Tom's Studios, in-house warehouse.

"Hey!"

"Quack!"

Flam and the frog crossed the hill in unison, righting the huge log.

The iceberg picked up the hemp rope on the side and tied the log firmly to the beams and pillars on the ground.

Everyone was busy in an orderly manner, reinforcing this most important warehouse.

The "Prototype of the Sea Train", which is about to be completed, is stored here, as well as many important drawings, including the train tracks.

It can even be said that this warehouse is the hope of the capital of seven waters!

When it was first built, the warehouse was "shelter-grade" sturdy, but it was further fortified every year during the tsunami just in case.

Especially this year.

The weather was extremely abnormal and the coastline receded much longer than in previous years, which means that the destructive power of this tsunami is likely to be multiplied!

Everyone in Tom's studio did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and the warehouse resounded with a ding-dong thump for a while.

Flam: "......"

Iceberg noticed that Flam's gaze skimmed out from time to time, and he couldn't help but teach:

"Stupid Qi, give me a serious job!"

"I'm working super - - seriously, stupid iceberg!"

Flamem retorted, but couldn't help but be curious: "Anyway, hasn't the group of people outside finished fighting yet?" ”

“……”

The iceberg doesn't know how to answer.

To be honest, he couldn't understand the behavior of that group of people either.

Obviously they were friends one second, but the next second they had to stand on the opposite side.

Boom! Boom! Boom......

Heavy footsteps came.

It turned out to be Tom the Fishman, who single-handedly brought in a huge train engine from outside.

He overhears the conversation between Iceberg and Flam and puts the train engine on the stationary frame, then laughs and laughs:

"Hahaha, that's the consciousness of a man!"

Click!

Tom flicked up the thick chains, secured the train engine, and placed it on the other side of the warehouse.

Looking at the reinforced warehouse, Tom clapped his hands and said with a smile: "What a resounding warehouse, as long as you don't encounter a huge earthquake now, it's absolutely fine!" ”

"Don't say such unfortunate words, it may come true, Mr. Tom."

The secretary, Ke Ke Luo, carried the plate and brought a hot drink to replenish the strength of the group.

She witnessed the results of the battle outside.

"Some people were hurt, but everyone was happy......

The hot drink was distributed to everyone, but Ke Keluo suddenly changed his words and said helplessly: "But we, or the entire capital of seven waters, seem to be in trouble." ”

"What?!"

Iceberg and Flamem were shocked.

Just as he wanted to continue asking, another figure appeared at the door of the warehouse.

It's Klockdahl.

He made sure his mask was undamaged, then stepped forward and said, "It's the World Government."

The gloomy gaze turned to Tom and explained further:

"The World Government really wants what you have in your hands, but because of our appearance, the World Government feels that they don't have a chance."

"So-"

"They want to destroy the protective walls of the Seven Waters City, so that the entire city will be overturned by Aquaraganna and completely buried at the bottom of the sea. ”

“？！”

As soon as these words came out, Iceberg and Flamem suddenly couldn't sit still.

The two themselves don't have a good impression of the world government, and the difference is nothing more than whether they are calm or not.

Flamem gritted his teeth and said, "Those bastards ......"

"Hahahahaha!"

Tom, on the other hand, was not in a hurry, and even laughed and said, "It seems that you probably have a way to solve it, right?" ”

"Perhaps."

Crocodall took a cigar in his mouth and motioned, "Now, I need to know the layout of the key walls." ”

"No problem."

Tom replied decisively.

He is a well-known man, and he naturally does not look ahead and backward when he does things, and immediately takes out a map to write and draw.

In comparison, Iceberg and Flam are a little immature.

Flam was about to open his mouth and ask about the details, but was stopped by a wave of his hand from Klockdahl.

"Little ghost, I don't have time to explain right now."

Klockdahl took a puff of his cigar and said with a gloomy smile: "The only thing I can tell you is that few people in this 'sea' will move faster than 'their'!" ”

They—

Lindsay, Uta, Robin, Zefa, and a host of naval recruits!

"But—"

Crocodal puffed on his cigar and muttered, "Faster!" ”

"I always feel like there's something wrong......"

……

In a short time, Tom marked all the key wall locations.

Klockdahl picked up the map and left, meeting up with Nicole Robin at the door of the warehouse.

Robin took the map and used the communicator to synchronize the locations with Lindsay, Uta, and the navy.

The crowd had already dispersed, shuttling through the Seven Waters Capital, searching for possible government agents.

Although legally, the navy cannot take action against government agents, but Zefa is also a master of pretending to be confused.

They are now dealing with "thugs", not "world government workers"!

……

Klockdahl and Robin set their goals and went all the way.

On the way, I met many residents of the Seven Waters City who had taken refuge.

They were talking about this year's Yakua Ragnar, plus the many strange things that had happened in the City of Seven Waters recently.

"Haha, look at the amplitude of the tide receding, this time the tsunami movement is not small!"

"Why did you still move a case of wine?"

"Drinking and waiting for the water to recede, it's the most beautiful!"

"Hopefully this year's salt harvest will be better and I will make more money."

"Your shipyard has started to sell salt to make ends meet?"

"Anyway, today's Seven Waters are not stable, are you okay over there?"

“……”

Hearing everyone's words, Klokdal's brow furrowed even deeper.

Robin on the side was also lost in thought.

The two of them spoke at the same time, muttering, "Something is wrong. ”

Klockdahl said: "The world government will never take any chances against [demons]. ”

"Although the tsunami is dangerous, Mr. Lindsay has the ability to fly, and the world government will not let go of this loophole," Robin said. ”

Once again, they said in unison: "So, the World Government's actions must be more than just destroying the defensive walls!" ”

They continued on their way, but suddenly they reached out and patted one large and one small.

Syllable!

The two reached a consensus.

……

At night, the sky gets darker and darker.

Defensive wall key points.

Alley.

Klockdahl condensed a gravel scimitar and killed the government agents who were about to destroy the area.

"This is the third ......"

Klockdahl's brow furrowed, and his face became more and more gloomy.

Due to the impending heavy rain, Klockdahl only felt uncomfortable.

"Well, it's better to end everything before it rains, or it's not good for me."

Turning to look at Robin.

Robin had already activated the Flowey Fruit ability, dropped the bomb into the sea, and then rushed over to join up with Klockdahl.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Klockdahl pondered the previous question.

"The appearance of [Black Wrist] Zefa was an accident."

"In order to deal with [the demon], the world government is going to use the tsunami."

"Well, a tsunami...... Today's tsunami ......"

“……”

"Today?"

Klockdahl realized the crux of the matter.

"If it weren't for today, then how would the World Government deal with [the Demon]? What is the real purpose of procrastination? ”

"Even the existence of Tsunami Yaqua Lagna is an 'accident', an 'accident' like [Black Wrist]!"

"There's a real backhand for the world government—"

Click!

Before the words fell, a thunderclap suddenly sounded in the sky.

Torrential raindrops fell and dripped on Klockdahl's shoulders.

“？”

Affected by the raindrops, the ability of the rustling fruit was limited for a short moment.

Coupled with the many conjectures in his mind, Klockdahl's spirit also relaxed for a moment.

And it was in these "two" moments -

A large, burly black shadow appeared behind Klockdahl.

Seeing this, Nicole Robin, who was not far away, felt the extremely dangerous aura, and even didn't care about hiding her identity, and shouted: "Mr. Crocodale! ”

“！”

Klockdahl's eyes widened, but before he could turn around, he was hit in the head by a huge fist.

Boom boom!

He flew out on his side and smashed through several houses.

At the same time, the black shadow spread its arms and basked in the pouring rain, and burst into a hideous laugh.

"Ahh

The sound of horrific laughter rang out all around, stinging Nicole Robin's eardrums.

Click!

Another flash of thunder flashed, illuminating the figure for what it really was.

Dressed in a black military uniform, wearing headphones, reddened skin, long yellow curly hair, and a hideous and terrifying face—

Douglas Barrett, descend to the City of Seven Waters!
