...~[Good Reading]~...

At the lighthouse, after the train departed, Zoro saw someone coming out of the lighthouse. It was a small child in a yellowish green style.

"Grandmother! Grandma! There are pirates here!" - Son

"What's? That's bad, I have to call the guards." - Grandma

The crew saw an old woman come out holding a bottle of wine. He called someone who was most likely a city guard.

"Hello? Who'sis this?... Uh, why did I call? I forgot." - Grandma

"He's too drunk." - Crew

The crew went down and managed to calm the boy down. He then introduced himself to the crew.

"My name is Chimney, this is my pet cat Gonbe, and this is my grandmother Kokoro." - Chimney

"C-cat?" - Crew

'No matter how I look at it, it's a rabbit, right? But it's acting like a cat. Also called the chimney, was the name inspired by the train? Well, he's cute and funny so it's okay.' - Jon

The crew then asked about the train beforehand. Kokoro's grandmother explains that the sea train, Puffing Tom, connects several islands. It is also faster than ships and can operate in any weather. The people of these islands use the sea train for transportation, either for trade or simply to travel.

The chimney also explains about the frog, Yokozuna. It had always challenged the sea carriage to test its strength every few days. Luffy canceled his plan to eat the frog after learning that the frog had great ambition and courage.

'Are you really starting to respect frogs? Well, it's an intelligent being, and it has a strong will, so maybe he deserves respect. Although it bothers a lot of people with its actions.' - Jon

They decided to go to Water 7, the island where the sea train was made and the place of the log point.

"Grandmother Kokoro? Can we fix our ship there?" - Luffy

"Of course, Water 7 is famous for its shipbuilders. Our shipbuilders are also said to be the best. Here, let me give you a map and a letter. Give this to a man named Iceburg, and he will help you repair your ship." - Kokoro

The crew thanks them and Sanji gives them some paeilla he made before. They sailed to Water 7 to search for shipbuilders and repair the Going Merry. After a while, they saw the island and they were flabbergasted.

The island looks like a fountain, a huge fountain. The island is shaped like a mountain with the middle is the highest point. Water sprouts from a large tall building built in the middle. Water flows through many tunnels and rivers until it reaches the sea. No wonder this island has the name Water.

"Hey, what number is that?" - Luffy

"I don't know." - Usopp

"possible blocks. The name of this island is Water 7, right? There may be 7 blocks or districts." - Jon

"Really?" - Chopper

"It's just speculation." - Jon

They were looking for a place to dock and suddenly someone called them.

"HEY! Pirates cannot dock in this area. Pirates should be anchored there!" - Fishermen

"All right.." - Luffy

"So pirates have a special location to dock." - Jon

They went to the place that the fisherman pointed to and they went into a place with many shops and houses. The building is built on a high foundation and the foundation is underwater.

"Maybe also why the name of the city is Water, the building itself is built on water." - Robin

"HEY! Pirates can't come here. Do you want to rob us, hahaha. Go that way." - Shopkeeper

"All right, thank you" - Luffy

"They're even joking if we want to rob them. They are really not afraid of pirates." - Zoro

"Maybe because we're customers." - Sanji

"Maybe there's more. The island must be protected by a powerful force. Most likely the World Government, because Grandma Kokoro said there is a special train line for the government right?" - Jon

"So they are not afraid of pirates because they know pirates will not dare to attack?" - Nami

"Well, people are not stupid." - Jon

They followed the route the shopkeeper said. After a long while, they arrived at a place that was lool like a junkyard with a lot of broken wood. It looks very different from a city that looks beautiful.

"Let's take a look at the map and find that iceburg." - Nami

Nami opens a 'map' but more like a kindergarten picture.

"Yes, it's useless." - Nami

"Woah, looks like a picture of Luffy." - Usopp

"Then maybe Luffy can interpret it for you, Nami." - Jon

They docked and laid anchors.

"Jon, give me some gold and jewels!" - Nami

"Why don't you just use cash?" - Jon

"This is our chance to exchange gold and jewels. This island looks very prosperous, so we will have no trouble selling it." - Nami

"Oh yes. But I think it's better to sell the gold now. We don't know if the jewelry is stolen or not. Jewelry tends to have an owner, so we could be suspected of being the thief. Better sell them on the black market to avoid trouble." - Jon

"Hmm, you're right. This place might be overseen by the government, so it's best to avoid it from their sight for now. All right, we sell gold bullion first, if we find a black market then we'll sell some jewelry." - Nami

"Well, I'll find the place so don't worry. Try to sell this bar in a real store, so we can cover our tracks. They'll think that's where we get our money. Also sell the amount needed for repairs only." - Jon

"You want to show them that we don't have more stuff or stuff stolen?" - Nami

"Yes, I will sell the others undercover so that no one will suspect they belong to us. That way no other party will try to follow us just to get the money." - Jon

"Hmm, then give me 400 million worth of gold. We don't know how much it will cost but it should cover everything. Do not sell too much jewelry, it will also cause more problems. Leave the other gold for now, we will sell it on another island." - Nami

Jon took out some gold bars and put them in some bags. Nami will go with Luffy & Usopp, they are desperate to get the shipbuilder and fix Merry. Zoro is in charge of guarding the ship, he just wants to sleep and the others also don't want him to get lost in a big city like this. Robin went with Usopp to buy books. Sanji will go with them but he will look for the ingredients first.

Jon, as always will move on his own, well, Jon and his clones. Jon made 15 clones and they spread out after changing their appearance. They'll gather information and find the black martket here. Jon changes his appearance, he transforms into Kujo Jontaro.

"* ahem*Yare yare dazed*ahem ahem*Yare yare dazed. Hmm, good, the sound is similar." - Jontaro

Jontaro takes a walk in the city trying to look badass and cold. His handsome face and nice body attract many girls. Even the one who is dating his girlfriend.

"Hey handsome, want to eat?" - Girl A

"Hey, come with this older sister instead. I will give you unforgettable memories." - Girl B

"Forget those two old ladies, eat with this young girl instead." - Girl C

"O-old lady?" - Girls A&B

They argued and there was another girl who came and teased him as well. Jotaro thinks it's time for his ultimate move.

"CLOSED HELL! YOU ARE VERY PLEASANT, YOU****!" - Jotaro

"HEY! DON'T CONTACT THEM BI -" Boys

"Ye~s 😍" - Girl

"... Uh?" - Boys

'.... This really worked? Shit, Jotaro is so tough.' - Jotaro

Jotaro walked around again, he was just trying to find information slowly and passively. The clones are actively working. He saw a bar and decided to try another famous scene. He came in and approached the bartender. He shifted the image of Aokiji to the bartender. The bartender looked at the picture for a moment.

"Sorry but this is a bar, please order something." - Bartender

The bartender was bald and fat, suitable for this scene.

"Then iced tea!" - Jontaro

The bartender made iced tea and looked at the picture. He gave the glass to Jontaro who just stood up despite the many seats around him. Jontaro put on a serious and grim face while waiting for an answer.

"This guy came here yesterday. He just relaxes in his hotel and takes a walk around town. I advise you not to disturb him." - Bartender

Jontaro maintained his expression and took his glass and drank it quickly and put it down with a slam, and he almost forgot to pay. So he awkwardly turned around and gave away a sum of money that could buy hundreds of iced tea glasses. Jontaro came out and walked again.

'Aokiji is here? I only used her picture because she was close from here when we met her. I didn't expect him to actually come here. I have to investigate the purpose. It can't be a coincidence.' - Jontaro

Jontaro continued to slowly gather information until he was hungry. He decided to have lunch at a small shop. He bought a bowl of spicy noodles that looked very red and scary. He doesn't like to eat in a big restaurant. Moreover, he could observe more people on the street.

When he eats, one of his clones goes missing and he gets information about the black market. He finished eating and went into the alley. After making sure that no one saw him, he made a clone. He gave his clone a scroll containing several jewelry boxes. The clones changed and immediately went to the black market location.

Jontaro continued his journey, and he visited many shops. He was just relaxing, as it was extremely rare to get a relaxing day in a big city like this. He actually invented some technology in this city. He found a camera that wasn't a snail, so of course he bought it. It looks like an old camera, but the pictures are good. Then he found another bar.

'Oh, another bar. Then I will try that famous scene.' - Jontaro

He walked into the bar and saw many men drinking their liquor and eating several times. He saw the bar table was empty, it was the perfect arrangement. He sat down on a chair close to the corner of the table and called out to the bartender.

"Give me a drink, Bartender!" - Jontaro

The bartender looked at him and raised his eyebrows, but Jontaro was silent. Then the bartender takes a bottle of beer and fills a woodwen mug with it. He walked over and placed it in front of Jontaro who had a dark countenance.

'Damn, it didn't work. He had to use glass instead of a wooden mug like this. Then he must shift it here and I will not catch it until it falls and breaks.' - Jontaro

Jontaro was upset, so he drank the beer quickly and slammed it on the table.

"Thank you for the drink." - Jontaro

Jontaro pays and then leaves the bar filled with people who put on questioning faces. They had no idea what had happened to Jontaro that made him look upset. It was common at bars, so they forgot about it and continued their drinks.

Jontaro kept going around and found other interesting things. Then he found a blacksmith and decided to ask him to repair or remake his old kunais and secret weapons. He needs to cut some SP.

The blacksmith is your everyday uncle, not the big muscular guy like in all anime. His officer was a woman, most likely his wife. There was also a young man in his 20s who looked like their son was helping a couple.

"Ooh, customer. What do you need?" - Wife

"Hi aunt, can you fix this?" - Jontaro

"certain. Ah, my name is Hellen, this is my husband Jake and my son Bill." - Wife

"Well, can you fix this?" - Jontaro

Jon retrieves some damaged kunai and shuriken. They all saw his weapons, even Hellen. They never make something like this, they just see it in books.

"What you? A ninja?" - Bill

"No, I've only loved playing with them since I was a kid. So I use it as my weapon now." - Jon

"Oh, I think you are a ninja." - Bill put on a disappointed expression.

"Alright, I can fix this, but some need to be remade. The one with severe damage will be the material to repair, how?" - Jake

"It's okay. Also, can you make 100 of each type?" - Jontaro

"Yes, but I need a weapon in good condition to use as a base. It will be needed for repairs as well. I need to know the right size and proportion." - Jake

"Of course, this. Also, can you make it with cheap materials? It's a throwing weapon, so it doesn't have to last long." - Jontaro

"Alright, I have a lot left over here, so I'll use it." - Jake

After discussing and negotiating, Jontaro returned to the ship. He didn't know there was something waiting for him.
