"Yeah, thanks to them. All right, enough talk. Let's put out the fire."
The shipwrights in the dockyard hurried to carry water faster.
Luckily, Water 7 had no shortage of water. The firefighting went smoothly, and before long, the flames were out.
Lin Mo went straight to where the Flying Ship was.
The fire had reached it too, burning away a small section.
Kaku was working on the damaged area.
Sensing Lin Mo's presence, Kaku looked back and smiled. "Hahaha, it's fine. Only replaceable planks were burned. The keel wasn't affected, so repairs won't take long. We might not be able to hand over the ship until tomorrow noon, though."
Lin Mo watched him in silence, then asked, "Where's Enel?"
"That tall fellow? He went after the Pirates who set the dockyard on fire. Said he'd kill the ones who burned the ship." Kaku kept working as he spoke. "Your ship's inner workings are remarkably intricate. I was surprised when I took a closer look today. A few of the gears were loose, though, and that might have caused trouble later, so I tightened them all."
Lin Mo stared at Kaku without a word.
He knew Kaku was a quick learner, but he hadn't expected him to understand precision machinery like gears.
"Hahaha, you don't mind, do you?" Kaku asked with a laugh.
"No," Lin Mo said evenly.
Just then, Enel returned.
He had dealt with the Pirates who set the ship on fire easily enough, but he was still angry.
"Damn it! Those ignorant fools got off too lightly!" Enel snapped.
Lin Mo glanced at him. "Let's go."
Enel looked at Kaku, who was repairing the ship, then couldn't help complaining to Lin Mo again. "Look how badly the ship was burned. What if something like this happens again?
