On the northeast coast of the City of Seven Waters, there is a garbage disposal site under the bridge, where abandoned ship wrecks are piled up, and over time it has become a collection place for Tom's Studios.

'Warehouse Under the Bridge', Tom Shipbuilding Studio Headquarters.

"Welcome to Tom's Studio! Do you need to build a ship or repair a ......? Well? Old man Haoxue!? When there was a knock on the door, it was opened by a blue-haired airplane head wearing only swim trunks and a floral shirt. He recited the dull and unwavering backboard lines until he saw Haoxue looking at him with a smile outside the door.

"Little pervert, long time no see." Hao Xue smiled and slapped the back of the head of the blue-haired plane: "There are several ladies on our side, hurry back and put on your pants!" ”

It seems that Haoxue didn't 'educate' the blue-haired airplane head before, and the latter swallowed and spat at the mouth and didn't dare to refute, so he had to walk to the back room stupidly, and said something in his mouth as he walked: "What...... Punching people up as soon as we meet, does my head feel good? I miss you a lot......"

"Uh-huh! Frankie, who's outside the door? A well-proportioned black-lipped young man with half-length blue hair walked out of the back room, looked at the door suspiciously, and then shouted in surprise: "Mr. Haoxue! Mr. Tom, Mr. Haoxue has come to see us! Come out of here! ”

"Heavy snow?" A tall and fat white-bearded fishman also squeezed out of the back room, looked out the door in a daze, and then laughed happily: "Hahahaha!! ……！！ ……！！ ……！！ ”

"Tom, your peculiar way of laughing hasn't changed." Hao Xue also laughed: "Be careful to laugh so much that you go back to your breath." ”

"Mr. Tom, how can you hang your guests out of the door like that? Iceberg, you go and look at Frankie and make sure he has his pants on. A curvaceous woman walked out, but her face was a little ...... Be imaginative. She greeted everyone with a smile: "Come in, everyone, I'll go make tea." ”

In the living room, Frankie, who was wearing cropped pants, and Iceberg, who was wrapped in a black turban, sat on the sidelines, looking at the guests with some restraint.

It's not to blame that they have some inferiority. Whether it is Victor's confident and high-spirited superior temperament, or Robin's quiet and elegant intellectual beauty, or the coquettish exotic style of Wu Hongji's heroic spirit, the two young people who have never seen much of the world don't know how to talk. Moreover, Haoxue is not as good-tempered as Mr. Tom, and when he visited in the past, he used to teach the two of them violently in the name of 'Mr. Tom's brother'. The iceberg is okay to say, Frankie is really scared.

On the other side, Haoxue just introduced the two sides.

"Little brother Victor, it's amazing that you can persuade this old stubborn to get out of the mountain." Tom laughed out loud as he spoke: "My brother is a well-known man, he has been talking since he was a child, hahahaha!" ……！！ ……！！ ……！！ ”

Soon, Tom was laughing almost out of breath.

"Mr. Tom, don't laugh so exaggeratedly, do you?" The beautiful secretary known as 'Cocoro' patted Tom on the back and said helplessly.

After a few pleasantries, Victor nodded to Robin, who dragged Perona, Mai Honghime, and Matthew to chat with Iceberg and Frankie.

"Tom, the old man and Victor have come to you this time because they have something to tell you." Hao Xue shook her head: "Let's go to the brick wall warehouse and talk." ”

Tom saw that his sworn brother had such a serious expression, and knew that the other party definitely had something important to tell him, so he took Victor and Haoxue into the warehouse behind the studio.

In a warehouse full of scrap and miscellaneous items, Tom moved several wooden barrels to use as chairs. He sat down on the barrel, crunched the barrel, and asked suspiciously, "Big brother, what's going on?" ”

“…… Tom, in 15 days, the judicial ship appointed by the World Government will come to judge you, right? Haoxue didn't sit down, just leaned against the wall and hugged her arms, and said in a deep voice: "Are you sure?" ”

"Don't worry, the agreement with the judicial ship has been completed." Tom couldn't help but laugh again: "Dahaha! When the time comes, the merit and the 'sin' should be able to offset it. ”

Haoxue glanced at Victor, who nodded.

"Mr. Tom, I'm afraid it's not going to be that simple." Victor sat on the barrel and said calmly, "The World Government has an eye on the blueprints of 'that thing' in your hand, and they won't let you go." ”

Tom was stunned for a moment, then looked at Haoxue. The latter shrugged his shoulders: "Don't look at the old man, it's his own intelligence channel." Victor is already a member of the Seven Martial Seas, but the World Government has not yet announced it. ”

"Your Majesty's Seven Martial Seas are really rude to come to the Humble House!" The smile on Tom's chubby face faded a little: "It's just that I really don't know about the thing you said, why don't you go somewhere else and ask?" ”

"Mr. Tom, I know this is a bit abrupt, and it's only natural that you have trouble trusting me." Victor wasn't annoyed, but said gently, "But since I've become a Seven Martial Seas, I'm naturally able to get some high-level internal information. Trust me, they're really going to do it to you! And this time it's CP5, which is proficient in gathering intelligence and infiltrating. Now that they're here, they're definitely targeting you......"

"Haha! This Lord of the Seven Martial Seas, the black-haired girl who has been sitting next to you just now should be Nicole Robin, right? Tom laughed: "Brother Haoxue, don't you think it's funny?" The newly appointed Nanatsukai, with the only woman in this world who can resurrect that thing, came to me and asked for the blueprint of that thing! Haha!! ……！！ ……！！ ……！！ ”

“…… Tom, the old man didn't reveal a word. Haoxue looked at Tom, who was laughing, and said in a deep voice: "The old man swears in the name of Shana!" The old man just wants to save your life! ”

"I'm doing well now, Brother Haoxue." Tom stared at the small round eyes, and his white beard trembled a little: "The sea train has been opened, and the four lines have been completed. I made a deal with the government! From now on, I can build ships in peace and sound, and then watch my apprentices come out one by one! But I can't have such an ordinary life? ”

"Tom, you ......" Haoxue's lightning-type eyebrows twisted up, and her whole face was gloomy like a dense dark cloud: "You stupid...... Why don't you listen to persuasion!! ”

"That's because the eldest brother is always so willful to give orders!" Tom yelled, "Shanna did that too! Orm that time too!! Always saying, 'It's for your own good,' and at the end of the day!? You're a complete loser!! ”

"Bastard!" Haoxue grabbed Tom by the collar and raised her fist. But looking at the chubby but stubborn face in front of him, Haoxue couldn't shake his fist.

"Please don't get too excited, you two." Victor stood up and patted the ashes, then looked at Tom calmly: "That's it, no matter what we say now, I'm afraid you won't be able to listen to Mr. Tom." However, if nothing else, CP5 will definitely come to the door before the arrival of the judicial ship. When the time comes, please Mr. Tom, make sure you hide the drawings of that thing and keep an eye on the people around you. CP5…… It's not that easy to pass. Mr. Haoxue, let's go. ”

With that, Victor gently clasped his black bowler hat on his head, walked out of the warehouse to say hello to the others, and left Tom's studio with his companions first.

Tom ...... This time, the old man also hoped that he was wrong. Hao Xue let go of Tom's collar, his eyes full of exhaustion and helplessness: "I hope everything is well......"

With that, he also walked out of Tom's studio.

Iceberg and Frankie glanced at each other at the door of the brick-walled warehouse, and just as they wanted to say something, Coco grabbed one of their ears and carried them away.

There was silence in the brick-walled warehouse, and the fat fishman, who had never been angry and always smiled, was now sitting on the barrel in a daze, his face full of loss.
