One Piece: God Killer

"The waters of Wano are very windy and dangerous, and now this country is facing a serious food crisis. I am afraid that it will need to import food from overseas for a long time. I accidentally heard that you have a sea train plan, and I thought about whether it could be done in Wano. Such trains are also being built in the waters near China..."

"I see, that's what it's all about."

After understanding the cause and effect, Tom felt much better about Profic, and he also lowered some of his vigilance. After all, he is willing to help Fish-Man Island and wants to help Wano solve the food problem by building a sea train. He doesn't look like a bad guy in any way.

But there was nothing Tom could do to help.

"I'm really sorry, the sea train project in the Seven Waters Capital has not been completed yet, so it is not convenient for me to leave here."

It is inconvenient to leave, which has two meanings. In addition to the fact that the project has not yet been completed, the sin of building the ship for Pirate King Roger has not yet been "atoneed", and he is still guilty. If he leaves rashly, he may be regarded as absconding in fear of crime.

Gao Shifu asked: "Such a large project must not be a simple matter, right? How long will it take to complete?"

"Three years!" Tom answered. "Just three more years and I can complete all the projects I envision."

"Then do you want to shorten this time?" Profik looked around, "I think there are only you and two apprentices here, and there must be not enough manpower. The craftsmen of Wano are extremely good at forging. If I start from there, While sending some people to help you with your work, the sea train will surely be completed in advance."

Tom was stunned. Since he was pronounced "guilty", he was forced to move to Hulk Island to live with no one around him except himself and his two apprentices. The bold plan of the sea train has been questioned again. Many people think that it is just a cover for his survival.

This was the first time he met someone who was willing to believe and help him.

Although I don’t know what the level of craftsmen in Wano is, as long as there are people... maybe the three-year construction period can be completed in one year or even half a year?

"Master," Frame said sincerely, "Great, so you can get rid of the crime as soon as possible!"

Bingshan on the side grabbed his junior brother and the two struggled together.

"Bingshan, Franky, stop making trouble," Tom stopped the two disciples from making a fuss, "Mr. Profic, I really deserve your kindness. I am a guilty person..."

Profik already knew that Tom wanted to shirk the refusal, so he interrupted Tom in advance: "No, it's me who should feel embarrassed. These Wano craftsmen are not just helping, they will get help from you." Learn the construction technology of sea trains here, so that you don’t have to go to Wano to work. In the future, the territories under my command will be connected by sea trains as much as possible. I hope you don’t mind..."

"That's it," Tom nodded. The tauren-man had something in his mind - completing the project ahead of schedule was a favor to the Capital of Seven Waters, enough to invite him to go to Wano Country to help; but at the same time, it was also a favor to himself. The benefits of "freedom" and "redemption" are compensated by the technology of the sea train.

Although it could not match the goodwill that Profic showed towards Fish-Man Island and himself, it still made him feel a little more at ease.

"I welcome them anytime!"

Profik had different ideas. Technology is an extremely valuable thing at all times. Even in a world like One Piece where personal force is respected, technology is the ability that can completely change the times. But now, he has to send craftsmen from the country of Wano to learn Master Tom's housekeeping skills. He is really sorry...

It seems that I have to help Tom in the future as compensation.

The few people then had a simple meal in Tom's studio. Minister Zuo and Tom chatted about the situation on Fish-Man Island, while Profik discussed the issue of shipbuilding with Tom.

"Oh, I didn't expect Princess Otohime's work to go so smoothly..." Tom laughed, but then put on a serious expression, "But not every land is so friendly to fish people."

He knew that Princess Otohime wanted to coexist with humans, but as a fish-man living in the "human world", Tom had a better understanding of humans and was more realistic. He felt that if the murlocs wanted to move to land, they would have to investigate carefully and find a place that was friendly to murlocs.

"Mr. Tom, I want to develop the shipbuilding industry in Wano Country, and I have some questions to ask you." Profik took out several drawings, which he drew based on his experience in his previous life, "I want to Do you think it is possible to build such a ship?"

Tom took the drawings and saw schematic diagrams of various large ships. Profik had never studied drawing, and the drawings he produced were not professional. But Tom was good enough to see what Profik was up to.

Tom's brows furrowed. The whimsical ideas of this King Shichibukai were indeed extraordinary. Large cruise ships, super cargo ships, huge battleships... each of them is a difficult idea, and it is very difficult to build. Some even reminded him of some designs on the "Pluto" design drawings.

In addition to the fancy designs and various peculiar functions of these ships, the most prominent and common feature is that most of the ships are made of metal.

Such a ship would definitely have a huge impact on the shipbuilding industry in the pirate world. After all, the vast majority of ships in this world are made of wood. Even the best ship built by Tom, the Pirate King Roger's ship, the Al Jacksons, is only made of Adam's Treasure Tree. Although the Adam's Tree is as hard as steel, it is still wood after all.

The navy's warships look rather like armored warships, but from the comparable cleaning of the warship decks, it can be seen that the warships are covered with wooden boards. After Profik's on-site inspection at the Navy Headquarters, he came to the conclusion that naval warships are still "wooden ships", but they are just wrapped with a layer of iron.

Only those very special ships will use materials other than wood as the main body. For example, Tezzolo's "Golden City" is made of gold.

After looking at it carefully for a while, Tom said: "It's not technically impossible, but the difficulty and cost are almost astronomical."

He took it a step further, and with his technology, the time it took to build a "battleship" that was not too big could be calculated in "years".
