One Piece: King of the World from White Town

It can be completely compared to the sports cars in the real world.

How can you compare with someone who drives a Ferrari with one hand when you drive a broken Jetta?

It's that simple!

Another thing is that the Don Quixote family is large and powerful, and they need cadres to travel around, so naturally each cadre is equipped with a boat.

They were just ordinary ships.

The only one that really puts its heart into it is the Flamingo.

That is Doflamingo's ship, and normally no one would touch it.

So Doflamingo can totally understand Abel's desire to buy a good ship.

I won’t think about anything else.

However, Doflamingo had no idea what kind of terrifying super battleship Abel was going to build!

"Wow, Abel, look, these people are wearing masks."

Baby-5 screamed excitedly.

The City of Seven Waters is a very distinctive place.

In addition to the complex waterways and the fact that a huge tsunami called "Aqua Lagna (Water Gods)" hits the entire city every year, a mask carnival is held on certain days, during which residents wear masks to dress themselves up.

Apparently they arrived at the right time, just in time for the annual Mask Carnival in the Seven Water City.

In addition, the sea train, which has been under construction for ten years, will be completed soon, attracting countless people to witness this great history.

So it seems particularly lively and prosperous.

According to rumors, there will be celestial dragons coming to watch the ceremony.

I just don't know whether it's true or not.

But judging from the fact that many men in black suits who kept strangers away had come to the Seven Waters City during this period, the rumors might be true.

After all, how could such an event of witnessing history be without the fun-loving Celestial Dragons?

After hanging out with Baby-5 for a while, Abel found out where Tom's studio was.

However, there were hidden CP agents everywhere nearby, which made Abel frown and think that this was troublesome.

He was still a little cautious.

Maybe the previous behavior of asking for directions has already aroused some people's vigilance.

You know, Tom's importance is self-evident, not only for the sea train that is about to be completed, but also for the construction drawings of "Pluto".

So how could the world government allow strangers to approach Tom at will?

Abel also knew that the notorious Spandam had set his sights on Tom, and would wait for the completion of the sea train before revealing his true colors and asking Tom for the Pluto blueprints.

This also indirectly led to Tom's death.

Otherwise, the merit of building the sea train can allow Tom to offset the crime of building a ship for One Piece.

"Aren't we going in?"

"It's not the right time yet. Let's go and look somewhere else."

Abel did not act rashly, but took Baby-5 to other studios.

Although Tom is the world's number one shipbuilder today, there are many other excellent shipbuilders in the Seven Waters City.

If he could get a satisfactory answer from another shipbuilder, there would be no need for him to hang himself on Tom's tree.

However, after visiting several shipbuilders in succession, Abel was not satisfied with the answers he got.

What he needed was a larger boat that was strong and sturdy enough without losing speed.

This is obviously a fallacy.

To make it strong and sturdy enough, it would require some hard and heavy wood, which would inevitably affect the speed of travel.

If you want to keep the speed fast enough, you can only choose some light materials.

It seems that you can't have both.

As a layman, Abel could only propose, based on his own memory, to build a ship with the precious tree "Adam" as the wood to see if he could achieve the effect he wanted.

Now it was the shipbuilders' turn to feel depressed.

The Adam tree is indeed one of the few most resilient trees in the world, and it can stand firm no matter how brutal the war is.

Therefore, ships built with the precious tree Adam can withstand tremendous pressure, have great toughness and are very strong.

At the same time, the texture of Baoshu Adam is not very heavy, so it will not affect the sailing speed of the ship.

Logically speaking, this really meets all of Abel's requirements.

But the problem is that using the precious tree Adam to build a ship requires very advanced shipbuilding skills, because it is too tough and ordinary shipbuilders can't even handle it.

Without absolute certainty, no one would destroy their own reputation for a little money.

No, it’s not just a matter of smashing the signboard.

After all, the person who could use the treasure tree Adam to build a ship must be no simple person. If something goes wrong, he might even lose his life.

You should know that the price of just a part of the wood of the treasure tree Adam in the black market is nearly 200 million berries!

If Abel were to build a large ship according to his idea, it would probably cost between six and one billion berries just for materials.

The specific cost should be estimated based on the drawings.

The price was so shocking that even Abel was shocked.

Finally, a shipbuilder said that if Abel could provide enough treasure trees and Adams and pay enough money, he would try to build a ship for him.

It just takes at least three years.

Abel was so angry that he almost pulled out a gun on the spot.

However, after listening to the other party's explanation, he calmed down.

There is no way, their level is just here. If we want to focus on quality, we can only spend a lot of time.

Unless Tom the shipwright takes action himself, delivery is possible in a shorter time.

Because Tom the shipwright has special shipbuilding skills, he once used the treasure tree Adam to build the Orson Jackson of One Piece.

In the entire Seven Waters City, no, it should be said that there is no shipbuilder more experienced than him in the entire world.

Well, after this circle, we finally got back to the starting point.

Abel was also speechless.

Chapter 314: Night Talk with Tom

At night, take advantage of the darkness.

Abel wrapped his entire body in the power of darkness, eliminated all aura, and began to sneak in.

Under the perception of Observation Haki, the CP agents hiding nearby were as bright as fireflies.

During the entire process, no one noticed his presence.

Tom, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly felt a terrible murderous aura and woke up from the bed abruptly.

Then I saw a man in a suit sitting on a chair not far away in the room.

Tom sat up from the bed, his face very calm, as if he had expected this day. "The sea train will be completed in a few days. Can't you wait even for these few days? Forget it, just do it."

"If you keep talking so loudly, I might actually do it."

With the help of moonlight, Abel leaned forward slightly, finally revealing his extremely handsome face.

Tom was stunned, "Aren't you an agent sent by the World Government to kill me?"

Murderous aura + black suit + this time...

No wonder Tom mistook Abel for an agent of the World Government. Otherwise, how could an outsider have the ability to pass through the layers of surveillance outside and get into his room?

"I'm here to discuss a deal with you."

Seeing that the other party really didn't seem to be an agent of the World Government, Tom didn't feel relieved, but his expression became even more serious.

Because this shows that the other party is not simple. Not only can he avoid all outside surveillance and come to him quietly, but in a sense, he does not take the World Government seriously.

Otherwise, if it were an ordinary person, even if he had the ability, he might not dare to take the risk.

The other party must have some ulterior motive, and it must be very important!

Is it because of that thing?

Tom, who had this idea in his mind, asked directly: "What deal?"

"I would like to ask you to build a ship for me."

Hearing this, Tom felt relieved, but he still shook his head. "I am a criminal now. I don't have time to help anyone build a ship before the sea train is completed. You should find someone else. There are many excellent shipbuilders here. I can recommend one or two to you."

"I have already looked for those people you mentioned, but their answers were not satisfactory to me. I want to build a ship that is as good as Pluto, and they can't do it, so I have to come to you."

Tom frowned and said in a somewhat stiff tone, "I don't have that ability either. You should ask someone else for help."

Abel was puzzled by the change in the other party's attitude, although he thought that it might be because he mentioned the word "Pluto" that made the other party suspicious of his motives.

So he said frankly: "I know that the design drawings of 'Pluto' are in your hands, but I am not interested in that kind of thing. I mentioned 'Pluto' just now just as a metaphor. It doesn't matter if you don't believe it. As long as we can reach a deal, you will naturally be able to see my sincerity later."

Tom was silent for a moment, then asked again, "Are you really not from the World Government?"

Abel didn't explain any more and just threw out a wanted poster.

Tom took it and looked at it, he was a little surprised, he didn't expect that the other party was a pirate with a bounty of 50 million berries.

And it’s not a wanted warrant that was issued recently.

You can find out about this kind of thing by just checking it out. You can't fool him even if you want to.

What surprised him was not that the reward amount was too high, but that it was a bit low.

Don't forget, he is the shipbuilder who built ships for One Piece and has seen many big shots.

"I don't know how you got the idea that I have the design for the Pluto, but I really don't have the time to build a ship for you."

"That's true. After all, when the sea train is completed, you will die." Abel nodded.

Tom frowned again, suspecting that the other party might have obtained some information that he was not aware of.

Although the World Government has always promised him that as long as the sea train is built, his merits and demerits can be offset and his crimes can be forgiven.

But who would believe that the world government can keep its promises?

Just a few random agents could assassinate him.

This is also the reason why he previously mistook Abel as an agent sent by the World Government to kill him.

Therefore, if the world government really turns against him at that time, he won't be surprised.

After thinking about it, he asked cautiously, "Why do you say that?"

"Because the World Government wants the design drawings of Pluto, we won't force you now, but just want you to focus on building the Sea Train. Once the Sea Train is built, those people will show their true colors."

"I know that you will never hand over the design drawings of Pluto even if you die. But don't forget that everyone has weaknesses, and your weaknesses are the people around you."

"Do you think that when the World Government cannot obtain the design drawings of Pluto from you, will they attack the people around you to force you to submit?"

Abel's words made Tom's face turn very ugly all of a sudden.

Because this is indeed what those people can do!

He couldn't calm down when he thought of the iceberg and the possibility that Fram and the others might be implicated by him.

"So why did you go to so much trouble to find me and tell me all this? What's your intention?"

"I told you, this is a deal. You help me build a ship, and I save your life. How about that?"

"Why should I trust you?"

Tom is not stupid at all. If this is a trap or something, he will be put in a very passive position.

"You don't need to trust me, I can 'pay' first and receive the goods later."
