Chapter 13: Wolfe’s Secret Base
Chapter 13 - 13: Wolfe's Secret BaseEarly the next morning, while several people were still asleep, an old man entered their house.
After a brief commotion, everyone got dressed and gathered in the living room.
"I heard some noise here last night, so I figured you were back."
The old man looked at Rod and Naylu with relief in his eyes, then shifted his gaze to Nia and Gray, who were resting on the bed.
"Is this the crew you've found? It seems you've decided to set sail."
"Long time no see, Dr. Wolfe."
Rhodes greeted the old man with a smile. During their childhood, they had received a great deal of care from the old man.
When they had first arrived in this world, Rhodes was just a young boy, and Naylu was even younger. If Dr. Wolfe hadn't taken them in, it would have been incredibly difficult for the two children to survive. Even with Rhodes's golden finger, they might have perished before it could truly develop.
Dr. Wolfe looked at the people before him one by one, his eyes filled with emotion.
He had watched these individuals grow up, whether it was Rod and Nero, or later Law, or Penguin and Shachi. In his mind, they were like his own children, and he had always known that they weren't the type to settle for an ordinary existence.
Not to mention, they had been actively preparing to go to sea since their childhood, and he had witnessed it all.
"As a friend, this is all I can do. Come with me!"
A mysterious smile playing on his lips, Wolfe gestured to these individuals and led them towards the woods behind the mountain.
Understanding dawned in Rhodes's eyes, and he took the lead, following Wolfe. Nelu disregarded Gray's protests, lifted him from the bed, tossed him onto Bepo's back, and together they ventured into the depths of the woods.
"This is it, my re
"I just want to remind you not to install too many cannons. We don't have that many people on the ship to operate them."
Looking at Gray, who had become completely engrossed in his world, Rhodes could only shout the reminder loudly in his ear.
From his dream of building an invincible battleship that surpasses Pluton, it was evident that he was a heavy firepower enthusiast.
After receiving a mumbled affirmative response from Gray, Rhodes turned to look at Dr. Wolfe.
"It seems our shipwright wants to work alone."
"This kid should still be injured."
Looking at the bandages wrapped around Gray's body, Wolfe hesitated.
"Hahaha, didn't you also improve your device immediately after you fell from the sky?"
Snort!
Hearing Rhodes bring up his embarrassing past, Wolfe snorted coldly, then waved his hand, signaling them to leave quickly.
"Well, let's go buy some things. We need to prepare a lot of supplies when we go to sea."
In the following days, Gray was consumed by the construction of the pirate ship, engaging in intense discussions about various plans with Dr. Wolfe.
Bepo and Law were busy assisting them. They had been helping Dr. Wolfe with mechanical work since they were young, so they had some experience in this area.
Moreover, as they were about to part ways, Law also wanted to spend more time with this old man who had always taken good care of him.
As for Penguin and Shachi, they took Rhodes and his friends to the nearby Happy Town to purchase supplies. Unlike Rhodes and his group, who had arrived here later, these two had grown up here since childhood and knew the inventory of every store intimately.
Time flew by, and half a month passed quickly. Their pirate ship, fueled by Gray's fervent passion, was improved day by day and was finally completed one morning.
