Laughing Clown in Pirates

Chapter 89
The capital of water, the rainy season.

The rain was pouring down, enough to cause flooding in other cities.

But in the capital of seven waters floating on the sea, the heavy rain did not cause the water level to rise at all, because the water level of the capital of seven waters is the sea level, and this is a city floating on the sea.

The waterways of the Water Capital are complex. The entire city is in the shape of a barrel with a wide bottom and a narrow top. Several main waterways pour down from high places, and residential houses are located between the waterways.

At this time, the city of water is far away from the garbage dump in the civilian residential area, and the sound of jingling is resounding. This is a sound that cannot be drowned out by the loud bang of heavy rain hitting the metal roof!

boom!The sledgehammer struck the hollow iron block, and sparks burst out from the strike.The iron was about to bear the tremendous force and groaned, and shriveled up helplessly.

"Ah! Failed again, isn't the ratio between the metals correct?" The legendary boatman Tom wiped the sweat from his forehead, his chubby face trembled.

He is fat and strong, with two small horns on his head and a curly white beard around his mouth. He is a murloc murloc with horns.Such a huge size naturally contained terrifying power. Someone once saw him lift a small pirate ship with only one hand.

But this kind of person has the softest heart in this sea. He treats his apprentice Espagu as his own, and adopts Fran, who was only ten years old when he was abandoned by his parents in the city of water. strange.

Legendary boatman Tom was convicted for creating the ship "Oro Jackson" for the One Piece King Gol D. Roger, which was able to sail in the harsh weather in the second half of the great voyage and reach the island of the end.

A man is not afraid of life and death, but Tom thinks he still has an unfulfilled destiny.

The city of water is hit by a huge tsunami called the gods of water every year.At that time, the water level of the water city will rise, and the residents will take refuge in the high places of the water city. At this time, the shipbuilding factory will take the opportunity to raise prices and compete viciously. dilemma.

Therefore, Tom explained the design concept and function of the sea train to the presiding judge, and thanks to him meeting a rare wise and conscientious official.

His proposal was passed, and the suspended sentence was changed to the execution after he created the sea train.

The residents of the Water City spurned and excluded him because he made a ship for One Piece.This attitude did not end with One Piece Gol D. Roger, but became worse because One Piece started the era of great pirates.

As a last resort, Tom the boatman moved to live in a garbage dump far away from residential areas.

Seeing that the hollow iron block was smashed flat, the two youths standing beside Tom breathed a sigh of relief. They smiled at each other and punched each other behind Tom.

"What are you doing, don't continue to smelt metal!" Tom turned and shouted.

"Don't be in such a hurry, I think such an important research should be done slowly." Espagu's movements were unhurried, and Franky, who was beside him with a blue-haired airplane head, also nodded in response: "Yes! Yes! I haven’t produced any results for more than ten years, so it’s not too late!”

"Espagu! Franky!" Tom put his arms around the two tall young men: "Men should face their fate and responsibilities loudly!"

"Slacking off on one's destiny in order to prolong one's own life is not what a reputable man would do!"

Franky clenched his fists: "I don't know what a reputable man is! Papa Tom! You work fourteen hours a day just to make metal that can be used as train tracks!"

Frankie broke free from Tom's arm, turned and yelled at Tom, "Do you really want to die?"

Tom's heart trembled. He looked at the two youths with clenched fists and red eyes, and laughed.

"How can you say that? The time of probation is not unlimited, on the contrary it is uncertain."

"The reason why I have survived until now with no results is because someone is bearing the pressure for me!"

"So, I have to do it as hard as I can every day as if it were my last."

"Espagu, Frankie! If one day I die, you should continue to do this!"

"Until the sound of the train running on the track resounds throughout this city of water!"

"Continue with our work, bring the smelted metal, we need to re-adjust the ratio, and try to add new metal!" Tom said in a deep voice, and patted Espagu and Franky on the shoulders.

Outside the garbage room that was converted into a factory, it was still raining heavily, and Tom suddenly became worried about the judge who had only met once.

………………

"Murloc Tom, is what you said true? Such a miraculous thing can really be made!" Sitting on the high trial platform, the chief judge looked down at the criminals below with indifference.

"Just give me time, I'm the world's top boatman!" Tom slapped his chest loudly.

The young chief judge hesitated, he was young and handsome, he climbed to this position at the age of 36 with his own efforts and financial assistance from his family, and his future was bright.

Should he bet his political future, or even his life, for his hometown?

Yes, he was born in the city of water, and the tsunami of the water gods every year in his childhood was his nightmare.

Before that day comes, the bells of the capital of water will ring throughout the city, and people will take as many supplies as possible to the high shelters. We have to face the problem of food shortage, the problem that most of the houses are submerged in seawater and there is nowhere to live, and there are diseases... Many people died from the polluted water source after the tsunami.They vomited and diarrhoea, along with their dead bodies, covered in grains of sea salt brought by the water gods, lying on the roofs of houses, exposed to the scorching sun after the tsunami, and died of dehydration.

Although his family is now the top family in the water city, and even when the tsunami comes, he can wait for the tsunami to pass in his high-rise property without going into the shelter, but he still has lingering fears about the water gods who come every year.

Reason told him that he didn't need to fight for a chance for the criminal in front of him, he should try it as soon as possible, just like those revolutionary soldiers who didn't deserve to die.

But on the other hand……

"How long do you need?"

"About ten years!"

"That's too long..." The chief judge shook his head.

"This is my estimated time. If you are lucky, it may be done in one year!" Tom said with a smile.

The chief judge frowned, and finally said: "I want to ask my superiors to come and suppress Tom the Murloc."

It was not easy for the chief judge to ask his superiors for instructions. He even bribed 1000 million Baileys before his superiors agreed. He called to report the situation to the world's highest power five old stars and applied for probation.

"Kevin Lomes, think about it. You're betting your political future by making this call." Before the phone bug, his superior was smoking. "There is no need to gamble your future for a criminal's big words! You still have a chance to repent, and of course I will not refund the money."

Perhaps out of a daze, Kevin Lomes picked up the phone resolutely and called the highest power in the world.

The next day, the young chief judge sat on a high trial platform and struck the hammer of judgment.

"Murloc Tom made a pirate ship for the criminal Gol D Roger, causing Gol D Roger to reach the island of the end and become One Piece King. Ben was immediately executed, but considering the hugeness of the sea train plan proposed by Murloc Tom The impact and benefits, the sentence will be changed to probation until the manufacturing of the sea train is completed!"

This trial may be the most important trial in the city of water for a century, and it brings hope...

　Brain hole: Tom, who built the sea train for his hometown, is undoubtedly a famous hero, but the judge who won the probation until the completion of the sea train, and even applied for acquittal is undoubtedly great.
