Chapter 125 Arriving at the 7 Water Capitals
The people on the deck of the Meili were all looking at the train approaching from a distance in shock.
"What is that iron monster!!!"
Luffy yelled, his mouth wide open in shock, so wide it could even fit a human head into it.
Nami was also very surprised, "Is it a boat? No! There's no way such a weird thing can float on the sea!!!"
The three Robins also walked out of the training ground at this time.
"That's a steam train! But why can this train run on the sea?!?" Even Robin, who is well-read, was extremely surprised when he saw the train in front of him.
At this time, Luffy noticed the direction of the train, looked at the frog in the distance, and shouted anxiously, "Hey, frog! Run away! What are you still dawdling about!!!"
"Quack!!!" the frog yelled, unmoved. Two bulging frog eyes stared closely at the train rushing toward him.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the train mercilessly hit the frog.
The frog was directly hit by the train and flew into the sky, falling into the sea in the distance and disappearing.
"Wow, it was hit!!! I don't know if it's okay! It's so disgusting, it's obviously my prey!!" Luffy was shocked and regretful at the same time.
"It's called Yokozuna. For some reason, it has been competing with the sea train for many years. It will be fine." Yu Chen explained from behind.
"Sea train?" Most people were wondering why the train could travel on the sea, but Luffy was paying attention to something else.
"Competition? Many years?" Luffy laughed, "He is really a persevering frog. If so, I won't eat it!"
After the train disappeared from sight, Yu Chen said, "Let's go to the platform and have a look."
"Platform?" Luffy asked confused.
"It's the little house by the lighthouse!"
The Meili quickly crossed the 100-meter distance and docked at the platform.
At this time, a little girl suddenly jumped out of the house, shouting: "No, grandma, grandma, the pirates are coming!"
The little girl has a short body, light green hair with two upward braids, and a pair of big eyes. A small blue pet squatted next to him, which looked a bit cute.
Her shout summoned an old woman with a fat body and wrinkles on her face. She said drunkenly, "Really, wait, wait a minute, Qimone."
The little girl, whom the old woman called Zimoni, hurriedly took out a phone bug from the room and handed it to the old woman.
Zoro frowned, "Are you calling for support?"
The caller was quickly connected, and the old woman said, "Ah, hello!?! Well, what was I going to say? I've forgotten it! Hiccup..."
The call ended with a loud belch.
Usopp and Zoro immediately complained, "Turns out he is an alcoholic!!!"
Yu Chen was the first to jump onto the platform, took out some snacks and gave them to Qimoni, and also got a plate of snacks for the old lady.
"Thank you, big brother!" Qimoni expressed his gratitude obediently.
The old woman ate, took another sip of wine, and said with a smile, "I just like drinking, don't mind. I am Cocoro, the stationmaster of this mobile maritime station. This is my granddaughter Qimoni and her My pet Kunbei. You guys are not train robbers, right? Quack, quack, quack."
Luffy came over with the others. After hearing what Kokoro said, he immediately introduced himself, "My name is Luffy, and I am the man who wants to become the Pirate King!"
"Quack, quack, you are really an interesting man." Kokoro took another sip of wine and continued: "Now, are you coming to the station to take the sea train to where you want to go?"
Several people recalled the sea train that had just passed by. Nami asked, "Is that really a train? But how does it sail on the sea?"
"It is driven by a steam engine and moves along a track in the sea." Zimoni explained.
"track?"
"Yes, the track is not too deep under the water! Trains run on the same track every day, transporting passengers. Sometimes they also transport ships and cargo."
Everyone looked into the water and found that there was really a track suspended under the sea.
"It's true! Someone can actually build something as magical as a sea train." Usopp sighed.
"Hehe, you haven't seen this kind of thing before. It's called [Smoking Tom], and it's unique in the world!!!"
Zimoni explained excitedly, seeming to be very proud of the sea train.
Granny Cocoluo asked again, "Then where do you want to go? If you get on the train from the station here, you can go to the Queen of Spring Town, St. Poplar, the Food Town of Butch, and the Carnival Town of St. Falter. They are all. Some very nice places. If you are someone with connections to the government, there is also a special train!"
Just from the names of these places mentioned by Grandma Cocoluo, everyone can feel that they are some happy places.
"That's it! Then let's go to Food Town!" Luffy blurted out directly. It was a town famous for its food. What a temptation it was to him.
"Are you mistaken? We have a boat! Which train should we take? We just need to follow the record pointer!"
Nami directly rewarded Luffy with a chestnut.
"Oh?" Granny Kokoro glanced at the record pointer on Nami's wrist, "North. It seems that you are going to the Capital of Seven Waters. It is also very good there. The record needs to be saved for a week, you can have fun as much as you like. Ichiban.”
"The Capital of Seven Waters!"
Luffy and the others were happy and surprised when they heard the name. Fortunately, there is a future companion here. I was surprised that I arrived at the Capital of Seven Waters so quickly. Before going to Sky Island, Yu Chen had already talked about the original fate of the Meili. Is Meili going to leave them so soon?
Usopp looked at the Merry with a worried look.
Luffy patted Usopp on the shoulder and comforted, "Don't worry, we have so much gold now, there is definitely hope that the Merry can be repaired!"
"Do you need to repair your boat? I happen to know the top boatman in the Capital of Seven Waters. I will give you a letter of introduction. Then you can go directly to him." Granny Cocoluo finished speaking without leaving the bottle of wine. He took another sip.
"Really?" Usopp excitedly stepped forward and held Granny Kokoro's hand, "I'm so grateful to you, Granny Kokoro."
"Quack, quack, it's a small thing."
After a while, Granny Cocoluo wrote a letter and handed it to Nami.
"Take this. This is a letter of introduction and a brief map of the city. The City of Seven Waters is very big. Don't get lost. We will go back to the City of Seven Waters soon. I'll treat you to two drinks then. Quack Gaga." Granny Cocoluo smiled happily. He seems to be happy that he has met some interesting guys.
"Grandma Kokoro, Qimoni, thank you!" Luffy took the lead in expressing his thanks.
After saying goodbye to Kokoro, everyone returned to the Meili and headed for the Capital of Seven Waters.
On the way, Luffy asked distressedly: "Well, should we go find Franky first, or should we go find the person introduced by Granny Kokoro?"
Yu Chen glanced at Robin, thought for a while, and said, "There is no point in looking for Franky. Although his craftsmanship is top-notch, he is currently in the shipbreaking business. If you come to the door now, you won't be able to do it." He promised to help us repair the ship. After we get to the island, we can go separate ways."
"Nami and I will go to the money exchange place together. We will exchange all the treasures found in Nolan's belly."
"Luffy and Usopp are in a group. You go find the man introduced by Granny Kokoro. He is in the highest area of the island."
"Webb and Zoro are in a group. You can go to the weapons store and go shopping. The gun you made yourself, Weber, is a bit too casual. Why don't you change it to a handy one. Zoro, help Weber take a look at it together. Some advice. Although there is little hope, you can help me keep an eye on it. The heavier it is, the better."
"Robin and Chopper are in a group. You can wander around as you like. There should be many bookstores here."
"Sanji is staying behind on the Merry."
"With this arrangement, do you have any questions?"
After hearing this, everyone had no objections and all agreed.
Yu Chen took out a few Junior Detective Team badges from the warehouse. These were random supplies that he had received a few days ago, and he had already taught everyone how to use them. Conan's positionable glasses were also distributed, but he didn't take them out.
The pattern on the badge was also changed by "Painting Master" Usopp into the logo of the Straw Hats (black background, plus a white skull pattern with a straw hat).
With this thing, it will be much more convenient for everyone to move separately. If there is any emergency, you can use the badge to contact us.
There were only four badges, Yuchen used one himself, and he gave the other three to Usopp, Robin, and Sanji who stayed behind on the Merry.
Yu Chen also reminded the group without badges. "Webber, you two are strong enough on the island. If necessary, you can go back to the ship or go to the shipyard to find Luffy and the others. But you must always pay attention to Zoro's movements. He can easily get lost. Lost."
"Hey, Yu Chen, it's wrong for you to say that. I don't want to lose face!" Sauron had a cold face, extremely dissatisfied with Yu Chen's words.
Seeing this, Sanji immediately launched a verbal attack on Zoro, "Oh, does the green algae head actually have face? Yu Chen is just telling the truth, you are just a stupid road idiot."
"What did you say? You idiot perverted cook!"
"You are said to be a road idiot! Green algae head!"
"Asshole! You want to fight, don't you?"
"Come on, who is afraid of whom?"
The two Zoro soon became noisy and went to the training ground to fight.
Others have become accustomed to it, and they don't bother to stop these two guys as long as they are not doing something serious.
Luffy eagerly approached Usopp, "Hey, Usopp, take the badge with me! I'm the captain, how can I not have the badge!"
Usopp sternly refused, "No! The first time Yu Chen took it out to teach us, you broke one. If it weren't for you, how could Zoro and the others not have badges this time. For such a delicate little thing , I will definitely not let you touch it!"
