Chapter Twenty-Five: Tom and Frankie
The Capital of the Seven Waters, located on the great shipping route, is different from the previous island of Ba Moslila, this island can be described as famous and very prosperous.
The island is famous for its shipbuilding, from the battleship "Hades" 800 years ago to the "O'Jackson", the throne of One Piece Roger, all made here.
It is home to the largest number of shipyards in the world, as well as the most powerful shipyards, and even Tom, the world's number one shipwright, is also on this island.
But unfortunately, the world's No. 1 shipwright at this time was driven to live in a garbage dump because he built a ship for Roger.
"This island doesn't seem to be as prosperous as you say!"
Beidou looked at the group of workers in overalls in front of him, who obviously looked like workers in a shipyard, but like gangsters, they were getting angry because they were robbing customers, and questioned.
"Probably because Tom hasn't built a sea train yet." Zhang Yun thought for a while and said, "I'm going to find Tom later, what about you?" ”
"I'm with you, listen to what you said before, Tom should have been targeted by the world government, and if you approach rashly, you are likely to be in danger.
And I'm curious about the world's number one shipwright, and maybe I'll have to find him to build a ship in the future. ”
Beidou said with a smile: "In terms of trade, just let Kazuha follow them." By the way, Xiangling, what about you? Is it with us, or with the Kazuha them? ”
"I'd better go with Wanye and them, and I really want to buy some high-concentration sea salt here, as well as water and meat."
Sure enough, no matter where she went, Xiangling was most interested in things related to cooking.
After everyone discussed it, they began to act separately.
Tom's location was easy to find, as there was only one garbage dump in the Capital of Seven Waters, and after a brief inquiry with two passers-by, they found it.
And Wanye and they also chose to act separately again, some people went to inspect the market, and Xiangling followed them to buy the ingredients they wanted.
And Kazuha and the other part are left on the ship.
After all, selling goods is not something that can be sold when you open your mouth and shout.
Whether it is selling, setting up a stall, or opening a store, they always have to look at where there are more people, where they are most prosperous, and where they have the most money.
Different places have different popular products.
It's like a market in a downtown area that may look bustling, but the most popular items there are daily necessities, and luxury goods are hard to sell there.
On the other hand, the affluent area may not be so bustling, but it is the best place to sell this gorgeous luxury.
These crews brought by Beidou are not just ordinary sailors, they follow Beidou to the north and south, in addition to the strength of the handicap, the business knowledge is still very clear.
To be precise, the people of Liyue are very good at business. (You say yes, Zhongli, who never bargains)
……
"Is this it?"
Beidou looked at the garbage dump in front of him, although he was not disgusted, but he was also a little surprised that the world's No. 1 shipwright would be driven to such a place.
The reason is simply that I helped someone else build a ship!
"I saw it, let's go say hi." Zhang Yun looked at a small wooden house not far away with a plaque written "TOMS WORKERS" and said with a smile.
Knock knock!
"Anyone?" Zhang Yun knocked on the door, and soon heard the sound of Ding Ding Dong running from inside.
Immediately afterwards, I saw a blue-haired child in a shirt rush out, open the door, look at them suspiciously, and ask, "Who are you looking for?" ”
"Hello, is Mr. Tom here?" Zhang Yun looked at Frankie in his childhood and asked with a smile.
"Mr. Tom isn't here, what's the matter?" Frankie asked with some wariness.
"Let's talk about business, by the way, we were introduced by Roger, so don't be so nervous."
"Roger? Who to fool! Frankie obviously didn't believe it, and looked at Zhang Yun with a look of disdain and said.
"Hehe, Mitsuki Mita was going to introduce you to Roger and wanted to invite you on the boat, but you refused."
Roger didn't tell him about it, it was something he found out when he was reading the comics.
At first, he thought that Frankie was adopted by Tom after Roger's death, but after finishing the latest comics, he found out that Frankie had been invited by Mitsuki Mita.
You must know that at that time, he was still a little kid!
But...... Roger had two little kids on his ship, Shanks and Bucky, and he didn't care about another one.
When Frankie heard this, he immediately believed him, because no one else knew about this except for the Roger Pirates, as well as Tom and a few of them.
Zhang Yun can know about this, at least it means that they have seen Roger.
"Come with me." With that, Frankie walked towards a huge pile of wrecked ships in the distance.
Zhang Yun and the others followed, passing through the pile of abandoned ships, only to see a huge yellow fish-man carrying a pile of wood from a distance.
"Yo! Frankie, I slept a long time today! When Tom saw Franky, he immediately laughed and said, "Hahahaha, sure enough, it's not your time to drink now." ”
"No road race! Who told you to put wine wine in a Coke bottle, I didn't want to drink in the first place! Frankie said huffingly.
"Hahaha." Tom smiled, then looked at Zhang Yun and the others, "What's the matter with the two of you looking for me?" ”
"Hello, my name is Zhang Yun, I came here mainly to meet the legendary world's number one shipwright, and by the way, are you interested in working for me." Zhang Yun said with a smile.
"Hahaha, boy, I'm not interested in working for others, I still have my own things to do!" Tom refused without hesitation.
"That's right, who's going to work for someone they've just met!" Frankie also grimaced and said with an unhappy expression.
"Don't be in a hurry to refuse, anything is negotiable."
"Hahaha, then you can talk about it." Although Tom said this, the movement of his hand did not stop, but lowered his head and prepared to cut wood, obviously with the attitude that whatever you say, I will definitely not listen.
"The World Government must already be looking for trouble with you, just because you built a ship for Roger." Zhang Yun said.
"So what? If it were just to hide from the World Government, I could have gone to a secluded place in the middle of nowhere. ”
"You should also know that even if the sea train is built, the world government will keep an eye on the Hades blueprint in your hand, and then you will only have two choices, hand it over, or be killed by the pit."
"Boy......" Tom was about to say something, but was interrupted by Frankie, "what are you talking about!" ”
What Hades blueprints, it was inexplicable that Mr. Tom would die, and he was so angry that he wanted to beat Zhang Yun.
Zhang Yun glanced at Frankie, ignored him, and continued:
"Don't be in a hurry to deny it, I don't have much interest in the drawings of Hades, as long as the strength of the individual is strong enough, a world can be exploded, let alone a mere battleship, a foreign object is a foreign object after all.
Whether the situation I said will happen, you should know in your own heart that the world government is not a good person, otherwise they would not have arbitrarily arrested people to be slaves of those disgusting Draconians. ”
