Chapter 41
Back in town.
The originally peaceful island was now devoid of life.
The massacre of the Diamond Pirates caused the people in the town to either die or flee. There were only a few dozen people left in the town.
These dozens of people wanted to rebuild the town. It was undoubtedly very difficult.
However, if they left with him, this small island might slowly become an uninhabited island in a few years.
Such a situation was not uncommon in this era where pirates ran amok.
Most uninhabited islands were created because of this.
The surviving villagers all had heavy sadness on their faces.
His home was destroyed, his wife and children were separated.
This was the most realistic description.
However, they did not plan to give up on this place. Instead, they chose to rebuild their home on this island.
Rhode, Tiger, and the others had suffered many injuries after the battle and were prepared to recuperate in town for a while.
Especially Tiger.
In the previous battle, he had suffered considerable injuries.
Even with Tiger's physique, it would take him some time to recover.
Brook was fine.
After all, as a skeleton, how could you expect him to be injured?
At this moment, the unfamiliar middle-aged man beside Tiger said,""Hello, Mr. Rhode, I'm Hall!”
Rhode was stunned when he heard the name. Then, he asked in surprise,""Are you Master Tom's junior brother?"
"Senior Brother Tom. It had been a few years since he had heard this name. How was he now?”Hall's eyes flashed with nostalgia.
"Master Tom isn't in a good situation right now. The World Government had discovered that he had helped One Piece Roger build a ship. He was now being monitored by the World Government and ordered by the World Government to build a sea train that would connect the Seven Waters Capital to the surrounding islands!”
"Is that so? However, with Senior Brother Tom's personality, he would not refuse such a thing!”Hall knew Tom very well.
He would definitely not reject the idea of building a train on the sea, which would be beneficial to the Seven Waters Capital and the surrounding islands.
"Senior Brother Tom asked you to come to me this time because you want me to help you build a ship?”Hall asked.
He knew that the only thing that could attract the other party was his superb shipbuilding skills.
"Mr. Hall, actually, I came here this time to ask you to join us! Our ship is still lacking a shipsmith.”Rhode extended an invitation to Hall.
Hearing Rhode's invitation, Hall was stunned for a moment before he smiled bitterly.
"Mr. Rhode, if you only want me to help you build a ship, I can agree. However, if you want me to join you, then forget it!”
Hall rejected Rhode's invitation.
He did not have a good impression of the pirates to begin with. After experiencing the massacre of the Diamond Pirates, his attitude towards the pirates had fallen to the extreme.
Even though Rhode had dealt with King Kong and the pirates under his command. Even if Tiger and Brook had saved him, he wouldn't have become a pirate.
Rhode wasn't surprised after being rejected.
After all, such a thing had just happened in the town. He must be very disgusted with pirates.
But Rhode didn't intend to give up.
"Master Hall, don't you want to carry forward your skills? Instead, you want to live your life in a daze with your exquisite shipbuilding skills.”
"Although we're pirates, we won't wantonly slaughter innocent villagers like the Diamond Pirates.”
Hall wanted to reject Rhode's invitation.
A few villagers stood up and said,"Master Hall, just follow our great benefactor. We're here!"
"That's right, we will rebuild this place! The great benefactor is right. With your skills, you shouldn't be buried here!”
......
Listening to the words of the surrounding villagers, Hall's tears kept falling.
Indeed, just as Rhode said, he wasn't willing to let his skills be buried.
He had the same origin as Master Tom, so he believed that his skills were no weaker than anyone else's, not even his senior brother Tom.
However, Tom met Roger.
Tom helped Roger build the Golden Jackson, conquered the great sea route, and conquered the sea.
This was the dream of every shipbuilder.
For shipbuilders like them, there was nothing more satisfying than conquering the sea with their own ships.
Later on, Tom became the world's number one shipbuilder. Even the World Government was desperate for his technology.
"Hall, follow me out to sea. Let the world see that the ship you built could also conquer the sea.”Rhode extended his right hand to Hall and said with a smile.
This time, Hall did not refuse.
He chose to follow his heart.
After living in seclusion on the island for a few years, his ambition was once again awakened by Rhode.
"Please take care of me in the future! Captain Rhode!" Hall held Rhode's hand, his eyes flashing with ambition.
Tiger and the other two smiled when they saw this.
"In the future, we will finally have a boat craftsman!”
"Haha! It's a banquet!"
The surrounding villagers were also very happy after seeing Hall's decision.
On one hand, it would be helpful to Rhode who had helped them.
On the other hand, he didn't want Hall's superb skills to be buried.
