Chapter 80

This has happened throughout history.

The so-called Hero saves the damsel in distress.

If the Hero is handsome, the beautiful woman will blush and say, "Hero, you saved my life, I have no way to repay you but to offer myself to you."

If the Hero is of average appearance, the beautiful woman will say frankly, "I have no way to repay your life-saving grace, Hero. I can only repay your kindness by being your servant in the next life, even if it means repaying a debt of gratitude."

To Adrian's surprise, he actually encountered this kind of anecdote.

But the Mink Tribe...

So much hair...

I have absolutely no interest in sex...

"Lumi, since you rescued this Little Fox, you can handle it."

Adrian simply stated.

"After we cross Fish-Man Island and arrive in the New World, let's see if we can find the Zou Mokomo Dukedom and send her back."

Lumi glanced at Love, Louf were brimming with tears as if she were about to burst into them, and nodded somewhat reluctantly.

"Oh... I understand."

"But Adrian, Louf said she knows a lot of the specialties from the Mokomo Dukedom..."

Adrian looked at the Little Fox and asked in surprise, "You're a Cook too?"

"Hmm." Louf nodded.

How's your cooking?

"I'm not entirely sure, but everyone says my cooking is delicious."

"Go try it, Lumi, take her to the kitchen."

"Oh, no problem!" Lumi replied.

Shortly after, Louf reappeared carrying a plate with an exquisitely beautiful dessert on it.

"This is the Whale Forest Sunrise."

Louf said softly, placing the plate in front of Adrian with some nervousness.

In the center of a clean white plate sits an upside-down jelly dessert the size of a teacup, with a deep blue background. Above it hangs a pale yellow sun high in the sky, and below, beneath the azure sea, lies a white whale with its tail held high. A tender green "fountain" emanates from the top of the whale's head.

The entire dessert reflects the maker's meticulous attention to detail.

Adrian reached out with his dessert spoon, gently scooped up a little and put it in his mouth. After savoring it for a few seconds, his attitude changed drastically.

"Great! You're now the third-in-command of this team!"

The Little Fox Louf, Love, immediately became incredibly happy, and her fox eyes shone with an incomparably touching tenderness.

Adrian quickly devoured the 'Whale Forest Sunrise' image, then lay contentedly on the sofa, directing Lumi to return to Water 7.

After.

Lumi was in charge of steering and sailing, the Little Fox was in charge of starting the fire and cooking, and I was in charge of eating, drinking, and having fun.

It's a perfect match!

Adrian is finally going to live the carefree life he's always dreamed of, where everything is done for him!

[Chapter 142 Bubble Ship]

After a period of calm and uneventful sailing, Adrian returned to Water 7.

Led by Lumi, a seasoned sailor with decades of experience, the route between the Sabaody Archipelago and Water 7 was traversed very smoothly and took very little time.

Adrian was originally supposed to dive directly from the Sabaody Archipelago to Fish-Man Island, which is 10,000 meters deep, and then travel through Fish-Man Island to the second half of the New World.

This is also a common practice among the vast majority of Pirates.

But after careful consideration, Adrian decided to return to Water 7 and deliver the half-branch of the Yarukiman Mangrove to Mr. Tom.

Let this legendary Shipwright build this one-of-a-kind Bubble Ship first.

After all, the New World in the second half of the Grand Line is not the Paradise of the first half.

The climate change in the Paradise phase was already complex and unpredictable enough, but the climate change in the New World is several times more frequent than that in the Paradise phase.

In such a harsh Sea Area with unpredictable magnetic fields, turbulent waves, and unpredictable weather, it would be impossible to move an inch without a sufficiently good ship.

The two-masted sailboat ordered from the Drum Island shipyard was sufficient for sailing during the Paradise phase, but its hull strength was still somewhat insufficient to withstand the storms of the New World.

Of course, Adrian could also directly enter the New World by crossing the Red Line.

Whether it's Ghost Body or Lumi's Ghost castle, both can achieve this.

But even if we did that, we still wouldn't have a Red-Legged to withstand the waves of the New World. We can't possibly rely on flying for all our travel in the New World, can we?

The Water 7 remains as dilapidated and desolate as ever.

Until the Puffing Tom is successfully built, Water 7 will remain in this dilapidated state.

Only when the Sea Train connects the surrounding Sea Area into one, will this world-renowned shipping city once again usher in its golden age.

After setting foot on the land of Water 7, Adrian headed straight toward Tom's Workers.

Welcome to Tom's Workers!

This time, the one who opened the door for Adrian was Franky, who was wearing only a pair of black briefs (hereafter referred to as Franky, and his current name, Flam, will not be used).

"Hiss--So it's you! The super powerful Great Pirate White Ghost! I read about what you did in the Sabaody Archipelago in the newspaper! Absolutely super awesome!"

Franky cheered excitedly in his hoarse voice, quickly drawing the attention of everyone else in the studio.

Upon hearing the news, Mr. Tom immediately gave Franky a hard knock on the head.

"Kid! Making such a loud noise, are you looking for death?! Although it's an open secret that Shipwright in Water 7 build ships for Pirates, and no one has ever questioned it before, we've always been closely watched by the World Government! After that major incident, White Ghost now a thorn in the side of the World Government and the Marine Headquarters!"

The blue-haired guy, Iceburg, stood to the side, gloating and adding fuel to the fire, "Exactly! Franky, you big idiot!"

In the end, it was the mermaid Kokoro who persuaded the two fellow disciples who were about to fight to step aside, leaving the space to Adrian and Mr. Tom.

"White Ghost, although I was prepared for you to cause a major incident long before you left Water 7," Mr. Tom looked at Adrian with a complicated expression, "I never expected you to go to this extent... That's Celestial Dragons!"

"So what if he's Celestial Dragons?" Adrian shrugged. "Even those who claim to be descendants of gods will still cry and scream when they're beaten, and howl and scream when they're burned. Mr. Tom, at least in my opinion, you're far greater than that Saint Rosward."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Tom gave a wry smile and said no more.

White Ghost's words greatly challenged his long-held beliefs; how could Celestial Dragons be no different from everyone else?

Moreover, they are already Fish-Man who face discrimination from humans.

Shaking his head, Mr. Tom got down to business, "Speaking of White Ghost, did you retrieve the branch of the Yarukiman Mangrove? The World Economy News Paper only mentioned your damage to Thirteenth Peninsula in the Sabaody Archipelago."

Adrian smiled slightly and said, "Of course it has been retrieved, otherwise I wouldn't be here to see you at this time, would I?"

Mr. Tom was too lazy to think about the Celestial Dragons' dirty deeds at the moment. He rubbed his palms together with a slightly excited expression, his face showing eagerness.

That's Yarukiman Mangrove!

Even in the shipbuilding capital of Water 7, this is a unique material that has never been heard of before!

Led by Mr. Tom, the two returned to the hidden, semi-open-air pit where the Pirate King ship Oro Jackson had once been located.

Ships built using Yarukiman Mangrove must never be discovered by World Government personnel.

Otherwise, Mr. Tom is already facing trial for building ships for the Roger Pirates, and to then get involved with the most notorious Enemy of the Celestial Dragons, White Ghost, would be...

Even the judge who admires the Sea Train project would probably not give Mr. Tom a chance to live.

"Lumi, you can take out that half of the Yarukiman Mangrove branch now."

Adrian reached out and gently tapped the Lead-Gray Pocket Watch case.

This Pocket Watch has now become Lumi's new home.

"Oh! No problem!"

Suddenly, huge ripples appeared around Adrian's body.

As time passed, a section of the Yarukiman Mangrove trunk, as thick as dozens of people could hug, appeared in the semi-open pit. The trunk was marked with the number "13", indicating that it was cut from the Thirteenth Peninsula of the Sabaody Archipelago.

"This is truly magnificent! Top-quality shipbuilding materials! Hahaha!"

Looking at the branches of the Yarukiman Mangrove in front of him, Mr. Tom burst into hearty laughter.

Soon, after discussion and deliberation, the design blueprints for the new ship were successfully completed.

Shipbuilding technology in the world of Pirates is also one of the most remarkable cutting-edge technologies.

In less than half a month, this new ship, made primarily of Yarukiman Mangrove, was born in this pit.

"Adrian, what name are you going to give this one-of-a-kind Bubble Ship?"

"A name?" Adrian pondered for a moment, "[The Nether Abyss], the Ghost Captain should have such a name."

"The abyss of the underworld?"

Mr. Tom scratched his head. Although the name sounded imposing, it inexplicably gave off a bloody and ominous feeling.

However, considering the title of the person in front of him, Mr. Tom immediately understood—it was the White Ghost!

"Oh, right, White Ghost, there's one more thing I need to remind you of," Mr. Tom said. "Because it's a ship primarily made of Yarukiman Mangrove, the Nether Abyss can continuously release bubbles similar to those found on Sabaody Archipelago."

In other words...

Mr. Tom exclaimed excitedly, "That's right, this is a unique bubble sailboat that can be used for both surface and deep-sea diving!"

[152. Chapter 143 Unprecedented Navigation in Shallow Seawater]

Half a day later.

"Adrian- sama, is this alright?"

The little fox girl Louf looked at the bubbles that had completely enveloped the entire Nether Abyss, her pure and clear fox eyes fixed on Adrian with a hint of curious inquiry.

"You should ask Lumi about that; after all, he's the one who truly controls this sailboat."

Upon hearing this, Adrian was holding a carefully prepared dessert, waved his hand and pointed to the Lead-Gray Pocket Watch floating in mid-air above the rudder on the deck of the Nether Abyss.

The Ship Spirit, dressed in a crimson raincoat, rested its hands on the enormous rudder, its small body twisting and turning, softly humming the tune of "Binks' Sake".

As for Louf is called...

After Adrian emphasized several times that no improvement had been achieved, he gave up.

Although he's not a Fu Rui fan...

But it must be said that having a Little Fox with a soft, sweet voice constantly calling "Adrian- sama" in your ear is indeed a very enjoyable experience.

Louf nodded somewhat bewilderedly, then jogged towards the ship's wheel and began to pester Lumi.

For the little fox girl born in the Mokomo Dukedom on the back of the Zunesha, everything she was experiencing was incredibly novel.

Whether it's the culturally unique Water 7 or the one-of-a-kind Bubble Ship, it's all an unprecedented and novel experience for Louf.

Just then, Adrian felt a slight tremor in the ship, and the massive Nether Abyss began to dive into the Seawater.

The Nether Abyss, built primarily from Yarukiman Mangrove, has a built-in bubble-generating function that continuously produces resilient bubbles similar to those found on the Sabaody Archipelago, effectively creating a protective film on the ship's surface.

Although Adrian wasn't entirely sure how Mr. Tom managed to keep the felled Yarukiman Mangrove alive and continuing to secrete resin...

But for such legendary Shipwright, praise is all that matters!

Besides, Mr. Tom also possesses the design blueprints for the legendary evil warship Pluton, and is also the chief designer of the Sea Train. He is a little-known tech genius in the Pirates world.

What's wrong with building a Bubble Ship?

A novice Shipwright like Adrian doesn't need to understand the underlying principles at all.

Let's get back to the main topic.

The existence of the Nether Abyss meant that Adrian didn't need to spend extra time and effort going to the Sabaody Archipelago for Coating; he could directly dive into the seabed and travel directly to Fish-Man Island, which was 10,000 meters deep, via the underwater route.

That's right!

At this very moment, the Nether Abyss is diving in the Sea Area near Water 7!
