Chapter 39

At this moment, Luffy could no longer suppress the joy in his heart. Luffy had read the original work of One Piece, and one of the tragic endings he wanted to change the most has finally come to fruition!

The ship elves that did not appear in the original work now appear in front of him.

The ship elves are wonderful creatures that belong to the world of One Piece. As the name suggests, the ship elves are elves that are slowly bred by the built ships. The conditions for the birth of the ship elves are very harsh. According to the setting in the original work of One Piece, one is that all the crew members on the ship must devote the most real and warmest feelings to the ship, and the other is that the ship must be maintained regularly and try not to damage the ship. After a long time, it is also possible for the ship elves to be born.

However, there are many benefits after the birth of the ship elves. The ship elves can help maintain the ship and prevent the ship from falling into disrepair; the ship elves can predict in advance when the ship is about to encounter various natural disasters, run around to warn the crew to take precautions, or directly avoid them; the ship elves are also the darlings of the world and are one of the creatures that know this sea best.

"I'm Monkey D. Luffy, just call me Luffy. Merry, wait a minute, I'll go and inform everyone! It's okay to meet everyone!" Luffy said anxiously. Seeing that Merry was just smiling peacefully, he went to the cabin and called all his companions without thinking about anything else.

How could he not participate in such a memorable event with everyone!

So, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, Kin, and Vivi came out of the cabin one after another.

"What, Luffy, there are no enemies? If you don't tell me why you pulled me up after I fell asleep, hum!" Nami gestured with her fist.

"Huh? Luffy! What is this?" Zoro immediately saw the magical creature sitting on the edge of the boat, shaking his feet with a tired smile!

"Wow! So cute, what big thing has Captain Luffy done again?" Vivi's eyes lit up, and which girl doesn't like such a cute thing?

"What is it this time..." Kin asked.

Usopp asked, "Hey Luffy, this can't be..."

"Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, Kin, Chopper, and Vivi, hello! I'm Merry!" Merry couldn't speak, but her ethereal voice rang clearly in the hearts of each of them.

Nami stared at the cute creature in front of her with her eyes wide open: "Luffy, what did he say his name was? Merry? Is he the Golden Merry?"

Vivi: a dull faceJPG.

Vivi was already numb with shock. Since she had been with the Straw Hat Adventure Group for a while, there have been too many magical things that she had never experienced before, such as when she was in the Drum Kingdom, Nami could actually take her to [fly] to the Drum Mountain!

[Shocked! A magical creature appeared on the Golden Merry, what on earth is this...]

Zoro was also shocked and asked, "Captain, is this true?"

"Really, this is true, Vice Captain." Luffy replied with a smile.

"As you can see with your own eyes, this child is the ship spirit of the Golden Merry. He was officially born tonight!" Luffy looked around at everyone.

"Hey hey hey hey!!!!" Everyone screamed.

"This is too magical. The legendary ship spirit actually exists!" Sanji exclaimed.

"Thank you! Captain Luffy, and everyone! It is because of you that I can experience so many wonderful adventures together. Without you, without love, I can't get here!" Merry's ethereal voice sounded again in everyone's heart.

"No need to thank you, no need to thank you! Because you are also our absolutely indispensable and indispensable partner." Everyone chirped in response, and at this moment, they seemed a little homesick.

Luffy said silently in his heart: This time, I will never watch you disappear again. Even Jesus can't take you away! I said it!

"But I am just a spirit. I can't manifest for a long time and meet you often." Merry's tone seemed a little lost.

"There must be a way, there must be a way to solve it! Don't be disappointed, Merry!" Everyone comforted her again.

"Being able to take everyone on an adventure at sea is the happiest thing for me! Don't be sad for me, even if I can't talk to you like this often, I feel very happy."

"I remember every bit of the adventure with you!"

"Captain Luffy likes to sit on the bow and blow the sea breeze and think quietly."

"Zoro likes to practice weightlifting on the deck."

"Nami likes to draw nautical charts in her room and record variousof weather and celestial phenomena."

"Usopp likes to clean his sniper rifle in his room and tinker with all kinds of novelty gadgets."

"Sanji likes to create all kinds of delicious food in the kitchen!"

"Mr. Akin likes to do push-ups in his room."

"The newest member, Chopper, nice to meet you!"

Chopper responded a little shyly.

"And Miss Vivi likes to sit at the window and stare at the sea."

Everyone couldn't help crying when they heard the telepathy from the ship spirit of the Merry.

"Okay, okay! Merry! It's not time to be sad yet! How can you think that I can't help you to live with everyone truly, how can you think that I can't help you to have your own body and be with everyone forever?" Luffy also wiped away his tears and said.

"Is there a way? Is there really a way?" Nami asked anxiously.

Luffy nodded.

"Eh? Eh? What happened? What happened? Is there really a way to solve this problem? "Merry suddenly opened her round eyes, puzzled.

"Eh? Eh? Captain Luffy, I...can I have my own body? Really? Really?" Merry was a little excited.

Luffy nodded: "Of course, Merry, you are our important partner. After you have your own body, you can accompany me to blow the sea breeze, accompany Nami to draw nautical charts, become Zoro's dumbbell, taste Sanji's food, and... in short, everything you can think of is possible!"

Merry heard that the joyful mood seemed to infect every member of the Straw Hat Adventure Group, including Vivi.

Luffy said seriously: "Merry, this is the [Swallow Swallow Fruit], I will help you eat it, this fruit will become your carrier, let you have a physical body, and live with us, are you willing to eat it?"

"Hmm? Question: Isn't Merry a ship elf? Can he also eat the devil fruit? I've never heard of it! But after eating the devil fruit, can the Golden Merry still go into the water? Won't the devil fruit user be rejected by the sea?" Sanji asked in confusion.

"Hehe, of course Merry can eat the devil fruit. As for whether it will be rejected by the sea, it is Merry who eats the devil fruit, what does it have to do with the Golden Merry?" Luffy said with a smile.

"That makes sense!"

So, with the help of Luffy, Merry ate the [Swallow Swallow Fruit], but Luffy knew that Merry would transform according to Luffy's image, wishes, and will, but why——

Merry!

Will become a white little sun wearing a Q version of a straw hat!

This is not right! This is definitely not right!

"Because you are: Nika Sun God!" The voice of the system sounded in my mind.

This image is not bad!

So, the Golden Merry responded to our bond and evolved into Mage!

Mage·Golden Merry, permanent appearance!
