Straw Hat Pirates: A Traveler's Life As A Salted Fish

Chapter 177 Ship Spirit, Melly

"You guessed right."

The magic power was surging, and accompanied by the swiftly blowing wind, Su Chen lightly tapped the deck with the magic wand in his hand and continued: "That special person is the Merry."

This kind of delicate work of stripping the ship's spirit twice is still somewhat difficult without a magic wand.

As his voice fell.

An obvious wave was scattered by the tapped deck, and gradually spread to the entire hull.

"Crack, boom~"

There was a sound of breaking, followed by strong vibrations and fast-moving waves.

Under everyone's horrified gazes, the Meili broke directly from where Su Chen tapped.

"Merry!"

"What did you do!"

Everyone exclaimed and looked at Su Chen in disbelief.

Did this break the Merry into two quarters?

"No...don't blame Su Chen, in fact, as early as when it was in the dock, the Merry failed..."

Usopp stopped the most impulsive Luffy, and said with a sob.

As a normal repairman, he knows best what is going on with the Melly.

Hearing Usopp's words, Luffy gave him a strange look, as if confirming something.

Everyone fell silent after that.

Yes, in fact, the Meili has long since failed. She was sentenced to death by those shipwrights back in the capital of seven waters.

It's just that everyone subconsciously skipped this fact.

I think that with Su Chen around, there will be no accident on the Meili.

"She accompanied us on all sorts of magical adventures from East Blue, upside-down mountain upwells, twin-sipping Laboon's internal adventures, to Prehistoric island Little Garden via whiskey."

Usopp's voice seemed a little hoarse, but he continued to say:

"The hometown of Chopper, Drum Island as Winter Island, and later Alabasta and Sky Island flying to an altitude of 10,000 meters."

"She has experienced too much with us, but I didn't fix her properly."

"She... can no longer accompany us on the voyage... Woooo..."

Beneath Usopp's mask, tears streamed down his cheeks.

Everyone listened to Usopp's words and remembered every bit of their experience with the Merry.

"Su Chen! Quickly fix the Merry!"

"Just like before!"

Luffy couldn't help shouting to Su Chen: "Hurry up! She must be in pain, she is our partner!"

Anxiously, Luffy grabbed Su Chen's collar and shook it vigorously a few times.

"Snapped!"

Slapping Luffy's hand away, Su Chen covered his forehead speechlessly.

These guys are all quick-tempered.

"Don't worry, although it is true that her hull can no longer be repaired, it is not impossible to continue sailing with us."

Su Chen shook his head and motioned them to look at their feet.

In the eyes of everyone shocked.

Roads of azure lines slowly emerged from the very beginning, and a green spirit similar to the one on everyone's arms flew out instantly in everyone's eyes, and circled around them intimately.

It landed on the straw hat on top of Luffy's head.

Fluorescence flickered, she combed the feathers lightly, and stared at everyone with a gentle gaze.

"Wow, what is this... what is this?"

Luffy and the others exclaimed.

Chopper Usopp and the others approached directly, wanting to touch but not daring.

Afraid that she would fly away directly.

"Boat Elf, Franky, you should know."

Looking at Luffy and the others amusedly, Su Chen gently picked up Mei Li and said, "I noticed this amazing spirituality when I was in East Blue, and I have been conceiving her with magic patterns since then."

"When it came to Sky Island, she was already able to manifest easily."

"Remember that automatic repair thing? This little guy did it."

"As long as she is integrated into the new ship, she will continue to sail with us, which is also her dream."

In the eyes of everyone surprised.

The elf of the Merry held her chest high, looking right.

"I didn't expect it to be true. I actually saw the legendary elf with my own eyes!"

Franky's pupils contracted, and he explained in shock: "It is said that ships have feelings just like people, only when everyone on the ship loves her very much and is intimate with her."

"There is an extremely small chance of the birth of the ship elf. I thought it was a legend, but I didn't expect it to exist!"

"It's amazing!"

After listening to Franky's explanation, the guilt in everyone's hearts became more intense.

Luffy, who can't steer, crashes the ship into an iceberg and breaks the sails. Zoro also destroys the deck and the ship's side when fighting with Sanji, although Usopp repairs the ship every time.

But his technique is really bad!

"It's okay, in fact, I have always been very grateful to you for loving me so much."

An ethereal and melodious voice came from above Luffy's head, and the blue bird transformed by Mellie stared at everyone with extra gentle eyes.

"I'm actually very happy. It's such a blessing to continue sailing with everyone!"

Melly's voice was full of joy, comforting everyone who felt guilty.

Luffy and the others looked at each other, a smile gradually appeared on their faces.

That's right, the Merry is not completely dead, she can continue to sail with them.

After figuring this out, everyone wiped away the tears from their eyes and smiled.

"Look! It's the Straw Hat Boys!"

"They're still alive!"

At this time, Bingshan and his party drove the boat and came to the side of the Meili.

"Are you all right?"

Bingshan, who was wrapped in bandages all over his body and in a coat, let out a sigh of relief, "It's really messed up... I am an enemy of the World government, and I really snatched my companion back..."

"As expected of someone who can have her."

"Ah, thank you, Uncle Bingshan, for your help." Luffy grinned, showing a smile on his face.

He turned around and looked at the crowd, and asked in a particularly complicated tone: "Then, everyone should have thought it over."

"Ok!"

"Let us bid farewell to the hull of the Merry!"

Standing atop the lifeboat provided by the iceberg, Luffy holds his torch aloft.

Everyone was behind him, looking at the hull of the Meili with complicated eyes, full of awkwardness in their hearts.

Although the Meili did not completely part with them, it is really unacceptable to personally bury the ship that they have been on.

Luffy paused, touched the ship spirit of the Merry with his hand lightly and said:

"Merry, the bottom of the sea is very dark, and you will be scared if the hull falls, so let us give you a ride."

"Chirp~"

The flames rose and gradually spread to the entire hull, and an azure air flow surrounded everyone.

Seems to herald the end, but also the beginning.

In the flames, the remaining magic patterns and wind elements gushed out, and quickly gathered towards the blue bird transformed by the ship spirit of the Mei Li. During this process, her body gradually became more solid.

Then the light flickered, and a small model of the Merry slowly fell into Luffy's hands.

"Come on, Luffy."

Su Chen smiled, and said to Luffy: "I think we can have a banquet."

"Ok!"

Luffy, holding the model of the Merry, nodded excitedly.

He was so hungry!
