One Piece: Transform into the Eight Great Demons!

Lindsay's thoughts drifted into the distance, and various speculations popped up in her mind.

Crocodile, on the other hand, was listening carefully.

"Sea train?"

He had heard of this name from other channels before.

However, due to the obstruction of the World Government, this information is extremely vague, like a vague rumor, and cannot be traced at all.

"So, what happened in the Capital of Seven Waters?"

"..."

…

That is a past event.

This was about nine years ago.

Although the Seven Rivers Capital at that time was far less depressed than it is now, the impact of many hidden dangers was gradually becoming apparent.

The water level is rising year by year, pirates are affecting trade, business is becoming increasingly deserted, and there are constant fights in major shipyards...

And in such a harsh environment, there is still a small-scale shipyard working hard to maintain daily operations.

It's called: Tom's Studio!

The general manager is Tom, the King Kong puffer fish man;

The remaining members are: Apprentice Bingshan, Apprentice Katie Frame, Pet Frog Henggang, and Beautiful Secretary Cocoro.

They used the warehouse under the bridge of the Seven Waters Capital as their base to carry out shipyard work.

…

by the way.

Among them, "Carty Frame" will be the future shipwright of the Straw Hat Pirates - [Iron Man] Franky.

…

Busy but peaceful days passed like this day by day.

But the arrival of a government judicial ship broke everything.

It turns out that the fishman Tom was the shipwright who built the ship for Roger [One Piece] - the Euro Jackson!

After [One Piece] was executed by the World Government, officials from various places also began to take action to eliminate all "lawless elements" involved.

After going back and forth, it was natural that Tom was found.

Finally, the judge on the judicial ship made a verdict:

Tom was sentenced to death for the crime of "building a ship for [One Piece]"!

Faced with such a verdict, Tom did not feel angry or desperate, he just spoke calmly.

Telling - hope.

…

"Right now, I am conceiving a steam train that can travel on the sea!"

"The reason why the current Seven Rivers City is deserted is because of inconvenient transportation!"

"The reason why people on the island are distracted is because they are afraid that the island will sink..."

"..."

"Therefore, once the sea train is opened, it will definitely become the savior of the Seven Waters City!"

These words caught the judge's attention.

Tom continued to explain:

"The sea train is a 'ship' that travels between islands, emitting smoke and running on sea tracks!"

"Whether it is passengers, cargo, or the ship itself, it will not be affected by the weather..."

“By then, everyone will be able to travel freely on the sea!”

"..."

As soon as he finished speaking, doubts started to sound.

How to deal with harsh climate?

How to avoid attacks by Neptunes?

"..."

"There is no need to fix the track at sea. You only need to float slightly below the sea surface to completely avoid the damage of waves!"

"The sea train is like a rope, but it uses the track as a road sign. It doesn't even need to record the pointer!"

"As for the Neptune type..."

"I'm thinking about using the friction between the wheels and the track to make a noise that's annoying to fish."

"In this way, we can avoid the approach of the Neptune type!"

"..."

It is obviously the court that sentenced Tom to death, but Tom is in it, but he is talking about "the future".

“Connecting the three islands of St. Poplar, Pucci, and St. Pruitt.”

"After being connected, trade can be carried out between the islands to achieve rapid economic development!"

"The design drawings are almost completed."

"This is not a simple project that ordinary shipwrights can complete!"

"..."

Hearing this, the judge even asked: "Can we also go to Enies Judicial Island?"

Tom said: "Okay!"

"When this technology is completed, we will be able to cross the ocean!"

"Exchanges between islands in the world will enter a new era!"

"Sea train——is the hope of the Seven Rivers City!"

"..."

The huge judicial ship fell into a long silence due to the genius-level design idea of ​​Tom the fishman.

After a long time, the judge asked: "How many years will it take to complete all this?"

Tom replied: "Ten years!"

thus--

Tom got a ten-year reprieve as he worked on the Sea Train!

…

…

The detailed description ends here.

After saying this, the intelligence dealer took a sip of wine and couldn't hide the pride on his face.

As a native of the Seven Waters Capital, the information dealer still loves this city even though he is engaged in work in the underground world.

"It is now the year 1507 of the Hainan calendar. Nine years have passed since Tom was tried..."

The information dealer rolled his eyes, looked at Crocodile, and grinned:

"The sea train that changed the world will be completed soon!"

"This city needs hope."

"So, a lot of people are excited about it."

"but--"

The information dealer changed the topic, "An inexplicable rumor spread like wildfire in the underground world."

"Some people say that the key to the success of the sea train lies in the 'train engine'."

"The reference prototype of the train engine is the legendary [ancient weapon] - Hades!"

despair! despair!

The information dealer clicked on the table.

"Thus, as the Sea Train nears completion, many people in the underground world have their eyes on the train's engine."

"——If you want the freshest information, this is the only one."

"..."

Hearing this, Lindsay and Crocodile nodded one after another.

Especially Crocodile, he has basically confirmed the accuracy of the "Pluto" information!

"So the next focus is on the fish-man shipwright?"

Crocodile narrowed his eyes slightly.

Turning his head slightly, he asked Alvin Lindsay on the side.

"Primitive man, what are you going to do?"

"I suggest--"

Lindsay stretched out her hand and said calmly: "Go directly to Tom's studio and ask for the truth of the matter."

"..."

As soon as these words came out, Crocodile was speechless.

On the other hand, Alvin Lindsay has his own complete logical chain.

"After all, Tom is the one who built Roger's ship, and he also proposed the idea of ​​a sea train. Maybe he is very open-minded?"

"Tsk tsk..."

Crocodile shook his head repeatedly and said with a sinister smile:

"It is very possible that he has information about 'Pluto', but even though he was sentenced to death, he insisted on keeping the secret and lived for nine more years."

"Such a person can never be a simple shipwright!"

"If you just ask directly, you probably won't know anything..."

"..."

After finishing his words, Crocodile looked to his side.

I saw Alvin Lindsay and the intelligence dealer putting on contemptuous faces at the same time.

The four index fingers pointed downward at the same time, and a disdainful sound was made from his mouth.

"Uu~~~!!"

The two of them pointed to the ground at the same time.

The information dealer said helplessly: "[Sand Crocodile], you are too gloomy. The world in your eyes is gray, right? Can you be more sunny?"

Alvin Lindsay turned around and educated Uta and Robin.

"You guys, remember, people with a dark mentality see everything as dark."

Crocodile: "..."

Crocodile: "Hey!"

…

After all the fuss, the chaos was finally over.

Alvin Lindsay and the intelligence dealer became good friends, but Crocodile only felt numb.

But there is a saying that the primitive people’s suggestions are not unreasonable.

Today's Seven Rivers City is extremely depressed, and there are no clues to be investigated secretly.

Rather than dilly-dallying and missing out on opportunities, it’s better to get straight to the point!

After some thought, everyone finally decided to go directly to Tom's studio to find out.

As they were leaving, the intelligence dealer suddenly stopped everyone.

"Four of you, please be patient with this city!"

The information dealer held the wine bottle and raised it to everyone.

After all, he was a native of the Seven Waters Capital and did not want to see his city perish.

He likes this city.

"The sea train is the 'hope' of the Seven Rivers City!"

"Many people in the underground world are now plotting against it..."

Having been hanging around in the underground world for many years, the information dealer can clearly feel that what the [Sand Crocodiles] pursue is obviously different from other pirates.

More distant, more incredible, more bizarre, and more terrifying...

"In short, I'm just a businessman, and this is just a business."

The intelligence dealer leaned back on his chair, looked at the people's leaving figures, and smiled secretly:

"Hey, I hope I won't lose money!"
