Chapter 376 A waste with only 9 “combat power”

"Job invitation?"

In Tom's studio, Tom looked at the gold-plated invitation in his hand with some doubts, and seemed to not understand why this invitation was sent to him.

"Let's take a look, Mr. Tom, this invitation looks very impressive."

Tom was still wondering, but a child wearing only swimming trunks beside him picked up the invitation and looked at it for Tom.

"Wow! Mr. Tom, this treatment is super generous, you might as well accept it, your monthly salary is much better than building ships here."

"Franky! That's for Mr. Tom, why are you looking at it privately!"

"Mr. Tom has no objection, why do you have so many things to do! Besides, this treatment is really good!"

Franky is one of Tom's disciples, and the name Franky is just a nickname given to him by Tom's studio. His real name is now Kati Fram.

The person who is lecturing him is Iceberg, another disciple of Tom. Compared with Franky, Iceberg is much more stable.

During the argument between the two, the gold-plated letter fell to the ground. Iceberg also saw the series of zeros on it and was stunned.

Excellent ships can indeed bring a lot of profits, but after building the Golden Jackson, Tom was tried for the crime of building a ship for Roger. In the past 14 years, he has been devoted to the construction of the sea train and has no time to do other business.

Moreover, when a shipbuilder meets someone who suits his appetite, sometimes he will not only not take a penny, but even give up some rare materials.

In addition, Roger is a big villain in the eyes of the world, and Tom, the accomplice of the villain, had a relatively ordinary reputation in the Seven Waters City, otherwise he would not live in the garbage station.

Compared with the locals of the Seven Waters City, this invitation letter from outside seems to be more sincere.

"Okay, you two be quiet!"

Tom pulled the two noisy disciples apart, then bent down to pick up the invitation letter.

"What a generous offer. But why did you invite a criminal like me? My second trial is not far away, and I might even be sentenced to death."

"Mr. Tom, don't worry about that. We have channels in the World Government and have absolutely accurate information.

Your achievements in building the sea train are enough to offset the shipbuilding for Roger. After a while, you will be innocent."

Tezoro revealed some inside information to Tom. After hearing this, Franky and Iceberg, who had just calmed down, became excited again.

"Great! Mr. Tom is free now!"

"The studio can continue to operate, which is great news."

Dong! Dong!

Two muffled sounds, a green-haired woman took a frying pan and hit them two people each.

"Don't get too excited, you two kids! Listen to the adults first!"

"Got it, Granny Kokoro"

Kokoro is not a human, but a mermaid. It's just that because of her age, she has the ability to split her legs, so she can walk freely on land.

She came to the Seven Waters because she admired Tom and had worked as a secretary in Tom's studio for a long time.

Although she looks plain now, she was a young and beautiful beauty decades ago, but she was defeated by time in the end.

Tezulo didn't care about these episodes, but continued to say to Tom: "Mr. Tom, you are not a sinner, the world's number one shipbuilder, the creator of the sea train.

Piltover is now in a period of great construction. We need talents like you. It happens that we have abundant funds. You can better show your talents here."

Is the funds abundant? Indeed, it is abundant.

The prosthetic business spread all over the sea, the airship transportation gradually developed in the four seas, the developed medical industry and the export of cutting-edge products, the arms trade and mercenary services, each of which is a huge profit.

The price of universal prosthetics is not high, but the price of customized ones is quite expensive, and the income is also not small.

In addition to the bounties contributed by some pirates and the research funds obtained from the World Government, Piltover is essentially not short of money.

The premise is that there is no progress in Orlan's project.

Otherwise, whether it is a new breakthrough or a new project, part of the funds will evaporate instantly.

But this kind of words must not be said when recruiting others.

We have money, but the king may overdraw if he is not careful. This is unspeakable.

If you want to make money, you have to spend money first. These necessary investments are completely worthwhile in Tezulo's opinion.

"Even if I want to agree to you, I have to wait until the end of Judgment Day."

"It doesn't matter, we have plenty of time, Mr. Tom, you can think about it slowly. But believe me, no one in this sea has offered more generous conditions than us."

After sending the invitation, Tezulo left the studio first and went to the city of Seven Waters for inspection.

In the past, the transportation in Seven Waters was inconvenient, and the city was about to die. Piltover would naturally not come here to do business.

With the popularization of sea trains, the transportation here has become more developed, and naturally some new business can be launched.

After Tezulo left, Tom looked at the invitation letter with a deep face.

In addition to Piltover's gear flag, there is also the logo of the Kingdom of Dragon Palace.

Tom only lives in the Seven Water City, but he is not ignorant of worldly affairs. He has heard a little about the development of Fishman Island in recent years and knows that this land human kingdom has a very friendly relationship with the Ryugu Kingdom.

If you were looking for a country with the highest level of acceptance of fishmen, then Piltover would definitely be at the top.

Tom loves this city and has stayed here. Now that the Sea Train is completed, he has also completed his idea of ​​resurrecting this city, but he does not necessarily have to be bound here.

Tezzolo's revelation is significant because it means Tom will have the rest of his life to do more.

It didn't take long for Tom to receive the news one after another from other parties. The exoneration seemed to be a foregone conclusion, and Frankie was ready to light a salute to celebrate.

"Mr. Tom, how are you thinking about it? Are you going to that gear country?"

Franky looked at his teacher curiously as he prepared the salute. Judging from Tom's current situation, if he really wanted to go to work on other islands, the disciples from the studio would definitely have to follow him.

Bingshan is a local and has feelings for the Seven Waters, but Franky is different.

These days, he even dug out old newspapers from many years ago. Although the newspapers were yellowed and damaged, the report was from when Iron Oz first appeared.

A giant steel robot, this thing perfectly fits Franky's aesthetic.

"Probably, there are some things I haven't thought about yet. This kind of thing still has to wait until the trial before deciding."

"Mr. Tom, I have learned about that country. Judging from their situation, even if you are guilty, as long as you choose to join, you should be able to get a pardon, right?"

The Shichibukai system has been established for many years, and people living on the Grand Line are no longer unfamiliar with this system.

Even pirates with heinous crimes can be pardoned as long as they join the Shichibukai.

Tom's crime was shipbuilding, which is similar to arresting the knifemaker after someone killed someone with a knife. The difference is that Tom knew what the ship was going to do.

But if you debate this kind of thing, you can still make some money.

In the eyes of Tom's disciples, just building a ship was not a sin at all, let alone being sentenced to death.

There were so many members of Roger's crew, but they didn't hear who the World Government had executed. Instead, they kept staring at Tom, the shipbuilder.

"It is naturally better to be innocent. This is much better than being guilty."

This was Tom's own idea and why Tezzolo did it.

Although it is legal to recruit pirates under the authority of the Shichibukai, it also depends on who the pirate is.

For someone like Redfield, the World Government would like him to retire, but if any Shichibukai gathers all Roger's remnants, the nature will suddenly be different.

After all, there is something wrong with the World Government's brain, and it behaves like a lunatic in its policies against Roger.

"No matter what you do, let's celebrate that Mr. Tom will be exonerated soon. Let's use my super war god Franky No. 35 to complete this mission!"

The shipwright's disciple is also a shipwright. Franky has also invented many warships over the years, and can even defeat some sea kings.

After all, Tom didn't find the audio to disperse fish and sea kings at the beginning, and he also considered adding weapons to the train.

"Franky! You are destroying these broken battleships again! How many times have I told you! Since you can't bear to do it, then I will dismantle them for you!"

Bingshan felt very irritated when he saw the warship that Franky pulled out of the dock. He had always been opposed to Franky's building of warships and felt that it would cause trouble.

While the two were fighting, the salute was fired and hit the other person in the face.

"Look! Your weapons are causing danger!"

"Isn't that because you are messing around? Otherwise, how could you hit someone else!"

Firework bombs did no harm and had no effect when fired, but they became the reason for Bingshan and Franky to continue to quarrel.

"That's enough! Apologize to me quickly, and then calm down and listen to what I have to say! I am Spandam, the commander of CP5, and I have something important to tell you now!"

"Judgment on Judiciary Island?"

"No, it has nothing to do with that, Tom. I want to talk to you alone."

Spandam arranged his clothes, and then took Tom to a warehouse in the garbage dump.

Spandam, the son of Spangdyne, became the commander of CP5 and had nothing to do with his own ability. It was purely due to his father.

Under Spangdam's operation, a waste can become the leader of CP5, which shows the degree of corruption of the world government, and Spandam has only one goal here - what he sees as Pluto's design.

"Design? I don't know, I've never heard of such a thing."

"Stop looking at me carelessly! I have already saved you face in front of your disciples! We have turned the Capital of Seven Waters upside down, and we can find this thing with a little research!"

"Then you go and investigate. Why are you looking for me? Besides, what right do you have to investigate me?"

"Of course! Tom, I have found out everything about you building Roger's ship! As long as you are a sinner, it is reasonable for me to find out!"

"The world government has known about this for a long time. What are you talking about?"

Tom knew very well about the blueprint, and the thing was on his possession now, but Tom would never take it out, and he even had more contempt for Spandam.

This was no longer the time when Tezzolo had just arrived. The news of Tom's innocence had basically spread, but Spandam was still able to play wrong with this matter.

This was a new blow to Spandam. He had no solid evidence to prove that the design was in Tom's possession. Only by making Tom a criminal could he proceed with his next plan.

"What nonsense are you talking about! Why haven't you been arrested yet and are you still building ships here!"

Spandam was a little angry and jumped on the table to grab Tom's collar and wanted to do something, but Spandam forgot one thing.

The Dao force of an ordinary navy soldier with a gun is 10, but Spandam only has 9, and Tom is a fishman. Even the most ordinary fishman has ten times the wrist strength of ordinary humans.

The final result was that Tom did not move at all, but Spandam slipped and fell off the table.

"How dare you attack a government official!"

"I didn't do anything. You fell down by yourself."

Tom spread his hands to show his innocence. Spandam wanted to say something, but saw the invitation letter falling out of Tom's pocket.

"You are really strong enough"

Spandam swallowed the rest of his words.

If the other party is a criminal wanted by the World Government, Spandam will do whatever he wants and use all means to achieve his goal.

If the other party is an ordinary legal citizen, Spandam will show off his power and try to frame him.

But if the other party is someone with a backer, Spandam will immediately lose all his edge.

There is no doubt that Spandam dare not touch the people of Piltover. This is something his father Spandine warned Spandam very seriously after Doflamingo's death.

Spandine has many connections in the World Government. He knows a little about Doflamingo's former identity as a Celestial Dragon, and he also knows the inside story that is not disclosed in the newspaper.

The former Celestial Dragon plus the current Shichibukai, this identity is much higher than the highest officer of CP5, but it can't save Doflamingo's life, and Piltover was not affected at all afterwards.

Spandine is sure that if Spandam gets into trouble with the people of Piltover, he will have no way to deal with it.

Spandam immediately smiled, picked up the invitation for Tom and left. He didn't even notice that Tom hadn't signed it yet.

However, after leaving the warehouse, Spandam's smile disappeared immediately, and he called his men to the CP department's base in the Seven Waters.

Tom was temporarily relieved, but he didn't delay, and turned around to call Franky and Iceberg over.
