119: Chapter 118: The technology that allowed the Merry to evolve again and Robin's signal"Are we just going to let it go like this?Rob Lucci, our mission."
Khalifa gritted her teeth as she left the venue in disgrace.
Lu Qi said with a cold face:
"Shut up, Khalifa.These are orders from above!"
Kalifa said angrily:
"But that Shichibukai Monkey D.Luffy has contacted Tom's apprentice.Could that information be."
Lu Qi snorted:
"Even if he really leaked it, so what?Now that [Strongest Shichibukai] is highly respected by the navy, and the higher-ups are also very supportive of them in taking down the Golden Lion!
We have no evidence!If we rashly go against them, we'll be the only ones to die!If the higher-ups put us on the same level as someone touted as one of the "Strongest Seven Warlords of the Sea," do you think they'd give up such a powerful pawn?"
Bruno said in a muffled voice:
"We can't just let it go like this!Didn't that group recruit Nico Robin, the 'Devil Child', as a member?Maybe we can make something of it!"
Kaku also echoed:
"Our job is to eliminate threats from above!"
Lu Qi nodded:
"I'll ask my superiors about this matter first!"

After the meeting, the Straw Hat Pirates followed Mayor Iceberg to his office.
"It's simply impossible to upgrade or replace an existing ship with an upgraded one using current technology.It would be better to just replace it with a new one."
Mayor Bingshan sat at his desk and said in a deep voice.
Luffy laughed and interrupted Iceberg:
"Mr.Iceberg, before you jump to conclusions, why don't you listen to what conditions our Golden Merry currently possesses?
First of all, the Golden Merry has already undergone an autonomous evolution and upgrade, which is easy to verify."
Bingshan became interested after hearing this:
"Oh?Autonomous!Evolution and upgrade?How did you do that?"
Luffy laughed:
"This brings us to our ship spirit.It's a uniquely gifted being.We helped it to be born safely, allowing it to consume the [Parahuman Swallow Swallow Fruit].As a result, the ship spirit has a physical form and can move freely.
So, Mayor Iceberg, what you say is impossible is completely achievable on our ship."
Bingshan was so shocked that he almost fell off his chair:
"What?Feeding the ship elves devil fruits?The fact that the ship elves were born because of you is outrageous enough, but the ship elves can actually eat devil fruits.You guys are really out of your mind!"
Barry and Franky on the side were also dumbfounded.This was simply impossible!
"Super!I'm really becoming more and more interested in you guys."
Franky posed.
Robin stroked the photo on the desk and smiled:
"Hmm~ What an interesting man!"
Bingshan's mouth was dry and he continued:
"Today's ship construction is mostly centered around the keel, which also determines the ship's upper limit.It's what shipbuilders often say, 'Replacing the keel is like rebuilding the ship.' You."
Luffy responded:
"Don't worry, our ship spirit [Merry] can do things that ordinary people can't imagine!And [Pluto Blueprint] itself has such technology!We can definitely apply [Pluto Blueprint] to the Merry!"
Franky was very excited:
"Super!It's so super!"
Veins popped out on Bingshan's forehead: "Don't interrupt!"
"Oh, sorry," Bingshan wiped the sweat off his face and continued:
"The Pluto blueprints do have this technology.Are you sure you want to do this?I haven't seen it, but it's said that the Pluto blueprints contain technology that's ahead of its time!"
"I'm sure, Mr.Iceberg!"
Luffy was very sure.
Iceberg nodded and said, "Then let Franky help improve your ship!Barry and I will go and take a look too."
The Straw Hat Pirates brought the excited Franky, Iceberg and Mr.Barry to the port, boarded the ship to visit the Golden Merry, and everyone also met Merry.
"Hello!I am [Merry], the ship spirit of the Golden Merry.Welcome."
Mary came bounding up to him.
"Unbelievable!It's truly unbelievable!It's a truly materialized ship spirit!This ship has truly been upgraded!"
Barry was shocked and looked around.
Iceberg touched Mary curiously, and Mary smiled back.
"Super!" Franky put his arms together and posed:
"That's so touching!You really take good care of this ship!In my opinion, even if it's not upgraded again, it's still capable of sailing to the New World!"
On the Merry, Franky was like a weirdo, crawling around everywhere.
If an outsider saw Franky at this moment, they would only think that a pervert had entered the ship.
Although the Straw Hat Pirates were speechless about Franky's strange behavior, when they thought that this might be the shipbuilder that Captain Luffy had chosen, they suddenly felt that it was very reasonable.
After all, even in the original work, you can't join the Straw Hat Pirates if you're not different.
However, Frankie now has a knot in his heart.He believes that it was the boat he built that caused Mr.Tom's death, and he has been feeling guilty.Therefore, if Frankie's knot is not untied, he cannot be invited to board the boat.
But this did not affect Franky's love for ship machinery.He was now extremely excited and took on the responsibility of improving the Golden Merry.Merry also began to help.
Franky is ready to fight:
"With the help of the ship elves, it will take about three days from now to improve this ship!I will help you build a ship that surpasses the [Auro Jackson]!"
I will use the technology in the Pluto blueprint, adding a soldier docking system, air lubrication technology, power system energy-saving technology, energy management and utilization technology, ship control automation technology, etc.to the Merry, making the Merry an unprecedented ship!"
Meili's eyes were full of stars: "Yeah!Yeah!"
Luffy and his companions looked at each other and smiled knowingly:
"Then I'll leave it to you, Franky!"
Franky struck an extremely shameful pose:
"super!"
After finishing the discussion about the evolution of Merry, the Straw Hat Pirates decided to go back to the hotel to rest and go out shopping at night!
…
Under the starry night sky, Robin and Chopper walked among the bustling crowd, admiring the beautiful scenery around them.
Chopper was also excited when he saw the brightly lit library:
"Robin!I'm going there to buy some medical books!"
Robin smiled and said, "Of course!I'll come too!"
Chopper entered the library first and started looking for books of interest.
When Robin was about to take a step, his Observation Haki suddenly moved, sensing that two masked men were suddenly approaching him, and he also smiled:
"You are.CP0!Why, what can I do for you?"
CP0 was stunned, not expecting to be preempted, but he still spoke in a hoarse voice:
"Nicole Robin, you are the [Devil's Child], the sole survivor of O'Hara, and the world needs you gone!"
Robin showed an intriguing smile:
"Oh?So you're planning to provoke one of the strongest of the Shichibukai?I'm curious, who gave you the power, who gave you the courage?"
Lucci flashed in from the side:
"The order from the higher-ups is that as long as Nico Robin disappears quietly, there will be no problem."
Robin laughed, and she laughed happily:
"Oh~ This is a rare genius in the CP organization!Do you think he can do it?"
CP0 said:
"We have received permission from General Aokiji to launch the Demon Slayer Order.I'm sure you're familiar with this!"
Robin looked at the CP members with interest:
"You got the order from the higher-ups, those two idiots Spandam and his son?They can even order you around!You got the demon-slaying order from Aokiji?Don't make me laugh, you can't get it."
Robin was extremely confident, and the CP members' expressions looked a little ugly under their masks.
"Well, whatever, I'll just go with you to Judicial Island.You don't have the guts to fight here, do you?"
Robin suddenly spoke up.
The members of the CP organization were ready to take action, but they didn't expect Robin to do this suddenly.
"Come on, cuff me.I'll go with you."
Robin smiled and quietly crushed the signal tool that Luffy had given her a long time ago.
"Why?"
CP0 was quite surprised.
"No reason.Didn't you all think I was a demon?Demons should be eliminated."
Robin deadpanned.
Kalifa appeared and put handcuffs and a cloak on Robin.The group took Robin onto a judicial ship in the harbor.Chopper entered the library as if he was unaware of the whole process.
As they were setting sail, Robin suddenly said:
"Friendly reminder to those in the CP department.You may pay an unimaginable price for what you did today."
CP0 snorted coldly:
"This is your one-way ticket to death!"
Robin smiled and said, indeed.
The boat set sail.
Heading towards Judicial Island.
