Three days later.
Water 7 was in sight.
"Gyon, the Marines didn't put a bounty on you?" Kevin looked at the latest bounty posters.
Kevin's bounty: 440 million, increased to 500 million.
Hancock and her two sisters had already been given bounties.
Hancock: Bounty 80 million Berries.
Boa Sandersonia: Bounty of 20 million Berries.
Boa Marigold: Bounty of 18 million Berries.
More than 3,000 achievement points were gained.
However, there was no bounty for Gyon, which Kevin had been anticipating.
Mainly because Gyon's bounty would definitely exceed 100 million, even several hundred million, and Kevin had long been looking forward to the achievement points it would bring.
"It's impossible for the Marines not to have found out, right?" Kevin looked at Gyon: "Could it be that the Marines still hold out hope for you?"
Gyon speculated, "They're afraid of losing face and don't want the world to know I betrayed them, and even less do they want people to know that the main culprit behind the Holy Land's invasion was also a Marine."
Kevin looked at the huge outline of Water 7 in the distance.
He began to ponder.
The Marines couldn't be allowed to keep this a secret; if it was exposed, the impact would be even greater, and Gyon's bounty was also very important.
"We'll still split up. Hancock, you continue to buy supplies, and remember... don't just buy mine." Kevin repeatedly reminded Hancock.
"You're the Captain, isn't that how it should be?" Hancock whispered.
Kevin said helplessly, "Next, we won't be buying supplies for a while. Everyone needs them, and Hancock, you need them a lot too. You can't just consider me. I prefer you dressed beautifully, like in a cheongsam."
Currently, Hancock was wearing men's clothing.
It was a bit loose.
She had no change of clothes, so she could only wear Kevin's.
"Cheongsam?" Hancock blinked her large eyes, realizing that Kevin liked her in a cheongsam.
A Pirate Empress without a cheongsam seemed to be missing something.
"I understand." Hancock was full of motivation.
"Buy some clothes from various professions so we can disguise our identities," Kevin instructed very seriously.
Behind him, Gyon couldn't help but pinch Kevin.
Was it really for disguising identities?
"Conceal your identities. Building a ship takes time." After docking, Kevin reminded Hancock, who was wearing a hat.
Kevin and Gyon carried a huge box containing a billion Berries.
They headed to the shipbuilding factory.
They found the Carrera Company, which was already somewhat famous, and sought out its owner, Iceburg, who had not yet become the Mayor of Water 7.
They presented their demands:
"The main structure of the Pirate Crew ship must be entirely made of Adam Wood, with at least one hundred individual bedrooms, a training room, a swimming pool, a library, a lounge... all essential."
Iceburg, upon learning Kevin's identity,
regarded this as the biggest challenge of his life.
"Mr. Kevin, after meeting these conditions, plus a massive weapon system, the weight won't be light, which will affect the speed."
"No weapon system is needed. Cannons are not needed. The ship should preferably be able to travel on land, and even temporarily submerge. If it can instantly burst forward to make the ship fly a certain distance, that would be even better."
Rather than adding cannons and sacrificing speed,
it would be better to increase strength.
Being able to travel on land, sea, and air would make its performance surpass that of the Thousand Sunny, especially the Coup de Burst, which is simply a divine tool for retreat and evasion.
Iceburg quickly wrote in his notebook.
All demands were recorded.
"Mr. Kevin, do you have any requirements for the ship's design?"
"It should be entirely vermilion."
"Mr. Kevin, it will take about ten days to purchase enough Adam Wood."
Kevin nodded.
That was acceptable.
After Kevin forcefully left enough Berries, Iceburg immediately contacted Franky.
"No interest. I said I wouldn't build Pirate Crew ships for pirates anymore. Have you forgotten how Teacher Tom died?"
"Franky, this time we're building a ship for Kevin. He's the first person brave enough to invade the World Government. Are you sure you're not coming?"
Franky was silent for a few seconds: "I'll come. I will use all my lifelong skills to build this ship well."
...
...
After leaving the Carrera Company, Kevin looked at Tao Tu Gyon.
The latter shook her head.
No World Government spies were found at the Carrera Company.
Kevin was relieved.
Time flew by.
Ten days passed in a flash.
In the dry dock.
A Pirate Crew ship, entirely vermilion, was like the rising sun from the sea.
"So beautiful." Hancock's three sisters excitedly observed the ship.
Every detail was perfect to the extreme.
The best shipbuilding technology in the world, combined with Kevin's unlimited spending of Berries, had created a perfect Pirate Crew ship.
"Ship spirit!"
At the first opportunity, Kevin extracted the ship spirit rewarded by the system and placed it on the Pirate Crew's ship.
"This is my home," a tender little girl's joyful voice faintly echoed from the Pirate Crew's ship.
Gyon looked at the Pirate Crew's ship in astonishment.
Did she mishear?
Franky's face changed drastically, and he looked at the Pirate Crew's ship in disbelief, trembling as he uttered, "A ship spirit? That's impossible."
