At this time--
Tom and the others were looking at Rob, especially the younger Iceburg and Franky, who were much younger than him.
"It doesn't matter if we don't know each other!"
Seeing Tom appear, Rob's face lit up with a smile:
"Now! I know Mr. Tom, and Mr. Tom knows me! That's enough! Why worry about those details, being a big man?"
Tom froze for a moment at Rob's words, then laughed out loud:
"Tahaha...that makes sense!"
"Don't worry about the details, you are a reputable man! Tahaha... So, what brings you to this old man? I'm just an ordinary shipbuilder, and I don't have anything special!"
Hearing Tom's words, Rob just smiled, understanding the vigilance in his tone.
This is normal--
Tom holds the design of the Ancient Weapon-Pluton, a ship the World Government desperately wants.
Even though Rob and the others are just children, Tom remains cautious!
Especially Rob—
He's someone who can overthrow the Seven Warlords of the Sea without injury. Who would dare treat him as an ordinary, harmless young man?
It's just that Tom's worries are unnecessary.
Rob has no interest in the Pluton battleship. If he wanted, he could go to Wano Country, where an original and ready-made ancient battleship exists!
And both he and Robin know how to unlock the Pluton ship!
Taking the present from Robin's hand, Rob looks at Tom:
"Although I'm taking the liberty to disturb you, Mr. Tom, don't you plan to invite us siblings to sit in?"
After hearing what Rob said, Tom reacted:
"That's right! This old man is really rude! Tahaha... Come on, please! Iceburg, Flam, you two, hurry up and serve tea! Really, you guys have no manners at all!"
At this time, Franky had not changed his name and still went by Carter Flam.
While speaking, Tom invited Rob, Robin, and Uta into the exquisite cabin. After serving tea, they began to chat.
For this kind of mutual testing, Rob did not use lies but chose to be sincere.
In the process of chatting, he revealed his identity as the only disciple of Crocus, which won more trust from Tom and gradually increased this trust.
Having already successfully connected with Tom, Rob didn't even need to mention Oda!
After talking for a while and building trust, Rob didn't hide his purpose.
Straight to the point, he said:
"Mr. Tom! I came here this time because I want to learn shipbuilding from you as a teacher! I also want to use your workshop to buy a batch of Adam wood. I plan to build an exclusive ship for myself!"
"Of course. I won't just learn your skills; I will pay the tuition, just like I did when I learned forging techniques in East Blue. I'll pay 50 million berries as tuition for shipbuilding technology!"
"In addition, I will give you a reasonable reward for the purchase of Adam Wood. I hope you don't refuse me!"
After hearing Rob's words, Tom pondered for a long time but didn't agree immediately. He said:
"You are Mr. Crocus's only disciple, so logically, this old man shouldn't refuse your request!"
"It's just that you should know the old man once built a pirate ship for Roger. Because of that, I'm now considered a criminal. If you learn shipbuilding technology from me, it could bring you big trouble!"
Rob put down the teacup in his hand, looking at Tom confidently, and said:
"Mr. Tom, you don't need to worry about that! I believe that even if I learn shipbuilding technology from you, the World Government and Marines won't do anything to me if they find out!"
"Because - I am very strong!"
Rob's confidence came from his strength, which was why he dared to come to Water 7 to find Tom, the world's number one shipbuilder, without worrying about being targeted by the World Government.
As long as his ship doesn't resemble an ancient warship, the World Government and Marines won't trouble him!
After all--
He's only eleven years old, yet he already has the strength to crush Crocodile in a one-on-one fight without injury. His potential is immense and visible to the naked eye. It's foolish for anyone to push such a promising future figure to the opposition. Even the Marines likely want to win him over!
Destroying him while he's still young is a tempting idea, but the problem is--
Is the current Rob easy to kill?
Failing to kill him could form an endless grudge, and he could grow stronger over five to ten years, causing massive trouble for the Marines and the World Government!
Rob now has more than just a sword to protect him. No one can ignore his rapid growth!
Perhaps one day, when Rob says that classic line - "Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, don't bully the young and poor!", his enemies would do well to take it to heart. Because when Rob says it, he's playing for real.
After hearing Rob's confident words, Tom froze for a moment, then laughed again.
He said:
"Since you are so confident, the old man agrees to teach you! How much you can learn is up to you! But I guarantee I won't hold back any secrets! Tahaha..."
Hearing Tom's answer, Rob nodded with a smile. As long as Tom agreed to teach, even if he didn't plan to share everything initially, that was fine. Rob believed that after seeing his learning ability, Tom, like Crocus and Shimotsuki Kozaburo, would choose to teach him everything and treat him as a true heir to craftsmanship.
Rob is very confident in learning things!

With Crocus as a stepping stone, Rob got Tom's promise to teach him, talked again, and took Robin directly out of the exquisite hut at the junkyard and back to the small sailboat.
Then, he drove the small sailboat to the sea near the garbage factory to dock.
In the coming period, he would start learning in a new field here and use the Adam wood to build an exclusive ship of their own!
This process would definitely not be quick.
First, it takes a lot of time to learn shipbuilding technology. Second, it is difficult to acquire the materials of the Treasure Tree Adam. Third, because Rob intends to work alone, it will take more time!
But--
Rob doesn't care about this small time consumption!
His future is destined to be bright, but now he just needs to invest a little time to make his future life more comfortable, grow better, learn more things, and accumulate knowledge!
The next day.
Early in the morning, Rob came to the exquisite hut at the garbage dump and then went to dismantle ships with Tom. According to Tom, if you want to learn shipbuilding technology, you must first learn how to dismantle ships!
Although Rob himself has solid shipbuilding skills, the most important thing to learn from a teacher is humility, so he did not refuse Tom's arrangement and completed it seriously.
Half a month later, relying on his solid shipbuilding foundation, Rob mastered all of Tom's skills and refined and expanded them to form a brand-new shipbuilding technology of his own.
...
A month passed.
Rob was still learning from Tom, doing shipbreaking and shipbuilding work daily. His craft had become very proficient, and in the process, his relationship with the young Iceberg and the young Franky had grown very strong.
At the same time, with the help of Iceberg, Franky, and Tom, Rob developed the Coke power system, weapon system, and other special functions like the Thousand Sunny.
During this time—
Rob also met Granny Kokoro in her fifties.
...
From the second month onwards, Rob began to design a new boat for the three of them, and the Adam wood he wanted to get had already appeared.
...
By the fourth month, the Adam wood worth 150 million berries was finally obtained by Rob.
The blueprint of the new ship was determined, and Tom, who had fully matured his craft and was far superior to the master who taught him, and Rob, who met all the shipbuilding conditions, began to build their new ship!
And it was built by himself!
The only ones who helped him were Robin and Uta.
...
Fifth month, Rob was building the boat!
...
In the sixth month, Rob was putting the finishing touches on his boat!
...
Finally—
In the middle of the sixth month since Rob came to Water 7, a brand-new battleship made from the Treasure Tree Adam, designed and built entirely by Rob, finally emerged and appeared on the shore of Water 7!
At that moment, the shore of Water 7.
Rob brought Robin and Uta, along with Tom and his crew who were eager to witness the birth of the new ship. They all gathered together.
Da da da—
With a confident stride and a smile on his face, Rob walked to the front of the boat, which was covered by a huge tarpaulin.
Shua!
After lifting the tarpaulin, a brand new two-masted sailing ship appeared before everyone's eyes—
The overall paint was primarily white and gold, giving an immediate sense of sunshine and warmth. The bow featured two cute little angels, and the ship was 41 meters long and 27 meters high.
The bow was equipped with a cola cannon that could focus or scatter its attack, while the stern had a wind cannon that could spray continuously or burst in a concentrated manner. An external power plant for sailing in calm weather was also installed on this ship!
All in all—
This ship, designed and built by Rob himself, was no less impressive than the Thousand Sunny of the future protagonist group!
Robin's eyes sparkled, and Uta, equally curious, came to Rob's side.
She asked, "Ni-chan! Is this our ship?"
Rob nodded, his face filled with pride:
"This is our future home on the sea! Designed and built by me. It is the most perfect ship in this world... At least, I think so! Hahaha..."
Hearing Rob's words, Robin smiled in agreement.
"I also think this will be the most perfect ship in the world... Oni-chan, you're the best!"
Uta, clutching Rob's trousers and looking at the new boat, added loudly:
"Ni-chan is the most powerful!"
Rob, stretching out his hand to rub the hair of his two little sisters, felt content and satisfied.
Tom and the others approached, and after examining the ship, Tom expressed his admiration:
"It's wonderful! This ship is quite outstanding! Boy Rob, you are a resounding genius! Aren't you going to give your new ship a name? This is an important task to give life to the ship!"
Rob paused for a moment and then turned to look at Robin:
"That's right! Our new home needs a beautiful name! This task is entrusted to you, Robin!"
Robin, not refusing Rob's request, began to seriously consider the name of the new boat.
After a while, in Rob's slightly expectant eyes, Robin proposed:
"Platinum Angel! Platinum Angel! Oni-chan, what do you think?"
Snapping his fingers, Rob looked satisfied:
"It's decided then! Our new home will be called the Platinum Angel from now on! During our subsequent voyages, I will make sure everyone knows the name of this ship! Hahaha..."
Tom and the others, appreciating the name, made Robin's eyes turn into crescent moons with joy.
The new ship was built.
That meant—
The time for Rob, Robin, and Uta to leave Water 7 had come!
That night, on the Platinum Angel, Rob cooked and invited Tom and the others for a small banquet.
Early the next morning, after Tom and his crew helped Rob prepare all the supplies, the Platinum Angel officially set sail for the sea!
