Kazu and his companions spent the last night of 1511 in high spirits.
As the sun rose once again, the first day of 1512 arrived.
Kazu spent the whole day organizing the Conqueror's Haki techniques in his mind, among which Conqueror's Haki Defense requires a higher level of Conqueror's Haki.
The average Yonko (Four Emperors) is not skilled enough to use this technique; at the very least, it requires the level of Shanks from the original manga.
The "Observation Haki Killer requires not only extremely strong Conqueror's Haki, but also Observation Haki level that can Future Sight. It is a technique that combines the two.
Kazu plans to use this time to digest the new knowledge in his mind, and everything else can be put on hold.
Two more months passed, Iceburg once again returned empty-handed from Tom's attempt, utterly helpless.
During this period, he visited even more frequently, his words flowing freely and his heart breaking with worry.
"Oh, why is Mr. Tom so stubborn?"
Iceburg sat in his office, smoking silently, unable to shake off the bitterness in his heart.
The new ship has been fully renovated and is ready for handover to Kazu at any time. He has already delayed for five days, and it can't be delayed any longer.
If things drag on for too long, he can't guarantee the Blond Hair Pirates won't get angry.
His shoulders carried not only his own head, but also the shoulders of so many employees at the shipyard, and even the entire Water 7.
After all, he was the mayor of this town; who knew if the other party might take their anger out on the common people?
Early the next morning, Iceburg personally went to Kazu's villa.
"Mr. Kazu, I have accomplished my mission. Your new ship has been inspected and we can proceed with the inspection at any time."
Kazu was having breakfast with the crew when Iceburg arrived at this time. He waved to Iceburg and said, "Don't rush those things, we can go after we finish eating. Come on over, have some with us. This bun is from Aunt Hirume, it's still warm."
Thank you for the invitation, but I've already eaten.
Iceburg quickly waved his hand, then found a chair and said, "I'll wait here for a while. You guys take your time eating, and we can go later when you're done."
Half an hour later, Kazu patted his stomach, feeling a sense of satisfaction.
Life is that simple: eat your fill, drink your fill, have someone by your side, and every day is a good day.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting, Mr. Iceburg, let's go."
Iceburg nodded and led Kazu and his group straight to the temporary shipyard outside the town.
There was no other way; the ship that Kazu and his crew requested was too big to sail in towns. They couldn't just leave it in Water 7 after it was built.
This is a long-standing tradition at their shipyard, and it's not the first time they've done this.
They set up a temporary shipyard outside and completed the shipbuilding work there.
Wow, that's amazing!
Kazu and the others were also impressed when they saw the new ship. Its main colors were red and yellow, and the hull had a hollow design that looked like dragon scales. There was a dragon head decoration at the bow and a dragon tail decoration at the stern. From a distance, it looked exactly like a giant sea dragon.
The ship is 560 meters long and 210 meters wide, making it a rare sight on the open sea.
If Luffy's Thousand Sunny were placed next to this ship, it would feel like an adult holding a child.
"Haha, this ship is really nice."
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Iceburg. I'm very satisfied."
Kazu, who was a descendant of the Yellow Emperor in his previous life, has always had a fondness for things that resemble Shenron, and he is absolutely enamored with this ship.
"Customer satisfaction is the best reward for us."
"Come with me, I'll show you inside."
Seeing that Kazu and the others were very satisfied with the ship, Iceburg finally felt relieved.
The group began to look around from the bow deck, and Iceburg introduced every corner of the ship to Kazu and the others.
The ship's luxury made it seem less like a pirate ship and more like a magnificent palace floating on the sea.
"This ship uses the most luxurious materials we could find; these are rare treasures in the world."
"The final cost was 8 billion Beli, and we will refund the rest to you."
That's right, it cost much more than Iceburg had initially expected, mainly because Iceburg had visited Kazu several times over the past year.
Each time, the other party would bring up new demands, and they kept increasing their workload.
For example, the design of the dragon head and tail, as well as the hollowed-out craftsmanship of the entire hull, are among them.
"I've made up my mind. This ship will be our new ship from now on, and I'm going to give it a proper name, just like our new partner."
" Divine Dragon!"
That's its name.
Kazu was quite excited; he was so fond of the ship that he couldn't wait to hop on and sail the seas right now.
