Chapter 77 Fishman Tom
Brett was kicked out of the hotel by a furious Tesoro. However, he could relate to the man's emotions.
His feelings were vulnerable, and the harsh words had broken down his defenses. He had built up the courage to hope for something better, but he did not receive a good response.
But Brett was serious. Even though there wasn't a detailed plan, he believed that if things continued to progress smoothly, it might not be too hard to bring down the world government.
After all, Brett had read the manga. Even without taking any action, the World Government would only endure for a decade.
Just as he had mentioned to Tesoro, there are always many people out there who share the same idea.
In terms of gaining strength, it's possible to grow more powerful, and Fish-Man Island can also thrive as it advances.
Of course, this alone might not be sufficient to confront the world government. They would need to rely more on ancient weapons.
The Poseidon is currently in the hands of Fish-Man Island.
Pluto is located in Wano, and Kaido probably remains there because of it. Though he hasn't acquired it yet, there should be a chance down the line. Even now, the blueprints for Pluto can be found in Water Seven——
'Wait!' Brett suddenly recalled something.
He concentrated hard to remember.
The present year is 1512 of the sea calendar, eight years prior to when the Straw Hat boy sets sail.
In other words——
He quickly rushed back and knocked on Tesoro's door again.
"What is it now? " Tesoro's demeanor was quite unfriendly, lacking the gentleness he previously showed.
He was still on defense.
"Tesoro, please help me and look up a shipbuilder named Tom in Water seven," Brett said earnestly.
If his memory serves him right, the builder of the sea train, the famous shipwright of Water seven who carried the design of Pluto, the fishman Tom, who will murdered by Spandam this year.
'It isn't even the middle of the year yet, so perhaps he hasn't been killed?'
"Tom? Oh, I've heard of him." Tesoro nodded, "The legendary shipbuilder of Water Seven is said to be a fish-man. I see. Are you looking to bring him back to Fish-Man Island? "
"Yes." Brett nodded calmly, "The industry on Fish-Man Island has just begun, so I thought we might try to bring our talented fellow citizen back from the surface. "
"Really? Then why don't you think about bringing back the fish-man on Whitebeard's ship? " Tesoro mocked, "Oh right, Kaido seems to have another one, and Charlotte Linlin has a few mermaid daughters too."
"We can discuss that later. " Brett chuckled, "For now, just help me find information about Tom."
"Give me two days. " Tesoro spoke lightly, "So, is it alright if I take a break? "
"Of course, you can do that," came the reply.
Brett shrugged and walked away.
'I really hope Tom is alright.'
If he can actually return to Fish-Man Island, it will be a great help to the place.
He crafted a steamship like the Sea Train that could travel quickly on the water, and he also took over the design of Pluto, making him an expert in weaponry.
Brett felt excited.
He just had to wait for news from Tesoro.
Eagerly, Brett went home to get some sleep.
The next morning, he went to the training area, full of energy, and discussed the previous day's happenings with Jinbei in detail.
"Really? You've unlocked your Conquer's Haki? You have quite the gift." Jinbei was very surprised, but even more startled when he asked, "And you met Dark King Rayleigh in the Sabaody Islands? "
Brett smiled and said, "But my Conquer's Haki isn't useful right now, so I've asked Rayleigh to teach me."
"Hahaha, that's fantastic! " Jinbei laughed heartily and added, "Dark king Rayleigh is a legendary figure from a bygone era! Brett, learn whatever you can from him! "
Brett nodded.
He was actually thinking about the possibility of learning advanced Armament from Rayleigh to pass on to Jinbei.
If he could master internal destruction armament haki, with Jinbei's combat skills, think of how strong he would become. It shouldn't be too hard to take on a beast like Katakuri.
"By the way, I got a message from the government last night," Jinbei said, " I was severely criticized for your actions yesterday that resulted in many important figures from the participating countries dying. It created a huge mess. "
Brett scoffed, "It would be best if all of those people were gone. So, what does the government want from us? "
He doubted the government would help him without expecting something in return.
The dynamics between the World Government and the Warlords resemble a game. The Warlords strives to avoid being controlled by the government, while the government works hard to gain leverage over the Warlords.
"They mentioned there will be something we may need to act on in the future," Jinbei said, "but they haven't specified what it is yet."
"Really? "Brett nodded.
It's likely some unpleasant task the government doesn't want to handle themselves.
After shared breakfast with Jinbei, Brett headed to the Mermaid Cafe.
"Brother Brett, Sally told me that you rescued them yesterday! " Nana approached with a grin, "Sally said you're a great hero! I want to be a hero just like you! "
'Is that child's name Sally?' Brett smiled and remarked, "You will need to put in a lot of effort. "
"Um! "
Two bursts of warm air escaped from the little girl's nose as she shook her fist, saying, "Sally mentioned that by studying at school later, she can get stronger. I will strive hard! "
Brett agreed with her after hearing that.
'Why not include fish body art and haki training in kids' lessons?'
Brett patted little Nana on the head and said, "You've really helped me out. I will treat you to two extra tutoring sessions down the line. "
"It was frightening. Thankfully, Brett is here. "
Nana's mother was also anxious. Even though Nana hadn't been taken, she was still a close friend. "When will that school open? "
"It still requires some time to get ready. "Brett responded, "Just be patient. "
Miss Miriam watched her daughter who was happily cheering and waving her fists, and she sighed.
Brett smiled, recognizing what his mother was feeling.
He approached the counter and looked down at Shyarly.
The girl was dressed in a black silk top. The tight-fitting clothes highlighted her lovely shape. Her pale skin and serious look gave her delicate features a striking chill.
Slightly uneasy under Brett's gaze, Shyarly lifted her head and frowned a bit, "What are you staring at? "
Brett smiled gently, "Shyarly, I need your help. "
"Are you asking for a divination again? "Shyarly shook her head a little, then retrieved her crystal ball from the shelf, "Shouldn't I charge you for this? "
"I can pay you with coffee. I can make as much as you want," Brett replied with a grin.
Shyarly cutely rolled her eyes, "What do you want a read on? "
"I want something to look forward to. Help me read on Tom the fishman," Brett said earnestly.
He still thought the Tesoro guy needed time, and he felt worried it might be too late. After all, he only recalls that Tom passed away this year, with no specific date given in the manga.
'Let's see what Shyarly can find out first.'
" Tom? I think I've heard that name before. "Shyarly nodded before spreading her hands, placed them on the crystal ball.
That's the remarkable talent of Shyarly she only needs a name to do a divination.
Brett felt a sense of eagerness.
"I saw. . . "
Shyarly lifted her head and said, "You guys were talking somewhere. "
Brett let out a breath of relief. 'This is wonderful news. Now, we just need the full details from Tesoro'
"Shyarly, I love you a lot! "Brett left the Mermaid Cafe feeling joyful.
Shyarly watched him for a moment, and her face slowly grew red.
"Oh~ you love me a lot? "
The mermaid women quickly approached her.
"What are you doing? Get to work. "
Shyarly looked down and coughed softly.
Brett felt happy today. After he completed his official tasks, he initially planned to talk with Alexander.
But then he reconsidered and chose to go learn from Rayleigh.
Conquer's Haki needed his focus at the moment
