One Piece: Accidentally Becoming the King of the World

...

There is a simple hut under the huge bridge in the Capital of Seven Waters. There is a big sign hanging at the door, which reads:"Tom Studio" in several conspicuous characters.

Such a big sign is obviously meant to be seen by more customers, but the location of the studio is so remote that no matter how big the sign is, only a few people will pass by and see it, and the business can be expected.

Since Roger was publicly executed, the number of pirates on the sea has increased day by day. It stands to reason that the number of pirates has skyrocketed, and the navy is constantly expanding. The water city, which is famous for its shipbuilding, should be the beneficiary.

In fact, the shipyards in the Water Capital did experience a rapid increase in orders at the beginning. The shipwrights at each shipyard were excited about this for a while, and they were all ready to work hard.

But reality soon gave them a blow.

Due to the complete chaos in the sea, the materials that needed to be purchased from other places for shipbuilding were plundered by pirates from time to time, making it difficult to transport them back safely.

As a result, many of their orders could not be delivered on time.

, not only did they lose liquidated damages and all the orders were lost, but their credibility was also lost over time.

The shipbuilding industry in the Seven Rivers City is suffering an unprecedented blow.

Even Mr. Tom, known as the world's best shipbuilder, has no business and can only afford to rent a small house under a remote bridge as a studio. How can other shipwrights who make a living by building ships live a better life? Yes, how painful it must be

"Ah woo, ah woo!"

At the dining table, Frankie and Bingshan stuffed delicious rice bowls into their mouths one after another. Although there was not much meat, the food made by Granny Cocoluo was still so delicious.

"By the way, what is the number of Franky series battleships, Franky? Tom asked casually while eating.

When it came to this topic, Franky suddenly became interested, put down his spoon and said proudly:

"No. 8 Mr. Tom! But it's a pity that this time we only succeeded in defeating the Neptune class by a small margin!"

"Really, stop lying, this guy can only come up with some weird weapons, and he can't build any warships. Mr. Tom blames you for always coddling him, and Frankie will become more and more complacent."

Bingshan on the side couldn't listen anymore and told the truth directly.

The two of them grabbed each other's cheeks and started arguing.

"Uh hahahaha! Uh hahahaha!"

Mr. Tom on the side looked at these two energetic disciples. Not only did he not stop him, he burst into laughter.

"Okay, okay, you two, stop arguing and eat quickly. Really, Mr. Tom, you can still smile so happily," a gentle voice came.

I saw a good-looking, good-looking man walking out of the kitchen. A middle-aged woman who just forgets it

"But Grandma Cocoluo, this guy is so annoying."

Frankie and Bingshan pointed at each other and said, but they still let go of their hands obediently and continued to eat the rice on the plate.

"By the way, I heard that the merchant ship transporting wood to the Capital of Seven Waters was robbed by pirates on the way.

Since the Pirate King was executed, the number of pirates suddenly increased, and now the materials cannot be transported to the Capital of Seven Waters.

Not only are they unable to build good boats, but their reputation is getting worse and worse.

I heard that orders from many shipyards have dropped sharply.

Today, two groups of shipbuilders are bidding viciously for an order for a small fish boat, and they are trying to grab all the losses.

In the end, the two sides even started fighting in the street.

Alas, life for the shipwrights became increasingly difficult.

"

Kokoluo sat down and while eating her meal, she worriedly recounted some of the latest news she heard in the market today.

Tom put away the smile on his face and frowned in thought.

The precocious Bingshan also stopped eating. Shao's face was full of worry. They were also shipwrights in the Water City and needed to make a living by building ships. All these bad news were closely related to them.

For a while, the room became quiet, and only Franky was left. The sound of eating with frog Yokozuna

"Uh hahahaha, don’t worry too much, there will definitely be a way. This city will not be defeated easily, just like it needs to experience the baptism of Akulana (the God of Water) every year, the difficulties will eventually pass.. Tom comforted everyone optimistically and said

"Mr. Tom said it very well!"

Bingshan echoed excitedly

…

"Bang bang bang! Excuse me, is anyone at home?"

There was a knock on the door, and then a man's voice was heard.

"Wait a moment, coming right now!"

"I'll open the door."

Thinking that there might be a customer coming to the door, Bingshan jumped up from his chair and walked towards the door excitedly.

"I am coming too!"

Frankie also put down his spoon and rushed forward.

"Squeak!"

The old wooden door opened from the inside, and the person knocking on the door was a fat, white man with squinted eyes. He looked like a wealthy businessman at first glance. Next to him was an intellectual beauty who might be a lover or a secretary. The iceberg was even more... Confirmed my suspicion

"Hey, fat uncle, do you want to build a boat? Wuwuwu~"

Franky's words were so shocking that Bingshan was so frightened that he quickly covered his mouth and smiled awkwardly at the visitor. He ignored the struggling Franky and said enthusiastically:

"Good afternoon to this gentleman and beautiful lady. Do you need to build a boat? Our Tom Studio has first-class boat builders with the best skills. Choosing us is definitely the wisest decision for you!"

"haha, really? I've heard this from several previous shipyards, young man. Of course Mo Sang

, the old Jianghu man, would not give up the initiative just because the other party said something. He stroked his mustache and said with a smile.

"What you said, guest, is that the Capital of Seven Rivers is home to countless outstanding shipbuilders in the world. It is normal for other shipyards to promote this to the outside world, but our Tom Studio is indeed one of the best shipyards in the Capital of Seven Rivers. Come inside for a cup of tea and then we'll talk in detail about the boat you want to entrust us to build."

I did not rush to refute the customer's words, but went on with what he meant. He did not belittle other colleagues, but also emphasized the strength and status of his own shipyard. He was neither humble nor arrogant, and his response was very good.

Not bad, he is a talent.

Geer, who was standing behind, looked at the blue-haired boy in front of him with great interest. He recognized at a glance that this was Franky's good friend and senior brother, Bingshan. He was an extraordinary talker at a young age, and he was worthy of being born as a commoner in the future. He ran for mayor of the Seven Waters City and did a good job and was loved by all the citizens. He successfully aroused Captain Geer's love for talent....
