Taoist priest, who is so popular in One Piece

Listening to the conversation between Franky and Robin, the Straw Hat Pirates reacted differently.

Bai Ye looked like he had expected this, but he was actually a little surprised.

Zoro and Sanji stood aside and looked quite serious, but they were not prepared to express their opinions.

Merry and Chopper surrounded Robin and asked her questions, as if they wanted to know more secrets.

Robin and Usopp looked at the design drawings in Franky's hand, but finally gave up because they couldn't understand them.

"I don't care about that stuff."

Luffy said irritably while picking his nose:

"Franky, didn't you just say there was a way to shorten the time? What is it?"

To a guy like Luffy, the blank hundred years of history, the relationship between the huge kingdom and the people of Sky Island are all unimportant.

Only the adventures during the journey can arouse his interest.

"Ouch! We are indeed a bit off topic, hahahaha."

Franky laughed first, then said:

"Whether it is upgrading the Merry using the methods of the ancient Water City shipbuilders or repairing and perfecting the [Proverbs], both are quite tedious projects, which will only take a month."

"But, I am extremely smart and came up with a good idea!"

"That is to combine the two tasks and build a pirate ship that can take off!"

“Definitely a super Su~per!!!”

Having said that, Franky once again struck his standard pose.

“Wa ...

Luffy was the first to jump up when he heard Franky's words, his eyes lighting up with a light he had never seen before.

"A pirate ship that can take off?!!! The Merry that can take off!!!"

“It’s definitely super fun!!!”

Luffy was so excited that he even wanted to hug Bai Ye and be happy together, but was suppressed by Bai Ye.

"Can it take off?!!!"

At this moment, the excitement in Merry's eyes was no less than Luffy's, and there was even a hint of longing in it.

"If I could fly into space, I could take everyone to the moon myself!"

Although Meli didn't say anything about everyone's plan to go to the moon on the Proverbs, he still felt a little disappointed in his heart.

After all, starting from Xiluobu Village, he had been the one taking everyone to various places for adventures.

And now, Franky actually said that he could make him fly into the air, so Merry was naturally very excited.

"Hahaha, it looks like the Merry will be renamed the Flying Merry."

Usopp rubbed his nose and looked very happy.

"Oh oh oh! Flying Merry, Flying Merry!" Chopper held Merry's little hand and jumped happily.

Soon, amid the howling of ghosts and wolves, everyone agreed to Franky's plan.

And Franky also asked Bai Ye for help.

If one wants to fuse [Proverbs] and Merry and upgrade them, even if Franky has eaten the Swallow-Swallow Fruit, he can only do so after disassembling them.

However, if he uses Bai Ye's refining technique of [Refining Everything], Franky is fully confident that he can complete this [great] project within half a month.

Bai Ye naturally agreed to Franky's idea. After all, he had already planned to use the refining technique to help Merry fuse a new dragon bone when the Merry was first born.

I just didn't expect that it would become what it is now.

Thinking of this, Bai Ye couldn't help but laugh at himself.

At first, I wanted to have both Merry and the Sunshine, or at least Merry's ship elf with the body of the Sunshine.

But now it seems that we can only say sorry to the Sunshine which died before it was born.

After obtaining Master Tom's research notes and the module assembly technology, he referred to the design drawings left by his master, as well as the design drawings of [Proverbs].

The design drawings that Franky has now do not show any trace of the Sunshine.

Maybe vision determines everything.

After accepting so many advanced concepts, Franky, as a top shipbuilder, naturally had greater ambitions.

At least based on Bai Ye's half-baked theoretical knowledge, the new version of the Merry will definitely bring about a revolution in the ocean.

-

Soon, the ambitious Franky threw himself into the work. Because he had completely transformed himself into a robot, Franky even decided to work all night long without sleeping.

Fortunately, Bai Ye only needs to help for two hours a day, otherwise he would definitely protest against this kind of 007 job.

During this period, in addition to normal rest, the Straw Hat Pirates were also digesting the gains from the previous battle.

Of course, except for Byakuya, who did not take any action at all, the battle on the Judicial Island will not bring much improvement to Luffy, Zoro and Sanji.

But then again, these four guys are growing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

So the focus is still on other people.

As a robot and the user of the Swallow-Swallow Fruit, Franky's strength has no upper limit in a sense. The only thing that can limit him is his vision.

And the shipbuilding process is an improvement for Franky.

As early members of the Straw Hat Pirates, Usopp and Nami's growth in strength is indeed not as good as that of Zoro and Sanji.

Even they themselves have to admit it.

But even so, in certain specific scenarios, Nami, who has the Thunder Fruit and the Weather Stick, and Usopp, who has his own weapons, can still demonstrate strength that is not inferior to Luffy, Byakuya and the other three.

These two people can be described as extremely biased.

In the original work, Robin's strength is still ranked among the best.

But now, Robin's strength can only be described as average.

Barely in the same league as Nami and Usopp.

Because of Robin's previous personality issues, she didn't have much motivation to improve her own strength.

After experiencing the Aokiji and Water Seven incidents, Robin finally decided to work hard to improve her strength.

After all, no matter what, she is the second oldest person on the ship.

In addition to the joint techniques taught by Byakuya, Robin also began to seriously develop his own Hana-Hana Nomi.

Finally, only Chopper and Merry are left.

It is not easy for the former to improve his strength, even though the training intensity has been up to standard since Chopper boarded the ship and Bai Ye has been assisting him.

But one thing you have to know is that Chopper is only less than 16 years old this year. It is really too difficult to let such a little guy who has always regarded himself as a doctor awaken his domineering power.

Fortunately, he developed the [perfect version] of Rambo Ball.

After eating it, Chopper not only greatly improved his physical fitness, but was also able to perfectly master his seven levels of enhancement.

For example, Chopper can use wrist enhancement while maintaining his brain enhancement form.

This makes Chopper feel more at ease when fighting.

In comparison, Merry makes Chopper a little envious. After all, with the Merry as his natal magic weapon, he only needs to wait quietly for the Merry to be successfully upgraded to experience a surge in strength.

Of course, in addition to this, Meli has also been strengthening himself according to the techniques provided by Bai Ye.
