After Da Luo gave up the semi-finals, Hequan Ji and Hequan Liqian also entered the finals as they wished.

The two matches were scheduled for three days later.

It just so happened that Da Luo planned to take advantage of the three-day interval to first settle the ship's affairs, and then stay on the island for a few days to accompany Lu Jiu, and then plan to go out to sea for adventure.

Some supplies for going out to sea can be prepared now.

This important task will undoubtedly fall on Sanniruo's head. This guy has been an agent for so many years, has more connections, and is more familiar with the situation on the island.

So, in the afternoon.

Da Luo found Sanniruo and settled all the agent's expenses with him, and also gave him a bonus of 5 million Baileys.

"Boss, are we not betting on the finals?" Sunny asked unwillingly.

He had won the previous game, so he felt sorry when he heard that Darrow had given up.

"Well, we won't participate in the finals, but I have something more important for you. Go to the dock and see if there are any boats for sale. If there are, tell me." Darrow told Sunny solemnly.

"Also, I need you to help me purchase the things on this list. You can ask your companions to do this, or just put them in the previous warehouse."

After Darrow finished speaking, he took out a list from his pocket and handed it to Sunny.

"Okay."

Sunny didn't say anything after hearing it. He took the list and went out without stopping to buy it.

The day before yesterday, when he fought against Izumi Liqian, Darrow lost a lot of grenades and needed to replenish them.

In addition, there are some necessities for going out to sea, such as meat, canned food, and kitchen utensils, on the list, which need to be prepared in advance.

After meeting Sonny, Darrow went back to the tavern.

Darrow hoped to spend more time with Lu Jiu before going out to sea. After all, once they went out to sea, they would not know when they would meet again.

The tavern was still so lively. The finals in three days brought a huge flow of customers and became the biggest topic in the tavern. Almost every table was discussing who would win and lose in the game three days later.

"I didn't expect that Izumi Liqian was so strong!" A green-haired customer at the bar said to his companion.

His companion took a sip of rum and said in amazement: "Yeah, I didn't expect it. At least I always thought he was a weakling. I didn't expect him to make it to the finals."

"Hey, the little boss is here."

The green-haired guest suddenly saw Darrow at the bar and shouted loudly in the tavern.

After he shouted like that, the guests in the tavern all turned their attention to Darrow.

After all, in the previous rounds of competition, Darrow performed very strongly, and many people regarded him as a dark horse to win the championship. His withdrawal made him more controversial.

"Little boss, why did you withdraw in the semi-finals?" A customer at a table near the bar asked Darrow with a glass of wine.

"Haha, I got injured in an accident, and I don't think I can beat that Izumi Liqian, so I'll just withdraw." Darrow said with a wry smile, pointing to the fake bandage on his hand.

"Is that so..."

"What a pity, I'm optimistic about the little boss." Darrow's explanation caused the guests to discuss, and they all felt sorry for him.

Seeing that the guests couldn't stop talking, Darrow took the cocktail spoon and knocked the shaker next to him three times, which immediately attracted the guests' attention.

"To express my apology, the whole meal is free, everyone have fun!" Darrow said loudly.

A short sentence, like a spark falling into a pile of grass and wood, instantly ignited the atmosphere of the whole place.

"Oh!!"

"Long live the little boss!!

The guests were also very supportive, raising their glasses to Darrow to thank him for his generosity, and the atmosphere of the tavern reached a climax.

When the climax came, the shouting in the tavern also became a little lower, but there was still a burly man shouting there:

"Long live the little boss, little boss, I love you! !"

After the man shouted, he realized that everyone's eyes were focused on him, and he buried his head in the wine glass in front of him in embarrassment.

"Hahaha..."

The next second, a huge laugh broke out in the tavern, and everyone was immersed in a sea of ​​joy.

Lu Jiu's beautiful eyes also narrowed into a beautiful crescent.

………………………

Sang Niruo was very efficient. The next morning, he brought good news to Darrow.

"There are three boats for sale at the dock." In Darrow's room, San Niruo said seriously with a notebook.

After saying that, he spitted on his hand seriously, turned to the first page of the notebook and began to introduce:

"The first one is a fishing boat. It is old and in poor condition, but it should still be usable. The advantage is that the price is relatively low. The owner asked for 8.5 million. If you bargain, you should be able to get it for about 8 million."

Darrow didn't say anything, but he had actually ruled out this fishing boat.

Because he had worked in the fish farm west of Laoqiao before, he was very clear about the structure of fishing boats. Generally, fishing boats will have a fish storage pool for storing fish, which will greatly occupy the space in the cabin.

Moreover, fishing boats that have been used for a long time will always have a fishy smell, which is also unacceptable to Darrow.

"The second one is a sightseeing boat. It was sold because of improper management. They wanted to recover some funds, but the price is relatively high, about 48 million. It looks relatively new, so it should not have been used for a long time."

Sunny saw that Darrow still did not respond, so he continued to introduce the situation of the third boat.

"The third ship is a merchant ship. It is said that it was improved from a pirate ship that the Chamber of Commerce bought from the navy. It ran long-distance cargo for a period of time. Later, because the boss gambled, it was insolvent and was put up for auction. It should be bought for about 30 million."

Daro's eyes lit up after hearing the introduction of the third ship, and he asked Sonny, "Can you tell me more about this third ship?"

"Yes, this merchant ship was originally a pirate ship of the Black Fang Pirates. It was confiscated by Major General Carter and his men half a year ago and sold to this Chamber of Commerce. It is a medium-sized ship and has not been in use for a long time."

"And because it was modified from a pirate ship, the decoration inside is still very new and looks very good." Sonny handed the notebook in his hand to Daro.

"Well, you make an appointment with the ship owner, and we will go to see this merchant ship tomorrow." After taking a look, Daro took a picture and took a picture of the board.

"Okay."

After hearing Darrow's request, Sunnyro hurried down to make arrangements.

The next afternoon, Darrow saw the ship.

"Not bad, it's bigger than I thought." Darrow looked at the merchant ship and groaned.

There is a reason why Darrow pursues large ships. On the one hand, it is because large ships are more stable and safer when sailing on the sea.

On the other hand, it is also because of Darrow's ability. Since Darrow can compress a large amount of materials through compression, the things on the ship will be heavier. Large ships have a deeper draft and can carry more.

"Boss, we can go up and take a look." Sunnyro gestured, and then led Darrow to the deck. Darrow was not polite and looked around the ship.

The size of this ship is about the same as Luffy's later Thousand Sunshine.

The deck is also very spacious, and there are many gaps surrounded by iron fences on both sides of the ship. They should have been used to set up artillery before, but now the artillery has been removed.

The hull is divided into three floors, including a cargo hold at the bottom and a cabin above as a living area.

There are a total of 10 bedrooms, a dining room and a captain's room. The interior decoration is still very new. Obviously, this merchant ship has not been in operation for a long time.

Above the cabin is a terrace, on which some apples and vegetables are planted, which can effectively prevent the crew from getting scurvy due to not eating vegetables for too long during the voyage.

There is a tall mast in the middle of the ship, and there is a lookout room on it. There is a beautiful mermaid statue on the bow, which should be left over from the previous pirate ship.

"Very good."

After a careful observation, Darrow nodded with satisfaction. The ship is well maintained as a whole. In addition, because it was converted from a pirate ship, it can also meet Darrow's needs for long-distance voyages.

Darrow was indeed very satisfied, so he instructed Sonny to negotiate, and finally Darrow bought the ship for 30 million. Although there was no discount, the seller also agreed to renovate and rebuild Darrow's ship for free.

The focus of the reconstruction was still the warehouse. Darrow didn't need to run freight, so he couldn't use it, so he had to dismantle it and rebuild it.

Darrow planned to convert the warehouse into a practice room and an alchemy room. Because of the compression ability, the ship did not need a large warehouse.

It happened that the remaining space in the warehouse was used

In the newly built alchemy room, some chemical equipment and various reagents can be placed. Darrow can conduct experiments here and develop various special bullets.

Next, Darrow gave a few instructions to Sonny and asked him to come to the port to supervise the work in the next two days, and move the purchased items to the ship.

After both parties finalized all the details and signed the contract, Darrow finally owned the first ship in his life that truly belonged to him.
