Chapter 118: Deciding to build a ship

"Old man!"

A familiar voice suddenly sounded from the other end. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Horned Fishman put down the hammer in his hand and looked back, only to see Frankie waving his arms and running in front of him shouting, while Bagu was respectfully pacing with Ye Qiong and falling behind.

"Really, I got out of there and made a fuss!"

The Horned Fishman scolded Frankie, but his tone was not the slightest harsh, but he reached out dotingly to knead the blown, waxed blue hair.

Immediately, as if he remembered something, his gentle and friendly gaze fell on Ye Qiong, and he said happily, "Yohe, there are guests here?"

"Hello, Master Tom. Ye Qiong greeted him kindly and said bluntly, "My name is Ye Qiong, and I'm glad to see you." ”

His eyes looked at the old horned fishman in front of him, the fishman was simply draped in an open-chested dress, his arms and waistlines were bloated and strong, the top of his head had the horns of the horned fishman's unique bamboo shoots, his hands were carved with dark red tattoos, and his kind face inevitably carried the traces of time, and his eyes were very eye-catching.

When Ye Qiong was looking at Tom, Tom was also looking at Ye Qiong in the opposite direction.

The name "Ye Qiong" ...... It's a bit special, and it's not entirely strange to him, the fish-man who is buried in the hulk island and dedicated to building railroad tracks.

"Ye Qiong, are you Ye Qiong?" Frankie looked at Ye Qiong in surprise, looked at it carefully, and after confirming that it was correct, he muttered, "Sure enough, it's a real person......

"Frankie, do you know a benefactor?" Bagu wondered.

"Why don't I know, you forgot? In the newspapers a few weeks ago, the 'demon' Ye Qiong!" Frankie danced.

As soon as these words came out, Tom and Bagu both changed their faces.

The demon Ye Qiong, with a billion bounty, has been making trouble in the limelight of this era since he was released from prison, who doesn't know?

I didn't recognize it before, just because the young man dressed as a gentleman in front of him didn't match the rumored heinous criminal identity at all, and now I was reminded by Franky, and then I remembered the appearance of the head on the news and the bounty list, isn't it exactly the same as the young man in front of me.

"Are you really the demon Ye Qiong?" asked Bagu in disbelief.

"Huh?" Ye Qiong touched his nose, not knowing how to answer for a while, he could only chuckle, "If you are talking about the prisoner who escaped from prison in luck, it is indeed me." ”

"Oh my God, it's really ......"

Bagu was shocked, and the characters who only appeared in the news newspapers a few weeks ago actually appeared alive in front of him.

"What kind of prison, that's the city's No. 1 prison, how did you escape......" Frankie asked excitedly.

"That's enough!" Tom snapped up, interrupting Frankie's question, looking at Bagu and asking, "You just called Benefactor?" ”

"This ......"

Frankie was anxious and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Tom.

Bagu didn't dare to hide it, and honestly explained the ins and outs of Fang Cai who was almost injured by a cannonball and was saved by Ye Qiong.

"You guy!" Tom slapped Frankie in the hair angrily, "what if Bagu was hit by your cannonball, what would you do, and you won't dare admit it now?"

"Isn't it okay now?" said Frankie, gritting his teeth and clenching his fists hard.

"Still talking back, isn't it? Tom kicked him, but Frankie ignored him and ran away.

"Quack!" Henggang screamed crisply, and his legs jumped to catch up.

"This child, who was abandoned here by his parents because of rebellion since he was a child, has always been like this, which makes you laugh. Tom looked at Ye Qiong apologetically, lowered his body, bowed, and said, "Also, thank you for saving Bagu." ”

"Don't worry, Frankie was actually guilty just now, and he already knew his mistake. Ye Qiong hurriedly helped Tom up, and after Tom got up, he was also pondering Ye Qiong's intention, a character like him must not be as simple as passing by here occasionally.

Ye Qiong didn't hide it, and said directly, "Master Tom, I came here this time to ask you to build a ship for me. ”

"This ......," Tom grimaced.

Bagu explained, "Benefactor, master, he has not taken orders for ships for several years. ”

"Huh?" Ye Qiong thought for a moment and said calmly, "It's because of Roger's business." ”

Tom's color changed slightly, and he said to Bagu beside him, "You can go and see how Frankie is." ”

Bagu nodded obediently, glanced at Ye Qiong and walked away.

After breaking Bagu, Tom nodded and said, "Yes, since the World Government knew that Roger's ship was built by me, someone arrested me for trial, and now I can stay here just because I proposed the engineering concept of the sea train to the judge, and if the Seven of the Water Can't survive the changes of this era, it will really be over." ”

"Do you regret being implicated by Roger?" Ye Qiong asked him.

"No regrets. Tom said without hesitation, "No matter what kind of ship is built, there is no good or evil, and I feel very honored to be able to contribute to a man like Roger!"

"Then why can't you build a ship for me?" Ye Qiong wondered.

"......," Tom was silent for a moment, and said, "I must not stop the construction of the sea train, and the sooner it is completed, the sooner the fate of the Seven Cities of Water will change." ”

"But once the sea train is finished, won't you have to be judged by a judge? ”

"Then let him be. ”

The old fishman said lightly, his face full of unimaginable perseverance and unhesitation.

This glowing, moving quality is like that of Dr. Shamrock, who handed over the seeds of the Tree of All-Knowing to Ye Dome many years ago.

"I see. Ye Qiong bowed his head, and just when Tom thought he had given up, he chuckled, "In a few days, I will ask my subordinates to come over to help you carry out the project of the sea train, they are all fish-man sailors, and they have no problem to endure hardships and stand hard work as coolies, and they will not delay the construction time of the sea train."

In addition, I would like you to be the designer and builder of my new ship, and the wood used is mainly the treasure tree "Adam". ”

"You ......," Tom remarked, not knowing for a moment what reason to refuse.

Seeing that Tom was still hesitant, Ye Qiong took out a pearl from his pocket, which was the size of a bowl and carved with a gorgeous dragon shape, and said, "You can recognize this." ”

"This is ......" Tom looked at the pearl with a nostalgic look, and said, "How can you forget, this is the token of the mermaid clan - the Dragon Ball, I didn't expect you to be able to gain the trust of the Dragon Palace." ”

"Oh?

Ye Qiong was stunned, he didn't expect that this thing given by the princess would be really useful to the fishmen.

"Well, since you're a merfolk and you've saved Bagu's life, I can't shirk it anymore - I'll try again and build the last ship. Tom sighed.

Perhaps he didn't think that the Golden Jackson, built for Roger, ushered in an era of pirates.

And this last ship built for Ye Qiong will usher in a more spectacular new era
