Tom, who was sitting behind the desk, raised his head blankly when he heard Roger's words. He seemed not to have heard clearly what Roger had just said. He picked his ears in disbelief and asked Roger:
"Say...what's wrong with you?!"
Roger saw the disbelief on Tom's face and grinned without hesitation:
"I have a terminal illness and I'm going to die soon."
"I can feel my vitality declining rapidly. I'm afraid I only have more than a year left to live."
As Roger spoke, he took another bottle of red wine from the coffee table, opened the cork, and took two sips. A little red wine flowed from the corner of Roger's mouth.
After Roger took a few sips, he put down the bottle, wiped the corners of his mouth, stood up, walked to Tom, sat down on the table, and looked at Tom's unbelievable look of shock. In turn, he comforted Tom:
"Hey! Tom, don't show such an expression when you meet old friends!"
"Be happy! This is the last time we get together!"
"Don't cry with a sad face."
Roger was in a good mood. As he spoke, he patted Tom on the shoulder, and then his eyes subconsciously fell on the drawings in front of Tom's desk.
When I saw that there was a seagull logo on the hull of the drawing, I let out a sigh, as if I had discovered some toy. I immediately became very interested and asked curiously:
"Huh?!"
"Is the ship you designed a warship?!"
"Navy warship?!"
"The Navy actually came to you to design warships?!"
When Tom heard Roger's question, he got out of the shock. He didn't answer Roger's question. Instead, he jumped up from the chair, grabbed Roger's arms with both hands, and roared:
"Hey! You guy, is this the time to care about this kind of thing?!"
"What's wrong with you?! Have you seen another doctor?"
"I know a very good doctor in the Capital of Seven Waters. Come on, I'll take you to see a doctor!"
With that said, Tom grabbed Roger's wrist and was about to go out. But Tom had only taken two steps before Roger pulled him back to the desk.
"Don't waste your efforts, Tom."
"Of course I have seen other doctors, but the quality of those people is far inferior to Kurokas."
"You remember Kurokas, right? The ship's doctor on my ship. Thanks to him over the years, I have been able to survive until now."
"Hahahahaha!"
"Now, Tom, I've already accepted this fact, so you don't have to worry about it."
"While I still have some time to live happily, let's catch up on old times."
"Oh, by the way, tell me first what is this warship you are working on now?"
"I'm quite curious. Will the Navy also ask you to design warships?!"
Roger grabbed Tom with his backhand and pushed Tom back to his seat. Then he patted the drawings on the table and asked Tom.
"."
"You guy, you really have a big heart!"
"How come a bastard like you doesn't live long?"
Tom sat on the chair and stared into Roger's eyes for a long time before finally reluctantly accepting the reality, raising his head and sighing.
Then he sat up slightly and explained to Roger: "Some time ago, a navy team came to the Capital of Seven Waters and asked me to design the drawings."
"The leader is Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, Hero Garp."
"You should be familiar with him, right?!"
Roger heard Garp, nodded, and then laughed and said: "It's that bastard! Doesn't that guy have a ship? His warships are also high-level works in the navy, so he shouldn't ask you to design warships. Bar?!"
"Tom, it's not that I look down on your skills! It's just that the Navy's skills are not weak, and they should be."
Before Roger could finish speaking, Tom waved his hand and interrupted: "It's not Lieutenant General Garp who wants a warship. He brought a young Lieutenant General from the headquarters."
"It's the lieutenant general's car."
"It seems to be called Jiguo Enichi"
"Listening to their chat, this lieutenant general named Jiguo Enichi should have been promoted not long ago."
"The Navy doesn't seem to have equipped him with warships."
"And I think this matter is very strange. Roger, you happen to be here, give me some advice. Do you think there is something wrong with the two lieutenant generals Jiguo Enichi and Garp who came to me to design warships?"
"I feel like that may be their purpose."
Tom didn't say it clearly, but Roger understood what Tom meant.
"Pluto?" Roger knew that the blueprint of Pluto was in Tom's hands. At this moment, listening to Tom's analysis, he touched his chin and said in a deep voice. After hearing Roger's words, Tom nodded solemnly.
Then he lowered his head and glanced at the drawings on the table, and said with some annoyance: "I don't know what the purpose of the navy is to find me."
"I haven't had a good rest during this period!"
"The design drawing of this warship only has a skeleton. The drawing is about to be handed over."
"I'm worried about this! It's not that I don't know how to design warships, I just feel that building a navy is like building a tomb for myself. Roger, do you understand what I'm saying?!"
Tom scratched his scalp, feeling a little sad.
"Hehehehe!"
"Don't worry, Tom, if it's those two guys, the target won't be Pluto."
Seeing Tom's sad look, Roger suddenly laughed. Tom looked at Roger inexplicably, with a puzzled look on his face.
"Well, anyway, you don't have to worry about this. They are not the kind of people who would be interested in Hades."
"Don't worry, I'm looking for you this time just to design warships."
"Did the Navy promote Jiguoyuan to Lieutenant General but not equip it with warships? Hahahaha, those guys in the Navy don't seem to want Jiguoyuan to sail freely on the sea!"
"World Government. I won't let you succeed!"
Roger said, a little light bursting out of his pupils. Although Tom didn't know why Roger was so sure that the other party's purpose was not Pluto, but Tom trusted Roger very much, and when he heard Roger say this, he felt a lot more relaxed.
"Hey, Tom, have you finished purchasing the materials to build that warship?!"
Tom didn't know why Roger suddenly asked this, and he didn't know why the other party was interested in warships. He shook his head blankly.
"Tear down the keel of our Oro Jackson and use it to build a warship that will succeed Kokuenichi!"
Seeing Tom shaking his head, Roger slammed the table, grinned, and said immediately.
Hearing this, Tom looked at Roger with a puzzled look, opened his mouth, and was speechless for a moment. Tom didn't understand why Roger suddenly made such a decision. Even if he felt that he couldn't survive, there was no need to destroy his ship! ?
Besides, there are still so many members of the Roger Pirates, why not entrust the ship to their companions, but dismantle the Oral Jackson and give the precious keel to a navy? !
You know, the keel used by the Oro Jackson is the precious Adam tree!
Why would a pirate do this to a navy? !
"Tom, my pirate group has been disbanded. If the Oro Jackson reappears on the sea, it will be the target of the navy's pursuit."
"This time I set sail, I painted the boat before sailing it out, but it was already being targeted."
"A treasure like the Adam Treasure Tree should not follow me and die with the Roger Pirates!"
"Dismantle my ship, and use whatever is useful for the warship of Jiguo Enichi!"
"That young navy man is very appealing to me!"
"He will be the one who changes the world!"
"I plan to bet the Adam tree on the new world!"
