Chapter 31 [Debut As A Pirate, A Gift From The Old Man]
The guys who ran out to contact the shipbuilder came back with stern expressions.Everyone cleared the table and began to discuss what kind of boat to build.There was a lot of discussion.It was decided that it had to be big, because of the size of Rex and Linlin, a smaller boat would not work.Then various functional rooms must be complete, such as medical rooms, entertainment rooms, leisure rooms, and even bars, cafes, libraries, swimming pools, hot springs, saunas, and restaurants.These guys seem to want to move everything up there.Rex's head was pounding after hearing this.Not to mention that half of the money obtained from the Carmelites had already been spent.Even if they had practiced regularly at the bottom of the sea over the years and acquired some treasures, they still couldn't build the ship they wanted.How much does it cost!At least a billion!In the end, Rex decided to get rid of useless things like cannons to save space.Except for the necessary function rooms, the rest of the budget is placed on everyone's bedroom.There are not many of them, there are twenty-two people in total, and each of them can have a bedroom.Everyone has a certain quota, and he can decorate his own house within the quota.Moreover, some rooms must be reserved, because a ship requires crew members with various skills.After going to sea, we have to recruit a group of people no matter what.Rex's decision was unanimously supported by everyone, especially the girls."Cough..." Rex coughed lightly."Linlin and I are too big and take up too much space. In order to save budget, we share a room.""..."Everyone suddenly fell silent, looking at Rex in surprise, and then at Linlin's somewhat rosy face.They seemed to understand something."Brother! You...""Linlin, you guys!"The boys and girls stared at the two of them. Seeing that Linlin suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, they immediately understood and started to cheer.Linlin blushed and glanced at Rex, pretending to pick up the newspaper to cover his face and read."That's enough, shut up!" Rex had no choice but to show his big brother's dignity.Everyone immediately shut up, but the teasing in their eyes and winking at each other continued.Rupert and the others were asked to take the deposit and go to another larger island to order a boat. Everyone dispersed.In the wooden house, Rex and Linlin cuddled together.Rex's eyes were empty, thinking about going to sea.After going to sea, there are not many routes to take. It is absolutely impossible to join the world government, which conflicts with his ambition.There don't seem to be many options left, right?'As expected, is the pirate route more suitable? 'After careful consideration, Rex decided to start his career as a pirate.However, he will not be a pirate who does all kinds of evil.Not to mention the moral values of the previous life, even for the ambition of this life, the reputation cannot be too bad.As for the first goal of going overseas,Rex looked at Linlin's delicate and beautiful face in his arms.'Pure gold, you must find it at the peak of Linlin's appearance! ''I don't want Linlin to grow old, and I don't want to grow old either! ''Since this world can achieve immortality, or immortality, then Linlin and I must be part of it. 'With the decision made, Rex touched Linlin's face, and after Linlin looked at him, he said to Linlin."I plan to become a pirate when I go to sea. I have to tell the old man about this.""Do you want to go?""No!" Linlin shook her head lazily. Suddenly she touched her belly and said, "I'm not pregnant with a baby, am I?""Uh... probably not." Rex scratched his head."I want to have children, many, many children, and grow our Charlotte family!" Linlin looked serious and longing."Uh... yes, yes, but we can talk about it later, we are still young now!""When we get older, let's have a football team, no, two football teams!""Hmph." Linlin snorted softly, stood up and walked to the bedroom arrogantly. She didn't get enough sleep last night.In a remote village, an old man was rocking in a rocking chair, enjoying the warmth of the sun with his eyes closed.Rex raised his legs and stepped into the hospital. The old man opened his eyes and looked."Have you decided to go to sea?""It seems you already know, old man?" Rex raised his eyebrows.The old man snorted and said, "The looks in the eyes of those brats yesterday were exactly the same as when I was young. They couldn't wait any longer.""That's right..." Rex nodded and sat down timidly in the somewhat cramped little courtyard."Everyone is really impatient, and so am I.""Now that our strength has reached this level, it no longer makes sense to stay in Wedel.""A magnificent era is coming, and I should be a trendsetter of the era.""Besides, I also want to continue to increase my strength, but there is nothing I can do here."As he said that, Rex glanced at the old man and said, "You've really finished teaching me!""Get out!" The old man sat up suddenly, blowing his beard and staring, "Can I still hide my secrets?""Hehe, it's just a joke!" Rex laughed, but thought to himself: 'It seems that even the old man doesn't know how to use such advanced applications. ''Think about it, if so, he would have more than a bounty of 1.8 billion. 'I remember that the old man retired before the reward of 1.8 billion was offered.'It seems that we can only think of a solution after we go to sea. '"Since you are going to sea, as a teacher, let me give you a gift!" The old man said, stood up from the rocking chair and walked into the house."A gift?" Rex rushed into the old man's room and shouted, "It's not worth anything and I don't want it!""Shut up, you're just going to piss off Laozi!" the old man who was rummaging through the boxes yelled, and then walked out of the house holding a box full of dust."Here you go, take it!" The old man threw the box to Rex."This is..." Rex had some guesses in his mind."Devil Fruit?" Sure enough, after opening the box, Rex's pupils shrank.After coming to this world for so many years, apart from the Soul Fruit, this is the second Devil Fruit he has seen.It's just a Zoan, I don't know what kind of animal it is.Seemingly seeing Rex's doubts and pity, the old man said"Do you think it's Zoan and you're a little disgusted?"Rex smiled awkwardly and said: "No way, no matter what Devil Fruit, it is a valuable secret treasure of the sea!""Besides, what you gave me, old man, is definitely precious!""Even if it's a piece of rotten wood, I'll treat it like a treasure!"After hearing what Rex said, the old man sneered."Come on!""This is the top phantom beast species!" The old man's eyes were full of memories and regrets, and it seemed that there was some story to tell."What!" Rex suddenly looked up, looking shocked.
