Chapter 174: The Ape Pirates
"SKY PIEA?" A group of people gathered together, and Nami said while looking at the map.
"Well, that's great, isn't it?" Luffy said.
"Does this Sky Island really exist?"
"Ah ho..."
Everyone got excited.
"Sky Island Enelu, when I first came to this world, I only had one water transformation technique, and the one I feared the most was Enelu. Now, I wonder if I can flatten him." Wang Hao thought, looking up at the sky.
"It's awesome, Sky Island really exists, it's the island of dreams." Usopp and Luffy danced with their arms around each other's shoulders, and Chopper sat between their heads.
"Dream Island, we can go to Dream Island now..."
"Don't get too excited." Nami looked at the map and poured cold water on it. "This only means that there is a possibility. There are many deceptive maps in the world."
"Ah..." Luffy and the other two looked at Nami in disappointment.
"Ah~ I'm sorry." Nami apologized quickly, "Yes, yes, I think there should be."
"Duang"
Nami punched the iron sheet of the mast and yelled at Luffy with her fangs.
"Listen carefully, Luffy. What I'm saying is, we don't know how to get there, okay?"
"Nami, please take care of this ship." Usopp and Wang Hao stood aside and said in unison.
"Aren't you a navigator? Think of a solution quickly." Luffy also growled with his fangs.
"I miss you so much!" Nami said, putting her hands on her hips. "It's not like I can find a solution just by thinking about it."
"Nami is so cute even when she's angry." Sanji also came close to Wang Hao and Usopp and whispered.
"I don't care, I'm going to Sky Island." Luffy said stubbornly.
"Duang"
"If I keep arguing with you, there's no end to it." Nami ended the argument with her fist.
"Our ship can't move now anyway, so what we need most is the information Robin just mentioned."
"If even a large sailing ship like that can reach the sky, then there must be a way for our ship to get up there as well. In any case, we must find a way to find all the records left by that large ship just now."
"But the ship has already sunk." said Usopp.
"If it sinks, pull it out for me." Nami said, clenching her fists.
"Great!" Usopp held the fishing rod and Luffy held the fishing net, with their mouths wide open, inexplicably excited.
"How can that be possible!" Zoro snarled.
"What is salvage?" Chopper asked Robin at the stairs, and Hanhan also tilted his head to look at Robin.
"It's about fishing out ships that have sunk to the bottom of the sea," Robin explained. "But that ship may not be possible because it's too big."
Not long after, Usopp, who was very good at hands-on work, and Wang Hao built three simple diving and salvage devices. Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji put them on and sank into the sea.
"Hey Hey hey……"
"I'm Chopper, please answer if you hear me." Chopper answered through the loudspeaker.
"I'm Luffy, there are a lot of monsters here, please speak."
"Is this the lair of the sea serpent?" Zoro's voice came up.
"I'm Sanji, oh my god, it's looking at me."
"OK." Nami nodded.
"How can it be OK?" Usopp said in shock.
"They will always find a way, don't worry." Nami said as a matter of course, "Chopper, hold the handbrake tightly."
"Yeah." Chopper replied.
Usopp was standing by the side, receiving oxygen, and wiped his sweat with his hand: "Luckily it wasn't me who went down."
"Dududu, dududu..."
A whistle sounded and a large ship approached.
"Good salvage, good salvage..."
This was followed by a burst of horn calls.
"What is that?" Usopp asked, twisting his goggles.
"A professional salvage ship." Wang Hao said with a roll of his eyes.
The salvage ship stopped next to the Merry, and a burst of shouting was heard.
"Prepare for salvage operations. All the sunken ships belong to the Ape Pirates. They are the Salvage King Ape, mine. Woohoo..."
"Woo-chi-chi..." A group of crew members followed suit and made monkey calls.
"Just at this critical moment, another Cheng Yaojin shows up." Nami looked at the Ape Pirates helplessly.
"Hey, let me ask you, what are you doing there? This is my territory." The gorilla looked at the Merry and asked.
"Your territory?" Nami asked.
"That's right, all the shipwrecks in this sea area belong to me. You should have not taken any action against them, right? Huh?" asked the gorilla.
"That man seems to be planning to attack that ship as well," Robin said.
"That's probably what he meant." Usopp was locked under the axle, stepping on the oxygen supply and whispered.
"That means this might be our chance," Nami said.
"Stop whispering there and answer my question quickly, woohoo." shouted the gorilla.
"Excuse me, can I ask you a question first?" Nami asked.
"I was the one who asked you first. Never mind. If you have any questions, just ask them now," said the gorilla.
"Excuse me, are you the crew of the salvage ship?" Nami asked.
"What? Ship ape?" The gorilla was stunned and stroked his face with his hand. "Hey, do I really look that 'ape-like'?"
"Looks like a monkey?" Nami was stunned.
"That's what being a man means, don't you think?" The gorilla said, looking very handsome. "I'm so sorry, chirp..."
"That's not happening at all." Usopp complained, "Hey, do you want to salvage it?"
"Of course we have to salvage it," the gorilla shouted. "I am a man who can salvage a sunken ship from the bottom of the sea, float it up, sink it again, and salvage it again. There is no ship in this world that we cannot salvage."
"Then please, can you let us see it?" Nami asked in a cute manner.
"I understand. You think salvage is a very rare thing, right? Hahahaha... No problem, I'll let you see it." The gorilla smiled and began to call on the crew to start the salvage operation.
"Boss, something bad has happened." A crew member shouted while holding an injured person.
"What's wrong?" the gorilla turned around and asked.
"The crew members we sent to the bottom of the sea to place the salvage basket..." said the younger brother.
"Did we encounter an attack by a sea king?" asked the gorilla.
"No, it looks like he was beaten up."
"What? You mean there are people on the bottom of the sea."
……
"It's them..." Nami immediately realized that it was Luffy and the other two who did it.
"Well..." The gorilla turned and looked at the Merry, "Hey, listen carefully..."
Usopp and Nami were shocked.
"There seems to be someone on the seabed, you have to be careful." The gorilla warned.
"Okay..." Nami said awkwardly.
"This gorilla is quite nice." Wang Hao complained.
"Brothers, hurry up and put the salvage basket in place and get ready to start salvaging," the gorilla shouted.
Then, the Ape Pirates began their work in an orderly manner.
