Chapter 186

Carnival Island

ps: Meili will be fine, don't worry!

Meili, restaurant.

After fighting for most of the afternoon, the leaking bottom compartment of the Meili was finally repaired.

Everyone was panting from exhaustion, and the hands holding the cutlery were trembling while eating.

Of course, except for Luffy, he never uses cutlery when eating.

The atmosphere in the restaurant was like a gloomy cloud at this time, and everyone looked worried.

Because of the huge impact just now, the keel of the Meili has been damaged, and it is likely that it will be unable to sail in the near future.

This is news that no one on the ship wants to hear, but it is also the reality that the Straw Hats have to face now.

As the saying goes, Taoist clothes are not as good as new, and people are not as good as old.

Although the Merry is just a ship, the Straw Hats have long regarded it as an indispensable companion.

Now this companion is seriously injured because of them. Why doesn't this make people sad?

As if he couldn't bear the sad atmosphere in the restaurant, Usopp stood up and said, "Let me tell you, everyone, why are you so downcast?"

"Isn't it just that the keel is injured? Can't we just find a shipwright to repair it? Yes. Right?"

"Usopp, don't you know how important the keel is to a ship? Don't think of things so simply." Sanji responded.

"Then what do you think we should do? Give up the Merry?" Usopp was furious.

"I…I don't know." Sanji lowered his head and said nothing.

"So, didn't we just get a large sum of gold?"

"? If we hire the best shipwright in the world, we can definitely repair the Merry. Right, Sammy?"

Usopp turned to ask Sammy, expect this "smart guy" to have an answer.

But Sami knew that his answer would be impossible for Usopp to accept.

He could only say vaguely: "There will be a way, there will be."

Usopp immediately said happily: "You heard it, Sami said there will be a way, don't you believe me or him?"

Chopper looked at Usopp who seemed to be grasping at a life-saving straw and couldn't help but lower his head.

Even he could hear the helplessness in Sami's mouth, how could Usopp not hear it?

He is just comforting himself and deceiving himself.

"Hey, Nami? Where is the nearest island? We'll sail there right away!"

"Ah? Oh!" Nami was stunned for a moment and replied, "The island closest to us is the Seven Waters Capital."

"Seven Waters" Water City? I have heard of this name." Robin interjected, "This island has gathered the best shipwrights in the entire great route." "I

heard that even Roger's flagship was built by shipwrights there. !"

When everyone heard this, they were all surprised.

It seems that Roger's name is so famous that anything related to him will be covered with a halo of turning decay into magic.

Roger's shipwright should be able to repair the Merry, right?

"Really?" Usopp's eyes lit up and he said happily, "There are even craftsmen who built ships for the Pirate King, so wouldn't it be easy to repair the Merry?" "

I hope so." Zoro's tone was not firm, but At least I'm no longer desperate.

"Very good!" Luffy, as the captain, finally made his final decision.

He stood up, raised his fists and said, "Everyone! Let's set off towards the Capital of Seven Waters!"

"Okay!!" Usopp and Chopper hugged each other and shouted excitedly.

Sami just shook his head and smiled bitterly, without pouring cold water on him.

He knows that some things must be truly faced.

People are forced to make the right choices, before that they just choose to escape.

After everyone had eaten and drank enough, they dispersed from the restaurant. Luffy took Usopp and Chopper to play on the deck.

Robin sat aside with a cup of coffee, but his eyes were not looking at them. Instead, he was staring in the further direction.

Sami walked over and asked concernedly: "What's wrong? Robin?"

He woke up, put down the cup, shook his head and smiled: "It's nothing, I just feel uneasy in my heart. Maybe I'm overthinking." "

Yes." Are you worried about the Merry?"

"Maybe." Robin said, "Sammy, if one day I have to leave everyone like the Merry, what will you do?" "

Don't be so stupid. Word!" Sami said seriously, "Unless I die, I will never let you leave." "

If I want to leave on my own initiative, will you stop me?"

"Yes, you must be where I am. !"

Robin didn't expect Sami to say that. She frowned and said, "You are forcing me. I hate others interfering in my choices." "

You gave me no choice in the first place."

"You…"

"Hey! Sammy, Robin, come and see! I found something fun!" Luffy suddenly ran between the two of them and shouted happily.

Thank God!

Sami silently praised Luffy in his heart, this guy finally did something good.

"What did you find, Luffy? Show me quickly!" Sammy said, pretending to be very interested.

He immediately handed Sammy a bottle with a smile.

The bottle was covered with water plants, and it looked like it had been floating on the sea for a long time.

Fortunately, it was not damaged, the bottle mouth was tightly sealed, and the contents inside were not damaged.

Sammy opened the bottle and poured out a rolled piece of parchment.

"Sammy, what's written on it?" Luffy asked impatiently.

"Does this need to be said? It must be a treasure map!" Usopp said firmly from the side.

"Treasure map? Really?!" Chopper asked in surprise, his eyes widening.

"Haha, Chopper, did you know? In fact, I was a famous treasure hunter even before I got on the ship!" Usopp began to brag.

"Really? Usopp? Have you discovered many treasures?" Chopper naturally believed it.

Luffy also shouted exaggeratedly: "That's awesome! Usopp, tell me about it!"

"Ahem, okay, then I will reluctantly tell you about my Captain Usopp's treasure hunting experience."

Usopp coughed twice and said in a pretentious manner, "That's a…"

"You all guessed wrong, this is an invitation!"

Sami suddenly interrupted his speech, and Usopp immediately changed. Got to be downcast.

"Invitation? What kind of invitation is it? A wedding?" The only thing Chopper could think of was a wedding invitation.

"Getting married? Doesn't that mean there is a lot of food?"

"Idiot! Who would put a wedding invitation in a bottle?"

"I don't know how long this bottle has been floating on the sea. Even if it is a wedding invitation, the wedding has already been held. It's over."

"Usopp was right." Sammy unfolded the parchment and showed it to them.

I saw a beautiful island painted on it, full of feasting and bustling.

Not only are there row upon row of big cities, but there are also beaches full of tropical style.

Luffy and the three of them immediately exclaimed, and even Nami and others who were watching the excitement couldn't help but be fascinated.

"This is an invitation to a celebration." Sami introduced,

"A guy named Carnival Baron invites those who can receive this invitation and his companions to attend the celebration on Carnival Island where he is!"

"Carnival" !!"

Luffy and Chopper looked at each other, goosebumps rising all over their bodies with excitement.

"It's only in these two days." Sammy said.

"Awesome! Let's go to the celebration together! It must be fun!" Luffy yelled.

"Stop joking! Idiot!" Nami scolded, "The Merry was so seriously injured and we haven't repaired it yet. Why are we going to Carnival Island!" "

That's right! Luffy!" Usopp also said, "We have to rush to the Seven Waters Capital right away. Let's forget about the celebrations!"

"No! I'm going! I'm going!" Luffy lost his childish temper again and rolled on the ground.

"Asshole! This guy doesn't care about others at all!" Nami raised her fist and was about to beat him up.

Sami quickly said: "Stop being such a spoiled brat, Luffy, do you want to be beaten?"

Luffy curled his lips and stood up. Although he was unwilling to do so, he was still afraid of Nami's fist.

"That's right, Luffy, the key is to hurry up and go to the Seven Waters Capital now."

Sami said, "It's just a pity that the 500 million beli bonus, if…"

"What 500 million beli? Sami Mi!!"

Nami teleported to Sami and asked impatiently.

Sami took a step back: "The Carnival Baron prepared a competition at the celebration, and the winner can get 500 million beli." "

Let's go! Go to Carnival Island!" Nami shouted, raising her hands.

"Let's go! Go eat meat!" Luffy also shouted.

"Sammy!!! Who told you to talk about money!!" Usopp said angrily.

"I'm sorry, I accidentally let it slip."

"It's weird if I believe you!! Bastard!!"
