Chapter 30 Departure

Following Meli's introduction, Bai Ye also walked to every corner of the ship.

Finally arrived at the keel.

As the most critical part of a ship, Meli naturally used the best materials in the design and also took a lot of protective measures.

But Bai Ye still prepared a double insurance. After all, once the keel was damaged to a certain extent, no matter how much money was spent, no matter how good the materials were, no matter how good the boatmen were, he would inevitably have to replace the boat.

With a flip of his wrist, several talismans that had been made long ago appeared in Bai Ye's hand.

These talismans also have the effects of reinforcement and protection.

Bai Ye just clapped his hands and the talisman was stuck on the dragon bones. Then the yellow paper began to burn out of thin air and soon dissipated into the air.

The patterns on the talisman were also left on the dragon bone. Faintly, one could see a light golden light protecting the entire dragon bone.

"It seems that Mr. Bai Ye values this ship very much."

Meli was amazed at Bai Ye's methods, and then said with some relief.

"It's natural,"

Bai Ye looked at the ship in front of him with a smile in his eyes and said softly:

"This is the ship that will carry the future Pirate King, destined to leave his name in the world."

Not sure what he remembered, Bai Ye's smile became even more intense:

"He is also a very important member of our pirate group~"

When Meli heard Bai Ye's words, he seemed to have a slight illusion in a trance.

The ship under his feet seemed to have let out a soft laugh just a moment ago.

Some even swayed with joy~

As if, there is life~

Of course, Meli soon thought that he was hallucinating and the shaking was probably due to the sudden increase in the sea breeze.

How could a ship have a living consciousness?

Ship elves and the like are just legends.

The day of departure finally arrived.

Luffy and the other three stood at the bow, quietly waiting for the arrival of the last person.

"Isn't that Usopp guy afraid to come?"

Nami said doubtfully.

"After all, he has lived in this village since he was a child, so he should say goodbye."

Bai Ye shook his head slightly and spoke softly.

Somewhere on the island, there is a secret base with a pirate flag flying.

Usopp, Onionhead and the other two stood looking at each other.

"You all know, I'm going to sea as a pirate."

Usopp choked up a bit, but still smiled and spoke to the three of them.

"Captain Usopp~"

The three of them already had tears on their faces. They recalled the scene when they first met Usopp, and couldn't help but feel sad.

"Hey Hey hey!!!"

Usopp couldn't help himself when he saw the looks on their faces.

But he still cried and shouted to several people:

"I! I finally made up my mind to pursue my dream! Shouldn't you be happy for me? Why are you crying!!!"

"tell me!!!"

"What are your ambitions!!! Say it out loud!!!"

Finally, Usopp yelled at the few people with almost all his strength.

“I’m going to run an awesome pub!!!”

“I want to be a first-rate carpenter!!!”

“I want to be a great novelist!!!”

The three wiped the tears from their faces and responded to their captain with even louder voices.

"So!!!"

Usopp had an expectant look on his face:

“Work hard towards your ambitions!!!”

Then, he raised the pirate flag behind him, waved it fiercely, and shouted towards the sky:

"I declare!!!"

"Usopp Pirates!!!"

“Disbanded!!!”

"Captain Usopp!!!"

"Usopp, you are so slow~"

In front of the Merry, Bai Ye said as he looked at Usopp who was carrying a large package.

"Hahahaha, I'm a little slow in packing."

Usopp rubbed his nose with his fingers and said cheerfully.

"Speaking of which, I should be the captain!!!"

"You must be kidding, the captain is of course me!!!"

"Ha ha ha ha."

Amidst laughter, Usopp boarded the ship.

The Merry is ready to sail!!!

But in fact, everyone on the boat saw Usopp's red and swollen eyes, but they all tacitly didn't say much.

Of course, that guy Luffy might have simply not noticed.

And he was just irritated by Usopp's words about wanting to be the captain.

Bai Ye just patted Usopp on the shoulder and said:

"After you complete your own voyage, remember to come back~"

Usopp lowered his head, trying to suppress his tears, and nodded heavily:

"Ok!"

This is the price of becoming a pirate, destined to leave your hometown, friends and loved ones.

Even the person you love the most!

Under a big tree, Kaya, who has recovered her health, is looking at the pirate ship that has started to move, her eyes full of reluctance and anticipation.

"Miss, if that's the case, why don't you keep Usopp?"

Merry stood aside and asked in confusion.

Kaya didn't look back, but just looked at Usopp who was fighting with everyone on the boat, and said softly:

"Why should I stop a man from running to the sea?"

"Usopp's dream is to become a brave sea warrior!"

"and,"

Kaya turned around, and Meli saw that Kaya's cheeks were already covered with tear marks.

"I also want to hear Usopp's story during the voyage~"

Meli remained silent and just stayed quietly by the young lady's side.

"Merry~"

"Miss?"

"I want to learn medical skills. Mr. Bai Ye gave me some medical knowledge before he left, and I want to learn them."
