The bank of the river.
Tom and Kokoro looked at the approaching ship with smiles on their faces, waving small colorful flags that they had found from somewhere, with the word welcome written on them.
The two guys named Iceberg and Franky were still a little bit unconvinced. "Mr. Tom, do you know the captain of the Sky Pirates?!"
Kokoro shook his head.
"I don't know him, but the Sky Pirates' navigator Fisher Tiger is from Fishman Island, just like me and Mr. Tom. In fact, you two should call Tiger "senior brother" "Senior brother"
Franky was stunned, but then his face showed excitement.
After all, he had just seen the bounty, which was for a pirate with a bounty of 680 million berries.
This bounty was as far away as the sky for little Franky. And such a powerful pirate turned out to be his senior brother, which made him extremely excited.
The iceberg next to him looked serious. Compared with the young Franky, he knew more and considered more. "Yeah."
When Granny Kokoro said this, she looked at Franky as if recalling a memory.
"When Tiger was young, he was just like you, Franky, and was also a problem boy on Fishman Island. It was because of Mr. Tom's teaching that he achieved what he has today."
Tom laughed out loud, a little embarrassed.
"This is all Tiger's own hard work. It has nothing to do with me!"
Having said that, Tom couldn't hide his proud smile.
At this moment, the huge Gemini Goddess slowly approached the shore and dropped anchor.
Tom, who was originally just here to welcome Tiger, looked at the anchored ship, but suddenly found something wrong and his eyes suddenly widened.
"This is the ship."
Everyone also felt Tom's surprise, and Frankie asked curiously. "What's wrong, Mr. Tom?"
Tom quickly suppressed his shock and said in a disguising manner, "It's okay, this ship is so beautiful, hahahahaha"
Everyone was a little surprised, especially Kokoro, who knew Tom best.
As the world's number one shipbuilding technician, Tom would not behave so abnormally just because a ship looks good. At this moment, a heroic voice sounded not far away, diverting everyone's attention.
"Brother Tom and Sister Kokoro"
All they saw was a burly, red-skinned fishman anxiously falling from the sky, landing in front of them, trembling with excitement.
Tiger
Tom's eyes were filled with tears at this moment. He stretched out his arms and the two hugged each other tightly.
At this moment, Little Franky was looking at the fishman in front of him in shock. His burly body and heroic aura made him worthy of being a pirate with a bounty of 800 million berries.
At this time, Kokoro couldn't control his eyes, tears flowed down, and he said with nostalgia.
"Long time no see, Tiger" "Ah"
Tiger came out of Tom's embrace, wiped his tears, looked at Kokoro, then looked at Tom, and said excitedly, "It's been twenty years."
"Yes, you were a little boy back then, but now you have become a man." Kokoro said with a smile.
Tiger couldn't help but smile happily.
"Brother Tom hasn't changed much, but you, Sister Kokoro..." Upon hearing this, Kokoro couldn't help frowning and said in pretended anger.
"You little bastard, after all these years, you still don't know how to make a woman happy." "Hahahahahaha"
This time, everyone started laughing.
Iceberg, Franky, and Frog Yokozuna were also infected by this happy atmosphere, and smiled unconsciously. Meeting after a long separation is really one of the happiest things in life.
At this time, Xiao Yan also led everyone down from the boat, walked forward, and observed Tom, who was known as the number one shipbuilding technician in this One Piece world.
As expected, he is extremely burly and his physical strength is also very strong.
Upon seeing this, Tiger wiped his tears and introduced himself to everyone with a little embarrassment.
"Brother Tom, let me introduce it to you. This is..." Tom waved his hand and said happily.
"No need. I'm well-known for the Sky Pirates. But we are. My name is Tom, and I'm a shipbuilder. This is Kokoro, our company secretary. We are all fishmen. These two are my apprentices, Iceberg and Franky. This one is Yokozuna, a very powerful frog."
After Tom finished his introduction, he put his hands together, bowed very seriously and said, " Captain Xiao Yan , thank you so much for taking care of my brother."
"You are so polite, Mr. Tom." Xiao Yan also looked at Tiger enthusiastically.
"We are the ones who should be thankful. Tiger is our most reliable partner. Without him, I wouldn't dare to challenge the Navy and the World Government so boldly."
"Hahaha"
This time, everyone started laughing.
Seeing this, Kokoro wiped his tears and said with a tearful smile.
"Everyone, let's go home and talk slowly. I just prepared some curry rice, but it seems a little insufficient." "It's okay, let me help. I'm a chef."
Freya raised her hand excitedly and stepped forward to recommend herself.
"That's great! Mr. Tom, Little Iceberg, Little Frankie and I are in for a treat today!"
————————————————
Everyone gathered together in Tom's cabin.
Tiger was telling Tom about his experiences and adventures during his trip around the world. Tom listened with great interest, and even the iceberg and little Frankie beside him were attracted. The whole room was filled with laughter.
At this time, Kokoro in the kitchen said apologetically.
"I'm so sorry, we don't have enough food at home."
In fact, it's not that there is not enough, it's just that in the past she only needed to prepare food for one frog for four people, so she didn't stock up so many ingredients. Now there are fifteen people, and since she has to entertain guests, the meal must be as sumptuous as possible. How can that be possible?
"It doesn't matter!"
Freya waved to Xiao Yan .
Chrom, who was wrapped in clothes like a dumpling, and it was impossible to recognize what was underneath the clothes, heard the call of the big sister, jumped off the sofa, and came to Freya with his bloated body, skipping and jumping.
Freya spoke as she was already very accustomed to it.
"Open a door to the ship's food warehouse!" "No problem, big sister!"
Chrom stretched out a hand and slapped the air, vibrating with the air. "Hey!!!"
Under the dumbfounded gazes of Iceberg and Little Franky, the air was actually opened directly as if opening a door. "Wait a moment, I'll go get some ingredients."
Freya said as she walked into the air door. After a while, she came out with a bunch of food. "That should be enough!"
"This is truly an incredible ability!"
Now, Tom and Kokoro completely understood what this little guy who was wrapped up like a dumpling had done. They had lived for so long and had seen a lot, so they naturally knew about the existence of devil fruits.
Iceberg and Little Frankie were both surprised, their eyes almost popped out. Little Frankie asked impatiently because of excitement.
"What kind of ability is this, Teacher Tom?"
But Tom grabbed his disciple.
Tom was very smart. When everyone met each other, Tom saw these four tightly wrapped little guys. Obviously, Xiao Yan didn't want others to know the true identities of these four little guys.
"I'm really sorry, Captain Xiao Yan , children are curious about everything." Xiao Yan smiled.
"It's okay, Mr. Tom, you are Tiger's eldest brother." After saying that, Xiao Yan pointed at the four Kulomi brothers and said.
"These are our four new trainee crew members. They are wrapped like this because of their special identities. They are all Devil Fruit users. The one who can open the door in the air is called Chrom. He is the user of the Door-Door Fruit."
"Since we've mentioned this, there's one thing I'd like to trouble you with, Mr. Tom."
Your gift is the motivation for my creation. Give me more motivation!
