Chapter 157

The ship spirit is probably the most magical existence in the pirate world.

Strictly speaking, it can't even be regarded as a living creature, but a product between consciousness and wisdom, a will born out of a ship under some special factors.

Even in the original work, it is very rare. From beginning to end, only the ship spirit of the Merry appeared. However, if the little girl named "Namib" is the ship spirit of this Pluto, it is normal.

After all, that is the "Pluto", the strongest warship in history.

"So you have lived for more than 800 years?" Elsa pouted, looking at the little girl in front of her who looked younger than her in surprise, and her hand was stretched out uneasily, trying to pinch the other's face.

Seeing the hand approaching, Namib wrinkled her nose, narrowed her eyes, and then opened her "bloody mouth" and pretended to bite hard.

"Ah!" Elsa was startled by the other party's sudden action, and her right hand retracted as if she was electrocuted, but suddenly remembered that the other party was a ship spirit without a physical body.

"Haha! What a silly girl." Namib laughed like a monkey who stole peaches from the Yaochi, and then floated to Elsa's side like a ghost and started playing.

On the other side, Darrow, who was the only one who could see the "ship spirit" in the field, was tirelessly explaining the existence of "Namib" to others, especially the scholars of O'Hara. After hearing about the existence of such an ancient man who lived for more than 800 years, their eyes immediately lit up.

"Quick, ask her what is the truth of the blank 100 years of history?" Olbia, who was the most active, immediately became uneasy and pulled Darrow to say anxiously.

At this mention, Darrow's eyes lit up. Indeed, if Namib is really the ship spirit of "Pluto", then she must have experienced a blank hundred years, and she may even be an eyewitness of the "accident".

"Hmph, don't even think about it. If you are not the promised person that Joy Boy said, I will not tell you what happened during that time!" Namib put her hands on her hips and said to Darrow who had not yet spoken.

"Oh, why?" Darrow raised his eyebrows and asked back.

"Telling you directly that it is harming you!" Namib did not continue to try to figure out Elsa, but stopped and said seriously, and then explained:

"With that guy's temperament, he must have destroyed all the records of that period of history in the world long ago, and even word of mouth would be sensed by Him, so the only way to know that period of history is through the stone carvings of the Kozuki clan."

"That guy? Do you mean Im?" Although he did not get the answer he wanted, the sharp Darrow still captured the key words in Namib's words.

"Oh, you know?" Namib asked in surprise when he heard Darrow actually say the word Yimu.

After all, Yimu has been hiding in Pangu City for so long, and not many people know about it. Even Dr. Clover doesn't know his real name yet, but he has only inferred his existence from the records in the historical text.

"I say, what are you talking about?" The cute Elsa looked at the two people who seemed to be playing dumb and asked dully, while the others also focused their eyes on Darrow.

"Nothing..." After being interrupted by Elsa, Darrow quickly led the topic elsewhere. After all, Yimu's identity was learned from comics in his previous life, and he didn't want to expose the fact that he was a time traveler.

"Since this Pluto has been found, let's go out first, and then we will come back to thoroughly explore it." Darrow suggested after seeing that the torches in everyone's hands were almost burned out.

"What are you going to do? Stay here for another forty years? Wait for that man of destiny?" After seeing that everyone else agreed with his proposal, Darrow asked Namib again.

"Are you kidding? You want me to wait here for another forty years? I'll be bored to death." Namib was unhappy when she heard it, and she reacted very violently and flew up and down beside Darrow.

Speaking of which, it was really Daro's fault. Namib was sleeping well underground. Maybe she could follow Luffy to challenge Im as soon as she closed her eyes.

But she didn't expect that Darrow and others woke her up in advance, so if she continued to stay here, she would have to spend a full forty years of boring time, and

With Namib's childish personality, he will definitely go crazy.

"What should we do? Do you want to leave here with us first?" The equally childish Elsa immediately felt the same way and asked Namib.

"Leave? Can the ship spirit leave the ship and act alone?" Daro looked at the dilapidated Pluto ship next to him and asked Namib.

"No!" Namib shook his head, then held his head with both hands and said in a slightly crying tone: "The ship spirit must rely on the ship to exist, so I can't leave this ship too far."

"Is that so!" Daro smacked his lips and said.

Originally, he wanted to trick Namib onto the ship. After all, this is Pluto's ship spirit. Who can know Pluto better than her? With her, it would be easy to reproduce a new Pluto, right?

Just when Darrow was still lamenting that he couldn't kidnap people, Darrow suddenly had an idea and asked Namib: "Let me ask, what exactly are you attached to in this ship?"

The reason for asking this is that Darrow suddenly thought of a paradox in his previous life called the Ship of Theseus - assuming that the wood on a ship is replaced one by one, will this ship still be the same ship as before?

In other words? Namib exists by relying on this ship, but if the various parts of this Pluto are gradually replaced? Then will the existence that Namib relies on become this new ship?

If the answer is yes, then with some simple operations of replacing the prince with the cat, the ship spirit Namib can be transferred to a new ship, and if not, it means that the ship spirit must be attached to a certain part of the ship.

"Keel! The foundation of the ship lies in the keel, and the ship spirit also relies on the existence of the keel." Namib gave her answer, and her body also floated into the big hole in the middle of the deck.

"So if I take this keel out and take it away, you can leave with us, right?" Darrow jumped from the cave to the bottom of the cabin, pointing to the keel that was broken into two pieces by an unknown attack.

Although Darrow had never seen the Treasure Tree Adam, he could tell from the dense lines and wood grain of the keel that this keel should be made of the Treasure Tree Adam.

"So do you want to go out? If you do, I'll take this keel out and take it out." Darrow patted the keel and asked Namib.

To be honest, if the king hadn't broken this keel into two pieces, it would have been difficult for Darrow to take it apart. After all, it was the Treasure Tree Adam, the toughest branch in the world.

"Of course, I must go out. If I really stay here for forty years, I will definitely suffocate to death." Namib agreed without any hesitation.

"In that case, this ship is useless. Let me dismantle other parts as well." Daro said to Namib, and at the same time called on others to prepare to dismantle the artillery system that he had been eyeing for a long time.

"No!"

Namib was also anxious when he heard it, and floated in front of Daro with his arms open to stop him: "These artillery systems are the technology of the Great Kingdom. If you dismantle them, what will I use in forty years? I still have to rely on them to take revenge on Uranus."

After Namib said this, Daro did not continue to forcibly dismantle them. After all, his own people were still on the Pluto ship. With the control of the ship spirit over the ship, if Namib was really angry, the annihilation gun would not be a decoration.

"Then we can't go back empty-handed." Daro took the opportunity to rob.

"At most, I will dismantle a few secondary guns for you, but you must not touch the main guns." Namib hesitated for a while and made the final concession.

"Deal." Daro snapped his fingers and agreed. He had planned to dismantle a few cannons back to the Mermaid Anthem. Although he failed to get the most powerful main gun, it was good enough to get a few cannons.

Moreover, if he could take Namib away with him, he could also take away the two pieces of keel made of the treasure tree Adam. No matter how damaged it was, it was the treasure tree Adam, the legendary unsinkable wood.

"I say, you must be bored after staying in Alabasta for so long. How about you go out to sea with us?" Daro invited Namib while dismantling the cannons with others.

The playful Namib did not refuse. She also wanted to see the changes in the world in the past seven hundred years. More importantly, as the spirit of a dilapidated ship, she must find a suitable way to repair herself.

So, just like that, the new crew member of the Daro Pirates - the ancient more than 800 years old

The weapon Pluto ship spirit "Namib" officially joined.
