Chapter 154 Ling Tian gets beaten
In the turbulent port of the City of Seven Waters, the wind was howling, and the waves were constantly beating against the shore.
The gloomy sky was covered with dark clouds, and lightning flashed from time to time, accompanied by dull thunder. However, what appeared above the mysterious aurora curtain was not Ling Tian, as everyone expected, but a person wearing shining armor.
"It's not Ling Tian!" Luffy's eyes, which were originally full of expectation, dimmed instantly when he saw the person in front of him. He immediately became disappointed. He hung his head and pouted his mouth.
Not only Luffy, but everyone else also became disappointed.
Nami frowned, Zoro held the knife tightly in his hand, Usopp widened his eyes, and Sanji forgot to smoke the cigarette in his hand.
"Why do you look so disappointed?" Ling Tian couldn't help but complain when he saw their expressions.
He looked at this group of familiar companions, feeling helpless. When did he become so unpopular in the Straw Hat Pirates?
"Oh, could it be that you are..." When Nami heard Ling Tian's words, a hint of doubt flashed in her beautiful eyes, as if she had guessed something.
Not only Nami, but all the members of the Straw Hat Pirates who had been with Ling Tian for such a long time also felt something, as if they had guessed something.
"Are you Ling Tian?" Everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates spoke in unison, their voices sounding a little vague in the strong wind.
Of course, the only person here was Franky, who was looking at everyone with a confused look on his face.
"Of course I am Ling Tian!" Ling Tian said with a puzzled look on his face after hearing what they said.
What’s going on? He doesn’t recognize me in just a short while?
"Who could recognize him in that armor?" Zoro couldn't help but complain when he heard Ling Tian speak as a matter of course.
After hearing what Zoro said, Ling Tian looked at his hands and realized that he had not yet completed the transformation into Decade's full form.
"Hahaha, sorry, sorry!" Hearing Zoro's complaints, Ling Tian canceled his transformation and apologized with a smile.
"Why do I feel a sense of familiarity?" Usopp couldn't help but complain when he saw this scene. It seemed like this happened somewhere last time, but he couldn't remember where it was.
"By the way, what's the matter with your ability?" Sanji looked at the others complaining to each other and couldn't help but ask.
He blew out a smoke ring, his eyes full of curiosity.
"Yes, yes, what's the matter with your ability?"
"Yes, Ling Tian, what's going on?"
Not only Sanji, but other members of the Straw Hat Pirates also came over curiously and asked at once.
"Haha, how do you explain this?" Ling Tian couldn't help but scratch his head and laughed dryly after hearing what the other members of the Straw Hat Pirates said.
He looked at everyone's anxious faces and didn't know where to start.
……
Soon, Ling Tian and his companions returned to the bustling Seven Water City. The city was filled with the salty smell of seawater, the streets were bustling with people, and the sound of ship horns could be heard one after another.
Because the Merry was damaged beyond repair, Ling Tian and his crew planned to find a new ship in the City of Seven Waters to start a new adventure.
Anyway, now that Mary has become a real person and has a new home, no one is too concerned about changing ships.
"If you need to build a ship, I can help you." Hearing that Ling Tian and the others needed to build a ship, Franky patted his chest excitedly and immediately said that he could build them an extremely sturdy and cool ship.
"Really?" Luffy's eyes lit up like stars when he heard Franky say he wanted to build a ship for him. He immediately became excited, "Franky, you are really a good person!"
Just like that, Franky got a good guy card from Luffy.
"Don't be too happy too soon. I can help you build a ship, but you have to pay for the materials yourself." Seeing the excitement of the Straw Hat Pirates, Franky had to pour cold water on them and make it clear in advance.
After hearing Franky's words, the Straw Hat Pirates, who were used to this situation, once again looked at Ling Tian tacitly.
Looking at their gazes, Ling Tian's mouth twitched involuntarily, and he complained in his heart: Good fellow, I have to pay for it again this time.
But Ling Tian still didn't say anything.
Firstly, the Straw Hat Pirates don't have much Berry, and Nami, the only one who has Berry, is responsible for the daily expenses of the entire Straw Hat Pirates. The expenses of the Straw Hat Pirates are not a small amount. It is no exaggeration to say that Luffy alone can spend 100 million food in one meal.
Secondly, he had won a lot of berries in the lottery on Judicial Island before, so it didn't matter if he spent the money for the new ship.
"So, how many berries?"
"The initial estimate is that it will cost around 200 million." Franky stretched out two thick fingers and spoke seriously.
Hearing Franky's words, Ling Tian did not hesitate at all. He immediately took out a large bag of berries from the system space and threw it to Franky without hesitation.
Franky took the Berry thrown by Ling Tian and nodded. He roughly counted the Berry in it and found that there were about 300 million.
"I have no money left, so the rest of the expenses will be up to you." After handing Berry to Franky, Ling Tian said helplessly.
When the other members of the Straw Hat Pirates heard Ling Tian's words, they patted their chests and said that they would take care of Ling Tian's expenses in the Seven Water City in the next few days.
Especially Luffy, who vowed to leave it to him, but turned around and asked Nami for pocket money with a grin.
Under normal circumstances, Nami would definitely punch Luffy to wake him up.
However, now Ling Tian has used all his assets to build a new ship. Nami didn't say anything, but took out some Berry and gave it to Luffy and his friends.
After Luffy and the others took Berry, they immediately couldn't wait to run into the City of Water Seven.
"Wait a minute, Luffy." At this moment, Ling Tian called Luffy and pulled Luffy to an empty corner.
"Luffy, take this berry and throw a grand party." Ling Tian handed a bag of berries to Luffy and said earnestly. He also repeatedly told Luffy not to tell Nami that he was the one who gave him the money.
When Luffy heard Ling Tian talk about holding a banquet, he immediately nodded in agreement excitedly. As for Ling Tian's subsequent instructions, Luffy didn't listen to them at all.
After receiving the Berry given to him by Ling Tian, Luffy's eyes lit up instantly, his face filled with uncontrollable excitement, and he immediately ran towards his companions like a gust of wind.
As a result, Ling Tian saw Nami walking towards him with her hands on her hips, frowning and an angry face.
Those eyes seemed to be able to spit out fire, and every step was filled with anger.
Seeing this scene, Ling Tian's mouth twitched involuntarily, and he sighed in his heart: Luffy is indeed unreliable and sold me out so quickly.
Before Ling Tian could open his mouth to explain, Nami raised her fist and hit Ling Tian mercilessly.
After a round of punches and kicks, Ling Tian was beaten black and blue, looking in a miserable state.
After being beaten up by Nami, Ling Tian turned around to settle the score with Luffy, and soon caught up with Luffy who was still laughing foolishly.
Without saying anything, Ling Tian also raised his fist and beat Luffy severely. Luffy was beaten so hard that he screamed and rolled on the ground.
