Chapter 143
what???
Three question marks appeared in Logan's head??
Galley-la Company gone.
What kind of plot is this?
He asked with a puzzled look: "What do you mean it's gone?"
Luffy also asked blankly: "Yes! Granny Kokoro said that Galley-la Company is the largest shipbuilding company on this island, why did it disappear?"
"The largest shipbuilding company..., hehe..."
The miserable smile on the strong man's face became even more tragic. He murmured, "Yes, it is indeed the largest shipbuilding company. If you had come one day earlier, any kind of ship do you want to build and any kind of ship do you want to repair?, we can handle it."
"Hey!! can you speak clearly!" Zoro grew impatient.
"Well, let's find your boss, Iceburg. Where is he?" Seeing that the shipman's mood was not right, Logan felt that it was better not to waste time here.
But these words angered the shipman all of a sudden.
"Bastard!! You are sent by that group!! The mayor of Water 7 is already dead, why don't you let him go? Do you still want to see if he is completely dead!!!?
Regardless of the injury on his stomach, the shipman was about to pounce on Logan and the others when he left.
Logan activated the shield casually and blocked the shipman grid.
"Don't be impulsive, we don't know what happened. We just arrived here today, and we were recommended by Granny Kokoro."
Logan tried to appease the shipman's emotions, and then said, "If possible, you'd better explain the matter clearly, maybe we can help.
"Do you want to help? Hahaha!! Do the pirates want to take care of the world government's affairs? Go away, Just go away...…!!"
The shipman laughed wildly, and then cried again
Seeing him like this, the three had no choice but to leave.
After leaving, Zoro analyzed: "It seems that something big happened yesterday, which caused a devastating blow to the company."
Logan nodded: "Just now he mentioned that the mayor of Water 7 is dead. I think we have to investigate this matter."
Looking at the way the man spoke just now, Logan felt that the mayor of Water 7 should not be dead, but was seriously injured.
Could it be...
Did CP9 already taking action???
Thinking of this, Logan immediately asked a girl walking across: "Excuse me, was there a storm yesterday?"
Seeing Logan's handsome face, the girl immediately replied with a peachy smile: "Yes! Aqua Laguna was here yesterday."
!!
That's it
Although Logan can't remember the specific time in the original plot, there are some things that can be used as a reference for the time node.
For example, this Aqua Laguna, in the original plot, a storm occurred on the day when CP9 performed their operation.
And now, this storm happened yesterday...
no doubt
The people of CP9 have already attack Iceburg.
"What is that, melon? Where did you buy it?" Luffy showed interest in this thing.
"Don't ask so many questions, let's go to the mayor building!!"
Before the girl could answer Luffy, Logan pulled them up and ran away.
When they came to the municipal building
Galley-la Company's shipmen are all here!
And, besides them, Logan also saw Franky's family.
But Franky was not seen.
In front of the municipal building, a man in a wheelchair covered in bandages was talking to everyone.
Logan took a closer look, isn't he the mayor of Water 7, Iceburg?
"Who are you!" Suddenly seeing three strangers barging in, everyone present became vigilant.
Logan immediately explained: "We came in peace!! We were recommended by Granny Kokoro to find Iceburg"
"Don't lie!!"
"We won't believe it!!"
"Don't even think about hurting the mayor again!!"
The crowd was excited, as if they wanted to swallow Logan and others alive
But at this moment, Iceburg weakly shouted: "Let them come over."
"mayor!!"
"boss!!"
Everyone refused to let it go.
Iceburg raised his hand and waved it weakly: "Don't worry, the people in the government have already got what they want, and my life is worthless to them!"
At this time, the mayor of Water 7 was not worried about someone coming to assassinate him at all.
Because from the beginning to the end, the target level of the world government is not him, but the blueprint he knows!
Iceburg has a high prestige in the hearts of these people.
Since he insisted on saying this, everyone had no choice but to make way.
Looking at the three people who came over, Iceburg asked, "What are you here for?"
"We're here to find a shipwright to be our crewmate!!" Luffy showed off directly.
"Let me say it!"
Logan grabbed Luffy, and then explained: "We really want to find a shipwright to join our pirate group. We met Granny Kokoro at sea before, and we chatted with her for a long time, and then she recommended us to come to Galley-la Company."
As he said that, Logan took out a letter and handed it to Iceburg, "It was written by her, and I just leave it to you."
The mayor of Water 7 took the letter, which contained only one sentence.
[Find them a shipwright, mura!]
A kissable red lip print on it.
Tear!!
The mayor of Water 7 tore the letter into pieces immediately.
"asshole!!_"
The people at the bottom of the steps were furious, thinking that Logan had done something outrageous.
"Ah~ Be safe and don't be impatient!!"
Iceburg quickly reached out his hand to signal everyone not to panic, and then explained: "It's Kokoro's letter, no mistake."
"But... why are you so angry?"
Barry, one of the ship's foremen, asked worriedly.
"Oh..., that's because Kokoro kissed a lip print on it, which made me feel uncomfortable"
Iceburg explained, and then he looked at Luffy, "Since it was recommended by Kokoro, then I can find one for you."
"Great, Uncle, you are such a nice person!!!"
Luffy was very happy to hear that Iceburg was willing to help.
However, the mayor of Water 7 said again: "Don't worry, I haven't finished talking yet! Although I promised to find you, you are pirates. Whether the shipmen here are willing to join you is beyond my control. It's gone."
As he spoke, he pointed to the crowd below and said, "The best shipwrights in this city are here, you can find it yourself."
"Is this okay..." Zoro expressed his confusion.
How do you feel that this crewmate is so casual
But Luffy didn't think so, he immediately looked at everyone happily, and shouted: "Everyone, my name is Monkey D. Luffy, and I'm the man who wants to become The Pirate King!! Who wants to be my crewmate!!"
A moment of silence
The atmosphere at the scene was awkward!
"It seems that they are not interested in joining the Pirate King crew..." Zoro whispered to Luffy with a black line on his forehead.
But when these words fell into the ears of Iceburg, it made him feel really excited!!!
Pirate King...
He remembered his teacher, Tom!!!
The Fishmen who used to build the pirate ship for Pirate King Roger!
And now...
The kid who appeared in front of him also kept shouting to become the Pirate King...
Could this be some kind of fate?
And just before this, his fellow apprentice was also captured by CP9!!
If there is such a thing as fate
Maybe....., give it a try!!!
Thinking of this, Iceburg immediately asked: "Your name is Luffy..., is that what they call you?"
"Of course, uncle!" Luffy has a good impression of Iceburg and thinks he is very nice.
"Luffy, let me tell you the truth. These shipwrights already have a steady income and good life here, so they are definitely not willing to join the pirate organization. "Iceburg said.
"Huh~?" Luffy opened his mouth, a little depressed.
The mayor of Water 7 continued: "However..., there was once a person who built a battleship for the Pirate King Gold Roger!!"
"Great!! I want this guy!!" When he heard that he had built a battleship for One Piece, Luffy was revived with full blood.
Iceburg shook his head: "`" But that person has had died for several years."
"Ah!!?" Luffy felt that his heart couldn't bear this torment.
Zoro also protested: "Hey, hey! Since he died, why do you mention it!!"
Without meeting the look of dissatisfaction in Zoro eyes, Iceburg continued: "There is one apprentice who is still alive! If there is anyone who will be the best shipwright in the world, it must be him!!
The originally slumped mood was filled with passion again!!!
Luffy jumped up suddenly: "Okay!! That's him!!"
The mayor of Water 7 spread his hands: "But he is going to die soon..."
puff!!--
Luffy looked at Iceburg with incredible sad eyes: "You...are you a devil?, why do you keep playing with us"
The mayor of Water 7 smiled: "But you can save him!!!"
"Huh? Great idea!!" Luffy regained his energy, he took the hand of Iceburg, "Tell me, where is he?"
"Let's wait for someone to finish talking first!!" Zoro pulled Luffy back.
Iceburg took a deep breath: "Let me tell you a story first"
Then
Iceburg began to tell his past, a story of him, Franky, and Tom
Hearing this story, Luffy was furious: "These Government agents are so hateful!! Grandpa Tom built such a good sea train for everyone, but they killed Grandpa Tom! "
"Hey!! You told this story on purpose to let us save your fellow apprentice, right?!!!"Zoro's face was grim understanding iceburg motif unlike Luffy
"Yes." Iceburg didn't hide anything, and then said: "But you don't have to go. This is your choice. I can Guarantee what I said is true, Franky has perfectly inherited our master Tom's shipwright Technique, even without recognition!! He is definitely the best shipwright in the world!!"
"But... it is true that he is going to die soon."
"And you don't have to be too sentimental, the opponent is the World Government and Enies Lobby!!! No pirate group is stupid enough to go against the World Government"
"Okay, I'm done talking. Just treat it as a small talk, you can leave now." As he spoke, Iceburg made a gesture to see off the guests.
The reason why he said so much just now is because Luffy shouted "I am the man who is going to be the Pirate King", which made him feel emotional.
But after he finished speaking, he suddenly felt that his idea was simply unrealistic!!!
That is the World Government!!!
Who would be stupid enough clash sword with them
However....…
Just when he laughed at himself for being too naive, a naive Captain who was more naive than him announced firmly: "Okay, I've decided! The Strawhats Pirate wants this Franky!!"
