Chapter 615: Huge Ship
...
"How could this happen? Aaaah! Luffy! Usopp! Hurry up and wake up!"
Chopper turned into an ape form and shouted frantically at the two people stuck in the wall, while protecting Nami behind him.
"President, be careful, this monster has the highest bounty among them all!"
The appraiser hurriedly reminded him.
"That's right! Don't come over here! He's the great pirate Tony Tony Chopper with a bounty of 2 million berries! You'd better not force him to take action!"
The little thief cat Nami quickly took advantage of the tiger's power to bully others.
"Right! Don't force me to do anything! Otherwise... the consequences will be very serious!"
Chopper also put on a fierce expression and warned.
"Quack! Crash!"
As a male Labang rabbit, Qiu'er might spoil female rabbits, but he would never spoil women. He loosened the tie of his suit with his sharp claws, and then waved to the two of them.
"Joe, Chopper, what does it say?"
Nami asked in a trembling voice.
"Wuwuwu! It said that since we're from the same hometown, you can give up resistance immediately and it won't beat me! If you keep pretending to be tough, it will beat the shit out of me, wuwuwu~ What should I do, Nami? Even Luffy was knocked down by it with one punch. There's no way I can beat it!"
Chopper was so scared that tears were about to flow.
"Hahaha, ok, stop teasing them."
Bingshan on the side couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Qiu'er then stopped his stance, walked to the side and knocked down the two people embedded in the wall.
"Huh? What happened just now? Hey! Rabbit, our battle is still undecided!"
Luffy, who was still a little dizzy, held up his left cheek which was swollen, and spoke incoherently.
"I'm obviously made of rubber, so why does its fist hurt me so much? Damn it! It's just like Grandpa's Iron Fist of Love!"
"Okay everyone, I'm Bingshan, the general manager of Global Children's Bank. I'm sorry, I have urgent matters to attend to, so I can't sit down and talk to you in detail."
"To make a long story short, our Global Bank is the world's number one bank, with more than 5000 branches in the Grand Line alone. Basically, every island with a town has a branch. Since our establishment, we have always been operating with integrity, and there will never be any fraud or forced sales. So, if you think the price is not right, you can go to other banks to ask, and we will never stop you."
After learning the details of what happened, Bingshan said politely.
"Then...okay then!"
Nami looked at Iceberg's sincere attitude, and was threatened by the force of the "mutated" Labang Rabbit beside her. She was afraid that if she refused, she would not be able to leave the bank safely.
"It's just the 3 million Beli we agreed on at the beginning! 500 million Beli for the damaged wall is way too expensive. We can help you repair the wall! But we definitely won't compensate you 500 million Beli!"
Nami put her hands on her hips and said in a stingy tone.
"Hey, Usopp, Chopper, Luffy, you three, hurry up and fix the wall! I'll give you 10 Beli pocket money each!"
"Haha! Really? Hey! Nami, you better keep your word!"
When they heard that there was pocket money to be earned, the three idiots immediately ran to work happily.
"Hahaha, you're really a good financial manager! No problem, Xiao Du, go and get the money."
"Yes! President!"
Nami read the agreement several times and signed it after confirming that there were no problems. The two parties exchanged money and goods.
Nami used her hand speed that surpassed that of a money counting machine, and she counted the 3 million Baileys in a short while. Then she handed the three black boxes to the three people and gave them solemn instructions.
"Luffy! Usopp, Chopper, take it! This is the money to repair the ship, please don't let anything go wrong!"
"Yeah! We get it!"
The three idiots nodded seriously!
"Oh? Are you here to repair the boat?"
Iceberg asked.
"Yes, hey uncle, do you know who is the best shipwright here? I want him to be our partner!"
Luffy asked carelessly.
"The Seven Waters City has the most developed shipbuilding industry in the world. There are many excellent shipbuilders here, but whether you can let them go to sea with you depends on whether they are willing to do so."
Bingshan said with a smile.
"That's it, okay then."
Luffy touched his chin and pouted, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Since you are here to repair your ship, I just need to discuss something with Mr. Barry, the mayor of Seven Water City and the president of the No. 1 Shipbuilding Company. If you trust me, please wait here for a while. After we finish our discussion, I will introduce him to you. Let him help arrange the repair of your ship, which will save you a lot of trouble."
Bingshan said with a smile.
"Oh! That's the best! Please, Mr. Iceberg."
Nami thought about it for a moment before thanking him.
"Wow, uncle, you are such a nice person. By the way, is there anything to eat here? I'm a little hungry. We can eat while waiting for you."
Luffy rubbed his head and smiled innocently.
"Hahaha, Xiao Du, take them to the cafeteria to eat first!"
...
After arranging Luffy and the others, Iceberg pushed the door and walked into another box.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting, Mayor Barry~"
Inside the room was a man with orange goggles and a stubbled blond hair.
The man had a cigar in his mouth and was wearing a flashy black jacket decorated with rose patterns and chains. There were seven cigars neatly inserted in his chest pocket.
“Hehehe! Stop making fun of me, Mr. Iceberg. Or are you reminding me that I should be careful with my address? After all, you are now the president of the world’s first bank, and the king of a member country of the World Government who can attend the World Conference!”
Barry put the cigarette into the ashtray, stood up, shook hands with Bingshan and joked.
"Hahaha, we are old friends who have worked together for so many years, so stop teasing each other and get down to business."
Bingshan took out a pile of design drawings and filled the table with them, then began to speak.
"After hearing the news that the Seven Water City was being submerged by the sea every year, Mr. Tom has been worried about this matter and couldn't sleep or eat. He and a very good scientist studied and discussed for a long time before coming up with this solution."
"This is it! Are they going to transform the entire Seven Water City into a huge "ship"? This is incredible!"
As a professional, Barry quickly saw the solution proposed by Mr. Tom from the drawings.
"Yes, to be precise, it's a floating island."
"As expected of the world's number one shipbuilder, according to Mr. Tom's design, it shouldn't be difficult to complete this task with the current shipbuilding technology and production capacity of the Seven Water City. It's just that the cost of this fund is too huge. Although the Water City has made a lot of money in recent years by cooperating with the Bra Chamber of Commerce, a lot of money has been invested in various infrastructure construction and to make up for the losses caused by the Sea Gods every year. It's a bit difficult for the finances to take out so much money at once!"
Barry frowned.
"That's why I came here. The money problem is easy to solve. Global Bank can lend Seven Water City 6000 billion yuan interest-free first, and then we can pay it back slowly in the future. With Seven Water City's developed shipbuilding and tourism industries, it shouldn't be a problem to pay back the money in 5 to 6 years."
"That's great. I thank you on behalf of hundreds of thousands of civilians in the Seven Waters! Mr. Iceberg."
"You're welcome. Water Seven is also my hometown. It's my duty to do my best to save her."
Iceberg waved his hand and said.
"Right now, resolving the crisis facing the Seven Water City is the most important thing. You should mobilize all the shipbuilders in the Seven Water City as soon as possible. I have to go back for something urgent, so the task of preparing and managing this major project can only be handed over to you first."
"No problem! Leave it to me! Mr. Iceberg!"
Barry patted his chest confidently.
