Chapter 39: The City of Water

"Haha! See the City of Water! Wow, the oversized fountain! Hachi held the binoculars and shouted excitedly.

I can already see the water city from afar, and after seeing it with my own eyes, it is even more shocking.

The main body of the city is in the shape of a round castle, and the upper part is a city-level "fountain" - if it weren't for the special movement of the ocean currents here, only relying on water pumps, I am afraid that it would not be enough to put Anilu in it to supply electricity, and pheasants to lock up in it and pedal bicycles......

The main body of the island is like a pillbox, and on the base of the fortress, there are seven huge waterways from which ships can sail inside, and can also dock at the port next to the seven open waterways.

In addition to the central area, there are also some houses exposed to the sea around, waterways and small bridges, which are also excellent as tourist attractions - unfortunately, the great waterway cannot develop tourism!

At this time, the Sun Pirates have also lowered the pirate flag.

The water capital itself does not care about the profession of the customer, and the pirates only need to be "honest", so naturally there is no need to provoke.

"Boss Tiger, shall we enter through the seventh waterway?" Ziggy took the helm and confirmed with Tiger.

Could it be the seventh waterway, which leads to the Black Shipyard, and as long as you pay the money, you won't report it to the Navy anyway.

"No, get around to the other side, let's go to Shipwreck Island." Tiger corrected.

Ziggy was stunned for a moment, and then turned the rudder as he said.

Ziggy is still more familiar with the setting of the water city more than ten years later, and at this time, he bypassed to the other side, only to find that there is also a "garbage island" that affects the city's appearance on this side of the water capital, which seems out of place compared with the round castle-shaped city center and the clean and bright water city.

And now it is full of all kinds of material garbage, which looks very desolate and dilapidated......

Seeing the snapper going in the direction of Scrap Island, the staff on duty at the diversion place specially reminded with disgust: "If it's just for visiting, it's best not to go there...... Kindness? Fish-people? Forget it, when I didn't say it. ”

Shipwreck Island used to be home to Tom's Studio, the largest shipyard in the Water City, but now he is ostracized in the Water City due to the revelation of Tom's crime of building for Roger.

After all, peers are enemies......

Originally, the world government wanted to execute Tom - Roger was still young, and when he turned himself in, he got the crew's amnesty, but he didn't expect that the world government did everything it could to exploit the loopholes......

Tom didn't get on board and wasn't considered a crew member, so he wasn't pardoned!

However, although Tom is not afraid of his own death, he has more important business to do, and has stated to the world government that he wants to build a water train for the water capital, in exchange for a temporary postponement of the execution.

As long as the deadline is met, Tom can be exempted from the death penalty.

After the Snapper stopped at the improvised trestle on Shipwreck Island, a young man with a blue thorn and red panties came over and said warily, "Who are you?" Tourists are not welcome here, let alone pirates......"

As for why know the panties?

Well, I only wore underwear on my lower body.

"Little Flam! Don't drive away the guests who have managed to show up...... Yes! Snapper? This is a real rarity. A charming-looking aunt with heavy makeup came over and recognized the snapper at a glance.

"Cocoro, long time no see." Tiger leaned on the boat at this time and greeted his aunt.

"Fish-people?" Flam breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time furrowed his eyebrows, but did not say anything after all.

Since Uncle Tom was captured once, he has not only been ostracized by his colleagues in the Water City, but also entered the countdown to execution, and even worse, some pirates will come here to "visit" after learning about it.

And......

Most of the pirates have no sense of awe, if there are really Roger Pirates here, they must be scared, but in the face of Roger's shipbuilders, they have no awe, and they often cause some sabotage, and the guards of the water capital also turn a blind eye to the affairs of Shipwreck Island.

Flam is already short-tempered, and because of his background, he also has a lot of opinions about "pirates", and often clashes with pirates.

Finding out that the other party was a fishman, Flam breathed a sigh of relief, understanding that the person who came was a friend of Uncle Tom, but at the same time he was a little nervous - what if Uncle Tom was troubled by the world government for building ships and repairing ships for pirates?

Although most of the shipyards in the entire water capital have done pirate business, Uncle Tom is targeted!

Especially when he saw that the fish people on the boat were jumping straight from the boat, without pedals, and all of them behaved in a "pirate style", Flam was even more worried.

Ziggy had now laid down the anchor, and was about to tie the stake, when Cocoro slapped Flam on the back, and judging by the sound, the shot was not light.

Flam also reacted at this time, collected his mood, and shouted to Ziggy on the ship: "Wait! Can't stop here. ”

As he spoke, Flamem told Ziggy to throw off the rope ladder, and he led the way......

After Flam climbed into the boat, he said to Zigger: "You have come at the wrong time, in the last month, there may be a 'Poseidon Parade' at any time, and then everything except the shelter at the top of the city will be flooded, now the ship should stop at the dock over there!" In this way, even if it is affected, there will be no major damage. ”

"Boss Tiger, Boss Jinping, then I'm going to stop the boat." Ziggy and Tiger greeted Jinping.

"Poseidon Parade?" Ziggy couldn't remember the name a little.

"It's a city of water, where there is an annual tsunami that floods almost the entire island, so it's built like this, and the interior of the city center and the high places can escape the pilgrimage." Flam said as he looked in the direction of the main body of the Water City.

"The City of Water...... Isn't it famous for being a shipwright? Can't those shipyards be relocated? Ziggy asked, a little confused.

In fact, in the original work, Ziggy was a little confused.

Although it is difficult to communicate between the islands in the Great Passage, there are still pirates and caravans that come and go!

Shipbuilding, as the first manifestation of the Age of Discovery, is undoubtedly the most popular, and even shipwrights can't leave?

"Ha, they're all guys who don't cry when they don't see the coffin...... Although the Poseidon Pilgrimage is terrifying, the special sea currents here provide the power system of the entire city, and the upwelling tide power also drives the operation of the manufacturing lines of various shipbuilding companies, how can they give up here?

But I'm afraid it won't last long, I remember when I came here when I was ten years old, there were seven boat entrances, much higher than now, and there were still a lot of land in the outer city that were not waterways, but now even the center of the city, most of the outer walls were soaked in the sea! Flam's tone was a little sarcastic.

In a dozen years, the island will also be completely submerged.

Flam's favorite water city is the water capital with Uncle Tom, a certain annoying iceberg brother, and other companions, because he is not friendly to the outside world because of the suppression of other shipping companies.

"You're not a local?" Ziggy asked knowingly.

"Well, my bastard parents are pirates from the South China Sea, so they probably died somewhere." Flam said with a grin.

Usually, he has to hide his background from other outsiders, but since Ziggy is also a pirate, he naturally doesn't need to worry.

The South China Sea, among the four seas, is famous for science and technology, machinery, and the most developed science and technology and manufacturing industry in the four seas.

Franm, who later changed his name and surname, came from the South China Seas; In the supernova more than ten years later, Kidd, who is good at condensing robotic arms with magnetic fruits, is also from the South China Sea; Later, the commander of the Southern Army in the revolutionary army was also a fur tribe who was good at guns and weapons.

Ziggy and Flam chatted as they came to a mooring away from Shipwreck Island......
