Chapter 384 Peeping at Hades
Vic saw how nervous the people were and stated his purpose directly without beating around the bush. He also nodded and apologized for having come directly to their door.
However, while he was speaking, his mind was not idle. His Observation Haki had already spread out. It did not spread too far but directly enveloped the entire shipyard in his Observation Haki.
Vic had already developed his observation skills to the point where he could see real scenes, so such a small place was naturally clearly recorded in his mind.
After hearing what Vic said, the four people and the frog were obviously relieved. They just wished they weren't here to check Pluto's blueprints.
They also understood why the young navy man was able to find this place. The entire Seven Water City is famous for its shipbuilding industry. There are really many shipyards, and the craftsmanship is not bad.
In this world dominated by the ocean, ships are the most commonly used means of transportation, so every shipyard on the island is doing good business, and it is natural that there is no vacant space.
The only reason they have idle shipyards here is because they are developing sea trains and no longer build ships. It is inevitable that the rear admiral would find this place. After realizing this, they are no longer so vigilant.
"Although we have a vacant dock here, I am still a death row inmate on probation. Your world government is going to execute me. Why should I help you?"
It is reasonable that Tom, who possesses the design drawings of Pluto, knows some historical secrets. In addition, the slavery system created by the World Government has made many fishmen and mermaid compatriots slaves of the nobles. It is impossible for him to have a good impression of the World Government!
In addition, Whitebeard is now hoisting a flag to protect Fishman Island, and he used to have a good relationship with Roger, so naturally he is more inclined towards the pirates!
Being able to create a means of transportation like the Sea Train before dying was already very selfless. Naturally, he had no good feelings towards the World Government's thugs, the Navy, and his words were somewhat sarcastic.
"Navy! Please leave here, you are not welcome here!"
The person who said this was Iceberg. Just like his name, he had a rather cold personality when he was young, and he always bore a grudge against the World Government for wanting to execute his master.
As a teenager, he couldn't hide his emotions, and his disgust for Vic was directly reflected in his tone. However, he didn't dare to say anything too extreme for fear of implicating his master.
He really respects his master Tom, and has always wanted Tom to drive away Frankie, the troublemaker, for fear that Frankie might do something that would affect Tom.
But in the end, Tom died because of Franky, and Iceberg hated Franky all the time. But later he probably figured it out that the weapon ship built by Franky was just an excuse, and the real purpose was still Pluto's drawings.
That's why he later reconciled with Franky and gave Pluto's drawings to Franky for safekeeping, but on the surface the two of them still had a severance relationship in order to paralyze the people of the World Government.
It’s just that the World Government’s agents are so powerful that they even know the color of the underwear he wears every day.
"Hey! You're a big brother from the navy! Do you want to take a look at the weapon I developed? How about I sell it to you at a lower price? It's an invention of a super genius, I will definitely not let you down!
You can equip your warships with these weapons, they are much better than the current weapons. I will take you to see them after the water gods pass by!"
Franky knew that they were not here to search and did not think too much about it. His first thought when he saw Vic was to sell him the weapons he designed and make some money to support the studio.
They haven't taken on any shipbuilding business for several years, and they still have to buy a lot of materials and equipment on a regular basis. Even a wealthy family can't afford it. Vic seems to be quite kind, so maybe he's easy to fool.
While Franky was talking, he wanted to walk up to Vic and have some close contact with him, but Iceberg stopped him with a gloomy face, and he almost cursed Franky to death in his heart.
The navy said they were not here to search, right? Maybe they were just looking for an excuse to get close to him. And if he said he was a navy, did he mean he was a navy? What do you believe? You are going to keep him here, are you trying to kill everyone?
This is what Bingberg really thinks. He certainly wouldn't say it in front of Vic. He is not a stupid person.
Seeing Iceberg's actions, the big toad immediately walked to the front with bow legs from behind and blocked Franky. Kokoro didn't say anything, but just looked at Tom with a worried look.
While they were talking, Vic's Observation Haki had already scanned the entire shipyard, and finally focused his attention on the small room where Tom and the others were.
There are really a lot of drawings and materials here, but Vic still found the design drawings of Pluto, which were placed on the workbench, but covered with other drawings.
It seems that the three masters and apprentices were indeed studying the design drawings of Pluto, but they had to cover it up in a hurry because of Kokoro's reminder. It is also possible that they were well aware that the most dangerous place is the safest place, so they put it directly on the workbench and then covered it up slightly with other drawings.
Although Pluto's design drawings were pressed down, and there was a huge pile of them, this did not stop Vic. He did not show any abnormality in front of everyone in Tom's studio.
However, he used the ability of the Thunder Fruit to remotely control the movement of electrons. Originally, the charges on the drawings were balanced, but he directly controlled two adjacent pages of drawings to have the same charge.
Based on the principle that like-charged electrons repel each other, the drawing turned the pages by itself, and Victor recorded it directly using his Observation Haki.
In order to make good use of his time to read through the drawings, he did not look at the contents of the drawings in detail. He only waited until he had time to retrieve them from his mind and read them carefully.
But he also saw the heaviness of Pluto. The drawings showed both the details and the whole. There were both a schematic diagram of Pluto as a whole and detailed decomposition diagrams of each component, as well as a lot of text annotations and names!
However, many parts of things from eight or nine hundred years ago are called differently, and there are some things that I have never heard of.
But Vic saw that the paper quality of the blueprint didn't look like it was made eight or nine hundred years ago, so he was a little suspicious whether it was the original blueprint or not? Did Tom make another copy for fear of an accident?
But Vic didn't have time to think about these things now. He just wanted to scan all the drawings quickly and store them in his mind.
"I think the judge of Judicial Island made an inappropriate decision on you. You are just a businessman or a shipbuilder.
The World Government has not stipulated that being a pirate is a crime. If that were the case, there would be too many criminals, and they would all be dead!"
