Uchiha Puppet Master, Starting from One Piece

Bai Yu and the other two stepped forward. Matsumoto Rangiku couldn't help but laugh when she saw this, and teased, "Captain Shanks, I didn't expect you guys to be so lively this morning. The way you're fighting over the steak is much cuter than when you were drinking last night."

Shanks turned and saw the three of them. His eyes lit up, and he instantly forgot about the steak. He quickly stood up, dusted himself off, and said with a smile, "You're here! Please sit down, please sit down. Breakfast is freshly made, all fresh and delicious. Come and have a taste!"

The group sat around a long table in the center of the deck. Breakfast included golden and crispy toast, fried eggs that were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, juicy roast meat, fresh fruit salad, and warm milk. Shanks enthusiastically served the three of them the food.

He then picked up a piece of toast and began to gnaw on it.

Halfway through the meal, Shanks suddenly remembered something: "Speaking of which, should we have some 'resurrection wine' in the morning?"

"Mmm..."

Upon hearing this, Matsumoto Rangiku nodded eagerly; she genuinely didn't mind drinking so early in the morning.

That's one of the advantages of this world: you can eat meat to your heart's content and drink alcohol happily.

"Ms. Rangiku has such good taste."

He was about to go get the wine when he said that.

However, when he got up, he accidentally bumped into the table, knocking over all the milk on it.

All I can say is that this guy did it on purpose.

Bai Yu shook his head helplessly and picked up a tissue to wipe the milk on the table.

Matsumoto Rangiku couldn't help but chuckle, and handed her a clean towel with a smile: "Red-haired Captain, you'd better watch your hands first, or you won't be able to have breakfast. Your crew must be really working hard."

"Yeah yeah!"

"Yes, it's been so tough for us!"

"Taking care of a captain like that requires extra money...!"

Robin couldn't help but smile slightly. With a flick of his finger, several arms grew out from beside the table, skillfully cleaning up the spilled milk cups and refilling everyone's milk cups with swift and decisive movements.

Upon seeing this, the crew members all praised Nico Robin's abilities as practical, and Shanks looked at Robin with envy.

"Miss Robin, your abilities are amazing, and you're so gentle! If you were on the ship, I wouldn't have to deal with these rough men!"

Robin merely smiled faintly at Shanks, offering no further response, and quietly ate her breakfast, only occasionally glancing at Bai Yu with a hint of barely perceptible amusement in her eyes.

Breakfast gradually came to an end amidst laughter. Bai Yu and his two companions stood up, cupped their hands in farewell to Shanks and the crew, and said, "Thank you for your hospitality. We have already made a reservation at the shipyard and plan to go back today to check on the ship's construction progress, so we'll be taking our leave now."

Upon hearing this, Shanks' smile faded, and his expression turned serious. He stepped forward and looked earnestly at the three of them.

"Shiraha-san, Rangiku-san, and Robin, I know you have your own adventure plans, and I respect your choices. However, I still want to sincerely invite you one more time to join my Red-Haired Pirates! Come with us to the New World, see a wider ocean, drink together, adventure together, and experience many more interesting things together!"

The crew members of the Red-Haired Pirates nodded in agreement, their eyes filled with anticipation. Beckman also spoke up, saying, "The personalities and character of the three of you are all a perfect fit for our team. Join us, and we will be the most reliable companions."

Bai Yu naturally loved the atmosphere of the Red-Haired Pirates, but he already had his own goals and a promise to sail away with Rangiku and Robin.

He shook his head solemnly and said in a sincere tone.

"Shanks-san, thank you for your kindness and invitation. We are very grateful. However, the three of us have our own adventures to pursue and want to explore our own landscapes together. So, I'm sorry, we cannot accept your invitation."

Matsumoto Rangiku nodded in agreement: "Although we really enjoy the atmosphere of drinking with you guys, we still want to form our own team, build our own pirate ship, and go on our own adventures."

Robin also said softly, "Thank you for the invitation, but our minds are made up. Please understand."

Seeing the determination in their eyes, Shanks knew they had made their decision and didn't press them further. He simply smiled and patted Bai Yu on the shoulder: "Since that's the case, I won't force you anymore. But wherever you go, whatever difficulties you encounter, if you need help, you can always come to me, Red-Haired Shanks! My ship is always open to you!"

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Nico Robin. The red-haired man certainly had enough status and strength to protect Nico Robin.

Nevertheless, the three still bid farewell to the redhead; that's how carefree men on the high seas are.

The same applies to parting.

With the morning light warm and the sea breeze gently caressing the dock, Bai Yu and his two companions bid farewell to the Red-Haired Pirates and headed straight for the shipyard in the west of the city.

Upon arriving at the shipyard, the craftsmen were already busy at work. The clanging of hammers and the rustling of wood being sanded filled the air, along with the faint, pleasant scent of sawdust. As soon as the three entered the shipyard, the boss warmly greeted them with a broad smile: "Young men and women, come and take a look! The ship's construction is progressing smoothly. The framework of the three sails is basically complete, and the other materials are still being processed."

"Have the wood been properly treated for moisture and rot prevention? This is very important because the marine environment is humid."

The boss nodded quickly: "Don't worry, all the wood underwent three layers of moisture-proof and anti-corrosion treatment last night, and was also coated with a special protective oil, which can effectively resist seawater erosion and is absolutely guaranteed to be durable. Moreover, this process will continue for the next few days."

The three of them carefully inspected the shipyard, confirming that the construction progress and quality met expectations in just one day. They also briefly discussed the subsequent installation details with the boss before getting up and leaving the shipyard.

The next few days passed peacefully and comfortably.

Bai Yu goes to the shipyard every day to check on the progress of ship construction and occasionally exchanges details with the craftsmen to ensure that every design achieves the expected results.

Rangiku Matsumoto enjoys wandering through the streets and alleys of Sicily, searching for all kinds of local delicacies and drinks. She often buys some desserts to share with the two of them, and occasionally takes them for a walk on the beach to enjoy some rare moments of leisure.

As for Robin, she would mostly go to the island's bookstore to look for various history books and materials related to ancient scripts. Occasionally, she would also go to the shipyard with Shiraha to help improve the layout and design of the library.

There are no storms or dangers at sea, no conflicts between pirates and the navy, only this peaceful and leisurely time, for constant training and continuous progress.

As time went by, the construction of the pirate ship was also progressing steadily. The exterior of the ship was gradually completed, and the interior decoration was also underway. A voyage ship belonging to the three of them was gradually turning from blueprints into reality.

The only pity is that we haven't been able to find a chef.
