Taoist priest, who is so popular in One Piece

As a fan of the original novel, the first time Bai Ye cried his eyes out while watching an anime was at the funeral of the Merry.

Of course Bai Ye takes this great regret extremely seriously.

He looked at Meli with a serious expression:

"Please, Mr. Merry, this ship will be an important partner for our future voyages."

"So, please do your best and use what you have learned throughout your life!"

Hearing this, Merry was first shocked at Bai Ye's emphasis on the pirate ship, and then he became excited.

"No problem, since the funds and materials are so sufficient, I can let go and do what I want!!!"

Originally, Merry planned to give the Merry he had built directly to everyone, but now with Bai Ye's support, the design that he could only imagine before can now be realized.

Then, Merry began to make drastic reforms on the original design of the Merry.

The most important thing is that for the sake of funds and three pirate ships, Merry paid special attention to the sturdiness of the ships, especially the keel part.

But this will take more time.

Fortunately, Bai Ye didn't care. He took advantage of this time to wait for the 153rd branch's naval tool to come and take over the Black Cat Pirates and get the bounty at the same time.

"I didn't expect that just a few days later, Mr. Bai Ye and your companions have done something extraordinary again."

Brian came to Xiluobu Village and had a conversation with Bai Ye with some emotion.

"Hahaha, I hope Mr. Brian doesn't mind me making you run back and forth all the time."

Bai Ye had a good impression of Brian and didn't mind chatting with him for a while.

"How could that be? Without Mr. Byakuya, it would be impossible for the Navy to defeat these pirate groups in such a short time."

Brian also greeted with a smile:

"And the fewer these pirates there are, the more peaceful life the people of the East Sea can live. I should thank you for that."

"but..."

Brian suddenly changed the subject: "Mr. Bai Ye, you are not planning to defeat all the high-bounty pirates, are you?"

He stared at Bai Ye and thought silently, starting from Alrita, these people would defeat stronger pirates every time.

The Buggy Pirates have 1500 million members, and the Black Cat Pirates have 1600 million members.

Damn it, there aren't that many pirates with over tens of millions of pirates left in the East China Sea.

It really is......

Let the Navy rest assured~

"Although some of them are just coincidences, it is clear that what Mr. Brian said is quite good."

Bai Ye smiled and replied, "Defeat all the powerful pirates in the East Sea and make a name for yourself. Isn't that a great idea?"

"After all, my captain's dream is to become the Pirate King. If the first bounty is too low, I, as a crew member, will be troubled."

"How dare you say that, Mr. Bai Ye, saying in front of the navy that you want to be the Pirate King or something like that, you really don't give them any face at all."

Brian cursed with a smile. He knew Bai Ye's character well, so he naturally wouldn't get angry about such things.

But he went on to say seriously: "Although you are different from those scum on the sea, once you are labeled as pirates, we will be enemies from now on."

"I will be transferred to the headquarters soon. I hope you will not be arrested by me."

Speaking of this, Brian also felt a little emotional.

Brian's military merits had already accumulated enough for him to go to the headquarters for further studies, but because of Monka, the headquarters didn't even know about this person.

After Luffy and his companions defeated Monka, it was natural for Brian to receive the transfer order to the headquarters.

"Oh?" Bai Ye was stunned at first, then he seemed to have thought of something and said happily:

"Congratulations, Mr. Brian. Maybe when we get to the Navy Headquarters, there will be things for you to help with. I hope you won't refuse a friend's request. Hahaha."

"You guys, do you really think of me as a marine?"

Hearing this, Brian couldn't help but complain, and the previous sadness disappeared.

After looking at Bai Ye for a while, they both burst into laughter at the same time.

Maybe they are in different camps, but they are still friends, right?

-

During the few days in West Rob Village, Usopp, Luffy and others gradually became friends.

Luffy even followed Usopp and the others, running into the village every morning shouting that pirates were coming.

I am also very happy.

Under such circumstances, Usopp accepted Luffy's invitation to board the ship.

He also knew that his father was a member of the Red Hair Pirates and had told Luffy a lot about him.

In order to be able to meet his father in the future, Usopp finally decided to leave the village and become a brave sea warrior.

Want to tell me the reason?

"Of course it's the Pirate Flag that's calling me!!!"

Usopp was among the crowd, saying the same thing as his father.

Just waiting like this.

The ship was finally built.

Merry stood in front of the brand new ship and proudly introduced it to everyone:

"Golden Merry, this is the name I gave this ship."

"I designed it myself, and it was greatly expanded on the basis of the original Merry."

"As for power and driving..."

Before Merry could introduce Luffy, Nami stepped forward and said:

"Just tell me about the ship."

It’s not that Nami has any other ideas, it’s just that Luffy is staring at the goat bow of the ship with his eyes shining.

"Amazing!!!"

Luffy stretched out his arms, hugged the goat's head directly, jumped up and sat on it.

"Wahahaha, that's so cool! It's decided, this will be my place from now on!!!"

Zoro also crossed his arms and looked at the pirate ship in front of him, with a smile on his face: "Not bad~"

It’s indeed good, Bai Ye also nodded. Unlike the brig in the original book, this is on the premise that Bai Ye dares to spend money and provide sufficient materials.

Merry also changed the Merry into a three-masted sailing ship like the Thousand Sunshine in the original work.

The size has become twice as large as before, and rooms for various purposes have been added to it.

but. . .

Bai Ye looked carefully and found that there was still a big difference between the current Merry and the Sunshine.

There is no way around it. Merry is just a man in the East China Sea who has a dream of building ships, but the designer of the Sunshine is Franky, a disciple of Tom, the world's strongest shipbuilder.

But Bai Ye was already very satisfied.

He certainly wouldn't be so stubborn as to insist on letting everyone take a ship of this level to travel to the New World.

You know, even the Pirate King Roger didn't sail the entire Grand Line on one ship.

Therefore, Bai Ye had only one purpose in spending money, which was to allow the Merry to sail smoothly to the Seven Water City.

Once we get there, we can invite Franky to modify the ship.

That’s right, the Merry and the Sunshine, Bai Ye wants them all!!!

As for whether this would cause the ship elf to disappear, Bai Ye was confident that he had a way to solve it.

And before that, he had to add a second layer of protection on the ship.
