Chapter 24: A Conversation with Roger
Hearing Brook's serious introduction, sniper Silva and fish-man Tom were momentarily stunned.
"Captain Brook, how could I possibly be the world's greatest shipwright? Don't joke around with me!"
Tom quickly waved his hands, his voice humble yet carrying a hint of earnestness as he laughed heartily.
"Trust me, Tom. You're going to be the greatest shipwright in the world one day!"
Brook chuckled, thinking about the Pluton blueprints. If only there had been an ancient language expert to translate them, he might have already started researching Pluton. Still, even without translation, the ship designs would undoubtedly be invaluable to a master shipwright like Tom.
In the future, even Franky had studied those blueprints. Before Nico Robin ever got a chance to read them, Franky had taken the initiative to burn them. Yet in the end, he still managed to build the Thousand Sunny—an exceptional ship with extraordinary capabilities.
Clearly, even without understanding ancient texts, skilled shipwrights could gain immense insight and inspiration from the Pluton blueprints.
"..."
"Heh~ Captain, with so many 'world's greatest' on this ship, what kind of 'world's greatest' am I?"
Shakky smirked, exhaling a delicate puff of smoke as she elegantly lit a lady's cigarette. Wisps of smoke curled in the air as she eyed Brook, who was clearly just throwing around grand titles.
"Antonio is the world's greatest intelligence broker. As for you, Shakky..." Brook grinned. "You're definitely going to be the world's greatest swindling businesswoman, hahaha!"
