unfriendly look in Garp's eyes, Aokiji wisely refrained from refuting him.
"I'm asking you a question!"
"Ah~"
"It's too much trouble to go back by myself; it's better to take a warship."
Garp snorted, but didn't continue to cause trouble for Aokiji, since the guy hadn't made a move against his grandson since arriving in Water Seven.
He still needs to acknowledge this relationship.
"Vice Admiral Garp, the latest news is that the Straw Hat Pirates have headed to the shore of Water 7, where they are said to have a new ship."
"Are they planning to set sail?" Garp waved his hand and said, "Speed up the resupply! Let's take them down!"
"yes!"
"Is that really how it is...?" Lying to the side, Aokiji put the blindfold on his face, thinking helplessly, "If I really wanted to take action, I could have gone and taken them down right now."
Well, let Garp worry about his family matters on his own.
Ah ~
Meanwhile, the Straw Hat Pirates, having arrived at the shipwreck area, were running back and forth on their newest ship with expressions of delight, clearly very satisfied with it.
"This is the ship Franky gave us?!" Luffy exclaimed with laughter, "I'm so satisfied!!"
"No wonder Franky said he'd give us a big surprise..." Nami said, "This surprise is huge."
"west Yan, bring out the furniture."
west Yan nodded, took the furniture out of the scroll, released his clones to do the work, and walked over to Mei Li's side.
"Merry, how are you? Can you still use your abilities?"
Hearing west Yan say this, the others curiously gathered around.
"I'll give it a try."
Mary closed her eyes and reached out her little hand to touch the hull of the ship, as if she were sensing something.
Seeing this, the others did not disturb her and waited quietly for Mary to speak.
A moment later, Mary opened her eyes and exclaimed with delight, "It's okay!"
"Really!"
"Yes!" Melly nodded and said, "I can sense the presence of this ship and can attach my abilities to it."
"I could say that I could operate this ship if I wanted to."
The current Merry is perfectly capable of operating the Going Merry just as she did before.
"If that's the case, wouldn't Merry be able to seize control of other pirate ships?!" west Yan said. If that's the case, then this little guy is quite powerful. He could sneak onto another ship without anyone noticing and then manipulate it to cause trouble!
"This..." Melly hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'm not sure if it will work."
Why do you say that?
"Because the ship did not resist me."
"She didn't resist you?"
Zoro looked at Merry with a puzzled expression, not understanding her meaning for a moment.
"Yes, she didn't resist me."
Seeing the puzzled looks on everyone's faces, Melly explained, "Each ship has its own consciousness, which can only be sensed by our ship spirits or... some very special people."
The hesitation that followed stemmed from Mei's limited understanding of the world, making her hesitant to offer any guarantees.
"Pirate ships actually have consciousness?"
Luffy was a little surprised; he thought only the Going Merry was special.
"Otherwise, why do you think the ship can sense the crew's care for it?" Mary countered.
With this explanation, everyone immediately understood what Mary meant.
If the ship itself does not possess consciousness, it cannot sense the crew's care for it, let alone give birth to a ship spirit.
"So, the ship's consciousness didn't resist you...?" west Yan stroked his chin and said, "Is it because it's a new ship?"
Mei thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "It should be."
In any case, she didn't feel any resistance on this ship. On the contrary, that vague consciousness seemed to like her.
Whether other ships are willing to accept her control is unknown.
"Perhaps the pirate ship's consciousness inherits the crew's personality," Robin speculated.
"character....
Everyone looked at Merry, then at Chopper, and felt... that there seemed to be some truth to it.
"Hey, Iceberg Uncle, where's Franky?" Luffy ran to the side of the ship and looked down at the iceberg, saying, "We want to thank him in person."
"It seems like he doesn't want to see you anymore."
Luffy was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting Iceberg to say that.
"Straw Hat Boy, are you trying to invite Franky to join your ship as a shipwright?"
"Yes!" Luffy said with a smile, "I've already decided to make him my crewmate."
Upon hearing Luffy's admission, Iceberg smiled happily, a feeling that his younger brother had finally found a home. "Franky has already realized your intentions."
"Does he not want to?"
"That's not the case." Iceberg shook his head and said, "It's precisely because he didn't have the courage to refuse you to your face that he chose this method."
"Actually, he really wanted to go to sea with you, but he forcibly tied himself to this island to fulfill his so-called obligations..."
'
Recalling what Franky had done over the years, Iceberg sighed silently. He understood this bastard very well; he was only doing this to protect the place.
"Straw Hat Boy!"
"If you want to get him out of here, you'll have to use any means necessary!"
"Do everything you can to take him away; that's the only way to free him!"
"That's what the Franky family said too." Xi Yan, who appeared beside Luffy, looked down at the iceberg and said, "Are you sure this is okay?"
"Yes, that's the only way if you want to!"
"Using any means necessary, huh...?" west Yan grinned and said, "Luffy, leave Franky's matter to me."
