RBTC: Chapter 111

---

"Mr. Tom, you have to understand that staying here is dangerous. They might not do anything to you while the Sea Train is being built, but can you guarantee that? What if they lose patience with you? What will you do then? After all, those people are capable of anything."

Although in the original story, Tom was dealt with by the World Government after the Sea Train was completed because of the blueprints for Pluton, now that Buggy was in this world, if he and Shanks both became Yonko, it would be inevitable that the World Government would implicate Tom because of their connection to the Roger Pirates. He might be in danger here for other reasons.

"Buggy, kid, I can bear any consequences. I'm mentally prepared. I won't leave this place until the Sea Train is built."

Hearing Buggy say this, Tom knew that Buggy might know something. He also knew that his current situation might be very bad. But Tom was mentally prepared. He was ready to bear the consequences. Tom wouldn't leave this place until the Sea Train was built.

"Mr. Tom, I received reliable information. Those people from the World Government already know that you have the blueprints for Pluton. They will come for you after you finish building the Sea Train."

Buggy wanted to make one last effort. He could only use the reason of the Pluton blueprints to persuade Tom to leave this place.

Tom was shocked to hear the news about the Pluton blueprints. He didn't expect the World Government to know that the blueprints were with him. This would indeed make the World Government take action against him. His fate might really be as Buggy said, not good at all. Even if he built the Sea Train, he might still die because of Pluton.

"Sigh, Buggy, kid, you don't need to say anything more. I know what I'm doing. I won't leave with you."

The optimistic Tom couldn't help but sigh. But he really couldn't leave this place. The Sea Train was his obsession. He wouldn't leave until it was completed. Even if it meant life or death, he wouldn't leave this place.

Hearing Tom say this, both sides fell silent.

Iceburg, standing beside them, listened to their conversation. His face was filled with anxiety. He also knew from their conversation that Tom was in a dangerous situation. And Tom seemed to know about the danger but didn't want to leave. This filled him with confusion and bewilderment.

"Mr. Tom, why, why don't you leave this place? Is the Sea Train really more important than your life? Mr. Tom, you should leave this place with Buggy-san."

Iceburg didn't want Tom to be hurt. Tom's life wasn't something that could be compared to the Sea Train. He just wanted Tom to leave this place now, escape this predicament, and survive.

"Iceburg, you have to understand that sometimes, some things are more important than life. You have to understand that once the Sea Train is open, its significance is enormous. I can't leave this place. Don't worry about me."

Hearing Iceburg's words, Tom knew that he was worried about him. But some things were truly more important than his life. He couldn't leave this place.

Hearing Tom's solemn words, Iceburg understood what he was saying. He didn't say anything more about Tom leaving.

Iceburg lowered his head. Tears streamed from his eyes. He knew that Tom wouldn't leave this place. Even if there was danger, he wouldn't leave.

"Mr. Tom, I'll try to do something for you. I'll try to make your situation better and give you a chance to survive."

Next, Buggy was going to find someone. Perhaps that person could give Tom a chance to survive.

Hearing Buggy say this, Tom's face turned serious again. The things he was involved in, including the Pluton blueprints, were very important. It wasn't easy to solve this. Even if he wanted a chance to survive, he might have to pay a high price.

"Buggy, kid, you don't need to do that. I'm sure I can live for a few more years. You don't need to pay a price to fight for a chance for me to survive."

Tom didn't want Buggy to risk himself for him. He didn't want him to pay anything to fight for a chance for him to survive.

"I have a special connection. As long as I make some arrangements, I can fight for a chance for you to survive. This isn't dangerous for me. And it doesn't require me to pay too high a price. And it's all within my tolerance range."

The words Buggy said were partly true and partly false. He didn't tell the truth. Tom didn't need to know the specifics. This would also prevent him from worrying.

"Sigh, do what you can. Don't pay too high a price for me."

Buggy spoke vaguely. Tom couldn't guess what he meant. But since the other party had already said this, he couldn't ask for an explanation. He could only hope that Buggy wouldn't do anything stupid.

The matter of Tom was settled for now. Buggy had a plan for the future. He didn't need to tell Tom too much. Next, Buggy was going to ask about his own problem.

"Uncle Tom, do you know any potential shipwrights who are also interested in sailing?"

This was one of the main reasons Buggy came to Water 7. And if he wanted to find an excellent shipwright, he had to come to Tom, the number one shipwright in Water 7. Buggy believed in his judgment. The person he introduced would definitely be an excellent shipwright.

Hearing Buggy say this, Tom's eyes couldn't help but look at Iceburg, who was standing beside him. Perhaps he had to find a way out for them.

After thinking for a while, Tom said, "How about Iceburg? He's my apprentice. He's also one of the most outstanding young men I know."

Before Buggy could react, Iceburg suddenly raised his head. He looked at Tom with disbelief. He couldn't understand why Tom wanted him to leave with Buggy.

"No, Uncle Tom, I won't leave. The Sea Train isn't finished yet. I have to help you finish it. I can't go to sea. Franky can. You can let him go to sea with Buggy-san."

Hearing Iceburg say this, Tom didn't feel surprised at all. He had already anticipated that the other party would say this. Iceburg was like this. He wouldn't easily leave this place.

"Iceburg, I and Franky can finish the Sea Train. Even if Franky isn't here, I'm confident that I can finish it. I think you'll have a better future if you go to sea with Buggy, kid.

You have to understand that a good shipwright must see the vastness of the sea. He must also see the shipbuilding techniques of various places and learn useful knowledge. Only then can he become the best shipwright. I went through this when I was young. You've learned enough. It's time for you to go out and see the world."
