Pirates of the First Empire

After Dan explained everything to Tom, Tom also understood why his younger brother appeared in the water capital without saying a word. Tom knew that his younger brother had never left his hometown of Fishman Island in his life.

In particular, after learning about Doyle's intentions, he was also very surprised. No matter how he said it, the Dragon Palace Kingdom on Fishman Island was his hometown, and Doyle, as the first human crown prince to establish diplomatic relations with the Dragon Palace Kingdom , Tom still has a good impression of it.

Coupled with the conversation Tom heard just now, he also has a good impression of this young man, especially, after learning about Doyle himself from his younger brother Dan, who also has a good scientific level, he looks at Doyle's The gaze is even more different.

If it is said that Tom may have ulterior motives when he first heard Doyle's evaluation of the sea train and his trust, but after knowing that Doyle is indeed a person who understands this, Tom also understands that the other party is indeed very optimistic about him. Masterpiece - Sea Train.

Later, Doyle and Tom got to know each other formally, and each gave a brief introduction to the people on both sides. In fact, there were not many people in Tom Shipbuilding Company at this time.

In addition to the protagonist Tom, and two apprentices, Fram and Espagu, there are only Tom's pet frog Henggang and Granny Kokoro who acts as Tom's secretary.

Grandma Ke Keluo was born in the mermaid clan of Murman Island, belonging to the silver fish mermaid, with a fat body, kind, enthusiastic and a little cunning.

Because she is over 30 years old, the tail of the fish has turned into legs and can walk on land. Grandma Ke Keluo was Tom's little fan girl. She chased stars all the way to the capital of water, and later settled in the capital of water.

Even, in the plot, Granny Ke Keluo even has a granddaughter, but her granddaughter is only a quarter of mermaid blood, and there is nothing special about it except for her extraordinary water skills.

It's a pity that at this point in time, Doyle obviously couldn't see the young and beautiful Granny Kokoro that only existed in Oda-sensei's writings. What he saw could only be the "Monster Granny" that Luffy said.

In the end, under Tom's inquiry, Espagu could only honestly retell the content of the conversation between himself and Doyle to Tom, so that Tom had a deeper understanding of Doyle .

As a character who has dealt with Roger the Pirate King, Tom's knowledge is not comparable to the two half-grown boys Espagu and Franky, and he naturally knows more from Espagu's words.

But the more this is the case, the more Tom is curious about Doyle, a nobleman who is not like a nobleman, and what kind of thinking and way of thinking is this kind of person?

Tom himself should be full of yearning and recognition for Roger, a hero at sea. He even said when he was sentenced by the judge of Judicial Island, "I can contribute to a man like Roger. It's a great honor!" Such words.

Even Roger himself did not fail to recruit Tom, wanting him to be the chief shipwright of his pirate group, but Tom still refused, because he thought he had more important things to do, and this matter was in In his opinion, it is more important than his yearning for the sea.

That is his life's masterpiece, Sea Train.

That's right, the sea train wasn't something Tom suddenly thought of, but the fundamental reason why he stayed in the city of water. The idea of ​​the sea train had already existed, but no matter who actually conceived it, The original Tom, was not skilled enough to pull it off.

It wasn't until Tom had accumulated enough technical ability in the water capital that he was implicated because of Roger's matter before the official start of construction.

This is how Tom took the initiative to explain the design and concept of the sea train to the presiding judge, so that the judge changed the trial and gave him time to make it temporarily. If the sea train cannot be realized, Tom can't rest in peace even if he dies.

……

"Prince Doyle, first of all, I would like to thank you for allowing our brothers to reunite, otherwise, I am afraid that I will never have the chance to see Dan again in this life!"

"Also, you are the benefactor of Fishman Island, and naturally you are also Tom's benefactor. Although I have spent most of my life in the water capital, Fishman Island will always be my hometown. This old man is determined not to deny it. of."

Hearing Tom's truth, Dan's eyes were also moistened. Many compatriots in Murloc Island complained about the "reluctance" of Tom, a master figure, to return to Murloc Island, thinking that Tom was "prosperous" outside. , I look down on my hometown.

Even, sometimes even Dan can't understand why Tom must stay in the water capital, especially in the past ten years or so, because of the sea train project, Tom has hardly even had time to contact him.

All these misunderstandings were perfectly resolved with a few simple words from Tom. The only person who knew the truth was Granny Ke Keluo, who understood the pressure Tom was under. Out of vent, she was happy for Tom too.

"Master Tom, as a world-renowned master shipbuilder, you will also have miracles like sea trains in the future, which will also be your masterpieces. It is conceivable that Murloc Island will be proud of you in the future."

"Hey, Prince Doyle, the old man is just a shipwreck craftsman, and he insists on staying in the water capital just to realize his lifelong wish, which is far less great than what you said."

"actually……"

Tom was not proud of Doyle's unsparing praise. Taking advantage of this opportunity, everyone was present, and Tom also told about his old stories.

It turned out that when he was young, Tom had nothing to do with shipbuilding at all, until he followed his parents to the city of water, and met a "whimsical" old guy, an old shipbuilder whom Tom hadn't had time to learn...

The old boatman was born and raised in the city of water, and his family has been shipwrights for generations. Such families are very common in the city of water, but the old boatman has become the leading shipbuilder in the city of water because of his family heritage and his own talent. Grandmaster.

However, an accident still happened. That year, the "Water Gods" attacked the water capital again, and the tsunami was so fierce that all the family members and lovers of the old boatman died in the sea.

At that moment, the old shipbuilder discovered that no matter how strong the structure and the high-grade wood of the boat he built, he still seemed very small in the face of natural disasters like the "Gods of Water".

Therefore, the old boatman stopped building boats, and he spent all his remaining time and energy thinking about how to face the "Gods of Water". When Tom met the old boatman in the water capital, it happened that he received a message from the old boatman. When the bad news of Fishman Island.

What happened at that time was the news that Tom's parents and his younger brother Dan were seriously injured by the tsunami storm on the way back to Fishman Island, and finally passed away.

In this way, two poor people with similar experiences, one old and one young, met at the seaside. At the same time, the young Tom had to learn a craft in order to survive in the city of water.
