Pirates: The Salary Is In Place, The Four Emperors Are Kicked Out

Chapter 195 Polsalino: The Emergence Of A World Where Only Pirates Are Injured

It took Princess Otohime and King Neptune a long time to digest and accept what Polsalino said - it is worth mentioning that, I don't know if it was because of Polsalino's words. Touched by the words, the sleeping little Shirahoshi was still awake for a while, but fortunately she fell asleep again immediately.

Seeing that little Shirahoshi was asleep and should not wake up suddenly, Princess Otohime said:

"Polusalino Vice Admiral, are you saying this to help us solve the current predicament of The fish men island... Also, why, as Naval Headquarters Vice Admiral, the future highest combat power of the World government, you What would you say to us? These should be considered betrayal of the government..."

"The purpose of saying these words is indeed to help you solve the current predicament of The fish men island, but more precisely, to build a foundation of mutual trust between you and me,"

Porusalino smiled and said, "As for betraying the government or something, don't talk nonsense, I have always been loyal to the government and Marine..."

"Then we will treat you as loyal to the government,"

Princess Otoji smiled, and then the conversation changed, "But since you said the above words to build the foundation of mutual trust, it means that you can really help us The fish men island solve the problem has not been said yet. ,yes?"

"Princess, what you said is absolutely correct. Poseidon Poseidon is indeed an ancient weapon that can destroy the world, but you don't know how to use it, and you can't talk about using it to solve current problems..."

"And I'm afraid Porusalino Vice Admiral won't allow us to use it either, will you?"

King Neptune interjected.

Porusalino looked at the great knight of the sea with some surprises—to be honest, compared to his wife, Princess Otohime, the King of Neptune gave Porusalino a little more feeling. "Incompetent", I didn't expect him to be able to grasp his own thoughts so accurately...

(But if you think about it carefully, the alliance between The fish men island and Whitebeard seems to be led by the Neptune King after the death of Princess Otohime. If you don't have the courage, you might not dare... After Wang Luffy and the others landed on the island, the king's performance was also remarkable...)

"Yes, I will not allow you to use the power of Poseidon now, which will seriously disrupt the balance of the world," Polusalino said, "but I did prepare for you to solve the current predicament of The fish men island. The way...King Neptune, His Royal Highness Otohime, do you know a murloc boatman named Tom?"

...

For ordinary people in this world, the legendary story of One Piece Roger and his crew is forever fixed on the day he was executed, or the day he was arrested. But to the world government and those who know the deeper truths of the world, even if Roger dies, the story of him and his comrades is not over.

Whether it's the world-wide bounty for ex-Roger Pirate crew members or the sweeping South Blue raid on Roger's possible widow, it's a sign that the World government wants to wipe out Roger's gang once and for all. The determination to influence - and driven by this determination, the Roger Pirates only built the Oro Jackson, and Tom, the world's first shipbuilder, who is not even a member of the Roger Pirates, was in the Sea Circle Calendar In 1500, at his shipyard in the capital of the Seven Waters, the government's judicial ship was welcomed.

The reason is very simple - a "criminal" who has a relationship with Roger and is easy to handle, the World government could only find him at that time.

And on that day-

"The government's judicial ship is here!"

"...What is the Judicial Ship?"

"It's the government's mobile court!"

"The government's mobile court is coming to our Seven Waters... Who is it to try?"

...

In the midst of people's discussions, Tom the murloc cooperated to put on shackles, and was escorted by dozens of elite sailors to the judicial ship docked at the dock.

"Wait a minute!! Wait a minute!! What crime did Mr. Tom commit!!"

"Mr. Tom! Mr. Tom!! You let him go!!!"

The two and a half teenagers rushed out of the crowd with excited expressions, as if they wanted to step forward and help Tom untangle the shackles. But the two tall sailors held them tightly, preventing them from taking a step forward.

These two and a half teenagers are Bingberg and Franky, who were adopted by Tom. In their hearts, Tom is their master and even plays the role of their father, although he is a fishman of a different race from them.

"Let me go! Mr. Tom! Mr. Tom!! Give us back Mr. Tom!!!"

Compared to Franky's complete panic, the iceberg with him was also worried, but he was relatively calm and didn't say anything - he was well aware of his master's strange power that could lift a boat with one hand, and like this Since the master did not resist, he must have his own reasons.

Sure enough, Tom Wu, who was walking obediently towards the judicial boat, stopped and turned to look at his two disciples, full of relief:

"Don't worry, it's fine. Hahahahaha!"

"Mr. Tom...Mr. Tom!!!"

...

In the trial court of the judicial ship, the judge representing the justice of the World government is high above, and Major Marine, who represents the violence of the World government, is on the side.

"Based on the fact that you created the pirate ship Oro Jackson, the world criminal Roger, who was sentenced to death a few days ago..."

"It was always right for a boatman to sell a boat to anyone, but One Piece is an exception..."

...

In the crowd watching the trial, Franky with mixed feelings in his heart silently lowered his head, remembering what Tom once said to him and Bingshan:

"There is no such thing as a blueprint for a pirate ship in the world. Any ship with a skull flag on it is a pirate ship, and a seagull flag on it is a marine ship..."

As a master, the meaning of Tom's words originally wanted to teach the two disciples to face the boat he built with dignity as a boatman, but today, Franky thought of these words, but realized something different. .

(Mr. Tom is not Roger's crew at all, everyone knows it! He just did what a boatman should do, but he was easily characterized as a criminal of the World Government... This, what is this! The government! If you say you are a pirate, you are a pirate, if you say you are committing a crime, are you committing a crime? Does this make any sense? Isn’t that the same as just relying on your own preferences and ignoring the facts? Put up the flag you want to see?!)

(Marine, don't they all say that Marine represents justice? But what are these Marines doing!)

(Such a government, such a Marine, do they really...really represent justice?!)

...

Just as Franky's inner sense of justice was shaken, Tom the fish ushered in the final verdict of the bearded judge aloof:

"...The death penalty! Take the prisoner down!"

"Yes!"

The sailors on both sides of Tom received the order, saluted the judge's bench, and then prepared to escort Tom to the court.

"Okay, let's go down."

"Come on!"

"...What's the matter? Why don't you leave quickly!"

"Hey! What are you doing!"

The two sailors found that Tom had no intention of moving at all, so they pushed his body hard, but he remained motionless. Not only that, but Tom also raised his head, looked directly at the judge without fear, and said loudly:

"I'm currently designing a steam outer ship that can run on sea tracks..."

"...?"

The judge's face was full of surprise and bewilderment - he was still clear about the steamship, but he couldn't understand what it was like running on the sea track, and what did he mean at this time?

The judge's reaction was completely expected by Tom. He ignored the two seamen beside him who were almost using their strength to suck him down to escort him down, and continued to shout:

"If the reason why this island is deserted now is because of the unsmooth commercial trade, if the reason for people's panic is because they are worried that the island may sink to the bottom of the sea at any time - then the opening of the sea train will sooner or later become the redemption of this water capital! "

"..."

The judge looked at Tom quietly - although the latter was a criminal in his eyes, the expression on his face did not seem to be lying.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Let's take him down!"

"No, wait a minute."

The judge waved his hand and stopped the sailors from continuing, "You said... sea train?"

"From one island to another, a ship blowing smoke and sailing on the sea track... It can carry people and cargo, and it can even carry boats... It is not affected by the weather, and anyone can cross the sea freely..."

"What a fool's dream!"

"The water gods were all destroyed as soon as they came!"

"That's it! And there are Sea Kings in the sea!"

...

As soon as Tom finished speaking, the judge hadn't reacted, and the people onlookers sneered--For the first time, Franky, who was standing among them, realized that he actually hated these people living together in the Water Capital so much. I think they are extremely noisy and stupid.

The ridicule of people was completely expected by Tom, so he was not annoyed, but continued to explain calmly: "The sea track does not need to be fixed, just let it float slightly below the water surface, and it will never be affected by the waves. In addition, I also designed to make the outer wheel and the track make a sound that is disgusting for fish, so that the Sea Kings will not be easily approached already."

"...Can it really be done?"

People are still skeptical.

Tom doesn't care about people's skepticism, anyway, he knows he can do it, and now he just needs to explain to the judge representing the World government:

"San Pobla, Puke and Sanfalude, as long as these islands are connected, various transactions can be carried out smoothly, thereby promoting the development of the industry..."

"To be honest, the blueprints are about to be completed, but this is not something that ordinary shipbuilders can build!"

The judge has completely believed Tom's rhetoric. He works in the World government better than these ordinary people can understand the meaning of Tom's status as the world's number one shipbuilder - in fact, although he has just sentenced Tom to the sentence. However, according to the instructions given to him by the senior officials of the World government, he will send someone to contact Tom later to see if he can secretly serve the government.

Therefore, the judge immediately asked impatiently, "Can the sea train you mentioned be connected to the Enies Lobby?"

"sure!"

Tom's eloquent answer made the marines on the side swallow nervously and expectantly - although they are not the government or Marine executives, even they can feel what this technology can represent.

Tom's voice grew louder:

"Once this technology is completed, if you can freely cross the sea in the future, it will greatly change the transactions between various islands in the world! Sea trains are the hope of the city of seven waters!"

"How many years will it take?"

The judge looked at Tom and asked the key question straight to the point.

"ten years!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"Then you can make it and see!"

The judge decisively struck the gavel three times in a row, and re-sentenced Tom's trial without any hesitation, "Tom, the shipbuilder, has been sentenced to ten years' probation for the development and manufacture of marine trains!"

"Oh oh oh!!"

"so amazing!!"

"Great!!"

"Come on! Tom!!"

The people changed their attitudes again and cheered, as if they weren't the ones who thought Tom deserved the death penalty - only Franky still had a serious look 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?

Mingming——Master Tom's crime, obviously from the very beginning, was not established!

...

Time has come to now-

"So, Porusalino Vice Admiral, do you mean that we, The fish men island, can cooperate with Tom Craftsman and Seven Waters to build a water train together? To offset the debt to the government?"

Princess Otoji murmured, her heartbeat began to accelerate uncontrollably.

"Yes, the murlocs who can come and go freely in the sea, can anyone be more suitable for the construction of sea trains than you? After all, your racial advantage is here, and only one person is worth at least ten ordinary people. Human workers, right? And many sea areas that could not rely on the power of human workers to build sea trains can be done as long as the murlocs join in,”

Porusalino shrugged, "And not only the preliminary construction work, but also the later line maintenance, the security of ordinary passengers, The fish men island can also participate in it... This kind of benefit is not harmful. There is absolutely no reason or idea for the government to reject it.”

"And we, The fish men island, can also use this project to speak for ourselves in the whole world, change the inherent impression and view of human beings on us, and 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 The fish men island can achieve a win-win situation with the government in these matters, then a considerable number of Marine generals including me, we have enough confidence and reason to ask World government, push for new laws on The fish men island."

"New laws on The fish men island?"

King Neptune and Princess Etoji looked at each other and couldn't help frowning.

"Well, the general content is-unless they are in self-defense, all humans who harm murlocs should be punished; in the same way, all murlocs who hurt humans will also be punished; those who protect people are guilty of the same... Of course, these are all Except for pirates and slave traders, who are our absolute targets."

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

"I hope so too~"

"But then again, Vice Admiral Porusalino, we actually have a very critical question that we would like your answer to."

"Um?"

"Why are you helping us The fish men island? You even told us so many things... Maybe Marine can benefit from it, but... the rumored you don't seem to be able to do this kind of thing. people……"

Seeing the same doubts and incomprehensions on the faces of Princess Eiji and King Neptune, Polsalino smiled faintly, hiding his merits and fame:

"Why? Maybe it's because I have a close friend named Lao Tie. He wants me, who ate Sparkling fruit, to be the light of the right path..."

(I can't tell you, I'm doing all this to prepare for my early retirement, right? Of course, it also has a little bit of personal morality...)

"..."

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