Chapter 56: The Rocketeer

"Ever since Mr. Tom rescued me, he has been locking himself up in the factory and not knowing what he's doing...... But he told me to bring you to him if you came. Flamem said, leading Ziggy and Aaron to the factory.

It was already evening, but from the dilapidated doors and windows of the workshop, there was still a faint light, and bursts of blinding light, and it was clear that Tom was still busy.

"Mr. Tom, Mr. Tom, it's Ziggy and they're back." Flam smashed them with his intact arm.

Iceberg, with dark circles under his eyes, opened the door, looked at him with disgust, and then invited everyone to come in.

At this time, Tom was sitting in front of a shabby-looking locomotive, as if he was welding something, and Ziggy felt in a trance that Uncle Tom seemed to have lost a lot of weight.

"You're just in ......," Tom put down his work.

After turning around and taking off the protective mask, there was indeed a tired face underneath, but at this time, Tom sat cross-legged and leaned down and said, "It's really shameless, you have protected the water capital, but the old man has not protected the compatriots here......"

Seeing this, Ziggy hurriedly stepped forward to support Uncle Tom to prevent him from really falling down.

Ah Long also said: "It's okay with the old man! Tell me what's going on, if not, we're going to chase those bastards! ”

Without Tiger and Jinping watching, don't expect Aaron to be polite.

That's exactly what the old man was saying...... They had stayed in the Water City for twenty-seven days, which happened to be the time when the magnetic field of the Water City was recorded, so I suspect that their next stop will be Rance Island, which is also the island connected to the railroad track that has been laid now. Tom said solemnly.

Although there are record pointers for sale on the black market, it took more than 20 days for the giant axe people to accurately catch more than 20 mermaids in the water capital, so they didn't go to the black market.

Aaron also realized something, and looked at the locomotive behind Tom.

The sea train is said to have paved only the first section of tracks, and then plans to pave three more sections, one of which will lead to the island of Justice......

Supposedly, there are no sea trains that are successfully operating at the moment!

"Could it be this ......," Ziggy also looked behind Tom's back.

Flam seemed to realize something, and was a little surprised: "Teacher, this car is not ......"

"That's right, this is the Rocketeman, the first sea train I built that could run on sea tracks, but it had a fatal flaw...... Can't brake! Tom looked serious.

It's not that the brakes aren't installed, or that the brakes are wrong, but that Tom hasn't come up with a way to stop a train running on the sea tracks.

Now it's just working overtime, as soon as possible, this failed product, "saving" to the extent that it can run!

"It's too nonsense! Teacher, the speed of the Rocketeer, if there is no brake......" Flamem was worried about trying to stop.

Ah Long rushed to say: "It's okay! Brakes or something, there's no need at all! Let's sit here! ”

"Aaron, now it's up to me." Ziggy reminded him to pay attention to his attitude towards "Phineas".

Aaron looked at Zig with bloodshot eyes......

"Uncle Tom, then please...... And the Rocketeer! Ziggy grinned and politely expressed the same meaning as Aaron.

Marcolo moved the corners of his grinning mouth, but he hesitated, his eyes moved slightly, and he didn't say anything against it.

"Are you crazy? Any idea how fast this thing runs? It's not the speed of a boat, it's not like a boat, it's a big deal to sink, and you can keep swimming! Flam also tried to convince Zigger.

"If it's fast enough...... That's great! Ziggy said reassuringly.

"Well, it must be fast enough, their ship, to get from the water capital to the island of Leinster, it will take half a month, if you do the sea train, you will be able to arrive at dawn tomorrow!" Tom is still very confident in the speed of this sea train without brakes.

Sithun They left the Water Capital half a month ago, that is to say...... If you ride the Rocketeer, it's just a little slower!

Even if the bastard of the giant axe doesn't go well, it's not impossible for Zig and the others to get one step first.

"Can't you understand human language?" When Flamem saw Ziggy say this, he couldn't help but be annoyed.

This is a bit insulting - the fish-people hate it the most, and others say that they are "not human", because once human beings regarded the fish-people as fish and animals.

However, when Aaron glared at him, he found him unbandaged......

"Teacher! Then I'll be the driver! You've been staying up all nights to drive this guy without brakes...... It's impossible to be reassuring! Flam said as he unbandaged.

"It's the same for you, you can't even hold a wrench now, can you? I'll do it anyway. The iceberg, who had been watching calmly, said calmly at this time.

"You two little ghosts, is it your turn to be in the limelight? Maybe this car will overturn at some point, so let's solve it by ourselves! Aunt Cocoro said, "banging" and popping the wine stopper.

"Don't drink and drive, don't drink while driving! Please! For the sake of not having brakes! Ziggy couldn't help but complain, and stopped the bottle in Cocoro's hand.

"Hahaha, what a stupid thing! Even if you don't drink, you don't have brakes! Cocola dragged the bottle over.

Ziggy: ......

"No, Aunt Cocoro!"

"This is the only thing ......"

"You can't do it for you!"

Flam and Iceberg said one by one.

"Huh?" Ke Keluo looked at it suspiciously, obviously he had already made the pros and cons very clear, right?

"Fish-Man friends saved the Water City before, although we can't protect the Fish-People in the Water City......"

"But at least let us do our part!"

Kokoro wanted to say, "Don't make these useless things", but after thinking about the "future" that Princess Otohime hoped for, mutual understanding between humans and fish-people was the first step to reconciliation and unity, since the young people had this idea......

Ziggy also saw Cocoro's idea and did not object again.

"Okay, then I'll give you a drink." Cocolo said to find a cup.

"Forget it!" Ziggy hurriedly stopped.

Later, everyone joined forces, including Yokozuna the Mighty Frog, to lift the "Rocketeman" onto the railroad tracks that passed through Scrap Island......

Ziggy and the others sat on the top of the front of the car, and in a small "bucket" in the back, Flam and the iceberg pushed the joystick together.

"Rocketeer! It's time to go! ”

"Sea train, test run...... Begin! ”

With a roar, a heavy "wave" floated away from the scrap island.

The night guard in the direction of the port of the water capital couldn't help but look in the direction of the scrap ship island......

"Did you hear anything? It won't be an experimental ......"

"Didn't hear anything."

"Huh? Oh...... Me too! ”

The two guards turned their heads in tacit understanding—it was another peaceful night, the opposite of the night of the Poseidon pilgrimage.
