Chapter 103 The Most Idle Man on This Ocean
"Hey, bro, your tavern is really famous this time!" said a regular customer.
"Ah? What's going on?" Zhang Da was already mentally prepared.
"I heard that you captured three wanted criminals at once the day before yesterday, and they were all people with special abilities! Is that true?"
"Well... that's what happened. Does everyone know about it?" Zhang Da also asked.
"Of course, many people on the island know about it now. I didn't expect that the place where we drink every day is so powerful. It's incredible!"
When the three of them were dragged out of the illegal area , there were indeed quite a few people who saw them, and it was possible that some of the navy soldiers had some relatives and friends on the island, so everyone boasted about it and the news spread.
Generally speaking, it is not a bad thing. Anyway, everyone who should know has already known it. If it spreads more widely, it will prevent some small gangsters from causing trouble.
Zhang Da also prepared to brag to these people: "It's a headache. I wanted to get along with you as an ordinary person. Now that you all know, I won't pretend. In fact, I am a master..."
Others booed without giving any face:
"Eh? What does it have to do with you? Isn't it all Altria-chan's fault?"
"That's right, we all know that Tatsuya-kun is the weakest in the tavern!"
"Ha..." Tom couldn't help laughing, and then quickly covered his mouth.
Zhang Da also rubbed Tom's head and pretended to be angry and shouted at the top of his voice, "Meng Meng! Remember these people and charge them double when they pay the bill later!"
"Okay, boss." Rui Mengmeng responded with a smile while holding a tray.
"No, young man!" There were ghostly howlings in the tavern.
…
The so-called fame actually did not bring much changes to Zhang Daye and his family’s lives. It was just that Zhang Daye no longer dared to go out alone.
If he went out without taking Altria with him, he would always worry that a person covered in razor blades would suddenly jump out and chop him.
Although he can now cut steel using magic power.
After that, a few days passed peacefully, and Zhang Da was waiting every day to see the news that Crocodile's plan would be exposed and the Seven Warlords of the Sea would be abolished, but his wish never came true.
I had no choice but to train diligently every day, hoping that one day in the future I would not be afraid of enemies like Lao Sha.
At the same time, he would also intentionally collect information about some illegal areas. In addition to the information about the human trafficking store that had been solved before, he also obtained some information about the location and scale of other similar stores, as well as the places where certain illegal forces were entrenched.
Zhang Da also took note of it silently, thinking about cleaning up these scums one by one in the future.
Until one day, something happened that really made the tavern famous.
The sky was a little gloomy at noon that day, but the clouds didn't look thick enough to rain.
A small boat shaped like a coffin quietly docked, and an elegant man wearing a black top hat and a black coat walked slowly onto the Chabaode Archipelago.
Passersby on the street, whether they recognized him or not, all stepped back, while some brave enough dared to take a closer look at this seldom-seen big shot.
The man didn't seem to care about the gazes of passers-by. He stopped for a moment at the door of a tavern and pushed the door open.
At the request of several guests, Zhang Da also picked out some interesting news to tell. He had just finished reading a piece of news about the Red Hair Pirates who clashed with the pirate group directly under the Great One Piece in the New World and won a great victory.
Everyone was talking about this "new pirate" who was running rampant in the New World. Some said that according to gossip, the Red Hair Pirates wanted to stop at a certain island, which happened to be the territory of the Great One Piece, and there were hundreds of people stationed there.
At that time, the captain of the Red Hair Pirates hoped that the other side would give him face and have a banquet and leave, but the other side insisted that they surrender, and a fight broke out.
Many people said that he was talking nonsense. How could such a large-scale battle break out over such a small matter? It was absolutely impossible.
In fact, Zhang Da also wanted to nod and say that it was entirely possible.
When the atmosphere was getting lively, the bell on the door rang a few times.
The atmosphere in the pub quickly became quiet, and the sound of people swallowing saliva could be heard one after another.
Many people were so surprised that they made facial expressions by squeezing their eyebrows together, bending the corners of their mouths downward, and leaning their upper bodies backward to reveal quadruple chins.
"That is... no way?"
"There's no mistake about it, those eyes are as sharp as an eagle..."
"Jorakol Mihawk, the world's greatest swordsman!"
"Why are the Seven Warlords of the Sea here?! "
Mihawk walked straight to the bar, his eyes passing over Zhang Daye and Rui Mengmeng's faces one by one, finally stopping on Altria.
Altria looked him straight in the eyes, clenched her right hand, and seeing that Mihawk had no intention of drawing his sword for the time being, she made no other move.
Rui Mengmeng felt that the atmosphere was wrong and stood next to Altria. Her sword was placed on the grid behind the bar, and she could reach it from the outside.
Tom held a finger in his mouth and looked at the big sword that looked like a cross on Hawkeye's back, or rather, he was staring at the gem inlaid on the hilt, not knowing what he was thinking.
Zhang Da also hugged Tom tightly, looking for a sense of security and interrupting his bold idea, and asked, "What would you like to drink?"
Mihawk looked away for a moment and replied, "Red wine."
"Wait a moment." Zhang Da also breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he was not here to cause trouble. He turned around, took a bottle of wine and a goblet, and poured it for him.
Mihawk picked up the wine glass and shook it. His elegant movement combined with his outfit reminded Zhang Da of a vampire for some reason.
"Excuse me, what is the matter that brings the Seven Warlords of the Sea to my tavern?" Zhang Da looked at Mihawk in front of him. He estimated that he was about 30 years old now. His elegant and handsome uncle temperament was a bit enviable.
Mihawk took a sip of his drink, "Looking for someone."
Zhang Da also glanced at Altria: "Who are you looking for?"
Mihawk asked back, "Don't you already have the answer?"
"But... why? Our reputation shouldn't have spread overseas, right?" Zhang Da also quickly thought about whether someone wanted to murder him.
But Mihawk doesn't look like someone who can be used by Crocodile and Vizness.
"I just heard that there's a powerful swordsman here." Mihawk's gaze stayed on Tom for a moment, and his intuition told him that in addition to the three people in front of him, the pet cat might also be able to use a sword. What an interesting tavern.
"..." Zhang Da seemed to know who was trying to trick him, "The man you are talking about is not a man with red hair and only one arm, right?"
Mihawk nodded slightly.
The crowd behind him was already stunned. The young boss could actually talk and laugh with the Seven Warlords of the Sea! And it sounded like he had even seen Red-Haired Shanks!
At this moment, they looked at Zhang Daye as if saying: We thought you were an ordinary person, but it turns out that you know so many big shots quietly!
"So you came here from the New World just to... learn from each other?" Zhang Da said helplessly, "Is it that serious?"
"I'm bored anyway, just killing time."
Yes, Zhang Da finally remembered that the man in front of him was so bored that he chased a weakling like Creek all the way from the Grand Line through the Doldrums to the East China Sea just to kill time.
And he was not killed even after the chase.
He is truly the most idle of all the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and perhaps the idlest man on this ocean.
