Even 40 years ago, Tom's Studio was still a big name and well known. (If you read the novel, you will go to Ye Yu~You) Everyone followed the guidance of passers-by and arrived at their destination very easily.
Tom was immersed in his work at this time, engrossed in measuring the dimensions of a rough wooden boat. As for his two future apprentices, Agubas Iceberg and Robot Frankie, they have not yet been born, so naturally they will not appear by his side. However, behind him, there was a big frog, the frog Yokozuna who only had feelings and could swim freestyle.
When Shi Bao first arrived, such a scene happened.
It may be that it was slippery on a rainy day, and the wooden planks used to fix the boat suddenly slipped, causing Tom, who was still working in the boat, to react and see that the hard-built wooden boat was about to be damaged on the hard ground. In times of crisis, the frog yokozuna bravely climbed up, and in the astonished eyes of Shibao's people, it was able to withstand the weight of the entire ship.
"Yokozuna, leave quickly, you will be crushed." Although Tom couldn't see what was happening outside, as the owner of the frog yokozuna, he was naturally very aware of Yokozuna's strength, it was still young and could not support the entire ship for a long time.
Sure enough, the muscles of the frog yokozuna began to tremble gradually, and the amplitude became larger and larger. Although it gritted its teeth, it still couldn't stop the boat from sliding.
"Quak!" Yokozuna was unwilling to give up, ignorant he knew the heavy weight of the ship in the master's heart, even if it was to give up his life, he had to protect the master's treasure.
Unfortunately, a ship plus the weight of Tom the Fishman is not something that can be solved by will alone. At the critical moment, a pair of big hands with green jade steadily stopped the sliding boat, and very easily, pushed the entire ship back to its original position - it was Shi Bao.
"Aha, fish-man, thank you for saving my ship and my yokozuna!" Tom the Horn Man jumped off the boat and saw that the benefactor in the accident was actually of the same fishman race, and he immediately felt an indescribable sense of intimacy.
"This cute frog is called Yokozuna!" Xiao Nana's eyes lit up, obviously witnessing the scene just now, she was full of affection for this frog who faithfully loved the Lord.
Shi Bao smiled and introduced: "Hello, I am Shi Bao, a killer whale, and these are my pirate partners. We heard that there is a well-known shipbuilder here, so we would like to entrust you to build a big ship for us."
Building a new ship was not only the best way to get close to Tom naturally, but it was also part of Shibo's original plan. The original merchant ship of dot com has become very crowded since the two new partners of the giant race joined, so they must have a big new ship.
"Okay, young people are ambitious! Of course there is no problem with shipbuilding, I happen to have a collection of the best wood taken from the treasure tree Adam, so I will give you a life-saving grace just now, and I won't take your money!" Fishman Tom laughed and said.
In the world of One Piece, there is a huge tree that will not collapse no matter what happens, whether it is a war or a disaster, so people gather around this tree to form towns and countries. There are only a few such precious trees in the world, and the most powerful one is called Treasure Tree Adam!
By the way: This kind of hard treasure tree, which can be safe and sound in the war and not damaged, is controlled by the government and is worth up to 200 million Bailey on the black market.
"How can this work?" Shi Bao was shocked, the wood taken from the treasure tree Adam was a must-have for the future One Piece Roger's sea ship, without such a strong pirate ship, how could Roger conquer the great route, let alone achieve his unparalleled reputation as One Piece. Because he was greedy for this little bargain, but he had to take a huge risk of changing times, and of course the clear-headed Shi Bao would not agree.
But at this time, Shi Bao couldn't say clearly, he rolled his eyes, made a proud expression, and said: "This is not good, Baoshu Adam's wood is too expensive, besides, Uncle Tom, your studio has just started, how can you do without start-up capital, what happened just now is just a matter of raising your hand, not enough to worry about, we will pay for the boat ourselves."
When his righteous words were spoken, his subordinates suddenly had different expressions. The swordsman Ryoma, the giant Dongli, and Broki had not yet seen the true face of Captain Xinbao, and after hearing these words, they couldn't help but have admiration and appreciation in their eyes. The first thought that came to their minds was: Seeing the captain behave so abnormally, there must be another belly of evil and bad water.
Fishman Tom didn't notice this strange atmosphere, he was only in his 30s now, it was the time to be ambitious, and Shi Bao's words were for him everywhere, and the more he looked at this young man of the same clan, the more pleasing it became, and his hidden favorability exploded, directly elevating Xinbao from "friends of the same clan" to the level of "confidants and best friends".
"Hey, little brother Shibao, come and sit here, uncle, I'm really simple here, I hope you don't mind!"
"Hahaha, Uncle Tom, you're welcome, I'm just thinking about this! Dongli, go and bring the wine from my boat, we won't be drunk tonight!"
"Hey, that's a good idea! I'll set up an open-air platform now, and the two giant brothers in the province can't get into my small shack." Uncle Tom's heart-warming words made Donley and Broky look at each other and smile.
Most of the fishmen are heroic and straightforward men, and they are courageous and heart-to-heart with their friends. At the evening banquet, although there were no exquisite dishes, the best wine was enough to entertain a group of men.
When the wine was in full swing, Uncle Tom the Fishman brought up the old story again: "Boss Shibao, I just think you are pleasing to the eye, and I will definitely use the wood of Treasure Tree Adam to build a ship for you tomorrow."
The tone before and after his words was extremely incongruous and nondescript, and he was called "Boss Shibao" because he had just been drinking, and he had not been able to fight this insidious captain with a superhuman physique.
Shi Bao was also dizzy at this time, where would he pay attention to such details, but when he heard Adam Baoshu, he was still excited, and finally he didn't miss the big thing because he drank and agreed randomly, and hurriedly changed the subject: "Besides, I found out on the way here, I heard that there is a blockbuster auction in the Seven Waters that has not been encountered in 50 years recently, not only all kinds of treasures, but even devil fruits will appear, I want to combine all my strength and grab the fucking money first."
When Tom heard this, he was shocked, and hurriedly shook his hand, stopping loudly: "Absolutely not, good brother! Belch...... Boss, absolutely not!" Good novels are all available, tell your friends
