Roger and Tom talked until late into the night.
After confirming Roger's resolve, Tom no longer voiced any opinions regarding the disposal of the Oro Jackson.
The ship belonged to Roger. As its captain, he had the right to deal with his own property.
Tom also heard Roger speak of Tsugikuni Yoriichi. When he learned that Tsugikuni Yoriichi was the Marine who had killed Golden Lion Shiki, he was stunned for quite some time.
Later, Tom heard that Tsugikuni Yoriichi had killed a member of the World Government's intelligence organization, CP0, right in front of a Marine Admiral. That, too, left him dazed for a long while.

Exceptionally gifted, unwavering in will, and most importantly, the young man had his own code of conduct. He was not a "Marine" in the traditional sense.
That made Tom no longer resistant to building a warship for Tsugikuni Yoriichi.
Originally, because Tom did not know the true intentions of the two Vice Admirals, Garp and Tsugikuni Yoriichi, he had remained highly wary of them both and had not devoted himself wholeheartedly to the warship's design.
That was why, even though Tsugikuni Yoriichi and the others had been gone for over a week, the blueprints on his desk were still little more than outlines.

Moreover, in pursuit of perfection, Tom incorporated some non-core technology from Pluton's blueprints into the design. It was simply to make the warship more convenient to use, and one of the most important features was the Cannon Linkage System.
Simply put, the crew only needed to operate a single device to make all the cannons
