Chapter 157: People under surveillance, CPs on the island!
Your thoughts, words and actions are different in the eyes of others and in your own eyes.
In your own eyes, you may just want to do something, but in the eyes of others, your behavior is a sign that you are going to attack others.
This was the feeling that Ji Guoyuan and others gave Tom at this moment.
After telling Tom about their demands, Jigoku Yoshiichi, Garp and others did not stay in the shipyard for long. Tom seemed to have work to do. Since the other party had agreed to help build the ship, he should give the other party full trust.
Take Tsugikoku Yuichi and his team for example. All they need to do is provide the funds in a timely manner after Tom completes the design.
"Lieutenant General Jiguo, the design drawings will be available in half a month."
"Before that, I hope you and the navy will try not to disturb me."
"After the design drawings are completed, we will provide you with the purchase details of the relevant materials. You can then pay the advance payment."
"Then I won't send you off."
Tom escorted Jiguo Yuanyi and the others to the dock, and then waved goodbye to them. Tom did not trust Jiguo Yuanyi and the others and did not want to have too much contact with them.
Since the other party uses shipbuilding as an excuse, Tom will make good use of this excuse and will not give the other party any chance to inquire about him.
"Well! Let's just wander around the island for a while."
"Just treat this period of time as a vacation."
"Once we enter the new world, I'm afraid there won't be any holidays like this!"
Jiguo Yuanyi was chatting with Tom with a smile and a calm tone. But when Tom saw him like this, he immediately labeled Jiguo Yuanyi as "deep-minded".
"Half a month!"
"Hey, Yunyi, you guys don't have anything to do anyway."
"Sa, why don't you come with me?"
"I haven't been to Donghai for a long time. I'm taking this opportunity to go back to Donghai to visit my relatives."
"I haven't seen that guy in a while!"
"And don't you want to go back to Longyin Island? After all, that's where you once lived."
"I'll have the other vice admirals take care of the G-ICE warship and send it to Kuzan."
When Garp heard that Tom would need half a month to complete the design drawings, and learned that Yunyi actually wanted to wait on this island, he immediately wanted to take Yunyi back to the East China Sea for a stroll.
After bringing Yuichiro Tsugakuin out of the East China Sea, it seems like Yuichiro Tsugakuin has never returned once in all these years.
The other party is about to establish a new branch in the New World, and there will probably be no chance to return to the East China Sea afterwards. It is necessary to take this opportunity to take a good tour of the East China Sea, which is known as the "symbol of peace."
"Let's go to the East China Sea."
"I have no intention of returning to Longyin Island. It didn't leave a good impression on me."
"But I can go to the East China Sea with Vice Admiral Garp. Although I am from the East China Sea, my understanding of the East China Sea is not very deep."
"Cyrus, Yixiao, what are you two thinking?"
"Stay here and wait for me to come back, or go together? It's up to you."
After hearing what Garp said, Yunyi nodded and then asked for the opinions of Yixiao and Cyrus. Although he was their superior, Yunyi always tried to respect their opinions as much as possible.
"I'll go with the Vice Admiral, haha. I'm still a little curious about the 'peaceful' East China Sea."
Yixiao answered first, saying that he was a person used to wandering, and if he stayed on an island for half a month, he would get moldy.
"I'm going too. I've never been to the East China Sea." Seeing that Yuanyi and Yixiao were both planning to go, Cyrus immediately agreed. This wasn't someone who liked to stay put. After all, it was a vacation, so wouldn't it be the same wherever they went?
When Garp saw that Yoriichi and the others were planning to go together, a smile appeared on his face.
Tom, who was standing by, was a little surprised to see that a few navy men were actually planning to leave the Seven Water City while chatting, but soon, he became very alert again.
He felt that these people from the navy said this in front of him in order to make him let down his guard!
However, it was obvious that Jiguo Yuanyi and the others really had no intention of finding out anything from Tom. Before leaving, Jiguo Yuanyi threw Tom one of his contact phone bugs and instructed:
"Mr. Tom, if you're in any trouble, you can contact me using Den Den Mushi."
"I'll help you out if I can."
"Of course, if possible, I hope you will never call me."
Garp, Yixiao and others walked towards the port. Yunyi fell at the end of the team. After waving to Tom, he slowly left the dock.
Tom subconsciously took the Den Den Mushi and watched the figures of Ji Guoyuan and others leaving. For a moment, he was unsure of the real purpose of Ji Guoyuan and others.
However, Tom didn't dwell on this matter too much. He could only passively wait for the other party to make a move. As for escaping, Tom hadn't even thought about it. He had more important things to do in the Seven Waters City!
He has to rescue the people of the Seven Water City from the annual "Aqua Lagna" tsunami!
He already had an idea about this matter and had already begun to verify it. He would never give up his idea of saving the people just because of the possible threat posed by the navy. This was his dream!
"Mr. Tom is really a bit strange!"
"He gives me a very nervous feeling, as if he is afraid of our navy?"
"And it seems Mr. Tom is being targeted!"
On the way back to the port, Yixiao tapped the ground with his cane and suddenly spoke to Yunyi and the others.
Yixiao is blind, so he is more sensitive to the things around him, especially human emotions, which he can perceive accurately. He can clearly feel Tom's nervousness, and just now at the dock, Yixiao could feel that they were being monitored.
It's just that he didn't say anything just now.
"It's quite normal. After all, he helped build Roger's ship. He probably thinks we're here to cause him trouble."
Garp said nonchalantly while picking his nose.
Ji Guoyuan smiled when he heard this, but said nothing.
The surrounding streets are bustling with people coming and going, creating a peaceful and prosperous scene.
However, beneath this tranquility, there are undercurrents. When Tsugikuni Yoshiichi arrived on the island, he had already covered the entire island with his Observation Haki.
He felt many powerful auras beyond those of ordinary people in the Seven Water City.
When communicating with Tom before, Yoriichi could feel a faint sense of being watched. I'm afraid that Tom is already under surveillance by the World Government!
He can also perceive what Yixiao can perceive.
However, Yunyi was not worried about Tom's life safety. If nothing unexpected happened, Tom would be fine before Roger was executed.
If Tom helps him build the battleship, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi plans to help Tom a little when he gets into trouble.
I guess his face will be of some use by then!
The dog-head warship left the port and headed towards the East China Sea.
A week later, the warship entered the East China Sea. Instead of heading to his hometown, Windmill Town, Garp took Yoriichi and the others directly to Rogue Town. Their destination was a place called Shimotsuki Village.
According to Vice Admiral Garp, Long is now living in seclusion in that village!
