One Piece: The Straw Hat Pirates' Mechanic

"Usopp, I'm sorry!"

Kaya walked up to Usopp and said:

"In order to protect me and the village, I...Doubt you!"

"and...And I hit you!"

"I really..."

"Keya! do not do that!"Usopp quickly took Keya's hand and said seriously,"It's okay, I don't take that kind of thing to heart at all!"

"Anyway, everyone is fine, that's the most important thing, isn't it?"

"Usopp...Thank you! Thank you for saving me, saving the village, and telling me so many stories! I didn't expect that Karabaatar was actually a pirate."

"Who would have thought of such a thing? Ke Ya, you don't have to blame yourself"

"Besides, it was Luffy and the others who defeated Karabartel, and I didn’t contribute much at all! If you want to thank them, you should thank them!"

"thank you all!"Keya bowed to Luffy and the others,"Thank you for saving the village and everyone."

"I have nothing to repay you. I just heard Meili say that you���If you don't mind having a boat of your own, I just have a boat in my warehouse that I can give to you."

"Nani? Give it to us? Really? Is it first hand?"

As soon as he heard about the ship, Luffy became excited and asked quickly

"Well, the boat has not been launched yet. If you are willing, I will give it to you as a gift from the village to repay you."......

"Is this the one?"

Led by Meili, they came to the warehouse behind the manor and saw a huge wooden boat quietly parked there, as if waiting for the person it was destined to be with.

"This bow...."

Karl and others looked at the very familiar sheep head shape on the bow of the ship, and then looked at Meili on the side.

"Yes, I actually designed this boat."Facing the looks of several people, Melly did not hide it. Instead, he proudly replied,"You know, my dream when I was a child was to become a ship designer."

"This boat is my first and only work."

"To this day, I still remember the first time I drew its shape on papyrus twenty-two years ago. It was not until five years ago, after receiving funding from Keya’s parents, that the ship was finally built."

"However, since it was built, it has been staying in this dark warehouse and has never had the opportunity to go to sea."

While Merry was explaining the history of the ship to a few people, Luffy had already run onto the ship, walked around the deck, and jumped onto the Mianyang head on the bow, pointing there and saying loudly

"Ahahahaha, this will be my special seat from now on!"

Everyone:???

"When did you run up here?"

"Come down quickly!"

Luffy naturally ignored the questions of several people and simply sat down.

You know what, he really looked like the real deal when he sat cross-legged on the bow of the sheep boat.

"Come on, I'll go up and introduce it to you!"

Seeing Luffy like his ship so much, the designer Merili was naturally very happy. As a designer, what could make him happier than having his work recognized by others?

"Because I have been designing this boat for more than ten years and only started building it five years ago, so compared to the current boats, the style is a bit old."

"But it is a fast sailing ship using a jib, so I am quite confident in its speed."

"..."

"I named it - Forward Merry!"

"I hope it can carry you to continue your adventure."

"As my only work, I don’t want it to stay here forever. The mission of a ship is to go to sea."

"So after hearing your conversation, I proposed to you that I give you this boat."

"Luffy, what do you think?"

"I don't care, I want this ship, Carl!" Luffy still sat in his special seat, with no intention of moving his butt.

"That's a happy decision!" Carl turned and said to Meli,"Thank you, Mr. Meli."

"It seems that my captain is very satisfied with this ship!"

"Haha, I’m glad you like it too. I think Melly will be very happy too."Merry, like an old father, patted the railing of the boat happily.

"However, I have another request.

"What? You can tell me, as long as I can do it."

"I wonder if Mr. Meili has any plans to continue being a designer?"

""Do you want to continue to be a designer?" Meili said with a wry smile,"For some reasons, I have given up this dream. This ship may be the only work I will create in my life."

"From now on, I just want to take good care of Miss Keya and take good care of her for her parents."

"No, no, no, I mean, is Mr. Meili willing to make some improvements to the Meili?" Carl explained,"Because I promised my captain that our ship must be the only one on the sea."

"Although I have some ideas, I don’t know much about ship design. I wonder if Mr. Melly can..."

"Transformation? The ship has been built and the general frame has been fixed. If it is changed, it may be a bit difficult."

"Just improve it. Karl expressed his thoughts,"And I think there may still be some gap between the lifespan of wooden ships compared to metal ships.""

"As it happens, we have a pure metal warship in our hands. I plan to wrap the metal around the surface of the Merry, which is equivalent to adding a layer of metal armor. This will also allow us to better cope with possible battles in the future."

"Metal armor? A very good idea, but it may be difficult to implement..."Melly thought about it and felt that this idea was not impossible.

"Don’t worry about this, my fruit ability can perfectly solve this problem, Mr. Melly only needs to help us design related things."

"Because I also plan to add the power system of the metal ship, so that the speed of the Merry should be even higher."

"There is still a certain gap between natural wind power and mechanical power."

"As for the layout of these things in the ship, I am not good at it. I wonder what Mr. Meli thinks?"

"I...I promise you!"

Merry thought for a while and agreed immediately.

The Go Merry was like his child, and he naturally wanted his child to become more outstanding.
