Chapter 104: The Situation of the Merry

"I'm finally back! That island is really full of surprises and fun!" Luffy shouted excitedly as soon as he boarded the Merry.

Nami on the side looked at him helplessly and complained: "In the end, we still couldn't find any clues about Sky Island."

Faced with Nami's complaints, Ling Tian chose to remain silent.

In fact, he had already noticed Robin standing on the Merry, which meant that Robin had successfully obtained information about Mont Blanc Coulee.

Even if Robin didn't get the news about Mont Blanc Kulik as smoothly as in the original novel, it didn't matter. Because for Ling Tian, ​​he knew from the beginning how to find this key person.

As Nami continued to complain, Usopp hurried over to Luffy with a blueprint in hand and handed it to him.

At the same time, Usopp also conveyed what Robin had said before. When Luffy heard Mont Blanc Kulige talk about his dream, he instantly showed great interest in this person.

"Yoshi, let's go find that guy called Mewbla!" Luffy has excellent hearing. After hearing Usopp's words, he gave the order without hesitation.

"It's Mont Blanc!" Sanji had sharp ears and heard Luffy say the wrong name again, so he immediately corrected him.

However, Luffy didn't seem to take Sanji's words to heart at all.

"See, I knew we would get the news of going to Sky Island!" Looking at Luffy who gave the order confidently, Ling Tian turned to Nami and said.

"Hey, let's get it straight. It was obviously the information found by Robin. What does it have to do with you?" Nami didn't buy it. When she heard Ling Tian's words, she immediately retorted.

He secretly muttered in his heart: How dare Ling Tian say such a thing? It was obviously the information found by Robin!

When Ling Tian heard Nami's accusation, he did not make any further excuses. He just smiled slightly and did not comment.

Not long after, the Merry set sail.

"It's damaged so badly!" Ling Tian stared at the marks on the Merry that had been carefully repaired by Usopp, and couldn't help but feel deeply moved.

Although he knew very well that the Merry could not accompany them on their voyages forever, when he really faced that day, he still felt a sense of reluctance to let go.

"Come to think of it, now that the Merry is damaged like this, should we consider getting a new ship?" Zoro, who was helping to repair the Merry, suddenly interrupted.

"How can you say such things, you heartless guy!" Usopp was furious when he heard it.

"What a heartless guy!" Chopper also joined in condemning Zoro.

"Don't forget how we got this ship. You should know this very well, right?"

"It's clear as day, isn't it?"

Usopp and Chopper said to Zoro in unison.

After all, Zoro is not like Sanji, who has not personally experienced the process of acquiring Merry.

"Of course I understand how you feel, Usopp, but complaining at this moment will do no good! The Merry is our most important partner, so everyone must work harder and repair it no matter what!" Luffy responded firmly while listening to what Usopp, Zoro and others said.

In fact, deep down in his heart, Luffy was also unwilling to give up the Merry easily.

After all, this ship is not only the first ship in his life, but also has carried them through countless seas. Therefore, no matter what difficulties and obstacles he encounters, he will never give up easily.

"Luffy, you bastard..." When Usopp heard Luffy's sincere words, he was deeply moved, and tears flowed down like a dam breaking.

He had never expected that Luffy, who seemed carefree on weekdays, could express his feelings so emotionally.

However, this feeling of being touched did not last long. In a moment, Usopp witnessed a scene that made him dumbfounded - when Luffy was repairing the Merry, he accidentally lost control and applied excessive force, causing a huge crack in the fence of the Merry.

“Damn it…” Seeing this, Usopp’s blood pressure instantly soared to the peak, and he roared angrily: “Do you want to fix it, or do you want to destroy it?”

"Uh, that... I really want to fix it!" Facing Usopp's questioning, Luffy explained guiltily, but before he finished his words, the tools in his hands went out of control again, leaving a new damage on the fence of the Merry.

"Luffy..." Usopp stared at Luffy in astonishment, his eyes wide open, his heart filled with disbelief and anger. His pace involuntarily quickened, as if pushed by an invisible force, and he quickly rushed towards Luffy.

In the blink of an eye, Usopp came in front of Luffy and grabbed Luffy's neck without hesitation.

He clenched his fingers tightly together, with such force that it seemed as if he was going to crush Luffy's neck.

However, Luffy had no intention of resisting. He just stood there quietly, with helplessness in his eyes.

Ling Tian witnessed this scene, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.

But behind that smile, there was a hint of worry in his eyes.

He was well aware of the difficulties the Merry was facing at the moment, and couldn't help but worry about this ship that had accompanied them through all the storms.

"Usopp..." Ling Tian took a deep breath and slowly opened his eyes.

Suddenly, his originally ordinary eyes underwent a miraculous change - the pupils turned deep red, and a strange pattern rotated in his eyes. This was the Sharingan.

Relying on the insight of the Sharingan, Ling Tian carefully observed the deck of the Merry. After a moment, he finally found some clues.

After hearing Ling Tian's words, Usopp slowly let go of Luffy's hand, turned his head, and looked at Ling Tian with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Ling Tian was silent and thought for a moment, and finally made up his mind and shouted to everyone: "Everyone, come here."

Although Ling Tian knew that he shouldn't tell the Straw Hat Pirates about the situation on the Merry so soon, it would be better to tell them now rather than letting them know it later.

Ling Tian took a deep breath, his expression looking quite solemn.

In fact, just now, he used his Sharingan ability to carefully check the Merry, and the result was worrying - there were some tiny cracks on the keel of the Merry!

These cracks may seem insignificant, but in fact they could have disastrous consequences. If they continue to expand, the Merry may be unable to sail.
