I was born to be a king

Shanks led Noah and the others to a place that looked like a waste ship recycling site. There were all kinds of broken ships here, with steel bars, iron bars, and wooden boards thrown everywhere.

Liya was a little speechless. She pointed down with a trembling hand and asked Shanks,"Is this where the great shipwright you said is staying?"

Shanks seemed to be unaware and nodded with a smile,"Ah, he's over there."

Liya had no hope for this and sighed deeply.

On the other hand, Noah said with interest,"Then let's go down."

Many great talents are born in seemingly inconspicuous or even shabby places, so Noah was not disappointed, but more interested.

If Shanks led him to a large shipyard, he might not be so curious.

Shanks jumped down directly and shouted,"Mr. Tom, are you there?"

A fishman with yellow skin, horns, wearing a blue shirt and leather shoes came out of the house, looked at the shore in confusion, and saw that it was Shanks. He immediately laughed and shouted:

"I thought I heard it wrong, it turned out to be Shanks!"

He walked over enthusiastically and gave Shanks a big hug.

Shanks didn't care and hugged him tightly as well.

The two hugged for a while, and after they separated, Tom smiled and said,"What? Going to the New World again?"

Shanks nodded, then shook his head and said,"I plan to send my daughter to a friend in the New World to study music."

As he spoke, Shanks saw Uta talking to Michelle and others not far away, and smiled gently,"Her talent should not be buried. Punch also thinks Uta's talent is very good, even much better than his."

Tom looked at Uta and smiled,"Oh, that cute little girl, she has grown so big in the blink of an eye, very good."

Shanks nodded and said,"I plan to go to the New World to compete for territory soon. I don't want to take her with me. After all, you know, even Whitebeard can't guarantee that every one of his crew members will not die."

Tom nodded solemnly and said,"That's true."

Then Tom looked at Shanks' face, patted his back and said with a smile:"It seems that Shanks has become a man now!"

Shanks scratched the back of his head embarrassedly, then said seriously:"This is the responsibility of a father."

Tom raised his arm, looking like he was going to do a big thing, and said:"Then I'll help you check the boat so that you can sail more safely and steadily!"

Shanks smiled and nodded and said:"Thank you so much!"

"but……"

Shanks looked at Tom hesitantly and said,"I wonder if Mr. Tom is still accepting orders for ships."

Tom was a little surprised, but when he saw a group of women and a noble-looking boy, he immediately understood and said,"Are they your friends?"

Shanks smiled and said,"Yes, it seems that the keel of their ship has been damaged, so they want to buy a new one."

Tom looked as if he understood it, turned around and smiled and was about to agree,"Of course not."……"

"No!"

Just as Tom was about to agree to Shanks' request, a young man with blue-purple hair and dark thin lips ran out to stop him.

"Mr. Tom, you forgot! You are still a criminal, what if those people use this matter to make trouble?"

Although the boy's words were a bit harsh, and he even looked at Shanks and others with some hostility, his words were all for Tom.

Shanks scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said,"In this case, let's just forget it."

Tom waved his hand and said,"It's okay, Icebag, I'm not building a ship for Shanks."

Icebag shouted,"That won't work either! I've seen the bounty on that man! [Legendary Hunter] Noah, with a bounty of 500 million berries, killed the legendary pirate Golden Lion Shiki some time ago!"

Icebag even took out Noah's bounty.

When Tom saw it, he smiled and said to Noah,"I didn't expect that the little brother is still a resounding man, well done! When the Golden Lion guy was active, I don't know how many people were displaced!"

"Don't worry! I'll take care of your ship!"

Icebag couldn't help but get anxious after hearing this, and chose to find another way, shouting:"Mr. Tom, the time for the sea train is approaching, how can we have time to build a ship for them."

But Tom was unmoved, and smiled and said:"Don't worry, Icebag, there are only some final work left for the sea train, and it won't delay the project."

Tom said that it would take no more than a month to build a ship, and two months at most.

"It is my great honor to build a ship for such a man!"

Ice Pagoda was completely numb.

Even Noah and Shanks didn't understand why Tom was so optimistic about them (Noah)

"Also, I never think of myself as a criminal. I am honored to build a ship for a man like Roger!"

Tom smiled and looked at Icebagger seriously.

Icebagger and Franky have mastered their skills, but they are still not sure about the belief in the ship. They don't understand the meaning of the ship, nor do they understand the meaning and value of the ship to the shipbuilder. Icebagger seemed to be touched by something. Seeing the determination in Tom's eyes, he knew that he could not stop Tom. He could only sigh in vain:"Okay."

Franky came over at some point. When he heard that someone was going to build a ship, he immediately became interested and said,"Want to build a ship? Do you need my help in designing the weapons on the ship?"

"I have built many works!"

As if he had found an outlet to vent his emotions, Icebag grabbed Franky's face and said angrily:"I told you not to build this kind of ship, it will implicate Mr. Tom!"

"Asshole, what does it have to do with you!"

……

""Hahahaha!"

Tom found the scene of the two people fighting each other very harmonious and interesting, and couldn't help laughing.

Noah heard what Espagu said, walked over and said,"I heard that you are now threatened by the people of the World Government to build a sea train?"

Tom shook his head and said firmly,"No! The sea train is what I want to complete for a long time. I believe that the sea train will definitely inject new hope and endless vitality into this island!"

Tom's eyes seemed to shine with stars when he said this.

Noah was stunned for a moment and said,"Really? You, a fishman, actually care so much about the people on this island."

Noah felt that Tom stayed for the talents of this island. Otherwise, relying on the advantages of the fishman, he would just jump into the sea. Who can judge him?

Tom laughed and said,"There is no way. I have been on this island for a long time, more than the time I spent on Fishman Island. This island is my second home! I can't let it pass away in silence."

"So that's it……"

Noah nodded, turned his head and said:"Aisi Bagu, right!"

"Hmm?"

Icebagger was arguing with Franky, and looked over when he heard Noah's voice.

Noah continued:"I need Mr. Tom to build a boat for me, but I will also give compensation, Sister Leah!"

Leah nodded, took out a Den Den Mushi and a piece of paper, and handed them to Icebagger.

Icebagger took the Den Den Mushi and the note.

Noah said:"This is my number. If you encounter something that you can't solve one day, just call me. No matter where I am, I will do my best to help you solve the problem."

"As for the boat, we will come and drive it away after you build it. If anyone talks about it, you can say that I stole it."

Espagu nodded blankly. Although he didn't understand how strong Noah was, nor how strong the Golden Lion was, they should be very powerful, otherwise the Golden Lion would not be called a legend.

Tom laughed and said,"Thank you so much, little brother!"

Tom did not stop him, because he understood the strength of the Golden Lion. This favor was undoubtedly a powerful amulet for his apprentice.

The most important thing was that he could then safely hand over the design of the ancient weapon Pluto to Iceberg.

Tom had long known that the ridiculous charge of the World Government was a cover-up, and they had long suspected that he had the design of the ancient weapon.

It was just that they were not sure, and their greed for the design had kept Tom alive until now.

Otherwise, according to the World Government's temperament, Tom would have been killed long ago. On the one hand, they were afraid that they would not be able to find the design, and on the other hand, they were afraid that the design would fall into the hands of others.

That was why Tom was not worried about building a ship for Noah. He had already prepared to die, and the people of the World Government would never let him go.

No matter what, he would never let the design fall into the hands of the World Government!

In fact, if he had not cherished Pluto, the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancients, he would have destroyed it himself long ago.
