One Piece: In the Name of the Father

Chapter 498 Lurking
The paradise in the first half of the Great Channel, in the capital of seven waters.

"Don't miss it when you pass by, it's full of high-quality, low-priced, and super-value-for-money things, come and see, come and buy!"

On a street in the city of Seven Waters, Matsurizawa-Alan, the captain of the White Dragon Kingdom task force, is now dressed as a peddler and doing small business on the street!

Not only that, not far from him, his team members, that is, his younger brothers, also dressed up to hide their identities. I don't know what the purpose is!
This street of the capital of seven waters leads all the way to the port. Except for Roberta who is not here, the other eight brothers are all disguised as street vendors or passers-by, waiting for someone to arrive here.

This matter has to start after Robert got the information from Absalom.

The brothers who have read the information know that the design of the target Pluto is in the hands of the boatman murloc Tom.

At that time, Roberta suddenly mentioned that he had contact with this fishman Tom during this period of time.

Tom the horned murloc, the legendary shipbuilder, is the one who built the ship of One Piece.

The intelligence also showed that Tom is now controlled by agents of the world government.

He will not be officially disposed of until Tom finishes building the sea train for the capital of seven waters.

From Roberta's mouth, everyone learned that Tom is relatively free in the capital of seven waters, as long as he does not leave the capital of seven waters, no one will take care of him.

Roberta's contact with Tom was very simple, that is, she saw Tom walking by holding wood on the street.

Because Tom's identity as a murloc is very rare in the city of seven waters, Roberta still remembers it fresh.

Just from Roberta's narration, it seems that Tom is indeed free, and it is completely impossible to see that he is now involuntary and controlled by the agents of the world government.

But in terms of intelligence, it is clearly stated that there are no longer a few world government agents around Tom.

Based on these observations, Allen and the others believe that these agents seem to be hiding in the dark, at least in public, and have not officially shown up.

It is not easy to get the Pluto design from Tom, and now there are still a group of agents hiding in the dark.

It was Robert who suggested that they could hide their identities first and live in the capital of seven waters like the agents.

Don't worry, slowly observe Murloc Tom and the world government agents who are also in the dark, and play by ear.

So, for more than a month, Alan and the other eight brothers lived in seclusion on this street that Tom the Murloc passed by every day.

As for Roberta, it was a different task.

15-year-old Roberta, although she is 1.8 meters tall, has a fat body and a chubby face.

Roberta was the only one of nine brothers who was fit for the task.

And I have to say that Roberta has a relationship with Tom, and he had already contacted Tom when everyone was still looking for a connector.

Roberta's important task is very simple, go directly to Tom's side.

Allen and the others know that this mission may take months, or even years.

But if they are all watching from a distance like this, no matter how much time is spent, it is just useless effort.

As for whether Roberta can be brought into Tom's side.

This is not a problem because Roberta is already with Tom at this point.

Allen and the others suddenly lost their eyes, and their target appeared again today.

Murloc Tom appeared on the street carrying a giant log with a diameter of two meters on his shoulders, followed by three children.

A child wearing only underwear and a child with an expression like an iceberg, and finally Roberta, the tallest and fattest child among the three.

When Roberta passed Alan and the others, she inadvertently passed a small note to Alan and the others.

Two hours later, in a small hotel room, Alan and the eight brothers discussed after reading the news from Roberta.

"The fourteenth brother made it very clear. It turns out that the agents of the world government, they only occasionally show up at Tom's residence. It seems that they are quite lax."

"It's just right, it's much more convenient for us to do things."

"Thirteenth brother."

"Fourth brother."

"The fourteenth brother has been interrogated by the agents, and it seems that they want to investigate his identity.

You go now, perfect the false identity of the fourteenth brother, and watch the agents find what we want them to find for yourself. "

"Okay, I'll do it right away."

Roberta broke into Tom the Murloc's side, but it was actually very simple. It was to let Roberta live the life of a vagrant in the capital of seven waters for more than a month.

Disguised as an underage child who survived the shipwreck and lived in the capital of seven waters.

The reason for this is because the two children who followed Tom had this identity at the beginning, they were both helpless orphans, and they were adopted by Tom.

Of course, things are not that simple. It is impossible for Tom to stay by his side just by being an orphan and just showing his miserable life.

Roberta's plan to break into Tom's side was made by Robert.

Based on the information in the intelligence, he found out the commonality of the two children originally adopted by Tom, and based on this, he created a new identity for Roberta.

The two children originally adopted by Murloc Tom are both pure-blooded humans, one is Carter Fram (Franky) with blue hair, and the other is Esbagu (Iceberg) whose hair is wrapped in a long-term turban .

In Roberta's plan, as long as Roberta's identity is disguised.

Just let him show his talent in shipbuilding after encountering Murloc Tom like Fram and Esbagu.

To be honest, Roberta has a lot of strength, and she can do a good job in shipbuilding. If you really want to talk about the talent in shipbuilding, at least Alan and the others can't see it.

The reason why Roberta was chosen was because he was the right age and looked harmless to humans and animals.

Moreover, Roberta's devil fruit ability can help him pretend to be full of talent in front of Murloc Tom.

It was too easy to disguise Roberta's explosive talent in shipbuilding.

Alan and the others secretly kidnapped more than [-] people more than a month ago, prepared food, clothing, housing and transportation, and sent them all to Roberta's body.

These twenty or so people are all well-known shipwrights in the capital of seven waters. Under the threat of Allen and others, they had to help Roberta deal with Tom the Murloc every day in Roberta's body.

Everything was ready. Tom the fishman met Roberta by chance yesterday, and he was shocked. He had never seen a child at his age who had such a deep understanding of shipbuilding!
