Enel glanced at Ane as if he were an idiot. "Are you an idiot? Long Nose is Shipwright. How can Shipwright not understand ships?"

Ane couldn't help but wiped away cold sweat. "You didn't tell me, how do I know he is Shipwright."

In the time it took these two sentences, Kaku came back.

After returning, Kaku said, "This ship is not worth two hundred thousand."

Ane was stunned, and said with a dry smile, "How could it not be worth two hundred thousand... Although my boat is an old boat, its quality is definitely not good. For a price of two hundred thousand, where can you buy a boat of such a big size and with such good quality? Don't pick it up, it's only two hundred thousand. It's a trivial matter to you. If you can't buy it, you won't be deceived. There won't be this shop after passing this village."

Chapter 289 Daily: Make it or not, Kaku's tough fight back

No matter how impassioned Shopkeeper's words about this little broken fishing boat are, in the eyes of Kaku and Enel, they are all nonsense.

Regardless of Kaku's dissatisfaction with the ship, even if Kaku wanted to buy it, Enel would not agree.

"It's just a broken ship, even if you give it to me, I won't want it." Enel said with extreme disgust, "Only a high-end and elegant ship can match the temperament of this Thunder God."

"Is there something wrong with this guy's brain?" Ane muttered in a low voice.

Gewo, who had not dared to speak, quickly pulled him and whispered, "Do you want to die? He is Devil Fruit User. Maybe it will be easy to kill us."

"Uh, I almost forgot..." Ane was sweating profusely on his forehead and looked towards Enel cautiously.

If in normal times, Enel would have been looked down upon instead of Lightning Strike, but today I was in a good mood, so I didn't care much about it.

"You're lucky." Enel hummed, "I, Thunder God, am merciful and will spare you your unreasonable behavior this time. If you do it next time, you will die!"

"Yes, yes, I don't dare anymore." Ane responded with a wry smile.

Kaku continued, "Your ship is at least five years old, and has been repaired at least five times during this period. Although the overall appearance does not appear to be much damaged, the inside of the ship can no longer support much. From what I see, this ship can only sail ten short distances at most before it is scrapped. And we are going to many and far away places. Your ship is not suitable for us at all."

After a pause, Kaku continued, "Besides, we have very high requirements for the boat. The configuration of your boat is too low and the space is too small. Lifespan is still short. It is worth five to one hundred thousand Beli at most. Use this money to buy some materials, and I can build a new fishing boat of the same type myself."

Ane: "..."

"Okay, let's not talk anymore." Kaku didn't want to say anything more, and was too lazy to continue talking nonsense to Ane. He turned to look at Enel who was still spinning Ruyi Jingu Bang, "Big Fool, be more careful when you are familiar with new weapons. Don't accidentally sink this ship."

Enelu said angrily, "You bastard with a long nose, is this Thor such a careless person? I will not make the same mistake twice!"

"Okay, okay, then you can play by yourself. I'm tired and I'm going to rest."

After finishing speaking, Kaku also entered Ship Cabin.

After he left Deck, Enel suddenly realized a problem. He couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth slightly, and glared at Ane and Gewo angrily. "What did that bastard Long Nose call me just now?"

Ane said awkwardly, "Well, I didn't pay attention..."

Gewo shook his head. "I didn't pay attention either..."

"Useless things." Enel complained in disgust.

The two people looked at each other, especially when they saw the Sisi thunder and lightning flashing on Enel's body, both of them were frightened and did not dare to speak anymore.

After that, the fishing boat sailed on the sea for nearly two hours and finally arrived at Small Island, which has a population of less than a thousand people.

When the fishing boat parked close to the coast, Lin Mo and the three of them got off the boat and walked directly to the only piece of Buji Town on the island.

After they left, Ane and Gewo breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ane, that Long Nose said that your ship Lifespan is about to die, is it true?" Gewo looked at Ane and asked curiously.

"How do I know..." Ane said with a displeased expression, "My boat is in good shape. It must be that Long Nose boy who is lying to me! Really, if you don't buy it, you won't buy it. Why are you talking to me with such nonsense? Today's young people really don't take others seriously anymore."

Lin Mo The three of them arrived soon Buji Town.

At the gate of Buji Town entering the town, just like the Small Town on the Small Island they had been to before, there was a Pirate Flag hanging for deterrence.

Glancing at the Pirate Flag tied to the top of the Town gate, Enel said disdainfully, "Why is it that Whitebeard is covering up again... Is he really Pirate? Why is he covering people everywhere?"

"I have told you a long time ago that Whitebeard is different from other Pirate." Kaku was too lazy to explain to him, "He can do whatever he wants, and it has nothing to do with us. Let him cover whoever he wants to cover. As long as it doesn't hinder us, anything is fine, right?"

As he spoke, Kaku looked at Lin Mo.

Lin Mo nodded lightly and stepped directly into Buji Town.

"Captain, should we buy a new ship directly, or collect materials and build a new one Flying Ship?" After walking into Town, Kaku asked Lin Mo.

Lin Mo thought for a while and replied, "Buy the materials first."

"Okay." Kaku didn't care, "It's just that I don't have much money on hand... I don't know how much custom gears cost..."

Lin Mo directly took out a stack of banknotes and gave it to Kaku.

Kaku accepted it unceremoniously. After thinking about it, he couldn't help but ask again, "Captain, where did you get this money? Can you hold so many things in your pocket?"

"What do you think?" Lin Mo turned to look at him.

Kaku scratched his head and asked in confusion, "Ruyi Jingu Bang, you took it out of your pocket too. Could it be that Captain's pocket is a treasure bag?"

Originally he didn't believe that there was a treasure bag that could hold anything in the world, but after seeing with his own eyes that Enel's new weapons could be big or small, light or heavy, he actually became a little convinced that Lin Mo might actually have a treasure bag.

Enel said nonchalantly, "Lin Mo is not an ordinary person. Whatever happens to him, I, Thunder God, will not find it strange."

"Okay, okay." Kaku waved his hand, "I'm overthinking it, so are you going to buy shipbuilding materials with me next?"

Lin Mo and Enel said in unison, "I won't go."

"Ha." Kaku sneered and said with a rare strong voice, "Okay, if you don't go, then I won't go either."

Lin Mo:"..."

Enel: "..."

Kaku waved his hand and said, "This ship doesn't belong to me alone. If you don't help, I will go on strike to see who can outlast the other."

"Bastard Long Nose, I see you are getting more and more arrogant!" Enel's whole body was filled with electricity, and he looked like he would launch an attack if he disagreed.

Kaku was not afraid of him at all. Instead, he even said more jealously, "Come on, if you hurt me, no one will be able to make Flying Ship. You can stay here Small Island for a while longer."

Enel's mouth twitched slightly, he looked at Lin Mo and asked for help, "Look at him, if you don't care about him anymore, your power Captain will be gone."

Lin Mo punched Enel with his backhand, then looked at Kaku with an indifferent expression.

Before he said anything, Kaku was the first to speak, "Even if you are Captain, I am serious this time. The three of us must build the new ship together. Only if we do it ourselves, you will cherish this ship even more in the future. If you still If you insist on doing nothing, then just buy a ready-made one. In short, the decision is in the hands of Captain, Captain, you decide, whether to buy a ready-made one, or the three of us build a new Flying Ship together."

Chapter 290 Daily: Who gave you Courage

In the past, Kaku would never ask Lin Mo to do anything, mainly because he did not dare to ask for it.

But things are different now. He is no longer the same person he used to be. He no longer has to live on a knife's edge every day to complete various dangerous undercover and assassination missions, and he no longer has to fight alone.

Although Enel usually quarrels and fights with him, and Lin Mo rarely talks to him, at critical moments, neither of them will give up on him.

For the first time, he had the concept of companions.

That's why he thought of asking Lin Mo and the others to build a ship with him.

This is not just as simple as building a boat. Doing something together with three people can not only enhance the relationship between the three of them, but also cultivate a tacit understanding.

Besides, Lin Mo and Enel usually do nothing on the boat. They are too lazy. They should move more if they have nothing to do.

Similarly, although the current Lin Mo has changed somewhat compared to before, there are some things that he still has to insist on.

For example, if you can sit, don't stand, if you can lie down, don't sit...

Then, Lin Mo said proudly, "Buy ready-made."

Kaku The corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Enel burst into laughter. "Hahahaha, Long Nose, it's not the first day you met Lin Mo. Do you think you can persuade him to do his job? It really made me laugh to death."

Kaku Now I don't know what expression to use to express my feelings.

It's a bit helpless, but it makes sense when you think about it... Whoever calls him Captain has a personality that doesn't like working.

After a moment of silence, Kaku continued, "But buying a ready-made boat requires a lot of money. An ordinary Small Boat will never be able to sail too far on Grand Line. A larger one will be very expensive. Do we have that much money to buy a boat?"

Speaking of money, Enel took out the remaining fragment of his Golden Staff wreckage. "Anyway, Thunder God already has a new weapon, so I'll just sell this gold to get money to buy a boat."

Kaku glanced at the Golden Staff wreckage in Enel's hand, shook his head and said, "Your little gold can be exchanged for at most two to three million Beli. With your tastes, ordinary Small Boat won't be able to impress you at all..."

Enel asked dissatisfied, "Then how much money do you think is still missing?"

Kaku roughly counted the money Lin Mo just gave him, and continued, "Even if your little half of gold can be sold for three million, plus Captain gave me half a million Beli here, it's still far away. I want to buy a boat with better performance. The Light-Rail Sailing Ship is still eye-catching, but at least you should prepare eight or nine hundred Beli. You can only buy a slightly better boat than the ordinary ones. If you want a better boat, it will cost more than 10 million. You get what you pay for. Of course, if we buy the materials to build the boat ourselves, we can save half of the money."

Saving half of it means millions of Beli. If it weren't for him who usually buys the Supplies on the ship, and their money basically only goes out and doesn't come in, what if they don't save some money...

"Uh... there's such a huge difference? Is a ship so expensive?" Enel looked confused, "Long Nose, are you lying to me?"

Kaku said dumbfounded, "Do I need to lie to you? If only I had money, forget it. The problem is that we don't have that much money now, and the days ahead are still long. We can't just rob when we have no money, right? We are not Pirate, nor are we bandits."

"Are you stupid?" Enel said in disgust, "Wouldn't it be better to just steal Pirate's money?"

"Then you have to grab a bigger Pirate group. The small Pirate group doesn't have that much money." Kaku stroked his chin and thought for a while, but said helplessly, "This island is covered by Whitebeard. Ordinary Pirate will not come here to cause trouble. Even if we stay here for ten days and a half, we may not meet Pirate who come to the island to cause trouble. Let alone Pirate, Bandit may not even dare to come here."

"There isn't one on the island, why don't you go to the sea to look for it?" Enel gave Kaku a look that said, "Isn't it just money? Just wait, I Thunder God will go to the sea to find the unlucky guy."

"Okay." Lin Mo was too lazy to listen to their nonsense and said directly, "Kaku choose the ship and I'll pay."

Kaku said in surprise, "Captain, do we have that much money to buy a boat?"

Lin Mo nodded lightly.

Anyway, the system just gave him a ship worth one billion or tens of millions Beli, so he can still afford it.

"When did we become so rich?" Enel asked in surprise.

Lin Mo rolled his eyes at him and said, "I have money, not you."

Enel: "..."

Kaku smiled dryly and said, "Since Captain said so, then buy a ready-made one, which will save the time of building the ship. But if it sails on the sea, there will be many uncertain factors that will affect the speed of the ship. It will definitely not be as fast as Flying Ship."

"It doesn't matter." Enel was very happy. If he switched to an ordinary boat, he wouldn't need to use electricity to sail the boat, and he would have a lot more time to be lazy.

Kaku knows what Enel is thinking, so naturally he won't let him get too satisfied. "I usually have a lot of things to do. As you all know, I really can't spare the time to steer the ship, so Enel still has to do the work of sailing the ship."

"Uh..." Enel had black lines all over his head, "But I don't know how to drive an ordinary boat!"

"Then go and learn." Kaku said with a crooked smile, "You are so smart, you should be able to learn it quickly."

Enel: "..."

"That's it." Lin Mo said directly, "Enel learn to sail a boat."

"I don't want to learn..." Enel asked with a wry smile.

Lin Mo shook his fist at him.

Enel curled his lips and said reluctantly, "I know... I can learn it..."

Kaku laughed and said, "Hahaha, it's such a happy decision. Come on, let's go to Shipyard to have a look. I can't choose the shipowner by myself, right? If you are not satisfied with what I choose, I won't take the blame."

"It's so annoying!" Enel said unhappily, "Choose a ship and go, it's okay!"

Kaku nodded when he saw Lin Mo, and walked ahead in a good mood. "Then let's go, I will definitely choose a boat that you are both satisfied with and has the best value for money!"

Soon, under the guidance of several locals, the three of them arrived at the only Buji Island factory, Small Boat, which is located near the back of the island.

After knowing that these three outsiders who met Shipwreck wanted to buy a boat, Shipyard Shopkeeper smiled.

"The three of you came just in time. I have just built several latest models of ships here, both large and small. If the three of you want to go on a long voyage, I suggest you choose from these three ships." As he said that, Shipyard Shopkeeper took Lin Mo with him. E The three of them came to several boats that looked like they were docked on the coast. They pointed at two of them, Light-Rail Sailing Ship, and continued, "These two boats are particularly suitable for you, and the price is also very cost-effective. Do you want to consider them?"

"Whatever." Enel said nonchalantly, "As long as it can be driven."

Lin Mo glanced at the boat recommended by Shipyard Shopkeeper. It looked really new. It could be ignored just by its appearance among a bunch of boats. Lin Mo was quite satisfied.

Kaku looked at the two ships and did not immediately check the condition of the ships. He first asked, "What are the prices of these two ships?"

Shipyard Shopkeeper said with a smile, "The original price of these two ships is 20 million Beli. If you want it, I will give you a discount. How about 18 million?"

Hearing this, Kaku also laughed, "Shopkeeper, you have to choose the person you want to kill. This style of Light-Rail Sailing Ship, brand new, only costs 12 million at Water 7, and you can also negotiate the price. Who gave you the Courage, and it costs 18 million at the beginning?"

Chapter 291 Daily: Forced buying and selling

Shipyard Shopkeeper I didn't expect that among these three seemingly young people, there was actually an expert, so I was a little speechless for a while.

After thinking for a while, Shipyard Shopkeeper said confidently, "This is not Water 7. There are not enough Shipwright to build ships, and there are not as advanced and convenient shipbuilding equipment as Water 7. Yes, this style of ship is in Water 7 may really only need 12 million, but have you ever thought about it. The same ship, Water 7, only takes half a month to complete, but it takes at least two months for Buji Island. In terms of labor alone, the manpower and material resources required are twice that of Water 7. What if I raise the price?"

Regarding Shipyard Shopkeeper's sophistry, Kaku didn't fall for it at all, and then he began to take a closer look at Shipyard The two ships recommended by Shopkeeper touched their chin and analyzed. "It does look like a new ship on the outside, and what you said makes sense. Even if the labor cost is added for one month, the ship will be worth 13 million at most. This is still a brand new ship without any problems."

"Uh... that's not possible. I'll count you at least 14 million, no more!" Shipyard Shopkeeper said firmly, "I am a small business, and I use a lot of Beli just for materials. The labor cost is already very low!"
