048. The Water Capital of Shipbuilding Holy Land
Driving the Going Merry, the Straw Hat Pirates embarked on a new journey.
This time, the food was not finished, and the island was reached by the permanent pointer.
Not sure if it's an island, because where Going Merry docks, it's a platform.
Everyone looked at each other with confusion on their faces.
If they saw such a platform on land, they would have no problem.
But this is above the sea on the Grand Line.
Is it possible that there are still trains that can travel at sea?
In fact, there really is.
In the distance, there was a smoke that was making a big curve and adjusted its direction towards the platform.
At the same time, there was a sharp whistle.
"Wow, there really is a sea train!"
Soon, a not very long train appeared.
It really gallops at sea.
In the blink of an eye, the train came to a steady stop on the platform.
"Oh, it's really rare, so many people came to this platform, little handsome guy, little beauty, are you going to the Water Capital?"
The head of an old woman stuck out from the front window, wearing a captain's hat and holding a large bottle of wine in her hand.
"Water Capital, what is that place?"
Other than Robin, it was the first time anyone else had heard of this place.
So Robin made a simple explanation.
"The water capital is the most famous shipbuilding mecca on the Grand Line, with the best boat builders and repairers."
"Oh, that's great, we're missing a boatman.
Luffy said excitedly.
"Indeed, every time Going Merry is damaged, I can only tinker with it, and this is not the way to go."
Usopp nodded.
"In this case, let's go to the water capital, it must be very lively there, and the things we bring will be easier to sell. 99
Nami felt a little relieved when she thought that she could finally unload her burden.
"I want to buy wine" "."
"I want to buy medical books."
Zoro and Chopper raised their hands simultaneously.
Wayne and Robin didn't have any special needs, so they didn't speak, just shrugged.
"Let's go then.
"Okay, then you tie the boat behind the Smoky Sam, and I'll take your boat to the Water Capital by the way.
"Well, thank you, old lady."
"You're welcome, by the way, don't call me an old woman, that sounds too old, how could you call a beautiful woman like that, my name is Cocolo, you can call me Cocolo directly, or you can call me Ms. Cocolo. 99
Because this old woman is very talkative and looks good, Nami took the initiative to take out a pair of gold earrings and gave her a pair of earrings, which was regarded as the cost of the car by the way.
After getting on the train, the Straw Hat Pirates found that there were no other passengers on the train.
Aside from Ms. Cocolo, there are only her granddaughter Timney and pet Kumbe.
Although in Cocoro and Timney's mouth, Kumbe is a cat.
But how can the Straw Hat Pirates see that Kunbei is a rabbit.
Of course, it doesn't matter.
When everyone took the Smokey Tom to the territorial waters of the Water Capital, a unique, even dreamy sea city appeared in everyone's eyes.
"Is this the water capital? This is too spectacular. 99
Usopp exclaimed.
Others also expressed their sincere admiration.
After all, the structure of the Capital of Water is indeed ingenious and shocking.
The water capital is different from other islands. Its interior is completely connected to the sea. The water channels divide the city into several parts, and the source of the water channels is the super fountain in the high-rise area in the center.
When the Adventure Tom arrived at the station of the Water Capital, Granny Coco also specially sent a letter of introduction to the Straw Hat Pirates, asking them to find Mr. Iceberg.
However, as soon as they arrived at the gate of the Water Capital, the Straw Hat Pirates encountered a big problem.
Because the water capital is a city under the jurisdiction of the World government.
Therefore, the pirate ship is not allowed to enter, and only people can enter it. The maintenance workers of the shipyard are invited to come out to repair.
In desperation, the Straw Hat Pirates could only find a relatively safe place to park Going Merry.
After some negotiation, Zoro, who had no shopping needs, was left to guard the boat. Anyway, Sanji could also add the wine he asked for when he went to buy ingredients.
Lightly packed, everyone entered the water capital together.
"It's interesting, you see, those who sell goods are all on the boat."
Chopper looked left and right, and it was very interesting to see everything.
"These houses are also built on water.
Luffy rubbed his chin in thought.
The others flashed to Luffy at the same time, punching Luffy on the back of the head.
"Idiot, how could it be possible to build a house on water! 35
"I think there should be an island below, but it has been submerged by the sea, so it feels like the house is floating on the water.
Nami stuck his head out of the aisle and looked under the water.
"`, This little girl is really smart, yes, our water capital was originally just a small island, and then the sea level gradually rose and submerged the island. The predecessors of the shipyard taught the residents of our island the technology of waterproof construction, So our house gradually became taller as the water rose. Later, we simply set up a river channel instead of a walkway, which has become what it is now.”
"It turns out that this is the case, that senior is really a powerful person."
Everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates was in awe.
Even Wayne, who has seen the works of various great architects in his previous life, can't help but admire this unrestrained and creative shipbuilder.
"By the way, it's your first time here. I'm the owner of a beef fish shop. If you want to go to the inner city, maybe you need to rent a few beef fish.
"Cowfish? What is that?"
Luffy wondered.
(Zhao Qian Zhao)
"Look over there, the animals in front of the boats in the fences by the river are called cattle fish, but in the capital of water, when we talk about cattle fish, we generally refer to the boats pulled by cattle fish. According to cattle fish and The size of the hull is different, and it is divided into calf fish and big ox fish."
The boss explained.
"They're so cute, apart from their size, what's the difference?"
asked Robin.
"The difference, how can I say it, the calf fish is generally faster because of its light load, and it can travel in all the rivers in the city, but it can only take two people at a time. The big ox fish is not so fast. Moreover, you can only go through main rivers and commercial areas, and many small tributaries are inaccessible, but there is absolutely no problem in taking a dozen or so people.”
The boss said it in great detail, and the Straw Hat Pirates quickly had a full understanding of the cowfish.
So they began to discuss how to allocate staff.
