Chapter 118 The Capital of Seven Waters
After waving goodbye and smiling, I left Alabasta.
Adrian spent the rest of the month continuing to navigate the Paradise stage.
It was late October in the year 1499 of the Haiyuan calendar.
The capital of seven waters.
This giant city named "Water City" is one of the rare cities and islands on the sea. It is dotted with quite complicated waterways. In addition to transportation on the ground and water, there are also waterways extending from high places. of countless uniform and symmetrical water channels.
The unique and beautiful geography and culture have made this small island city known as the most famous "Ship City" on the sea.
According to ancient legend, an invincible battleship named "Pluto" was built by shipbuilders in the city of Seven Waters eight hundred years ago.
In the past ten years, the Seven Rivers Capital has also become world-famous because of a shipbuilding company.
[Tom Shipbuilding Company].
It belongs to the legendary shipbuilder "Fishman Tom". At the same time, he is also the legendary shipwright who built the pirate king's ship "Auro Jackson" for the pirate king Goldo Roger!
It's just that in the past half year, life in the Capital of Seven Waters has not been wonderful.
Since the pirate king Goldo Roger was publicly executed by the Navy and the World Government, his words before his death ushered in the era of great pirates where all heroes came together, and the piracy rampage during the Grand Line phase became more and more rampant.
Due to the unique geographical location of the Seven Waters City, this ocean water city is hit by a huge tsunami called 'Aqua Ragna' almost every year, and it does not have rich wood and steel resources.
As a world-famous ship capital, most of the time, the Seven Rivers Capital could only rely on purchasing resources from other islands to continue to maintain the prosperity of its shipbuilding industry.
In the past half year, stimulated by the era of great pirates, there has been bad news almost every day about several more pirates plundering merchant ships transporting steel and wood on the sea.
The lack of external resources has prompted the internal struggles in the Seven Waters Capital to become increasingly fierce.
Shipbuilding companies, large and small, do not hesitate to fight directly in order to compete for customers.
As the most famous legendary shipbuilder in the Seven Waters City, "Fishman Tom" is being held accountable by the World Government's secret service for building ships for the Pirate King Goldo Roger.
There are even rumors that Tom the Boatwright may even be sentenced to death for this!
Under internal and external strife, this famous ship city is likely to become an isolated island submerged by the sea.
"A very dilapidated and deserted city..."
Looking at this ocean city that was completely different from his impression, Adrian, who had just arrived at the Capital of Seven Waters, couldn't help but sigh deeply.
There is a garbage disposal plant under the bridge on the northeast coast of the Seven Waters City.
For a hundred years, people in the Seven Waters Capital have piled the wreckage of abandoned ships here, forming a huge mountain of wreckage.
For some time, this mountain of shipwrecks has become the main material collection place for Tom’s studio. They also prefer to call this mountain of shipwrecks the “warehouse under the bridge”.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The orderly knocking on the door did not receive the response it deserved.
Adrian knocked on the door three more times, and this time, a weak young voice finally sounded.
"Who is outside? The door is unlocked, just come in..."
Adrian pushed the door open and walked in. What hit him was an extremely complex smell, strong alcohol, rotten food, fishy fish, sour sweat...
Just the description in words makes people shudder.
The strong irritation of this smell even stimulates the ghost body's physical immunity properties!
At this moment, lying in the center of the room was a young man with a black turban on his head. He was clutching the wine bottle in despair and sitting on the dirty floor.
This young-looking guy is none other than Iceberg, the disciple of the legendary shipbuilder Tom the Fishman.
"Stranger?" Bingshan's confused eyes drifted to Adrian, "Are you here to build or repair ships? But it doesn't matter. Mr. Tom has been captured by the World Government, and the business of Tom's studio has been completely stopped. Stop it!”
Bingshan almost yelled the last sentence at the top of his lungs, and it was completely possible to see the intense dissatisfaction and resentment stagnating in his heart at this time!
"Is this the attitude of the legendary Tom Studio towards its customers?" Adrian shook his head and said, "If I had known this, I should have found another shipbuilding company."
The apologetic look on Bingshan's face flashed away, and then turned nonchalant.
At this time, he was not the "Iceberg Mayor" who later suffered many hardships. He was just a young man who was angry because his teacher was arrested by the World Government.
"It doesn't matter..."
Bingshan raised the wine bottle in his hand, intending to take a sip of wine into his mouth, but found that the bottle had been empty for some time, and a few scattered drops of wine fell on his dry and cracked lips.
"Mr. Tom has been captured. Is it necessary to keep Tom's Studio?"
Adrian said: "I don't think that the legendary shipwright who is unparalleled in the world will die at this time. His true [mission] has not been completely completed!"
What is Tom the Fishman's true mission?
One Piece ship "Auro Jackson"?
Of course not!
Invincible battleship "Pluto" design drawings?
Quite a difference!
The real contribution of Fishman Tom is the [Sea Train] that connects the Seven Islands of Water with other surrounding islands!
Whether in a symbolic or practical sense, the [Sea Train], which can cross ocean barriers and connect islands together, is definitely no less important than the ancient weapon [Pluto]! And it goes beyond that!
Even in Adrian's opinion, the only thing in the pirate world that can be compared with [Sea Train] is [Ark Proverbs] that can send people to the moon!
One connects to the sea, and the other spans space!
It is completely an epoch-making great product!
"I don't think Mr. Tom will die either. His grand idea has not yet been realized..."
A complicated voice came from behind Bingshan, and along with it appeared a mermaid lady who had begun to undergo a terrifying transformation.
"Miss Cocoro!" Bingshan could tell who was speaking without looking back, "Didn't you give up too?"
Cocoro...Miss?
If I remember correctly, Granny Cocoluo should be almost fifty years old this year, right? !
No matter how beautiful the fish-man lady was when she was young, once she passes a certain age, she will become very eye-catching!
More importantly, my Coconut doesn’t look like that!
Adrian almost put on a painful mask called NCY...(End of Chapter)
