章節 79: "A New Journey with the Going Merry: Chaos, Cannons, and New Allies"
The morning sun bathed the Going Merry in a golden glow as the Straw Hat Pirates set sail on their new, magical ship. Luffy was practically bouncing with excitement as he explored every corner of their new vessel, while the rest of the crew eagerly inspected the upgrades and unique features that Raja had infused into the ship.
"This ship is amazing!" Luffy shouted, looking over the Going Merry's sturdy frame and elegant carvings. His grin stretched from ear to ear as he ran his hand along the bow.
"Look at that craftsmanship," Usopp said, already imagining himself steering the vessel through dangerous waters. "But…we need a proper Jolly Roger to really make this ship ours!"
Usopp's artistic side kicked in, and with Raja's assistance, he began sketching a new design on the sail. Raja handed him a magical cloth and alchemy paints. "This isn't just any cloth," Raja explained with a grin. "It's tear-proof and resistant to fire, water, and even lightning. Those paints? They're designed to withstand the elements too."
Usopp's eyes sparkled. "Raja, you're a genius!" With new inspiration, he took the brush and began painting, creating a fierce yet quirky Straw Hat Jolly Roger.
After admiring the flag, Usopp turned back to Raja. "Hey, think you can upgrade my arsenal too? You know…for the 'Captain Usopp' flair?"
Raja chuckled, "Anything for the ship's 'sniper,'" he replied, already thinking of clever ways to enhance Usopp's gear.
As they continued to explore, Luffy and Usopp came across a cannon hidden in a compartment. The look of excitement on their faces was immediate.
"Let's test it out!" Luffy said, his enthusiasm barely contained.
The two took aim at a distant rock, and with a deafening BOOM, the cannonball blasted through the air, striking the rock dead-on. Luffy's laughter rang across the deck as Usopp cheered, "Bullseye! We're unstoppable!"
The crew gathered in the main cabin to strategize for the journey ahead. "Alright," Nami said, laying out a rough map of the Grand Line, "we'll need food, medical supplies, and someone skilled at cooking. We can't just rely on fruit; we'll all get scurvy!"
But before they could delve into details, an unexpected shout from above deck startled them. They hurried out to find a stranger charging at them, shouting about "pirate scum."
Luffy stepped forward, fists ready, to meet their unexpected guest. With one swift punch, he knocked the stranger back, only for Zoro to recognize him as Johnny, a fellow bounty hunter.
"Luffy, you knocked out my friend!" Zoro sighed, scratching his head.
Johnny scrambled to his feet, shaking his head in confusion. "You…pirate hunter Zoro?! What are you doing with pirates?"
Johnny quickly explained his dilemma: his partner, Yosaku, was lying ill on a nearby rock, suffering from scurvy.
The crew quickly agreed to help. Nami took charge, feeding Yosaku some fruit to alleviate his symptoms. The two bounty hunters were touched by the crew's willingness to help. "If it weren't for you, we'd be goners," Johnny said, wiping a tear.
"Hey, we're all in this together," Luffy grinned. "You guys just need more meat!"
As a gesture of thanks, Johnny and Yosaku offered to guide them to the Baratie, a famous floating restaurant known for its great food—and, potentially, a great cook.
The Going Merry sailed smoothly, and soon they approached the unique structure of the Baratie. Shaped like a giant fish, it looked as though it was ready to gobble up any ships that came too close.
"Whoa!" Usopp marveled. "That's a restaurant?"
But before they could dock peacefully, they spotted a Marine ship approaching them. Tension quickly mounted as the crew realized it was led by Lieutenant Iron Fist Fullbody, a pompous Marine with a grin as smug as his attitude was sour.
"Pirates like you don't deserve a ship this fine!" Fullbody sneered. "Sink that vessel!"
"Excuse me?" Nami growled, eyeing Fullbody like he was a fly needing swatting. Luffy, however, didn't waste time with words and ran straight for the cannon.
"Luffy, wait!" Usopp yelled, but it was too late. Luffy fired a shot back at the Marines, but in his excitement, he misjudged the angle, and the cannonball veered off, smashing into the side of the Baratie.
"Oh no…" Usopp whispered, face paling.
Moments later, the furious head chef, Captain Zeff, marched up to them, his tall hat casting a shadow that was just as intimidating as his glare. "Which one of you brats owes me for that?"
Luffy looked around sheepishly. "Uh…that might've been me?"
Zeff crossed his arms, his face unreadable. "So, are you planning on paying for the damages or working it off?"
"Working?" Luffy echoed, horrified. But seeing no way out, he nodded reluctantly. "Fine! I'll work…right after I eat!"
The rest of the crew burst into laughter, and even Zeff couldn't help but smirk at the absurdity of the situation.
