In the first half of the Great Way, even if there are tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of islands in this sea area, one of the islands has a sense of existence enough to rank in the top five.

This is a natural wilderness that is almost impossible to see. It shows the greatness and magnificence of artificiality everywhere, but it does not have much advanced technology. The stone houses on the streets reveal an ancient atmosphere everywhere.

Rivers, bridges and docks are the main styles of this marine city. The marble gray, the waterway blue and the town yellow together form an extremely beautiful oil painting.

The dense waterways flow between the cities, and horses with fish fins looked like fish fins. The creatures named "Blu" carried the people and goods on their backs leisurely and leisurely shuttled through the streets and alleys.

Since there are seven large docks on the island, it is also called the "Seven Waters Capital" by the world.

It is the island recognized by the world that has the most and most outstanding shipbuilders!

Originally, the atmosphere on the island was harmonious, lively, full of laughter and joy. Although the boatmen were sweating profusely every day, everyone was smiling.

But since One Piece King Roger was publicly executed on January 1st, the number of pirates coming to the island has gradually increased with the strange big treasure rumors.

These pirates who do not take the laws and rules seriously rely on their weapons and their own force, often choose to refuse payment after receiving a new ship, which triggers conflicts with the shipmasters again and again.

The dock that cannot receive money gradually cannot afford the wages of shipmakers, nor can it buy shipbuilding materials from outside the island. In addition, the increasing number of pirates, the dangerous maritime trade, which is already due to the complex and changing climate, is even worse.

For a moment, the clouds of sorrow began to permeate the sky above the water capital at a speed visible to the naked eye...

【Warlalala】

I saw a large group of seagulls playing by the sea suddenly received some disturbance and flew into the blue sky like a white cloud.

The residents who were fishing nearby heard the movement and looked up, their eyes suddenly became round.

They saw a ship, a large ship that was visually 40 high and about 150 meters wide, with a bow wrapped in a layer of blue-bottomed and gold-patterned armor.

Some older people immediately recalled the warships of the Navy headquarters because those existences that can be called "war monsters" come from their water capital.

"Look! That's the symbol of the world government!"

"It's the government's judicial ship!"

The appearance of this giant ship made the water capital noisy for a while, especially when a group of naval soldiers holding muskets escorted Tom, the fishman with his arms bound in public, which aroused many people's exclamations.

This tall fishman, who is nearly three meters tall, is a very famous shipbuilder on this island.

However, when the onlookers heard that Tom was arrested for building a ship for One Piece Roger, a considerable number of people thought this was not surprising.

After all, Roger and his group caused a lot of trouble to the whole world in the past ten years, especially the fact that they destroyed a kingdom for their partners, which is well known.

It seems that there is nothing wrong with building a ship for such a vicious person who says he is guilty...

However, the development of the matter exceeded everyone's expectations. Tom, who was originally going to be taken to the Judicial Island to execute the death penalty, obtained a ten-year suspended judgment from the judge for proposing to build a "sea train" to connect various islands including the Judicial Island and the Water Capital.

At the same time, it also received support and cheers from a group of residents, and everyone hoped that Tom could save the Seven Waters Capital.

"Uh, hahaha, survive!"

As soon as he got home, Mr. Tom laughed loudly and even burst into tears, which showed how happy he was.

But perhaps only he himself knew that this was happy because he could continue to study the ‘sea train’, not just for his life.

"What's so funny about this? Now whenever I think of that day, I feel scared and sweating." The mermaid Cocolo, now the secretary of Tom's studio, looked at the other person with her slender waist with her slender waist helplessly.

"But then again, if all this goes well, then they can forget about Roger..."

【Dong,Dong,Dong】

At this moment, the door of the studio was gently knocked. Sitting at the iceberg at the dining table, the two teenagers of Franky and the sumo wrestling frog named "Yokizuna" looked at each other.

Kokoro walked over and opened the door and found five men wearing black suits and leather boots standing outside. One of them stood in front of him first, while the others were guarding both sides.

The former can see where these people are from at a glance.

"People from the World Government?" Cocolo frowned and asked worriedly: "Isn't the verdict about Mr. Tom confirmed? What else do you want?"

Inside the house, Frank, the iceberg, and "Yokizuna" had already stood up, especially Frank's expression of anger, but was immediately blocked by Tom who walked forward.

"I'm disturbing. We are not a member of the Justice Island, but a representative of the Executive Department. My name is Colson, and I am a senior director." The leader of the black man smiled politely.

“Administrative Department?”

Tom and others were all confused. To be honest, I had never heard of it.

"The adults of the world government are very concerned about and attach great importance to the relevant research on the 'maritime train', so our administration will do our best to assist you in your work."

"What can you help me?" Tom asked with a happy smile, not seemingly minding.

However, the iceberg behind him suspected that this was actually surveillance, but he was rational and did not speak out, and at the same time stopped the frizzy Frank from doing things randomly.

“We won’t interfere in your research, but we will improve your research environment.”

"For example, the various materials required for the major docks in the Water Capital will be provided by our administrative department at a normal market price, and the navy will be responsible for escorting it to ensure that the island's shipbuilding business will not be affected too much."

"There will be another thousand naval forces temporarily stationed here to ensure that Shuizhi will no longer be harassed by pirates and provide alert services for your research."

When they heard this, everyone was shocked. Is the world government so kind?

Tom was even more stunned, but when he realized it, he burst into laughter generously.

"Uh, hahaha, this is really a big help. In this way, there is no need to worry about the lives of the residents on the island. I am here to thank you for everyone, thank the World Government!"

At this moment, his favorability for the world government has greatly increased, even though he was sentenced to a ten-year reprieve by a judge on the Judicial Island.

"At the same time, our administrative department will provide all the materials you need in the process of studying the 'sea train', including labor and scientific researchers."

"Including the bad environment of this waste ship island, we will build an exclusive manufacturing plant for the ‘sea train’ and provide a studio with the world’s most cutting-edge equipment. There will be three meals a day, and we will also hire professional chefs to take charge of it."

Mr. Tom and others fell silent because they didn't know what to say. They were really too thoughtful, and this was simply treating them as nobles!

"I think these should have a price, or are there any restrictions?" the young iceberg asked softly.

Colson nodded.

"The materials provided for major shipyards will be full in the first year, but starting from the second year, the supply will be reduced by 10% every year. That is to say, if the project of the 'sea train' is not completed within ten years, then only 10% of the shipbuilding materials will be provided on the island."
