Pirates: Invincible at the beginning

Doto walked up to the many boat workers.

He nodded to the boatmen, and then walked through the passage that the boatmen left and walked towards a huge vertical switch behind them.

"Together!"

Doto bent down and picked up the rope on the ground, turned around and smiled at the many boatmen.

One end of the rope is tied into the hole on the top of the switch, and the other end is lying on the ground.

Although machines can be used, this old shipyard still made a manual switch. Every time a new ship goes to sea, they want to send the ship to sea by hand.

"Okay, boss!"

The boatmen glanced at the New Liberty, turned and walked behind Doto with smiles on their lips, all holding the rope with both hands.

They were going to open the door together and let this, the crowning masterpiece of their current Carter Shipbuilding Company, into the sea.

"Hey……"

Everyone worked hard together, and the slack rope was immediately stretched straight.

Ka Ka Ka Ka! !

The switch was pulled down a little bit by everyone's strength.

With a final "click", it opened completely.

At this moment, the entire dockyard seemed to suddenly come to life.

After a slight tremor on the ground, the sound of countless gears turning was heard throughout the underground.

Then there were countless dark holes under the New Liberty, like fountains, with water gushing out.

Bang, bang, bang...

On the front of the dock, in front of the pool where the New Freedom stayed, a huge door gradually rose upwards under the pull of the iron chain.

Sunlight and wind suddenly poured in, making the slightly dark and dull dock suddenly clear.

The new Liberty should now be the bow of the "Liberty".

Sorata narrowed his eyes and put his hand on his forehead to block the sudden dazzling sunlight.

Then he turned around and glanced at Doto and the many boatmen under the boat, with a smile on his face.

He turned around, with the sun behind him, and raised his hands to Ahua and Aluo, who had already taken the elevator to the top of the mast, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, Yang Fan, let's go."

"Haha!! Okay, my captain."

Arlo laughed and let go of the rope in his hand.

"I can't wait to go to the sky."

Ahua on the second mast also loosened the rope.

Suddenly, two huge sails slid down from the beam at the top of the mast.

In the third-floor pilothouse in the rear cabin, A Tao sat on a chair and looked at the console in front of him with a serious expression, but he could not hide the excitement in his eyes.

Basically everything on the ship is controlled electrically, thanks to the huge generator.

He reached out and pressed a button on the operating panel in front of him.

The loose sails lowered above were suddenly tightened amidst the friction of gears.

The operation panel in front of you can control the tightness and steering of the sail, as well as the direction of the ship. There is no need to manually pull the rudder stick to control it.

A Tao placed his hands on the circular steering wheel on the panel and looked through the glass in front at Sorata standing on the bow of the ship. Then he looked through Sorata and looked at the boundless sea outside the giant door of the dock.

He reached out his right hand and pressed the big button in the middle of the steering wheel.

boom--!

The entire hull suddenly trembled, and then the huge propeller at the stern started to spin.

The spiral churned the water, pushing the huge hull forward slowly, slowly.

I saw the boat moving.

Sorata jumped off the bow of the windmill and landed on the deck of the bow.

He walked to the side of the ship, lay down on the guardrail, raised his hands and shouted to Dotto and the many boatmen who were still standing by the side of the boat: "Goodbye, Mr. Dotto, and goodbye to the boatmen."

"goodbye……"

Doto and many boatmen also raised their hands to Sorata and shouted.

The boat sailed outside the giant gate, then its bow turned 45 degrees downward, following the water flow, and rushed out quickly like an arrow leaving the string.

Outside the dock is an artificial waterway with a 45-degree inclination leading directly to the sea.

It was built by Carter Shipbuilding Company specifically for new ships to sail.

"Woo, oh!"

"It's really comfortable!"

Ahua and Aluo got off the mast, ran to the bow, looked at the boundless sea in the distance, roared loudly, their faces were full of excitement, then opened their arms, their hair was blown by the sea wind, as if they were about to hug. This is the same adventure that is about to begin.

We are about to go to the legendary Sky Island.

For them, there is nothing more exciting than going to the sea or the sky.

At the last moment when the Liberty left the dock, Sorata glanced at the sheep's head on the bow of the former Liberty again, with a trace of reluctance in his eyes, "Goodbye 'Pseudo Merry'."

This is a name that only he knows.

I hope it stays well in Carter Company!

In fact, it is a cruel thing for a ship not to be able to sail on the sea.

But the Pseudo-Merry really couldn't continue sailing with them. Its construction material was the most ordinary wood, and it could sail around the world. But as soon as it entered the Grand Line, Kong Tai discovered its screams.

So changing ships is inevitable.

Originally, the plan was to burn the Pseudo-Merry and return it to the sea.

But in the end, Carter Dotto, the owner of the shipbuilding company, personally collected the Pseudo Meri, so I guess this may be the best home for it!

They might be able to come back and see it sometime. It can be regarded as a witness and commemoration of their short but memorable voyage!

Sorata withdrew his gaze, turned to look at the sea, and reached out to brush away the hair that was blowing on his face and blocking his sight.

Then he raised the wine gourd and took a big sip.

Next is a new voyage.

"Is it an empty island?"

He has been looking forward to it for a long time!

When it comes to the places he wants to visit most in the One Piece world, Nakushima must be one of them.

There is a civilization that is completely different from that of the sea, there is a strange shellfish culture, and there is a long-eared false god who is called a "god", but is actually as virtuous as Crocodile and only relies on the power of the fruit. There are countless others. The unclear gold has delicacies that are different from the sea, and has...

There were many, many things he wanted to see and know.

"I'm really looking forward to it!"

dock.

The Pseudo-Merry, with the sheep's head on the front of the bow.

When Korata turned his head and the Liberty disappeared from the plane of view, the sheep head didn't know if it was an illusion. It seemed that the corners of its mouth were slightly raised, as if it was smiling, as if it was blessing its owner and its companions. .

On the side of the canal, after the Liberty disappeared, the boatmen all looked away, opened their mouths, and yawned widely.

"Boss, if nothing happens, let's go back and rest first!"

The boatmen turned their heads and looked at Doto.

Working around the clock for five days is not something even an iron man can endure, let alone ordinary boatmen like them.

If it weren't for the boss's persistence that moved them.

Of course, money is also indispensable as motivation.

They might have fallen asleep long ago.

"Well! Go!"

Doto did not look at the boatman, but turned around and walked toward the giant door.

He wanted to watch the Liberty sail away from Cat Island.

"Then let's go. Boss, you should go to bed early and don't exhaust yourself. There are still orders to come! Although it's not urgent, we can't accomplish anything without you!"

"I got it, go ahead!"

Doto walked to the giant door, looked at the sea, and waved to the boatmen behind him.

After a while, the boatmen walked out of the No. 2 dock one after another.

The previously bustling shipyard suddenly became quiet.

At this time, Duotuo was the only one in the dock.

He leaned against the frame of the huge door on the left side of his body, took out a cigarette from his trouser pocket, put it in his mouth, lit it, and took a deep breath to dispel the fatigue in his body.

Then he raised his head, looked at the Liberty in the distance facing the rising sun, and drifted away, and silently blessed him in his heart.

"Have a safe journey, my friends."
