The Ark of Passion now has a total length of about 23,000 meters. The entire ship is essentially a three-masted sailboat. However, under Franky's careful design, there are huge outer turbines on both sides of the hull. This can be used in windless waters.
The huge outer turbine is crossing the sea; the side of the hull is also neatly lined with dense holes. There is nothing inside, but in the future, powerful artillery will be stored in every space.
The keel of the Ark is the key area of concern for the three chief engineers. Among the materials handed over to Coral by the World Government, there is even a lot of wood from the Adam tree, which is also one of the designated materials specially requested by Victor.
Legend has it that there is such an island. There has been a war on the island. Under the baptism of war, the entire island, the city and the people were basically destroyed, but there is a huge [tree] that still stands. No matter what happens, [the tree]
】 are standing there. After the war, people built new cities and countries based on this tree. There are only a few such powerful 【trees】 in the world, and people call it the strongest tree - Treasure Tree Adam
.
The wood of the treasure tree Adam is extremely tough, and the ship made of this tree is also extremely tough and strong, and can withstand extremely heavy pressure. Rumor has it that the 'Auro Jackson' that the Pirate King Goldo Roger rides on
The ship was made of this wood, and the shipbuilder was none other than shipwright Tom.
Nowadays, judging from the size of [Passionate Ark], the wood of these treasure trees Adam is definitely not enough to cover the entire ship, but it can still be used to strengthen the keel. Mixing wood to strengthen the keel is a very, very precise and high-end method.
technology. Even Bingshan and Franky needed to work together, and the strengthening work lasted for a full 15 days before it came to an end.
The island on top of the Ark was also heavily renovated by these industrious craftsmen. The dense forest on the island was renovated into a gorgeous courtyard. The original necropolis area was also renovated into a fountain square. Those zombie generals took the initiative to assist the Ark.
The repair project shared a lot of labor, so they were rewarded and moved to the [Penrose Deep Corridor] on the second underground floor. The environment of [Penrose Deep Corridor] is dark and secluded, which is like a fish in water for these zombies.
On the north side of the island is a floating parking area, and a large floating platform has been built to be used as a "resort area" in the future; while on the south side is a "boathouse" dedicated to "Coral" members.
Coating such an extremely huge ark is certainly not an easy task. Fortunately, there are enough coating craftsmen on the Chambord Islands, and there are many coating masters among them, such as Lao Lei, Togepi, Bearded Louis, etc.
This time, the coating not only includes the Ark of Passion, but also the Beagle and the temporary old ship. The coating process of the Ark of Passion adopts the [four-stage] method to strive for safety.
When everything was ready, the Ark of Passion dived into the sea on a sunny morning, bid farewell to the "Paradise" for the time being, and began its journey to the "New World".
………………
Ten thousand meters under the sea.
Fishman Island, Dragon Palace City.
"Otohime...hasn't she come back yet?" The owner of Ryugu Castle, 'Sea King' Neptune, was sitting on the king's chair, with a lingering sadness on his face.
The 'left minister' of the catfish mermaid and the 'right minister' of the seahorse mermaid looked at each other, feeling helpless.
The incident goes back to a week ago.
At that time, after several weeks of treatment, the Celestial Dragon Muse Galdesian who fell to Fish-Man Island finally regained his ability to move. Ryugu City thought about it and finally decided to send a royal ship to send him there.
Back on land.
Before leaving, Saint Musgard had an angry face and vowed to make these fish that despise him pay a heavy price.
"Remember it for me... As a domestic animal, you dare to point a gun at your master!!" Before stepping onto the deck, Saint Musgard said, "I will definitely make you regret it..."
Seeing the completely unrepentant [human] on the sampan, the guards of Fishman Island were filled with indignation.
"Why should I be resented for saving his life..."
"You shouldn't let him go back, this island will be in crisis!!"
But Princess Otohime stopped Musgard Saint, "Please stay! You seem to have something else to say? Then, I will go to the land with you."
How reckless! The mermaid princess went to the land alone with the Celestial Dragons? It was like feeding a tiger with her own body!
Not only the guards and people, but also Neptune, the King of the Sea, who came over, also disagreed. "Otohime, don't do this! If you have to make it clear to the nobles of the world no matter what, then let me go!"
"No! You are too strong. There is no point in going there." Princess Otohime was so fierce that "If I, a person who is much weaker than ordinary people, can return safely after going to that world, it will prove that there is
Safe.”
No matter how everyone tried to persuade her, Otohime finally boarded the ship. This is what she said before leaving.
"Neptune! Trust in the wife you choose... and in humanity!"
The days passed day by day.
An uneasy atmosphere also enveloped the Dragon Palace City. The princes and princesses were in tears all day long, and Neptune, the king of the sea, could only hold on to his worries to comfort the children.
The people also stayed up all night because of worry. From time to time, the children went to look for Jinbei and asked about Otohime's whereabouts. But what could Jinbei say?
A week that has been like a year has passed, and to this day, Princess Otohime still has not returned.
While Neptune and the two ministers were sighing, the phone rang.
[Report, report! Found an inbound ship! Yes, it’s the royal ship from before!!]
After hearing the excited report from the 'Border Guard', Neptune rushed out of the palace, followed by the two ministers and the palace guards.
Fishman Island, port of entry.
After receiving the news, the people crowded this large harbor to the limit. People looked at the beautiful figure on the bow of the boat waving to the crowd, and they all couldn't hold back their tears and cried loudly.
"Your Highness Otohime——!!"
"Great! As long as you can come back alive, we will..."
"Welcome back! Your Highness Otohime——!!"
After several days of patient persuasion, Otohime finally convinced the arrogant Tianlong people. Not only that, she also brought back a piece of paper, which can be said to be the [Light of Hope] of Fish-Man Island!
It was written by the world's nobles, and the content was——
[For the sake of friendly exchanges between the fish people and humans, I will also agree with the submitted signatures. 】
In other words, when enough signatures of Fish-Man Island residents who are willing to move to land to coexist with humans are submitted at the [World Conference] held every four years with the participation of various World Government member countries, then this Draconian
The handwritten [Consent Letter] will give Fish-Man Island a stronger voice! At that time, the wish of [migrating to land and coexisting with humans] will also be realized.
This will be the first time that the fish-men and merfolk are so close to land and sunlight.
In the empty throne room of Dragon Palace City, the beeping, beeping sounds of telephone bugs echoed helplessly in the empty hall.
The phone microphone in the captain's hand of the Border Guard captain, who was far away at the entrance to Fish-Man Island, slowly slipped down. He and the surrounding team members stared dumbfounded at the boundless sea above their heads.
There, an extremely huge ship-shaped black shadow was gradually approaching, and two zipper patterns forming a [V] shape could be vaguely seen on the side of the ship.
