"Is this the place? Where Tom is." Urahara Yosuke said.
"That should be it. Let's go in first." Alan said.
"Alright." Urahara Kisuke replied and followed Alan in.
As soon as he walked in, he saw a fat, tall man with a long white beard…The murloc walked out.
"Fishman Tom?" Alan was stunned at first, then he came back to his senses and immediately asked.
"I'm Tom." The murloc nodded and smiled." I've never seen you before. Are you outsiders?"”
"That's right." Alan nodded. He had heard that the Capital of Seven Waters was rich in ships, so he had come here specially. I heard that you were here too, so I came to visit.”
"Hahaha, if you want ships, there are many powerful companies on the island that can build good ships.”" You don't have to visit me," Tom laughed." I don't build ships anymore."”
"Not building ships?" Alan asked, stunned. Why?"
"I'm a sinner now," explained Tom. The reason I'm still alive is to build the 'sea train'. The World Government will not tolerate me building another ship.”
"If they don't let you make it, will you stop?”"What's the point of being a shipsmith if you don't build ships?" Alan frowned.”
" Hahaha!" Tom laughed heartily." I've already built the most perfect ship in the world. I have no regrets in this life." Now, my greatest wish is to build the 'train on the sea', and make my final contribution to this world.”
Alan narrowed his eyes and said,"The most perfect ship…" Orr Jackson?"
Tom was stunned. A nostalgic look flashed in his eyes, and he laughed again." That's right, that's right. I'm honored to be able to contribute to a man like Roger!”
Then, Tom looked at Alan and smiled."Everyone who comes to me wants me to build a ship for them, but I really don't build ships anymore. There are still many excellent ship craftsmen on board. They will definitely be able to build a ship that will satisfy you. I still have something urgent to attend to, so I won't chat with you guys any longer.”
After saying that, Tom swayed his fat body and walked out quickly.
"Is it an honor?" Alan smiled and read softly," As expected of Old Roger. Whether it's an opponent or a friend, mentioning you is a compliment.”
Hearing Alan's words, Tom, who was about to walk out of the building, stopped in his tracks. Then, he turned around and asked,"You called Roger just now…Father?"
Alan slapped his head, turned around, and smiled."We've talked so much, but we haven't officially introduced each other.”
Immediately, Alan smiled and bowed politely."Nice to meet you. My name is Gale D. Allen. Thank you for building the best ship in the world for Roger, Fishman Tom.”
"Ge Er…D？”Tom looked at Alan in shock and could not come back to his senses for a long time.
After a while, Tom finally came back to his senses and said in realization,""Alan? No wonder I thought I saw you somewhere just now. You're the kid from Roguetown. The youngest member of Roger's ship. Are you Roger's son?"
"To be precise, he's an adopted son." "Although you didn't board the ship and went on adventures with us, Old Roger often mentioned you back then and praised your craftsmanship," Alan said with a smile.”
"Roger is an admirable man.”Tom replied. Then, he frowned and said," Although you're Roger's son, my main mission now is to complete the 'Sea Train', so…I'm sorry."
Alan frowned as he looked at Tom, feeling a little... Discord.
" What?" Alan asked with a burning gaze." Are you telling the truth, Tom?"”
Tom was stunned, and a look of struggle flashed across his face. Then, his eyes were firm as he said,""Of course, I've already built the best ship in the world for One Piece. I have no regrets."
"I see." "You're being monitored by the World Government.”
" Stop talking nonsense!" Tom's pupils constricted." Since the World Government is willing to give me time, why would they monitor me?"”
"Although they are attracted by your proposal and are willing to give you time, it doesn't mean that they are at ease with you.”"Since the time given to you is to create the Sea Train, they won't allow you to create other things, especially ships," Alan said calmly.”
"There are three of them. They are all outside and watching us.”"At this distance, they won't be able to hear our conversation," Urahara Kisuke suddenly said.”
"Is that so?" Alan smiled and said,"I heard it, Tom." There are three guys outside watching us. If I'm not wrong, they're from Justice Island.”
Tom hesitated for a moment before sighing,""You guessed right. As a shipsmith, building a ship is more important and sacred than my life. How can I give it up?"
"Do you want me to deal with them?" Alan chuckled." If I help you kill them, you won't have to be monitored by the World Government anymore. Even if you want to leave, as long as you enter the sea, no one will be able to chase you. You're a murloc."”
"Hahahaha!" " Haha!" Tom suddenly laughed." Since I promised to build a 'train on the sea', I will never give up.”
" If you build a ship, you'll be captured and executed. That way, the 'Sea Train' won't be able to be completed. It'll be a pity.”"A man should live a life of honor and face the life he has chosen," Tom said solemnly.”
"I understand." Alan nodded and smiled." I'll help you get rid of the people from the World Government. How many days do you need to build a ship?"”
"Send them away?" Tom was stunned and puzzled.
"That's right," Alan repeated. Don't worry, I won't let them discover any problems. I'm just buying time.”
Tom suddenly understood, and a fiery light flashed in his eyes. He grinned and said,"Half a day is enough!”
