Chapter 19 Ready to Sail(1/2)

Samwell Island, Pier.

With the local sheriffs lined up to see off, Garen, Nami, Wallace and Taritian set off on their sea boat together.

Or, from then on, their sea ships belong to them.

The original owner of this ship was the Steel Knife Pirates. There was also a pirate flag of the Steel Knife Pirates - two crossed swords, a not-terrifying skull, and the composition was extremely mediocre.

Garen was not a pirate, and he was not interested in being a pirate, so the first thing he did when he got on the ship was to remove the ugly pirate flag.

With the Steel Knife himself set up in the box, this pirate ship naturally became a spoil that Garen could make.

But Galen himself was not satisfied with the ship:

The ordinary-style brig-powered wooden boat has large black and yellow stains on the old canvas, and the deck that has not been cleaned and maintained for many years is also corroded by the sea water.

In addition to the hygiene problems of the Steel Knife Pirates, the ship also appears extremely dilapidated:

A mast was obviously a scrap product that was temporarily roughly repaired by external force after being broken by steel plate and nails. There were several large holes with charred burning marks on the deck and hull, and the diameter of the gap was so large that it could block the huge Tairitian.

Obviously, the Steel Knife Pirates had had a fierce artillery battle with an enemy before, and before they could repair it, they rushed to Samwell Island to chase Nami who stole their treasures.

The maintenance work of the former owner was not in place, which made Garen, who took over the second-hand ship, feels very troubled.

"Can't we change the search ship?"

Garen couldn't help saying to Nami:

"This ship is too broken, I suspect it will sink to the bottom of the sea if it drives out..."

"Don't worry!"

Nami said indifferently:

"It's just that the upper deck and port hull were damaged. The mast, sail, rudder, and watertight cabin were not bad. There was absolutely no problem with it for sailing at sea!"

"And..."

As Nami said, two golden Bailey symbols appeared in her eyes:

"Double-layer artillery deck, super long keel, and a vast internal cabin..."

"This medium-sized armed sea ship is slightly renovated, and it will be a big income if it is sold!"

"I see..."

Garen's eyes lit up:

"That way, my income is more than ten million Baileys!"

Galen bite the word "I" very hard.

"You actually want to take it alone? I obviously have a share!"

Nami's face suddenly became gloomy.

"Although it can be considered a contribution to attracting monsters..."

"But, I don't need to pay 50% of the money with the temporary worker who owes me my life..."

Galen said lightly that the instinct of the civilians in the market is undoubtedly revealed:

"Why don't you wait until you arrive in Roger Town, and you can try to steal it with the ship and the money?"

"snort!"

Nami's face turned slightly red by being squeezed, so she had to respond to Garen with a light hum without lethality.

As a little thief cat who has been eased in the mission, this is the first time Nami has experienced the feeling of "embarrassment".

Because this time the "task" is also different from the past:

The canned iron in front of me not only clearly knew that I was a thief, but also had a vague understanding of my background and experience.

Being exposed to your identity is a taboo for thieves. Faced with this situation, the best solution is to fly away as soon as possible.

But Nami was unwilling to leave here.

Not only because of the 10 million Baileys I might get, but also because...

Nami met a fool who knew she was a thief and wanted to help her for the first time...

It was also the first time I got rid of my identity as a thief and received a job called Navigator.

Navigator, not thief cat.

This is Nami's dream.

In just one day, she felt the long-lost beauty.

Thinking of this, Nami's mouth unconsciously grinned a warm curve.

Then, Garen interrupted Nami's thoughts with a joke:

"Nami, if you want to share the money..."

"It's a good choice to be a Knight's Lady."

"roll!"

Nami's smile that had not yet bloomed instantly froze on her face.

"Madam Knight? Is this a proposal?"

Wallace's eyes lit up and said to himself with a little excitement:

"So the relationship between Lord Garen and Miss Nami has developed to this point?"

Wallace pushed the frame on the bridge of his nose, then took out paper and pen from his arms and recorded it silently.

Nami quietly leaned over and saw that the previous plot of "The Beautiful Thief abandoned the dark and turned to the light" has been once again perfected by Wallace into a bizarre and tortuous love story between the Justice Knight and the villain thief.

"Hello!"

Nami clenched her fists in shame and annoyance:

"Delete this paragraph for me! Otherwise I..."

Before the threat was expressed, Wallace responded without changing his expression:

"As a journalist, I will not give up reporting the truth because of power!"

"Where is this real?"

Nami asked with a red face.

Wallace's expression was still calm:

"The appropriate plot is prominent, which can increase the readability of news reports."

“This is just a basic writing skill that a contributor needs to master.”

Nami was so angry that she couldn't speak.

After writing this passage, Wallace carefully reviewed the manuscript in his hand without any disturbance by Nami's anger.

It took a long time before Wallace woke up from his concentration on work and asked with some concern:

"Miss Nami, which route are we taking this time?"

"How many days will it take to get to Roger Town?"

Galen killed 10 million pirate steel swords, which is already a big news that can catch people's attention in the weakest sea of ​​East China.

The Donghai Daily, where Wallace works, is a local newspaper specifically for the Donghai area.

As an overseas field journalist with lofty ideals, Wallace, who has already made big news, now only wants to return to the newspaper as soon as possible and use the fresh story of "Justice Garen" he discovered to prove his ability as a journalist.

After all, he is a professional navigator. As soon as Nami was asked about this question, she answered without hesitation:

"This time I am going to sail along the route close to the windless belt, which is just enough to take advantage of the natural power of the ocean currents around the East."

"We can get to Roger Town in two days by taking this route, which saves a full double the time than taking a passenger ship."

"Do you use the East China Sea circulation close to the windless belt?"

Wallace, who was familiar with the customs and customs of the East China Sea, immediately heard the mystery hidden behind it. He couldn't help but exclaim:

"It seems that Miss Nami has a great attainment in navigation!"

This route is close to the windless belt, where the wind direction is treacherous and changeable, and the weather changes greatly. If the sea boat is not careful, it will be pushed to death by the wind and waves. The Jedi windless belt is fed to the Neptune.

Without extremely advanced meteorology and oceanography knowledge as the basis, ordinary navigators dare not take the risk of taking the fleet on that route.

"That's of course!"

"I am the best sailor in the East China Sea!"

Miss Nami accepted Wallace’s praise without any slouch.

"Very good!"

Wallace also said happily:

“News are time-sensitive.”
