The Black Duke of the Pirate

Reinhardt didn't know what Tom was really thinking, so he spoke directly and said with a smile: "I don't care what the world government wants from you. I only care about Mr. Tom, are you willing to work for me?"

"Working for you?" Tom was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Young man, I'm at the age where I should be buried. It's not worth the high price you spent on me."

"Haha, in this world, a person's value never changes because of his age." Reinhardt continued to smile, "Tom the fishman is worth all my efforts."

Tom couldn't guess what he was thinking, but looking at his serious look at this moment, it didn't look like he was joking.

"I only know how to build ships." Tom took a sip of wine and said in a deep voice. If the guy in front of him wanted to get his hands on Pluto's design drawings, he would still refuse to cooperate, even if he lost his life for it.

"Don't worry, just keep doing your old job and build me a great sea route and a sea train that connects the four seas." Reinhardt said slowly.

"That's it?"

After hearing this, Tom still didn't believe it, so he asked again in a low voice.

"I have reached an agreement with the World Government. I will personally fund the construction of a sea train between the Grand Route and the Four Seas to connect the four seas and the trade routes between the Grand Route."

At this point, Reinhardt mentioned: "This is completely a business behavior."

From Reinhardt's tone, it seems that this matter is not a joke, but the construction of the sea train is funded by individuals, which sounds very ridiculous. Except for the World Government, who in the world can provide so much funds?

Thinking of this, Tom's expression became serious: "Do you know how many Baileys it takes to build a sea train?"

"I have prepared 500 billion beli, which will be counted as the first phase of the project funds."

He didn't know the specific cost of the sea train, but based on his understanding of the prices in the pirate world, the cost of this project was definitely not low, but even if it was high, the upfront capital of 500 billion beli must be quite a lot. Of course

, he will continue to provide subsequent funds.

Tom's expression paused for a moment. He didn't expect that the young man in front of him was so determined, and he asked for 500 billion beli.

"I am not qualified to work for others now."

Tom laughed and said, "I am just an old man who is about to be executed by the world government. I probably won't be able to work for you anymore."

"Since I personally came to Judiciary Island, it means that this matter will not turn around. I hope to get your personal commitment before that." Reinhardt didn't care about what Tom said. Tom's value is not yet high.

Maximize it, so there is still enough value for you to spend more to keep him.

After hearing this, Tom was silent for a long time and did not answer.

"I want to know your identity." After a while, Tom asked. He knew nothing about the young man in front of him. Even if he agreed to work for him if he survived, if the man in front of him was a heinous man,

If you are an unethical person, you might as well be executed by the world government.

"I am from the North Sea Kingdom of Porkarlia, Reinhardt." Reinhardt was not angry at Tom's prying. On the contrary, this indicated that Tom was seriously considering this matter.

"After I have completely reached an agreement with the World Government, you can inquire about my name in Beihai through various channels. I believe that in some aspects, I more than conform to a certain moral principle that you have always followed.

, more in line with the heroic image in the minds of most civilians."

"Tsk..." Fishman Tom suddenly laughed, "I have never seen anyone praise themselves so much, thinking that they are heroes."

"If you don't understand it, you have no right to speak, so I hope Mr. Tom can understand it in the future."

"Looking at your tone, are you so sure you can save me?" Tom continued to ask.

Reinhardt shook his head: "I am not sure whether I can save you, but I think the value of your death is far lower than the value of your survival, whether it is to the world government or to you and me.

Say, it’s all like that.”

"Your crime is neither big nor small. In the final analysis, it is just building a ship for Pirate King Roger. This crime should have been offset by your achievements in building the sea train a few days ago, but

Now that you are still detained here, it is obviously not because of the shipbuilding matter." Reinhard thought for a long time, and after sorting out the thoughts in his mind, he continued: "I think there is no need for me to continue talking.

"

"There are some secrets that other than you and the World Government, there are people who know about them, but I have never been interested in this secret."

"I spent a huge price to eliminate your accusation of building a ship for Pirate King Roger, but privately, you, me, and the World Government all know that I just took out huge profits and temporarily

It just blocks the secret operation of the World Government that covets you."

After saying this series of words, Fishman Tom was shocked. The secret was the design of the ancient weapon [Pluto]. He subconsciously stood up and glanced at Reinhardt in surprise.

"What else do you know?"

"I know everything, but I can also pretend to know nothing." Reinhardt met Tom's eyes.

"Mr. Tom, there's no need to get excited." Reinhardt smiled and shook his head: "I told you, I'm not interested in any of this. What I'm interested in is your sea train manufacturing technology."

Tom stared at him for a while, then suddenly laughed again: "You kid, you are really good at making up your own mind. If you can solve this problem, I will get to know you better. If you can't solve it, forget it."

Listening to his words, Reinhard knew that there was no problem on Tom's side, but there had been no movement from Nicholas and Doflamingo's side, and it seemed that the situation had become less optimistic.

Thinking of this, Reinhardt smiled and said: "Then I will briefly tell you the plan of the sea train, and you can estimate the time limit and funds."

Later, Reinhardt briefly explained the sea train plan for the Grand Line to connect from the Upside Down Mountain to the Four Seas.

The two discussed together for a long time, and finally, after a simple calculation, Tom estimated that the project would take three years and cost more than 300 billion beli.

This distance of sea train can be said to be very short. The key point that mainly consumes time and costs a lot of money is that the sea water flows against the mountain. Such a construction environment is extremely dangerous. Because the sea water is always flowing backward, the sea train cannot be built in sea water.

It is built on the mountain next to it.
