Sailing begins with becoming Luffy

"Devil Fruits?"

The moment they saw the ship spirit, Iceberg and Frankie already had plans to agree to Luffy.

However, as master shipbuilders, they can't just watch Luffy give up on the ship's spirit.

So, when Luffy said that he had prepared the Devil Fruit, the two of them were very curious.

What exactly is Luffy going to do so that he can use the new ship to sail while preserving the spirit of the old ship.

The key point is that even if you want two ships to sail at the same time, with the current situation of this ship, it will not be long left.

Even if Luffy had protected them well before, the ship did not receive major damage.

But with the material of this ship, it will undoubtedly be very dangerous to continue sailing on the great route.

"That's right, Devil Fruit. "

Luffy said, looking at Frankie, a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Hey, boy, look at what I'm doing, if there's a Devil Fruit, you can let your buddy eat it, and then settle the matter so we can build you a new ship." "

Frankie, who was furious at Luffy, couldn't stand this feeling and immediately screamed.

"As my future shipwright, this fruit is specially reserved for you to eat. "

"Huh?"

Hearing Luffy's words, Iceberg was shocked, if he understood correctly, this man knew about Frankie from the beginning.

There was even a Devil Fruit for Frankie.

How much heart does this man have to prepare a valuable Devil Fruit for a person who is not sure that he will be able to get on the boat?

Moreover, looking at Frankie's appearance, it is obviously the same as the first day I met this man.

When they met for the first time, he dared to directly say that he would give the Devil Fruit to Frankie to eat, where did he get his confidence?

"Hey, little ghost, don't be kidding, Lao Tzu won't be on your ship, so you better find your crew to eat this devil fruit!"

Frankie didn't come out of Iceberg's surprise when he said this, even though he usually looked like a gangster.

There is no shortage of robbing pirates' treasures, and he shows that he is an out-and-out bastard.

But if it's about ships, Frankie is a different story.

"Swallowing fruit is the ability to synthesize what you eat, resulting in the creation of new substances. "

Franky's refusal was also expected by Luffy.

After all, the two had only met for the first time, and they had not experienced the plots in the original book, so it was naturally impossible for Frankie to agree immediately.

"As a reformer, you should understand the meaning of this fruit, right?"

The synthesis of new substances is undoubtedly a great attraction for Frankie.

"Synthesizing a new substance?"

Sure enough, this ability still intrigued Frankie.

"For example, some metal materials that have a theoretical foundation but have never been able to break through, if you have this knowledge, it should be easier to rely on this fruit to complete. "

In the original book, Valpo was able to meet a blind cat and a dead mouse to synthesize Valpo metal, which shows that the raw material of this metal exists in the pirate world.

So, in the hands of Frankie, who has a certain theoretical basis, can swallowing fruit go further?

“......"

Faced with these things proposed by Luffy, Frankie was indeed moved, but it was impossible to say that he would agree to Luffy because of this.

Those little brothers of their own, but they still need to take care of themselves!

"Although what you say is tempting, I will not agree to you. "

"Hey, Luffy, can you explain the current situation to us. "

Just as Luffy and Frankie were talking, everyone who had been in a state of shock since Merry's appearance just now also came to their senses.

But at the same time, they are still in a state of fog, and the Merry has produced a ship spirit? But what is a ship spirit?

Luffy wants to invite this pervert who looks down on the Merry and only wears briefs to come on board?

What are these things?

Moreover, that swallowing fruit is prepared for this pervert in front of you?

Everything happened so suddenly that everyone couldn't digest it for a while.

It always feels like a fairy tale, after all, even such a thing as a ship elf has appeared.

"Frankie is the shipwright I'm going to invite aboard, and Merry is the spirit of the Merry, who was born not long ago. "

"Not so long ago? So Luffy, you always knew about Merry's existence?"

Luffy's words instantly caught everyone's attention.

Why did Luffy know about Merry's existence in advance, and if Luffy hadn't called Melly out today, he might not even have known about Merry's existence all along.

"That'...... That's what I asked Luffy not to tell you about yet. "

The illusory raincoat elf spoke, and the ethereal voice reached everyone's ears again.

"Because I'm not sure if I can always follow you on adventures, I simply won't meet you, so I don't need to say goodbye!"

Hearing what Melly said, Iceberg and Frankie's pupils contracted at the same time.

Although he knows that only when the crew is very close to the ship, it is possible to give birth to the ship spirit.

But I didn't expect that the ship spirit in front of me would actually consider the feelings of the crew so much.

"If Luffy hadn't said there was a way to solve my problem, maybe I would have come out to see you when the Merry reached the last minute!"

"Merry ......"

"Don't be so sentimental, I'm sure swallowing fruit will indeed solve Merry's problem, so ......"

Luffy didn't finish his sentence, just stared straight at Frankie.

And Melly also turned his head to Frankie, although he couldn't see his facial features clearly, he could feel that Merry was looking at him at this time.

"That's a ......"

Iceberg looked at this scene incredulously, did the ship spirit really want to continue sailing with this group of people?

"Really, can't I swim from now on?"

Frankie scratched the back of his head, and although he didn't explicitly agree to go to his own boat, the meaning of his words was that he was willing to eat the swallowing fruit.

"Zoro, go and get the Swallowing Fruit!"

Now that Frankie has promised to eat the swallowing fruit, it is natural that it will not be too late.

If you eat the Swallow Fruit earlier, you will be able to become familiar with the power of the Swallow Fruit earlier.

In addition, when building a new ship, it may be possible to use a new type of metal.

With Frankie's knowledge of this, this kind of thing is not impossible.

"Got it. "

Sauron said yes and returned to the Merry.

When he came down again, he already had a strange fruit in his hand.

Now that he had promised Luffy, Frankie was also unceremonious, took the swallowing fruit from Zoro's hand, and swallowed it directly in one bite.

"Bah, bah, bah...... Why is this Devil Fruit so unpalatable!"
