Chapter 354 summary
The town erupts in outrage as people shout that Tom will be executed for building a ship for the Pirate King. In the courtroom the judge declares a special case and orders Tom brought forward, but Tom explains his plans for a steam-powered Sea Train that will connect islands and revive trade for Water Seven. The judge questions the details and grants Tom a ten-year stay of execution on the condition that he complete the project. Franky rages at the verdict and at the town's treatment of Tom, then storms off to work alone on scrap while Tom and his workers begin construction of the Sea Train. Over the next ten years the group labors through storms and setbacks to assemble the massive machine. When the train is finally finished the townspeople gather in doubt and fear, yet the workers load passengers aboard and the engine starts. The completed Sea Train, named Puffing Tom, pulls away from the island and crosses the sea, trailing smoke behind it.
