Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

Today, since Tom's Studio had finally received an order after a long time, and it was for modifying a pirate ship, Franky naturally enthusiastically promoted those powerful weapons to Wood.

Blanche originally wanted to consult with Robin, because the black-haired girl over there clearly seemed to be the one in charge.

However, Blanche wasn't good at dealing with women, and for some reason, whenever she saw Robin, she would inexplicably feel a chill down her spine...

"You're the captain, right? So you should be able to decide how to modify the pirate ship, shouldn't you?"

"Why don't we try equipping them with these weapons? Firepower is crucial for a pirate ship in battle!"

Franky has not yet become a cyborg due to his serious injuries, and the boy in front of him looks like just a boy who yearns for his dreams.

"While I agree with what you said, a large number of weapons would increase the burden on the ship's hull, leading to insufficient maneuverability of the pirate ship."

And these things of yours don't look cheap at all, our budget..."

Upon hearing Wood agree with his own ideas, Franky's eyes lit up. Before Wood could finish speaking, he excitedly interrupted, "Because you are the first customers of the future most famous shipwright, Franky, the cost of this weapon modification is completely free!"

As for mobility, there's absolutely no need to worry. As long as the weapons are powerful enough, there's no need to run away at all.

Since there's no need to escape, there's no need to worry about mobility. Just use powerful weapons to crush the enemy completely!

The boy in swim trunks stood with his hands on his hips, looking smug, trying to instill his ideas into Wood, his number one customer.

Chapter 149 First Trial Ride of the Sea Train

However, Franky's actions soon caught the attention of Iceberg, who believed that Franky was ruining Tom's Studios' reputation, so the two clowns started arguing again...

On the other hand, Robin had finalized the basic modification plan for Dark Pill with Tom and negotiated the price.

Regarding the modification plan, as the captain, Robin would naturally have to follow Wood's opinion in the end.

However, when Wood saw that there were two separate rooms, and he was finally no longer crammed together with those burly men like Ruth, he immediately expressed his satisfaction with the renovation plan.

"If nothing unexpected happens, we can start helping you modify your pirate ship the day after tomorrow."

As for tomorrow, we'll be doing final adjustments and tests on the "Smoking Tom," and then we'll take a look at your pirate ship.

If either of you is interested, would you like to come and witness the birth of the first sea train to travel on the open ocean? It's the most magnificent masterpiece of my life!

Tom seems to have a strange habit of adding "loud and clear" to the middle of a sentence.

However, it's not hard to see that his expression was indeed full of pride and joy when he talked about the "sea train".

For Tom, building a ship for the Pirate King Roger might have been an extremely honorable thing, but the "Oro Jackson" that he built was not considered Tom's greatest masterpiece.

This vehicle, named "Smoking Tom," along with its predecessor "Rocket Man," are the greatest masterpieces of Tom and his apprentice!

Although the Oro Jackson was his creation, it embodied the dreams of Pirate King Roger and his pirate crew. However, the existence of the Sea Train represents 14 years of Tom's hard work and lifelong dream!

The following day, the Seven Islands of Water welcomed the most lively day in hundreds of years, and the entire Water City was in a state of celebration, as if it were a festival.

Whether they are ordinary residents of Water Seven, merchants, or shipwrights on the island, everyone has chosen to take a holiday today and has gone to the port of Water Seven.

Tom did not disclose the progress of the sea train project, but the islanders have maintained a high level of interest in this unprecedented sea train.

In addition, Franky went to the pub last night to buy drinks for Tom and inadvertently bragged a bit, causing the news to spread rapidly.

As a result, everyone in the City of Water knows today that the Sea Train will undergo its final debugging and testing phase.

The residents of Water City have considerable confidence in this trial, after all, the "Rocket Man" mission a few years ago was, strictly speaking, already a success.

However, because the "Rocket Man" was too fast, it was prone to derailment, which is why the second-generation "Smoking Tom" was eventually developed.

Once the sea train is operational, it will be easy to travel between the surrounding islands and solve problems such as trade difficulties and the water goddess Akula Ragna.

Tom will also become the greatest contributor to Water Seven, bringing prosperity to Water Seven and the surrounding islands.

Early in the morning, when Tom and his crew carried the engine of the "Smoking Tom" to the sea track, the port was already packed with onlookers.

Upon seeing this, Tom immediately glared at Franky beside him with an ugly expression.

Tom clearly also believed that, given Franky's composed nature, he was unlikely to leak the information. The reason everyone knew was most likely because Franky liked to show off.

Tom is obese but incredibly strong, capable of lifting a boat with one hand. Right now, he's effortlessly carrying the smoking Tom's engine at the front.

The crowd that had been gathered around the group made way for Tom's people when they saw them.

This put Wood and Robin in a difficult position, as Water Seven is not far from Enies Lobby, one of the three major agencies of the World Government.

Given the immense public attention surrounding the offshore train project, it's impossible that no one from Enies Lobby came to check on the situation.

Wood is one thing, but pirates with bounties over 100 million in the first half of the Grand Line aren't exactly common, but they're certainly not rare either.

The key point is that Robin's identity is too conspicuous. You have to know that the Devil Child has always been a criminal wanted by the World Government, and now CP9 Spadain on Enies Lobby is the culprit who destroyed Ohara!

"You should hide in the crowd first. Walking with us will attract too much attention, but don't go too far on your own either. There are people from the World Government on this island."

Upon hearing Wood mention that there were World Government personnel on the island, Robin's body trembled involuntarily. However, after seeing Wood's back, Robin immediately felt much more at ease and obediently nodded, blending into the crowd nearby.

"Brother Wood, I'm really sorry, I didn't expect my foolish disciple to go around showing off."

If you're worried about causing unnecessary trouble, you can go back to our studio or your pirate ship and wait for us.

If Tom had known today's event would be so grand, he certainly wouldn't have invited Wood and Robin to ride the sea train together.

"It doesn't matter. Enies Lobby is Enies Lobby, and the Marine Headquarters is the Marine Headquarters. I am a pirate with a bounty on my head by the Marine Headquarters, not a wanted criminal by the World Government."

Even if the people of Enies Lobby saw me, they probably wouldn't bother me, and besides, there are quite a few pirates on this island, aren't there?

Enies Lobby, Impel Down, Marine Headquarters, and the World Government—while all working for the World Government, are distinct entities.

Pirates wanted by the Navy Headquarters may not be captured by people from Impel Down and Enies Lobby if they encounter them due to different management systems.

However, if a criminal is wanted by the World Government, then his three henchmen must also be apprehended.

Those who can be wanted by the world government are generally true world-class criminals, and their numbers are currently very small.

Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, is one; Tiger, who caused chaos in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, is another; Yasuo, the fish-man swordsman who killed a Celestial Dragon, is another; and Nico Robin, the demon child, is yet another.

As it turned out, Wood's guess was correct. His bounty of 120 million seemed quite impressive in the first half of the Grand Line, but Enies Lobby didn't take it seriously at all.

However, among the crowd, Spandam, the second-generation leader who had just been transferred to Enies Lobby, suddenly had some thoughts when he saw Wood walking with Tom and the others.

Spandam, now one of the executives of Enies Lobby, is the son of Spandam, who used the "Golden Den Den Mushi" to launch the "Buster Call" against Robin's hometown of Ohara.

For this reason, Spandam is favored by the World Government and is about to be promoted again.

His son, Spandam, also benefited from Spandam's connections and was directly appointed as the commander of Enies Lobby.

Chapter 150 Frankie's Innovative Ideas

Spandam's personality is just like his father Spandam's; he is cowardly and afraid of death, and his strength is also extremely weak, even unable to defeat the most ordinary marine soldiers.

However, as it turns out, to succeed, you don't necessarily have to be a great fighter; all you need to do is be good at flattering others. His father, Spandam, is the best example of this.

After becoming the commander of Enies Lobby, Spadam soon received classified orders from above.

Legend has it that the blueprints for the ancient weapon "Pluto," which was created hundreds of years ago on Water Seven, were located on this island.

According to Spadam's intelligence, the most likely place for this blueprint is now with Tom the fishman, who is the world's greatest shipwright.

The design and concept of the sea train have far surpassed the current level of technology. Even the most talented ordinary shipwright could not complete such a design by himself.

Therefore, Spadam believes that Tom was able to design the sea train largely because he referenced some designs of the ancient weapon "Pluto".

Unfortunately, although Spandam knew that the blueprints for "Pluto" were very likely in Tom's possession, Tom refused to admit it, and Spandam was powerless to do anything about it.

The appearance of the sea train has made Tom very famous on the surrounding islands. Arresting him without cause could very likely cause a riot.

Furthermore, as a second-generation leader who recently arrived at Enies Lobby, Spandam is not yet the sole ruler of the island.

Once the sea train is completed, Tom will be able to completely absolve himself of the crime of building ships for the Pirate King Roger, something Spandam would absolutely not want to see.

If the sea train is successfully opened, it will indeed bring prosperity to the surrounding islands, but what does that have to do with Spandam?

Spadam is now only interested in currying favor with the World Government's top brass, completing his mission as quickly as possible, and then rising through the ranks like his father.

Because the technology of the sea train is already very mature, and the island's residents have great confidence in Master Tom's skills.

To witness this historic moment, many residents of Water City chose to take a test ride, and soon the several test ride carriages were full.

Meanwhile, on the shore, Spardam watched as the "Smoking Tom" set sail amidst the cheers of the Water City's inhabitants, and he too smiled with great delight.

"Commander Spadam, aren't we going too far? There are so many ordinary people on that train, what if they all..."

Before CP9, who was standing next to Spadam, could finish speaking, Spadam interrupted him, saying, "Then they can only blame their bad luck."

Moreover, the deaths of some lowly commoners are of no great importance; it is their glory to make a small sacrifice for world politics.

As intelligence operatives for the World Government, do I really need to teach you these things?

Spadam, unconcerned about the concerns of the CP9 members beside him, said the more people who died, the better. If fewer people died, how could he capture Tom and bring him back to Enies Lobby, and how could he force him to reveal the blueprints for "Pluto"?

With a rumbling sound, the first long-distance passenger test ride of the Smoking Tom began.

As the train sped up and the surrounding scenery rushed past, the residents of Water Island, who were taking the test ride, exclaimed in amazement, as if they had never seen anything like it before.

In comparison, Wood appeared much calmer.

There's no other reason than that, although trains that can run on the sea are rare, once you get used to them, you'll find that they're not much different from ordinary trains.

However, in the medieval-themed pirate world, such a creation is indeed quite remarkable.

"Isn't this your first time riding a sea train? Why don't you find it new or surprising at all?"
