One Piece: Beginning as the Monkey King

On the deck of the White Dragon Horse, everyone took their seats, and small robots immediately served delicious cakes, tea and drinks.

These small robots can not only be used for combat, but also excel in a variety of life professional skills. They are really essential assistants for battlefield battles and home travel.

"Super~, these robots..."

Carter Fram was very excited, his eyes flashing with dazzling light, and he was already thinking about how to open one to take a look.

"Shut up, stupid Franky!"

Ace Bago understood Carter Fram the best and stopped him immediately.

Carter Fram was obviously very unconvinced, but at this moment, outsiders were present, and he couldn't embarrass Mr. Tom. He held back for the time being and planned to go back to settle the account.

"Mr. Tom, although you have been living in the Seven Waters, you must know something about the people and things on Fishman Island. Do you know the mermaid fortune teller Shirley?"

Bardock planned to use the prophecy as a breakthrough point for the conversation.

"Shirley? I have heard Dan mention her. It is said that her predictions are very accurate. Oh, Dan is my brother. How come? Brother Bardock also knows Shirley?"

Tom just recalled it briefly and remembered Shirley.

"Charlie? I've only heard of her name but never seen her. What I really want to say is a prophecy, a true prophecy, Mr. Tom, you're going to die soon."

Bardock's words made Iceborg and Carter Fram stand up, "What? This is impossible!"

Tom was very calm, just frowned slightly, "The prophecy said that I'm going to die now?"

Bardock shook his head, "Not now, but when you complete the Sea Train, you are sentenced to death by the presiding judge. The charge is that you built a ship for the Pirate King Roger."

"Is the Sea Train completed? That's great!"

"Impossible, the presiding judge and Mr. Tom have already agreed that as long as Mr. Tom completes the Sea Train, he will be charged with building a ship for the Pirate King!"

"The presiding judge made a promise in public, it is impossible to break his promise, something else must have happened!"

The three of Tom and his apprentice had different reactions. Tom was pleased with the success of the Sea Train, Carter Fram was unbelievable, and Iceborg had already thought of an accident.

"Acebargo guessed right. Mr. Tom, the presiding judge did agree to use the sea train to offset the crime of helping Roger build the ship, but you did not agree. You exchanged that credit for another person's life. You volunteered to die!"

After hearing this, Tom was thoughtful. Acebargo asked directly, "Mr. Bardock, please tell us what happened? Why did Mr. Tom give up his life to save others? Who was that person?"

Carter Fram also said, "Yes, please tell us."

Bardock pointed his finger at Carter Fram.

Carter Fram pointed at himself, "Me? Did I kill Mr. Tom?"

"Yes, Mr. Tom exchanged your life for his merit, but it was not you who killed Mr. Tom."

Bardock's words confused the three people, but fortunately he continued, "Mr. Tom, the fact that you have the Pluto design will soon be known by the agents of the World Government."

Tom's face changed, and Bardock continued, "They asked you for it, but you didn't give it to them. So on the day of your trial, they stole the Franky Battle on the wreck island and attacked the judicial ship."

"Because everyone in the Seven Waters knows that it was Carter Fram's masterpiece, and everyone believes that he attacked the judicial ship. So in order to save Carter Fram, you gave up the only chance and sacrificed yourself."

Carter Fram's face was as pale as paper at this moment, "It turns out that it was me who did it, it's all my fault!"

"Franky, I told you a long time ago, don't study those dangerous weapons!"

Espagu grabbed Carter Fram's collar and shouted.

"I'll go back and destroy them right now!"

Carter Frame broke free from Iceborg and wanted to get off the ship to destroy the Franky Battleships. Although they were all his masterpieces, if it would kill Mr. Tom, he might as well destroy them himself.

Tom suddenly stood up and stretched out his hand to hug Carter Frame, "Frame, no matter who the ship you built hurts, even if it destroys the world, the owner who built it with his own hands must protect it.

Only the person who built it can't deny it and can't blame it. A man should face the ship he built with a loud voice!"

"But, how can Mr. Tom...

What should I do? "

Carter Fram burst into tears, like a dam bursting.

"All this hasn't happened yet, has it? This is a prophecy."

Tom comforted Carter Fram and turned to look at Bardock, "Brother Bardock, what role do you play?"

Bardock took a sip of black tea and said, "Me? There is no appearance of me in the prophecy, but I personally don't want Mr. Tom to die young. It's a pity for someone like you to die under the conspiracy of the agents. In addition, I don't want the World Government to get the Pluto design."

At this time, Ice Bago said, "Mr. Bardock, if you don't give the Pluto design to the World Government, they will always find a way to frame Mr. Tom. Even if you survive the Judgment Day, your life will still be in danger."

"Don't say it, Ice Bago, the design will never be handed over to them."

Tom said firmly, "No matter what means they have, I will take it. "

"There is a way, you just need to pretend that the World Government's agents and lackeys get the blueprints. As for the blueprints, they are of course too old and damaged, and the remaining parts are incomplete technologies.

Or maybe one of you two is a 'traitor', gets the incomplete blueprints, and gives them to the World Government in exchange for the mayor of the Seven Waters, integrates all the shipyards, and takes all the orders for the Navy's warships.

Anyway, the initiative is in your hands now, you can do whatever you want, but the only thing is that you can't let the World Government get the complete blueprints, and it's best not to give them any powerful technology.

Just in case, I hope Mr. Tom can let us prepare a copy of the Pluto blueprints. "

Bardock said in one breath, and finally made his request.

"I can't give you the blueprints, but I can give them to her as a backup."

Tom pointed to Robin on the side and said.

"Me?"

Robin asked puzzledly.

"Or it's not you, but O'Hara. The Tree of All-Knowing contains most of the world's knowledge. Maybe one day you will rebuild the Tree of All-Knowing, so it's more appropriate to give you the design. Moreover, relatively speaking, you will not easily let Pluto reappear in the world in your situation! "

Robin lowered his head at Tom's words, thinking of O'Hara's miserable situation.

"No problem, just give it to her! In fact, we already know where Pluto is, and the design is just in case. "

Bardock nodded nonchalantly.

The rest was simple. Robin successfully backed up the design of Pluto from Tom, well, in his mind.
