Chapter 178: Building A New Ship The Size Of A Warship! (1/2)

The capital of water 7, the coast!

"What a super—ship!"

"Captain, how on earth did you manage to pack such a large ship into such a small bottle?"

Franky stood behind Rifan, looking very curiously at the Black Pearl that Rifan put into the bottle.

Gion on the other side of Rifan heard this question and looked over with the same curiosity.

As for Marine, they were troubled by Rifan's Black Pearl a long time ago.

Of course, not only the Black Pearl can shrink, but more importantly, the Black Pearl seems to have the ability to move quickly.

It is no exaggeration to say that Gion chose to be a hostage.

There was also the notion of investigating the Black Pearl.

It's just that until now, she hasn't been able to see what is so special about the Black Pearl.

"Franky, do you also want to make a ship that can grow and shrink like this?"

Rifan looked at Franky with a smile on his face.

"Of course, if I can build such a dream ship, I will be super— happy!"

Franky nodded without hesitation.

"In this case, I will give you a task."

"Franky, I want you to build me a big ship."

"There must be various facilities inside, not only places for exercise, but also places for entertainment."

"It would be best if each crew member could have a separate rest room."

"As for the specific size of the ship, you can refer to the size of the Marine warship."

"In terms of performance, I hope this ship is the size of a warship, but even with just a few of us, handling it should be easy."

"Material-wise, you can use the best materials possible."

"As for the fee, you can ask for it from Mikita."

"After you build the ship, I will help you make this dream ship that can sail around the world also have the ability to become bigger and smaller."

Rifan said with a smile on his face.

Although the pirate group only needs to invite 30 crew members to upgrade to the next level.

In theory, at this stage, it is enough to build a new ship that can accommodate 30 crew members.

But considering that Franky's dream is to build a dream ship that can sail around the world.

It can be said that if Franky's dream is to come true.

The ship that will be built at this moment is the ship that the Black Pearl Pirates will use in the future.

Therefore, Rifan hopes to build a ship of sufficient size in one step.

In this way, even if 50, 100, or even more crew members are invited in the future, there will be no problem that there not enough space on the ship.

Even, if the new pirate ship can have the size of a warship.

Even if he invite a giant to board the ship in the future, there is no problem.

"Building...the ship of my dreams?!"

Sure enough, after hearing the words 'Dream Ship', Franky's eyes became more radiant.

"Captain Rifan, I do know that there is a place where you can buy the materials of the treasure tree."

"I can also build huge ships that a handful of people can steer."

"However, if the ship is too large, all precious trees must be used as materials, which will require a lot of money."

"Our pirate group, do we have enough funds?"

"Also, how do you make the ship I built have the same capabilities as the Black Pearl?"

Franky blinked and asked curiously.

"If you can make a new ship bigger or smaller, you will know when you build the new ship."

"As for the funds for purchasing materials, isn't Shiki's body still in our hands?"

"As long as Shiki is handed over to Marine, Marine should be able to give us a reward for Shiki."

Rifan said, looking at Gion with a smile on his face.

At the same time, Nami and Carina also looked at Gion with bright eyes.

"Unfortunately, Rifan, even though you're about to become a Shichibukai, as a pirate, you can't collect bounties from other pirates like bounty hunters."

Gion shook her head and said with a light smile.

"What, can't you make accommodations?"

Nami pouted and complained.

"Rules are rules, and there is nothing I can do about it."

Gion shook her head again.

"Unfortunately, I wanted to save some Berry."

"Forget it, just use our savings."

"Mikita, I leave the new ship making to you and Franky."

"Franky, use your fastest speed and technology to build our 'dream ship'."

Rifan laughed.

"Don't worry, Captain, I will definitely build our 'Dream Ship' Suuppeeerrr! "

Franky put on his signature pose and said excitedly.

Originally, he thought that after he joined the Black Pearl Pirates.

There may be no way to build the ship of his dreams.

After all, Rifan and others already owned the Black Pearl.

The reality is that not only will he have the opportunity to build a new ship, but he will also have enough money to create a ship that exceeds his expectations in perfection!

Rifan will even use his ability to give new ships special abilities!

How could this not make Franky happy and happy?

After saying goodbye to Rifan, he quickly ran to his home.

After meeting with his younger brothers to ensure safety, he will immediately start the design of the new ship.

"Okay, let's all disband."

"It's rare to come to this city, everyone can take a good look around."

"But don't forget the precautions you should have."

Rifan looked back at Franky and said to everyone with a smile on his face.

After a while, there were only Ada, Gion and Kalifa left beside Rifan.

"Rifan, I'm about to say goodbye."

Ada took a step forward, raised her hand and stroked Rifan's cheek lightly.

"I understand, please be careful, if you need anything, just contact me."

Rifan nodded and said.

The separation in the capitals of water 7 is something that has been agreed a long time ago, so Ada's words at this moment did not surprise Rifan.

"I will."

Ada nodded slightly, and tiptoed to leave an affectionate kiss on Rifan's lips.

Then she turned and walked in the direction of the sea train.

"Rifan, isn't that woman a member of your Black Pearl Pirates?"

Gion looked at Ada's back and asked curiously.

"I never said she was a member of the Black Pearl Pirates."

"Compared to this, Kalifa, is there any place you want to go?"

Rifan looked at Kalifa and said in a gentle tone.

He knew this place was not a friendly town for Kalifa.

If the boatmen of the shipbuilding company Carrera meet Kalifa at this moment, the two parties are likely to conflict.

In order not to cause unnecessary trouble, Rifan felt that he had to stay with Kalifa for a while.

"I...wanted to check out Blueno's bar."

After Kalifa hesitated a little, she said.

"Then I'll go with you."

"Gion, you also act with me."

Rifan nodded and said.

Gion: "I don't have choice do I?"

Kalifa: "Thank you, Captain Rifan, please follow me."

After Kalifa finished speaking, she planned to take a step forward.

At this moment, a den-den mushi's ringtone suddenly rang on Rifan.

Rifan took out the den-den mushi, which was the den-den mushi that Gion had left with him before.

"At this time, the Marine side is calling, maybe something will happen to me becoming Shichibukai."

Rifan glanced at Gion with a smile on his face, and then connected the phone in front of Gion and Kalifa.

"This is Rifan."

Rifan said.

"Rifan! I'm Spandine, a World Government official."

"I ask you, is my son Spandam still alive?"

On the opposite side of the den-den mushi, a voice that was irritated and revealing anger came over.

"Spandine?" Rifan raised his eyebrows, "Who is your son, I don't care if he is alive or not!"

"Also, where did you get this den-den mushi's number?"

"Did that guy Sengoku give it to you?"

Of course he know Spandine was talking about Spandam, but Rifan doesn't plan to say anything.

At least not before he didn't want to be a Shichibukai.

"Bastard! Spandam is the supreme commander of the Enies Lobby!"

"I know you saved that woman Kalifa, since you saved that woman, you must have seen my son!"

Spandine growled angrily.

"I see. I did meet a man who looked like an officer at the Enies Lobby."

"But I have no obligation to save that guy, and he has already been killed."

"Also, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up."

"Don't call me in the future."

For Spandine, Rifan definitely hate this guy.

This guy had something to do with Robin's mother's death, after all.

That is to say, if Spandine appeared in front of Rifan in person, he will definitely beat this guy and leave him to Robin to finish off.

"Wait, I won't allow you to hang up, you..."

Before Spandine finished speaking, Rifan hung up the call directly.

"Gion, do you think that guy Sengoku has a brain problem?"

"He actually give the number to such a retard."

"Isn't this embarrassing for me?"

Rifan threw away the den-den mushi in his hand, turned to Gion and said.

"Rifan, you should listen to that person."

"Marshal Sengoku will not just hand over the number to him casually."

"He should have gotten your number through the World Government."

"If I'm guessing right, the business he's calling involves this Ms. Kalifa next to you."

Gion said with a light smile.

As her voice fell, the den-den mushi rang again.

Rifan glanced at Kalifa, and after thinking for a while, he chose to connect the call.

"Damn Rifan, how dare you hang up on me!"

Spandine growled angrily.

But Rifan obviously didn't listen to his barking thoughts.

"Talk about what your superior want from me, Spandine. The matter of your son's death is already a certainty."

"No matter how much you growl, he won't be revive."

"If you want to blame someone, go to hell and blame Shiki."

"If you keep talking nonsense again, there won't be second time."

Rifan said coldly.

Rifan's words caused Spandine, who was opposite the den-den mushi, to fall into silence.

Extreme anger and sadness rolled in his heart.

However, after seeing the impatient Five Elders on the opposite side

Finally, he suppressed the anger and sadness of his son's death and said to the den-den mushi microphone:

"Rifan, hand over Kalifa! The World Government does not allow the agents it trains to become pirates!"

"What if I say no, Mr. Spandine?"

"If you want to be a Shichibukai, you have to hand her over!"

"Unfortunately, my answer is still no!"

"Rifan, you have to think clearly, this is also the words of the Five Elders!"

"Then you tell the Five Elders, I'm just interested of Shichibukai position, doesn't mean I want it that bad. So my answer is no!"

Rifan's answer made Spandine a little dazed.

The Five Elders facing him were also a little surprised.

In their thinking, Rifan should have paid much attention to Shichibukai position.

Otherwise, there is no need to agree to Sengoku's harsh conditions in order to become a Shichibukai.

As for Kalifa, it took less than a day to meet Rifan.

Rifan has no reason to give up his Shichibukai position for such a woman.

What they don't know is that Rifan is certain that the Marines and World Government wouldn't give up on his appointment as a Shichibukai just because of Kalifa.

You know, he has a Marine Admiral alternate in his hand.

And Kalifa is just a cp9 agent.

Even if she knows some of the dark side of the World Government, as far as cp9's authority is concerned, what she can touch must be limited.

It can be said that Kalifa does not have much intelligence value.

Therefore, it is extremely worthless for Marine and World Government to take on a Marine Admiral candidate like Gion because of such a former cp9 agent.

Even the World Government doesn't care about a Marine Admiral candidate like Gion.

They also have to consider the impact of Rifan not becoming Shichibukai.

With the Summit War around the corner, not even the World Government wants Rifan to be not only unhelpful, but potentially a troublemaker.

"Let me talk to Rifan."

Just when Spandine didn't know how to continue the call with Rifan.

The golden-haired elder, whose name is Shepherd Ju Peter, approached Spandine and picked up the den-den mushi in his hand.
