The City of Seven Waters, also known as Shipbuilding Island, is a very famous island on the Grand Route.
If there is any place in the world that has the strongest shipbuilding technology except the navy, then there is only one answer to this question, and that is the Capital of Seven Waters.
Roger, the pirate king who conquered this sea, his car Oro Jackson was designed and built by the shipwrights of the Seven Waters Capital.
I heard that the keel of Roger's Oro Jackson was made of the most precious material in the world, the branches of the Adam's tree.
His sailboats were able to escape from Navy warships many times, and the Oro Jackson was indispensable.
As for Garp and his team who left the Navy Headquarters, the goal of their trip was this shipbuilding island located in the center of the Great Route!
"Tom is a murloc, a horned murloc."
"He helped design and build Roger's boat."
"As Roger became the Pirate King, Tom's reputation also increased and he was known as the world's number one shipbuilder."
"Although there is no competition in shipbuilding skills on this sea, his name is definitely not in vain."
"Yuanyi, if you want to sail in the new world, having him help design the ship will definitely be even more powerful!"
On the blue sea, the dog-headed warship gradually slowed down, and a huge island appeared in front of the warship.
This island is very strange. In the center of the island, there is a drop of water rising into the sky, and the water is continuously spraying towards the sky. When the water fell, it was diverted into seven torrents by the large canal and dam built on the island, flowing back into the sea from different directions.
Among the torrent and the gap in the center of the torrent are countless private houses. From a distance, the entire island looks like a crown with seven blue tassels.
"He's from the Capital of Seven Waters."
"Is this name because the soaring sea current was divided into seven rivers by the dam?"
"What an ingenious design, and it's obviously not in the New World, but the sea currents around the Capital of Seven Waters are really strange!"
On the deck of the dog-headed warship, Ji Guoyuan was wearing a loose red training uniform and a white navy cloak of justice. He had three long knives on his waist. He looked at the islands in the distance and said with a smile.
As the sea breeze blew, the cloak fluttered slightly in the wind, and Yuanyi's long red hair also flew wildly in the wind.
"Well, it has something to do with it."
"And the shipwrights have also made good use of the seven torrents. Look at the location of the embankment at the water outlet. Is it marked with a serial number?"
"That is the serial number of the shipyard."
"On this island, there are seven large shipyards. The built ships will be pushed directly into the river, along the river, and dropped to the sea."
"The strange sea currents around the Capital of Seven Waters are actually caused by the seven rivers flowing back into the sea."
"As long as the ship has enough power, it can completely ignore this current."
Garp said, waving towards the observation deck behind him. After seeing Garp's signal, the naval officers and soldiers on the observation platform also quickly sent orders to the cab. The dog-headed warship that had just slowed down, at this moment Started to speed towards the island.
As soon as Ji Guoyuan felt that the power of the warship should have reached its maximum at this time, and as the dog-headed warship got closer and closer to the island, the speed of the dog-headed warship became faster and faster.
After breaking through the currents around the Seven Waters Capital, the warship began to slow down, and then stopped steadily at the port of No. 3 Dockyard.
"Vice Admiral Karp, the most advanced power source of our navy today should be steamships, right?"
"And this technology is only mastered by Dr. Vegapunk and his team."
"But the world's best shipbuilder in your words should only be able to build sailboats, right?"
"Is it possible that I only ask him to build the hull of the warship, and let the Vegapunk team install the most modern power system for me?"
"I think the headquarters won't even agree to this, right?"
The warship docked at the shore. Jiguoyuanyi, Yixiao and others, led by Garp, stepped off the warship and walked towards the island.
Unlike the New World, the residents of the Seven Waters Capital are no strangers to the navy. When they saw Yuanyi and his team, they just took a few more curious glances and went about their own business. He didn't show too much surprise.
On the way, Yuanyi also expressed his thoughts. To be honest, if there is advanced technology, he really wants to use it.
This mentality is like when boys buy a car. If they have money, they must pursue the most advanced and best-equipped car!
"What you are talking about cannot be done because the structure is different."
"Of course, don't underestimate Tom. The world's best shipwright is not just talking about it."
"His skills go beyond just building sailboats!"
"Don't worry, you will be satisfied with his design."
Garp patted Yuanyi on the shoulder and said with a smile.
Then, as if something suddenly occurred to him, he stopped a passer-by and asked him about the location of Tom, the shipbuilder.
After working on it for a long time, Garp had no idea where the other party was now!
Tom was already well-known in the Capital of the Seven Waters, and by asking around, they knew where Tom lived.
By the time Garp, Jiguoyuan and others found Tom, he was working with other craftsmen to build something at the No. 1 dock on the island.
Ji Guoyuan just looked at that look, it seemed like a locomotive?
In the dock. Building a locomotive?
"Hey! Tom, the navy is looking for you!"
The person who led Garp, Yuan Yi and others to find Tom was a middle-aged uncle who seemed to be the person in charge of the shipyard here and was familiar with Tom. After taking Yuanyi and the others into the dock, they shouted to a fat, strong man on the scaffolding.
"Huh? The navy is looking for me?"
"I have no contact with the navy!"
Tom, who was working, stopped what he was doing when he heard the shouts of his companions. He turned around and saw Garp and his party. The moment he saw Garp, Tom couldn't help but his pupils shrank slightly and his expression became a little solemn.
Navy hero, Lieutenant General Garp!
The moment he saw Garp, Tom recognized the man in front of him and his heart sank. He didn't think it would be a good thing for a vice admiral to come to him with great fanfare!
"The Navy finally plans to pursue that matter."
"It came later than I expected."
Tom stopped his work, climbed down from the scaffolding, and slowly walked up to Garp and Ji Guoyuan and the others. He actually raised his hands toward Garp, as if he was ready to catch them.
"Tom, I have long admired your name."
"Uh, what are you doing?"
When Garp saw the other person coming, he smiled and said hello to Tom, but after the other person came to him, he actually raised his hand. When Garp saw this scene, he scratched his hair in confusion and looked at Tom with a puzzled expression.
"Aren't you just here to catch me?!"
"No need to act, Marine!"
"I know what I did, and I feel very honored to be able to contribute to a man like that!"
"It has nothing to do with other people, don't disturb them, I'll go with you!"
Tom raised his head slightly and said proudly. And his words also made Cyrus and Yixiao feel confused.
After Garp heard this, he looked obviously startled, and then he couldn't help laughing, waving his hands and explaining:
"no no!"
"We are not looking for you for such trivial matters."
"Tom, our Navy would like to ask you to help us build a warship."
"As for the budget, it's 300 million beli."
"Let this guy tell you the specific requirements!"
After Garp gave a simple explanation, he patted Enichi Tsukikuni on the back. At Garp's instruction, Enichi also took a step forward, walked to Tom, stretched out his hand and held Tom's right hand. , said with a smile:
"Hello, Mr. Tom."
"I am the Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, the successor to the country."
"I am the one who asked you to build the ship."
"I am about to enter a new world and need a ship that can help me navigate the sea. I hope to get your help!"
After hearing Jiguo Enichi's words, Tom, who was originally prepared to "sacrifice generously", suddenly became embarrassed.
"Building a ship. I told you earlier!!"
"This is no problem! Helping the navy is our duty as citizens! Haha...haha."
Tom chuckled, and then seemed to suddenly think of something. There was a trace of vigilance in his eyes, and he looked at Jiguo Yuanyi.
"Such a young Vice Admiral of the Navy? When did such a figure appear in the Navy?"
"The name Jiguo Enichi sounds so familiar."
"!!!"
"The Marine who killed Shiki the Golden Lion?! So young!"
While Tom was sizing up Yuanyi, his thoughts were racing. Suddenly, Tom remembered relevant information about the young navy in front of him, and the vigilance in his eyes became even more intense.
"Such a young Vice Admiral wants a battleship to come to me?!"
"The shipwright skills of the Navy Headquarters are very outstanding. I'm afraid the purpose of these navy is not that simple!"
Tom looked at Jiguo Yuanyi and Garp with great vigilance in his heart.
Tom himself knew very well that he not only possessed shipbuilding skills, he also held something important in his hands, something so important that anyone who knew it would be jealous!
That is the ancient weapon—Pluto’s drawings!
Two lieutenant generals appeared inexplicably in the Capital of Seven Waters. One was the hero Garp, and the other was the navy supernova who killed Shiji the Golden Lion.
Tom couldn't help but doubt the navy's purpose. Is it really as simple as asking him to build his own ship?
Thinking of this, Tom began to test:
"Lieutenant General Jiguo, I don't know, what kind of requirements do you have for the warship you want?"
When Ji Guoyuan heard that the other party seemed to agree to help build the warship, a smile appeared on his face, he touched his chin, and looked forward:
"My request is actually very simple!"
"The power must be strong! The best thing is to be able to get rid of the limitations of the sailboat, and the endurance must be strong. After all, we are in the new world, and the distance between islands is quite different."
"If possible, I hope that the warships can be equipped with the most advanced and powerful weapons. Laser cannons are very good. They are most powerful enough to destroy an island with one shot."
"Oh, by the way, I plan to use the warship as a mobile fortress on the sea. In the future, most of the days going to sea will be taken up. I am afraid that the resting time of the sailors on the warship will be much higher than the time of resting on land. "
"The facilities must be complete, the area must be large enough, and the armor must be hard enough. It is best to be equipped with a mobile dock and carry a sufficient number of speedboats. In this way, the tactics and tactics can be enriched when chasing pirates."
"."
Ji Guoyuan raised his head slightly and talked about the functions he wanted with a thoughtful look, completely unaware that Tom's face in front of him was getting darker and darker.
Tom's face was dark, not because Jiguoyuanyi's requests were too whimsical. The reason why he was darkened was because in Tom's mind, there was only one thing that could satisfy Jiguoyuanyi's demands.
That is the ancient weapon-Pluto!
According to legend, a huge battleship can destroy an island with just one strike! !
The more Ji Guoyuan spoke, the darker Tom's face became. He was convinced that the purpose of this group of navy's coming to him was not just to simply ask him to build a warship!
"Sure enough, these guys are here for the Pluto drawings!" Tom secretly thought in his heart, but a smile appeared on his face, interrupting Yuanyi's "fantasy" and said: "Sorry! Lieutenant General Jiguo, what you said ,I can not do it."
"I disappoint you."
After Tom refused, his heart was already hanging. He knew that the navy in front of him would probably be desperate when they heard his refusal!
"Hey, hey, Yuanyi, I'm asking you to make a request, not making a wish!"
“Say something realistic!”
"What you said, even if he can really do it, the cost of 300 million beli is not enough!"
"Right, Tom?"
When Garp saw Yuanyi's look, he shook his head helplessly and tried to smooth things over.
"Yes!"
"Huh? No, no, it can't be done. I can't do it."
When Tom heard Garp's words, he nodded subconsciously, but the next second, he felt that there was something in Garp's words, and quickly denied it.
What does "even if he can really do it?", he can't do it. He really can't do it!
"?" Tom's strange response made Garp feel strange, but he didn't think much about it. He patted Yuanyi on the back and urged: "Say something realistic!"
"Uh" After listening to Garp, Yuanyi also closed his mouth. After thinking for a moment, he smiled at Tom and said:
"Forget it, let's leave professional matters to professionals."
"This is my idea anyway. As for how far it can be achieved, it depends on Mr. Tom."
"Mr. Tom, if you help design and build such a warship, how long will it take?"
Yuanyi asked Tom's opinion wisely. After all, he was a professional. No matter how many tricks he had in his mind, it was meaningless if the other party couldn't create them.
"Emmmmm" Tom saw that Jiguo Enichi and Garp didn't seem to be planning to break up, so he pondered, thinking about how to respond to this question.
“Three months, from design to construction!”
"Give me three months and I can complete it!"
After thinking about it, Tom gave a safer time. After hearing this, Garp frowned slightly, and Yuanyi also looked at Tom with some surprise.
"Too slow! Can it be faster?" Garp said solemnly, and Yuanyi couldn't help but look sideways at these words.
"Three months is too late?" Ji Guoyuan asked subconsciously, but as soon as he said these words, he realized his mistake.
How does the shipbuilding speed in the One Piece world compare to the current world?
"Well, it does take a long time, but because it is a ship that is going to sail in the New World, it needs to be more precise from design to manufacturing."
"Moreover, some materials also need to be purchased. After all, there is a difference between warships and ordinary warships."
Tom smiled. Seeing that Jiguo Yuanyi and Garp had no intention of breaking up, he simply cooperated with Yuanyi and Garp's "performance".
"Yuanyi, what do you think?"
Garp did not make up his own mind, but looked at Yuanyi beside him. At the same time, Cyrus and Yixiao also looked at Yuanyi Jiguo, waiting for Yuanyi to make up his mind.
"Just three months."
"I'll just wait on this island. Once the ship is built, I'll sail directly into the new world."
"Lieutenant General Garp, I have to ask you to help me mobilize a group of navy, and then enter the new world with me."
"As for the navy I brought from the G-ICE branch, I have to trouble you to send them to Kuzana. I'm afraid he will be very distressed if he has no ships."
"I won't go to the New World in three months. Running back and forth is a waste of time."
"During this period, Yixiao and I will just live on the island."
Yuanyi said his decision, and Garp nodded slightly when he heard the words. When the two were talking, Tom's heart was pounding and he whispered in his heart:
"The Navy is staying on the island!?"
"One stay for three months?!"
"Sure enough, I came here for the Pluto drawings!!!"
