San Renzoa, North Blue Shipyard

Vice Admiral Crane joined Sengoku, who remained silent. Sengoku hoped the newcomer wasn't the cause; if it were, he'd show no mercy. Thoughts of the ghost ship that vanished without a soul onboard troubled him. Intuition hinted at a ghost's presence. He swiftly ordered the Marine G-S branch in North Blue to intercept and sent surveillance photos to Naval Headquarters for detailed ship information. Arias, at sea, circled towards Bangor waters, anticipating Marine investigations. Escape plans solidified, thanks to newfound magic. En route from Mignon Island to Bangor waters lies St. Lenzoa, North Blue's largest shipyard.

Hancock swiftly assessed the situation in the treasure house. With 310 million Baileys, including Jill's bounty, they had enough funds for a new ship or even to purchase Baoshu Adam. The encounter with small pirates showcased Arias' growing skill with the Op-Op Fruit ability.

Approaching Saint Lunzoa, Arias strategically dismantled the Iron Rod Pirate Ship, leaving only a wooden plank. Salome swam with the treasures, while the remaining meat had to be discarded.

Arias decided, "When we have the materials, we must prioritize crafting some sacs."

In the Shen Ji Bai Refining inheritance, Arias discovered Ma Xianhong's method for refining magic weapons, including the Slimming Furnace. Contemplating the potential of mass-producing ability users with the self-cultivation furnace, he was lost in thought.

Upon reaching the island, Arias and Hancock garnered attention, their unique abilities causing a stir. The shipyard boss, aware of their reputation, showcased the best boats, emphasizing respect for the Amazon Lily Kingdom's emperor and a Seven Warlords of the Sea.

The shipyard owner guided them through various ships, presenting options like the Romantic Rose and the Great White Shark, highlighting their features suitable for distinguished guests.

"This is the Deep Sea Fortress, equipped with bunkers—a true war machine and our largest ship," the shipyard boss enthusiastically promoted.

Despite the dazzling array of ships, Arias wasn't satisfied until he laid eyes on a half-finished masterpiece. Crafted by an old man and a young apprentice, this ship stood out with its unique and robust structure. The wood used for construction added to its allure.

Eager to make a purchase, Arias inquired about the ship's completion date. However, the shipyard owner revealed that it wasn't for sale as it was a custom order for another client who provided materials and paid the processing fee.

Perplexed, Arias contemplated the rarity of such craftsmanship and the disappointment of not being able to acquire this exceptional vessel.
