One Piece: The Ninja Who Started as a Fisherman.

Chapter 304 New Meili - Sunshine Meili

Mary's opening day.

Carrera Company, vessel inspection berth.

Nami's record pointer has been stored, and everyone has gathered, waiting for the "new Merry".

"The show is about to begin! The Straw Hat Pirates." Franky said excitedly.

"He can cross any ocean! Even going to the ends of the earth is easy."

"You want to be the Pirate King!! Then get on this ship!!"

After saying that, Franky lifted the long-covered curtain, revealing the true appearance of the new Merry.

"Is this two or three times longer than Merry's?" This was what Zoro was concerned about.

"Not only that, you green algae-head, a ship can't be measured only in length, its area and volume should be larger." Of course, it was Sanji who was scolding Zoro.

"Ah!! This...is this Mei...Merry?" Luffy, Usopp and Saikan pointed at the bow of the ship, almost turning into shark teeth.

Because - it's a sheep's head with a lion's mane!!

"What a...what a cute boat." Robin blushed and exclaimed in her heart.

Robin, what's your cuteness? !

"Ahem! This is actually a wreath of sunflowers..." Franky opened his mouth.

"My original design was like this, but Meili has a sheep's head, so we can also call him 'Lion Sheep'..."

This guy directly synthesized a new animal!

Chopper raised his hand and asked a question: "So is it a herbivore or a carnivore?"

This kind of question...

Franky quickly changed the subject and began to explain the other functions of the bow.

For example, when Mary opens her mouth, she can release the "Lion Roar Cannon" to attack the target in front, and her mane... oh no, the sunflower can rotate like a propeller and change the direction of the propeller upward.

After diverting everyone's attention, Franky breathed a sigh of relief.

----

"Well! It's time for the most critical moment!" Qi Kang took out a "rhinoceros horn wooden fish".

After hearing Qi Kang's words, everyone became nervous.

Puff! Puff! Squish!

As waves of strange fog began to cover everyone.

"Merry! Are you there?!" everyone started shouting.

But... no one responded?

"Where's Merry?" Usopp admitted that he was a little nervous.

Qi Kang hurriedly comforted him: "Don't get excited, Usopp!!"

Did it fail? Mary herself said it was possible!

What exactly is going on!

"Merry!!!" Luffy shouted again.

Everyone looked at each other and had a bad feeling.

Suddenly, a disembodied voice seemed to come from all directions: "People... people have no clothes on! I can't find any clothes..."

???

This is Meili!!

So, they succeeded! Meili is still here!!

But—what do you mean by clothes?

Qi Kang suddenly thought of something and asked, "Where's your raincoat, Usopp?"

"what!?"

Seeing that the others were still confused, Qi Kang hurriedly ran to rummage through the suitcase.

At this moment, Robin's explanation of the ship spirit suddenly rang in everyone's ears:

"When the ship becomes close enough to the crew, the ship will repay the favor by transforming into a 'person' holding a mallet and wearing a crew raincoat - just like the crew!"

The first time Merry appeared, she was wearing Usopp's raincoat, but now it was just an empty ship and all the things had not been put on the shelves, so Merry searched for a long time but couldn't find the so-called "clothes".

Whoosh!

As Usopp's raincoat was thrown over, as soon as it was thrown onto the ship, it immediately froze strangely.

Then Mary's figure began to condense under the raincoat.

This is a little loli figure with goat horns on her head and a well-proportioned body, and she is just as looming as the last time she appeared.

But the difference is that compared with the original Merry's boat spirit, it seems taller and more mature, especially the wooden hammer in her hand is also much thicker...

Franky, who had seen one of the ship spirits, pulled down his sunglasses and exclaimed, "As the ship grows, the ship spirit will also change!"

Meili's transformation was successful, and everyone was pleasantly surprised. The little girl with goat horns on her head bowed to everyone first.

Meili's clear voice echoed in the air: "Everyone, I am very happy to be able to sail with you again."

She raised her eyes, gratitude flashing in her eyes: "And Mr. Franky, you gave me a new life!"

"Because of you, I can once again accompany my friends on adventures." There was a hint of excitement in Mary's voice.

"I can……"

She paused, then said affectionately:

"I can go fishing with Qi Kang again, read books with Robin to learn knowledge, taste the aroma of Sanji's delicious food, practice hard with Zoro, feel the laughter and freedom brought by the captain, appreciate the joy of Nami making money, experience the innocence and gentleness of Dr. Chopper, and witness Usopp's courage in adversity."

Mary's words hit everyone, and the next words made Frankie burst into tears.

"I hope Mr. Franky can sail with us. You are different to Merry. Merry is reluctant to leave you..."

It is understandable that New Merry comes from Franky's drawings. Franky is like New Merry's old father.

"Woo woo woo! You really make a pervert like me so confused!"

Franky the tough guy burst into tears and actually started doing a perverted dance!

He wanted to numb himself with perverted behavior, just like Qi Kang in Alrita's state.

Everyone looked at Franky, and Luffy smiled. He had bound this guy!

As the smoke thinned, Mary's figure began to disappear.

Finally, Meili looked around at everyone, with a hint of shyness in her voice:

"Although I'm not used to this body yet, I promise that I will adapt as soon as possible and become everyone's most reliable partner. Please believe that Meili will definitely lead everyone to the end of the world and fulfill everyone's dreams."

As Mary's voice disappeared, everyone cheered!

"Merry! Merry! Merry!"

Everyone started packing their bags and getting ready to board the ship.

At this time, Qi Kang interrupted the excitement of the crowd.

"Since this is the new Merry, the mission of the Golden (Forward) Merry has come to an end."

Said, Qi Kang looked at Franky.

"So as Meili's old father, do you want to give it a new name?"

"Me?" Franky was a little surprised.

Everyone looked at Franky. Just as Qi Kang said, Franky was qualified.

Franky looked at the mane under Merry's sheep's head, which was the sunflower, and remembered Iceberg's words.

Franky smiled and said, "We have inherited the name of Merry and are shining like the sun on the cruel sea. So let's call it Sunshine Merry!"

Luffy picked his nose: "It's much better than my Gorilla Lion Sheep Merry!!"

Usopp yelled: "What a stupid zoo name!!"

Zoro: "Better than my Sleeping Merry..."

Robin: "Better than my Dark Merry..."

Shark Tooth Usopp's face flushed red: "Are you kidding me? This is just showing off your personality!"

"Then it's the Sunshine Merry!!"

"Agree!!"

"Sunny Merry! Here we come!!!"

……

(P.S. Sunny is powdered and sprayed lightly. The layout of Sunshine Merry is based on the Sunny, but there are some changes. I will plan it.)
