Vice Captain of One Piece

Chapter 141 Travels to Shipbuilding Island (1)

'That person's disguise technique just now is good, and it's also very powerful.Judging from the workmanship and materials of the orchid, she should have something to do with that kid Raphael, or someone from their country.I remember that kid’s headband seemed to be embroidered with a golden orchid with gold thread. Although it’s a bit subjective, I probably guessed right. I just don’t know if that person was an enemy or a friend, or a temporary one like Raphael. Can't tell friend from foe...', Anke opened the map, looked at the map but recalled the scene just now in his mind, 'There is something else in this city besides the powerful aura that she suddenly didn't hide.Just in case, I'd better put her on the enemy's side first, after all, that person must already know my identity, and has a strong foundation in illusion, and her ability is also very strange.Next, let's look for the aura that is a little stronger than Luffy... Is it in the central street above? '

’ But what exactly was holding the swordfish underwater just now? ’, knocking on the handle of the umbrella with her fingers in doubt, Anke looked up at the white umbrella transformed by Xuelian. Not sure what those are.Unable to figure it out, Enke had to put the matter aside for the time being, and then carefully looked at the map in his hand, "I remember just now an uncle said that the watergate elevator can go up to Center Street and Shipbuilding Island...", look left and right Encore, who was looking at it, nailed his eyes to a tower-like thing on the steel fence, "It should be there..."

The pink swordfish slowly approached the tower. Even after experiencing the incident just now, the swordfish still had that grinning expression, just like a certain straw hat.Anke suddenly smiled, raised his umbrella and turned his head sideways to look at an alleyway near the water gate elevator. There were many people wearing masks, and all kinds of masks were eye-catching.But Encore's eyes only stayed on the thin figure leaning against the wall and staring in the direction of the Watergate elevator.As if feeling Encore's attention, the figure stretched out his gloved right hand and pulled the mask that covered the entire face, then walked back slowly, and after a while, he merged into the masked figures of various colors and disappeared .

"One after another, it's really annoying..." Anke frowned slightly, and then stopped looking at the alleyway, "The old lady just now may be from the country of the kid, so this breath is not very strong... Which organization is it? ', after thinking for a while, Encore didn't delve into it, after all, they can figure it out when they find it by themselves.

"Come in!!" A green-haired female staff member standing in the corridor outside the elevator was pointing at the huge elevator entrance with one hand, shouting: "The elevator is leading to the shipbuilding island, it will reach the shipbuilding factory and 【waterseven】 Central Street! Please hurry up and enter the central door! There is still 1 minute before the door closes~~”

Sitting leisurely with an umbrella on the BULL and entering the watergate elevator, Anke took advantage of the time before the door was closed to look at this watergate elevator that he had never seen before: the watergate elevator goes straight up like a well, but there is no exit from the top , It should be sealed, and the door above is also closed.Facing the main entrance is a pipe mouth that continuously gushes out water, and the design is very simple.At this moment, the elevator valve was slowly closed, and the inside was plunged into darkness. With the sound of rushing water, the water level in the elevator continued to rise, and the BULL swimming on it also rose.

'After the door is closed, the water in the pipeline cannot go out, and then the water level in the elevator rises, and when it reaches the top, the door is opened to let the water flow out, and the guests go up because of this.It really deserves to be the city of water, who can handle everything~', Anke smiled and watched the rising water level gradually stabilize, followed by a door directly in front of it rising slowly, and the glare of light shot into the dark elevator, It takes a while to get used to it.Encore, who quickly adapted to this change, looked at the newer and more majestic building outside, and what caught the eye was the thick iron gate, which was nearly 50 meters high and ten meters wide, on which was written a huge " On both sides of the iron gate is a simple wooden fence with a height of one meter, which connects the nearby houses and encloses the construction site inside.It didn't take long for An Ke to be attracted by the lively scene not far from the elevator exit. To be precise, what attracted her was not the lively scene, but because the person she was looking for was in that group of people.

"Go over there and take a look..." He gave Swordfish an order lightly, and Anke leisurely continued to hold his umbrella and look around.After touching his face suddenly, he stretched out his left hand without an umbrella into the boat, and transformed into an exquisite white half-face mask to put on, just like people participating in mask carnivals that can be seen everywhere on the street, although the dress is a bit Simple, but better than being watched by others.Although she can change to a public face or transform into a passerby at any time, she still wants to maintain this face for a longer time.I simply want to walk around with my grown-up appearance, even if the process is a bit troublesome, I want to walk around with my 17-year-old appearance. I know that I am deceiving myself, but I still believe in the illusion I made.It's a very simple and pure reason, but it makes people feel distressed inexplicably.

When BULL came to the shore and stopped, Anke carefully walked up the clean street with the hem of his skirt, and came to a crowd of onlookers. On the flat ground, many people in ordinary clothes were sawing planks with various tools or walking around carrying various wood equipment, looking very busy.On a house under construction, a man with a hat is sawing planks with a surprisingly large saw. The square long nose is as good as Usopp; below is a man with a black top hat and a white vest He is hammering a nail, and what is striking is a white pigeon with a red tie standing on his shoulder. The people working in it are all strong and muscular.

Laughter kept coming out, there was a ferocious man inside who was holding a long knife and smiling, and there was a huge yellow crescent moon on the hat the man was wearing, and there were a lot of people holding knives behind him. The person with the gun should be a pirate.Cleverly finding a corner where the entire square can be seen, Anke smiled and waited for the next scene. It is said that the ship repairers on this island are all very skilled, which made her look forward to it.

After the pirate leader continued to laugh a few times, he said to a man in front of him with yellow hair and blue overalls who was sawing wood with a saw: "Hahaha, we have thought about it carefully, we have really thought about it, although it is Please help repair the ship, but how do you think the repair fee is too expensive!"

The man who was biting his cigar and wearing yellow diving goggles was unmoved, but raised his head and said impatiently: "You are hindering me," and then continued to work, ignoring the long hair that the pirate leader had already put on his neck. knife.

"So I won't pay the [-] million ship repair fee, thank you for repairing the ship to a new look~~hahahahaha!! And it's free~~hahaha~~~"

Directly ignoring the pirate, Encore just looked at everyone in the factory, and came to a conclusion for the time being: "The man in the blue overalls is considered strong, while the man with the rectangular long nose and the man with the pigeon are obviously the strongest." He's not an ordinary person, he has an aura that's been hidden even if he tried his best...'

At this time, the crowd suddenly moved out of the way automatically, as if someone of high authority was coming.Opening the umbrella slightly, Anke looked over from the edge of the umbrella, and found a man wearing an orange vertical stripe suit and black suit pants approaching, with very short dark blue hair that was capable of being a high-ranking person, and, the man There is also a small white mouse in the breast suit pocket.Behind the man was a woman in a neat yellow suit, with simple tied yellow hair and shrewd eyes behind glasses, plus the standard gesture of holding a document, all of which meant that she was the man's secretary or something.

Stretching out his hand to touch the little white mouse's head, the man seemed a little puzzled and asked his secretary: "Karifa, what is that?"

"Yes, Mr. Bingshan, that's a guest of Dock No. [-]. Now that the ship has been repaired, he says he can't pay for it!" Khalifa deftly handed the document in his hand to Bingshan, then stretched out his hand and pushed his glasses expressionlessly. Said: "This is harassment."Not far away, Anke saw sharply that it was a reward order issued by the pirate leader just now, and then casually looked at Bingshan and Kalifa, "That Bingshan should be the person who was introduced by Granny Ke Keluo to us to repair the ship." , but the woman next to him is not a simple character.Also, the man with the dove and the man with the oblong nose among the workers is also interesting, especially the dove...',
"Ah, it's harassment..." Bingshan was a little speechless, and then his eyes were attracted by An Ke who was holding an umbrella in the corner not far away. From his perspective, he didn't see An Ke's appearance, but I find it a bit strange, after all, she is the only one holding an umbrella among all the people I can see, she looks a bit out of place, and the pure white dress is also a bit at odds with this messy ship repair yard, although they are standing in the repair yard. The outermost part of the shipyard.

At this time, a man carrying a huge piece of wood passed by the laughing pirate leader, and then turned around accidentally. The thick wood hit the head of the pirate leader, hitting him directly. De rolled his eyes and fell to the ground, while his subordinates exclaimed.

Knowing that he had bumped into someone, the boatman just turned his head and said casually: "Ah, I'm sorry..."

"You bastard!! Give me a good look around before you move anything!!", one of his subordinates yelled at the man angrily, but as soon as the yelling was over, the man with the rectangular nose held up the pistol The saw, which was twice as big, jumped down from the top, directly chopped on the person who spoke, and then apologized without any regret: "Ah, I'm sorry..."

"You bastards, do you want to fight? Who do you think we are????" Seeing the approaching boatmen, the pirates all gathered into a group and threatened viciously. The person with the pigeon threw it away.Immediately afterwards, a shell was shot directly into the pile of pirates, and then there was a bang, and all the pirates lay there with their eyes rolled.

"There is no reason for the pirates to run rampant in the boat repairers' territory!" The man in blue looked at the bloody pirate leader and said this coldly, and then he and the other boatmen put the fainted The pirate lifted it up and prepared to throw it somewhere else, moving quickly.The crowd around cheered all of a sudden, and from time to time came out a few words, "Wow~ That's Mr. Lu Qi, so handsome~~" "Where's Barry? He was still there just now, where did he go?" "Here is Lulu, You are so sophisticated and worthy of being a man among men..." and other compliments.

"It's pretty amazing..." Anke commented lightly, watching the boatman inside quietly, and suddenly smiled when he saw the man with the pigeon.Sensing that someone was looking at him with sizing eyes, the man cautiously looked at the cheering crowd, and looked past the white figure before looking at other people. He was puzzled and didn't see any strange people, except his own big man. boss.

"They are not only highly skilled ship repairers, but also people with outstanding martial arts skills. They are the pride of [waterseven]!" Bing Shan, who didn't know when he walked to Anke's side, explained in this way, and turned around suspiciously when he heard the voice. The over-the-top Anke said with a smile: "I am the mayor of this city, and I am also the chairman of Galley-La Company Bingshan. Are you a person who came here from other islands to participate in the masquerade carnival?"

"It's sort of..." Anke answered ambiguously, and looked towards the venue where the busy work resumed.And the crowd of spectators gradually dispersed, and the deserted outside the fence returned.

"It's new here, you definitely don't know the excellent boatman there, let me introduce you~" I don't know whether it's because of boredom or something, Bingshan really started to introduce the people inside seriously, "The one with the pigeon is Rob Lucci, the one with the bare upper body is Lulu, the one with the long nose is Kaku, ah, Barry is not here, where did he go..."

"Master Bingshan! You shouldn't say so much to a stranger. Moreover, as you, you should always know how to protect yourself!", Khalifa dutifully blocked in front of Bingshan, pushed his glasses and looked at the Shan looked at Anke at the construction site ahead, "Also, it's disrespectful to not look at Master Bingshan when he was talking!"

"That's really disrespectful..." Slowly turning around to face them, Anke looked at Kalifa who was still cautiously blocking in front of him, and just smiled softly, just like a lady who came out to relax , "I'm just a little curious about it..."

"Then, let me take you in for a stroll..." Before Bingshan finished speaking, he was immediately interrupted by Califa dutifully: "Sorry, Mr. Bingshan, outsiders are not allowed to go inside."

"Don't be so rigid, Khalifa." He poked the head of the little white mouse in his pocket in annoyance, and the iceberg actually stepped over the simple wooden fence one meter high. This action once again shocked Khalifa: "Iceberg My lord! You can enter through the main entrance!! This can easily hurt you!!"

"Don't worry about it, Kalifa." After easily entering inside like a thief, Bingshan made an inviting gesture to Encore outside the fence, "Then please come in, miss."

"..." After a few seconds of silence, Califa pushed his glasses and said calmly, "Master Bingshan, a lady shouldn't behave in such a disrespectful manner in public..."

"Ah, is that so..."

At this moment, Luffy and the others who exchanged the gold for three boxes of money at the other end of the long fence also came here. As for how dark and sinister the process of repaying the money is, seeing the orange-haired Sailing with a blooming smile on his face Doctors will be able to know. "Ah, I saw an acquaintance, I'll go over for a while, excuse me..." Nodding gracefully at the iceberg inside, Anke leisurely walked towards Luffy and the others with a small white umbrella, passing by without looking sideways A deadpan Kalifa.After the remaining iceberg and Khalifa looked at each other for a while, the mayor of the iceberg ended up climbing out of it again.

"We're back at the entrance of the shipyard~~~", not noticing Encore in the far corner, Luffy looked at the huge iron gate in front of him with a smile, Usopp carrying two iron boxes and Nami of a box also came next to him.

"Anyway, let's look for it first, that... what is it called??" Luffy, empty-handed, struggled to think about who he was looking for.

Nami, who had been holding the money box with both hands, reminded lightly: "Iceberg."

"Ah, yes, the iceberg!"

Usopp put the two boxes on the ground, and asked suspiciously: "Although the mother-in-law at the station said that you can ask him, who is he? Or can we take a look first?"

At this time, Luffy, who was already stepping on the wooden fence and was about to climb over, raised his hand and said, "Excuse me~~"

"Here we go again..." Nami and Usopp, who were covered in cold sweat, looked at Luffy who was already on the fence.

"Hey, wait a minute..." An orange shadow flashed in front of Luffy, put his index finger against his forehead to prevent him from coming in, the long brim of the hat covered his eyes, and the high collar also covered his The chin and mouth are covered, but unfortunately the ridiculously long western-shaped nose still shows his identity, "You are a foreigner, anyway, I have something to say outside now. Idlers are forbidden to enter the factory."

Luffy, who retreated, saw Kaku's raised head, to be precise, Kaku's long nose, and his face instantly became as strange as Nami and Usopp's, and he opened his mouth wide in astonishment.

Kaku, who crawled out of it by himself, tidied up the repair tools he was carrying, and then asked Luffy and the others: "Is there anything you want to come to this dock?"

"Ah, it's Usopp!" said Luffy, who quickly came to a conclusion after seeing the long nose, but Usopp punched him on the head as soon as he finished speaking: "Hey, I'm here What, Luffy!!"

"That's right, this person is square..." Nami stared blankly at Kaku's long nose.And Luffy nodded understandingly when he heard this sentence: "That means this person is a square Usopp!"

The ashamed Usopp added weakly: "That...I am neither triangular nor square..."

"Oh, that's right..." Nami, remembering the business, took out the white paper given by Mrs. Ke Keluo and handed it to Kaku, "We are here to find Mr. Bingshan..."

"He came to see Mr. Bingshan? That's a distinguished guest!" After taking the paper and studying it for a long time, Kaku finally said in understanding: "So that's it, it's a letter of introduction from Mrs. Sifu Keluo..."

Luffy suddenly looked at Kaku strangely and said something inexplicable: "Ah... are you an old man?"

"I'm only 23 years old."

"What is 'old age'? Isn't this an old man's accent?" Usopp also couldn't understand.

"Hahaha, everyone said that about me..." Kaku just laughed a few times, but was not angry.

Nami asked, "So, do you know Mr. Bingshan?"

"How could you not know him? Mr. Bingshan is the mayor of [waterseven], not only that, he is also the boss of our Gally-La company, and also manages the sea train. Anyway, there is no one in [waterseven] who doesn't know him .”

Nami asked, "Where can I meet him?"

"Well, where is he now? Anyway, if he's not in the dormitory, he's busy up there. He's full of attention."

"Can't get in touch with him?" Nami asked anxiously.

"It's not that I can't get in touch, are you in a hurry?" Seeing Nami's appearance, Kaku smiled, and then gave her the paper, then untied the tools tied to his body, and moved his body while pressing his legs on the ground , "Hahaha, you just want to repair the boat, right? Where is the boat parked?"

Unclear why he asked that, Usopp still replied: "Over there on the headland with many rocks..."

"Okay, then the old man will go over and have a look at the appearance of the ship first, so that it will be convenient for us to talk about it after meeting Mr. Bingshan, and we can also talk about the repair fee."

"You said you want to go and see first, are you going to take a swordfish BULL?" Usopp asked suspiciously.

"Hahaha, if that's the case, you will get impatient, just give me 10 minutes." After the activity, Kaku crouched and squatted down, and then ran quickly, the movement was so fast that he was already far away when he was speaking , jumped up when running close to the watergate elevator, and then crossed the high wall like the wind, and then was blocked by the wall and fell down.

"Wow, it's flying!!" Luffy, who was still amazed a second ago, suddenly remembered that there was a vertical cliff on the other side of the wall, and immediately exclaimed: "Wow!! That's a cliff over there!!"

"Wow, it fell!!!", Nami and Usopp, who also thought of this, also exclaimed, "Is he all right??"
