Chapter 49: Exploration Day 2: Eight months left. (Bug fix)...
Day 2 of exploration:
Hawkeye hadn't intended for her to pull.
But Wendy only pulled his hand once, and then when she found that she couldn't pull it anymore, she just let go of his hand and ran over.
Hawkeye had no choice but to follow after a moment of silence - because he was worried that Wendy would take out a pickaxe and smash the sea train and get arrested.
When Wendy ran over, she saw someone hammering away with tools to build a car head, and next to him was a person holding a blueprint, frowning and thinking deeply... or perhaps it couldn't be said to be a human - it was a fat yellow fishman.
The fishman also noticed Wendy. Although Wendy was small, her arrogant behavior and undisguised gaze made it hard not to notice.
Although the gap between humans and merfolk has always existed, and there are many humans who discriminate against merfolk and merfolk who hate humans, the merfolk who built the sea train is a resident of the Seven Water City and has adopted a human apprentice. He has always been very friendly to humans.
Therefore, despite being nearly three meters tall, he deliberately squatted down, looked at Wendy, and asked gently, "Little girl, what can I do for you?"
Wendy stared at him for a moment, then suddenly picked up her walking stick and hit it.
The fishman was hit unexpectedly. Although it didn't hurt at all, he felt that this person was not friendly: "..."
Hawkeye followed but didn't approach, wanting to see what Wendy was up to: "..."
Wendy waited a moment longer. Seeing no reaction from the other party, except for a slightly depressed expression, she suddenly realized, "So you're a friendly murloc."
The murloc was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses - was this a test of his friendliness? Could it be that he had encountered an unfriendly murloc before and that was why he had this reaction?
He instantly forgave Wendy's disrespectful behavior, laughed heartily, and said to her in a friendly tone, "There's construction going on here. It's a bit dangerous. It's better for you to stand further away, little girl."
After saying that, he went over and joined the construction team.
Wendy stood there and observed curiously.
Hawkeye approached her at this moment, following her gaze and explaining, "That's Tom, the man in charge of the Sea Train. He's also the builder of Pirate King Roger's ship. He was originally convicted for that, but because he proposed the idea of building the Sea Train, he received a suspended sentence... and you won't be able to easily obtain the maps they created."
"I see..." Wendy nodded in realization, then ran over and called out to Tom, "Hey, Mr. Tom, can you make a blueprint for me?"
Hawkeye: "..." It turns out that it's all in vain.
Tom looked at the little girl who had come back and felt a real headache for a moment.
He squatted down again and spoke to Wendy as if he were coaxing a child: "Little girl, what drawings do you want?"
Wendy thought for a moment and said seriously, "I want all the drawings!"
Tom was silent for a moment, not knowing how to respond.
At this time, two people who were working on the construction site on the other side came over - these two young men were both humans, and both were Tom's disciples.
The young man with purple hair and a white turban was called Iceberg, and the young man with blue hair and goggles on his forehead was called Flamm. Iceberg was dressed normally, in overalls and a black T-shirt, while Flamm was wearing a floral cardigan and briefs, looking quite out of place and even a little perverted.
However, Wendy respects everyone's freedom of clothing. After all, in her concept, merpeople still don't wear clothes. The merpeople in this world actually wear clothes, which is already a very civilized situation.
The two of Tom's disciples came over to see what was going on after seeing Tom being interrupted by the same person for the second time. As soon as they arrived, they heard Wendy's words.
"What blueprints?" Fram looked puzzled. "Are you here to learn how to build a boat from Mr. Tom?"
Bingshan thought so too, but as the eldest disciple, he was more polite than Fram. He smiled at Wendy and said, "Sorry, little girl, we're very busy because we have the task of building a sea train... Do you like sea trains? You can ask your family to take you on a sea train ride. Our Smoking Tom is already in service."
Although they were still under construction, the first sea train, Smoking Tom, had successfully sailed a few months ago. Their vision had been realized, and Tom's guilt was expected to be absolved. The burden on their shoulders felt much lighter. That was why they were unusually patient with Wendy—because they were in a good mood and less anxious.
"I'm going to play with Mihawk later." Wendy remained persistent and continued to reach out to Tom, "Give me the blueprint and I'll leave."
"It's no use getting the blueprints. Do you know how to build a ship?" Fram was more direct than his master and his senior brother. "If you're just playing house, don't bother Mr. Tom."
"I can." Wendy retorted dissatisfiedly, and immediately took out her pancake boat and put it down.
Tom: “…”
iceberg:"……"
Fram: “…”
Hawkeye: "..." She actually brought that ship with her?!
"This is my boat!" Wendy said, proudly putting her hands on her hips and holding her head high. After a moment's thought, she even named it, "Wendy!"
Others: "..." Isn't this just an ordinary raft? So this little girl is called Wendy?
"You... actually kept calling this a boat..." Fram suddenly felt a pang of sadness, and tears suddenly broke out, leaving two wide noodles on his face. He then took out the boat blueprint he had drawn, and handed it to Wendy, "Take this! Find someone to build a real boat! Go for it!"
Wendy looked at him in confusion, unsure why he was crying. However, she did get the dropped blueprints, and she was already happy. After nodding in agreement, she immediately made a backpack for him and said, "Here! This is a thank you gift!"
She was rubbing the backpack because she remembered hearing Doflamingo say it was a best seller when she was with him. So, she thought this would be a good gift. After all, it only required two basic materials: branches and straw.
After rubbing them, she thought for a while, rubbed two more, gave one to Tom and Iceberg respectively, and then looked at them with wide eyes and anticipation.
Iceberg and Tom inexplicably understood this look and gave her a ship blueprint each - after all, they were both shipbuilders and had a lot of ship blueprints in their hands, and this was not confidential... Since she liked shipbuilding, they gave it to her.
And they really couldn't stand the idea of a raft being called a boat.
The two even thought that if Wendy came back with the blueprints and didn't know how to build it, they would take the time to teach her.
Wendy got three drawings at once and was very happy. She said "thank you" and ran to find Hawkeye.
After watching the other party run away, the three masters and apprentices here resumed the work of building the sea train that had just been interrupted.
"I hope that little girl can build her own real boat soon!" Fram said, holding the backpack and weighing it. "She's a very polite little girl... This backpack looks nice too... Hmm?"
He opened the backpack and took a look, a little stunned, noticing the strangeness of the backpack: "This backpack... seems a little strange..."
Upon hearing this, Tom and Bingshan also opened their backpacks to check.
After the master and his two disciples took a look, they were surprised to find the magic of this backpack.
"That little girl...is not simple." Tom sighed.
"Come to think of it... that man following the little girl looks familiar." Bingshan said, lost in thought. After thinking for a while, a look of sudden realization appeared on his face, "Isn't that Hawkeye?"
Because I wasn't wearing a hat, I didn't react at first... But didn't Hawkeye become a Shichibukai? Why did he appear here with a little girl... Could it be that he became a Shichibukai because of that little girl?
***
Hawkeye had no idea that his reputation had been ruined like this without him saying a word.
He watched Wendy come running back and then left with her group, still asking, "Did you get the blueprint you wanted?"
"Yeah! That's right!" Wendy nodded excitedly, selected [Learn] from the blueprint in her backpack, and then three sets of ship production blueprints appeared in her production interface.
She checked and found she needed a lot of planks and gears... Hmm, it looked like she'd have to go chop down some trees when she got back. But this world didn't have the Four Seasons boss, so she couldn't ask Big Bear to help chop down the trees. That felt a bit cumbersome... Should she go get Luffy and the others to help? Oh, and there were a lot of trees on Mount Korpo, too. Let's prioritize chopping down those there! Let's not touch the trees back home yet!
Wendy made up her mind and was satisfied.
As for the gears... Uncertainty Terminal had burned down, so she couldn't pick up any trash. Who knew where the clockwork monsters in this world were... Never mind, there was always a way! Since they were needed for ship construction, wouldn't they drop when dismantling other ships? Ah, so it looked like there were planks too? — Wendy had a feasible, but equally punishing, idea in her mind.
However, shipbuilding is something they will do after they return. Now they are still touring the Seven Water City.
Wendy was walking when she suddenly cried out, stopped, and took off her hat.
Hawkeye, who was walking in front, paused and looked back at her: "What's wrong?"
Wendy looked at the hat in her backpack, which showed only 16% durability left, and felt unhappy. Mihawk's hat was very useful, but it wore out too quickly... and this one couldn't be repaired with a kit...
It would be nice if it were a permanent item like the dragon's cloak! — Wendy sighed, feeling somewhat regretful.
It's okay. When the next mod download cooldown is over, the things Mihawk gave her should last longer! ——Thinking of this, Wendy became happy again and raised her head to Hawkeye and said seriously, "There are still eight months left."
Hawkeye looked down, somewhat confused: "Huh?"
Wendy gave the full preview with a serious expression, "There are still eight months until Mihawk and I get married."
Hawkeye: “…”
...No, wait! Setting aside the jumpiness of this topic...when did this happen? How come he doesn't know?!
-----------------------
The author has something to say: At least the parties involved were notified of this marriage [狗头]
Everyone guessed the Pluto blueprint, but there's no way to get it so quickly [rookie]
As for conquering the world... the world originally belongs to the players, so why should we conquer it? [Sunglasses]
PS: Deep water has arrived again... There will be an additional update tomorrow morning!
