Chapter 132: Mr. Tom
"Aha, ahahaha, the hands and feet are still there, intact and survived, poofhahahahahaha, it's really earned!"
I don't know if it was bold or heartless, he broke the steel with his bare hands and crawled out of the twisted iron wreckage of the sea train, and the strong man of the fish-man clan named Tom only suffered a trivial abrasion under such an exaggerated impact.
The strong vitality of the fish-people race and the ten-fold strength of the innate human race are all God-given races that stand at the top of the food chain.
"Mr. Tom, there is still no way to solve the brake problem, it is still normal when you set off, what is ......?"
"Mr. Tom! Sure enough, you should listen to me, install my Frankie-sama's super~ cannon on the [Rocketeman], and even if it's a sea king, I'll show you! …… It hurts! Why hit me again, stupid Bagu! ”
"Bastard thing, what does a sea train that drives trade between islands look like with a cannon on its head?!"
"Damn, stupid Bagu, I can't stand your atrocities anymore, come to your senses!"
"Do you want to fight, stupid strange!"
Based on the inexplicable confidence in Mr. Tom's rough skin during the Sea Train test, the two disciples did not have any weakness and useless dialogue about this accustomed failure and injury. Instead, he immediately threw himself into the summary of failures and new proposals, of course, the two brothers who had a "very good relationship", as always, started fighting after three sentences of discord. And Mr. Tom, who was their mentor, never stopped these two fools, but watched this scene with laughter, and did not take to heart the sea train that had taken a month of hard work to make and was now a scrap metal. This is not to say that he is stupid, but since the construction of the sea train, there have been more than one or two losses of this magnitude, some of them broke off the railroad tracks and rushed into the deep sea, some were smashed by sea beasts, and some blew themselves up...... It is already a rare luxury to be able to leave a corpse like this.
"Hahahaha, Esbagu, you're calling him stupid again, hahahahaha...... So ......"
Mr. Tom stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears that came out of the tears of laughter, and he was strong or fat, and he looked quite cute and round, and his kind appearance was also very kind. He looked directly at the calm Wren with his weather-beaten eyes, and he couldn't see that this small human had just stopped the speeding sea train with his bare hands, and frightened a sea beast of the king of the near sea into not daring to move, and finally fled in the wilderness.
"It's really unbelievably domineering."
Speaking words that the two disciples did not understand, Mr. Tom said to Wren with emotion. In Tom's life, he has only seen two people with the same [domineering] as the young man in front of him. Mr. Tom himself has the natural strength of the Fish-People, but he does not like to fight, as he has loved in his life, he is a professional boatman, although he does not have the ability to dominate, but the eyesight and experience have not aged with time.
"Thank you for your help, hahahaha, my old bones are becoming more and more unbearable now."
Mr. Tom didn't linger long on the nostalgic word, and was about to go straight to Wren's point of inquiry when he was caught by the arrival of the character.
"Gou ...... Woohoo! Cluck! ”
"Mr. Tom~ I'm here for lunch...... Huh? Are there any guests? It's a real surprise. ”
The tall, blonde woman often had a gentle smile on her face, and she carried a vegetable basket with clean cutlery, followed by a large frog with a large rice pot on top of her head.
"Wow! It's already this time, how about it, let's have dinner together! The more people there are, the more delicious the meal will be! ”
Mr. Tom showed great enthusiasm and invited Wren to lunch at the shipyard.
At the beginning, Wren refused, you can't say let me stay here to eat, I'll obediently stay and eat.
But when the lid of the pot was opened, the smell of the curry made him change his mind. Wren himself did not have any housekeeping skills, and if he was given a chicken, he would stop at the point of removing his head, plucking his hair, and roasting it on the fire to eat. The only person on board who could cook was the poor child laborer who had just turned 10 years old, and his craft was ...... Do you expect a 10-year-old child to make anything that can be eaten?
The combination of a young girl who is new to cooking and a crew member who is not picky about eating at all has been bringing the chef to tears for more than a year. Smelling the aroma of the curry, Wren's stomach inevitably rang. It wasn't that he was dissatisfied with the little girl's cooking, he had eaten anything worse than that, but humans were creatures who were constantly seeking to make themselves more comfortable, so ...... Well...... A mushy antimatter unidentified object or a fragrant curry, which would you choose?
Therefore, he took the curry rice handed by Cocoro without any twist.
For Wren, it is hard to imagine that such a plate of food contains quite a lot of spices. For example, cloves, cinnamon, fennel, cumin seeds, cardamom, coriander seeds, mustard seeds, carrobar, black pepper, chili pepper, turmeric powder for coloring, and so on. Each of these spices has its own unique aroma and taste, some spicy and some aromatic, mixed together, whether it is paired with meat, seafood or vegetables, and it is combined to bloom into a variety of layers and textures that seem to clash and harmonize with each other, which is only one thing that can be found in Rennes's simple and poor vocabulary.
“…… Delicious. ”
"Ahra, yes, that's really fun~"
The compliments of her family may be the smile that Granny Koro has become accustomed to, but the compliments from strangers will not be used to them anyway. She had only enough utensils for the five people on a regular basis, so she gave her share to Wren, but that heartfelt compliment made Granny Cocoro happier than the satisfaction of having a full meal.
"Hahaha, yes! Sure enough, Cocoro's craftsmanship is the best! ”
"Yes, yes, would you like another bowl, Mr. Tom?"
Even if you have eaten the dishes made by Cocoro for many years, only Mr. Tom is not stingy with praise at any time. As for the two children, Frankie and Espargu, the children seem to be so accustomed to the food made by their parents, and they think that it is just the ordinary taste.
The Fish-Folk Race, who are inherently stronger than ordinary humans, are aliens and monsters in this human-dominated world. To be precise, human beings have never looked at creatures other than themselves as equals. Two hundred years ago, it was a crazy world, and the entire human world was persecuting this minority race, and the mermaid girl among them was captured by various forces because of her beautiful appearance.
Beginning two hundred years ago, the Dragon Palace Kingdom of Fish-Man Island established diplomatic relations with the world government, and the whole world stopped persecuting the Fish-People and the Mermaids, and the king of the Dragon Palace Kingdom was allowed to attend the World Government meeting. But just two hundred years of history does not change the arrogance and arrogance of human beings who come out of nowhere. Apparent peace means more frantic persecution behind the scenes, and even because they are not allowed to persecute the Fish-Men and Mermaids, this rare race is even more sought-after, and the wealthy families are even more proud of owning a mermaid.
If there is no great sacrifice and redemption in the hatred and contradictions between the two sides, I am afraid that only one side will perish.
Among them, Mr. Tom, the horned fishman of the Fish-People, is a remarkable man.
He lives as a fish-man in this world-famous shipbuilding city, the Seven Capitals of Water. Resisted how much discrimination and violence, with their own efforts and technology stood squarely under the sun, its shipbuilding technology deserves to be the first in the world!
If it weren't for the joint and several responsibilities of One Piece Roger, he should have enjoyed the courtesy of the world's number one shipbuilder, how could he be driven to live in this shipyard by those fools in the city?
Mr. Tom was a remarkable man, and his heroic laughter devalued the hatred between humans and fish-people. Even if they are kicked out by the city, but so what? Where can't you build a ship! It is a great honor for Mr. Tom to be able to contribute to a man like Roger!
The fish-people who live in the human world are Mr. Tom. When she was young, Granny Cocoro came to the Seven Cities of Water because she admired Mr. Tom like this, and even finally settled down here with the help of Mr. Tom, and married and had children with the beloved human.
The identity of the fish-people in the human world is very embarrassing, and the appearance that is different from humans is not acceptable to ordinary people, but fortunately, Wren can accept it. In the new world, the fish-people are not as rare and persecuted as the four seas and the first half of the Great Voyage, and in that new world, there are heroes and heroes who can accommodate the spirit of the alien race!
In Wren's eyes, the Fish-Men are just some strange and interesting guys, but on the contrary, the Mermaid Race of the Lower Body Fish and the Upper Body of the Fish-Humans, the romance that humans have dreamed of since ancient times, is the biggest nightmare in the world for Wren!
Mr. Wren's most hated thing is fish!
