Chapter 34: Taking Action.

Once one enters the Gates of Justice, not even Luffy and his crew could escape.

So, what chance did Whitebeard have? He couldn't even save Ace, and he died in the war at Marineford!

This was what worried Hiruma. Tom was the crewmember he had his eye on, the man he wanted to become the shipwright for his "Elderly, Weak, Sick, and Disabled Pirates" crew.

Once someone was taken to Enies Lobby, it was nearly impossible to rescue them.

Hiruma had thought that he could handle this matter easily, being in the shadows and all.

After all, with his current strength, the CP5 couldn't possibly affect his actions.

Though Enies Lobby had a standing army of 10,000 soldiers, and the former members of the Giant Warriors Pirates, Oimo and Kashii, guarded the second gate.

But Water 7 and Enies Lobby were still too far apart, even if Hiruma took the Sea Train, he would have plenty of time to get Tom out of there.

But things didn't always go as planned, and unexpected things can happen.

Hiruma had suddenly awakened the ability to hear the voices of all things, and then he discovered the massive ship beneath Scrap Island, which changed everything.

...

"Where's Tom now?" When he arrived at the square in his memory, all he saw was a chaotic crowd and Iceberg sitting on the ground.

The usually mature Iceberg burst into tears at the sight of Hiruma.

"Mr. Tom was taken away. He rode the Sea Train that he personally designed and went to Enies Lobby!"

It was quite ironic.

A man who saved all of Water 7 had such a tragic ending.

"Mr. Hiruma, please save Tom, please!" Iceberg looked like a drowning man clinging to a straw, and Hiruma was the only one who could save him.

"How long has it been since they left?" This was the most critical issue for Hiruma.

If too much time had passed, and Tom had already arrived at Enies Lobby, then there would be no turning back.

To his slight relief, it hadn't been too long since Tom was taken away.

"Go to Scrap Island and install the power source for my ship! Don't tell anyone about this, not even Franky!"

Hiruma commanded.

He still trusted Iceberg quite a bit.

After all, even in the face of death, the man never gave up the blueprints for Pluton, which earned him his trust.

"Swoosh!"

After saying his command, Hiruma disappeared instantly from where he stood and chased after the sea train.

The reason why he instructed Iceberg not to tell Franky anything was that he didn't want to change Franky's life trajectory.

Being transformed was the path Franky should take, and it was also the way for him to truly unleash his talent.

Hiruma was confident in teaching Luffy and others, but when it came to Franky, he was truly clueless.

At this moment, the maxed swimming skill once again demonstrated its powerful effect. In less than ten minutes, Hiruma could already faintly see the shadow of the sea train.

"Fortunately, there is still some time!"

He slightly relaxed and was about to speed up to catch up when he saw Franky.

Carrying a huge rocket launcher, he stood on the soft track of the sea train and swayed up and down with the sea waves, even though he could barely stand.

'Boom! Boom! Boom!'

Like a madman, Franky attacked the sea train "Puffing Tom."

"Puffing Tom, stop!"

"Where are you taking your father who made you?!"

Frantically shouting and attacking, Franky looked insane.

Hiruma watched all this on the side but ultimately did not intervene.

Certainly, Franky had extraordinary talent in weapon manufacturing.

But this sea train was Tom's masterpiece, and even the huge tsunami that could submerge seven islands couldn't destroy it. What could Franky do?

'Woo--'

The train sounded a long whistle.

No miracle happened, and Franky was directly knocked out by the sea train.

Hiruma shook his head helplessly and quickly went to Franky's direction.

Looking at Franky, whose body was already completely broken, even him was moved.

Even though he was on the brink of death, Franky murmured, "Give Mr. Tom back to me, give him back to me..."

"Ah~"

Hiruma sighed and waved his hand. Franky was put into a huge empty milk bottle and drifted away with the wind and waves.

Inside Puffing Tom, watching Franky being knocked out, Spandam's face, which had been distorted by Franky's attack, showed a crazy smile: "Die, bastard!"

Spandam's smile had not yet disappeared when one of his subordinates ran up in a hurry. "Sir! Someone! Another person is standing on the track, he...he..."

Spandam's smile became even more crazy as he snatched the telescope, "Is it Iceberg? Hahaha, Tom's two apprentices are really stupid, one after another coming to their dea..."

Before he could finish saying the last word Spandam's mouth widened in horror. The wound on his face, which had been bandaged, was torn open by his exaggerated expression.

But Spandam seemed completely unaware, standing there staring through the telescope at the figure of the person standing on the track in the distance.

A man stood in the tracks with a coat wrapped around his head, and his upper body being naked.

"He...he's the guy who attacked Sa Charles' ship two years ago in the East Blue, with a bounty of five hundred million berries!"

Spandam was completely stunned, although a bounty did not necessarily represent combat power, but to dare to attack a celestial dragon and escape unscathed, even Admiral Kizaru had not found any trace of him.

This was not something an ordinary person could accomplish!

"Could it be, as suspected, that he's a member of Gol D. Roger's crew?"

Appearing at this critical moment, he must have come for Tom.

Only the people on Roger's pirate ship back then had a reason to save him!

Thinking of this, Spandam couldn't stop trembling all over.

Roger's crew members were extremely terrifying, even Vice-Admirals and Admirals of the Marine Headquarters had to handle them with care.

Even Red-Haired Shanks, who was an intern on Roger's ship back then, was now thriving in the New World.

It was said that he was heading towards the position of a Yonko in the New World.

"Full speed ahead, ram him! Ram him for me!" Spandam's eyes were bloodshot, the dripping blood from his face staining his chest and a large area of his clothes.
