Chapter 10: The new Ship
The new Ship
"I can't believe we gathered up 400 million berries just by bounty hunting in 3 days." Silver was really surprised.
"You are good with guns right ?" Hancock asked Silver.
"Yes but these are fine too." Silver told her.
"Nonsense those were pretty old model. We are going to get you new ones. And besides I want to buy some clothes too. After we buy a ship from groove 10, we will ask Rayleigh to coat it while we will go for shopping our stock for journey." Hancock has taken 1 year timeline as the deadline to save her sisters. So she was in a hurry to go to the new world. But that doesn't mean she would forget the necessary things. New world is a much harsher place than the paradise. So without a proper navigator it is very hard to navigate through the weather of New world. Hancock has the basic skills of navigation. And by basic, she meant that she can navigate through the paradise easily. But the new world is a different matter. And that's why she needed some skilled navigator or has to learn some navigation skills to sail through the new world. Thinking about her plans for the future Hancock didn't realised that they have reached the ship pawn shop.
Every year many pirate ships reach the sabaody archipelago. But the environment here is much harsher then the entire Paradise. And with the presence of G1 base, many arrogant pirates doesn't make till the ship coating is done. So naturally there were many abandoned ship. Not to mention, many merchant ships used to sell their ship here because the cost of getting it to the other side of the red line through the official channel exceeds the value of the ship. So naturally the ship pawn shop is a great place for these abandoned ships.
Silver was carrying a large bag which was full of berries. So it was natural for them together unwanted attention. But because of the presence of Hancock, a few dared to approach them. But those who did were swiftly dealt with.
After entering what looked like a artificial shipyard, a slim tall man greeted them.
"Hello young ladies. Are you here to buy something or sell something ?"
The man was professional. He has years of experience dealing with several kinds of people. And from his vast experience, he knew very well not to judge someone from their looks.
"We want a ship within 320 million berries. Preferably something small but sturdy." Hancock has no plan to recruit more than two people except for two of them in her upcoming journey. Not to mention they are only two people and a snake for the beginning of there journey. So she didn't plan to take anything big. 320 millions is enough to buy a galleon or a brig sloop. But she didn't have the manpower to operate a galleon or a skilled navigator for a brig sloop. A caravel would be ideal for their journey but most of the caravels were not strong enough to withstand the environment of the new world.
"May I ask you how many passengers you wish to carry ? And do say your preferable ship type." The man asked again.
"Maximum five. But for now there are two of us and another. I would prefer a caravel. But it should be strong enough to survive the new world." Hancock said to the man.
The man took out a diary from his shirt and went through a few pages. Then he closed the diary and looked towards Hancock. "Sorry young lady. But currently we do not have any ship that fulfills your requirement. But I do have one ship in mind. It is not a caravel. But it is small and sturdy. Will you like to take a look at it ?" The man asked.
Hancock wanted to increase her budget to 350 millions to see if he got something, but then decided to see the ship first. With her permission the man took them to a loan corner of the shipyard where there were nothing but scraps. But within those scraps, stood a ship in silver colour. It was a galleon.
"Allow me to tell you the details of this ship. The name of this ship is unknown. It used to be the ship of genius pirates, who got captured by the marines twenty years ago. The ship is very old and made of metal. But it hasn't rusted a bit. The ship has a manual book which has mentioned how to operate it. But it is too complicated for people to understand. That's why this ship is here for so long. No one wants to buy it. it is really hard to believe that this ship is 20 years old. But it still operates perfectly. This ship might be bigger than any caravel, but it is the smallest galleon we have." The man point further to tell the details about the ship. It was a bit big for hancocks taste. But the design of the ship was really simple. Not to mention it was probably the smallest galleon Hancock has ever seen.
"How much is it ? And I am asking you with the cost of the sails. The ship might be and top condition but those sails were barely hanging so we will need a replacement." Hancock asked the man.
"The price of this shape is 220 millions But with the sails, it will cost you 223 millions. Do you want any customisation in the ship or the sails ?"
...
After visiting the interior and handing over the manual book to Silver, Hancock decided to do some customisation in the ship. After listing out everything it's final cost was around 260 millions. Hancock gave 10 millions more to take the delivery next day. After giving them 200 millions as advance , both the girls return to the shakky's rip off bar.
The day after the next day, they recieved their ship from the shop. Then the finally gave it to Rayleigh. Silver became busy learning the function of the ship from the manual while Hancock went for shopping.
Finally after seven days, the coating of their ship was completed and it was ready to set sail.
...
"By the way you didn't named it." Silver asked Hancock who was busy uploading the supplies.
"Huh ? Oh it is Pearl."
