Chapter 30: Tom.

"How did you get here, you rascal!"

Spandam held his head, which had been hit by a cannonball, and pointed at Hiruma, shouting loudly.

However, his tone was somewhat lacking in confidence.

The strange scene that had just happened, as well as Hiruma's powerful combat power, made Spandam a little nervous.

He snorted coldly, didn't say anything, and just tossed the coin in his hand into the air and caught it.

This obvious warning action made Spandam suddenly calm down: "Don't mess around, I'm the chief of CP5. If you dare to lay a hand on me, you'll be making an enemy of the World Government!"

Tom looked at Spandam and then at Hiruma.

"You two don't seem to be together." He was a shrewd man. Although these two people looked different, they gave people an inexplicably similar feeling. He didn't expect them not to be together. "What brings you to see me?"

Hiruma didn't answer, as he lazily leaned against an abandoned ship, his head lowered as if thinking about something.

That not very intelligent Adam Tree had said it was underneath this island.

Although this Scrap Island was not very big, it was still an island.

Digging it out was like a fool's dream.

Moreover, in a few years, this abandoned ship island would be completely submerged by the sea as the foundation sank.

If he missed this opportunity, he could only fight with Luffy if he wanted to find Adam Tree again.

Adam Tree's appearance had disrupted his carefully planned scheme. He needed time to reset his plan before talking to Tom again.

Seeing that Hiruma wasn't speaking, Spandam asked to speak privately with Tom.

Of course, he knew what they were talking about.

Spandam had found out through various searches that eight hundred years ago, a warship called "Pluton" was built by shipbuilders on Water 7.

Therefore, he believed that the design of Pluton must have been preserved here for generations.

And the person most likely to have the Pluton design was Tom, who was recognized by everyone as the "world's number one shipbuilder".

"A fishman can actually become the world's number one shipbuilder, it must be because he often studies the Pluton design."

But Spandam was right, the Pluton design was indeed in Tom's hands.

And the reason why Tom had been keeping the hot potato of the Pluton design was because of two reasons: the first, Pluton was indeed the pinnacle of shipbuilding history.

And another reason, the most important one, was because of Nico Robin!

Keeping the design of Pluton for so many years, Tom knew more than anyone else about the terror of Pluton.

In his view, although Pluton has disappeared for nearly 800 years, it was absolutely impossible to be destroyed, and it must be hidden in some corner of this world.

For ancient weapons that can destroy the world, Tom couldn't be too careful.

He was worried that Nico Robin would be controlled by some force and then find the location of Pluton by interpreting the historical text.

Once Pluton appears, it will be a catastrophic disaster for this world!

And he has been keeping the design of Pluton to prevent this from happening. In case Pluton is found, he could also create a new Pluton to fight against it.

He would never destroy the Pluton design as long as Nico Robin was alive.

Soon, the door opened and Spandam came out of it.

Hmm, no surprises, he was thrown out by Tom.

This trash with was not even a match for an ordinary strong person, let alone Tom, who can lift a ship.

Weak fighting power was one thing, the key was that he was still imitating himself, with a sarcastic look that deserved a beating.

Hiruma had already walked slowly towards Tom when Spandam was thrown out, and now it was his turn to talk to Tom.

"Tsk~ waste." Xiego didn't even look at Spandam, and kicked him aside as he walked past: "Ant, you're blocking my way. Be careful next time, don't get accidentally stepped on by me."

This kind of person was not worth his attention, Hiruma didn't even have the interest to torture him.

But thinking about eight years later, it was this waste who initiated the Buster Call. Hi decided to forcefully maintain his spirits and send him off after he helped to push Tom to a dead end.

Lying on the ground and watching Hiruma's back, Spandam was angry, but there was a hint of admiration in his heart.

Every move, every word and action, always maintained a taunting state, he was simply a model for the younger generation.

"Hold on, let's go!" Spandam walked away with a calm face.

Inside the room, Hiruma didn't waste any time and went straight to the point: "I'm here for the Adam Tree, I need a ship, a ship made by the Adam Tree, a ship that can sail around the world."

Tom's fat body shook, and his eyes stared directly at him, even his usually smiling eyes widened.

Hiruma's current appearance, tone, expression, and even language were so familiar.

In a trance, he seemed to go back to over a decade ago.

That man was also so direct, using almost the exact same tone and words with himself.

And that man did indeed travel around the world.

But he also ended up in today's situation because of that man.

"Do you regret it?" This question surfaced in his mind again.

"No! A man should face the ship he built with great courage!" Tom's smile reappeared on his face. "I am honored to be able to contribute to a man as courageous as Roger!"

There was a moment of illusion in front of him, and he returned to reality, and the person across from him changed from Roger to Hiruma.

"You two feel a bit similar, but also completely different," Tom suddenly said something that made Hiruma puzzled.

He subconsciously looked towards the door, thinking that Tom was referring to himself and Spandam.

"Of course, completely different!" jokingly, he was not the waste that could be compared to that guy.

Not to mention his current self, even his self before transmigrating was much stronger than that waste...right?

Hmm! Definitely much stronger, at least he was the first mate of the East Blue mountain bandits, with a bounty of up to eight million berries.

"Unfortunately, I have to disappoint you. If it's an ordinary ship, as a courageous shipbuilder, of course, I wouldn't refuse your request. But unfortunately, I don't have any of the top-notch material, Adam Wood, right now." After laughing twice, Tom said.

Hiruma was a little surprised. He didn't expect Tom to agree so readily to build him a ship.

"What if I can find Adam Wood?" With three days left, he didn't know if there was enough time.

Looking at Hiruma's serious expression, Tom was also startled: "If you can find Adam Wood, as an honorable shipbuilder, I will gladly use this top-notch material to build a ship for you!"

"Great!" Hiruma grinned. "In that case, you can start designing and making other parts of the ship now. Within three days, I will bring Adam Wood to you."

"Of course, I won't let you work for nothing. This is a deposit. If I can't find Adam Wood after three days, you don't have to return this money to me."

As he spoke, Hiruma slammed the deposit on the table, turned and walked out of the room.

Stretching out his thick fingers, Tom struggled to pick up the coin with a value of one berry. Looking at this so-called deposit, Tom was not feeling well at all.
