Codex Pirates

Chapter 112 Tom's Studio

The great route, the capital of seven waters.

This city, once famous for its shipbuilding technology, is now more and more dilapidated and unworthy of its name.

The advent of the era of great pirates may be a wonderful era for those ambitious and ambitious, but it is nothing more than a nightmare for those who intend to live a stable life.

This city located on the water, because it is hit by a tsunami every year, the island does not have the main materials to support shipbuilding-steel and wood, everything can only be imported from the outside world.

However, due to the opening of the Great Pirate Era, more and more pirates are raging on the sea, coupled with the fierce and changeable sea climate of the Great Route, all these hinder the transactions between the Seven Waters Capital and the outside world.

The increase in the price of materials will reduce the profit of the shipyard, and the economic downturn in the overall environment will lead to a decrease in the business of the shipyard. In order to grab orders, the various shipyards in the capital of seven waters even often fight.

All of this, coupled with the increasing number of unemployed people, has led to the deterioration of law and order in the entire city, and the reputation is getting worse and worse. Few people are willing to come to this city, and the unemployment rate has further increased. The indifference to children and the inaction of government agencies has led to the lifelessness of this city.

Faced with this situation, many people who grew up in this city had pessimistically believed that sooner or later this city would become an isolated island and a dead city submerged in sea water.

Many people with conditions have already tried their best to escape from this city with no hope for the future.

But in the end, the city was kicked out by the city residents because of helping Roger the Pirate King build ships. He could only open the shipbuilding studio under a bridge full of garbage debris outside the city. A murloc, a talented man, Injustice, saved and changed by a man who has reason to loathe the city!

Murloc Tom, the number one shipbuilder in the world, was excluded by the residents of the Seven Waters Capital because he once built ships for Roger the Pirate King, and was sentenced to death by the world government 14 years ago.

But in court, Tom the Murloc expressed his conception and design of the sea train, which successfully impressed the judges and the crowd present, and allowed him to get a ten-year probation period to build the sea train.

And Murloc Tom also kept his word. During these ten years, he completed the design and construction of the first sea train, and then opened three new lines in four years, fulfilling his promise. More importantly, he gave the city hope.

The opening of the sea train not only brought a new means of transportation to the city of Seven Waters, but more importantly, this project, which was originally not favored by most local shipbuilders, went out of the blueprint and became a reality. The miracle has somewhat restored the confidence of the local people.

Not long afterward, they discovered that sometimes life cannot be reversed by one or two miracles. The opening of the sea train has indeed made the trade and communication between Seven Waters Capital and the outside world much more convenient, but it does not help the change of the overall environment. .

Pirates are still running rampant on the sea, the capital of seven waters is still unable to produce shipbuilding materials, and the world economy is still in a downturn as a whole.

The wood from St. Poplar and the steel from St. Pruitt, seeing the plight of the capital of seven waters, sold their products at extremely high prices. In the end, the city's shipyard was still in deficit.

The shipyards are still fighting all day long to compete for orders and meager profits. The sea train has become the hope of the city, and it is only a hope.

But in any case, compared to the previous lifelessness, the city has changed a lot. People praised Tom the Murloc who brought this change, and everyone believed that the Murloc who made such contributions to the city Tom can escape from the hands of the world government, even a few people in Tom's studio think so.

It's just that everyone is innocent and guilty, the city of seven waters, apart from the reputation of being a shipbuilding capital and known for its technology, few people know that it is also an ancient weapon and the birthplace of the battleship "Pluto". land.

Today, more than ten years after the start of the Great Pirate Era, pirates are increasing day by day, both in terms of strength and number. Even with the power of the world government, they gradually feel powerless in the face of such a situation. In view of this situation, some of the world government The high-level officials believe that the government's attitude should be changed, from trying to prevent the resurrection of ancient weapons to trying to obtain the power of ancient weapons, so as to end the chaos of the era of great pirates.

Spandam, the chief executive of CP5, a subordinate agency of the world government, is a high-level person who holds this view, and he also persuaded the top leader of the government, the "Five Old Stars", to let the Five Old Stars agree, and he will be responsible for finding a way to put the warship first. Hold the design drawings of "Pluto" in your hand, and then make a long-term plan.

It's just that when Spandam came to the capital of seven waters, even if he turned the city upside down, he didn't get even a little news about the design of "Pluto".

It wasn't until Spandam was almost disheartened that he felt that the design might not be the capital of seven waters, so he went to the tavern to drink away his sorrows, only to hear that there was a great shipbuilder here, just because Accidentally ran to the bottom of the bridge to settle down, so I avoided his sight before.

Spandam almost put his only hope of finding the blueprints on this Murloc Tom, but when he found Murloc Tom, he was only perfunctory for a while, and then was thrown out of the door.

Outside the door of Tom's studio, Spandam was thrown straight out of the door and fell on his back. He struggled to turn over and knelt down, but suddenly found a pair of brown leather shoes in front of him.

Spandam looked up and saw a lieutenant commander in a white uniform looking down at him.

The lieutenant commander had dark skin and dark circles under his eyes. He looked like a consumptive ghost, but when Spandam saw him, he seemed to see a savior.

"You must be the navy of the headquarters!" Spandam got up quickly, pointed to the dilapidated studio facade behind him, and said to the lieutenant commander, "There is a criminal resisting arrest, you go and catch him!"

The lieutenant commander didn't move, he just looked up at the studio door which was quietly opened by the people inside, and asked slowly: "Who are you? Are you qualified to order me?"

Spandam was taken aback, and then said in a bad tone: "I am the chief of CP5, Spandam, do you know what department CP5 is? Also, do you know who my father is? Let me tell you.... "

"Forget it, you don't need to tell me, seeing that you are so stupid to be a government official, I know that your father must be a high-ranking official." The lieutenant commander waved his hand in disgust to interrupt Spandam, "The criminal you just mentioned, You mean Mr. Tom? You are still an official of the government, and you don’t even know about the investigation beforehand. He has an agreement with the judicial department of the world government. As long as he builds a sea train, the crime of building a ship for One Piece can be written off.”

Spandam was furious at the other party's words at first, and then said in disbelief: "You're talking nonsense! People who have something to do with Roger can also get away with it!?"

"Believe it or not." The lieutenant commander said casually.

After Spandam took people out of here and was about to go to the city to confirm the news, the door of Tom's studio was opened again.

Two apprentices of Murloc Tom, Esbagu and Carter Flam, came out from inside.

"Ajin, are you here again?" Carter Flam was wearing only a pair of briefs. He walked up to Ajin, scratched his crotch carelessly, and said, "It's useless, Mr. Tom can't go to the East China Sea. Yes, the trial will be held soon, and by then he will definitely be released without guilt, and become the hero of this city, and it is even more impossible for him to leave."

"What about you?" Ajin, who had been promoted to major, asked.

The two young men who regarded Tom as their master and father shook their heads in unison.
