Chapter 275 Bird's Nest
...
While Gel was guessing wildly, everyone had already arrived at the tall castle complex located in the center of the entire island.
"Boom!"
Weevil stepped forward and gently pushed the heavy castle door open.
Evil spirits took the opportunity to sneak in, filling the castle with dust.
"Cough cough cough~!"
Gel coughed twice and reached out to brush off the dust in front of him.
I saw
The castle was in a mess, with everything covered in dust and cobwebs, but it still couldn't conceal its former magnificence as a royal palace.
The corpses near the castle and inside the castle are also obviously different from the bones on the roadside. As strong men, their physical strength is far beyond that of ordinary people, so even if they have been dead for a long time, their corpses are still very well preserved. Some of them can even clearly see what they looked like when they were alive. They do not follow the law that all carbon-based creatures are equal after death at all.
There was no one encountered along the way, and the castle was also dead silent.
"Captain, no signs of life were found."
Senior said after returning from his inspection.
"Hehehe, Boss Gel, none of the bats I released after arriving on the island were found."
What a pity. I thought there would be one or two devil fruit users who could extract it for me.
Gel nodded when he heard this.
"It seems that either they all died together or the last survivor has already boarded a boat and left this damn place."
Having said that, Captain Gill, who suffered from mild paranoia, still cautiously asked everyone to use their Observation Haki and carefully checked the entire place several times before he was relieved.
Don't wait until the next owner of the invisibility fruit is an old woman or a gay, and then he peeks at you taking a bath, you will be at a big loss.
When going out, not only girls but boys as well need to learn to protect themselves.
...
In the castle hall.
"Bang!"
Gel kicked away an armored corpse, squatted on the throne in the middle and announced with disgust.
"Hahaha, all right, everyone. From now on, this is our territory. In the next period of time, we are going to build it into a beautiful and comfortable home."
"Homeland?"
Everyone smiled with longing when they heard this.
No kidding, Captain Gir is not targeting anyone, I just want to say that among everyone here, except Bia who still has a father, everyone else is an orphan!
One by one, even the three pets, Lab and Qiu'er are clearly orphans, and the remaining Po has become the hope of the whole village, but he has become the leader of the Kung Fu Manatees. According to the plot, the old leader is 9% gone.
Captain Gill felt sad when he suddenly realized that this group of people couldn't even find a complete pair of parents.
No, it seems there is something important that needs to be put on the agenda.
Gel jumped down from the throne, walked down the platform and came in front of everyone. He set up a huge round table and sat around it with everyone. He said:
"It's more convenient to sit close to each other like this. I don't know what these kings are thinking. Do they have to talk with a loudspeaker all day long?"
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
"Okay, now let's talk about our next plans."
"Hehehe, Captain, before that, shouldn't we first give our base camp a name?"
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement with Moria's proposal.
"Um...name?"
Faced with the surprise inspection, Geer frowned and thought about it.
"Have it!"
Suddenly thinking of the concentric circle shape of the three-masted sailing ship, Captain Gill snapped his fingers and laughed:
“Let’s call it the Bird’s Nest! It not only symbolizes the birth of new life and the placement of new hopes, but also represents a home and a safe haven that can provide shelter. It’s just right.”
"Bird's Nest? What a great name! You are worthy of being the captain!"
Everyone gave thumbs up and praised. This time, Gel accepted the praise with peace of mind, because this was definitely a very high-level name!
After that, Gel began to make detailed arrangements for what everyone should do next.
First, let Moria select the strongest 200 warrior corpses, and use the pirate shadows collected on the road to make more than zombies.
If Gel released the two hundred or so pirates that Stella had turned into toys, he would suddenly have five hundred free laborers who would not eat or drink.
The first thing he did was to order these "hard-working little bees" to clean up the island first, collect all the corpses of ordinary people, burn them into ashes, and then bury them in the back mountain.
Dust returns to dust, and although it became fertilizer, Captain Gill still helped them erect a stone tablet. What a nice man.
Akin and Brook are responsible for sailing on the Mingwang, taking a group of newcomers and three group pets out for training and capturing pirates in the surrounding waters.
Don't be fooled by the fact that they all look ferocious and sinful. Every pirate in Captain Gill's hands will become two strong laborers, without eating or drinking and with zero emissions.
Let’s set a small goal first, catch 1 of them!
In the bird's nest, the zombies and toy puppets began working day and night, repairing and upgrading the giant three-masted ship under the command of chief engineer Mr. Tom.
Tom didn't expect that he would have to take on such a huge project right after he had just finished renovating the Ming Wang. Fortunately, he had Yokozuna and Kokoro to help, and occasionally Iceberg and Franky would come back to help. Moreover, these zombies and toy people are really powerful at work. Each of them is a strongman with strength far exceeding that of ordinary people. Hundreds of people working together can do any work quickly.
Tom was in command and did a great job.
Despite this, he was so busy that he lost half a pound. Although it is only half a pound, it is already exaggerated. Now the food is so good every day, and Tom himself has a physique that is prone to obesity. Instead of gaining dozens of pounds, he lost half a pound. You can imagine how tiring his job is.
But he enjoys it, smiles every day, and is very satisfied with his current life.
Mosan and Tezoro were also busy planning the caravan. Fanny and Stella were appointed due to nepotism and became the finance and secretary respectively.
Fate took charge of the kitchen with several toy dolls who were originally chefs on their respective ships.
Gel planned a smaller castle next to the main castle for Kurokas to use as a hospital. He could finally display all the medical equipment and experimental equipment he had bought in the Drum Kingdom, and dry the herbs in the former royal parade square.
Of course, the sun is also man-made, jointly developed by Captain Gill and his apprentice Franky Tom, and hung on the highest main mast in the middle of the three-masted sailing ship. The timer switch can allow Captain Gill to resume his normal life with day and night, and the artificial sunlight will not let the pirates who have lost their shadows disappear into ashes.
Moria was busy tinkering with his several super zombies that were famous and very unusual during their lifetime.
Everyone is busy.
At times like this, reckless men like Barrett and Weibull are the most useless. They only know how to eat and exercise all day long. They are only useful when something super heavy needs to be lifted on the construction site.
Everything is going on in an orderly manner.
