Chapter 82 Water Seven, Sea Train, Tom
The following day, Brett looked for Jinbei and shared details about what transpired the previous day, including the short fight with Doflamingo and the call from the Five Elders.
"Doflamingo? " Jinbei frowned deeply, "That guy is completely out of control! Before becoming a Warlord, he even stole the heavenly gold."
"That guy is like a wild dog," Brett remarked.
Doflamingo is undeniably a Celestial Dragon but was expelled from Mary Geoise and cannot return.
His extreme arrogance, combined with his downfall, created his insane and violent personality.
He desires to be the Pirate King, but not out of a wish for freedom or power. He likely just wants to drag the Celestial Dragons down from their high position and see the world burn.
Like a stray dog seeking vengeance on everyone after being abandoned by his pack.
"This guy could cause significant trouble later on," Jinbei stated with concern.
"Don't stress too much; that guy is crazy but not foolish," Brett replied with a smile.
Even though Doflamingo is unruly and arrogant, he understands how to adjust to situations.
He realizes that Kaido is strong enough to squash him at any moment; just the mention of Kaido's name makes him sweat nervously.
He knows that Fujitora can't attack him directly due to the World Government and the Navy's position, which is why he boldly challenged the Navy Admiral.
"Until he's absolutely certain, he'll just act like nothing is wrong," Brett asserted.
"Exactly," Jinbei agreed, "Shouldn't we take him out before he gets ready? "
Brettt couldn't help but chuckle.
It seems like the fierce Jinbei from before he joined the Sun Pirates has returned.
Jinbei, confused by the laughter, asked, "What's funny? "
"Nothing, I think that too, but I doubt there will be a chance anytime soon," Brett responded.
Even though Kaido said Doflamingo is weak, he is actually quite strong.
Bright wasn't confident about quietly eliminating him. Plus, he holds power over the government, so he can't act openly.
"Anyway, let's deal with him later. The main issue right now is to improve our logistics," Brett remarked. "The Five elders is putting a lot of pressure on us, so we should first see if we can get a few more sea beasts from the Exit-Entry Administration Bureau. "
"That's fine," Jinbei replied, "I'm just curious, what exactly is the cargo that they are guarding that makes them so attentive? "
"I have no idea," Brett said while shaking his head. "I immediately grabbed a map and found that country on it after I returned last night, but it doesn't seem special. It appears to be just an ordinary non-affiliate country. "
This country is situated in the middle of the New World, specifically in the waters between Wano and Totto Land.
'Or maybe that island isn't special at all, and the government is just trying to keep it hidden from others, while the items they truly want to send come from somewhere else?'
"It doesn't matter what it is, we simply move the items," Brett mentioned.
Jinbei nodded in agreement.
If they only assist in moving items, there's really no mental pressure. They were initially worried that the government might force them into actions that are against their morals.
In short, let's first increase the logistics team.
Brett had planned to head to Water Seven right away, but he now has to finish up his current tasks before he can go.
There was no choice; Jinbei was quite busy with his teaching every day and simply couldn't find more time.
Also, there's still almost a month left until the sea train is completely ready, which is more than enough time.
Brett began the recruitment process again.
First, Neptune reluctantly set aside his feelings and separated a group from the Dragon Palace City army, comprising about a few thousand members.
Then Brett made a tough decision to bring out eight sea beasts from the Exit and Entry Administration's ranks.
This created a new logistics team.
This should be sufficient to deal with the world government.
However, just selecting them isn't adequate; they will need several days of training.
Brett wanted to ensure that the government's items would not be damaged and create issues later on.
It took a total of two weeks.
When this group of logistics personnel is sent out to the country assigned by the government, only a little over a week will be left until the sea train is fully operational.
Brett could no longer afford to wait and prepared to leave.
One morning, he went to Jinbei to take his leave.
"You plan to go to Water Seven? " Jinbei looked surprised.
This was the first time he had heard this from Brett.
"Anyway, please keep it secret for now, especially don't let anyone else know," Brett said firmly. "I'm going to meet a fellow countryman. "
Jinbei nodded without hesitation, saying, "Alright, you can go ahead; I'll take care of Fish-Man Island. "
Although he didn't know whom Brett was picking up or what his intentions were, Jinbei understood that everything Brett did was for the good of the nation.
Then he went to say goodbye to Shyarly.
"All's going to go well," She said with calmness.
That's the downside of a girl who can foresee things; it's hard to sense her worry about himself.
"I'll be back shortly," Brett told her, then he set off.
The permanent pointers to Water Seven have already been prepared, so even traveling alone, he doesn't need to worry about losing his way.
Brett transformed into a red dragon and flew over the sea.
Then, in a distant ocean area away from the Sabaody, a massive shape suddenly emerged from the water.
A bright red dragon sent out a shower of water droplets, twisted upward into the sky, and soared high into the fluffy white clouds.
'How exhausting it would be to swim all that way, so it's better to fly over. It's been quite a while since I transformed into a dragon, so I'm going to enjoy this moment and reflect on it.'
Brett was gliding above the white clouds, with clouds encircling him and a gentle breeze accompanying him. In the distance, he saw the line where the sky met the ocean, where two distinct shades of blue were completely different.
He couldn't help but chuckle.
'This must be what freedom feels like, doing whatever you like without limits.Whenever you wish to soar into the sky, you can do so; when you want to plunge into the ocean, you can explore below the waves.'
Brett wishes that the fishmen and mermaids can bask in the sunlight.
However, this doesn't mean they have abandoned their home in the deep sea. The freedom that Fishman Island desires is the ability to choose to live on the surface or beneath the sea.
Brett rushed ahead.
Water Seven is situated not too far from Sabaody, and there is a Devil's Triangle located in the center.
Brett started his journey in the morning, enjoyed the lunch he packed while in the air at noon, and reached the vicinity of Water Seven in the afternoon.
Water Seven features a unique shape, resembling a cone, at the cone's peak, there is a large fountain that shoots water high into the air.
The water that ascends and then cascades down various rivers throughout the city acts as the city's power source, which is why it is known as the Water Capital.
Brett paused when he spotted the Water City in the distance, then after ensuring there were no vessels in the sea, he transformed into a dragon and dove into the water.
Ultimately, he swam toward Water Seven.
Soon, Brett reached the shore at a spot along the Water City and donned a cloak with a hood to conceal his identity.
'Now, where should I go to locate Tom ?' Brett contemplated this while stepping into the city.
Government spies must be all over Water Seven now. They are anxious that Tom might flee. Asking people directly about his whereabouts is quite dangerous, even though he can sense people's feelings.
But there's no reason to panic. Tom is quite famous here. He is still working on the sea train project, so it's bound to create a lot of commotion—
"Come and see! The newly finished Sea Train Station! Tom Studio is going to test the Sea Train! " Suddenly, excitement spread throughout the city.
Brett thought, wouldn't this be the perfect chance?
As the crowd moved toward a certain area in the city, they quickly reached a brand new structure.
This is the sea train station that has just been constructed and is not yet operational.
The area was already filled with people, and the residents of Water Seven were buzzing with excitement.
The man who was once excluded for crafting ships for the Roger Pirates is now on the verge of ushering in a new era for the island.
With his larger frame, Brett easily made his way to the front of the crowd and got onto the station platform. At that moment, he heard a booming noise in the distance.
The sound intensified, and a dark shape rapidly approached.
As it got closer, the metal giant was racing along the tracks, its steel wheels spinning quickly.
The sea train was arriving.
"Hahaha! "
Brett noticed an airplane's head poking out of the front window of the sea train, "Hahaha! Did you catch that? This is our masterpiece! ! "
Franky, or rather Cutty-Flam now.
Amid the cheers of the crowd, the train arrived at the station, and the door of the carriage swung open, revealing a tipsy older lady who stepped out.
"Excuse me, all travelers wanting to ride the sea train please - oh no -" She turned away and got sick.
"Hey, Kokoro! You're so unreliable! " A tall, strong figure emerged from the front of the train. He had yellow skin and tiny horns on his forehead.
'At last, I get to see you, Tom.' Brett smiled.
It's time to bring some talent back to Fishman Island.
"Anyway, let's board the train first. " Tom gave the vomiting woman a friendly pat on the back, then turned around with a smile, saying, "This is the final exciting test run before we officially start! "
"Let's go through every section! "
"Oh! ! "
The crowd shouted with excitement and rushed inside the carriage, and Brett also squeezed in.
'There's no time to chat with Tom now, so let's enjoy the sea train ride first.'
The sea train began its journey, and the wheels churned through the waves. This train is set to usher in a bright new era for water Seven.
Tom was someone who had the potential to change the world.
