Ship Girl Merry, Censored Vocabulary

The Straw Hat Pirates, sobbing uncontrollably, finally cremated the completely destroyed Going Merry.

She was a partner recognized by everyone, and she deserved a dignified end.

Standing on the small sampan, the crowd watched through tear-filled eyes as the wreckage of the Going Merry slowly sank into the sea.

Then...

Time has been reversed.

The Going Merry, which had been broken and destroyed, gradually rose from the sea and was rebuilt into its original shape.

Everything seemed to have returned to the very beginning.

She is still that brand new Going Merry.

But the Straw Hat Pirates could all sense that the ship's spirit still existed.

"Waaah..."

Luffy was crying his eyes out, looking like a child.

He grabbed the bow of the Going Merry and rubbed against it wildly.

Did he do it?

Zoro and Sanji exchanged a glance and simultaneously turned their gazes to Wang Yan.

Every the Miracle has its reason.

Rather than attributing it to "divine blessing," they preferred to believe that it was Wang Yan's doing.

When Going Merry first touched the reborn Luffy, a mechanical notification sound rang in his mind.

"The Captain System is now officially activated."

"System startup..."

A pale blue Particle Fluoroscreen appeared in front of Luffy's eyes.

All data regarding the Going Merry is clearly displayed.

[Name: Monkey D. Luffy]

[Occupation: Adventurer]

[Position: Straw Hat Pirates Captain (Battleship Admiral)]

[Crew Genealogy: Naruto (First Mate), Zoro (Male Swordsman), Sanji (Cook), Usopp (Sniper and Gunner), Tashigi (Female Swordsman), Koby (Warrior), Franky (Ship Reinforcer).]

"Captain System?"

Luffy pouted and retorted, "I'm a [illegible]! Not an adventurer!"

He intended to say the word "pirate," which Wang Yan had censored, but the words were automatically muted and turned into "beep beep."

It has a great comedic effect.

Unwilling to give up, Luffy tried several more times, but unsurprisingly, he failed each time.

Frank and Usopp clutched their stomachs, laughing so hard they were pounding the deck.

Feeling frustrated, Luffy made a face at the Ship Reinforcer and the sniper.

He suddenly noticed a sub-option called "[Ship Girl]" on the Data panel in front of him.

"Hello, Luffy."

A little girl, about 1.3 meters tall, appeared before everyone and spoke in a childish voice.

She blinked her big, watery eyes and wore an adorable sheep outfit.

With two clearly decorative ram horns on its head and chubby little cheeks, it's impossible not to want to pinch them.

"Merry!"

Luffy wasn't shy at all; he picked her up and spun her around a few times as if they'd known each other for years.

The unscientific phenomenon of the ship spirit materializing seemed to have no effect whatsoever on the thick-skinned Straw Hat Pirates.

Everyone quickly accepted this fact.

Franky, the new recruit, had eyes that were practically bulging out of their sockets.

That's the legendary Ship Spirit!

Surprisingly, no one seemed surprised...

What kind of people are these?!

The loss and recovery, along with the addition of new members, brought joy to everyone.

Ship Girl Little Merry became the most beloved character on the ship.

She couldn't leave the Going Merry, and everyone told her their own adventure stories.

Especially the female students of the Protagonist Academy, who suddenly realized that the school trip diary also had its necessity.

"Gourmet Big Brother, do you know about the Captain System?"

Luffy closer to Wang Yan and asked this question.

Wang Yan nodded slightly. "When I was repairing the Going Merry just now, I helped Little Merry take on a new form and created a system for you while I was at it."

The [Captain System] that Luffy obtains is essentially no different from the [Wang Yan's Blessing] 3.0 version that the teachers and students in the Protagonist Academy possess.

"Etc!"

The sneaky Nami overheard their conversation.

She stared blankly at Wang Yan, and blurted out instinctively, "System Father?"

Upon hearing this, Nami's face flushed red, and she wished she could jump into the sea to clear her head.

Yes...

Wang Yan is her God-tier Tycoon System!

Nami had imagined the other person to be a kind father figure, but she never expected that the system's true form would be the Dean.

Young, handsome, and powerful.

Details that were subconsciously blocked out and ignored by the brain have come to light one by one.

timbre, tone quality, speaking style, morbid humor...

Nami suddenly felt like the biggest fool in the world!

She didn't realize that the reason she ignored these factors was entirely because Wang Yan wanted her to ignore them.

The time is not yet ripe.

Now, the time is ripe.

"Hmm, looks like I can't keep up the act any longer."

Wang Yan nodded shamelessly, openly acknowledging his other identity.

He looked at Nami with a half-smile, "Hello, host."

"Wow..."

Nami covered her face and rushed into the crew quarters like a gust of wind.

She felt ashamed to face anyone when she thought about the cringeworthy and immature things she had done in front of Wang Yan.

The single-minded Luffy was not interrupted by this little incident.

He persisted, saying, "Ugh! I'm going to be the Pirate King! I'm not just some adventurer!"

"Pirates are criminals who specialize in robbing other ships at sea or along the coast; it is a criminal profession."

Wang Yan asked calmly, "Have you ever robbed anyone?"

Luffy stared in disbelief, dumbfounded, counting on his fingers as if trying to recount his crimes.

For a long time, Luffy couldn't come up with a single "past battle record".

"If your dream is simply to find ONE PIECE, then your profession should indeed be that of an adventurer."

Wang Yan smiled calmly, his words carrying a deadly seductive power. "Strictly speaking, Red-Haired Shanks can't be considered a pirate. He's Hero of the Seas, a righteous man who robs the rich to help the poor."

"Besides, is your future only to reach the same level as Gol D. Roger?"

"King of Navigators, One Piece, Adventure King..."

"Anything is fine."

"You need to seriously think about your future Warpath."

Even Naruto, with his unparalleled persuasive skills, couldn't convince the stubborn Luffy, and Wang Yan was no exception.

He only subconsciously influenced Luffy's future path broader.

Luffy's dream remains unchanged.

He is still that young man chasing his dream of ONE PIECE.

But...

What lies at the end of a dream?

Behind the happy ending of becoming the One Piece lies a tragic conclusion.

How long can Luffy's personality and power allow him to stand on the throne?

Wang Yan prepared an even better answer for Luffy.

An adventure story that never ends.

Over the course of a month, the Going Merry sailed through the waves, bringing the Straw Hat Pirates and the Protagonist Academy to the legendary "Devil's Triangle Sea Area."

"Huh?"

Nami, who had temporarily taken over as navigator, saw a magnificent amusement Paradise through her binoculars.

A comical skeleton with an afro is running wildly across the sea.

It seemed to have noticed the presence of the Going Merry and quickly approached...
