Chapter 215: Chapter 213: The Brand New Black Pearl!
Rifan knew; if the new Black Pearl used the alloy that Chopper synthesised using his new devil fruit, his new ship would become indestructible.
"Hee hee, I accidentally synthesised a new metal," Chopper said excitedly. "It can automatically restore its original shape, so I named it a rambo alloy!"
"Captain Rifan, has your research been completed? Do you need my help?" Chopper walked up to Rifan and asked.
"It's done. Here's the relevant information, Chopper," Rifan said, handing over the documents. "Remember to destroy this information after reading it. It just needs to be recorded in our heads."
"Yes, Captain Rifan," Chopper nodded solemnly. Though ignorant in some ways, he understood the value and potential dangers of the G virus strengthening potion. If such a potion became known to outsiders, the Black Pearl Pirates would become targets of public criticism.
"Next, it's time to fuse the ship." Rifan approached the new Black Pearl and examined it closely. Then, he took out the bottle containing the original Black Pearl from his personal inventory.
As the main force behind building the ship, Franky naturally followed closely, eager to see what Rifan was going to do. Rifan opened the bottle as usual, and the model-like black Pearl quickly began to swell after entering the water, growing into a normal small three-masted sailing ship.
Afterwards, Rifan accessed his personal attribute panel and activated the fusion ship authority obtained when the Black Pearl Pirates upgraded to level 3.
The next moment, a dazzling light enveloped the Black Pearl and the warship-sized ships built by Franky. After a while, the two ships approached slowly, as if being drawn by some mysterious force, and finally merged together like water droplets.
"It really merged?!" Franky exclaimed.
"Captain Rifan, can you really fit this ship into this bottle as usual?" Mikita rubbed her eyes, as if she couldn't believe what she saw.
"It's natural," Rifan smiled and immediately experimented with fitting the brand-new Black Pearl into the bottle in front of Mikita, Franky, and other members of the Black Pearl Pirates.
Franky stared at the scene with wide eyes. He had already seen Rifan fit a small barque into a bottle, but watching Rifan cram a gigantic vessel capable of seating thousands of people into a vessel the size of a wine bottle that could be grasped in one hand was still quite surprising.
Such a scene was also witnessed by Gion and Hina, who had just followed Robin and Nojiko to buy some daily necessities and returned to the port. They were also quite surprised.
'Did Rifan's ship really gain some kind of Devil Fruit ability!?'
'Vice Admiral Garp failed to catch Rifan that time, not because there was a certain ability user on the ship who could teleport the ship quickly.'
'Is it because of some kind of Devil Fruit that the ship itself can be teleported?'
'If a bigger ship can fit into that bottle.'
'Does that mean this ship also inherits the capabilities of the original ship?'
Gion frowned slightly, lost in thought.
But unlike Gion's astonishment, Hina looked at the ship in front of her and couldn't help but recall what Robin and Nojiko had said when they spoke to her alone.
'Does this ship really have a very interesting room specially designed for Rifan, as Robin and Nojiko said?'
'Will Rifan really let me play with him in those rooms for a while afterward?'
Thinking of the room that Robin said had elements of a prison but was actually a room convenient for Rifan to have fun with his female companions, and other rooms with different elements, Hina's excitement caused her body to tremble slightly.
"Let's go, Hina, Miss Gion, I will take you to the room prepared for you first. Also, I think Miss Hina, you would like to visit 'those' rooms too."
Robin seemed to see through Hina's thoughts, smiling as she pulled the two of them aboard the new Black Pearl and quickly disappeared into the cabin. Rifan and the others didn't stop them.
"It's a pity that organisms can't shrink along with the hull."
"Otherwise, we could escape safely no matter what threats we encounter." Nami shook her head with regret.
"Indeed, for escaping or other purposes, we still have to rely on the power of your Devil Fruit, Carina." Kalifa added.
"Hey, I would be really tired if I had to make myself invisible to such a big ship. Captain Rifan, since you can use Nami's Devil Fruit ability, can you also use mine? Could you help with the invisibility work of the ship?"
Carina playfully poked Rifan's waist with her arm and asked with a smile, "Unfortunately, I can't use your devil fruit power yet, Carina. So, you'll have to handle the invisibility work of the ship by yourself. Having said that, you've become much stronger now. Even if you want to make the new Black Pearl invisible, you can do it. I trust you quite a bit, Carina."
Rifan took a look at Carina's impressive 20,000 points of physique and 93 points of loyalty, patted her on the shoulder, and smiled.
"Although I have indeed become stronger, this new Black Pearl has more than doubled in size."
"Captain Rifan, maybe we should figure out how to make you use my Devil Fruit ability. I remember that as long as I trust you wholeheartedly, you should be able to use my ability. So, Captain Rifan, can you give me a lot of Berries? Maybe that way, I can trust you from the bottom of my heart and fall in love with you."
Carina made an OK gesture and spoke intimately.
"Okay, when I find an opportunity, I'll take you to Gran Tesoro, the world's largest entertainment city ruled by the Golden Emperor. That place is said to be full of gold~"
Upon hearing Rifan's words, Carina and Nami's eyes glistened with thoughts of Gran Tesoro, the world's largest entertainment city, and the prospect of being rich.
"Captain Rifan, this ship has a small aquarium that can hold various fish, and I designed it to store some food. If organisms can't grow and shrink with the boat, wouldn't the aquarium be unusable?"
Franky took a step forward, came to Rifan's side, and frowned.
"Relax, Franky," Rifan said reassuringly. "At the end of the day, it's just that we, the crew, can't grow smaller as the ship shrinks. If it is an animal defined as an ornamental object, or a fish defined as a thing, they are all items that can be stored in my hands along with the Black Pearl."
Rifan laughed.
"So that's the case, then I'm relieved. A pirate ship built with new alloys, treasure trees, and my technology, and it also possesses the mysterious power that you've given, Captain Rifan. This brand new Black Pearl will surely be able to circle the world and become the ship of dreams!"
Franky's eyes reflected the appearance of the new Black Pearl with admiration.
"Naturally, Franky. And, you'll be able to see with your own eyes that this pirate ship you've built becomes the ship of dreams."
Rifan put his hand on Franky's shoulder and said solemnly.
"Would you like to witness the ship you built with your own hands become the pirate ship of your dreams?"
"This goal is truly fascinating!"
The corner of Franky's mouth twitched. At this moment, he only felt the new trend surging, and he wished to set sail with the new Black Pearl immediately.
"[Panda Rifan, your 'Shipwright' Franky's loyalty attribute has been refreshed. Please check it yourself.]"

"Loyalty has finally reached the level of intimacy."
"In this way, Franky also has the conditions to open the final invitation."
Rifan glanced at Franky's personal attributes, then turned to look at Franky's serious face.
As Rifan was contemplating how to make Franky's emotions reach the level required for opening the final invitation copy, a nostalgic light flashed in Franky's eyes, and he murmured:
"If only Mr. Tom knew that my ship would be the same dream pirate ship as the one he built for Roger. I wonder what kind of expression he would have."
[Ding!]
[Rifan, you have triggered Franky's final invitation mission Regret-Once the capital of water 7!]"
