Under the shocked gazes of Tom and his crew, Alucard approached Tom’s shipbuilding workshop and calmly stated, "Can you start building the ship faster? I’ll pay soon."
After witnessing Alucard’s power, Tom knew he wouldn’t default on the shipbuilding fees and quickly nodded. "No problem. Just bring the money before the ship is finished."
"There should still be quite a few pirates on the island. Gotta be quick," Alucard muttered to himself as he walked into the heart of Water 7.
"Such a young kid, to be able to fight Gold Roger like that... truly impressive!" exclaid one of Tom’s assistants beside him.
Shortly after Alucard left, Roger and his crew arrived. Rayleigh stepped forward and asked, "Just to confirm, you are the famous shipwright Tom, correct? We’d like to commission you to build us a ship."
To reassure Tom, Rayleigh added, "Please don’t worry. We absolutely will not reveal that you built a ship for us. Even if the Marines ask, you can place all the bla on us."
"Um... that’s not the problem. It’s just that the young man you were fighting earlier has already commissioned us to build a ship. It’s a massive project. If you absolutely need us to build a ship... you’ll have to wait for over a month," Tom said, looking troubled.
The Roger Pirates were a renowned pirate crew, so he naturally didn’t want to get into trouble. But being caught in the middle, he could only speak the truth.
"Argh~~ that guy always gets in the way!" Buggy yelled, opening his mouth wide in annoyance. Gaban, behind him, quickly punched him, saying impatiently, "Quiet down, Roger and Rayleigh haven’t said anything yet."
"What do you think, Roger?" Rayleigh turned to Roger.
"We’ll wait!" Roger declared, waving his grand hand with a laugh. "For the journey ahead, a little wait is worth it."
After Roger spoke, Tom stared at Roger intently for a long ti. For so unknown reason, he suddenly voiced a thought he had kept hidden for a long ti. "If... you want to build the best ship, the Adam Wood is the most suitable."

Five days later, at a street corner in Water 7, a woman returning from buying groceries was about to turn the corner when a black shadow suddenly darted out, colliding with her and sending her basket of vegetables scattering across the ground.
Others imdiately looked towards the commotion, seeing several n, still clutching knives and guns, running desperately, yelling curses like, "Damn hag! Get out of the way!" as they ran, their faces unable to hide their fear.
Pirates!
That was the first thought that flashed through everyone’s minds upon seeing these n.
The woman could only resign herself to bad luck.
In this world of pirates, such incidents were like tripping; there was nothing to do but accept your misfortune.
However, as she bent down to pick up the scattered vegetables, she suddenly noticed another person erging from the sa corner where the pirates had fled.
It was a young man with circular sunglasses, a crimson greatcoat, and a tall, wide red hat. Even more eye-catching was the massive white handgun in his hand.
"There’s no escape," Alucard said with a smile, raising Casull and aiming at the fleeing pirates.
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
Several shots rang out continuously, startling everyone on the street.
The back of the heads of the pirates, who had already fled half a mile away, instantly burst open. White brain matter and crimson blood splattered from their heads, causing many nearby pedestrians to scream.
’Is it pirates fighting each other?’
Everyone thought, quickly fleeing.
The woman who had been knocked over also abandoned her vegetables and quickly ran with the crowd.
Alucard walked to the bodies. His shadow rapidly spread, like a bottomless swamp, absorbing the corpses.
"How many is this today? Should be enough, right?" Alucard muttered to himself, walking towards Water 7’s west coast.
Although it had beco a ruin, Tom’s shipbuilding workshop was still operational.
