Chapter 383 Tom's Studio
There may not be direct technical support on the Pluto drawings, but many of the design concepts on it are still worth referring to, so it is necessary to take out the Pluto drawings for study from time to time. If this is seen by the navy, the sea train will no longer be able to operate, and everyone will be sent to the guillotine together!
"This is Tom's shipyard! No wonder this is the only empty place on the island. It's not that the shipyard is abandoned, but Tom is probably still researching the sea train and has no extra time to take on shipbuilding business.
Otherwise, with his skills, he probably doesn't have time to spare. This should be the base of Tom's studio. I wonder how far they have researched the sea train!"
When Vic saw the Kokoro mermaid, he understood everything. Tom, the legendary shipwright of the merman clan, was sentenced to death for building a ship for the Pirate King Roger!
But Tom told the judge about his idea of the sea train. The judge also felt that if the sea train could be made, it would definitely be a great epoch-making invention. It would not be a bad idea to let Tom give it a try. He would not lose anything by living a few more years. Therefore, he gave Tom ten years to develop the sea train. If he failed to make it, he would still be dead.
So Tom and his two disciples continued to experiment with the sea train, and the shipyard's dock became a temporary studio. The shipbuilding business naturally stopped. How could they have the time to do that? They probably just wished they would die.
Seven years have passed since Roger was executed, and there are still three years left. The sea train is definitely nowhere to be found, and there may not even be a half-finished product.
But since there is an vacant dock here, Vic naturally has to discuss it with old Tom. He just doesn't know whether Tom will agree. After all, they are navy people, and Tom has the design drawings of Pluto.
Tom admired Roger and even built a ship for him, but the World Government wanted to kill him because of Pluto's design drawings. They just didn't touch him in order to seize the drawings. He was on guard against the people of the World Government, and he probably didn't have much good feelings towards the Navy, so it was not certain whether he would help.
The fact that Kokoro deliberately spoke loudly just now was enough to show their vigilance against the navy. Vic was not optimistic.
Vic naturally knew that Tom had the design drawings of Pluto. If he reported this information, the resistance to him becoming the admiral of the navy would be greatly reduced, but Vic would not do that.
But if he had the chance, he would also like to take a look at Pluto's design drawings. What kind of black technology was used to destroy an island with one shot? He also wanted to learn from it, as it would definitely be useful in the future.
In the past, he could remember everything he saw, but the drawings were a little different. Most of them were lines, and the text only served as an introduction. His previous photographic memory was not quite up to par.
But after he ate the mysterious fruit, his mental power has become even stronger. Now he can remember things as if they were photos in his brain. No matter whether it is text or lines, they are all extremely clear and are on a completely different level from before.
Just let him take a casual look at it. No one would think that he could remember the contents on it with just one glance. It's just that it's hard to say whether there is such an opportunity. He will not be violent against a legendary shipbuilder like Tom. After all, he has the ability to destroy an island with one blow. He is just a little interested in Pluto and the technology on it.
Just as Vic was still thinking, some crackling sounds came from the bright room where his sight had just sensed the presence of living creatures, and then several figures hurried out.
At the front is a tall, chubby, cat-like fishman with gills on his neck. This is the legendary shipbuilder Tom the Fishman, the leader of Tom's Studio.
At this time, there were a few drops of cold sweat on Tom's forehead. Behind him was a thin young man with purple hair and a gloomy expression on his face. This was an iceberg with a natural poker face. After he came out, he looked at Vic with a bad face.
The third one that came out was originally a tall and fat toad, but it was pushed to the back by a blue-haired boy with a crew cut behind him.
The big toad just made a dissatisfied cry and did not use its muscular forelimbs to smack the boy who was squeezing it to the ground.
The man with blue hair and crew cut is none other than Franky, the boatman in Straw Hat Boy. He is wearing a short-sleeved shirt that exposes his chest, and only a pair of black shorts. He looks like a pervert.
But now he is called Katti Frame, and he makes a lot of noise as soon as he comes out. The big toad is a yokozuna, and should be brought by Tom from Fishman Island. It is probably difficult to find a big toad with hair and who practices sumo on land.
This big toad is really loyal to Tom and his apprentice. When Tom was taken away by the sea train, Franky used his body to block the sea train and almost died. After that, Yokozuna followed suit and kept blocking the sea train on the track. He was covered with wounds, but it also made his body stronger.
It's a pity that the innocent man was guilty of possessing the treasure. The Tom Studio was torn to pieces by Spandam. If the Straw Hat Pirates had not arrived, all the members of Tom Studio would probably have been killed.
You have to know that at that time, the Carrera Company of Iceberg had been infiltrated by CP9 and turned into a sieve. Franky's identity had long been exposed, and the design drawings of Pluto were useless no matter who they had.
Spandam, who has obtained the Pluto blueprint, will not leave any insiders behind. The big toad Yokozuna should be ignored, but with Yokozuna's loyal character, he will probably go directly to the Judicial Island to fight desperately, and he will die in the end.
When they saw Vic, they knew he was not someone to be trifled with. Although this navy officer had a faint smile on his face, his eyes were as bright as stars. He was young but already had the cloak of justice. He was a senior officer of the navy.
Moreover, behind this person there is a ring drum with a mysterious pattern floating in the air. Each person holds a drum, giving them the feeling that they are looking up at a towering mountain burning with flames. The momentum alone is astonishing.
In addition, this person was able to enter the dock silently, and even Kokoro who was cooking on it did not notice it. This young navy man is definitely not simple!
However, only Tom and Kokoro noticed it. Iceberg and Franky were still teenagers. They could sense something by instinct, but they had no experience or knowledge to support it. However, they had a consensus in their hearts that if the navy took action, they would have no power to resist!
"Don't be nervous. This is what happened. Our warship sailed nearby, but encountered a tsunami here, so we wanted to find a place that was sheltered from the wind and water to store the warship. But I searched the entire island and found that only this place was empty. I'm sorry for coming here uninvited!"
