"You can't fix the Merry?! Why not?!" Luffy exclaimed, his anger starting to become visible. "Aren't you guys amazing shipwrights?! If you're worried about money, look! We've got tons!"
"It has nothing to do with money," Kaku huffed, clasping his hands together. "No matter how much you pay, that ship can't be restored to how she used to be. I'm rather impressed that you guys made it this far in the state she's in."
"What do you mean?! What's going on with the Merry?!" Nami asked.
"Do you know what a keel is, shameless girl?" Paulie chimed in, and she sweat-dropped from being called a 'shameless girl'. "That part on the bottom of the ship... It's the most important wood beam on a ship. It crosses from stem to stern and supports the ship. When you build a ship, you start off by placing the keel. Then, the stem wood, the stern wood, frame wood... frame brackets and deck beams... We accurately place all those pieces of wood around the keel. That's how a ship is built. The keel is the very foundation of a ship's framework. It's the essence of the ship. It's not something you can just replace if it takes on a lot of damage... Replacing the keel is the same as building a ship from scratch. So no one can fix her anymore. Your ship is just a collection of wood that can only await her end."
"Hey! Don't say it like that!" Nami shouted, growing increasingly nervous.
"Not my problem. That's the truth." Paulie shrugged.
"Then..." Luffy spoke up, his tone of confidence slowly faltering. "...then build a ship from scratch for us! Build the Going Merry!"
"Coo coo! That's not possible, either," Hattori interrupted, raising its wing. "We can build a similar ship, but strictly speaking, no one can build the same ship. In this world, there are no two ships that are exactly the same. Are there any trees in the world that grow exactly the same way? Sailing ships are mostly made of wood, so the size and curves of the ship are all affected by the shape of the trees. That's why an exact duplicate of the ship can't be built, even when using the same blueprint. For example, even if we build such a ship, without a doubt, the ones who would feel that it's a totally different ship... would be you guys! Coo coo!"
Nami clenched her fist, "Oh, no... Then we really can no longer travel on the Going Merry?"
"That's right. You either do nothing and wait until she sinks... or you take her apart quickly."
