Chapter 175 168. I want to see her again

"Bai Ye... what are you doing?"

Gion looked at Shirao in front of him with a puzzled expression.

I saw him holding a bucket of paint and painting ♀ symbols everywhere on his exclusive warship.

what the hell is this (o;
Human confusion? !
"Ahem, I'm working hard for my future ship girl, please call me Admiral from now on!" Bai Ye said while leisurely drawing the ♀ symbol on the deck.

"Don't ruin the warship, okay? This will make it difficult for the cleaners."

Gion, who didn't understand Bai Ye's words, looked helpless, feeling like he was facing a child who couldn't grow up.

"Well, the reason is this..." Vegapunk, who was holding a draft paper to calculate the relevant formulas of the Ship Girl Plan, walked over and explained to Gion.

"Jianniang?" Gion was stunned for a moment, then looked at the two big men who were busy in front of him, and couldn't help complaining, "This Jianniang you are talking about, can she go into the water?"

"........."

"........."

Bai Ye and Vegapunk, who were busy at work, were stunned for a while, and looked up at each other.

hiss!
What she said makes sense!
Because of the devil fruit, this ship girl seems unable to get into the water!
Can't get into the water...is that still a warship?
"It's done if it's cute enough!" Bai Ye pondered for a while, then resolutely gave up thinking.

Whether she can go into the water or not, isn't cute enough?

"That makes sense." Vegapunk nodded in agreement, showing a knowing smile.

Looking at the two people in front of them who were "colluding together" with smirks on their faces, Gion couldn't help but sighed, "These two people are hopeless."

"I suddenly had another idea." Vegapunk looked at Bai Ye and said.

"Find a portrait and hang it on the warship. Can you make the warship anthropomorphic and become the designated appearance in the portrait?"

"This idea..."

Bai Ye was stunned.

The feasibility of this idea is not low, after all, something metaphysical like a devil fruit, anything is possible.

It is not impossible for the warship to become like the portrait after it is anthropomorphized.

So………

Can she show up?

An idea suddenly came to mind, Bai Ye looked at Vegapunk excitedly, and tightly grasped Vegapunk's clothes with his hands.

"Can I decide this portrait?"

Bai Ye's eyes have never been so serious as this moment.

Looking at Bai Ye who seemed to be a different person, Vegapunk subconsciously nodded in agreement.

………………

After a while.

"Report to Admiral White Pigeon, this is the large-scale illustration you want." A sailor came over carrying a roll of paper.

Bai Ye hurried forward and spread it out.

I saw a full-body portrait of a lively and lovely girl painted on it.

"Lily..."

Bai Ye's eyes became lonely at this moment.

While murmuring in a low voice, he gently stroked the portrait.

"Isn't this the portrait you hang at home?!" Gion looked at the portrait with some surprise.

I saw this portrait when I was a guest at Bai Ye's house before.

The importance Bai Ye attached to this portrait was outrageous.

It was framed with a frame made by Baoshu Adam.

I put on a layer of ultra-rare oil film from deep-sea giant whales to resist oxidation. This oil is sold by the milligram.

The back of the painting is thinly coated with two layers of natural beeswax pre-dissolved in turpentine, which can completely prevent damage caused by the immersion of humid air.

Dozens of rare gemstones are also inlaid on the frame, and a new wave of completely different gemstones are replaced every year.

The most important thing is that there are two super rare orchids dotted next to the portrait all the year round, one with several million Baileys.

Once the orchid shows signs of wilting, replace it with two new ones without hesitation.

This adds up to investing at least hundreds of millions of Baileys every year.

Normally, if Gion wanted to take a second look at this portrait, Bai Ye would stare at him.

This makes Gion really jealous... cough cough... really angry...

"Indeed." Vegapunk nodded, "Isn't this your most precious portrait?"

Vegapunk has also been to Bai Ye's house. He once curiously asked who the person in Bai Ye's portrait was, but he didn't get an answer from Bai Ye at that time.

"This is... the most important person I've ever had."

Bai Ye's voice trembled a little, as if he was afraid of something.

Anyone who heard Bai Ye's speech now would not believe that this was the tone of the admiral's speech.

This trembling voice, one can detect the fragility and helplessness, fear and despair contained in it.

Gion and Vegapunk suddenly remembered what Garp had said about Bai Ye's past experiences.

Living in a peaceful and peaceful small village... After experiencing the massacre of pirates in the village, he joined the navy.

The two of them suddenly understood something at this moment.

"Is it called Lily? She's a very beautiful girl." Gion showed such a warm smile for the first time, and stared at Bai Ye seriously.

"What's in the past, let it go." Vegapunk's voice became deep, staring closely at Bai Ye who bowed his head and said nothing.

"I know all of this." Bai Ye raised her lowered head and forced a smile, "After all, more than ten years have passed."

"But ah..."

Bai Ye gently stroked the face of the girl in the portrait with his fingers.

"Every time I see her, I can't control myself."

In the corner of Bai Ye's eyes, there seemed to be some tears flashing.

The time when he just traveled over more than ten years ago was too impressive for Bai Ye.

That was the happiest time he had been.

As an orphan, relying on state funding and working hard all the way to support himself, he suddenly crossed over just after graduating from university.

The weakness of his physical potential before obtaining the devil fruit wiped out all the lofty ambitions he had after crossing.

Later, he lived in the small village where he was after crossing with peace of mind.

During that time, I had never experienced such warmth.

The old woman who gave him a mouthful of hot soup, the hospitable couple who adopted him, and the mischievous Ava who often played tricks.

And Lily...

The girl who blushed when she saw him...

This made him really want to forget everything in the past, abandon the pride and ambition of a traveler, and just live in this small village with peace of mind.

Live forever.

But all of this was ruined that night.

That fire, that crowd!
ruined everything!
He will never forget the ugly faces of those pirates!

Later, the navy helped to avenge her and was also taken in by the navy.

And then he just stayed in the navy, ready to finish an idea he's had since then!
The freedom of chaos will surely come to an end!
.........

"White night! White night!"

Vegapunk and Gion's shouts could be heard in my ears.

"Sorry, I accidentally fell into memory again." A wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and Bai Ye looked at the two Vegapunk beside him.

"Let's start, the ship girl experiment."

There was some anticipation in Bai Ye's voice.

If you can……

want to……

Goodbye to her!
