Chapter 45 Fish-man and Mermaid
Just as Vistad was engaged in Melee Combat with two Giants, Nicholas and the others also entered the Main Island.
"What is that!?"
Simon looked at the towering giant gate behind Judiciary Tower, marked with the World Government symbol, and was left speechless.
Previously, due to the Moisture and Cloud and Mist, the group hadn't clearly seen the full view of the Gates of Justice, but now, entering the Main Island and seeing the enormous Gates of Justice up close, a sense of shock washed over them.
This kind of building simply didn't seem like it could be made by human power, not even by the Giant Race.
It could be said that even Sanjuan Wolf's height of one hundred and eighty meters was like an ant in front of the massive Gates of Justice.
"Let's go, let's take care of Serious Business first."
After saying that, Nicholas continued to advance towards the location of Judiciary Tower.
Along the way, the group also passed through the Residential Area on the Main Island, but surprisingly, these houses seemed to have been uninhabited for many years, and the entire Residential Area exuded a decaying Flavor.
And as Nicholas and the others walked, Lightning began to fall in the sky above Justice Island, which had originally been daylight.
Tap! Tap! Tap!
The sound of footsteps was very light, but in this deathly silent atmosphere, it seemed particularly noticeable.
"Who, who's there?"
The Law Hound Squad Captain, riding on a Dog, trembled all over, asking with a trembling voice.
It wasn't that he didn't want to run, it was just that the Beast he was sitting on had weak legs and couldn't run!
"Oh, you guys really have courage, not choosing to run away in this situation, truly worthy of being the loyal Dogs of Justice Island."
Nicholas's figure walked out from the Corner, his voice extremely indifferent.
In his Observation Haki perception, apart from this team here, everyone else was running towards the outside of Justice Island under the Thunderstrike.
"Want to capture us?"
"Cough cough, misunderstanding, misunderstanding. We are just passing by, just passing by! We'll leave immediately!"
The leading Law Hound Squad Captain realized that the situation was wrong and immediately spoke.
Boom!
And just as he was speaking, a Lightning Strike directly hit three centimeters in front of him.
Immediately, the Law Hound Squad Captain was so frightened that he screamed, then jumped directly off the Dog, picked up his Dog, and scrambled away.
The other Law Hound Squad members also followed suit, directly picking up their weak-legged Dogs and chasing after their Captain.
Nicholas didn't pay much attention to those who ran away, and continued to advance towards Judiciary Tower.
When Nicholas stood at the top of Judiciary Tower and looked at the enormous Gates of Justice in front of him, he couldn't help but smile.
Perhaps Justice Island was once a major power within the World Government, but now it was just a decoration, at least he hadn't seen any Combat Power above Vice Admiral along the way.
However, Nicholas was quite happy to have exchanged such an easy Mission for Benefits.
"Let's go, prepare to return."
In front of the Main Gate of Justice Island, Nicholas parted ways with the two Giants, and after agreeing to go to Elbaf in the future, Nicholas and the others returned to City of Water.
It must be said that the Pirate World is quite realistic. Almost as soon as Nicholas and the others returned to Water Seven, Livanos personally came to Nicholas to express his sincere condolences and stated that he would accompany Nicholas during his stay in Water Seven.
The encounter at Justice Island could be said to have made Livanos's heart jump. Although everyone knew that Justice Island was now strong in appearance but weak in reality, as one of the facades of the World Government, no one was willing to step on it. As a result, Nicholas directly went and broke through Justice Island, which also gave Livanos a new understanding of the ferocity of the Rocks Pirates.
The design work of the Ship was proceeding very smoothly. It could be said that thanks to Fish-man Tom's Work Overtime, the Prototype of the Ship has already emerged. The next step is to refine the details and optimize the design of the Ship's main body.
And for the Keel of the Ship, Adam Wood was naturally chosen, after all, Ships built with this Timber are known as unsinkable. The bottom of the Ship will be covered with a large amount of Sea Prism Stone after Smelting.
When the Design Blueprint came out, Nicholas was very satisfied, but Livanos was dumbfounded. As a big boss of a shipbuilding company, how could he not know the preciousness of Sea Prism Stone? The Processing of Sea Prism Stone was still manageable, and Shipwright Master Tom mastered the technology of Smelting Sea Prism Stone.
But the problem was that Sea Prism Stone was different from Adam Wood. Adam Wood could be obtained if you had money, but Sea Prism Stone, as a Strategic Material of the World Government, was not so easy to obtain. Moreover, the more Livanos understood Sea Prism Stone, the more he knew its preciousness. So, Livanos's first reaction after seeing the Sea Prism Stone needed for Nicholas's Ship was a bitter face. Although they also had some, what would they do in the future if it was all used on Nicholas's Ship?
In the end, Nicholas stated that the problem of Sea Prism Stone would be solved by him.
Soon, with Nicholas's participation, the structural diagram of the new Ship had been finalized. The entire Ship was determined to be three and a half stories, with the Power Room, Storage Room, and Aquarium on the bottom floor, and the Girls' Room, Kitchen, and Library on the second floor.
"Hey, hey, aren't you guys done yet? It's time to eat."
At this moment, a tall and beautiful woman with light green long hair knocked on the door to remind everyone that it was time to eat.
"Kokoro, don't rush, my part of the design will be finished soon."
Tom, while carefully making changes on the Design Blueprint with a square ruler, said to Kokoro without looking up.
"Tch, then go ahead and eat cold Food later, be careful not to get sick and die."
After saying that, she turned around and left directly.
And Livanos also said goodbye to Tom, taking Nicholas to eat Food.
On the way, Nicholas couldn't help but ask, "President Livanos, your Galley-La Company is really powerful, not only do you have the Horned Fish-Man Race shipwright Master Tom, but also the Mermaid Race."
Hearing Nicholas's words, Livanos's expression became a little unnatural. After all, Mermaids, especially Female Mermaids, could be said to have always been hot commodities in the market.
"Mr. Nicholas is joking, Kokoro is not an employee of our Galley-La Company, but rather Secretary of Mr. Tom's company. It can be said that if Mr. Tom leaves, she will also likely leave. But Mr. Tom, sigh..." Mentioning Tom, Livanos couldn't help but sigh.
And Nicholas, who was listening with great interest, suddenly felt unhappy when Livanos suddenly stopped talking.
Seeming to notice that Nicholas's mood was off, Livanos took out a Cigarette Case from his pocket, lit a Cigarette, took a deep breath, and then continued, "Although Mr. Tom also understands Kokoro's Affection, and we even advised Mr. Tom, but there's no way, Mr. Tom is still stubbornly unwilling to accept Kokoro."
"Uh, why is that? Isn't Kokoro quite pretty?" Nicholas was a little puzzled.
"It's not a matter of pretty or not pretty. Speaking of which, it's also ridiculous. The Mermaid Race can accept combining with the Human Race, but cannot accept the combination of Mermaid and Fish-man. Once Master Tom is with Kokoro, Kokoro will never be able to return to Fish-Man Island again and will be regarded as a Disgrace to the entire Mermaid Race."
