The Seven Waters City is a huge water city. The entire city is made up of seven small islands connected together.
On each island, there is a shipbuilding company that is famous throughout the Grand Route.
But everyone in the Seven Waters City knows that the best shipbuilding company in the Seven Waters City is not among these seven companies, nor is it on these seven islands.
It is behind the whole city, on the edge of the city, in a place called Shipwreck Island. Shipwreck Island is not an island, but a garbage station.
As a famous shipbuilding island on the Grand Route, there are too many abandoned, discarded and discarded ships on this island.
Some of them have fought through hardships in the Grand Line, some were failed products, and some were simply abandoned due to dissatisfaction, but in the end, after being abandoned, they all gathered here.
As time went on, more and more abandoned ships gathered here, slowly forming a ship cemetery.
Under the moonlight, the dim light reflected on the green moss on the ground, making the entire wreck island full of desolation and silence. Faintly, the sound of crying could be heard.
The Seven Water City is connected to the Shipwreck Island, where all the wrecked ships exit the sewers.
A tall wooden house stood there, with lights faintly visible, and a very simple name "Tom's Shipbuilding Company" hung on it.
At this time, the wooden house was filled with laughter and joy. It seemed like a song. Although it was not pleasant to the ear, it was very heroic. "A man should do things in a resounding manner."
"For the dream of freedom"
"Stand tall and ride the wind and waves" "Gululu gululu hahahahaha"
Tom, the merman with horns who is known as the number one shipbuilding technician in the Seven Water City and has a body as sturdy as a giant, sat on a tall wooden stool and drank fine wine happily.
The house was brightly lit and filled with a warm family atmosphere.
Next to the kitchen, Grandma Kokoro, no, it should be Auntie, was busy making curry rice.
Looking at the happy Tom, he asked curiously, "You seem very happy today."
As the secretary of Tom's shipbuilding company, Kokoro was also responsible for Tom's living and traveling, so she knew that Tom had never been so happy during the month when Roger was executed.
"ah"
Tom laughed, then took out a few bounty warrants from his arms and placed them on the large table in front of him.
Ms. Kokoro walked closer and saw a familiar face at first glance. She picked up the navy's bounty order with some surprise and counted the zeros on it.
"Oh, it's Tiger, it seems they survived, and the bounty has increased so much. However, it's really incredible, he hated humans so much when he was a child, but now he has become a navigator of a human pirate ship."
"Haha, people will change, and so will fishmen." Tom seemed really happy and took another sip.
At this time, Kokoro looked around and asked curiously.
"Where are those two guys, Iceberg and Franky, again? It's time for dinner." Just as Kokoro finished his words, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open.
Two children, one big and one small, rushed in anxiously with a frog with black mane and yellow skin.
The older one looked to be in his teens, with long dark blue hair, a white headscarf on his head, and a black short-sleeved shirt and white trousers.
The younger one looked only about ten years old, with sky blue hair that shot up like a rocket, a blue short-sleeved shirt, and goggles on his forehead.
Both of them seemed very anxious. The older one was about to speak, but the younger one spoke first. "Oh no, Mr. Tom, there is a pirate ship heading towards the Shipwreck Island."
But neither Tom nor Kokoro were too surprised.
"Is there anything strange about this? Aren't there a lot of pirate ships coming here frequently recently?"
Ever since Roger opened the era of pirates a month ago, all kinds of pirates have often appeared in the Water Seven City, which is famous for its shipbuilding industry. Their purpose is naturally to build their own pirate ships.
Those who have money will naturally go to the big shipyards, while those who have no money can only go to the small shipyards secretly.
But because the shipbuilding industry of the entire Seven Water City is monopolized by seven major shipyards, those small shipyards can only survive in the cracks, and they build ships for others secretly. They can only enter the island from the direction of the Scrap Ship Island.
Of course, there are some who do it purely for the purpose of stealing.
At this time, the big child added to the smaller one.
"Mr. Tom is not an ordinary pirate. I have seen that pirate flag before. It is the pirate flag of the Sky Pirates. I saw their bounty today. It is a pirate worth 2.5 billion berries."
As the big man finished speaking, the little man also glanced at the bounty on the table in front of him and said in surprise, "Mr. Tom, these are the guys."
Tom was startled when he heard this, and then he laughed out loud in the surprised eyes of the two boys. "Hahahaha, what a fate! I didn't expect that they would come just when we were talking."
Kokoro also said with a smile.
"Yeah, it's been a long time since I last saw Tiger. It's been more than ten years, right?" At this moment, no matter how dumb the two boys were, they reacted.
"Hey!!! Mr. Tom actually knows them!?" "Yes!"
Tom nodded and his huge body moved.
"Let's go, Little Iceberg, Little Franky, let's go greet them together."

In the waterway of Hulk Island.
On the deck, Tiger controlled the Gemini Goddess and sailed slowly in it.
The others looked at the abandoned ships around them in amazement, which were as numerous as an island. "It's really surprising that there are so many abandoned ships."
Behind Freya, Chlorum and Culori, who were wrapped up and no longer recognizable, walked to Xiao Yan and said in amazement. "Yes, and there will be more and more in the future."
After all, the Great Pirate Era had begun.
Xiao Yan finished speaking, he looked to the side and said to Kuromi who was following him.
"After I get Mr. Tom's consent, you can move freely. We will stay here for a month, so you have plenty of time. You can eat whatever you want. I just want you to try to make the metal I need."
"No problem, boss, leave it to me. I will not let you down." Kuromi immediately saluted Xiao Yan .
"Thank you for your hard work. As for the energy issue, I will have Enelu replenish it once a day. It should be enough for you." "Yes, sir!!!"
At this moment, Tiger, who was controlling the Gemini Goddess, saw the familiar figure on the shore from afar, and his eyes became moist involuntarily.
After so many years, we finally meet again
