Chapter 85 Coming Back Together, Surprising Scenario
'Why do you just accept such unfair treatment quietly, Mr. Tom? I really don't get it!' Iceberg held Frankie close with both hands, his body shaking with tension.
Then, the court doors swung open, and a man entered accompanied by his followers.
"Hahahaha, fish-man Tom, now that you have admitted to your wrongdoing, let's go! "
The man laughed with glee, "This judicial ship is still too slow. Just use the sea train you built. It will get you to Judiciary Island much faster. Hahahaha, let a big man like you, face judgment for your sins! "
'It's that guy again!' Iceberg recognized him as the government agent who had previously been tracking Mr. Tom. When he arrived, Tom had handed him the pluton designs.
'What a bastard!' After reflecting on past events, Iceberg realized this man was behind it all.
But it seems it's not just him; the government is involved too. Even someone as calm as Iceberg couldn't help but tighten his fists at this moment.
"Iceberg, stay calm! " Tom called out, "I'll be okay. Just look after yourself and Frankie."
Iceberg stayed quiet. Even if he wanted to do something,what can he do?
"Hahahaha? Everything is going to be okay, huh? " Spandam chuckled, "Come on, Tom, it's time to leave. "
He gestured, and the agents moved in, placing handcuffs and shackles on Tom before taking him out of the ship and to the station for the sea train.
After they left, the court was in an uproar. People were confused, asking what was happening.
They were furious, shouting curses, but it made no difference.
The sea train finally rumbled off, carrying its creator towards his fate.
Iceberg weakly knelt on the platform, watching the train disappear.
Smoking Tom, you are a beacon of hope. Now it feels like all hope is lost?
"What is happening! ! "Kokoro rushed over, worried, "Iceberg, what's going on? "
Iceberg hung his head low.
"And where is that boy Frankie? Why is he not here with you? "
Iceberg spun around in shock. Frankie who was supposed to be lying unconscious next to him was now missing.
He gazed at the departing train in disbelief, "Frankie! ! "
'That idiot! How can I explain this to Mr. Tom?'
On the sea, a small boat sped along, getting closer to the route leading to Judiciary Island from the sea train.
A frog was manning the boat, while a man sat at the front, preparing his weapons.
The frog looked anxious, meanwhile, the man's expression was determined.
"Faster! We must bring Mr. Tom back! ! "
"I'm afraid we can't get Mr. Tom back. "
A different voice interrupted, and Frankie turned around in surprise. The frog was unable to talk, he was the only person on the vessel.
Then he noticed a man in a black cloak emerging from the ocean and taking a seat on the boat.
"It's you! " Frankie recognized the person. 'It is the man who had spoken with Mr. Tom that evening!'
"Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Brett. " Brett removed his hood, exposing his actual face, "He's a fish-man. This time he has come to bring Mr. Tom back to Fish-Man Island. "
"Fish-Man Island? " Frankie was surprised for a moment, "Mr. Tom's home? "
"I'll save Mr. Tom now. You should return and prepare first, then rejoin us to go to Fish-Man Island. "
Unlike the original story, if Tom goes missing, the government will not allow his two apprentices to go free.
"What are you saying! " Frankie was momentarily confused, then said with anger, "Why should I trust you! "
'Even though this person might be Mr. Tom's ally, but——'
"That's enough. " Brett waved his right hand lightly, and a water blade shot out with a swish, ripping through the sea, creating a long fissure spanning hundreds of meters.
Frankie was taken aback. 'Are fish-men truly such a powerful race? I previously thought that Mr. Tom's unusual power was impressive, but this guy's strength is even more astonishing!'
Then, Frankie suddenly flipped over and knelt in front of Brett, placing his forehead against the deck of the boat.
"Please, you have to save Mr. Tom! ! " Tears streamed down unconsciously.
'Mr. Tom, there is hope.' The man who was like a father figure to him, could be rescued.
"Um."Brett agreed with a nod.
In the distance, the sea train was already chugging along.
Inside one of the sea train's cars, Spandam was laughing maniacally.
"Hahahaha, now you see the results of refusing me! Fishman Tom! " The overly proud grin twisted his face somewhat, resembling a clown with exaggerated expressions.
"But if you sincerely hand over Pluton's blueprints now, I may consider letting you go! "
"I told you I don't know what you're talking about! " Tom sat relaxed on the ground, casually saying, "I only have the design of the sea train, so it doesn't matter if I give it to you."
"Stop pretending, you disgusting fish-man bastard! You think I am joking! Let me teach you a lesson ! " Spandam yelled and rushed forward, then began to punch and kick Tom.
but—
Tom didn't even flinch.
'Is this guy giving me a massage?' He even questioned this in his thoughts.
The agents in the car couldn't help but turn their heads.
This officer truly doesn't recognize his own limitations.
After some time of hitting, Tom remained unharmed, but Spandam was out of breath. He was sprawled on the ground, breathing heavily like a dog.
"Why are you guys just standing there? Making it harder for me to deal with this guy! Move!" Spandam shouted in frustration.
The agents nodded and got ready to act.
At that moment, a strong breeze unexpectedly rushed through the car and blew up from below.
Both Spandam and the agents lost consciousness, their eyes rolling back.
Tom also felt a bit wobbly and dizzy.
"What is happening? " he wondered before he shook his head vigorously to stay awake.
Then, a man leaped into the car as the window was opened. "Looks like I arrived just in time. "
"So it seems" Tom couldn't help but laugh.
Brett gazed at Spangdam and the agents who were sprawled on the ground.
While it's still unclear exactly how to manage the direction in which his Conquer's Haki spreads, there are still ways to limit its effects.
Agents in the other compartments were unaware of the situation, Brett continued to listen to their conversations.
Naturally, the agents in this carriage also lost consciousness immediately and had no idea what was happening.
Brett nonchalantly lifted his foot and snapped Spangdam's neck. Creck—
'This guy is more bothersome than Momonosuke and Oden; it's best for him to die here.'
Tom remained silent. He snapped the chains binding him and got to his feet.
Tom's unusual strength is greater than that of typical fishmen, so the chains couldn't hold him back at all.
"Are we just going to leave? " Brett inquired.
"Yes," Tom replied with a nod. "I don't want to harm the Smoking Tom."
Brett agreed, so they quietly made their exit.
Then, they slipped away silently, and the sea train continued its noisy journey.
Being a fishman, Tom was able to leave quickly, even without a vessel. He took Brett to a specific place they had agreed on.
"Frankie! What are you planning to do? "
A small boat sped across the water near Water Seven. It was filled with belongings, and a frog remained at the front of the boat. Iceberg grasped Frankie's hand and shouted.
"Where did you dash off to just now? What's with all the stuff? Are you frightened and looking to flee Water Seven? "
Frankie replied calmly, "I've already informed Kokoro. She'll leave with her family later. Let's head out first. "
"So what's going on? What did you do? "Iceberg appeared puzzled. He didn't grasp what had happened at all.
"We've arrived," Frankie said, looking thrilled.
Ahead of the boat lay an deserted island with a lighthouse and some reefs.
"Is this it? Is our destination here? " Iceberg looked confused, "What's here—"He suddenly went still.
A man stepped out of the abandoned lighthouse.
"Hahahaha, Frankie, Iceberg, what are you waiting for? Prepare yourself to embark on an exciting new journey! ! "
Tears flowed freely down their faces.
"Yes, Mr. Tom! ! "
Later, in Mary Geoise.
"What? Tom has vanished! ! "
Saint Mars spoke into the transponder snail, clearly furious and in disbelief.
"I apologize, all the agents in the carriage where Tom was held suddenly lost consciousness. Spandam was even killed. They were unaware of anything unusual until they reached Judicial Island," replied the voice on the other end.
"Is this due to Conquer's haki? Or is it some kind of poison gas? Damn it, who is responsible for this? "
Saint Mars continued, "What about Tom's two pupils? "
"They have disappeared without a trace. A few witnesses reported seeing them leave for the ocean, but their current location is unknown. "
"Darn it! ! "The angry Saint Mars said, "Why are you still on the line! Go search the sea thoroughly and find them! ! "
"Yes! "The call ended on that side.
"Fuck! Who is behind this mess! " Saint Mars continued to express his frustration.
"Set that issue aside for now; there's a new problem! ! " Saint Ju Peter stormed in, visibly upset.
In a certain part of the sky above paradise, a red dragon soared ahead.
Tom and his students were seated on its back, using clouds to cushion them and prevent them from falling.
"Woahahaha, what is this? It looks amazing! "
Frankie looked around in excitement and cheered, "Brett, you look so cool! ! "
"This skill is a secret, so please keep it private," Brett replied.
Without this form, it would be impossible to swiftly take them back to Fish-Man Island.
"We understand," Iceberg nodded in agreement. He is familiar with the name, Kaido the Beast.
Traveling onward until they neared the Sabaody Archipelago, Brett descended before diving into the ocean.
"Wow! ! " Frankie shouted.
But then a bubble formed around Brett, encasing them all inside.
"It's incredible that you have such an ability, Mr. Brett! " Iceberg remarked with genuine admiration.
It's impressive for someone who is obviously an devil fruit userto navigate freely underwater.
"It isn't that impressive" Brett modestly replied. After all, this ability also came from Vegapunk.
"What's happened to Fish-Man Island now, Brett? " Tom asked, looking forward to the answer. "I haven't been there in many years. "
"It should meet your expectations," Brett smiled.
The present Fish-Man Island has certainly seen significant transformations from what it used to be.
BLU BLU BRU.
While racing through the deep sea, the transponder snail suddenly rang. Brett conjured a cloud to grab the transponder snail and answered it.
"It's me," he said.
"Bright, an unexpected emergency has arisen! " Jinbei's serious voice came through the line.
"The Celestial Dragons are approaching! "
