Chapter 11: Naughty Child
In the end, Zhang Da didn't do anything to Tom. After all, he was not a psychopath and he would not do such a messy thing to the cute cat who depended on him for everything.
He walked back slowly and contributed a little energy to the magic circle. Zhang Da was in a good mood because he had a temporary residence and a means of self-protection.
When Zhang Da returned to the Goodman family, he also saw a little child with a round head and a bowl-cut hairstyle. The proportions of his head and body were very strange. If you must say, he looked a lot like Big Head Son.
"Oh, brother Tatsuya is back. This is my son, Baier. Baier, come and call Tatsuya brother." Mrs. Molly introduced.
"Hello, Brother Tatsuya." The four-year-old Baier greeted Zhang Tatsuya in a crisp voice.
"Hello too." Zhang Da wasn't sure how to respond, but it shouldn't be that complicated.
And isn't this a naughty kid who wants to be the Pirate King? Why does he look so well behaved?
"Tatsuya-kun, please sit with Bayer for a while. I'll go prepare dinner and we'll be ready to eat when Goodman comes back."
"Okay." Zhang Da also looked at Mrs. Molly, who was in a hurry to wear an apron, and then looked at Bayer with a big head. Is this the big-headed son and the apron mother? It's a pity that Uncle Goodman is wearing sunglasses instead of myopic glasses.
Zhang Daye and his big-headed son Bayer sat face to face. Bayer's short legs were dangling in the air, and he stared with his big eyes curiously at Tom on Zhang Daye's shoulder.
Tom yawned and didn't want to pay attention to him. Children are troublesome. Tom once took care of a baby with Jerry, but he was caught by the police as a bad cat that stole children. It really put him in trouble.
"Brother Tatsuya, are you from another island?" Having grown up in Shampoo, Bayer is full of curiosity about the outside world.
"It's not quite appropriate to call the place I came from an island, because the land area is very large."
"Is it bigger than Island 59? Is it bigger than the Sabaody Archipelago?"
Zhang Da also silently estimated the area of Island No. 59. He didn't run far today, but he could already see the edge of the island. It was probably about the size of a town.
So the 79 islands of the Chabaoti Archipelago added together...
Zhang Da also nodded: "It is hundreds of times larger than Shampoo Land."
In fact, he couldn't figure out how much bigger it was at the moment, so he just said a number casually.
"Several...hundreds of times!" Little Bayer stretched out his fingers and counted for a long time without any result. In the end, he could only utter "Amazing!"
"Well, Brother Tatsuya, have you ever seen a pirate? Do you know One Piece?" The child's eyes sparkled when he mentioned pirates.
"I have never seen a real pirate." Zhang Da also thought to himself. If he had really seen one, he would probably be dead by now. "One Piece... Are you talking about Roger?"
"Yeah!" Bayer nodded quickly, and then imitated in a rough voice: "My treasure? If you want it, go find it. I put everything there!"
"Isn't that so?" Bayer clapped his hands happily, "I want to be a big shot like that in the future! So cool !"
After saying that, he immediately became depressed and said angrily, "Unfortunately, my father wouldn't let me, and he even beat me."
Did you like Roger just because he was handsome? Maybe this kid could be saved. Zhang Da also asked softly, "Does Bayer like Roger very much? Where did you hear these words?"
Bayer waved his hands and said, "From Grandpa Bob's pub. There are always people reading newspapers and telling stories there. There are many interesting stories."
"A pub. No wonder Uncle Goodman couldn't find anyone to vent his anger on." Zhang Da also realized that it was indeed easy to get exposed to all kinds of information in a pub.
As for whether children can enter the tavern, didn’t Luffy often eat and drink in Makino’s tavern, and then he met Red-Haired Shanks.
Hearing Zhang Tatsuya mention his father, Bayer shrank his neck: "Does Brother Tatsuya hate Pirate King Roger too?"
Zhang Da also thought about it and said, "It's hard for me to comment on this. I still know too little about this world, and I don't know what Roger wants. Whether a person like him is good or bad, I'm afraid it will take many years to make a final conclusion, right?
But from the current perspective, the great pirate era he set off not only displeased those in power, but also caused many innocent civilians to suffer. This is why many people hate him. I always wanted to know the ending, but unfortunately I didn’t catch up...”
Bayer rested his hands on his cheeks and said, "I don't understand anything, but Tatsuya-nii is really amazing!"
I accidentally said too much, and Zhang Da also laughed and said, "Why am I so great?"
"Because Tatsuya-nii-san can say a lot of powerful things, but my dad would just say 'Don't talk about being a pirate' and then start beating me."
It looks like this naughty kid has been beaten a lot. We need to talk to Uncle Goodman about it. The Kapp-style parenting method is not acceptable.
"Then I will teach you to read from tomorrow, so that you can read newspapers, learn more knowledge, and then you can say a lot of amazing things."
Bayer jumped up and put his hands on his hips. "Okay! I want to say something awesome to surprise Dad!"
The door opened with a bang, and Goodman came in laughing: "Who wants to surprise me?"
Bayer sat back down in a flash, so cute.jpg
Mrs. Molly came out of the kitchen and complained, "I've told you so many times to open the door carefully, or it will break."
"There's no way the door I made myself would break so easily! I can just make another one." Goodman said nonchalantly.
"Oh my goodness, go wash your hands, dinner will be ready soon." Mrs. Molly said and went back to the kitchen.
"Got it." Goodman responded, and then greeted Zhang Tatsuya, "Hey, Tatsuya, did you have a good rest this afternoon? It seems that you and Bayer are getting along well?"
Zhang Da also nodded: "Ah, I had a good rest. Baier is a very good child."
"That's good." Goodman walked towards the bathroom and waved to Tom before leaving.
Tom quickly hid behind Zhang Daye. It was obvious that he had not forgotten what the uncle said about eating cats.
Bayer's favorability towards Tom increases by 100. It turns out you are afraid of my dad too!
The naughty kid feels happy about finding a confidant.
…
The three members of the Goodman family, plus Zhang Daye, sat around the dining table. Mrs. Molly specially prepared a food bowl for Tom, with a little bit of each food in it, enough for an average adult to eat.
Perhaps to welcome Zhang Daye, the meal was particularly sumptuous.
Mrs. Molly’s cooking skills were excellent and Zhang Da also had a big appetite, so in total they ate three servings of food.
In the end, he even felt a little embarrassed.
Goodman patted Zhang Daye on the shoulder with a smile: "Eat more to look good. A man should eat more. Only when your body grows like mine can you be qualified!"
Zhang Da also smiled awkwardly. Looking at his physique which was taller and stronger than Yao Ming's, he thought was unnecessary.
But in this world, having a bigger appetite is a good thing, right?
