Seeing Tom take the Den Den Mushi, Bingshan immediately showed a happy smile, and he also liked Barrett. He took the initiative to move closer to Barrett and said, "Master Donghuang, please come aboard with me. I will introduce you to the specific configuration of the Senluo."

"Barrett, come on board! The later stages of the East Emperor were completed with the assistance of Ace Bago, and he knows the East Emperor very well."

Tom standing by seemed to have also untied the knot in his heart and showed a happy smile.

Ha ha ha ha--

Barrett laughed and said, "Then I'll trouble you, little brother."

With that, Barrett, with a smile on his face, boarded the Donghuang with Iceberg and Tom.

"Lord Donghuang, there are a total of thirty rooms on the Donghuang, and the captain's room is the largest, with an area of ​​twelve square meters..."

After they got on the deck, Bingshan started introducing things as he walked. When Jin and the others heard his voice, they came over and followed behind him to listen to Bingshan's introduction.

But it was fine at the beginning. When some basic things were introduced, Barrett and his companions could still understand. However, when it came to the kinetic energy of the ship and its future maintenance, Barrett and his companions were all stumped and were completely confused.

However, they were too concerned about their reputation to admit that they didn't understand. They all listened very seriously, pretending to understand even though they didn't.

"Barrett, didn't your boatman come with you? I need to discuss some details with him."

Perhaps noticing the awkwardness of Barrett and his companions, Tom interrupted Iceberg with a smile.

"Yes! Lord Donghuang, where is your boatman?" Bingshan stopped talking and showed a questioning expression.

Barrett and the other four breathed a sigh of relief, but their faces turned embarrassed.

"Boss, Shiryu and I are going to check out the energy room."

"Barrett, I'm going to take Karen for a walk."

When Jin and his three companions saw that something was not right, they immediately started looking for excuses and left quickly.

In just a few seconds, only Barrett, Tom and his apprentice were left.

"..." Barrett was speechless and could only watch the few people retreat. He could only look at Master Tom awkwardly and said with a smile, "To be honest, my ship currently does not have a proper shipwright. When I return this time, I will definitely recruit one."

"..."

Hearing this, the master and disciple looked at each other. They didn't expect that the world-famous Donghuang actually had no boatman. They didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Master Tom, why don't you recommend someone to me, as long as he's not too old."

Looking at Tom, Barrett's eyes rolled and he asked Tom to help introduce one. As the world's number one shipbuilder, how could Tom not know a good shipbuilder.

Hearing this, Tom looked at Barrett in surprise. He didn't expect that Barrett would ask him to help introduce a shipbuilder.

However, he still had a good impression of Barrett. After thinking about it carefully, he said in a deep voice, "Barrett, I do have such a suitable candidate here, but he is also a fishman. You won't dislike it, right?"

"Master Tom, you mean Kate."

When Bingshan heard it, he immediately guessed who it was.

Tom nodded and looked at Barrett quietly.

Barrett smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Master Tom, you can rest assured that I don't look down on other intelligent races."

"You and Roger really look alike."

Tom had tears in his eyes. Although he had always held a high position in Carrera Company over the years, the respect he received was only superficial and he was treated as an equal.

Even if there were a few people who looked at him as an equal and respected him, it was only because of the skill he had in his hands.

Perhaps, apart from his two apprentices, the people who respected him were only respecting his skills.

But Barrett does not despise any intelligent race. He has only seen this all-embracing spirit in Roger.

"Haha." Barrett smiled and waved his hands. "Master Tom, you are joking. I am not as good as the captain. I don't have the self-sacrificing spirit of the captain. I came from a poor family and joined the army at a very young age. I developed a habit in the past. I will not look down on anyone, nor will I look down on any intelligent race."

"This is pretty good too."

Tom exclaimed sincerely, and then continued, "Kate is a disciple of my old friend, a whale shark, and has a calm personality.

As for ships, he has learned a lot from my old friend. He is also good in martial arts and is proficient in the fish-man karate of our fish-man tribe.

I can ask him to come over and you can talk.”

"Then I'll trouble you, Master Tom."

Barrett's eyes flashed and there was a hint of surprise on his face. He thought that the person Tom introduced was just an ordinary boatman, but he didn't expect that he was a master of fishman karate.

"Wait here for a moment."

Tom nodded, then turned to look at the iceberg. "Acepagu, go call Kate over. Remember to call him alone and just tell him to come and repair the ship. Don't let anyone else know the real reason."

"Yes, Master Tom."

Iceberg nodded, quickly ran off the boat and ran towards the shipyard.

Barrett and Tom were talking on the boat while inspecting it.

Ten minutes later, Iceberg came to the boat with a murloc. Barrett, Tom, and Jhin were already waiting on the deck.

As soon as the two men got under the boat, Barrett and his men looked at them carefully.

The fishman has a broad stature, blue skin, exposed fangs under his huge mouth, and a pair of wide-open eyes. He looks like a fat blue man, but he doesn't look scary. Instead, he looks a little cute.

If Tom hadn't told him the origin of the fish-man before, Barrett would have thought he had met the future Sea Knight Jinbei.

"Mr. Tom, what did you call me over for?"

As soon as he got on the boat, the fisherman bowed deeply to Tom, showing great politeness.

"Kate, come here." Tom waved with a smile, pointed at Barrett and introduced him, "Kate, this is the famous East Emperor Barrett."

"Hello, Lord Donghuang."

Kate was shocked when he heard this and bowed quickly. He didn't expect that the person in front of him was the famous Dong Huang.

"Hello Kate."

Barrett stretched out his hand naturally, without any disgust on his face.

Seeing Barrett extending his hand, Kate's heart was shocked. Since he came to the human world, he had never seen a human being actually extend his hand to him.

"Master Donghuang, my hands are a little dirty."

However, his long-standing habit still made him feel a little inferior, and he consciously put his hands behind his back.

"fine."

Barrett grabbed Kate's hand, and the wet and cold touch and warm temperature were transmitted to both of them at once.

"Lord Donghuang."

Kate was stunned for a moment and wanted to withdraw her hand, but found that she couldn't move at all, and there was no pain as she had imagined, so she was not caught maliciously.

"Kate, don't worry, I have no other ill intentions. I just want to invite you to be my boatman." Barrett let go of Kate and looked at him with a smile.

"boatman?"

Kate looked confused and turned to look at Tom blankly.

"Kate, Barrett is right, and I was the one who recommended you."

Tom nodded, and then said seriously, "Kate, I know Barrett. He doesn't look at us fishmen in any strange way. You will live more comfortably if you follow him away from here."

"But what will you do if I leave?"

Hearing this, Kate's heart was moved. Barrett's behavior just now had made her have a little recognition of Barrett, but when she thought that after she left, Tom would be the only murloc left, a hint of hesitation and worry appeared in her eyes.

"It's okay Kate." Tom smiled. "The World Government still needs me. They won't do anything to me."

Kate fell silent upon hearing this, and stood there without saying a word, her eyes already filled with tears.

"Kate." Tom reached out and patted Kate, saying earnestly, "You are Lux's only disciple, and you are also my fellow tribesman. In my eyes, you are like my child. I don't want you to be bound here. As a fishman, I know you yearn for the sea, and you also want to go back to Fishman Island to have a look.

With Barrett, you can achieve all of this.”

Tom sighed and said, "I am old, son, are you willing to go and see our hometown for me?"

Kate still kept his head down and remained silent, but his shoulders were shaking more frequently, and the floor where he was sitting was already wet with his tears.

Seeing Kate's look, Jhin and the others have already accepted Kate. After all, they are eager to have such a loyal boatman, and they all turn their eyes to Barrett.

Delia's eyes were red and she kept pulling Barrett's arm.

"Kate, I can promise you here that if the World Government dares to touch Master Tom in the future, I will go with you personally to rescue Master Tom."

Seeing this, Barrett also recognized Kate in his heart, took a step forward, and promised loudly.

Hearing this, Kate suddenly looked up at Barrett, and Bingshan and Tom also turned to look at Barrett.

"Haha, there's me too."

Jhin lifted his hat and walked over to Barrett.

"The Flame King—Jin."

Seeing Jhin's peculiar attire, Kate and Iceberg were shocked, and then became excited.

The kidnapping of the Celestial Dragons, the attack on Marijoa, the snatching of the Pirate King's body, and the recent attack on Impel Down, each of these was a major event that shocked the world.

Moreover, these major events were very successful, making the World Government and the Navy extremely wary.

With them around, Tom would be able to find a way to save his life if he was in danger.

"Captain, please give me more advice in the future."

With Barrett and Jhin's promise, Kate didn't hesitate any longer. She bowed deeply to Barrett and grinned.
