Chapter 49: Go to the Merry! (Please Read On)

Chapter 49 Advance Meili! (Please read~)

"Wow!!!!!"

In the early morning, welcome the arrival of the first ray of rising sun.

Luffy, who was the first to arrive at the port, let out a shocked cry of joy.

Looking at the three-masted sailboat with the cute sheep's head docked in the port, Luffy's eyes turned into shining stars. In excitement, he stretched out his hands and hugged the sheep's head.

With a light rebound, the whole person sat directly on top of the sheep's head on the bow of the ship.

"Hey! Pirate ship...my pirate ship!!!"

Luffy had a silly smile on his face and lay on the bow of the ship in a "big" shape as if he were floating on the water, familiar with the smell of the ship.

At this time, under the leadership of Meili, Chihong and others also came to the coast one after another.

"Hey, is this our pirate ship? It looks surprisingly good!"

Zoro, who was responsible for carrying the fitness equipment, put the huge metal pile on the ground with a "bang!" and looked at the future ship and exclaimed with satisfaction.

At this time, housekeeper Meili and Miss Keya walked in front of everyone, smiled and introduced to everyone:

"Although the style is a bit old, this is a boat I spent several years designing!"

"The frame structure is a center-stern dinghy using a jib."

"Its name is..."

"GO·Meili!!!"

"Meili number?!"

Luffy, who was lying on the bow of the ship, suddenly raised his head and smiled brightly:

"What a nice name!"

"Meili!!!"

He patted the sheep's head gently, as if talking to the ship.

And seeing the red color of the complete Meili with my own eyes, there was also a faint glimmer in my eyes at this moment.

The scene in the memory flashed back again.

That was the scene that impressed him most deeply in the pirate world...

In the vast sea, the Merry gradually disappeared in the raging fire and said its final farewell to the Straw Hats.

Even many years later, when he saw relevant clips on the video platform, he would not be able to help but shed tears.

but……

"Don't worry, Merry!"

"This time, I will never let you make the same mistake again!!!"

Chihong swore seriously in her heart.

In addition, he is also looking forward to when the ship spirit of the Meili appears. I wonder if he can take Meili into the game world to level up and learn Pokémon moves...

After all, there are many ghost-type Pokémon in the Pokémon world, all of which are very similar to Ship Pokémon.

The joy of owning a new ship is contagious to everyone in the Straw Hats.

Everyone carried the prepared materials onto the ship one after another.

The sun is just right and the breeze is not dry. It’s a good weather for sailing! ! !

Standing at the rail of the Merry, Usopp forcefully said goodbye to Keya and the three members of the Usopp Pirates.

"Goodbye, Miss Keya!!!"

"I will definitely become a brave sea warrior!!!"

"besides……"

"During my absence, you three must protect Miss Keya on my behalf!!!"

"Please don't worry! Captain Usopp!"

The atmosphere of parting fills the entire port, but it will eventually turn into longing and drift away with the waves of the sea.

Luffy stood on the captain's exclusive seat, with his hands on his hips and his expression in high spirits!

"Wow hahaha...little ones!!!"

"Sail! Set sail!!!"

"oh!!!"

The Straw Hats shouted in unison.

The pirate flag drawn by the great god Usopp, who knew everything except fighting, was flying on the highest mast of the ship.

Under Nami's command, the Meili began to turn its bow and head towards the vast world!

Do not know why……

This voyage is more refreshing than any previous one!

Luffy sat on the sheep's head, feeling the sea breeze blowing, and his open shirt rustling in the wind.

From the moment he saw Meili until now, a smile seemed to be imprinted on his face, and his mouth never closed.

Zoro came to the fitness area at the stern of the ship. While continuing his physical training, he recalled the realm of iron-cutting and swordsmanship that Chihong reminded him before.

His master Koshiro had told him about these things very early on.

But at that time, his level of swordsmanship was not yet at an advanced level, and he could not understand it well.

After the battle with Crowe, and through the catalysis of Pokémon energy, he vaguely felt as if he had caught something.

At this time, he was frowning and reading carefully.

Not far from Zoro, there was Red, who was leaning on the ship's railing and controlling the waves to push the ship forward.

There's no way, he's the only one in the entire pirate group who knows surfing moves.

Only he is qualified to be this tool man.

Fortunately, after becoming proficient, Chi Hong can perfectly control small waves without having to devote too much energy.

At this time, he was carefully putting a photo into his image collection.

That was a photo taken by the Straw Hat crew standing near the Merry to celebrate their new partners.

In the photos, everyone’s eyes are exceptionally bright and full of expectations for the future.

It was Chihong who asked her housekeeper Mei Li to help take the photo before setting off.

As for Usopp and Nami...

One by one, they hid in the cabin and studied the weather stick that Chihong told him.

One stood on the observation deck, observing the surrounding sea area with a telescope.

Not long after they left Xiluobu Village, Nami on the observation deck shouted in surprise:

"Something's happening! Come here quickly!"

"Huh?"

Hearing Nami's shout, for a moment, whether it was Luffy who was leisurely watching the wind, Zoro who was exercising, or Chihong who closed his eyes to nourish himself with primitive power, all stopped what they were doing and looked over.

Even Usopp in the cabin temporarily put down the design in his hand and curiously looked out.

Nami stood high up with a telescope and pointed in a direction:

"Look there!"

"There seems to be a ship over there!"

"It's a pirate ship!!!"

"Oh?!"

Luffy instantly became interested and stood on the bow and looked hard.

Pirates don't sympathize with each other just because they are in the same industry.

On the contrary...

When two pirate ships meet, it is very likely a precursor to the outbreak of war!

But at this moment, Nami shouted again:

"Wait! Why do their pirate flags look so familiar!"

"That seems to be the pirate flag of the Black Cat Pirates!"

"Oh!?"

Red came to the bow and could vaguely see a black dot slowly getting bigger.

"Interesting!" He grinned. "Kuro is already dead, but they still came here!"

"Just right, it also saves Miss Kaya the money of hiring bounty hunters."

Looking at Luffy who was eager to try, Red gently patted the bow.

"Hey, Luffy, the other side is just a group of small pirates, you are not excited, right?"

"Ah!?"

Luffy laughed and looked back at Red.

"Of course I am excited! This is our first encounter at sea!"

No matter what it is, the first time will always make people excited.

But Red shook his head: "Forget it..."

"It would be embarrassing for the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates to deal with a group of minions himself!"

"I think this time, why don't we test the combat effectiveness of the new recruits!"

"New recruits?"

At this time, Zoro came over and said in confusion:

"Do you want Nami and Usopp to deal with them?"

Red smiled slightly:

"You missed one, Zoro!"

"It should be Nami, Usopp..."

"And Merry!"
