Mumu fruit among pirates

Chapter 189 Chapter 188

188
"It turns out that the Merry has been injured so badly..." Luffy and Nami felt extremely heavy.

Of course they didn't want to believe that there was no hope of saving the Meili... But, the reality was like this, so they couldn't help but believe it.

Carrera Shipbuilding Factory, they are a well-known shipbuilding company throughout the Great Sea Route, at least in terms of "shipbuilding and ship repairing", almost no one else is more professional than them.

Moreover, the guy with the square nose who went to see the situation of the Merry before was even the head carpenter of the Calella Company.

In terms of professionalism, it is almost impossible to overthrow the "diagnosis" they made with the Merry.

After all, the ships they built, crafted and destroyed, it is really possible that there are more ships than Luffy and the others have seen with their eyes!
Although the people here in Carrera also suggested that Luffy and the others were buying a new or second-hand ship, after all, the keel of the Merry was almost damaged, and if it was necessary to repair it, it would be no less than building a new ship.

Moreover, no matter how clever or even a great shipbuilder, it is impossible to build two identical ships... So, in theory, there is no possibility of "resurrecting" the Merry!

However, Luffy and the others seem to have not recovered from the current state of the Merry, and it will take some time for them to adjust their mood.

"Okay, when you decide, you can come to us again, Carrera Company, no matter what time it is, it will definitely have a ship that will definitely satisfy you!"

He reached out to grab the box containing funds beside him.

Luffy and the others plan to go back and discuss it with their partners.After all, the Meili could even be regarded as their partner, and now that such a big thing happened, the rest of the crew also had the right to know.

"Huh? This..." But at this time, something unexpected appeared.The box in Luffy's hand was unexpectedly light and light!
"boom!"

"Where is the money in here?!" Luffy opened the box, and the [-] million Baileys inside were gone!

"Ah?" Nami also hurriedly opened her own box. Fortunately, the [-] million Baileys in her hand are still there.

"The [-] million Baileys in this cardboard box are gone too!"

Luffy opened the last box, and it turned out to be empty!

Three hundred million Baileys, three boxes.

Now the only box in Nami's hand is left intact!
"Who?! Who is it?!" Nami's eyes were burning: "By the way, Usopp! Where's Usopp?! Isn't he always looking at the box?!"

"Are you looking for that long-nosed companion? I just saw him leave with a few members of the Franky family." A staff member at the shipyard kindly reminded him.

"The Franky family?" Luffy and Nami naturally didn't understand the situation in the capital of seven waters.

"The Franky family, they are a well-known hooligan organization here in the capital of seven waters. Although they also have a business of running a ship breaking yard, they often do petty theft in normal times.

"Moreover, they are especially interested in pirates like you. Up to now, many pirates have suffered from their hands."

I have to mention that although Luffy and his pirates can do "normal" transactions in the capital of seven waters, after all, pirates are not a glorious name, and they are more or less despised by others—— If their identities are revealed.

Not to mention, Luffy and the others are now somewhat famous in the first half of the great route.

It's even possible that they were targeted by the Franky family after they landed on the island!After all, this is nothing out of the ordinary.

……

"Stop! Stop!!" Usopp was almost robbed of [-] million Baileys directly in his hands!
Obviously, it was the partners who trusted me to let me take care of it, and it was an important fund for repairing the Merry!It's a good thing now that this group of people snatched [-] million Baileys from him in one fell swoop!
"Bang bang bang!" Usopp's slingshot was not a toy either.He chased after the Franky family and kept attacking, hoping to stop them and take back his own wealth.

However, such an attack not only did not make the Franky family retreat, it seemed to have the opposite effect. Several strong men from the Franky family stopped running and walked straight towards Usopp come over!
"Hmph... I just took your money and let it go, but I didn't expect mere pirates to be so difficult!"

"It's just... Anyway, the wealth in your hands is also robbed, and it is not illegal to seize the wealth of pirates, not only in the capital of seven waters, but anywhere!" The Franky family said.

In fact, what they said also made sense.

In this era of great pirates, it is more or less powerless to deal with the endless stream of pirates on the sea only by relying on the strength of the Navy Headquarters.

Ever since, they thought of a way to use "people's power".

For example, "Pirate Hunter" is actually secretly and unobviously supported by the World Government and the Navy Headquarters.

There is no need for them to allocate special funds from the World Government, as long as the rewards are issued, there will naturally be pirate hunters to hunt down pirates, which saves them a lot of military expenditure.

In addition, in any country that is under the jurisdiction and influence of the world government, pirates do not have any "legal rights"-except for the "King Qibuhai" that the world government and the Navy headquarters allow to exist.

In other words, not only will the Franky family not receive any punishment for their robbery of Usopp, but they may also be encouraged and supported!

"You! You!" Of course Usopp refused to accept it, and rushed forward to fight the opponent desperately!
However, Usopp's own fighting power is really unbearable to look at. When he faced a group of tall and strong Franky's shipbreaking workers, he was only left to be beaten as a meat sandbag.

……

"Usopp... Usopp, what's wrong with you?!"

When Nami and Luffy found Usopp, Usopp had been repaired by the Franky family and thrown on the street.

Usopp is desperate, and now his injuries are almost the most serious since he went to sea!I don't even have the energy to speak now...

It seems that Usopp values ​​the funds that still have a chance to save the Merry...

"Yes...isn't it..."

"Stop talking! Stop talking, Usopp! We'll bring Chopper over here to see your injuries right away! As for the money, you don't have to worry about it! After that, we must make sure that those guys don't vomit a dime come out!!"
