Chapter 700: Back to the Way!
The effect of the bounty increase is almost obvious, but almost all the naval branches responsible for patrolling the route are moved, and the slightest exposure of their whereabouts will be targeted, and the much more intelligent naval warships rely on their large tonnage and long gun range advantages are not pursuing hit accuracy at all, almost adjusting the elevation angle of the bow gun to the highest, stuffing enough gunpowder to play the trick of covering the shooting shells and washing the ground, so that the Golden Merry, which has no superior range, can only desperately dodge in the turbulent waves caused by the explosion of the shells.
That is, thanks to a super navigator on the ship, he can take advantage of the small turn of the ship, use various sea conditions to widen the distance between the pursuers, and seize the opportunity to switch the wind direction to run away quickly, plus Wu Liang and Luffy and a few of them desperately blocked the shells that may fall near the ship, which ensured that the Merry was not seriously injured, compared to the Merry, which sailed so far and was beaten to tatters in the original book, the current condition is much better, All you need to do is find a shipyard to do a thorough maintenance, and then repaint it, and it's a new boat.
Wu Liang is much stronger than Usopp in terms of caring for the ship, and Wu Liang will report to Luffy, who is clumsy and always inadvertently destroys the hull structure, and strictly orders his followers to supervise it together, and the more times he fights, Luffy also cultivates a conditioned reflex, (training pets?) Every time I tossed around, I would subconsciously stop my movements and see if anyone else was present, and even if I didn't notice it, I would lighten the movements at hand, so that over time, it would reduce a lot of trouble for the maintenance of the Merry.
In addition, during the three days of the previous dock in Alabastan, Wu Liang took the opportunity of Kobra's convenient opening, Wu Liang mobilized more than a dozen shipbuilding masters to strengthen the main structure of the Merry, especially the two most vulnerable parts of the keel and the mast and deck of the ship, which were reinforced twice with thick iron sheets.
In this way, I believe that once the ship spirit is cultivated on the Merry, it will not be like in the original book, and it will not be said goodbye soon, even if it can't continue the journey on the great voyage, at least it can be put away by Wu Liang and used to exert its residual heat in other worlds, which is not too wasteful.
Of course, it would be great if all the weapons and equipment on Wu Liang's yacht could be modified to the Merry through Franky's skillful hands, even if ten tons and twenty tons of gold were spent as the cost of transformation, Wu Liang would not feel distressed!
-----------------------------------------------
In the full life of constantly being attacked by naval warships and being troubled by bounty hunters when they go to the island, the new Straw Hat Pirates continue their adventures at sea, especially when they are pursued by the fleet of the Navy Branch, and when they pass through a small island called Lulujia, they break into an unknown rainbow-colored fog, and meet the pumpkin pirates who have not aged for 50 years and have always maintained the face of a young child in the foggy space.
For Wu Liang, the focus of this adventure has never been on bizarre encounters, what he cares about is the huge wealth sleeping in the rainbow-colored fog space, it can be said that Nami has collected all kinds of treasures full of ten treasure chests in Nami's extremely admiring eyes, except for gold coins, gold bricks and various gems that are as easy to get as easy to get in other worlds and will not take up too much space, the remaining more than half of the jewelry, gold and silver utensils are used as public expenses and handed over to Nami for temporary safekeeping, When you get to the big city, you can cash in on the cost of supplies, food and personal items, and even the cost of preparing a new ship, including pocket money for each person per month.
It's been a long time since the Straw Hat Pirates officially set sail to sea, but everyone has never given out pocket money since they got on the ship, and Nami, who is in charge of the money bags on the ship, only pays for necessary expenses such as food and medicine, so in addition to the personal property accumulated before going on the ship, some people have never even had money in their pockets (one of the representatives, Zoro, even borrowed the 100,000 Bailey who bought the knife from Nami!). )。
Although the money has not yet been received, at least there is a hope, with a fixed income to nominally get rid of the life of poverty and vain, Sauron is very excited, when he gets the news, he has eaten up a whole barrel of wine by himself at dinner, and he is drunk all day to let the mountain be cured, and the others are also very happy to hear the news that they have pocket money to receive every month, and the only thing that is uncomfortable is the wealthy navigator on the ship who took the initiative to take care of the accounts.
Even if the treasure was collected by Wu Liang with a vote of followers, and he didn't need to take money from his wallet, Nami still felt very painful, so she didn't eat much for dinner that day, and she pondered for a whole night, so she deducted and searched and set the monthly pocket money for each person at 3,000 Baileys (100 Baileys a day is barely enough to buy a newspaper every day, even if you save all of them, it is only enough to eat street food once or buy a few large glasses of ale!). ), after being protested by everyone (more importantly, Wu Liang threatened to take back the treasure if he didn't increase the amount of pocket money!) Only then did he reluctantly make a compromise, adding a change to the original plan, raising the amount of pocket money from only enough to stuff his teeth to 3,000 baileys a month to at least a few large meals, and finally calmed down the emotions of the crew who had been happy all night after hearing the news, but were poured cold water on them early the next morning, and almost caused a riot.
It's really a headache for the money addict character, even if everyone pays 30,000 Bailey's pocket money per month a month, it is only 5.4 million a year, and the cost of purchasing food, wine, and even gunpowder shells will not exceed 30 million Bailey a year, just with the five and a half boxes and six boxes of gold and silver utensils and jewelry that Wu Liang gave to Nami for safekeeping, no matter how low the black market purchase price is, it is at least enough to maintain the expenses of the entire ship for about ten years, this unique character of miser reincarnation really makes Wu Liang cry and laugh.
For Nami's sake, this is saving money for the big guys instead of wanting to fill their pockets (are you sure?). For the sake of Wu Liang, Wu Liang decided not to worry too much about this door-picking girl, anyway, he still had tens of millions of Baileys in cash in his hand, which was enough to spend a long time without getting too many banknotes in his hand, so as not to exchange them for precious metals and pour them twice when he left!
