In addition, the sea train just uses the track as a road sign to move forward like a rope. In addition, I am also designing to make the outer wheel and the track make a sound that is disgusting to the fish. In this way, the sea kings will not approach easily.

Already."

"...can it really be done?"

People are still skeptical.

Tom doesn't care about people's skeptical attitude. Anyway, he knows that he can definitely do it, and now he only needs to explain it to the judge representing the world government:

"As long as these islands are connected in Santa Pobla, Puke and Sanfalud, various transactions can proceed smoothly, thereby promoting industrial development..."

"To be honest, the design drawings will be completed soon, but this is not something that ordinary shipbuilders can build!"

The judge has completely believed Tom's words. He who works for the World Government has a clearer understanding of the meaning of Tom's status as the world's number one shipbuilder than ordinary people. In fact, although he just sentenced Tom to

He was sentenced to death, but according to the instructions given to him by the top leaders of the World Government, he would also send someone to contact Tom later to see if he could get him to secretly serve the government.

Therefore, the judge immediately asked impatiently: "Can this sea train you mentioned be connected to Judiciary Island?"

"sure!"

Tom's resounding answer made the sailors on the side swallow their saliva nervously and expectantly - although they were not high-level officials of the government or navy, even they could feel what this technology could represent.

Tom's voice got louder and louder:

"Once this technology is completed, if you can freely cross the sea in the future, it will greatly change the transactions between islands in the world! The sea train is the hope of the Seven Rivers City!"

"How many years will it take?"

The judge looked at Tom and asked the key question directly.

"ten years!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"Then come and see!"

The judge knocked the gavel three times decisively and re-announced the outcome of Tom's trial without any delay. "Tom, the shipbuilder, was sentenced to ten years of probation because he wanted to develop and manufacture sea trains!"

"Oh oh oh!!"

“Awesome!!”

“Yeah!!”

"Come on Tom!!"

People changed their attitude again and cheered, as if they were not the ones who thought Tom should be sentenced to death before - only Frankie still had a serious expression on his face.

Ten years of probation is indeed something to be happy about, but what will Mr. Tom do after ten years?

Will the world government put the "flag" they want to see on Master Tom again?

Obviously——Master Tom’s crime was obviously not established from the beginning!

…

Time has come to now——

"So, Lieutenant General Porusalino, what you are saying is that our Fishman Island can cooperate with Tom Craftsman and the Seven Waters Capital to jointly build a water train? In order to offset the debt with the government?"

Princess Otohime murmured, her heartbeat began to accelerate uncontrollably.

"That's right, among the fishmen who can freely come and go in the sea, who is more suitable than you to take on the construction work of the sea train? After all, your racial advantage lies here, just one person is worth at least ten ordinary people.

Human workers, right? And in many sea areas where it was originally impossible to rely on the strength of human workers to build sea trains, as long as the fishmen join in, it can be done,"

Porusalino shrugged, "And not only the preliminary construction work, but also the later line maintenance and the security of ordinary passengers, Fish-Man Island can also participate in it... This kind of benefit is harmless.

The government will never have any reason or idea to reject this matter."

"And our Fishman Island can also use this project to speak for ourselves in the entire world and change mankind's inherent impressions and views of us. The people on the island can also gain practical benefits from it!"

King Neptune answered with some excitement.

"That's the truth,"

Porusalino smiled and nodded, "And if Fish-Man Island can achieve a win-win situation with the government on these matters, then a considerable number of naval generals, including me, will have enough confidence and reasons to demand the world government.

, push for new laws on Fishman Island.”

"New laws on Fishman Island?"

King Neptune and Princess Otohime looked at each other and frowned.

"Well, the general content is - unless it is self-defense, all humans who harm murlocs should be punished; similarly, all murlocs who harm humans will also be punished; those who shield them are guilty of the same crime... Of course, these are all

Except for pirates and slave traders, they are our absolute targets."

"...If such a law can be implemented and further improved, peace between us fish people and humans will really come!"

"I hope so too~"

"But having said that, Lieutenant General Porusalino, we actually still have a very critical question that we want to get your answer to."

"Um?"

"Why do you want to help us on Fish-Man Island? You even told us so many things... Maybe the navy can also benefit from it, but... you don't seem to be the person who would do such a thing in the rumors.

…”

Seeing the same confusion and puzzlement on the faces of Princess Otohime and King Neptune, Porusalino smiled faintly, hiding his merit and fame:

"Why? Maybe it's because I have a close friend named Lao Tie. He wants me to be the light of righteousness after eating the Shining Fruit..."

(I can’t possibly tell you that I am doing all this to prepare for my early retirement, right? Of course, it is also mixed with some personal ethics...)

"..."

Princess Otohime and King Neptune looked at each other again - how did you say that? They didn't understand, but they were greatly shocked.

ps:4.6k!

ps: When I revealed the solution to the dilemma of Fish-Man Island before, I mentioned the Capital of Seven Waters and Alabasta. Now the Capital of Seven Waters has been clarified! It should be easy for everyone to guess what Alabasta represents~
