Chapter 616 6 Wu Hai

...

Under Iceberg's introduction, the Straw Hat Pirates followed Barry to Dock No. 1 to entrust the ship repair business.

"Hey! Kaku! I have other things to do, so I'll leave these distinguished guests to you. They want to repair the ship, and the budget is 3 million berries!"

Barry yelled as he walked through the door.

"Hey! We didn't say that all the money was used to repair the ship! Are you planning to cheat us out of all our money?"

Nami said warily.

"Ahahaha, how could that be? Beautiful lady, I'm just reminding my employees not to spend more than the client's budget!"

"Don't worry, I'll arrange for you to hire the best shipwright in our company! He has excellent skills and is an honest man!"

Having his little thoughts seen through, Barry scratched his head and laughed to hide his embarrassment.

"Where is the ship you need repaired parked? I'll go check it out first."

A boatman with a nose as long as Usopp's came out.

"Usopp?!"

Luffy and Chopper were in a trance, their eyes switching back and forth between Usopp and Kaku's faces.

"So you have a brother! Usopp!"

Nami also asked curiously.

"No! I'm an only child!"

Usopp shook his head frantically.

"Hahaha! This is so funny! Hey, do you want to be our partner? We are in need of a shipwright!"

Luffy invited enthusiastically.

"Please stop joking, my dear guest, and tell me where your ship is parked!"

Kaku didn't like being looked at so closely, so he zipped up his jacket and put on a duckbill hat with the shipyard logo printed on it.

"The ship was parked in a hidden harbor in the east. It was an old-fashioned two-masted sailing ship with a cute sheep's head on its bow."

Nami said truthfully.

"Okay, I got it. Please wait for ten minutes and I'll be right back."

Kaku said as he did leg stretching exercises.

"Ten minutes? That's a bit far. Maybe you misunderstood the place. Because we are pirates, our ship can only stop at the outermost place."

Nami kindly reminded.

"That's right, please wait a moment, I'm leaving first."

After Kaku finished speaking, he rushed out like an arrow. His feet seemed to be equipped with invisible springs. With a light kick, he could leap onto a platform dozens of meters high. His movements were light as a gust of wind, passing over the rooftops, leaving behind amazing afterimages!

"Wow, so strong! Do you need to know parkour to repair a ship?"

The weakest trio, Nami, Chopper, and Usopp, opened their mouths in surprise.

"Wow, hahaha! That's awesome! I must let Usopp No. 2 be our shipmate!!!"

Luffy's eyes turned into sparkling stars! (★w★)

"Damn it Luffy! I told you you're not my brother anymore!"

...

"Huhuhu~"

Kaku spread his limbs and jumped directly from the inner city wall of the Seven Water City, which was hundreds of meters high. He was like a bird soaring in the blue sky, feeling the sound of the wind whistling past his ears.

Kaku couldn't help but smile, he really enjoyed this feeling of freedom, being able to forget all the worries and constraints for a while.

...

"I'm telling you guys, you must have had a very eventful journey!"

Kaku's tone became a little heavy when he came back again.

"Of course! We were almost stabbed into hedgehogs. We climbed mountains and soared into the sky!"

"Forget it, I'll just say it straight!"

Luffy was still happily describing it when Kaku looked up and interrupted.

"Your ship is already riddled with holes, and even the main keel has been completely broken. It's a miracle that it can still float on the sea! There is no point in repairing it. If you want to continue sailing, buy a new ship!"

The Straw Hat crew were struck by lightning and were at a loss for a moment. When they came to their senses, they were unwilling to give up the small sailboat that carried their dreams and accompanied them all the way.

"I can help you repair your ship as much as possible, but as the captain, you should take responsibility. The best fate for it is to die of old age. If you don't want this ship to sink into the sea with your crew, you have to think it over carefully!"

Perhaps moved by the deep affection between the Straw Hat Pirates and the Merry, Kaku, who has always been very rational, unknowingly agreed to this meaningless repair.

Luffy's expression rarely became serious, and he was seriously thinking about what Kaku said in his mind.

In the end, Luffy, who decided to accept the fact, and Usopp, who could not accept it, had a serious disagreement. The two fought for the ownership of the Merry. Then the defeated Usopp chose to get off the ship. The originally relaxed and happy atmosphere of the Straw Hat Pirates was instantly shrouded in a dark cloud.

...

Navy Headquarters

Marshal's Office.

A naval admiral with dark green curly hair and wearing sunglasses was holding a notebook and speaking about the meeting agenda in a loud voice.

It was the meeting king of the Navy Headquarters, Major and Staff Officer of the Headquarters, Branno.

"The last item of this temporary meeting is about the vacancy of the Shichibukai after Crocodile was defeated... The Navy needs to find another suitable candidate..."

Brannu secretly glanced at the top naval officers who were listening to the lecture below, and a sense of pride arose in his heart. As a major, he was able to participate in such a meeting. It was really amazing!

Sitting in the office were Admiral Sengoku, Chief of the Navy General Staff Akagi, and four admirals of the Navy: Akainu, Kizaru, Aokiji, and Haku.

"What a loser! He was defeated by a rookie pirate who just went out to sea! Because of a bad apple, the overall deterrent power of the Seven Warlords of the Sea will be greatly reduced!"

Sakaski said with an unhappy look on his face while smoking a cigar.

"Well, there's nothing wrong with a pirate who was ambitious and ready to steal the country being defeated."

Kuzan yawned and said lazily.

"Kowawa~~ There are a lot of new pirate stars on the sea recently."

Borsalino didn't even look up, just focused on trimming his nails.

"This is such a headache. Do we have to find the right pirates? How about six? The Six Warlords of the Sea are also okay. Anyway, we don't expect them to be able to help us!"

Ajin frowned, but was thinking about who to ask for this position this time.
