One Piece: The system is only activated after leaving the Navy.
Chapter 48 Hades
The next morning, as sunlight shone on the calm sea, a new day of training began aboard the Longteng.
After a night's rest, Yamato listened intently to every word of Luo Tian's instruction and trained diligently.
Her firm gaze and focused expression made Luo Tian, who was observing from the side, feel very gratified.
Before long, the ship gradually approached its destination—Water Seven.
This former shipbuilding mecca has once again become prosperous thanks to the opening of the sea train. The city sits on the azure sea, with tall buildings arranged in a staggered pattern, and bustling docks teeming with people.
Dan skillfully maneuvered the boat slowly into the harbor and brought it to a steady stop.
Meanwhile, a group of CP9 members lurking in the corners of the city had already secretly reported this situation to their superiors.
Although these CP9 members were unaware of the Dan on Luo Tian's ship and that his true purpose in coming to Water Seven was to obtain Hades' blueprints, the mere presence of Luo Tian's name was enough to instill vigilance and unease in them.
Meanwhile, the high-ranking officials at the Navy Headquarters learned of Luo Tian and his group's arrival immediately.
Faced with this figure who had once given the entire navy a major headache, everyone fell into deep thought.
After some discussion, everyone decided to adopt a wait-and-see attitude for the time being and not to carry out the arrest operation immediately.
After all, to successfully capture Luo Tian, who possesses bizarre abilities related to time and space, it would now require at least three general-level combatants.
Otherwise, the slightest carelessness could not only lead to mission failure but also cause huge losses.
At this moment, Luo Tian was methodically arranging everyone's free time.
He called softly to Dan: "Dan, come, come with me."
He then turned to Anna and Angie and instructed them, "Anna, Angie, you two keep an eye on Yamato."
Although the two little guys are still young, they are already quite reliable. Whether in their normal form or in their Sulong form, they possess considerable combat power.
In particular, because the two are twin sisters, they have a special telepathic connection, which allows them to exert extraordinary strength when fighting side by side.
After saying this, Luo Tian looked at Tesoro beside him and said with a smile, "Tesoro, you can also go into the city and wander around freely."
And so, everyone began their own activity journey according to Luo Tian's arrangements.
Luo Tian, carrying Dan, hurried towards Tom's shipbuilding company.
He arrived at his destination shortly afterward.
Upon entering the gate, one finds a spacious and bright studio where Tom is chatting happily with Kokoro, while Franky, who has not yet undergone any modifications, stands to the side.
When the three of them looked up at the sound of footsteps, they saw Luo Tian walking in and Dan, who was following him excitedly.
As soon as Dan saw Tom, he excitedly shouted, "Brother! Long time no see!"
His voice was filled with joy.
Tom's face lit up with surprise when he heard the familiar voice.
He quickly stepped forward and hugged his long-lost younger brother, Dan, tightly.
The two brothers had not seen each other for a long time, and their reunion was filled with indescribable emotions.
After loosening his embrace slightly, Tom asked with a big smile, "Oh dear, my great scholar brother, what brings you all the way from Fishman Island to visit your brother?"
His words were full of teasing.
As Dan looked at Tom's friendly yet slightly playful expression, his initially joyful demeanor gradually turned serious.
He opened his mouth as if to say something, but swallowed the words back down.
At this moment, his heart was filled with more worry about his brother's situation.
Just then, Luo Tian, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke first:
"Master Tom, to be honest, we have come here to protect you."
After saying that, he looked at Tom with a firm gaze.
Dan nodded in agreement after hearing Luo Tian's words.
Tom was initially puzzled by this, but after a moment's thought, he exclaimed as if suddenly understanding:
"Oh... protect me? You want to take that blueprint, don't you?"
Luo Tian and Dan nodded.
But clearly, Tom was already aware of the dangers he was facing.
Then, Tom's expression became somewhat complicated, and after a moment of silence, he continued:
"As for Pluto's ship... from a shipwright's professional perspective, it's undoubtedly top-tier. But if we're just looking at it from an ordinary person's point of view, to be honest, I really don't want such a powerful and terrifying vessel to be built. After all, who knows what consequences it would bring once it sets sail?"
After saying that, he took a deep breath, then exhaled heavily, letting out a long sigh.
"This blueprint has been around for hundreds of years. I want to preserve it, but I don't want it to fall into the hands of the World Government."
Dan glared angrily at Tom, demanding, "Are you really willing to risk your life for this mere blueprint?"
Although Dan was also a shipwright, he couldn't understand why Tom was so persistent. At this moment, the only thing on his mind was the safety of his brother.
However, Tom firmly replied, "This is Pluton, one of the three ancient weapons."
The two argued back and forth, neither willing to back down, and the atmosphere grew increasingly tense, with a fierce argument on the verge of erupting.
Just then, Luo Tian, who had been silent all along, suddenly stepped forward. He placed his hands on Dan and Tom's shoulders respectively and said earnestly:
"Alright, you two, calm down first. Dan, you haven't seen each other for so long, why are you arguing the moment you meet? Can't you talk things out?"
Upon hearing Luo Tian's words, Dan's initially agitated emotions gradually calmed down.
He realized he had acted impulsively, so he took a deep breath, turned to look at Tom, and said with a hint of apology:
“I’m sorry, Tom, I was just too hasty. But I was really worried about my brother…”
Seeing this, Tom softened his attitude and said he would no longer hold the previous argument against him.
Then, he turned his gaze to Luo Tian and asked seriously:
"So, Luo Tian, what exactly do you plan to do with this blueprint?"
Luo Tian's lips curled slightly upward, revealing a mysterious smile, and he answered casually:
"It's ruined. Since everyone is arguing so fiercely and no one is willing to give in, why not just make this blueprint disappear? That way, there will be no more disputes, wouldn't that be better? And we won't have to live in fear anymore."
Tom was shocked and immediately shook his head in opposition, saying, "No! Absolutely not! This blueprint has been passed down for hundreds of years, embodying the hard work and wisdom of countless shipwrights. How can it be destroyed so easily?"
