Sailing begins with becoming Luffy

“......"

Luffy didn't even know what expression to make for a while.

If you don't have physical strength, does it mean that the ability of the Thunder Fruit can be used casually?

If that's the case, wouldn't it be a little too buggy, does this kind of thing really exist in this world?

An illusory body that can't be hurt except for the overlord's domineering spirit won't be unable to use its abilities due to lack of physical strength.

Is this reasonable?

Luffy fell into deep thought, this is no limit at all, Luffy feels that Merry can even single-handedly take on the whole world.

If that's the case, consumption can consume people to death.

"Is this really possible?"

Everyone understood what Melly meant.

How terrifying would it be to be able to use the Thunder Fruit infinitely?

Unless you encounter Luffy's complete immunity to lightning attacks, even if the power is weak, you can grind the enemy to death.

And once you dodge, no matter how much physical strength you have, you will run out one day.

Could it be that the ship spirit really has such incredible properties?

"If that's the case, isn't Merry invincible?"

Usopp became excited again, this is the Merry, with such a powerful ship spirit, there is no need to be afraid of running into other pirates or something in the future.

"Not really, folks, although I certainly don't have the stamina you described, I still need to rest. "

Rest, does that mean that Melly has mental limitations?

However, this is also normal, although the illusory body has no physical limitations, but it will have mental fatigue just like humans.

I think this is also the reason why Merry can't awaken the armed color domineering, but can awaken the seeing and hearing color domineering.

"Rest, do you mean sleeping like we do?"

Usopp was stunned for a moment, and then asked very puzzled.

The ship's spirit still needs to rest? How to rest, do you sleep? However, I haven't seen Merry sleeping with everyone in the past few days!

"Hmm...... It's different from your sleep, but it's pretty much the same. "

"Every time I appear in this form, I need to rest for as long as I want, and this rest is attached to the body. "

"At this time, although I can hear you and communicate with you, I can't use the domineering of seeing and hearing. "

"I haven't tried to use the power of the Devil Fruit yet, but I guess it won't work. "

Melly spoke out about her limitations.

This is the first time I've heard of this kind of restriction for ship spirits!

Luffy rubbed his chin, no wonder Merry didn't usually appear in front of everyone.

"And how long can you appear every time you appear?"

If that's the case, there's no need for Merry to be attached to the main Merry all the time.

"At the moment, it can stay like this for up to three days. "

Melly thought about it, and although she hadn't tried to appear in front of everyone for 3 days in a row, Melly was sure that this was her limit.

"However, I have a feeling that if there are more people on the ship who can get along with me like Luffy and you, the longer I can be around. "

This......

"Well, Merry, do you still have this kind of restriction?

"Hey, Frankie, do you know why?"

As the most knowledgeable Frankie, what should he know?

"I don't know, but I think it has something to do with the reason why the ship spirit appeared!"

Why does the ship spirit appear?

The ship spirit will appear, according to Frankie's previous statement, because the relationship between the ship and the crew is close to a certain level, and the ship gives birth to the ship spirit in order to repay the favor.

It doesn't seem to make sense that the ship spirit will be able to exist longer as the number of people who are close to it increases.

Everyone thought thoughtfully.

Luffy, on the other hand, thought of another point, the more people who fell in love with Merry, the longer Merry existed.

So if it reaches a certain point, will Melly become a human completely?

As a traverser, Luffy is even more daring to speculate in this regard, but how does it feel so mysterious?

Moreover, even if Merry could indeed be completely human, how many crew members would it take to be so close to Merry?

Even if Luffy doesn't have the idea of recruiting only 10 people now, it is impossible to recruit people without restrictions.

Moreover, if you hire someone casually, how many will be so close to Melly?

What's more, Merry has now become Merry Chariot No. 1, and it is even more difficult for those who come on board later to cultivate this intimate relationship with Meli.

Or is it possible to get close to the ship spirit Merry Sekiko to this extent?

However, these are still too far away, and as for whether or not they can turn Merry into a human, it is still just Luffy's unwarranted speculation.

"But this is also very powerful, with the power of the Thunder Fruit, how many people can last 3 days in Merry's hands?"

This is true, with the power of the Thunder Fruit, ordinary pirates would not be able to withstand a thunder pillar attack.

And those who can resist the power of the thunder fruit will basically be solved by Luffy and Zoro.

Besides, although Merry, who is attached to the main body, can't use the domineering of seeing and hearing, if someone gets on Luffy's ship, Merry can still feel it.

Watching the ship is still not a problem for Merry.

"But I didn't expect you to give the ship spirit a Devil Fruit, which is really surprising. "

The purpose of the ship was to sail, but it is unbelievable that someone is now giving the ship spirit Devil Fruit.

However, this also proves that they do have a good relationship with this ship, and even if they change ships, they still do not forget this ship.

It's no wonder that such an ordinary boat can give birth to the legendary existence of the ship spirit.

The point is that this ship spirit can actually eat Devil Fruits, and is willing to eat Devil Fruits.

You must know that after eating a Devil Fruit, nothing will be related to swimming again.

Even a ship can be cursed by the Devil Fruit.

And for a ship, if it can't sail, then what's the point of existence?

But what about the ship spirit in front of him, after knowing that he could not continue sailing for too long, he took the initiative to appear.

In Frankie's view, this is the ship's spirit who shows up to tell the crew to change ships in time.

And after knowing that he could continue to adventure with these crew members, he resolutely ate the Devil Fruit that would prevent him from going to sea.

It's not just the crew who are close to the ship, but the ship spirit is also close to them.

Isn't this the kind of team they've been looking for to hand over the ship they built to them?

So can I also join them, and will the ship I am about to build also give birth to such a ship spirit?

At this moment, Frankie suddenly had an urge to go to sea with Luffy and them.
