Chapter 249 The Iron Fist of Love
...
Although he was dazed for a long time, Barrett was as fast as lightning. He lightly tapped his feet and took a step back to quickly pull the tip of the fishing rod out of the attack range.
"Humph! Too slow!"
"Damn it! It's not over yet! Take my scorpion tail!"
Enel's unexpected first attack was dodged, but he was not surprised or disappointed. He continued to swing the fishing rod, and saw that the oversized lead ball the size of a tennis ball and a palm-sized teardrop-shaped three-pronged anchor hook on the fishing line attacked Barrett's back of the head at an extremely tricky angle.
If an ordinary person were to receive this blow, his head would have exploded, but knowing that his opponent was not an ordinary person, Enel used all his strength without hesitation.
"Whoosh!"
There was a sound of breaking wind.
Barrett didn't even look at it, he just tilted his head to avoid the incoming fishhook, and reached out his hand, accurately clamping the flying shot put with his index finger and thumb.
Damn it! Can't even hit this? What a pervert! I've been thinking about this trick for so long, and it's okay to just touch it!
Seeing that the second attack missed, Enel's momentum instantly weakened.
"I have to admit, your attack method with this unusual weapon is a bit weird, but that's all! You have no speed, and no strength. Such a light attack is nothing but a tickle even if you hit it a hundred times. Haha, are you ready to get beaten? Next, I'll show you what attacking is!"
Barrett said this with a dangerous grin on his face.
But Enel's eyes suddenly lit up, and he pointed at Barrett's hand and shouted happily:
"Wait! You lost! Haha, you've already lost. You said you would only use one finger to fight me! You already used two!! Hahaha! Hahaha! I won!!... Hey, what are you doing! Ah!! Why are you still so angry! Captain! Take care of him!"
"Ahhhhh!!"
Enel let out heart-wrenching screams.
For his growth, Captain Gol had no choice but to wait until Enel was beaten enough before stepping in to stop him.
"Humph! This lesson is to make you understand! On the battlefield, the enemy will not reason with you!!"
Barrett said this seriously, but anyone could see that he was absolutely furious and wanted to take the opportunity to teach this poor newcomer a lesson.
"Ah! Damn it! You bastard!"
Enelu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said unconvincedly.
Then there were still bursts of screams on the boat.
"You want to kill me? You're so heavy-handed!"
"Being beaten to death only proves that you are too weak! You haven't made much progress. It seems that you have been slacking off in training recently!"
Barrett blew on his smoking fist and taunted.
"Damn it! One day I'm going to be better than you, stronger than you, and beat the shit out of you!"
After the game, Enel was still stubborn and made harsh remarks, and he almost got beaten again. Fortunately, Captain Gol took action in time.
"Take the medicine for your injury. I'll give you three days off. Go have fun. Remember to come back for training after three days, or I won't stop you from getting beaten."
Gel handed him a large stack of Baileys and smiled.
"Wow, thank you, Captain~ I understand, the Captain is the best to me!!"
Only then did Enel's sadness turn into joy. He made a sour face and snorted at Barrett, then quickly jumped off the boat and disappeared.

City of Seven Waters
The shipyard closest to the wreck island was bustling with people.
"Hey, I heard that some high-quality wood has been shipped in? Can we start the work today? I hope we won't be excited for nothing again this time?"
"Yes, I finally got a job, but it's so hard. If Mr. Tom hadn't paid me part of the wages in advance, my family would have been starving! If I can't do this job anymore, I really have to consider changing my career."
"What kind of career do you want to change? What else can you do besides building ships? Hey! You don't want to be a damn pirate, do you?"
"Now that you mention it, I am strong and powerful, and I am also a good fighter. I should be able to get good treatment if I join the pirate group, right?"
"Don't worry about the treatment. We brothers will bury you right now! We will take care of your wife and children!"
As one of them said this, he picked up a pickaxe and pretended to hit him.
"Hey, hey, don't get excited, don't get excited, big brother. I was wrong. I was just kidding. I have a wife and kids. How could I be so irresponsible as to become a pirate?"
"Okay, stop arguing. Don't worry. There are so many things there. Can't you see? It must be time to start work."
"That's good, that's good. Anyway, this is too big, a huge project! We can take it easy for a while!"
"Nonsense, Mr. Tom can do as much as more than a dozen of us. If it weren't for such a big job, there would be no need for so many of us to gather here."
"Yes, yes, thank you so much, Mr. Tom, for being willing to give us competitors a chance to eat."
The outstanding shipbuilders from the Seven Water Capitals gathered here and discussed in low voices, and many of them revealed their worries and confusions about their future.
"Wow! OH~OH~"
When Iceberg and Franky excitedly lifted the cover, revealing three huge, thick and long logs inside, Tom's studio and the top shipbuilders in Water City who were called over by Tom to help cheered in unison!
They were all like a creepy old man seeing a super sexy beauty, and all their previous troubles were thrown behind them in an instant.
Even the old shipwright Tom was so excited that he was like a child. He could hardly maintain his calm appearance. He walked around the wood again and again, touching it from time to time, and said with a hearty laugh:
"Hahahaha! Great! What a nice and good wood! With this wood, I can definitely build a nice and good boat!"
"Wow, Mr. Gel is so handsome! So amazing! Such a big Adam tree, and there are three of them. The price must be very expensive!"
The outgoing little Franky ran up to Gel, patted him on the back, and asked loudly.
"Haha, it's not that expensive. I just happened to meet a friend who bought it and gave it to me. It probably cost less than 10 billion."
Gel touched Franky's prickly sky blue hedgehog head and said with a smile.
"What? One billion Baileys! Damn, I'm so envious of you. Why don't I have such a generous friend like Benshan, who is so stingy."
Franky sighed with envy.
"Hey! You idiot Franky! Are you talking so loudly because you're afraid that I can't hear you talking bad about me behind my back? Also, please use honorifics when talking to customers! You idiot!"
Iceberg, who was a few years older, spoke and acted like a little adult. Seeing Franky being so rude, he couldn't help but scold him.
"Lululu, I said it on purpose so you could hear me! You idiot, Mr. Gel won't bother with me about this, right? Mr. Gel."
"Damn you! How rude of you!"
