Claudius nodded after listening to Master Tom’s words, and then said, “Yes, these people are incompetent, so they like to put all the blame on others, thinking that their downfall is the fault of the world. In essence, this is also a cowardly act.”

Master Tom and the others did not dare to respond, and just looked at Claudius cautiously.

Claudius smiled, pushed the debris on a chair aside, sat on it, and asked, “Can you still build a ship in your current state?”

“This…” Tom hesitated for a moment, then said, “It depends on what kind of ship you need to build, Your Highness. Ordinary ships can be built at any time, but if it is a more advanced ship, it may not be possible now. Of course, if Your Highness can give some advance payment first, there will be no problem in starting the work.”

“Since I want to build a ship, I must build a good ship. Why would I need to ask you for an ordinary ship?” Claudius said with a smile. After a slight pause, he grinned and said, “I want to build the best ship in the world. Can you do it?”

Master Tom was very confident. He patted his chest and said, “I am a famous shipbuilding master. No one can be better than me in terms of craftsmanship. Even my two apprentices, although young, are first-class shipbuilders. Therefore, as long as Your Highness…you don’t limit us, I dare say that I can build the best ship!”

“Hahahaha, you sound quite arrogant, but I like it.” Claudius said with a big laugh.

Then he paused and said, “I’m an outsider, so I won’t give you so many rules and regulations. I’ll just tell you four points. Remember, the ship I want must be big and handsome, comfortable and luxurious, fully functional without any obvious shortcomings, and strong in combat. Do you understand?”

After Claudius finished speaking, Master Tom thought for a moment and said awkwardly, “Your Highness, this ship has no problem with combat effectiveness, functionality, size, and handsomeness, but how about comfort and luxury…”

“What’s wrong? Is there any problem?” Claudius smiled and asked.

“Well… I, Tom, am a rough man. I’m afraid I’m not very good at decoration, as for the interior decoration, you may need to find an expert who suits your taste to help me…” Master Tom said with some embarrassment.

Claudius nodded upon hearing this, and then said, “That’s no problem.”

Then he looked around and continued, “But the environment here is really too bad. My ship, Claudius, must be built in the best place.”

“This…” Tom’s expression also became a little embarrassed.

At this moment, Claudius spoke up, “By the way, I haven’t introduced myself yet. My name is Claudius, Don Quixote Claudius, a celestial dragon. But you don’t have to be too nervous. I don’t have any messy airs. As long as you can get things done for me, that’s fine.”

“Claudius…” Master Tom was stunned for a moment. He had just heard this name, but he didn’t take it seriously. After all, there were many people with the same name on the sea.

But when he combined this Celestial Dragon’s identity with his own, he suddenly realized that this was the legendary mysterious CP-X boss who captured Shiki the Golden Lion and Roger the Pirate King. No wonder the people from the World Government were so respectful when they saw him. It turned out that he was a real guy!

In a flash, Master Tom came back to his senses, quickly pulled his two disciples, and immediately knelt on the ground. It’s not that he was spineless, but he understood that the Tianlong people could say that they didn’t care about these false formalities, but they couldn’t really take them seriously!

“Alright, alright.” Claudius waved his hand and told them to get up.

Then Claudius continued, “Well, let me put it this way. Isn’t your Tom Shipbuilding Company in decline? Since you are working for me, I can’t let you suffer. I will directly acquire your small company and inject new capital into you. You will be responsible for building ships for me. After this business is completed, our CP-X will definitely have a large demand for ships in the future. I will give you all the orders. I also have connections with the navy. They are indeed considering increasing the suppliers of warships. After all, they are now starting to increase their troops with all their strength, and warships are also in short supply… Do you understand what I mean?”

Master Tom was stunned at this moment. Is there such a good thing? But although it was a good thing, he was a little hesitant. The reason was that he wanted to work on the sea train project. If it was really acquired, he would not be the boss anymore, but an employee. When he was busy, he didn’t know when he would have time to complete the sea train project.

Seeing his hesitant expression, Claudius pretended to be dissatisfied and asked: “What’s wrong? Do you have any opinion on my proposal?”

Master Tom quickly said, “No, Your Highness, your suggestion is very good to me, but…”

“Just what?” Claudius asked.

“It’s just… I have an idea for many years, it’s called the Sea Train Project…” Master Tom then began to talk about his idea of ​​the Sea Train Project.

Claudius also laughed in his heart at this time. He came to Tom to build a ship, on the one hand because he was impressed by Tom’s craftsmanship, and on the other hand because he was attracted by the sea train project.

After all, in Claudius’s impression, the sea train technology was finally successful. It not only connected the Seven Water City with several surrounding islands, but also had a significant impact on the entire world. Even in the New World, there were a large number of sea trains.

From this perspective, what kind of technology is this? A technology that lays golden eggs! Not only can it benefit the people, but it can also strengthen the ruling power of the world government. After all, with the sea train connecting the islands, the speed of the world government’s military deployment will be many times faster, and the control over the rest of the islands will also be improved. It is definitely a good thing. More importantly, this is a business that can make money continuously!

So after Master Tom finished speaking, Claudius smiled and waved his hands and said, “Okay, okay, your plan sounds great. I’m a very good person to my own people. Since you have an idea and you work for me, I can provide you with a platform to display your talents. After all, if this matter is done well, it will benefit our world government in the present and for generations to come, right?”

“Your Highness, what do you mean?” Master Tom asked in surprise.

“As long as you build the ship well and satisfy me, I will fully support you in researching this sea train technology, okay?” Claudius smiled and said.

Being able to get official support from the World Government, the endorsement of the Celestial Dragons, and the injection of funds, there is no doubt that it is much better than studying the environment of the sea train in this small broken place. It can even greatly reduce the research time. He can also hold on to a golden thigh, and no one will bother him again in the future. Only a fool would refuse such a good thing, okay?

As for the acquisition of Tom Shipbuilding… Damn it, this company is just an empty shell now, okay? It doesn’t matter whether it is acquired or not!

So Master Tom immediately said, “Then everything will be subject to your arrangement, Your Highness!”

So far, although Master Tom did not join CP-X, and Claudius had no intention of doing so, he became Claudius’s royal shipbuilder and an employee of Claudius, the new boss, and his goal was fully achieved.
