Chapter 218 The most precious person
Carter Flam would rather keep sleeping like this and not wake up for the rest of his life, or that it was just a nightmare, and when he woke up, it passed.
Carter Flam has no parents or even friends.
He was thrown into the garbage dump of the Seven Water Capital by his parents as a burden since he was a child. Tom, the fishman, adopted him. Because of his quirk, he had no friends since he was a child, so he only knew how to be with a frog. His greatest pleasure every day was to teach a frog who could not speak to learn freestyle to relieve loneliness.
Even Esbagu, a peer in a studio, thought his behavior was weird and even stupid, only Tom, the fishman, was tolerant of all his behaviors.
This is true even at the last moment of life.
Akin's punch made Carter Flam unconscious for a day. During this day, he was in Tom's studio and was taken care of by Cocolo.
When Carter Flam woke up, it was the second day after Mr. Tom's death. Esbago was also in Tom's studio for this time, but he, who lived under the same roof, never said anything to Carter Flam again.
Esbago even turned a blind eye to Carter Flam's existence, as if there had never been such a young man in this studio.
Carter Flam knew that this was because Esbagu hated him deeply. If it weren't for the warships he built, then Mr. Tom might not have had any trouble. Like Esbagu, Carter Flam had never been like this now, and he was eager to have never appeared in this studio.
"Cocoro, I'm sorry."
In the morning, Carter Flam, who had been stunned, suddenly said to Cocolo, who helped him change the bandage on his head.
Kokoro grinned, his fingers wrapped around the bandage trembled, but he still said with a normal expression: "You shouldn't blame you, Flam."
After changing the bandage for Flam, Cocoro left, the driver of the sea train.
Carter Flam, with bandages wrapped around his forehead, sat in front of the window for a long time, suddenly stood up, took a big hammer from the warehouse, walked out of the studio, and came to the shore.
Originally, the more than 30 warships had been seized by the world government because of their participation in the judicial ship attacks, but there were actually many works originally built by Carter Flam on the shore, which were thrown on the shore because they were not completed or abandoned.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Carter Flam hammered one after another, like an indefatigable robot, crying while destroying his own works that took countless days and nights to build bit by bit.
On the coast next to him, Akin and Esbagu, who were standing side by side, retracted their gaze from the direction of the sound coming, and looked back at the sea in the distance.
"Cart Flam is also sad. He doesn't want to see such a situation happen." Akin said, capturing the uncovered disgust that appeared on Esbago's face.
"I have said that he has been many times before. His dangerous weapons will sooner or later cause trouble. If it weren't for his inventions and those who were taken advantage of by the world government, Mr. Tom would not have died!" Esbagu said hard.
Ajin shook his head: "I don't know why the man named Spandam is eyeing you, but if he and the world government want to punish you in any case, are you still worried that they will not find an excuse? Even without Flam and his warship, there will be other reasons, otherwise, where do you think the crime of building a ship for One Piece came from?"
Esbagu looked at Ajin in surprise: "Aren't you a navy? I didn't expect you to say such things."
"I'm just talking about the matter." Ajin said.
Esbagu looked in the direction where the noise came again, with a complicated expression, but no longer seemed so disgusting.
"Do you know why Mr. Tom ended up like this and was controlled by the world government at will?" Ajin said in a deep voice, "because he is just a shipbuilder. Even if he is the world's number one shipbuilder, he is not worth mentioning in the face of real power, but just a tool."
"You want to persuade me to go to the East China Sea again?" asked Esbagu.
"No," Akin shook his head, "I learned from Cocolo what Mr. Tom expects of you. This is just a friend's advice. If you really want to save the city and do not repeat Mr. Tom's mistakes, you cannot be a simple shipbuilder."
Esbagu remained silent.
Ajin continued: "Because of the attack on the judicial ship, many people in the city suffered for no reason, and they may be angry with you. You just enter the city like this. No matter how good your skills and skills are, you will not get any good opportunities, let alone change and save the city."
"If you believe me, wait for a while and wait for the expedition team organized by my hometown to arrive here. They will send you valuable funds and manpower, so that you can set up a company by yourself after entering the city." Ajin suggested.
Esbagu pursed his lips: "Why are you helping me like this? Ajin?"
"Someone once told me that in this turbulent era, the most valuable thing is people, and the most precious thing is people. If you like someone and think he has valuable talents, don't be stingy with investment. It's not me who helps you, but the one who says this," Ajin smiled slightly, and his originally dark and vicious face softened a lot. "When you and Mr. Tom and Flam built the sea train together, someone took a fancy to your talents. He is definitely not a person who will treat talents harshly. Believe me, if you were not the sea train in the Seven Water Capital, but in the Kingdom of Navia, you would definitely not receive the treatment like this today."
"Is it the consul you often talk about?" Esbago exhaled, "Morgan Stolt William, I really want to meet him now."
"There will be a chance." Ajin said.
Esbagu looked at the horizon for a while, as if considering the future. After a moment, he said: "I will still go to the city before waiting for the expedition team in your hometown. It is just for the new company to inspect the market and environment. Before the shipbuilder repairs the ship, he needs to check the ship first to know where there is something wrong with it so that the right medicine can be prescribed. I want to find the root cause of the problem in this city first."
In the distance, the noise of the removal disappeared at some point.
...
Carter Flam, with tears on his face, carried a gun barrel removed from the ship, and drove in the small boat towards the sea train facing the sea wind.
A giant frog that he followed him for more than ten years and was taught to freestyle by him, "Yoshizuna", has been chasing the boat.
In the morning, from the mouth of Cocolo, Carter Flam already knew that because of the destruction of the judicial ship, the judge and his group, and Spandam, who had not taken the sea train, were going to leave today's train.
Carter Flam regretted it very much, regretted not obeying Esbagu's words and regretted building those warships. He originally thought that the ships were like the children of the shipbuilder. When each ship was built, it was given his own life and soul by the shipbuilder.
But now, this belief has been shaken. If the ship really has life and soul, why can people from the world government still control their children and hurt their most beloved people? Why are the sea trains willing to carry a group of enemies who kill their fathers on the sea?
