There is a garbage disposal site under the bridge on the northeast coast of the Seven Waters City. People piled abandoned shipwrecks there. Over time, it became the material collection place for Tom's studio.
‘The Warehouse Under the Bridge’, the headquarters of Tom Shipbuilding Studio.
"Welcome to Tom's Studio! Do you need shipbuilding or repair... eh? Old Man Haoxue!?" After knocking on the door, the person who opened the door was a blue-haired airplane head wearing only swimming trunks and a floral shirt. He said in his mouth
He was repeating his lines in a dull and unwavering way until he saw Haoxue looking at him with a smile outside the door.
"Little pervert, long time no see." Haoxue smiled and slapped the blue-haired plane head on the back of the head: "We have several ladies here, go back and put on your pants!"
It seemed that Haoxue had not been short of 'educating' the blue-haired pilot before. The latter swallowed and spat but did not dare to refute, so he could only walk to the back room angrily, muttering something in his mouth as he walked: "What... I'll beat you up as soon as we meet.
Man, does my head feel good? I miss you so much..."
"Yeah! Franky, who is outside the door?" A well-proportioned young man with black lips and half-length blue hair walked out of the back room, looked at the door in confusion, and then shouted in surprise: "Mr. Haoxue
!Mr. Tom, Mr. Haoxue came to see us! Come out quickly!"
"Hao Xue?" A tall, fat fishman with a white beard also squeezed out of the back room, looked out the door blankly, and then laughed happily: "Tahahaha!!...!!...!!
…!!”
"Tom, your strange way of laughing has never changed." Haoxue also laughed: "Be careful of laughing until you lose your breath."
"Mr. Tom, how can you leave guests outside the door like this? Bingshan, go and watch Franky and ask him to put on his pants." A graceful woman came out, but she
But her face was a bit... full of imagination. She greeted everyone with a smile: "Everyone, come in quickly. I'm going to make tea."
In the living room, Frankie, who was wearing cropped trousers, and Bingshan, who was wearing a black headscarf, sat aside, looking at the guests with some restraint.
This is not to blame for their low self-esteem. Whether it is Victor's confident and high-ranking temperament, Robin's quiet and elegant intellectual beauty, or Wu Hongji's heroic demeanor with charming exotic style, the two of them have not seen each other often.
The worldly young man didn't know how to talk. Moreover, Haoxue was not as good-tempered as Mr. Tom. When he visited before, he often violently taught the two of them a lesson in the name of "Mr. Tom's brother". Fortunately, Bingshan was really beaten by Frankie.
Afraid of being beaten.
On the other side, Haoxue just introduced both parties.
"Little brother Victor, it's really amazing that you can persuade this old stubborn man to come out of his mountain." Tom burst out laughing as he spoke: "My brother is a well-known man. He has been telling the truth since he was a child, hahahaha
!!…!!…!!…!!”
Soon, Tom was laughing so hard that he almost lost his breath.
"Mr. Tom, you don't have to smile so exaggeratedly, right?" The beautiful secretary known as 'Kokoro' patted Tom on the back and said helplessly.
After exchanging a few words, Victor nodded to Robin, who then took Perona, Wu Hongji and Matthew to chat with Bingshan and Franky.
"Tom, I and Victor came to see you this time because they have something to tell you." Haoxue shook his head: "Let's go to the brick wall warehouse to talk."
Seeing the serious expression on his sworn brother's face, Tom knew that he definitely had something important to tell him, so he led Victor and Haoxue into the warehouse behind the studio.
In the warehouse filled with all kinds of junk, Tom moved a few barrels to use as chairs. He sat down on the barrels, which made the barrels creak under the pressure, and asked in confusion: "Brother, what happened?"
?”
"...Tom, in 15 days, the justice ship appointed by the world government will come to try you, right?" Haoxue didn't sit down either, just leaned against the wall with his arms folded, and said in a deep voice: "Are you sure?
"
"Don't worry, the agreement with the judicial ship has been completed." Tom couldn't help laughing again: "Hahaha! By then, the credit and 'sin' should be offset."
Haoxue glanced at Victor, who nodded.
"Mr. Tom, I'm afraid things won't be that simple." Victor sat on the barrel and said calmly: "The world government is eyeing the blueprint of 'that thing' in your hand, and they will not let you go."
Tom was stunned for a moment, then looked at Goyuki. The latter shrugged his shoulders: "Don't look at me, it's his own intelligence channel. Victor is already a member of the King's Shichibukai, but the World Government has not announced it yet."
"Your Majesty, Lord Shichibukai, is so rude to come to this humble residence!" The smile on Tom's fat face faded a little: "It's just that I really don't know about the thing you mentioned. Why don't you go ask somewhere else?
ask?"
"Mr. Tom, I know this is a bit abrupt, and it is human nature that you find it difficult to trust me." Victor was not annoyed, but said gently: "But since I have become a Shichibukai, I can naturally gain access to some high-level insider information.
Information. Please believe me, they are really going to attack you! And this time the person coming is CP5, who is proficient in gathering intelligence and infiltrating. Now that they are here, their target must have been locked on you..."
"Hahahaha! Lord Shichibukai, the black-haired girl who has been sitting next to you just now must be Nico Robin, right?" Tom laughed: "Brother Haoyuki, don't you think this is funny?
?The newly appointed Shichibukai, with the only woman in the world who can resurrect that thing, came to me to ask for the blueprint of that thing! Tahahaha!!...!!...!!...!!"
"...Tom, I haven't revealed even a single word." Haoxue looked at Tom who was laughing and said in a deep voice: "I swear on Shana's name! I just want to save your life!"
"I'm living a good life now, Brother Haoxue." Tom stared with his small round eyes, and the white beard on his face was trembling: "The sea train has been opened to traffic, and the four lines have been completed. The agreement between me and the government has been reached! From now on
, I can build the ship safely, and then watch the apprentices start their apprenticeships one by one! Can't I even have such an ordinary life? "
"Tom, you..." Haoxue's lightning-shaped eyebrows knitted together, and his whole face was as gloomy as a dark cloud: "You idiot... why don't you listen to my advice!!"
"That's because the eldest brother always gives orders willfully!" Tom yelled: "It was the same with Shanna that time! It was the same with Om's time too! He always said, 'This is for your own good', but what happened in the end!? You
Just a complete loser!!”
"Bastard!" Haoxue grabbed Tom's collar and raised his fist. But looking at the chubby but stubborn face in front of him, Haoxue couldn't move his fist down.
"Both of you, please don't get too excited." Victor stood up, dusted off the dust, and then looked at Tom calmly: "That's it for now. No matter what we say now, I'm afraid you won't be able to hear it, Mr. Tom. But, if nothing unexpected happens,
, cp5 will definitely come to your door before the judicial ship arrives. At that time, please Mr. Tom, you must hide the blueprint of that thing and take care of the people around you. CP5... is not that easy to get rid of. Mr. Haoxue, let's go
Bar."
After saying that, Victor put the black bowler hat gently on his head, walked out of the warehouse, said hello to others, and led his companions to leave Tom's studio first.
"Tom... I also hope that I am wrong this time." Haoxue let go of Tom's collar, her eyes full of exhaustion and helplessness: "I hope everything is okay..."
After saying that, he also walked out of Tom's studio.
Bingshan and Franky, who were looking around, looked at each other at the door of the brick-walled warehouse. Just as they were about to say something, Cocoro grabbed one of his ears and carried him away.
There was silence in the brick-walled warehouse. The fat fishman, who never got angry in the past and always smiled, was sitting blankly on the barrel, his face full of disappointment.
