Chapter 85: That Day
Bright stayed in the Water City for the time being.
Master Tom insisted on waiting for the sea train to be officially put into operation before leaving, and Bright could not force him.
This is the persistence of being a good shipwright.
Bright couldn't force him, so he had to stay and wait.
Master Tom is very busy, although the sea train has been completed and the track laying has been completed, he still tirelessly inspects the sea train every day to check the tracks.
As a good shipwright, he would never allow any flaws in his work, as he himself said, to let the ship of which he was proud go to sea.
It was impossible for Brett to follow Master Tom the whole time, he didn't reveal his intentions, he rented a hotel in the Water City these days, and like all tourists who come to the Water City, he drove the Blue boat around the streets of the Water City every day.
But after the initial novelty wore off, he felt that the city was just that.
A city of water?
Is it possible to compare with Fish-Man Island?
Still, there is something that attracts him to the water capital, and that is the ancient structures that have sunk beneath the sea around the islands.
The buildings that have sunk into the sea due to factors such as rising sea levels and subsidence of islands exist quietly under the surface of the sea, and although they are very badly corroded, you can still see the past style.
As Bright weaves through these buildings, he wonders, is this the place where the shipwrights created the Hades eight hundred years ago?
What was it made for, what kind of power did it have, and why was it that only the blueprints in Master Tom's hands were left with such superb technology?
History is always full of mysteries.
At noon on the fourth day of his arrival in the Water City, when Bright was eating in the dining room, Master Tom also came, and he sat at the table behind Bright.
"What happened?"
Bright lowered his voice as he ate.
It was their agreement, and Bright would eat at the regular restaurant every day, and if something happened to Tom, he would come here to find him.
"Government agents came looking for me last night."
Master Tom whispered as he ordered.
Bright frowned.
"I never thought they were eyeing that thing."
Master Tom sighed, "In that case, I won't be able to leave, Brother Bright, please take my two disciples and Ke Ke Luo Henggang away later." β
Now that the government knows that he has the blueprints of the Hades, there is no place for him in the whole world.
"I told you, don't worry, Mr. Tom, I'll leave safely with all of you."
Bright said calmly.
"Bright, you have no idea how important that thing is to the governmentβ"
Bright interrupted him, "Something to do with Hades, right?" β
Master Tom was stunned for a moment.
"Eight hundred years ago, the shipwrights of the City of Water built one of the strongest warships, called Pluto, known as Hades."
Bright said calmly, "The only thing that can make the government remember this island is probably something related to it." β
"......," Tom was silent for a moment, "that's true. β
"Just do what you want, Master Tom, and it won't be a problem."
Bright said calmly.
"Okay, I see, it's all up to you, Bright!"
Tom chuckled under his breath, "Let me, as the boatwright of the Water City, be the last one more resounding!" β
Bright smiled softly.
Let me think about it, how did that Spandam guy frame Mr. Tom?
Today is the day of the official operation of the sea train, and it is also the day of the judgment of Tom, the fish-man who once committed a great sin.
Justice Island sent a judicial ship to bring the justices who gave Tom the final trial.
The promise made 14 years ago is finally fulfilled today.
Under the watchful eyes of the people of the City of Water, the Chief Justice, accompanied by Master Tom, boarded the sea train, and then, with the sound of the whistle, accompanied by a booming sound, the sea train set sail.
It carried the justices on the paved roads until they had run all the roads before returning to the island of justice.
When he was escorted off the sea train by the navy, the gray-haired justice's face was full of smiles, "That's amazing, Tom the fishman!" You've really turned what we once thought was a fantasy into reality! β
"Hahaha, this is my proudest ship!"
Master Tom doesn't know what modesty is.
He is proud of his children.
"Then let's invite Tom the Fishman and the people who want to watch the trial to board the Justice Ship!"
A temporary court has been set up on the judicial ship to conduct the trial, and then the final trial will be.
Master Tom took two disciples with excited faces and calmly boarded the judicial ship.
Many people followed with the same joy, and everyone already realized that the sea train was something that was going to change the entire water capital.
And Tom, the fishman who created the sea train, is undoubtedly the hero of the entire water capital.
Everyone was waiting for the moment when the man would be acquitted.
It's just that when people were busy boarding the ship, somewhere, a man with pale hair and a thin figure laughed out loud on the pubic side, "Not guilty? Are you kidding! How can you be innocent when the government wants you guilty! β
He excitedly turned his head to look at the ,-->> on the side of the island

At this time, the sea was still empty.
Walking along the man's line of sight to the sea on the other side, it was true that nothing could be seen from the direction of the station, but if you went around a section of the coast, you could see that several huge warships had been assembled.
At this time, the warships were speeding forward, preparing to bypass this coast and head in the direction of the judicial ship, and the guns of Sen Leng were ready to fire.
However, it was at this time that beneath the surface of the sea, a huge slender monster roamed by.
As he wandered by, his astonishing aura spread in all directions.
The people who were in control of the ships on each ship of the fleet rolled their eyes and passed out.
Then, when the monster finally poked out of the sea, the fiery dragon opened its mouth, "Thank me, Frankie, you don't have to regret it for the rest of your life." β
"Heat." ???.. Com
The government, or Spandam, framed Master Tom very nonsense, and when the Justice Ship arrived, let the agents steal the battleship built by Frankie to attack the Justice Ship, and then blame Master Tom.
Although it is obvious that there is a problem in the brain to carry out the attack at this time, who made the world government a world government?
This time, however, the ships had no chance to fire.
All of them have to sink quietly into the sea.
On the judicial ship, the people were seated in the makeshift courtroom, and Tom as the defendant and the judge were also in place.
"Tom the fish-man, once committed a great sin."
The gray-haired magistrate proclaimed, "But fourteen years ago, he showed us his vision, a sea train capable of connecting the sea!" β
"We were blown away by his vision and finally agreed to his request, and if he could make it happen, then we would pardon his crimes!"
"And now, fourteen years later, the sea train that can connect the islands above Qinghai in time has really appeared in front of my eyes!"
Excited smiles appeared on everyone's faces, and everyone thought that Master Tom's crime would be pardoned.
Except for a man on the shore who was looking at the sea with a panicked expression.
"What's going on! Damn, what the hell is going on? Why hasn't the battleship come here yet! β
He turned back in exasperation, "What's the matter with those bastards!" β
"Hug, I'm sorry sir!" His subordinates were also panicked, "Suddenly I can't contact that side!" β
"Bastard!!"
Man, CP5 Commander Spandam gritted his teeth, this was an errand that his father had managed to get him!
"I'll get in touch with the above right away!! Even if the operation fails, Tom must not be exonerated from his crimes! β
The Justice of the Judicial Ship paused slightly, ready to render the final verdict.
And then that's the time.
A navy with a phone bug suddenly ran over in a hurry.
"Your Excellency, the contact above!!"
The judge was stunned for a moment, and then said apologetically, "I'm sorry everyone, I'll answer the phone first." β
With that, he temporarily left the courtroom with the navy, leaving only a group of confused people.
"Damn! What are you doing? Can't you just acquit Mr. Tom first? β
Katy-Flam slammed his fist into the armrest of the seat in the auditorium.
"Be quiet, Frankie, and won't be waiting long." Esbagu discouraged.
But for some reason, he had a sense of foreboding.
In the dock, Tom pursed his lips and said nothing.
Soon, the judge hurried back, his face turning a little pale.
He looked at Tom and then again. The corners of the mouths of the onlookers twitched at the corners of their mouths.
And then.
"I declare,"
He picked up the judgment hammer, "Tom the fishman is guilty, and we will recognize him for his exploits in making sea trains, but the crime of building ships for One Piece cannot be eliminated." β
Syllable.
The hammer struck.
There was silence.
Then, in an uproar.
"Why! Isn't the agreement already complete! β
"Does the government want to break the contract!!"
The populace was outraged.
The navy of the court hastened to raise their weapons to prevent the riot.
"What are you kidding? Bastard!! β
In the audience, Katy-Flam burst into flames in an instant, his face turned red, his muscles burst out, and he was as hideous as a ghost.
"Mr. Tom has made the appointment!!"
"Shut up, Frankie!"
Tom was not slow to be fat, and he grabbed Flam and exclaimed, "If this is my fate, then I will accept it!" β
He knocked Flam unconscious with a punch, then threw him at Esbagu.
"Esbagu, take care of him, don't worry, I'll be fine!"
"But, Mr. Tomβ" Esbagus bit his lip with his teeth, blood staining his jaw red in an instant.
"Hahahaha, a man just has to face everything loudly!"
Mr. Tom laughed.
"Hey, Judge, what's next?"
The justice's face was pale, and he turned his head and didn't dare to look at Tom,
"The prisoner, Tom, is to be taken to Justice Island immediately to be executed."
