- luffy , come on ! there is no need to pack that much meat , I have collected much stock of it already ..
- as expected of vice captain Ken shishishishishi... but this is for my snack !
- * facepalm * okay okay .. just jump on the ship already ..
- ken she is called black lion !
- ah.. yes yes ..
these two were obviously luffy and ken who have 17 years old yesterday . the cute system was actually considerative so it made ken the exact same age as luffy. of course ken also came to know about this fact yesterday. the black lion is the large galleon ship on the shore of dawn island . the ship's head is carved an exquisite ferocious black lion which was forced by luffy and ken was given no choice in this matter .
the ship was truly huge and didnt look modern from outlook but the control room told a different story . ken used the brilliant idea of franky from anime and designed the engine to be cola powered. of course due to the sheer size of the ship , the fuel needed was much greater too but this was absolutely no problem for ken . ken had continued to loot many atrocious and bad merchants or businessman in these 2 years so he had too much money with him . to his bad luck ken didnt manage to find any more devil fruits on nearby islands , maybe they were too rare on east blue . but for cola barrels and cash or gold ken had heaps of it .
the ship's main framework consisted of metal and much sea stone too so the ship was sturdy. the nobles were really curious people or whatever so ken unexpectedly managed to collect much sea stone from them . of course ken would not waste this precious material so he carefully cut the sea stone and used it to make the ship parts and engine outline .
ken even purchased expert blacksmith skill from system and crafted an exquisite sword for himself . according to the system Ken's sword was on par or even better than those o wazamono swords . the katana contained condensed sea stone fragments in it which was really a hassle for ken to add .
honestly this sea stone was not indestructible but was not far from it too . even with Ken's strenght , he still had concentrate much sword intent to cut it so it was practically impossible feat for advance level swordsmen. maybe mihawk could do the same too but ken has no way to confirm it right now nor was he interested to know . the sea stone was a versatile ingredient so ken could use it for many things .
the ship's deck was huge so ken made a small garden there . well it was not much of a garden as there was only well trimmed grass plane . the ship had three floors in total under the deck . the swimming pool took most of the second floor so it was very large with an aquarium besides it . the last floor had the docks, storage room and Ken's personal room on it . kitchen was huge on the deck floor with training room besides it .
the rooms for crew to live were too many . ken even made energy canons , paddle system etc but all these things were for future stories . all in all ken diligently used more than a month to complete this ship so it was truly made of his sweat and blood . ken wanted to name it personally but he could not refuse luffy whom he considered a disciple and little brother so he conceded the opportunity to him .
ken hardly interacted with dadan the mountain bandit and her gang so when everybody came to see them off , ken only waved his hand at makino and mayor whom he had interactions with. meanwhile luffy was excited and happily shouted good bye to everyone. ken took the helm and switched the red switch on which was the power button to start the cola engine.
the huge ship started moving slowly and gradually the emotional shouts of the crowd totally faded away while the island could not be seen with naked eye anymore .
- so captain do you like your jolly roger ?
- shishishishishi.. yup ! ken you are a genius painter ..
- ahem ! well I'm just your regular genius ..
the jolly roger on the huge main sail was the same as anime , simple skull mark with straw hat on its head . well they would be called straw hat pirates in the future and ken didnt want to change that ...
- so where do you want to go first?
- shishishishishi.. let's go and recruit that zoro swordsman you told me about ! let's go.....
