Chapter 77: Chapter 85 Cooperation
" Captain Xiao Yan , you're too polite. Just tell me if you need anything. I will definitely help if I can." Although they had just met and didn't talk much, Tom still felt the respect and trust that the entire Sky Pirates had for Tiger.
Not to mention Xiao Yan , the captain , there was a sense of equality hidden in his words, as if in his eyes, there was no difference between humans and merfolk.
Although the swordsman named Eric and the girl named Ayala didn't know what was going on, their eyes were full of gratitude towards Tiger.
As for the vice-captain named Eneel, although he seems to be a bit rebellious and not talkative, he is probably not a bad person since he can make this little girl so dependent on him.
This made Tom feel happy from the bottom of his heart, and he was also very glad that his brother could meet such a good captain and good partner. You know, he worked hard for more than ten years in the Seven Waters before he got such recognition.
"It's like this. We may disturb you here for the next one or two months."
Since Xiao Yan had received information from Morgans that the Navy and the World Government would not take any major action against them for the time being, he had to change his plan according to local conditions and there was no need to rush to the new world.
"First, let Tiger and you guys reminisce about the past. Second, everyone needs some time to calm down and practice. They are not able to adapt to the new world yet. As for the third..."
Xiao Yan pointed at Kuromi who was sitting next to him, and after noticing that everyone's eyes were looking at her, he introduced her.
"Its name is Kuromi, and it's also one of our trainee crew members. It's the eldest brother of these four guys, and it's also the user of the Swallow Swallow Fruit. Its ability is very interesting. It can fuse what it eats with its own body and create new things at the same time."
"What a strange ability!!!"
When Iceberg and Little Franky heard this, their eyes were full of surprise.
Tom felt like he had grasped something, but he couldn't figure it out for a moment. Fortunately, Xiao Yan quickly gave him the answer.
"So, I have an idea. I want to use Kuromi's ability to try to create a metal that does not exist in this world." Tom felt that some inspiration suddenly popped up in his brain.
As the world's number one shipbuilding technician, his keen sense of technology made him instantly sense Xiao Yan 's intention. " Captain Xiao Yan, what metal are you talking about?"
"Unfortunately, I'm not a professional, so I don't know what this metal is like." This is also what Xiao Yan is worried about. Fortunately, it should be solved now.
"But I have a few ideas. 1. This metal must be able to store or absorb energy. 2. This metal must have memory properties. In simple terms, it should be able to recover itself through memory properties after being damaged. 3. This metal should have super hardness and a certain degree of ductility so that it can be molded into various shapes. 4. If possible, it would be even better if it could be combined with living organisms. Finally, it would be best if it has the excellent properties of other metals. That's all for now."
Xiao Yan said it simply, it sounded like a fairy tale to Tom and Bingshan.
"Is it possible that this metal actually exists!?" "This is the perfect material!!!"
"I don't know either, but I'm willing to give it a try. The power of the Kuromi Tun Tun Fruit can make many impossible things possible. Moreover, I don't require that all of them can be achieved. As long as there is a breakthrough, I think it will be a great achievement and will have an incredible impact on the world."
Xiao Yan said this and looked at Mr. Tom.
"But like I said before, I'm not a professional and I don't know anything about metal materials. But you are different, Mr. Tom. As the world's number one shipbuilding technician, you may know a lot about this and can help me avoid many detours. So, in the next period of time, I hope to get Mr. Tom's support to manufacture this kind of metal. I believe that with Mr. Tom and..."
Xiao Yan said this and looked at his two disciples.
"I believe your two disciples, Iceberg and Franky, can definitely make this kind of metal. I just don't know, Tom.
Sir, are you willing to help me? "This"
At this moment, Tom hesitated and asked Xiao Yan with a serious expression .
"I don't know, Captain Xiao Yan , what is the purpose of your making this metal?" "This!!!"
Xiao Yan thought about it, and finally waved to Kuromi and asked him to come over.
"Although there are some things that the fewer people who know about them the better, but since you are Mr. Tiger's elder brother, Mr. Tom, I choose to believe you."
Xiao Yan spoke, he untied the clothes wrapped around Kuromi, one by one, under the curious gazes of Tom and his two disciples, completely revealing his true body.
"This is"
At this moment, Tom, Iceberg, and Little Franky completely saw Kuromi's true appearance.
Iceberg and Little Franky didn't seem to notice anything strange about Kuromi, but Tom's eyes were wide open with shock.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Yan became curious instead. Thinking that Tom should have the design drawings of Pluto on him at this time, he asked tentatively.
"Mr. Tom, have you seen a robot like this?" Before Tom could react, two disciples called out.
"Hey!!!"
"Machine Robot"
Iceberg was still a little calmer, but his eyes were about to pop out, but Little Frankie's eyes were full of stars. Seeing this, Tom punched his apprentice on the head and said.
"Calm down, please."
Iceberg was fine, but Franky couldn't understand it at all. He held his head and said excitedly.
"Mr. Tom, this is a robot, a robot"
At this time, Xiao Yan had already wrapped up Kuromi.
"It's incredible. I didn't expect that I could actually see the technology that existed in the legend."
Tom's answer also surprised Xiao Yan a little, but he didn't show it and just said.
"It seems that Mr. Tom has really seen it. However, we are not discussing this issue now, but the issue about my request." This is what Tom thought in his heart. He really didn't want to discuss any big secret hidden in him.
At the same time, he remembered how he felt when he saw the pirate ship just now.
It can't be wrong. Although the difference is huge, there are indeed some traces of the battleship. At this time, Xiao Yan also gave his answer.
"I can now tell you my answer, Mr. Tom. I do want to make that kind of metal in order to create powerful weapons."
"Weapons!!! Teacher!!!"
As a disciple, Bingshan subconsciously wanted his teacher to refuse him, because, at this moment, no matter how he looked at it, the purpose of the man in front of him was very dangerous.
If such perfect metal could really be created, how terrifying would the weapons made with it be?
But what made Bingshan feel a little unbelievable was that his teacher, who was originally hesitant, suddenly nodded at this moment.
"I understand your request and I agree. Starting tomorrow, I will help you. I hope we can really make this metal."
"Teacher Tom"
Iceberg was completely confused, but Tom smiled cheerfully and answered.
"Little Iceberg, in this world, just like in ships, there is no good or evil distinction between tools and materials. The only difference is their usage.
Just use their people, good materials can be used to make weapons, and can also be used to make tools to help everyone. And "Mr. Tom said here, looking into Xiao Yan 's eyes.
Although there is a desire to conquer the world, there is no ambition to rule the world.
He had seen this kind of look in that man's eyes before, so he said with a smile.
"I believe in Tiger's judgment. The captain he chooses will not be wrong!!!"
