Chapter 390
At this time, the Water 7!
“By the way, Mr. Iceburg, we brought a letter of recommendation from Lin Tian, and he said just give it to you.” Nami took out the letter in her arms and handed it to the man in the suit in front of her.
“Lin Tian?!”
Iceburg cry out in surprise. Obviously he did not expect that this guy actually wrote a recommendation letter to him. They are Lin Tian’s comrades, after all, it’s right to want to come. Lin Tian is on the Straw Hat brat group of ships . This is already known to the entire Grand Line.
Receiving the envelope, Iceburg opened it and saw that it contained only a few words.
“Iceberg! They are my buddies, help repair and disembark their ship!”
After reading, Iceburg did not hesitate at all, crumpled the letter into a ball, and finally shredded it and sprinkled it on the ground.
Nami immediately said angrily: “Hey, what are you doing, why did you tear up the letter?!”
“I’m very upset when I see any letter written by this guy. However, since he introduced you to me, come with me.” At the same time, Iceburg turned and moved towards the dock behind.
Everyone hurriedly followed, and Luffy who followed behind shouted puzzledly: “By the way, uncle, are you an enemy with Lin Tian?”
“No.” beside Iceburg Walking explained: “There is no hatred, but in the past, that guy worked as a World Government procurement officer for a period of time, so we often met. “As for looking at that kid, in the price negotiation, every time that guy will save a lot of money, I will make a lot less.” As for being unhappy at that kid… in the price negotiation, every time that guy will save a lot of money, I will make a lot less.”
Luffy suddenly realized: “It turns out that the uncle suffered from Lin Tian’s acceptance.”
Hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but stunned, Nami and Usopp immediately showed embarrassment on their faces, and quickly realized this guy’s mouth.
Without explaining anything, Iceburg directly and generously admitted, “That is indeed, in fact, relatively speaking, I still made money, and the real losses were those government officials. That guy reported the poor wood as high-level wood, and secretly made some money.”
At one point, Nami couldn’t help being twitched. No wonder why Lin Tian was so rich. It turned out that there was no less corruption when he was in Government.
Suddenly, Usopp behind, lowered his head and moved towards both sides and saw that he had two boxes of Berry in his hand were gone. When he looked, two guys who stole their money had escaped.
He hurriedly chased after him and shouted: “Ah! Those two guys took our money away!”
“Those three fools.” in the bar, Lin Tian, who shook his glass, couldn’t help showing a smile at the corner of his mouth.
…
“So, how much does it cost to repair the ship.” Luffy clapped the box beside his hand, “How much is necessary, we have a lot of money, if possible, make him stronger, add a few more guns, and increase sailing speed.”
Next to Nami, he also extended the hand and pointed out his own opinion, “Is it possible to decorate the deck more beautifully? It is best to decorate the room inside. If possible, could you please make our boat bigger?”
“Wait a minute.” Kaku, the boatman who went to see the Merry, suddenly asked: “You must have experienced a lot of majestic voyages?”
Luffy raised his hand and excitedly said: “Of course, we flew to the sky and came down, and climbed the mountain, almost became a skewer. In short, a lot of things happened, so I want you to fix it.”
However, after hearing Luffy’s introduction, Kaku fell into a weird calm.
Turning his head to look at the two, Kaku said, “There are too many battle scars on it, and it is very…”
Before Kaku finished, Nami has already taken the conversation, “Is it true that, in this case, it will take a lot of time to repair the Merry…?”
“Forget it.” as if something has been decided, Kaku’s tone has changed, “I’ll just say it straight, your boat…has been unable to repair, even if we did it.”
In an instant, it seemed that Heaven and Earth had stopped turning in an instant. Luffy and Nami had been taken aback and did not come out of the news.
Nami couldn’t believe the news and justified: “But until now, it has been sailing on the sea just fine.”
Kaku said: “If you insist on repairing, then it may reach another island, no! Maybe it will sink before it reaches another island.”
Luffy also cannot accept this news, because Merry is not just a ship, but their partner, “What’s the matter, aren’t you very good ship repairers? If you want money, you can have as much as you want, as long as you fix the Merry!”
“It has nothing to do with money.” Kaku said, attracting the two people’s eyes, “No matter how many sailings you want, you can’t restore the original state. The fact that you sailed here in that state, I admired it.”
Next, Barry explained in detail how a ship was made, and the most important and core keel. The keel had been severely broken. For a ship, it was like ending their lives.
Iceburg on the side who has been watching the development of things, suddenly asked: “Don’t Lin Tian know this kind of thing? Although he doesn’t know much about shipbuilding, that guy can still tell what’s wrong with a ship.”
“Lin Tian?”
When they heard Iceburg’s words, it suddenly reminded Nami, thinking of why Lin Tian had to tell them before, if the Merry could not be repaired here, then there is no other place in this world.
At this time, she understood why he had to say this irrelevant thing when he left, because he had known that the Merry was no longer working, but for some reason not at all said it.
Paused, just listen to Iceburg continue to say: “However, for the face of Lin Tian, you can buy any custom ship we can build at this shipyard for a price of 100 million.”
Unfortunately, these words did not get into Luffy and Nami. The Merry’s status is irreplaceable for their pirate group. It is already an indispensable member, and it is impossible to abandon a partner.
How can you decide the future of the Merry just because you can’t fix it? How can the partner be so easily abandoned? It is not just a ship, but a life and soul, living in everyone’s hearts.
“No!” With his fists clenched, Luffy’s heart was very uneasy at this moment, “I won’t change, you and Ben don’t know how tenacious the Merry is. It carried us to Skypiea through waves and managed to come here. As long as we fix it a little bit, we can continue sailing and drive us on the entire Grand Line. I will not change ships!”
“Dumbass!” Iceberg, who has always appeared in an approachable image, now scolded: “As the captain of a ship, don’t you even know this?! There is no ship that can sail forever! Think about the conditions I mentioned just now!”
Without waiting for the dumbfounded two, Iceburg left with his secretary.
…
In the bar, the invisible electric wave and with Lin Tian’s powerful Observation Haki, enough to hear any sound on the entire island.
Although sound can convey a lot of information, that same sound has great limitations. Unless the dialogue is not loud, it is difficult to tell what is going on.
For example, in the entire island, there can be countless sounds like fighting at the same time, but it doesn’t mean you can judge what is that fighting. On such a prosperous island, all kinds of sounds are happening all the time.
This is not Skypiea. Regardless of population and busyness, it is not comparable to the Water 7. Lin Tian, who has just gained thunder-sounding ability, is not Enel, and the advantages he brings are also limited.
Like now, with frowning brows, Lin Tian can find Luffy who will always cause trouble in the crowd, but he can’t find Sanji, Robin, Chopper, and Zoro.
Thinking about it, Lin Tian stood up, put down the wine glass in his hand. There is no way to continue hiding here, waiting for the opportunity to take action, only slowly falling into passiveness.
Rubbing the pale red stone in his hand- “In this case, I should also go for a walk. Robin… Where are you? What are you thinking about?”
