"Title Page Serial·Straw Hat Chapter 11·"Princess of the Ancient Desert Country""

"In the capital of Alabasta, ever since the old king fell into a coma because of the death of William Shichibukai, Crown Prince Cobb has been on the throne for two years and has been temporarily acting as state minister. Affairs have been handled in an orderly manner and corruption has been greatly improved. , the country becomes more prosperous and prosperous”

"And Kobra, who worked so hard, paid a heavy price for his hairline. Before he was thirty, he was almost half bald. He often looked in the mirror in the morning and was distressed by this."

"But something is different today. Cobra never stopped smiling and even hummed a tune. The reason? Of course, his beloved wife is finally pregnant. I hope he is a cute and sensible boy..."

————————

For a while.

Not to mention the entrance to the hotel, even the three nearby streets were blocked with traffic, and they were all full of heads as far as the eye could see.

Cardo, the fat owner of the hotel, was still worried about the lost business yesterday, but now he is stunned by this excessive and terrible popularity.

He stopped at the door of the hotel and tried his best to prevent people from rushing in and disturbing Lieutenant General Nosha's rest.

such a pity……

He could not resist the enthusiasm of the people at all. In the end, he had no choice but to compromise, elect a group of representatives, and follow him in to see Lieutenant General Noxia.

The selected person smiled happily and followed the fat boss Cardo to the corridor on the second floor with carefully prepared gifts. He wanted to quietly surprise Mr. Noxia after knocking on the door.

However.

When they arrived at the door, Cardo and the others were shocked to find that the door that should have been closed was actually open.

Looking inside, it was empty. Where was Nuo Xia and others?

————————

"It's finally sunny."

At a pier in the south of the city, Nuo Xia lay leisurely on a wicker chair on the deck, squinting at the sunlight leaking from the clouds, "How are you, Bellemere, is the inside of the cabin seriously damaged?"

"It's okay, much better than expected."

Bellemere's voice came from inside, "The overhaul has been completed, and it will not affect the voyage. Compared to this..." Suddenly the cabin door was pushed open, and she walked out and muttered with a grimace, "As expected, I still care more, and I didn't take it. The check-out deposit comes back..."

The deposit is a full fifty thousand beli, which is a lot of money!

"There is no other way. Whoever lets the news leak out can only sneak away first."

Taotu, who was responsible for checking the storage room, also came out, and served everyone a glass of juice with a smile, "If you go downstairs to check out, it won't be that easy to leave. If you are left, I guess you have to at least participate. Three days and three nights of banquet.”

"really."

Nuo Xia took a sip of orange juice and crossed her legs contentedly, "I hate the excitement the most. Anyway, it's good that my hard work was not in vain. There was no one to see me off, which was a bit weird..."

"Who said there's no one to see you off?" Taotu's voice suddenly sounded again, "Well, it's right over there."

Um?

Nuo Xia turned around subconsciously and was stunned. He saw a fat figure running towards the beach on the east side, waving vigorously from time to time, hoping that people on the boat would notice him.

Isn't this Tom the Fishman?

Nuo Xia raised his eyebrows. After thinking for a while, he signaled to Shia, who was about to leave, to stop temporarily. The ship slowly turned around and waited quietly.

Not long after, Fishman Tom finally ran to the front of the boat.

"No...Mr. Noxia..."

After getting on the boat, the old man was still out of breath and his face was a little pale. He had obviously run all the way from a very far away place and was afraid that he would be delayed even for a second.

Nuo Xia quickly picked him up on the boat, poured a glass of juice and handed it over: "If you have anything to say, please tell me slowly. There's no need to be in a hurry, Uncle Tom."

Tom, who had just taken a sip of juice, was startled and almost choked, "You...you know me?"

"Of course, I have heard about the world-famous master shipbuilder Murloc Tom."

Nuo Xia said meaningfully, "I originally made a special trip to visit you the day before yesterday, but unfortunately your apprentice told me that you went overseas to purchase materials and were not at home."

Tom suddenly blushed.

"It's all my fault. I was too wary and thought that Mr. Nosha was that kind of person." He put down the glass and sighed, "I didn't expect... Oh, I'm so ashamed..."

"There is nothing to be ashamed of. You must be on guard against others." Nuo Xia smiled nonchalantly, "We have never met before, so it is understandable to do so."

Tom smiled wryly and shook his head.

Then, as if he had decided something, he suddenly stood up, knelt down to Nuo Xia, and knocked his forehead heavily.

"Uncle Tom, what are you doing?"

Nuo Xia was immediately startled, and quickly stood up and tried to pull Tom up. The old man was quite old, even older than Garp, and he couldn't bear this bow.

The old man refused to get up and kowtowed twice. Then he finally stood up with Nuo Xia's help and said with great seriousness:

"This first tip is to thank Mr. Nuo Xia for saving the lives of my two idiot apprentices, Bingshan and Franky."

"The second one is to thank Mr. Nosha and all the ladies for their hard work this day and night." Tom turned his head slightly and said half to Taotu and others, "I saved my hometown. Countless people were spared.”

"That's a bit exaggerated, uncle." Nuo Xia smiled and spread his hands, "We are the navy. Even if we are on vacation, this is what we should do."

"There's never any personal responsibility."

Tom shook his head, "Just like the old man who deceived and maliciously speculated beforehand cannot accept this kindness with peace of mind..."

He took a deep breath and spoke solemnly: "Although I can't repay Mr. Nuo Xia's kindness at this level, I really feel uneasy if I don't do something..."

"So, please allow Mr. Nuo Xia to allow me to use my meager shipbuilding skills to build you the most powerful ship in the world!"

It's so sudden, and why does this old man have such a loud tone...

The women next to them looked at each other in confusion. Taotu looked at Tom in surprise, "The most powerful... warship in the world?"

"Yes, the strongest in the world!"

When he talked about the areas he was most proud of, the old man's voice was full of confidence. He straightened his chest and his eyes were bright:

"Just like what that stupid brat Frame said, the garbage produced by Helena Company is not worthy of Mr. Nosha! I guarantee that as long as Mr. Nosha agrees, this work will surpass Roger Pirates That one is the most powerful warship in absolute terms!”

Nuo Xia was slightly stunned, looking at Tom with a determined look on his face, and said nothing.

He could see that Tom was a very pure master of shipbuilding, and just as the purpose of this trip was also extremely pure, the old man did not take the offending charges that Franky cared about most seriously at all.

This old man just wants to use what he has learned throughout his life to repay his kindness...
