Chapter 84: The Curtain Begins!
The 12-day Carnival of Masks has officially come to an end.
This year's Carnival of Masks is also very lively, with tourists having a lot of fun and residents making a lot of money.
There are three days left before the arrival of the Judicial Ship, and Tom's Studio is located in the open-air dock of the garbage disposal site.
The big apprentice in the turban, Iceberg, stopped what he was doing and looked at Tom worriedly: "Uh-huh! Mr. Tom, it's time to reconcile with Mr. Haoxue, right? ”
Tom, who was sitting on the table next to him and revised the drawings, scratched his head when he heard this: "...... Brother Haoxue is not on the island, I can't say...... I'll write to him again when the judicial ship is done. ”
At this time, several uninvited guests walked into the open dock, led by a big backhead with black eyes and a black nose and a smirk on his face to greet Tom:
"Hello, is that you? Mr. Tom, the shipwright, you can make it easy for us to find. I'm sorry, but there's something I want to talk to you about............ Poof!! ”
Before he could finish speaking, a cannonball fell from the sky next to him, and the explosion affected the unlucky bastard, blowing it up and flying alive.
"Wow puppet~ I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I don't know who you are, but congratulations on being hit by a shell! And ......"
A blue-haired airplane head dressed only in briefs and a beach shirt struck a peculiar and insolent celebratory pose and laughed: "Wow! Super!! God of War Frankie 35 returns triumphantly! I'm going to kill the Sea Kings!! ”
He flaunted the small, heavily armed solo battleship and the huge Sea King-like prey behind him: "Look! That's big enough!! A monster with a total length of 100 meters! ”
"Idiot who doesn't change...... iceberg was furious, picked up the big hammer and began to hammer the 'God of War Frankie 35', roaring while hammering: "How many times do you want me to say it?" I'm still building those broken battleships!! If you don't want to do it, I'll get rid of it all for you today!! ”
Frankie was shocked, and just as he was about to stop the iceberg, the latter grabbed him by the collar: "Uh-huh! Listen up Frankie, did you kill the Sea Kings? This shows that the power of these weapons is immeasurable!! You actually put dozens of warships with this kind of lethality here in such a grand manner, how do you have a long brain!? ”
"I'm not here to attack people!"
"It's not about your will!! I'm holding you accountable for allowing these weapons to exist! Stupid Odd!! ”
As he spoke, Iceberg turned his head to look at Tom, who was laughing: "Mr. Tom! Scold him too! This kid is really discrediting our company! ”
"Wait...... Wait a minute......"
The unlucky guy who had been hit by the cannonball finally got up, a large bag bulging out of his head, apparently hit hard by the blow, but his vitality seemed to be particularly tenacious.
The man shouted in annoyance, "Please wait a minute!! I hope you can apologize to me first and then listen to me!! ”
......Seeing the characteristic white suit, Tom thought that these people were people sent by the government to announce the verdict, but suddenly remembered the warning of Victor and Haoxue before leaving, so he closed his mouth and remained silent.
"My name is Spendham, and I'm the head of CP5, the intelligence agency directly under the government, and I'd like to talk to you alone."
“…… Yes, go to the brick warehouse, it's quieter. ”
Under the bridge, a brick-walled warehouse.
"Then I'll get straight to the point, the government has learned that you have something in your hands."
Spendham's face was full of pride, and he sneered while pacing exaggeratedly in front of Tom, "The design drawings of the 'Ancient Weapon' are in your hands, right?" Hand it over! ”
"Haha!! I do not know! I don't have that kind of thing! Tom laughed, but his heart was cold - did the government know about it earlier? Or was it a deliberate trap set up by that young Seven Martial Seas?
"Don't give me a sloppy eye! Give you some face, and you'll fill me with garlic!? Spandam was furious, jumped on the barrel and grabbed Tom by the collar and yelled, "The City of Seven Waters has been investigated by us!" Just search your place and you'll find that thing in no time!! ”
"Haha! What right do you have to search me? Tom smiled disapprehantly.
"Absolutely! I even know all about your crime of building a ship for One Piece Roger!! Spandam smugly pointed at Tom: "As long as you are a criminal, I can do whatever I want with you!" ”
"Really? But the government has known about it for a long time. Tom blinked his little round eyes and said innocently.
"What!? Sling the bull!! Then why haven't you been captured yet, and still be able to build a boat here? ”
"Since you're an intelligence officer, then you can find out for yourself! Good bye! ”
Spandam was thrown out of the brick warehouse by Tom, and he didn't bother to talk to the idiot anymore.
Spendham yelled and cursed outside the door for a while, but when he saw that he couldn't open the door, he had to leave with the rest of CP5's men.
Center Street, 'Angler' Tavern.
“…… Yes? Tom, you say? The innkeeper was a young old man, and he replied to Spandham's inquiries leisurely as he wiped his glass: "The business he made with the Judicial Ship has been completed. At the trial three days later, his sins should be written off...... Amazing Tom, what a man! ”
"Can you be safe and sound if you get involved with Roger? Are you kidding! ”
Spendham yelled at the tavern as he left the tavern, and several CP5 members behind him complied.
This mission was that he used his father's connections, and finally got the opportunity to meet the five old stars. In that glorious palace, Spandam exhausted his eloquence to describe to the five old men who represented the highest level of power in the world government, the bright future of the world government, which had mastered the 'ancient weapons'.
And the five old stars seem to have been moved by him, but it only makes sense if they get the drawings. This is a test and an opportunity! As long as you get your hands on that thing, you can rise to the top, and you can even be promoted to CP9 Chief! Then there will be no more unruly subordinates like Blackmoya 'Guest in the Rain'.
Speaking of Blackmoa, Spendham's head is a big circle. That guy infiltrated the City of Seven Waters with Saiko, the Little Beast, saying that it was to pave the way for CP5's next move. The result? After many days, there was no reply, until the day before the Carnival of Masks, a CP5 officer found the corpses of Revolutionary Army cadre 'Sabbath' Polpo and another Revolutionary Army minion in an alley, which could be determined to be the work of Blackmoya based on the wound examination.
It should have been a welcome thing. But the third corpse found in the same alley was complete bad news - it was the corpse of the 'little beast' Saiko. According to the scene, Blackmoa and Seko surrounded Polpo and the minion in the alley. Blackmore unleashed his fruit abilities and slaughtered two revolutionary armies. However, for some reason, he had another confrontation with Saiko, who tried to escape using the Moon Step, but was killed by Blackmore from the air with a finger gun, and then Blackmore fled the scene in a hurry using the Moon Step. After careful investigation, the possibility of a fifth person at the scene was ruled out, as there were no extra footprints.
In short, Blackmore absconded for some reason, and Seko was killed. Even the killing of the famous Sabbath Polpo could not make Spendam happy, and he did not even dare to report it. Because of his notoriously poor relationship with Blackmoya, the above must suspect that it was his suppression of Blackmoya that caused this CP5 genius to flee angrily. The fate of that hapless 'observer' Colonel Crohn in the Navy a few months ago is vivid, and he doesn't want to be thrown out to the open like that Crohn and never return to the Great Voyage for the rest of his life.
As long as this task is completed, even the biggest mistake can be undone!
"The information we have worked so hard to find must not be in vain!" Spandam showed a sinister expression: "Want to write off all the sins of building for Roger? Stop dreaming! ”
He turned his head to the CP5 members behind him and ordered, "Hey! Call five more intelligence officers! ”
"Yes!"
………………
Three days later.
Today's capital of seven waters is sunny and beautiful, and the white clouds in the sky are layered on top of each other, but they always set off the blue sky just right.
"The Judicial Ship is here!! The verdict against Mr. Tom is about to be announced!! "On the seashore, sharp-eyed residents saw the judicial boat that was about to dock.
The judicial ship docked on the shore is magnificent, and this is a mobile maritime court, which is escorted by a number of navies.
The inhabitants rushed into the courtroom of the judicial ship. And the gray-haired old judge also smiled and sorted out his dress. Beside him stood the lieutenant commander of the navy, who smiled and asked, "Your Excellency, have you ever visited the sea train?" ”
The old judge was the same judge who had tried Tom fourteen years ago and given him a ten-year reprieve, and it was he who handed down the final verdict this time. He smiled and said, "I've sat there once." And he turned that into reality...... No one should have any objections to his acquittal verdict. ”
There are 30 minutes left to leave the courtroom.
Behind the huge rocky hill not far from the Judicial Ship lurked 35 small warships. Each ship is heavily armed, and each ship is scrawled with the words 'BATTLEFRANKY'.
They are none other than the shipwright Tom's second disciple, Katy Flam's favorite ship, the God of War French series of battleships!
On each ship lurked a spy in a black diving suit, who was instructed by Spandam to attack the Judicial Ship in another 10 minutes with these small warships, and then dive to escape, leaving Tom and his two stupid apprentices speechless!
As Spandam said to them, this is a negligible price to pay for justice. Tom and his apprentices should gladly accept it!
And in the distance, at the edge of the sea area of the Capital of Seven Waters, more than thirty huge pirate ships have been assembled. The monstrous flames can't be stopped at all, and such a pirate alliance can capture any country or naval branch.
Standing on the bow of the flagship "Sea Salt", the "Salt King" Gustav Elomon took out his pocket watch and looked at it, and then showed a sinister smile:
"Little ones! And my dear allies! The time has come, and the City of Seven Waters will usher in its end today! ”
"Departure ————!!"
