"Water 7?"
Cavendish was slightly stunned and said, "You came here to replace this broken ship?"
"I've been saying for a long time, this broken ship is too slow. Just a couple of big waves would be enough to sink it."
"But, do you have money? I heard that Water 7 specializes in making ships for the navy, and the prices are ridiculously high."
On this sea, if you're simply talking about shipbuilding technology, Water 7 can definitely be called second to none.
They also believe in the iron rule of money in hand, effort in place.
Whether it's the navy or the pirates, as long as you have enough money, they don't care what your identity is.
They will all agree to the transaction.
Even the pirate ship owned by the Pirate King Roger, the Oro Jackson, was made by the Water 7 shipwright, the Fish-Man Tom.
That's enough to make Water 7 famous.
"A ship?" Kai looked up slightly, already able to see the ships docked at the port, and said, "You're really strange. You're clearly a pirate, if you need a ship, why don't you just steal one?"
"The matter of ordering a pirate ship probably isn't up to you."
Steal a pirate ship?
Cavendish was stunned!
This simple, crude, and direct solution was completely flawless!
At least, they were indeed pirates.
Why didn't they just steal one?
"Hey, you people in front, are you pirates?"
"If you're pirates, please go to Dock 2!"
A shipwright poked his head out from the watchtower at the entrance to the sea and shouted.
Water 7 welcomes pirates, with the principle that money is the ultimate truth.
However, they still rely on building warships to make a living, and they have to consider the face of the Marine Headquarters.
With the Marine Headquarters turning a blind eye, Water 7 still chooses to separate the flow of pirates and warships.
Arranging them to go to the most hidden Dock 2.
At the same time, the strongest shipwrights are sent to deal with them.
"We're pirates!" Kai replied casually.
He quickly saw the shipwright guiding them.
Cavendish, watching Kai who had no intention of steering, rolled his eyes helplessly and quickly took the helm, heading towards Dock 2.
This time, Kai had traveled a long distance to Water 7, not to build or steal a ship.
Instead, he was here to get a log pose to Enies Lobby.
According to the information Shakuyaku had given him, there were two ways to enter Enies Lobby.
First, use a log pose to open the Gates of Justice at Enies Lobby and ride the hidden tidal whirlpool currents to reach the entrance of Enies Lobby directly.
Second, take the Sea Train route built by the legendary shipwright, the Fish-Man Tom, which could ignore the whirlpool currents and reach Enies Lobby directly.
However, the Gates of Justice were built under the leadership of Vegapunk, and he had used sea currents and whirlpools to disrupt the entire sea, connecting the World Government, Enies Lobby, and the underwater prison Impel Down, all three.
Once ordinary ships stepped into it, without the Gates of Justice being opened, they would be attacked by the sea current whirlpools, and the ship would be destroyed and the people would die.
It could be said that the first method, getting Enies Lobby to actively open the Gates of Justice, was completely impossible.
What's more, Enies Lobby had tampered with the log poses pointing to Enies Lobby in order to reduce the threat from the outside world.
Not only did they have a usage period, but they also had strict circulation rules.
Once ordinary people were discovered to have a log pose to Enies Lobby, they would be questioned.
Turning in the accidentally obtained log pose would even get a reward.
According to Shakuyaku, the Enies Lobby log pose was one of the most difficult things to obtain, second only to Laugh Tale.
So, the reason Kai had come to Water 7 this time was to get a log pose, or find someone to guide him.
"Hey, your ship looks pretty beat-up too, do you need a replacement?"
A light voice came from the shore.
Kai came back to his senses and looked towards the sound. What first caught his eye was a familiar face.
Mountain Wind Kaku, the second most important person in CP9.
However, the current Mountain Wind Kaku hadn't obtained the Animal-type Giraffe Devil Fruit yet.
So, his strength was obviously much weaker than it would be a year and a half later.
"No, I came to find someone." Kai patted the dust off his body, and entered the Escanor character template again, his expression instantly replaced with arrogance.
Feeling the change in Kai's aura, Cavendish's nerves tensed up at once.
Based on their time together, Cavendish knew that if he had a split personality that killed people while he was asleep, then the moment Kai's aura changed meant that he had entered battle mode.
Following this line of reasoning, then Kai hadn't come to steal a ship.
Instead, he had come to seek revenge!
"Find someone?" Kaku was slightly stunned and said, "Everyone who comes here is looking for shipwrights to build ships. Do you have a shipwright in mind?"
As CP9, second only to CP0, one of the World Government's highest intelligence organizations, Kaku and Lucci and the others had been mingling in Water 7 as shipwrights for a long time.
Even Iceburg, the mayor of Water 7, couldn't see through their identities and origins.
This made Kaku have a preconceived notion about Kai's words.
"No, I came to find CP9!" Escanor said abruptly.
The arrogant words, at that moment, shook Kaku's nerves like a thunderclap.
Watching Escanor's gaze, his pupils contracted suddenly. Without time to think, his right foot kicked out like lightning.
"Tempest Kick - Hurricane!"
Bang bang!
His hands braced against the ground, Kaku spun around like a top.
The moment his feet cut through the sky, vacuum slashes, like a tide, swept towards the pirate ship where Escanor was.
The sudden scene made Cavendish's expression change drastically at once.
He had never expected that this shipwright would be the legendary CP9.
Cavendish had heard of this most powerful intelligence organization that made people tremble with fear.
Rumor had it that their mission success rate reached 100%.
Anyone they targeted, whether it was ordinary people, revolutionaries, or even pirates, couldn't escape their grasp.
Right now, Escanor had determined that this shipwright was related to CP9 with one glance.
Was this crazy move throwing a lamb to the slaughter?
However, watching Escanor, who was still unmoved in the face of the incoming vacuum slashes, Cavendish's expression changed, and he reluctantly took action.
Beauty Sword - Azure Bird!
The moment Durandal fell into his hands, the azure blade light instantly slashed out backhanded.
As the stern sound of air being torn apart resounded through the sea, two attacks that were not at all inferior to each other collided with a bang over a distance of a hundred meters.
Bang!
The violent collision airwave swept out across the sea.
Watching this scene, Kaku's body swayed, and he quickly retreated, intending to create distance, while figuring out what was going on.
He also secretly pressed the emergency Den Den Mushi.
