Chapter 227 The Capital of Seven Waters, Tom Studio
"Hahahaha, this guy Dan said he was going to study the Forest of the Sea, but his shipbuilding skills haven't fallen behind at all." Fishman Tom walked around on the deck. He hadn't returned to Fishman Island for a long time. I feel very happy to see a boat built by my brother.
"It's really a great boat." Espagu followed the fishman Tom. "As expected, Mr. Tom's brother is also a great boatman."
Only Frankie was restless, sometimes patting the deck, sometimes knocking on the mast, sometimes hanging upside down on the side of the ship and looking at the cannons, and finally said unconvinced:
"Is this the ship that defeated my fleet of 'French Combat'? Impossible, right? There are only ordinary cannons, no powerful weapons at all!"
Zhang Da also thought of the Ferris wheel-shaped cannons on Franky's battleship, the speargun that could pierce the body of a Neptune creature, and the hemispherical mobile fortress. He had to admit that Franky was definitely a talent in weapons manufacturing.
"It wasn't this ship that defeated your warships, but us people." Zhang Da also shamelessly counted himself among them.
He felt that if he was not busy with defense but rushed to the fleet, he could dismantle a few warships, but it might not be as cool as Artoria's ship dismantling.
Franky didn't believe it: "Are you kidding me? My battleship No. 35 has killed a 100-meter-sized Sea King!"
"Not to mention 100 meters, 200 meters of Neptune is not enough for her to cut with one sword." Zhang Da also pointed at Artoria who was sharing snacks with cat Tom.
Arturia still felt sorry for Tom. Although she won all of Tom's snacks, she would share them with him again. However, the two of them shared the snacks enthusiastically, but accidentally forgot about Perona, who also lost the snacks.
["One three gets three, lose three biscuits, two three get six, lose six pieces of dried meat, three three get nine, are there any snacks for tomorrow..."
Memorizing multiplication tables in a mess, Perona suddenly felt sad for some reason: "We agreed that we can go shopping and buy toys tomorrow. We should be happy, right?"]
Frankie looked at the little girl whose hair was twitching while eating, and he couldn't imagine her wielding a sword to chop down the Neptune.
"It seems that my battleship is not strong enough. It's almost time to start building No. 36."
"Are you still building that kind of thing, idiot Qi!?" Espagu was furious. "Have you understood the situation? Today your battleship was used to attack the judicial ship. Will you use it next time? Come to bombard Justice Island?”
"You're the one who didn't understand the situation, idiot Bagu! The attack on the judicial ship was the fault of those agents, not the fault of the battleship!"
The two people were arguing and got into a fight. The big frog Yokozuna was busy at the side and didn't know how to break up the fight.
"Espago, Franky." Tom the fishman called, "Be careful not to damage anything on the boat."
The two men stopped fighting for a moment and said in unison: "I know, Mr. Tom!"
Then they looked at each other and continued fighting.
Rui Mengmeng, who had just brought out the tea, complained: "Shouldn't they be careful about breaking each other?"
"They two are very strong, hahahaha." Fishman Tom was used to the noisiness of the two disciples, and he smiled and responded to Zhang Daye's request to help check whether the hull was damaged.
It didn't take long for the Amber to arrive near Hulk Island.
This should be regarded as the side and rear of the Seven Waters Capital. From a distance, the Seven Waters Capital looks more like a mountain. On the top of the mountain is a giant fountain. A large amount of water is divided into seven streams and flows down the seven main waterways on the mountain. , dividing the entire city into 7 parts.
The seven main waterways are divided into many narrower waterways in the middle, and various buildings are built around these large and small waterways.
In addition to vehicles such as boats and bulu, various bridges are also very common here.
At this time, the location where the Amber stopped was next to a bridge. The bridge was connected to a tall gate with a "5" written on it. There should be six other numbers in other directions.
Of course everyone was called out when they docked, and everyone couldn't help but exclaimed "Wow".
Because it is now evening, the setting sun reflects on the giant fountain high up, dyeing the gushing water golden red. Countless small water droplets fly away, and occasionally there are a few small rainbows, making the whole city shine. .
Of course, this is just a scene from a distance. The situation up close is completely opposite. All you can see are damaged ships and abandoned wood. Hulk Island is truly worthy of its name.
"The conditions here are simple, I'm sorry." Even though Tom the fishman has a bold personality, he still feels a little embarrassed to entertain his benefactor in such a place.
Zhang Da also waved his hand: "It's nothing. I think you and Mr. Dan are really like brothers in this regard. There are also many scrap ships in the sea forest where he lives now."
Rui Mengmeng answered: "Hey, what the boss said is true."
Arturia and Shark Pepper also remembered the color of the sea and nodded.
Only Ye Yan and Brooke, who had never been to Fish-Man Island, looked at a loss.
And Tom the cat is taking Perona to look around, probably looking for treasures.
Franky asked impatiently: "Is Mr. Tom's brother also being excluded?"
"Excluded? Why do you say that?" Zhang Daye asked.
Franky said: "Mr. Tom was squeezed out because he helped build the Pirate King's ship, so the studio can only be under that bridge! He is obviously the world's number one shipbuilder..."
"No, Mr. Dan lives in Haizhisen out of his own interest." Zhang Da also said, "And after building the sea train, Mr. Tom's reputation should become very high, right? You want to move out here by then? It should be easy.”
"Hahahaha, anything like that is fine." Fishman Tom didn't care about this. In fact, if he was alone, he could just live in the water.
Espagu said unhappily: "Idiot Qi, if you dislike this place, just move out by yourself. Anyway, staying here will only cause chaos."
"Ah, pervert!" Perona covered her eyes. She just noticed that this blue-haired guy was the pervert she had seen on the judicial ship through the negative ghost wearing only swimming trunks.
"Oh~, Miss, are you complimenting me? I'm so embarrassed!" Franky was suddenly shy and spoke in a funny tongue-licking voice.
Espagu punched him and cursed: "What are you so proud of, you idiot? Put your pants on quickly, you bastard!"
"You guy!"
The two people disagreed and then got into a fight.
"Welcome back, Mr. Tom!" A 'beautiful woman' walked out of the warehouse under the bridge. "It seems that the misunderstanding has been resolved. The two of them are still so energetic!"
"That's right, Kokoro, thanks to these benefactors, let's prepare a sumptuous dinner." Fishman Tom introduced, "This is Miss Kokoro, the secretary of our Tom Studio."
Kokoluo greeted Zhang Daye and the others with a gentle smile, and Zhang Daye and the others responded politely.
This Granny Cocoluo no longer looks young, but her figure is not out of shape yet, at least not to the point where it will be like ten years later. Mentioning that she is a mermaid will shatter people's dreams.
Zhang Da also followed Cocoluo into Tom's studio, sighing in his heart that time is like a butcher's knife, but if Tom didn't die this time, she probably wouldn't have become so fat and drunk.
The official name of the City of Seven Waters is Water Seven. When translated, there are several versions of the City of Seven Waters, the Seven Islands of Water, the City of Water, and the City of Seven Waters.
It is said that the prototype is Venice, and even the setting of the Water Gods is based on the storm surges that often occur in Venice.
I heard that Oda is a symmetry freak. I wonder if the fact that there are a lot of junk ships in the place where brothers Tom and Dan live is intentional.
