Clang, clang, clang...
Clang, clang, clang...
The pirates huddled together, staring blankly at a group of strange, blocky creatures moving in and out of their former ship.
Yang Tao sat in an office chair on the bow, watching the Tinkers' Construct Blacksmith direct other blacksmiths as they hammered various parts of the ship, holding different materials.
Clang, clang, clang...
The originally wooden ship now had a metallic sheen.
Alvida looked at the pirate ship, which had undergone earth-shattering changes, and felt as if she were dreaming.
"Captain, what race are they?"
"Villagers, a group of kind and simple beings. Hmm... the Green Robe swimming in the sea doesn't count. Oh, right, find someone to pull him out of the sea. The ship will be repaired soon."
Alvida: 'You call this 'repairing'?'
It could be said that this ship had undergone changes in every aspect except its style; rather than being repaired, it was more like a completely new ship had been built.
But the speed of this shipbuilding was simply too exaggerated.
Alvida waved at the pirates, who had become like quails, and ordered, "The ropes on the ship..."
"Use a net!"
Yang Tao added. If they used a rope, it would be a miracle if the Green Robe came up; he realized that the Green Robe's main characteristic was being a free spirit.
Alvida: "..."
After Alvida left with her people to cast the net for the Green Robe, their netting skills were excellent since they had lived on ships for many years.
It only took two nets, and the Green Robe, who was swimming, was pulled up in the net.
"Great Demon King, help!"
Yang Tao: "..."
Just then, the Tinkers' Construct Blacksmith came to Yang Tao and said, "Brave Sir, the ship has been completely refitted."
"The ship's defensive capabilities have greatly improved, but its weight has increased significantly, and its power might be somewhat insufficient."
Yang Tao was silent for a moment. This ship had already been refitted with a propeller device, and the motor device was something he had specifically brought back from the Spider-Man world.
Perhaps the power was a bit low...
"Let's make do for now. We'll upgrade it when we have time..."
"I... I have a way!"
The Green-robed Villager, wrapped in the fishing net, suddenly shouted. Hearing this, Yang Tao instantly appeared beside him, tearing the net open with his hands and looking at the Green-robed Villager with fervent eyes.
"Brother, I was just worried you'd encounter danger swimming in the sea, so I told them to call you up. Who knew they'd use such a terrible method? Your brother apologizes here."
Saying that, Yang Tao helped the Green Robe up and brushed off non-existent dust from his body: "Oh, right, you just said you had a way?"
The Green Robe tilted his head slightly, looking as if he was the only one capable, and reached into his clothes, pulling out a brown cube.
It was about 40 centimeters long. After the Green Robe held it, the object floated directly in his palm, and its 'shell' gradually separated, revealing a blue orb in the middle.
Seeing this, Yang Tao's pupils dilated, and he was greatly shocked internally.
'Indeed! The Heart of the Sea is on you, you rascal!'
"Install it at the bottom of the ship, and this ship will receive the blessing of the ocean, thereby gaining the power of the Heart of the Sea."
Yang Tao reached out and took the Heart of the Sea, but in his hand, it immediately shrank into its unactivated state.
He handed it to the Tinkers' Construct Blacksmith, who would surely know where to place it appropriately.
Normally, the Heart of the Sea requires a frame to activate, but from the Green Robe's words, it seemed it only needed to be placed in seawater.
When activated, the Heart of the Sea provides the 'Conduit Power' effect to players in contact with water within a 32-96 block radius. This effect grants players permanent underwater breathing, underwater night vision, and underwater haste.
"Wait..."
Just as the Tinkers' Construct Blacksmith was about to leave, the Green-robed Villager called out to him, reached into his chest again, and pulled out a blue slab. Its material looked somewhat like prismarine from a game.
The slab also had blue patterns on it.
"Melt it into the ship. This way, the ship will become lighter on the sea..."
[Armor Trim Smithing Template: Tide]
(Has a 20% chance to drop upon killing an Elder Guardian.)
Yang Tao: "..."
He placed his hands on the Green Robe's shoulders and said solemnly, "Brother, if you're in creative mode, just nod. From today on, I'll work for you. Pull out a Sword of the Cosmos for your brother to play with..."
The Green Robe scratched his head and said, "Only things you can't obtain in the world will appear with me..."
"Well, I can't obtain the Sword of the Cosmos either, so that's fine!"
"I really don't have that..."
"You can have this!"
The Green Robe rummaged around and pulled out a white [Phantom Membrane], saying, "This is the last thing on me."
Phantom Membrane? Yang Tao thought for a moment; it seemed he really couldn't obtain this item. He hadn't seen Phantoms spawn even when he didn't sleep.
Taking the Phantom Membrane, Yang Tao, feeling a bit melancholic, patted the Green Robe's shoulder and said earnestly, "If they ever lock you up again, come find me. I'll take care of it for you!"
Hehe~
The Green Robe smiled happily, but he didn't consider how he would find Yang Tao if he was locked up by other Villagers.
...
In East Blue, the setting sun dyed the sky red. Yang Tao sat at the bow, supervising Alvida as she practiced her Devil Fruit ability.
She was just sliding in circles on the ship, similar to ice skating.
At this moment, a pirate excitedly ran over and said, "Captain, we've arrived! That's the Sea Restaurant Baratie ahead!"
Yang Tao looked at the pirate who brought the news and said with a smile, "It took two days to find it. And you guys, why didn't you tell me there was a navigator among those who were thrown off the ship before?"
But he also blamed himself for not asking clearly.
Standing up, he gazed into the distance. In the calm sea, a huge ship was anchored—it was the Mackerel Head No. 1, the Sea Restaurant.
This ship looked magnificent and grand. A four-story high wooden circular restaurant was built on its deck, which looked somewhat exaggerated.
"Bring the ship alongside! Let's go taste Red Foot Zeff's cooking!"
The warship, now named 9527 by Yang Tao, quickly approached the Sea Restaurant Baratie.
Many ships were already docked near the Mackerel Head No. 1. Looking at the flags on the masts, there were both Marine and pirate ships among them. This was also a characteristic of Baratie; generally, East Blue pirates and Marines would not clash near the restaurant.
"Half of you stay and guard the ship. The rest of you, follow me to the restaurant to eat. We'll rotate you later."
With that, Yang Tao stepped onto the gangplank of the Mackerel Head No. 1.
A man dressed as a chef stood on the gangplank, rubbing his hands with a fawning expression, and said, "Welcome, gentlemen, please follow me!"
Although this guy looked fawning, Yang Tao recognized his identity.
Patty, originally a fierce pirate, later joined Red Foot Zeff's Sea Restaurant and became a chef.
He was now a chef and combatant at the Sea Restaurant Baratie.
Yang Tao reached out and counted the heads behind him, saying with great enthusiasm, "Fourteen people. Bring out all your specialties!"
