With Keya's guarantee, the main purpose of coming to the village on this island was solved.
Coincidentally, another kind-hearted butler in Keya's mansion, Mr. Merlin, who was wearing a sheepskin hat, was building a ship that he had always wanted to build, the Golden Merlin (Forward Merlin).
This ship was the work of Mr. Merlin. He planned to use it to thank Luffy and Link for their kindness.
The construction of the ship was almost complete. Link, Sauron, and the others who had arrived earlier would have to wait a few days.
In response, Luffy, who was about to obtain his first pirate ship, patted his chest and said that there was no need to be anxious.
Link also found Meryl.
"Do you need me to use some better materials to build it?”
Hearing Link's request, the gentle Mary's sheepskin hat trembled.
"Yes. After all, it concerns our first pirate ship. Of course, we hope that it can be built better in all aspects.”
Link said sincerely.
Of course, he didn't want the Merry to collapse in the Capital of Seven Waters, even if the materials available weren't enough to support the subsequent voyage.
Link could accept the fact that the Merry would be repaired and modified, but he couldn't bear to see Luffy burn it down.
Therefore, he hoped that May could use better materials to make the future Mei Li withstand the storm and arrive at the Capital of Seven Waters safely.
After that, he would undergo a complete makeover. This was the best outcome in Link's opinion.
" Well, it could be built better, but the materials now…"
" I won't lie to you, Mr. Link. The Golden Mely is my blood and sweat. The materials I used to build it have reached the highest level that we can afford."”
"If you want to upgrade the Merry, you will need to spend a huge amount of Bailey.”
" How much do you need?!"
Link asked immediately.
"At least ten million Bailey. After all, the materials required are not cheap. Some of them are not even available to us…"
Maylie shook his head and said," The price is already in the tens of millions. We can totally build or buy a better ship. We don't need to use it on the Golden Maylie…"
What he meant was obvious. With Bailey worth tens of millions, he could completely ignore the Merry.
Moreover, using this money to buy materials on the Merry was a waste of talent.
"Is 20 million Bailey enough?"
Before Maylie could finish, Link said,
"…20 million Bailey?!!"
Mr. Merlin's eyes widened. He was also shocked by this number.
"Well, to be exact, it's 23 million Bailey.”
Link nodded.
"You don't have to worry. We will pay for this. We hope that Mr. May will use all this money to build the May. If there is any surplus, you can give us some suitable tools for the ship.”
"Mr. Link…"
Merlin stared at him blankly, then suddenly grabbed Link's hand.
"I didn't expect Mr. Link to have such a passion for ships!!”
Tears welled up in Melly's eyes." I didn't expect to be able to build such a ship at my age. Thank you for making my dream come true, Mr. Link!" Thank you so much!"
Err…
Link was only slightly stunned by Merlin's sudden enthusiasm and gratitude. He quickly recovered and said firmly,
"The ship is the second partner of a sailor. We will never relax in this aspect!!”
"Mr. Link!"
Mr. Merlin felt like he had found a soulmate. He told Link that he would use the best materials to help complete the construction of the ship.
Both parties were having a very pleasant conversation. At this time, Sauron also quietly came over.
"Do we have that much money?"
In the East China Sea, there were only three or four Great Pirates with a bounty of more than ten million Bailey. Solon remembered that the highest bounty was only the 20 million Bailey bounty of the Murloc called Ah Long.
Crick, the overlord of the East Sea, only had a reward of 17 million Bailey.
And even if they seized the inventory of the Baki Pirates, they would only get ten million Bailey.
Adding on Arita's previous harvest, it was impossible to reach the level of 20 million Bailey.
"I don't have any at the moment, so I asked Mr. May to pay for some first.”
Link replied with a smile.
" What do you mean?" Solon understood the other meaning." At the moment…You mean you'll have one in two days?"”
"About two to three days…Do you remember how we helped the residents rebuild the town in Orange Town?”
"Help rebuild? Did we…Wait, you mean?”
Solon was stunned at first, but then he immediately reacted.
"Yes, I am."
Link nodded." In two days, the Black Cat Pirates that I promised Crowe will be here. There are three officers with high rewards on board!!”
"Using their bounty as funds to build the pirate ship is enough.”
The main members of the Black Cat Pirates were the Black Cat brothers, Budge and Sam. Both of them had a bounty of seven million Bailey.
As for Zango, the hypnotist who was previously the vice-captain and now the captain, he had a bounty of nine million Bailey.
The three of them added up to 23 million Bailey.
