"I don't expect to use this little money to build a new ship, so I plan to go to the Seven Islands of Water and ask the shipwrights there to make some modifications to Darkmaru.
Let's not mention other aspects for now, anyway, at least give me an independent room.
You guys snore so loudly at night that I almost had a nervous breakdown in the past few months!"
The days of being forced to squeeze into the big cabin with Ruth and the others were undoubtedly difficult for Wood.
A group of big men pick their stinky feet every day and drink in the cabin from time to time, making the cabin smelly.
The sound of collective snoring every night made Wood feel like the deck was shaking.
And because of the system, Wood would sometimes do some shameful things. Being in the same room with Ruth and the others would always be inconvenient.
So although modifying the hull layout is a small matter, for Wood, it is now a top priority.
The Seven Islands of Water is a city on the water. The transportation and traffic here basically rely on a creature called "Bru".
This creature called Blue has a strong carrying capacity and can swim extremely fast in the water. Local residents generally raise this creature to use it as a means of transportation.
After arriving at the Seven Islands of Water, Wood and Robin spent a thousand beli to rent a small Blue with a double seat on the island to use as a walking tool, while Russ and the others stayed on the boat to watch the ship.
There are many shipwrights and shipbuilding companies in the Seven Islands of Water now, and it is far from the situation where Iceberg Carrera Company will be the only one more than ten years ago.
Of course, because he built ships for pirate ships, the most famous shipwright and company in the Seven Islands of Water is still Tom the Fishman.
In the Grand Line, murlocs and humans discriminated against each other, but as a horned murloc, Tom gained the respect of everyone in the Seven Islands of Water.
Not only is Tom's own shipbuilding skills recognized by everyone, but also because of his own contribution to the Seven Islands of Water.
The Water City welcomes the Gods of Water (a tsunami) once a year. At this time every year, people on the island will run to higher places to avoid the tsunami. However, the water level will increase a lot after the tsunami passes every year.
Due to the poor trade on the Grand Line and the lack of connections between islands, major shipbuilding companies continued to fight for customers, and the residents of the islands fell into the shadow of slow death.
Fishman Tom wanted to save the island, so he spent a long time inventing the idea of a track that floated on the sea and was not destroyed by the water gods and a sea train.
For the entire Seven Water Islands, Tom is undoubtedly the hero of this water city.
It is also because of Tom's contribution that the residents of this island do not discriminate against murlocs too much, and there are even other murlocs working in Tom's shipyard.
When Wood and Robin went to Tom's studio in Blue, they were greeted by a middle-aged woman with green hair and red lips.
Although the other party was unremarkable in appearance, Wood recognized the other party at a glance as Granny Kokoro who checked the tickets on the sea train later, and the true identity of the other party was the mermaid who shattered Sanji's fantasy.
And when Wood announced his intention to come, Granny Cocoluo also had a look of embarrassment on her face.
Because of the idea and implementation of the sea train, Tom now spends his days building the sea train and tracks with his two disciples Bingshan and Blanche.
At the beginning, Granny Cocoluo planned to simply reject the request from Wood and the others, but Wood actually said that he was introduced by Fisher Tiger, which made Granny Cocoluo difficult to deal with.
Who is Fisher Tiger? That’s the hero of Mermaid Island!
No, it should be said that since the incident in Holy Land Mariejoia broke out, Tiger has become the hero of all fishmen in the world.
Master Tom is a horn fish man. After hearing what Tiger had done before, he also admired him.
Since Wood said that he was introduced by this fish-man hero, Granny Kokoro was really embarrassed and just drove them away.
Facts have proved that the reputation of the fish-man hero Tiger is really good. After learning that Wood's commission was not to build a ship, but just to restructure it without wasting much time, Master Tom finally accepted the commission.
But now he and his two apprentices are busy debugging the sea train. They are discussing the modification of Wood's pirate ship and other matters. They can only wait for the news in the evening.
Granny Cocoluo also said embarrassedly that Tom and his two apprentices were complete workaholics and would not know the news once they started working. She also suggested that Wood and the two of them visit the Seven Islands of Water first.
Regarding Grandma Cocoluo's suggestion, Wood and Robin nodded in agreement without any dissatisfaction.
After all, Tom, a world-class shipbuilder, has not helped build a ship for a long time since he plunged into the construction of sea trains.
Now being willing to accept their entrustment can be regarded as quite a favor.
Riding the rented Blue and eating the specialties of the Water City, Wood and Robin started touring the city in a relaxed mood.
Due to the geographical environment of the Seven Islands in the Water, this city is very prosperous and beautiful, and it is the first time for Robin to have such a relaxing trip.
When she was young, Robin was left on the island by her mother who loved archeology. It wasn't until she met Saron that she realized how wonderful the outside world was, and she longed for it.
Who knew that the nightmare of the Demon-Slaying Order shattered her dream. Although she saw the outside world as she wished, what she heard and saw was not what she originally imagined.
"Wood, how do you know such a big shot as Fisher Tiger?"
Sitting on Blue's back, holding the meat in one hand and the new book he just bought in the other, Robin looked satisfied.
Soon after, she suddenly curiously asked the man sitting behind her.
Robin likes to read and reads newspapers every day. In addition, she has been a pirate for several years, which means that she has heard about what happened on the sea in the past few years.
Although he had been in the Western Sea before, Robin could not have known about such a major event as the Holy Land Marie Joa, which had caused an uproar in the entire sea.
What makes Robin a little puzzled is that Wood was in the navy before and was only a major. How could he know such a big shot as Fisher Tiger?
No, it would be strange for even a big shot in the Navy to know Tiger. After all, he is a hated criminal of the World Government, and the Navy is a pawn of the World Government.
"This is quite reasonable. As the son of the devil, you are not a criminal wanted by the World Government, but you are not riding in front with me now?
Besides, I only said that I knew Fisher Tiger, but I didn’t say that he also knew me. Look, don’t you also know that fish-man hero?”
