Especially when she saw the spacious and bright cabins, the smile on Robin's face grew wider.
At the very least, she now had a separate place to rest and bathe.
Cyrus was also very satisfied with the ship.
When sailing the seas, although his physical constitution made him highly adaptable to the ocean, it was naturally better to be more comfortable.
However, could the Adam Treasure Tree wood withstand Issho's Devil Fruit Ability?
Thinking of this, Cyrus turned his head toward the bow.
Tom's students and some shipwrights were installing the massive Rose Ram.
But while they worked, they kept stealing glances in his direction.
Cyrus thought for a moment, then waved toward the bow.
Cutty Flam, who was directing a group of people to install the ram, saw this and quickly walked over.
"Mr. Cyrus." Cutty Flam said as he approached.
"If I wanted to add a Training Room, but I need the force it endures to be distributed throughout the entire ship, how long would that take?" Cyrus asked his question directly.
"A Training Room?" Cutty Flam wasn't surprised.
He thought for a moment before speaking.
"Distributing it throughout the entire ship would be difficult, but we considered this during construction. There's already a Training Room on board, and the Adam Treasure Tree wood is strong enough to handle most things."
"Is that so?" Cyrus nodded slightly.
"But it wouldn't take long to install an additional one. Apart from the main frame, most other parts of the hull can be replaced quickly."
'They're already using modular designs?'
Cyrus looked at Cutty Flam with some surprise.
"Then add one. It needs to be sturdy enough!"
"Okay, I'll go tell the old man!"
Cutty Flam nodded and quickly slid down the side of the ship.
"You're so diligent. You could actually relax a bit while sailing at sea," Robin said, looking at Cyrus with considerable emotion in her heart.
"Huh?" Cyrus turned to look at Robin.
"It'll mainly be for you to use. I'll train when we land on islands. After all, if Issho uses his ability on the ship without damaging it, the effect on me would be very limited."
Cyrus's words made Robin's expression change.
It shifted through several emotions in an instant.
Although she had resolved to work hard and become stronger, hearing Cyrus's words now, Robin suddenly felt a little intimidated.
The days ahead might not be so easy.
...
Cutty Flam disembarked and told Tom what Cyrus had mentioned.
"I see. I remember we still have some leftover materials from the construction. Assembling a Training Room won't be a problem," Tom said immediately.
"I'll get right on it!"
Cutty Flam nodded and turned to get to work.
But Tom looked at his student and felt that he had suddenly matured a lot in the past few days.
"Wait, Cutty Flam!"
Tom called out to his departing student.
"Cyrus invited me to join his Hunter Guild. What do you think?" Tom asked.
"Huh?" Cutty Flam turned back, stunned for a moment. "You can decide for yourself, old man. But it actually sounds pretty good."
In truth, Cutty Flam now knew their situation was very dangerous.
The World Government's agents would certainly not stop targeting the old man this time.
If they could follow a powerful person, at least their safety would be guaranteed.
"I see!"
Tom waved his hand, and Cutty Flam hurried away.
Tom looked up at the newly completed ship.
Its hull was long and slender, with elegant lines. Perhaps in the future, like Roger's ship, it too could become famous across the seas.
He would quite like to see that.
As a craftsman who had built ships his entire life, Tom truly hoped to see a vessel he personally built become renowned throughout the world.
This was a common ambition for every aspiring shipwright.
"Since he's not worried, I'll agree." Tom made his decision.
But he didn't know if his students would follow him.
'I'll ask them later!'
...
On the Sabaody Archipelago...
In a casino, Issho was thoroughly enjoying himself this time.
Hawkeye's presence prevented the casino staff from trying any tricks, otherwise, one slash from him and the entire casino would be gone.
Issho's luck was very good this time.
Since it was a hobby, he naturally wouldn't use his ability or Haki to cheat.
But he just kept winning.
However, today, there was an unexpected guest.
Hawkeye's eyes, which struck fear into anyone who saw them, were fixed on a figure at Issho's table.
'The Pirate King's first mate, Dark King Rayleigh.'
'To think this man was on the Sabaody Archipelago.'
The Pirate King had been dead for over a decade, and the whereabouts of his crew were unknown.
The Marine didn't seem to have conducted any large-scale roundups either.
He had thought these people were hiding on some unknown island in the sea.
He never expected Dark King Rayleigh to be hiding on the Sabaody Archipelago.
Although there were lawless islands here, it was, after all, not far from Marine Headquarters.
Rayleigh was not a Devil Fruit user, but a Master Swordsman.
Hawkeye knew this.
And so, he was tempted.
At the gambling table, Rayleigh was inwardly speechless.
He had just robbed the person who bought him and come here to have some fun, only to be targeted.
And by Hawkeye Mihawk, of all people!
'This guy was not easy to deal with.'
'And there was this one, too.'
Rayleigh lifted his gaze, his eyes looking through his glasses at the tall figure on the other side of the table.
'He had a very solid build, and just sitting there gave off a strong sense of pressure.'
'However...'
"Big! Big! Big!"
Issho, his eyes rolled back to white, shouted along with the other gamblers.
'He shares my hobby!'
'No, he probably likes it even more than I do.'
Rayleigh thought, then watched as the dealer took the chips from in front of him.
'Tch, lost it all again!'
Rayleigh rubbed his chin, glanced at Hawkeye, then stood up and walked toward the casino entrance.
Hawkeye stood up as well.
"Are you going to make your move here?"
Hawkeye had only taken a few steps when Issho, who had just been acting like he was completely absorbed in gambling, turned his head and spoke.
Hawkeye paused.
"The man is right here. Or are you worried he'll leave after seeing you?" Issho said again.
Hawkeye thought for a moment, then sat back down.
Enel, who was listening to their conversation nearby, was a little confused.
"It's time to gather. We don't know when Cyrus will be back," Hawkeye said in a deep voice after sitting down.
"Mm, the Rip-off Bar in Grove 13, right?"
Issho nodded, then turned back to continue gambling.
"Was that person just now very strong?"
Enel had gotten to know Hawkeye and Issho a little during their time together, so he now asked.
"Very strong. A big shot!" Hawkeye nodded in response, then glanced at Enel.
That was the Dark King Rayleigh, a legendary figure.
Back when Dark King Rayleigh was making a name for himself on the seas, he had only just set out himself!
He would not let such an opponent go.
A long time later, Issho finally stood up, satisfied.
He took the Belly he had exchanged his chips for and left the casino with Hawkeye.
The casino management finally breathed a sigh of relief.
