Chapter 661 Saving Tom
Haiyuan calendar year 1512
During this year, Vic seldom went out and spent most of his time on practice, until the news that the fishman Tom had built the sea train interrupted his practice.
This was the news sent back by the intelligence agent he arranged to set up in Water City. Fishman Tom had built the sea train to fulfill his agreement with the Chief Justice of Judicial Island. The Chief Justice would soon re-try Tom and erase the crime he committed for building the ship for Pirate King Roger.
Vic knew that if nothing unexpected happened, Tom would die a few days before the trial, so he arranged this. Tom was also a teacher to Vic, and Vic would not watch Tom die.
Respecting the fate of others and giving up the desire to help others are aimed at people with whom you have little friendship. How could Vic let go of someone like Tom, with whom he had taught, so after receiving the news, Vic went to the Water City as quickly as possible.
The ability of Victor's Speed Fruit has awakened, and he travels even faster. When he arrives at the Water City, Spandam has not yet implemented his plan.
Vic came to the beach and cut all the boats built by Frankie into two halves with one knife, and then came to Tom's shipyard as a guest.
Franky's ship was destroyed, and Spandam lost his tool to frame Franky, but he certainly wouldn't give up easily. With the Pluto blueprint in hand, Tom and his apprentice could not stay out of it.
Even if Vic killed the leader Spandam, it would be useless. When the time came, Spandine, Spanda Cat, and Spanda Dog would also cause trouble for them. In this case, it would be better to let the idiot Spandam take charge.
"Mr. Tom! I received news that the World Government will send people to deal with you before judging you. Do you have anything that they are jealous of?"
When Vic came to Tom's studio, Tom and the others were very surprised. It had been several years since Vic last left Water City, and Iceberg and Franky had grown a lot.
Although Wick has become a pirate now, the attitudes of several people towards him have become better, especially Franky and Yokozuna. Franky has been proud of Wick since he knew he became a pirate, because he is his fellow apprentice of Katie Flame, and Franky, who has a violent gene, is simply proud of it.
Yokozuna has always been very nice to Vic, and it has nothing to do with whether he is a pirate or a navy. Animals may have more sensitive perceptions.
Tom and Granny Kokoro's attitudes have not changed. They are both fishmen and have no good feelings towards the World Government and the Navy, otherwise they would not have built a ship for Roger back then.
Only Iceberg's attitude towards Vic became much colder, but Vic didn't care. Iceberg has always been so cautious, and he can only grow up after experiencing major changes. After exchanging pleasantries with a few people for a while, Vic finally got to the point.
"This...! Where did you get this information from?"
Everyone in Tom's studio knew about the Pluto blueprints, and what Vic said was very clear, and they immediately thought of the Pluto blueprints.
Because in their eyes, Vic was unaware of the existence of the Pluto blueprints, so the authenticity of Vic's information was very high, and they did have something that the World Government was jealous of.
But they didn't know that Vic had already seen the complete set of Pluto's design drawings and memorized them all in his mind. He used some of the advanced technologies when designing the pirate ship. However, what Vic said was the truth, it was just that he was very targeted.
"Although I left the Navy, it's not too much to know a few people in the Navy Headquarters. The news came from them.
If you really have something that the world government is jealous of, they will definitely not let you go easily. Those government agents are definitely stronger than you.
I am now one of the Shichibukai under the government, so I definitely cannot attack them openly. Even if I kill all the government agents to save you this time, they will send another group of people.
As long as you are still here, the World Government will not give up, so you'd better leave Water City and find a place to hide. Don't pay attention to the trial on Judicial Island. It is for the weak. The strong will not pay attention to them at all!"
Vic still wants to make use of his status as one of the Shichibukai to grow up, so it is impossible for him to conflict with the World Government openly. Although the Five Elders will not easily abolish his status as one of the Shichibukai, he cannot show his rebellious nature to them. So if Vic wants to save Tom and the others once and for all, he has to find another way.
"Vic! Can you promise me a secret?"
"Of course!"
......
What Vic said was indeed reasonable. The newspapers had cleared Vic of his guilt. His relationship with the navy should no longer be hostile. It was normal for him to have a few good friends in the navy headquarters.
Thinking that Vic could still come to report the news and rescue at such a moment, Tom had nothing to say about Vic's character. Since Vic had promised to keep it secret, he told Vic about the Pluto design.
This is how the world is. Many people will give their lives for a word or a promise from the other party, and will also trust others immensely because of a word from others. Tom is such a person. Although Iceberg kept winking at him, Tom ignored him.
"The World Government is very afraid of this kind of weapon of mass destruction, so they want to control it in their own hands. You are really in danger. If they can't find the design of Pluto, they will not let you go even if they kill the wrong person.
Then they burned down the warehouse. Even if they couldn't get it, they would not let the Pluto design leak out to the outside world. If someone really built it, it would threaten their rule, which they would never tolerate.
Maybe the World Government's agents have been monitoring you in Water City for many years, but they are not sure whether you have the blueprints, so they did not touch you.
The World Government will definitely not want to destroy Pluto's design if they can get it. If they build it, they can strengthen their rule. The reason you haven't been in trouble until now is because of the World Government's patience.
If an impatient person were to handle this, he would definitely come up with something as a breakthrough. The best breakthrough would be if one of you got into trouble, and then there would be a handover of the Pluto design, which would expose the design. Who do you think this person would be?"
Vic knew that if he didn't make the matter more serious, Tom and Kokoro might not leave. However, Vic was not exaggerating. Most of what he said was facts, and a small part was reasonable speculation. It was well-founded and people would not think he was talking nonsense.
"Mr. Tom!..."
"Mr. Tom!..."
"Mr. Tom!..."
"Twist it! Twist it!..."
The three people and the frog spoke in unison. Only Tom remained silent. He knew that only if something happened to him would the Pluto design be passed on to Iceberg or Franky. This echoed what Vic said at the beginning. He also knew that he could no longer hold on to luck and had to make a decision.
