April 1522, 4 in the lunar calendar
In the world of One Piece, there is no so-called "April Fool's Day", but even if there is a so-called "April Fool's Day", then what happened on this day may seem to be the same as "April Fool's Day" to everyone in the East China Sea.
The east port of the Corn Kingdom used to be an uncultivable wasteland of the Corn Kingdom, but now this land is not only crowded with people, but has also been transformed into the second largest port of the Corn Kingdom.
Of course, starting today, this port also undertakes another task, which is to serve as the starting station and terminal station of the first sea train in the East China Sea.
And today is the opening ceremony of this sea train named 'Yuliang'!
As early as more than a week ago, "Donghai News", which was acquired by Kuina, had started to continuously publish news about sea trains. After a week of news campaigns and publicity, there are huge crowds of people who came to the Corn Kingdom today!
A simple stage was set up at the port, and Habu, the general manager of Yuliang Group, introduced the sea train to the audience.
The starting point of this sea train is the Kingdom of Corn, passing through the Kingdom of Goa, Glass Bead Island, Pepper Town, Shields Town, Orange Town, Cocoyasi Village, Rose Principality, and Big Mushroom Town.
This sea train has a total of 9 stations, which can shorten the sailing time between these islands to nearly half of the original time, and at the same time, the travel between islands is more convenient and faster.
At the same time, the sea train also has the function of transporting goods, which can increase the speed of goods transshipment between islands.
As for the price, it is also cheaper than everyone expected. The half-way and full-time prices of this line are 200 Berry and 400 Berry respectively. At the same time, more favorable monthly cards, quarterly cards and annual cards are also launched.
Today, the first opening of the 'Yuliang' will be a trial run for free, and souvenirs of the sea train will also be given randomly.
When it comes to tailoring, Habu will also introduce the boatmen and shipwrights from the water capital one by one. Bao Li and others were also driven to the stage, but when they saw the crowd cheering for the sea train they built, it was worth the hard work of more than half a year. At the same time, it seemed to evoke the excitement and excitement when they saw the sea train for the first time when they were young.
With the sound of the salute, the first sea train "Yuliang" in the East China Sea was officially put into operation!
"Nuo Qigao, hurry up, otherwise there will be no seats. I heard that the first 50 passengers will be given a season pass for free, and the top 10 passengers will be given a free annual pass!"
"Wait for me, Nami! There are too many people here! I can't squeeze in, wait. Nami, Jian seems to have lost us!"
Nami, Nuo Qigao and the others saw the overwhelming publicity about sea trains in "Donghai Shimbun" a week ago. Of course, there is another reason because the island where Cocoyasi Village is located is also one of the stations of the sea train. Of course, there are several villages on the island besides Nami's village, but because Cocoyasi Village has a better geographical location, it was selected as the station.
In the end, Nami, Nuo Qigao, and Ah Jian finally got on the "Yuliang", but Nami still complained that Ah Jian kept them from getting the top 10 rewards.
However, with the sound of the sea train starting, Nami was slowly attracted by this novelty sea train.
Unlike sailboats that rely on wind power, this one relies on the steam power of coal fires, which can actually make a metal box move, and even go much faster than ordinary sailboats. These things are refreshing Nami's cognition step by step.
That night, after Nami recorded all the fresh knowledge about the sea train today in her diary, she couldn't help finding a chart again, and this chart was exactly the one about the 'Great Channel' that Bucky stole from Big Mushroom Town.
Of course, this chart also reminded Nami of the man who rescued herself from the abyss.
"Are you looking at this chart again?"
Suddenly a voice came from behind Nami, and Nami quickly covered the chart, but Nuo Qigao smiled and said: "Nami, I know you also want to go out to sea for adventure, so don't give up your dream just because you care about me, do what you want to do!"
"I don't have any! I just happen to be packing things!"
Faced with Nami's stubbornness, Nuo Qigao shook his head helplessly, and then said with a smile: "Okay, then hurry up and eat, I made orange roast duck today!"
"Well, well! Really, I'm coming down."
Nami subconsciously glanced at the chart on the table before leaving the door, and then went downstairs to eat,
And with the successful operation of the sea train, it also successfully detonated the entire East China Sea. For a while, the topic of the sea train became a topic of leisure for many people, even among pirates and the navy.
Every day, there are an endless stream of people who come to visit, and slowly people also call it the 'Eastern Sea Train'.
On the same day as the trial operation of the East China Sea train, a new thing named 'Yuliang Bank' also quietly appeared, but everyone has not yet realized the important role of this new thing called 'Bank'.
Great Channel, Quiet Belt, 48 Season Island
Shire, half-naked to the waist, was sitting under a waterfall meditating quietly, letting the waterfall wash away and still standing still. At the same time, there were two swords on Shire's lap sitting cross-legged, one 'Xue Xun', and the other was a wooden sword!
And beside the stream formed by the waterfall, many animals came to rest. It seems that Shire under the waterfall was not found at all. At this time, Shire seems to be fused with nature, and everything is so harmonious.
As Charles slowly opened his eyes, a pair of deep silver eyes flashed past, and then returned to their original appearance.
"lilu~lilu!"
After meditating and practicing at the waterfall, Mary Luli handed a towel to Charles.
"Thank you, Mary Lully!"
Mary Luli also responded to Charles with a warm smile. For the past two months, Charles had to meditate under the waterfall almost every day, because after he discovered the realm of "Wooden Sword Without Compassion", the improvement in swordsmanship is not the main thing, but the understanding of "Tao" is more important.
It is also the transformation from "shu" to "fa" to "dao", from swordsmanship, swordsmanship to kendo!
Of course, the "Dao of Sword" here is a more abstract concept, and it can also be understood as the running track of everything, which is a realm that directly points to the root and law at a deeper level!
Starting from the "Wooden Sword Invincible Realm", Shire has officially stepped into the real "Doo of the Sword" practice!
