Master of Power in One Piece World

Chapter 73 Conversation Between Father and Son

when!when!
The rhythmic knocking sound became clearer, and Mayhew looked at the hole above.

Well, the people inside didn't find themselves.

Thinking of this, he slowly got down on his stomach, and poked his head obliquely upwards.With one hand resting on the stone steps, the other held the ax in his hand.

"Dang Dang, Dang"

A drop of sweat ran down his face, and with concentration, he could even hear the sound of rain behind the beating.

Carefully poking his head out, his eyes widened.

This is a space not much smaller than the outside.What was hoisted was a boat that was almost completed.Looking at it like that, I don't know how much more refined than my original boat.

On one side of the boat, a tall figure wielded a hammer, and as the hammer fell, the wooden planks that he held onto his shoulders were also fixed to the boat.

Behind one boat and one person is an open huge hole.In the distance, the black cloud seems to have merged with the sea, rolling silently, like a monster that wants to devour everything.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a thick bolt of lightning leaked out of the dark cloud.The loud noise that came one step later came in from afar and began to reverberate throughout the space.

But the faint thunder light illuminated the people beside the boat.It was a familiar face that Mayhew was familiar with.

"Father, Father".

Mayhew lost his voice in horror.

How could my father be here? No, there is such a big space here.Not right either!How can he build a ship here.

Under the confusion, his thoughts were entangled for a while, and he forgot what he should ask

when!
Martin at work maintains the vigilance he should have.With ears accustomed to buzzing, I vaguely heard that voice.

So, he looked towards the passage he had dug. .

".
In the silence, the sound of rain at the entrance of the cave behind him remained.

Mayhew came back to his senses, hurriedly threw away the ax in his hand, and crawled out of the hole in twos and threes.

After coming out, he suddenly froze on the spot, looking up at his father.With complicated emotions, he didn't know what to say for a while.

A bunch of questions filled his mind.

".What are you doing here"

Martin said with a cold face.

Driven by some kind of emotion, this tough father, who doesn't like to talk, took the initiative to ask his child questions for the first time.

Not aware of his strangeness, Mayhew subconsciously mocked: "Shouldn't I talk about you?".

This was the first time he spoke to his father in this tone.

For so many years, he and others were not allowed to inquire about the outside world, laughing at his idea of ​​going out to sea, even if it was building a ship, he would secretly build it.

but himself
Ah!
Mayhew shook his head, with indescribable anger in his expression.

For a moment, Martin didn't know what to say.He was silent for a moment, then bent over and picked up a wooden plank from the support platform at his feet, and after propping it up with his shoulders, he continued to swing the hammer.

"when!"

"Don't you want to say something!"

His attitude made Mayhew even more angry.Amidst the knocking sound, he questioned.

I despise my dream of going to sea, but in the end I plan to go out by myself.Doesn't he have no shame at all!

In the wide space, the youth's voice echoed.

when!
After hammering the nail, Martin stopped what he was doing.Looking at his angry son on the ground, it was the first time he saw his own child like this.

In his memory, the little boy who always dodged under his gaze gradually overlapped with this figure.

".What do you think, what should I say?"

Martin looked calm.That way, it's as normal as asking what's for dinner tonight. .

"Say something. Why are you building a ship? When did you hollow out this place! Also! Why do you want to stop me from going to sea!".

Being watched by him like this, Mayhew repeated his question, and then asked quickly.

There are also some messy thoughts, which make his questions a little confusing.

There are too many problems in his mind.

Martin looked back at the boat in front of him, and seemed to have expected so many questions from him.There was an emotion that Mayhew couldn't understand in his eyes.

hate?miss?
It was an indescribable feeling, like entangled vines, which made people unable to find the clue.

But he doesn't care, he just wants an answer!
".There is such a large space here, I just repaired the passage"

After a long silence, Martin said slowly, his voice was still clear amidst the pattering rain.

"As for this ship, I did not build it."

"Huh? You didn't make it, could it be that he was here in the first place?"

Mayhew couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud.

Casting him a glance, Martin continued: "No one on our island can build a boat of this level."

Mayhew silently looked at the hoisted boat, the dark brown appearance did not look like it was newly built, it was the color of the wood after precipitation.

Moreover, there is no such craft of shipbuilding on their island.

They only need to go fishing around the island, and most of the boats are a kind of raft.This shipbuilding method is more like the techniques of those outsiders.

Based on this month's help, he also has some understanding of these things.

Wait, aliens!

With a guess in mind, Mayhew looked at Martin in disbelief, hoping to get an answer from him.

"I can't build a boat like this"

Martin's mouth was mocking: "That's what that bastard made."

He still remembers how he believed him and took him out to sea.That was his first and last 'friend' outside the island.

"But, he wasn't at the time."

"Without the means to go to sea, would he reveal his nature in such a hurry?"

Interrupting his words, Martin spoke.In fact, in his opinion, the appearance of that fruit is not a bad thing.

At least, let that bastard expose himself early.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to say what they would face after the ship was built and set out to sea.

That kind of person!Can't do anything good!
Accepting his statement, Mayhew continued to ask: "... Then why are you thinking about building a ship again? Aren't you the most opposed to my going to sea?".

This is what he cares most about and why he is angry.

He could see that, except for the new boards on the side where his father worked, everything else had been done before.

That said, he only recently changed his mind.

"Don't you know?"

Martin's rhetorical question made him a little uncertain: "Ren and the others?"

Seeing his father's acquiescence, he couldn't help but defend himself: "You know. They are not bad people, they just came here to repair, and they didn't hurt everyone in the village."

After getting along for a month, he could feel the kindness of those people.

"They're not the kind of people you meet, you can't"

"Of course I know!"

After fixing the board, Martin waved his hand. Couldn't he see it clearly than this bastard?
"But what about the others?"

Mayhew was at a loss: "What, what other people".

"What about the other people who landed on the island? Do you still think of them like this. And, how do you know that those people won't publicize our existence?"

"At that time, can you guarantee that the people who come here are all with good intentions? How can you guarantee the safety of the village!"

The series of questions on his face made Mayhew a little confused.

He really didn't think about these questions.

"So, you plan to go to sea by yourself and find a new way out for the village? Get the weapons outside?"

Mayhew understood his father's thoughts, but.
"The outermost sea area is full of eddies, with man-eating sharks on one side and that monster on the other, where are you going to go from?"

He walked back and forth, thinking about the way out to sea.

For his father to think the same as himself, there is a little joy in his heart that he himself has not noticed.

"Wait, you want to go with them, right! If they can come in, they must know the way we don't."

Suddenly, Mayhew clapped his fists and looked at his father excitedly.

But
when!when!
"...you can take me with Heisenberg, we can help you steer and repair the ship".

Martin stopped what he was doing and looked at him quietly.

Mayhew understood the disdain in his eyes: two idiots who wrecked the ship in less than a day at sea
"It's different, Dad, your relationship with them is so stiff, and your body is also inconvenient."

In the cave, the sound of arguing in shame sounded, with unconcealable flattery and excitement
