Chapter 33: The City of Seven Waters (I)
"Is this the Capital of the Seven Waters? It's spectacular! It looks several times bigger than the Maui Trade Island before. No, this magnificence is not at all comparable to that of Maui," the young man looked at the cone-shaped treasure island perched on the sea in the distance, and was so shocked that he couldn't even speak.
"Not only that, but also the level of prosperity, looking at the ships that come and go, it is not so much worse than Chambord. Demps Gale, the original bounty hunter of the sniper rifle, also blurted out.
The burly man Gustav also stood up, looked ahead and couldn't help but say: "Yes! The Capital of Seven Waters, I remember coming here once before, but I didn't expect that when I came again, it would already be a person." Gustav's eyes showed a look of vicissitudes, "However, the capital of the seven waters has changed a lot! Although it was spectacular in the past, it was definitely not so prosperous." I don't know what's going on either. ”
Only Victor, who was standing on the sidelines, remained silent, although his excited eyes had betrayed him. But he is used to being introverted, and he may only show another side in battle.
For the capital of the seven waters, Klockdahl has been fascinated for a long time, although Klockdahl also set out from the four seas, but he has not passed through the capital of the seven waters. The capital of the seven waters in front of him was indeed beyond Klockdahl's expectations, with the memory of a fierce crocodile, although he still had the shadows of those steel monsters in his mind, the actual picture in front of him was obviously more exciting for the eyeballs.
"Just put the main ship close to the harbor and leave a few dinghys on the surface of the sea!" commanded Klockdahl, "let me uncover your mystery, the capital of the seven waters!" ”
Gorgeous dividing line
Soon, the fleet began to sail into the harbor to recuperate, and Klockdal left the harbor area with the senior cadres of the Black Flag Army. This time, there were not many people brought by Klockdahl, except for a few senior cadres, and only a few middle-level cadres who ran errands. A group of 11 people, after leaving the port area, began to officially enter the urban area of the capital of seven waters. The waterways of the water capital are quite complex, and in addition to the transportation of water from the flat water, there are also waterways that extend down from the heights of the water capital.
Klockdahl also discovered that the local people would raise a kind of floating creature called "BULL" (BULL), which resembles a horse and is called "Yet~", as a means of transportation on the water. And it seems that "Blue" has a strong carrying capacity, and in addition to being used for water transportation, it can also be used to assist in moving. A small blue, with a double seat, can be rented for a thousand bells. Klockdahl rented two medium-sized "Blues" for 50 million Baileys. "Blue" is also known as Cowfish, at least in Klocodahl's opinion, the name is easier to remember. The group sat down in a medium-sized cow fish, and it didn't look crowded.
Because the City of the Seven Waters coincides with a specific day, a mask carnival is being held, during which residents wear masks to decorate themselves. So when Klockdahl and the others arrived in the Water Capital, they also put on masks for convenience. Although wearing a mask, his every move will still be monitored by someone who cares, but it also avoids some small minions looking for trouble.
Sitting on a cow fish, swimming along the waterway. Klockdahl was not in a hurry, and even had time to shop. The young man was very virtuous, and he also went to try the local specialty "water meat". The texture of the meat was indeed quite tender and delicious, and Klockdahl felt the same way after eating it. In the end, the young man came over with a pile of newspapers and distributed them to everyone. It seems that the imp had not forgotten Klockdahl's command to collect information on the ship. And these newspapers are the old newspapers that the young man Rude found the black market with a code, and then got the old newspapers and intelligence from the channels of the black market. At this time, Klockdahl felt more and more that it was correct to establish a channel of communication with those people in the black market in the first place. Otherwise, you won't be able to collect these things for a while.
Open the first newspaper, which was the one that had been published many months ago. The caption reads "Speeding Tom and the Water Seven", and the content is clearly about the Seven Water Cities. From this newspaper, Klockdahl also learned that the Tom had been successfully built a year ago, and the sea line had been opened, so it was no wonder that the capital of the seven waters had become so prosperous.
Next, Klockdahl discovers that the second article actually contains a message from Tom the Shipbuilder, "The World Government pardons Tom for his crimes". Seeing this, Klockdahl was overjoyed. Hurriedly flipped over, it turned out that the world government had an agreement with Tom, the fish-man shipbuilder, that as long as Tom built a sea train, he could be given a suspended sentence and let him continue to build other trains. This is indeed a pardon in disguise, and Klockdahl wonders if he should take advantage of this time to contact him. Maybe let him build a pirate ship, I guess it's impossible. But it's still possible for him to design a shipbuilding drawing of a pirate ship, and then Klockdahl is recruiting someone to build it? Moreover, this guy also has an apprentice, so it's a big deal to hand it over to his apprentice to build, which is not a loss.
However, the next news made Klockdahl sigh that there was no time to wait! Because in the third newspaper it was written that "Tom the Fishman was arrested for attacking a World Government warship." However, Klockdahl learns from the black market that Tom was implicated in being framed by Spadham (attacking government ships with Frankie's warships). In order to save Frankie, Tom the Fishman pleads guilty and is taken to the Hall of Anias to be executed.
Although, Klockdahl can use his rights to the Seven Martial Seas to seek a pardon for his crimes. After all, in Klockdahl's view, the crime of attacking the warship of the World Government is not too big and belongs to the category of solvable. But Klockdahl knew that this matter was definitely not as simple as he imagined, and those people on Justice Island were just doing what they were told. The real instigator is definitely the high-level figure of the world government. Therefore, even if Klockdahl did not hesitate to use the Draco relationship, it would still be the same in the end. Even worse, after all, as a sea thief, he wants to take a world-class shipwright who once built the ship of One Piece from the government. The purpose is obvious, the World Government will never agree to it, and this is contrary to Klockdahl's current hidden cultivation plan.
Hey, it seems that it is impossible to get the shipbuilding paper from Old Tom the Fishman first. But Tom the old fishman can't be touched, but he still has two disciples. If nothing else, Tom's studio should be on the Hulk Island. Over there, private contact shouldn't attract much attention.
If you think of it, you do it. Klockdahl ordered his men to leave, and to split up as they had been told on the ship. I went to the wasteland area alone. "Tom's studio, I hope you don't let me down!" thought to himself.
