Aine was about to ask who he was waiting for when a voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"I'm sorry, I was too obsessed with research last night, and it was a little late in the morning."

Late? Fang Xing didn't think so, judging from the feeling that the sky was dark outside, it was only around six o'clock in the morning, no matter how early it was! At a glance, you can see that these people are more excited than the other, otherwise normal people would have to visit others after seven or eight o'clock.

Fang Xing felt that instead of everyone crowded in this small room and not being at peace, it was better to set off directly, perhaps saying that there would be leisure time on the boat, so he proposed: "Everyone is here, then let's go." ”

Time passed on the ship, and Fang Xing did not find peace as he imagined, on the contrary, because there was no one else to interfere, he was entangled by Aine to ask this and that, and he was even more sleepy.

"It's finally here." Fang Xing sighed and said.

At this moment, everyone finally arrived at Newport Island after a long journey.

Even with a special chart to sail with the current, it took nearly a week to travel.

That's the inconvenience of navigation.

At least Fang Xing didn't feel anything interesting, or the feeling of landing his feet on the ground was more realistic.

"I'm telling you, you're wrong. Of course, a ship has to rely on itself to be called a ship, and if it relies on external objects, it is no longer a ship. Theodore argued.

Tom laughed at what he said, "Aren't the sails, the poles, the oars, the timbers, all the same foreign things?" The combination of these things is a complete ship, as long as it can make the ship better, what can't it? ”

Although Tom does have some truth in what he said, after traditional shipbuilding training, Theodore's understanding of shipbuilding is also more traditional, and Tom's statement is more like sophistry in his opinion.

"Sails, poles, and other things are originally the utensils that make up the ship, so how can they be considered foreign objects? Instead, you want to bless items on a complete hull, which is tantamount to destroying the overall structure of the ship. ”

The question of the ship between the two men began almost as soon as they first arrived on the ship, and it has not ended until now, and although Theodore admits that he is not enough Tom in many respects, he will not budge in the slightest when it comes to maintaining the hull structure.

Tom, on the other hand, pursued openness, built only from his heart, and did not give in, so there was a dispute over this point of view.

Personally, Fang Xing agrees with Tom, the ship itself was built to serve people, what is the use of abandoning the basics, not thinking about innovation, blindly pursuing the primitive, but the matter at hand is not to argue about who is right and who is wrong, but to investigate the state of the island.

Because Theodore was talking about his friend's affairs, Fang Xing decided to start investigating on Newport Island first.

"Theodore, where are your friends?"

"It's not far from the island, because it's more convenient to put the built boat into the sea anytime and anywhere."

After walking a few miles along the coast, you will find a large dock.

Theodore pointed to it, "This is where my friend lives. ”

Fang Xing couldn't help but tease.

"It's the same boatman, how can he be treated so badly."

Not only Theodore's friends, Tom also owned a shipbuilding company in the Water City before helping One Piece Roger build a pirate ship, while Theodore was reduced to an ordinary house repairer.

"I call this dedication, how can a true shipwright be deceived by foreign objects." Theodore said, but his face was a little unnatural, and this sentence was probably just a forcible reason.

Walking into the dock, the shipwright is busy building a ship.

I don't know what kind of ship is being built, but judging from the hull, it is an extremely large ship. Judging from the molds made, such a huge dock is only building a base for it, and the shape of the hull does not appear on the base, which shows that this is not even a complete base.

Fang Xing's arrival also attracted the attention of the others, and after a while, a sloppy man with thick limbs and unkempt limbs walked out.

"Theodore, how do you have time for me, you idiot?"

"Brad, do you think I'm happy to come to you?"

"Well, if you're not happy, you're not here, duplicity. Isn't it a covetousness for me to have a chance to touch the strongest tree in this legend? I tell you that you made the wrong decision to become a shipwright in the Navy, and you see what you have become now, you can't change jobs again, you can only die alone. ”

In this world, from the moment you become a shipwright in the navy, you are not allowed to change jobs. Because the navy does not allow a shipwright to flow out anyway, this may involve some secrets of the warship, and this time Theodore was able to come out because of Fang Xing. Otherwise, although it will not interfere with the freedom of the island, it will be closely scrutinized when going out and sending messages.

Theodore was speechless when he heard Brad say this. Originally, he became a naval shipwright, but he also boasted to his friends for a while, because a naval shipwright almost means having access to the best materials, the best equipment, and the best technology.

But everything, but in Vegapunk added the sea tower stone to the ship, because there was no attack of the Sea King, the navy was not as hot as before to improve the warship, cut the shipwright, reduce the budget, and the naval shipwright suddenly became a position that few people yearn for.

Although this is indeed the case, Theodore can't stop his face, so he has to say far-fetched: "I'm willing, can you manage it?" ”

Brad smiled abruptly, and carefully took out a small piece of wood from behind him, not because he was worried that the wood would be damaged, but simply for the precious object. It's like knowing that a golden bowl is resistant to falling, but no one is playing with it. Then, as if showing off, he said to Theodore: "This is the strongest tree, Adam the treasure tree." How about it, envy no, I can give you a sniff, of course don't touch it with your dirty hands. ”

At that moment, a hand came out of the side and took the piece of wood.

"This is Adam... Hawkers! ”

Brad wanted to be angry, but when he saw the man who took the wood, his anger was suppressed.

"You are. Tom? Tom of the world's number one boatwright? ”

Although Tom is still a stranger to many people, Tom is a proper star in the shipwright world.

Tom admits calmly, "That's right, I'm Tom." ”

After Tom admitted, Brad was even more excited, symbolically ignoring Theodore on the side, turning to Tom respectfully and saying, "I have long admired the Daimyo, I have many questions for you." ”

The difference in attitudes gave Theodore the urge to beat people.

Before Tom could reply, a voice interjected.

"What kind of ship are you going to build?"

Brad turned around and saw that it was a child, and wanted to answer casually to send him away, but when he saw those eyes and the aura revealed from Fang Xing's body, he couldn't help but feel a palpitation. In his business, shipbuilding is either for merchants or for pirates. When building a ship for merchants, be careful not to be usurped by them; When building a ship for pirates, you need to consider your own net worth. Over time, I have the ability to see people.

Although he felt palpitations for some reason, he still responded to the fear in his heart and answered truthfully.

"I don't know what kind of ship to build, only that it is a huge ship, a huge ship that has never been built before."

"Oh? How big is it? ”

"It's the size of a small city that can be built on it."

“... How did you find out? ”

"Although the few design drawings given to me are all east and west, but after so many years of shipbuilding, I still have some eyesight, and I can naturally see it."

When Brad answered the size of the city and contacted the rich man that Theodore had mentioned earlier, Fang Xing had an answer, but still asked, "How did the other party pay the fee?"

"Gold Payment."

Sure enough, Fang Xing secretly said.

If you guess correctly, this person is the "Golden Emperor" Gilder. Tezzolo.
