Taking out the map of Water 7, Luffy waved and called Nami over
"We will enter directly from here, and then follow the waterway to the most important dock No. 1 of Galley-La Company."
Nami nodded and gestured OK, and quickly took the map and began to give orders.
On the small round table next to him, Kujaku put down her coffee cup elegantly and asked Luffy in confusion:
"Why don't we go shopping in the city first? I'm quite interested in shopping."
Beside her, Olivia, who boarded the warship as Luffy's employee, was talking to Ain non-stop.
Ain nodded in agreement from time to time, and it seemed that the two of them were chatting quite happily.
Hearing her question, Luffy walked to the round table and sat down, supporting his chin with his hand and said indifferently:
"If you want to go shopping, you can go there by yourself when you get to Dock No. 1.
I want to meet the mayor here first, Iceburg, to ask how the preparations for the new ship are going."
"It's still early. Maybe Dr. Vegapunk hasn't even finished drawing the blueprint yet."
Ain, who had just finished talking to Olivia, interrupted.
She estimated that they would have to stay near Water 7 for at least three months before the new ship could be completed.
"You underestimate Vegapunk." Luffy shook his head and disagreed.
"The air battleship may be a little troublesome for others.
But for the world's smartest, if he wants to, he can make it in a day or two."
"Is it true? Is Vegapunk so smart?"
Ain asked doubtfully.
But this time, Luffy didn't need to explain. Olivia took the initiative to speak.
"If it was him, then Luffy is right.
I had heard of Vegapunk before when I was at the Marine Research Institute.
For a job like this, where the world government already has the relevant technology and only needs to integrate and optimize it, it would be easy for Vegapunk to do it."
Seeing that Olivia, who was barely considered a scientist, admired Vegapunk so much.
Ain nodded in understanding and believed what they said.
Under Nami's control, the ship quickly turned and entered the Water 7.
Hancock and Hina also ended their quarrel at this time and walked over together.
As a big customer of the Water 7, as soon as the marine warship appeared, someone took the initiative to approach it..
When they learned that their target was Dock No. 1, the guide said nothing and enthusiastically guided them to the target smoothly.
Looking at the guide who turned around and left without asking for money after helping,
Luffy couldn't help but sigh that the marine really had face in the Water 7.
And when they really entered Dock No. 1, this was further confirmed.
Paulie is one of the three current foremen of Galley-La Company.
When Luffy and his party just arrived, someone tipped him off.
Hearing that the visitor was from the marine, he immediately threw away his work with joy and excitedly went to greet him.
The subordinate who came to report hesitantly stopped him and whispered awkwardly:
"Brother Paulie, they are the marine.
They are also with the world government agents, along with Lucci and his men who were undercover spy before.
Do you think we should..."
Before the subordinate could finish his words, he was interrupted by Paulie.
"Stop talking nonsense, the marine is the marine, and the agents are the agents.
Do you know how many orders the marine places in our company every year and how much remuneration it pays? If we annoy the marine, we will all have to beg for food.
Come on, stop talking nonsense, follow me to greet these gentlemen who are giving us money."
After saying that, Paulie didn't care what his younger brother thought and ran.
In fact, there was one thing he didn't say, that is, he owed a large sum of Berries from gambling recently.
Now he hopes that the marine will place more orders and purchase a few big ones so that he can have money to pay off his debts.
When he saw Luffy and his companions being warmly entertained by the shipwright from a distance, he didn't care about the shameless clothes of the women around him. He hurriedly greeted them, making his way, and greeted Luffy, who was obviously a big shot, with a smile:
"Welcome, all the friends from the marine are welcome to visit Galley-La Company.
I am one of the foremen here. If you have any questions or needs, please feel free to tell me."
Looking at the man in front of him wearing goggles and a blue work suit, Luffy had a vague impression of him.
He smiled and stretched out his hand, thanking her politely:
"Thank you for your help, Mr. Foreman. We will not disturb you too much since this is a work place.
Please arrange for someone to take me to meet with Mayor Iceburg. I have something to discuss with him about the new warship."
"F*** yeah, a new ship!" Paulie clapped his hands excitedly.
After seeing Luffy's surprised look, he smiled and quickly added:
"I mean, it is my honor to contribute to the justice of the marine.
Don't worry, once the blueprint are finalized, I will personally lead people to expedite the production for you.
I will ensure that the quality does not decline and the ship is built for you as soon as possible."
Luffy admired his attitude very much, shook hands with him with satisfaction, and thanked him:
"Thank you very much, Mr. Foreman. I will also ask for more orders from you in the future."
"As it should be, as it should be."
When Paulie heard that there were more orders, his mouth stretched to the back of his ears.
It turned out that these marine were easy to talk to. Just flatter them a few times and the future salary would be settled.
'I am so capable, Mr. Iceberg should at least give me a bonus.'
Just as Paulie was imagining a bright future, a loud noise interrupted his thoughts.
Luffy also noticed the problem, and the two of them looked towards the place where the commotion occurred, wanting to know what was going on.
Outside Dock No. 1, a group of guys in black suits, who were not polite and dressed like gangsters, blocked the entrance of the dock.
The leader was a shabby purple-haired man wearing a weird mask and with his right hand tied in plaster and hanging around his neck.
Spandam has been in a bad mood in recent days.
Not only because his plan to steal Pluto's blueprints was destroyed by the Revolutionary Army.
More importantly, he failed to catch the original CP9 members headed by Rob Lucci.
Every time he thought about the fact that he failed to eradicate the roots, he got scared because he might be targeted and assassinated by those monsters at any time.
He was so scared that he couldn't sleep all night, and he was even so timid that he had to bring dozens of world government agents with him wherever he went.
