Samwell Island, the pier.
In the local magistrates parade to send off, Galen, Nami, Wallace and Terry day together embarked on the sea ship belongs to them.
Or rather, from now on belong to their sea ship.
The original owner of this ship is the Steel Blade Pirates, which also hangs a pirate flag of the Steel Blade Pirates - two crossed swords, a not very scary skull, the composition design is extremely banal.
Galen is not a pirate, more not interested in being a pirate, so the first thing he did on board was to remove the ugly pirate flag.
In the case of the steel sword himself are in the box home, the pirate ship naturally became the spoils of war at the mercy of Galen.
And Galen himself is not satisfied with this ship: the style of ordinary two-masted sail power.
The style of ordinary two-masted sail-powered wooden ship, old canvas stained with a large black and yellow stains, and the deck that has not been cleaned and maintained for years was also corroded by the seawater is unsightly.
And in addition to the sanitary legacy of the Steel Blade Pirates, the ship also looks extremely dilapidated: the
A mast is obviously blown off by external forces to take the steel plate nails temporary rough repair up the scrap, and the deck and the hull there are several with scorched black burn marks of the large hole, the gap in its diameter is so large that it can be a huge size of the Thai day are stuck in.
Apparently the Steel Blade Pirates had a fierce gun battle with some enemy before, and did not have time to repair completely rushed to Samwell Island to hunt down Nami who stole their treasures.
The previous owner's maintenance is not in place, which makes the takeover of the second-hand ship Galen feel very headache.
"Can't we just change the search ship?"
Galen couldn't help but say to Nami.
"This ship is also too broken, I suspect that it will sink to the bottom of the sea when it sails out..."
"Do not worry!"
Nami said unconcernedly.
"It is only the upper deck and port hull damage, the mast, sails, rudder, watertight hull are no big deal, used for sea navigation absolutely no problem!"
"And ah..."
Nami said two gold shiny Bailey symbols emerged from his eyes.
"Double-layer gun deck, extra-long keel, spacious interior cabin..."
"This kind of medium-sized armed sea ship a little refurbishment, and then sold out will be another big income ah!"
"I see..."
Galen also brightened up.
"This way, my income will be more than 10 million Bailey!"
Galen pronounced the word "I" very heavily.
"How dare you want to take it all for yourself? Obviously I also have a share!"
Nami's face was instantly gloomy.
"Although attracting monsters can barely be considered a contribution..."
"But, I don't have to share 50/50 with the temp lady who owes me a life..."
Galen said indifferently, the city folk's money-keeping instincts are unmistakable: "Why don't we wait until we get to Rogues?
"Why don't we wait until we get to Logtown, and you try to see if you can steal the boat along with the money?"
"Humph!"
Nami was squeezed to blush slightly, had to respond to Galen with a light hum that had no killing power.
As a little thief cat who has always been comfortable in the task, Nami is the first time to experience the feeling called "embarrassment".
Because this time the "mission" is also different from the past.
The tin can in front of him not only clearly knows that he is a thief, but also vaguely knows his own background experience.
Be revealed, but a thief's big taboo. Faced with this situation, the best solution is the first time to go far away.
But Nami is not willing to leave here.
Not only because of the possible 10 million Bailey, but also because...
Nami met for the first time a fool who knew she was a thief and wanted to help her...
It is also the first time to get rid of the identity of a thief, received a job called a mariner.
Voyager, not a little thief cat.
This is Nami's dream.
In just one day, she felt a long-lost good.
Thinking of this, the corners of Nami's mouth will unconsciously open a warm arc.
Then, Galen very foully interrupted Nami's thoughts with a joke:.
"Nami, if you want to share the money..."
"It's not a bad choice to just come and become a knight lady."
"Fuck off!"
Nami's smile that had not yet blossomed instantly froze on her face.
"A knight's wife? Is this a marriage proposal?"
Wallace, however, brightened up, and slightly excitedly muttered to himself.
"So Lord Galen and Nami-sama's relationship has developed to this extent?"
Wallace pushed the frame on the bridge of his nose, then again from his arms out of the pen and paper silently record up.
Nami quietly came over to take a look, only to see that the previous "beautiful thief abandoned the darkness to the light" storyline, has been Wallace again perfected into the justice knight and the villainous thief bizarre twists and turns of the love story.
"Hey!"
Nami clenched her fist in annoyance.
"Cut this out for me! Or I'll..."
Before the threat could be uttered, Wallace responded without changing his face.
"As a journalist, I will not give up reporting the truth because of power!"
"Where's the truth in that?!"
Nami asked with a red face.
Wallace's expression remained calm.
"Proper plot highlighting can increase the readability of news reports."
"This is just a basic writing skill that a writer needs to master."
Nami was already too angry to say anything.
Wallace, on the other hand, after writing this paragraph, then seriously review the manuscript in his hands, not at all disturbed by Nami's anger.
After a long time, Wallace sobered up from concentrating on his work and asked with some concern again.
"Miss Nami, which route are we taking this time?"
"How many days will it take to reach Log town?"
Galen killed the ten million level of sea pirates steel sword, which in the weakest sea East Sea is already considered to be able to catch people's eyes of the big news.
The East China Sea Journal, which Wallace works for, is a local newspaper published specifically for the East China Sea region.
As an ambitious expatriate reporter, Wallace already got big news now only want to return to the newspaper as soon as possible, with his own discovery of the "Knight of Justice Galen" fresh story to prove his ability as a journalist.
In the end is a professional mariner, Nami as soon as asked a question in this regard will not think twice to answer.
"This time I am going to sail along the route near the windless zone, just so I can take advantage of the natural power of the currents around the East China Sea."
"Take this route we can reach Rogetown in two days, than by passenger ship to save a full double the time."
"Using the East China Sea circulating current near the windless zone?"
Familiar with the customs of the East China Sea, Wallace is immediately heard the hidden mystery behind this, he could not help but exclaim.
"It seems that Miss Nami in navigation attainment is not shallow ah!"
This route is close to the windless zone, where the wind is treacherous and changeable, the weather changes a lot, the sea ship will be a little carelessly pushed by the wind and waves to the windless zone of death to feed the Neptune class.
Without extremely profound knowledge of meteorology and oceanography as a foundation, ordinary navigators simply do not dare to risk taking a fleet of ships along that route.
"That's for sure!"
"I am the best navigator in the East Sea!"
Nami-sama accepted Wallace's praise without any humility.
"Excellent!"
Wallace also said joyfully.
"News is time-sensitive."
"With a strong navigator like Nami-sama navigating, I'll be able to publish Knight-sama's heroic deeds as soon as possible!"
The mouth said so, Wallace and pulled out a pen and paper, to Nami-san "by the knight of justice, and the knight fell in love at first sight beautiful thief" persona, and added a "genius mariner" persona.
Wallace could not help but murmur with some excitement.
"Powerful knight of justice and beauty and wisdom of the beautiful thief, this news is very sellable ah ..."
"Wait..."
Nami finally slowed down to.
"You said to... What was it that was published?!"
Nami's pinkish-white cheeks flushed a deep crimson with shame, and a clenched fist slowly approached Wallace's immaculate gold-rimmed glasses: "That kind of nonsense.
"That kind of nonsense, you still want to be in the newspaper?
"Messy stuff?"
Wallace calmly pushed the frame and said again in a flat tone.
"I am a professional journalist, so naturally I will write a true and perfect report based on first-hand information."
"So, I have a few more questions I'd like to interview Miss Nami in person..."
"Bah!"
Nami disdainfully tilted her head: "I'm not going to answer..."
The remaining half of the words suddenly stuck in the throat.
Because a cheque with a long string of numbers written on it was dangling in front of Nami.
"This is the cost of the interview, you can exchange it for cash at the East Coast Bank in Rogetown."
Wallace said without changing his face.
"Of course, if there's really no story worth reporting between Nami-sama and Lord Galen..."
"I won't force it either."
"Well..."
Nami hesitated for a moment, and a lovely smile immediately bloomed on her face:.
"There there there there..."
Nami took the cheque without a word and hid it in the "quadratic pocket" on her chest with a swift movement.
"Whatever story you want, there is a story."
