Chapter 264: For the People of the World
...
"Mr. Geer! There are two more people, thank you."
After calming down, Tom first thanked Gel and his gang, and did not say anything like "Why did you come to save me? You are so stupid."
Tom's brows were filled with worry. Although it was not what he wanted, the fact was that he had escaped from the Judicial Ship and would definitely be wanted by the World Government.
"I'm sorry Mr. Geer! I misunderstood you before! I shouldn't have called you a big liar!"
Franky bowed deeply to Gol and apologized.
"Haha, it's okay, let's go, let's leave here first and talk about it on the way."
Ger said with a smile.
"Go back Rab!"
"YoYo!"
Laboo flicked his tail and began to speed across the sea.
"Mr. Tom, you can't continue to live in the Seven Waters City. Go back and pack your things and leave with our ship first."
Ger suggested.
Tom's Studio was caught unprepared for this emergency, and they couldn't think of a better solution for a moment, so they could only nod and agree.
"Thank you, Mr. Gur."
"You don't have to be so polite, Mr. Tom. Besides, my boat isn't finished yet, right? Hahaha."
Ger waved his hand.
"I'm sorry, I will finish building your ship as soon as possible, and then I will build a small boat to take them to Fishman Island to hide and avoid the World Government's wanted list. I won't cause you any trouble."
Tom said seriously.
"Hahaha, Mr. Tom, you misunderstood. That's not what I meant. You don't have to worry about causing trouble for us. Compared to your little problem, we are already heinous criminals. You can just stay and live here without worry. It is definitely safer than hiding in Fish-Man Island. Fish-Man Island will not disobey the orders of the World Government to protect you."
Tom and his companions were surprised to see that Gel didn't seem to be joking, but after thinking about it, they felt that it made sense. Who would dare to attack the Judicial Island ship so recklessly to rescue people? Could he be some vicious criminal? ?
"By the way, now that we're talking about this, why don't you consider joining us? My ship is big enough, and I'll have my own base soon. You can live on my territory, and you can use your shipbuilding skills to help me with construction."
Geer invited directly.
"This...is not good."
Tom showed obvious hesitation.
Iceberg and Kokoro didn't react much, but Franky looked very excited. The powerful strength and fearlessness of the World Government displayed by Gol and his gang had an inexplicable appeal to a child who had been rebellious since childhood.
Gel smiled and thought that it seemed that he had to take some drastic measures to treat the disease.
"Hehehehe!"
When Moriah and Kurokas, who had experienced this before, saw the captain's smile, they knew that another new partner was going to be deceived, and they also laughed.
"Mr. Tom, fishmen and mermen naturally yearn for land. You and Kokoro can get used to living on land and on Fishman Island, but humans may not be able to adapt to living under the sea for a long time. Will these two brats have to wear oxygen masks when going out like the Celestial Dragons? Hahaha."
Ger's seemingly joking words made Tom fall into deep thought.
Yes, his two disciples are human beings, how could they live under the sea for a long time?
He looked back at Franky and Iceberg, his heart full of self-blame, and the expression on his face began to become gradually complicated.
Gel continued to pursue the victory and said:
"Mr. Tom, you should be very clear about the problems that the Great Pirate Era brought to Water 7. With the sharp decline in cargo ships, the pillar industry of shipbuilding has no raw materials and can't build ships even if there are no orders. Even the basic living materials that are directly related to survival can no longer guarantee normal supply. Various contradictions are getting worse and worse. What do you think the fate of this city will be?"
"Mr. Geer! Do you have a solution?!"
Tom's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked excitedly.
Moria shook his head: You're finished.
Tom had realized this problem a long time ago, and he certainly knew that if it continued like this, the city would inevitably decline. It was only because of the sudden arrival of such a large order from Gel that the conflicts in the Seven Water City were eased to a certain extent, and he was so busy that he had no time to think about these issues carefully.
"Hahaha, the ultimate solution is of course world peace, but it's obviously impossible to achieve at the moment. And the solution I can think of is what Brother Mosang has been doing recently? Isn't the effect pretty good?"
"You mean trade?"
Tom stroked his "white beard" chin and nodded.
Compared with the money spent by Captain Gul, the high-quality and low-priced daily necessities that Mosan sold to the Seven Water City through trade are actually what really helps alleviate the pressure on the Seven Water City.
Money must be able to flow and buy things to reflect its value. Otherwise, it is just a pile of paper with numbers printed on it, and it is not even useful for wiping your butt.
"Yes, the sea is becoming increasingly unstable. Pirates are blocking the connections and trade between islands. I believe that the Seven Waters is not an exception. There must be thousands of islands and countries facing the same crisis."
Perhaps Roger's intention in opening the Great Pirate Era was to plunge the entire world into an existential crisis in this way, forcing more and more people to rise up in rebellion in order to survive.
"Next, Mosan will carry out trade activities with my support. In order to help more people, our goal is to spread our products as much as possible around the world!"
Gel hypnotized himself in his mind: I am not doing this simply to make money, I just make money while helping others.
Gel was confident that his approach was correct, because in essence it was a solution to the blocked trade between islands. The sea train plan was based on the same principle.
"To do this, we not only need cheap labor, or rather, cheap goods, but also strong power to guarantee it. We also need a large and advanced fleet to transport goods to all parts of the world. So, for the sake of so many suffering people in the world, Mr. Tom, please join us and let us fight for this cause together!"
Tom, Kokoro, Iceberg and Franky were all staring in amazement at the young man who spoke so shockingly.
Why is he so outstanding? He is so young, but he cares about all the people in the world!
When they looked at Captain Gel again at this time, they felt that his image was extremely tall and dazzling.
"It's amazing!"
"Mr. Geer is such a handsome man!"
Iceberg and Franky said with admiration.
