Chapter 423 Seven Waters
Haiyuanli in 1512, the capital of Seven Waters.
The houses and buildings look a little dilapidated and dark, as if they were in a humid environment for a long time. The transport waterways coming and going even emit an unpleasant stench.
But in such a declining place, all residents' faces are filled with smiles known as hope.
"It's very dilapidated, very desolate, but full of vitality and vitality." Looking at this city that was completely inconsistent with the impression, Longinus, who had just ascended to the capital of the Seven Waters, sighed deeply.
"Sir Navy, you can see it all!" The old man who served as a guide to Longines smiled happily, "The Seven Waters Capital has been redeemed, and this ancient city has regained its vitality."
"Look at my memory, you asked me to lead the way to Tom's shipyard. You must have heard of his rumors, right?" the old man asked tentatively.
Given the identity of Longineus' Navy and Tom's experience in building a ship for One Piece, the old man obviously did not dare to have too much to do with Tom, and even the gratitude and enthusiasm that was filled at the beginning were restrained.
"Yes! He is indeed a great fishman!" Longineus said sincerely.
The old man almost couldn't believe his ears. How could such words be said from the Navy's mouth?
Is he not the navy?
It looks like his coat of justice is not a navy exclusive uniform, but a pure white loose casual outfit. Could it be that even the coat of justice is snatched?
Could it be that the pirates have set their sights on Mr. Tom and want him to help build a ship like One Piece?
The old man who consciously discovered the blind spot did not dare to expose it, but just followed Longinus's words and said, "Mr. Tom is indeed a good person, but it's a pity that good people often don't live long."
Longineus asked in surprise, "What's wrong with him, Mr. Tom?"
"Don't you know?" asked the old man. "Just yesterday morning, the World Government arrested Mr. Tom on the charge of building a ship for One Piece."
"I didn't expect this to happen."
"Then... is the warehouse under the bridge still coming?"
"Is there anyone there?"
"Mr. Tom's disciples and assistants are still there."
"Go."
Is this shifting the target to Mr. Tom's disciple... the old man sighed in his heart.
Not long after, the two of them arrived at a noisy and messy warehouse under the bridge like a garbage dump.
It is really unimaginable that the innovation that changes the world will be born in such a narrow space.
"Old man, thank you." Longinus gave 1,000 Bailey as a thank you.
"Thank you, thank you!" After getting the money, the old man quickly left with a happy look on his face.
Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!
No one responded.
Longinus knocked on the door three more times, and this time, the impatient voice finally rang again.
"Who? The door is not locked."
Longines pushed the door and entered, a strong smell of alcohol filled the air. The man wrapped in a headscarf was sitting on the floor with a decadent grasping the wine bottle.
He is the disciple of Tom, the shipbuilder, Esbagu.
"Navy?" After the confused eyes floated on Longinus, Esbago was startled first, and then relaxed dejectedly, "Mr. Tom has been taken away by you. If you are here to catch me, can you wait until I finish drinking this bottle of wine?"
"I'm not here to catch you," Longinus said, shaking his head, "instead, I came with the idea of saving Mr. Tom."
"Save Mr. Tom? Navy?" Aesbagu sarcastically said, "What are you thinking?"
Longinus didn't bother the house, so he found a place to sit down. "When I first learned about the sea train, my reaction was probably to be suspicious and disdainful."
Aesbagu had a faint mockery on his face. Didn’t those stupid citizens react like this when they first heard it?
"But when I knew that this idea was realized, I was left with only amazement and admiration. In my opinion, Mr. Tom's invention may have surpassed Dr. Baikalpunk."
Langhinus is not an exaggeration, because the sea train is indeed an invention that can change the world.
To some extent, this is something that even Baikal Punk could not do.
Esbagu's face was slightly stunned. This was the first time he had heard someone give such high praise to Mr. Tom.
Who is Bergaponk? He is a super genius who is praised by the world government as a super genius who surpasses humanity for five hundred years. Even if he admires his teacher, he will never say such unrealistic words.
Thinking of this, his eyes when he looked at Longineus became slightly gentle.
Esbagu threw away the bottle of wine in his hand, stood up staggeringly, sat in front of Longinus and said, "Although I know you're telling lies, I still thank you."
Longinus did not defend himself, but said, "Talents like Mr. Tom are wealth of all mankind, so I will definitely save him."
"Save it back? It's impossible." Esbago hugged his head in pain, "Mr. Tom was sent to the city and the people who went there could not come back alive!"
"No, if it were him..." A shocking voice came from behind Esbago, "It is indeed possible to save Mr. Tom."
"Miss Cocoro!" Esbago knew who it was without looking back, and then looked at Longinus with a striking and suspicious look. "You mean, can he bring Mr. Tom back from the Propulsion City? How is this possible, even if he is the Navy..."
"He is not an ordinary navy. He is the Navy General Aries Longinus, a man standing in the entire naval system!" said the disabled Miss Mermaid.
"Admiral!" Aesbagu was so surprised that he couldn't stop talking. Even if he didn't pay attention to current affairs, he would certainly know the influence of the Navy.
That is the absolute top management that can speak at the Navy headquarters and even the world government.
The CP5 commander who captured Mr. Tom was not even a big deal compared to him.
If the Navy General can come forward...
Thinking of this, Esbagu asked with a flushed complexion and rapid breathing, "Are you really a general of the Navy? No, I want to ask, are you really willing to rescue Mr. Tom?"
Cocolo also said, "Mr. Langinus, although Mr. Tom built a ship for One Piece, he had never done anything bad. He just did his job as a boatmaker."
"I said, I came for this." Longinus smiled softly, "Although it was a little late, it was not a big problem. Advance City Director is my friend. I will ask him to take good care of Mr. Tom before the charge is removed."
Aesbagu and Kokoro breathed suffocated. Is this the power of the big man?
Even the Director of Propulsion City was his friend, and a phone call would give Mr. Tom preferential treatment in that legendary hell.
It's really amazing!
Just then, a commotion came from outside the door.
