One Piece: The Eternal Flame

The water capital is a large island famous for its shipbuilding in the great shipping route. The island's waterways are quite complicated. In addition to the transportation on the flat water surface, there are also waterways extending down from the heights of the water capital.

Local residents will raise a creature named "Bru" as a means of transportation on water.

The island is prosperous and lively, contracting the manufacture of various ships, and naval warships also have close cooperation with this place.

And the biggest natural disaster in the capital of water is that every year the city is hit by a huge tsunami named Yaqua Ragna, the god of water. In other times, the entire island is safe.

After all, a shipbuilding island, whether it is a navy or a pirate, does not want to have too much trouble with the shipbuilder. What's more, if you can find a shipbuilder from the water capital to sail on the ship, the safety of going to sea will be greatly improved.

Wayne Shipyard is one of the most famous shipyards in the water capital, and it is also the shipyard that is responsible for storing Adam Wood in cooperation with the Sherlock Chamber of Commerce.

But now, the shipyard has been turned into ruins. The boss, Wayne, is heartbroken, crying loudly, and complaining to the navy responsible for investigating the incident.

Back in time a few days ago.

Speaking of which, the Wayne Shipyard was still prosperous at that time. They had just received a big order for a merchant ship. Wayne was very happy when he heard someone around him ask, "Boss, when will you let me build a ship with a big name?"

Wayne turned his head to look, but frowned.

The person speaking in front of him was a murloc with horns, with a simple smile and eyes full of anticipation, "When will the captain of the black firework come? I am very much looking forward to using Adam wood to build a ship!"

"Tom, you're still an apprentice, and you haven't even built an ordinary sloop, so how could you use Adam wood to build a boat." Wayne doesn't like murlocs very much.

No, no, it should be said that he doesn't like people without money, including humans and murlocs.

"But the boss, didn't you agree that I would become a full-time apprentice after three years as an apprentice?"

Tom was eager to prove himself, so he took out two blueprints from his pocket, unfolded them and held them up in front of the boss, "Look, this is a sketch of my design. I collected a lot of information about the Blacks before, and found that their ship still uses some of the old designs, such as the ram and the..."

With a sound of "呵啦", Wayne raised his hand in annoyance, and snatched the blueprint that Tom was holding.

Tom was caught off guard, and before he could let go, the flimsy paper was torn in two.

He immediately froze, hesitantly standing there, not knowing what to do.

Wayne held half of the design drawing, pointed to a piece of data on it, and said, "First of all, the bow. If you continue to use this design data, the water pushing by the bow will be very serious. As the speed increases, the waves pushed up will also increase."

"Secondly, the stern wave breaker is too large. Do you think such a design full of loopholes can be put into use?"

Wayne warned impatiently: "The owner of Adam Wood is the strongest in the new world. If something goes wrong, you will be responsible? If they stomp their feet, we will all be finished!"

After speaking, he threw the blueprint on the ground and left to call other shipbuilders to speed up the work.

There is water on the ground—the ground in the city of water is very wet, and the paper thrown on the ground quickly absorbs the water and becomes limp.

Tom squatted down and picked up the drawings he had designed for a long time. He felt a little sore in his heart. He didn't know when he could actually build a ship by himself, using his own designs and ideas.

For the dream of building a ship, he has gone through hardships from the fishman island to the water capital, and he has suffered so much. Tom will never give up.

He took a deep breath, put away all his emotions, carefully put the wet drawings into his pocket, and then actively ran to the busy shipbuilder.

"Tom, wrench."

"Yes, sir."

"Tom, it's not this propeller, it's another model."

"Sorry, sorry, I'll get a new one right away." Tom's daily life is to help the shipwrights.

Relying on these, he learned a lot, plus studying in the hut at night, Tom felt that he should be able to become a regular, but Wayne never agreed.

I really want to use Adam wood to build a boat. This kind of wood, which is the best in the world, will definitely be able to build a big ship with the biggest sound in the world.

At the gate of the shipyard, a mid-air voice suddenly sounded, and a man with black hair burst into the shipyard with great personality.

His skin was tanned by the sun, he was wearing an open gray shirt, his exposed upper body muscles were bulging, he obviously often drifted at sea, he was not easy to be messed with, and he was dressed like a pirate.

And behind him, there were several equally burly men.

"Who is the owner of this shipyard?" he asked.

Wayne greeted him immediately with a smile on his face, "I am what I am. Does the customer want to build a boat? We can build any kind of boat."

The man is tall, and Wayne only reaches his chest, feeling full of oppression, "I heard that your shipyard has a precious Adam wood branch."

"Ah?" Wayne smiled, and immediately said with a smile: "No, such a precious uh uh uh."

Before he finished speaking, the man grabbed his neck with one hand and lifted him up, "Adam should be here with you."

"boss!"

"Let go of our boss!"

Seeing that the boss was being threatened, the shipwrights immediately dropped their work and rushed over.

The man didn't move, but the people behind him moved, knocking all these boat builders to the ground with a few blows.

The shipwrights lay on the ground, clutching their injured parts and groaning in pain.

Wayne couldn't breathe smoothly after being pinched, his face turned red, and he said with difficulty: "My lord, we...really"

The man's hand loosened a little, so that Wayne's words could be spoken more clearly.

"We really don't have Adamwood here. Really."

This was obviously not the answer the man wanted, he narrowed his eyes, and said in a low and dangerous tone, "Oh, I didn't expect you to be quite spineless."

His hands tightened slowly, and Wayne was lifted in mid-air, his legs swayed weakly, his breathing became more and more difficult, and his face turned from red to purple.

At this moment, someone rushed over with a shipbuilding saw and shouted, "Let go of our boss!"

The man glanced at it, and threw Wayne over like throwing a rag.

Wayne bumped into the rushing Tom, and the saw dropped out of his hand, and the two of them crashed into a hull that was still under construction behind.

"I'm impatient. If you don't tell where Adam is, these people will all be buried with you."

"Ah ah ah ah ah--"

The man directly grabbed the head of a shipbuilder, and under the watchful eyes of Wayne and Tom, he crushed the shipbuilder's head without hesitation.

Brain and blood splattered, and a smell immediately mixed in the shipyard full of sawdust.

"next."
