"Whats the place look like again?" Jeanne said peeping through her sniper goggles.
"Uh- Well. What do Shipwright docks look like anyway?" Leroy scratched his head.
"I saw one once." Kirk began "It was basically a big dock where ships could be brought out of the water. And the entire dock was filled with wood workers."
"Huh. I guess I should've figured that…" Leroy gave a tiny pout, becoming bored as always waiting around.
"This place is huge." Kále said with stoic eyes.
"A bit to huge…" Leroy said only for his eyes to widen, sitting forward "Wait right there! I think that's it!"
Coming around the bend was a large building on the edge of the water, the side of the Building had large sign on it, a deep beige almost brown symbol that looked like a ship's silhouette without a mast, with two tool crossed over one another in an 'X' a hammer, and the other a chisel.
Across the sign were word in Burgundy Red 'The Nuff Wrights Company' with the 'The' at the top 'Nuff Wrights ' and Company, filling the rest of the bottom.
"Yeah that's it!" Leroy pointed, to the building as the rest of the following buildings came into view
The Docks were huge. Two Large Buildings on the sides of a huge canal, as smaller buildings all with a simplified iconography of a Boat, Hammer and Chisel marking them as Nuff Wrights buildings.
Even from this distance, they could now hear the sounds of saws grinding against metal, and the loud cacophony of wood scrapping against a more sturdy surface. The symphony of sound was topped off by the sounds of hammers against wood.
As the crew came closer, the sight of a mighty Galleon hoisted into the air by a large crane and pulley system along with constructed struts and scaffolding to support the bottom of it.
"Wow…" Jeanne and Leroy practically said at the same time. They couldn't see all of the shipwright dock, but just from the peaks, it was intense.
Pulling the sails up, the Ship slowed to a stop as the Capstan spun, anchor dragging against the deep water forcing the ship to a stop. Docking at the dock in front
The Building they came to a stop in front of just so happened to be the Administrative building for the Nuff Wright company, given away by the words that said 'Main Building' across the front in white stenciled letters.
After departing from the ship, and walking down the dock they cracked the large front doors open and walked in.
"Good morning. Welcome to The Nuff Wright Company, Port 1. How may I assist you this wonderful afternoon?" Spoke an attractive young man with a slim face and short bright green hair that was swooped in a combover. He also wore a pair of denim pants with thick leather suspenders over a plain white shirt. Finally, around his neck, was a checkered brown handkerchief with the front fold tucked into his collar.
"My name is Malle." He set his pen down.
"Man…This place is fancy." Leroy spoke aloud, looking to the tile floor and huge ceiling. The corners were each carved with swirls ending at the top that flared out.
"Yeah, and it's almost entirely quiet too." Dezzi rubbed their ears.
"Heheh. Thats because the Admin Building is almost entirely Soundproof. The Director made sure of that."
"Soundproof?!" Jeannes interest was peaked at that.
"Yes, using a custom weave of cotton and steel the outside noise is almost entirely blocked out."
Suddenly, a raging explosion rang out! Breaking through the sound proofing and rumbling against the ground.
"What the hell was that?!" Noir grimaced
"Except- For that…" Malle pinched his nose, before turning and running out the side door, pulling a large workers belt and wrapping it around his waist.
The Crew looked to each other, some deciding to stick behind only for that thought to be brushed away as Leroy broke into a sprint across the tile floor and burst through the door
"L-Leroy!" Kirk shouted meeting the Captain mere moments later.
The Docks weren't just big, they were ginormous. Sprawled across a flattened surface were many small docks that had scaffolding raising from the ground with large machines and cranes attached to the From Ships the size of Dinghys and Fishing Boats like the group had sailed from the rose arbor, to Ships that were almost a hundred meters tall from keel to mast!
Workers and Shipwrights carved a huge pieces of wood planers, hammering large ludicrous sized nails into wood with sledge hammers. Others carrying loads of timber as well.
With in view of the crew and sticking out as some would say an Achievement, was a Morray Array! This one was huge, smaller than the one in Arabasta that Jeanne had said, but this one was half a dozen meters tall, and instead of being large and wide, this one was large and tall. Eels swimming up and down the large tube.
"Caliope! ! !" Yelled a voice as another rumble shot through the ground and off in the distance a shed with a trail of smoke coming out of it exploded open!
From within a young looking figure with bright pink hair skated out on a skateboard, before activating a jet booster that sent her flying across the way at Mach 5!
"Look out, dude!" The feminine voice yelled as they came right for Leroy! Ducking down with out any effort at all, Leroys eyes turned and watched as the figure now seen to be a feminine figure spewed over him! Up and over the far wall with a resounding splash!
"Hah…That Damn Kid…" Spoke an exacerbated voice, coming to a breathless stop in front of the crew, Malle coming behind him.
