Chapter 138 Tips for Finding People
Neptune readily agreed to lend them the boat that Princess Otohime took on her last trip to Marijoa.
That was the best ship in Ryugu City, and the fish that pulled the boat was fast enough to escape the pursuit of most sea kings.
Neptune asked, "Don't you really need to bring a few mermaids to assist you? At least they can help communicate with Aman."
"No need. We took that ship with Princess Otohime last time, and we are already very familiar with A'an." Zhang Da also rejected Neptune's kindness.
The main reason is that Altria has confirmed that the riding skills can be used on that ship. In other words, she is more comfortable driving this kind of vehicle pulled by animals.
As for lifeguards, they are not necessary. If any accident happens, there are still giant sharks like Shark Chili. It is enough for each person to bring a bubble coral to ensure air supply.
The group boarded a large ship and set off. Neptune had already greeted the guards at the exit of Fishman Island and let them pass.
"Tatsuya, how are you going to find him?" Altria drove them to the familiar yet unfamiliar deep sea. It was not easy to find someone in the vast ocean.
Zhang Da also said: "I have two unreliable plans. Let's try them first. If they don't work, we can think of other ways."
Shark Chili and Rui Mengmeng looked at him speechlessly. Why could this person talk about being unreliable so confidently?
Only Altria asked, "What plan?"
Zhang Da also raised his foot, took off his shoes and handed them to Altria: "Come on, throw it."
Altria took the shoes blankly and looked at him in disbelief.
Others: …
Is this something a normal person would think of?
Tom, on the other hand, had an appreciative expression on his face. This was a good idea. When he was lost, he usually threw branches because he seldom wore shoes.
Zhang Da also said embarrassedly: "You are lucky A, I think the probability of success is very high. Anyway, if there is no clue, we have to choose a direction to look for it."
"Boss, are you serious?" Rui Mengmeng looked at Altria holding a pair of size 43 sneakers in her hand and felt unable to look at it.
"Let's try it first." Zhang Da also signaled that they could start throwing.
Altria threw her sneakers up expressionlessly. Fortunately, Zhang Da also washed his feet diligently, otherwise everyone on the boat would have been killed.
Sneakers clattered to the ground, and Zhang Da shouted, "Okay, let's go, full left!"
Without them actually turning the steering wheel, the eel under the boat obediently changed direction and moved forward quickly.
Although they felt that Zhang Daye's blind command was unreliable, there was really no better solution . Everyone could only disperse in all directions of the ship and observe whether there were any clues around.
The light on the seabed is poor, and the only way to observe the surroundings is with the help of a little light on the ship. Even if Altria has the ability to perceive, it cannot cover too far.
They walked slowly and steadily like this for nearly half an hour. Zhang Da even thought that it would be great if Vander Decken threw a love letter or a small gift at this time, or even a knife?
"Boss, I found something!" Rui Mengmeng shouted, "There's a ship over there!"
Everyone gathered and looked in the direction Rui Mengmeng pointed. Sure enough, there was a broken boat without bubble wrap, drifting slowly along the current.
Zhang Da also spent a second thinking about whether the wood should float to the sea surface or not. Then he gave up thinking and said: "Move the boat over!"
"I'll go take a look first." Shark Chili jumped out of the bubble film first and swam towards the direction of the shipwreck.
After a while, Shark Chili returned: "It looks like it was destroyed violently. The cabin is in a mess as if it had been looted. There are several corpses, and they look like they died not long ago."
"That's the clue!" Zhang Da said happily, "The man who could rob in this damn place is most likely Vander Decken. Maybe he just got the gold bracelets?"
"I actually found a clue..." Although she discovered the ship herself, Rui Mengmeng still found it unbelievable.
Altria nodded and said, "That means they are most likely in the nearby sea area. Let's search here first."
Hearing this, Rui Mengmeng silently took off one of her shoes and handed it to Altria.
Altria's ahoge:?
"Luck is not omnipotent. Even for me, it's already exaggerated to be able to achieve this level." Altria looked at Zhang Daye, the culprit, with some blame. She didn't want to throw shoes every time she needed to find someone or something in the future.
"Well, let's look for it along the direction of the ocean current." Zhang Da also brought the topic back, pointing in the opposite direction of the drifting ship, "The ship should have come from that side."
"Leave the confirmation of the direction to me." Shark Chili jumped out from the bow and sat on A'e's neck. He was good at observing ocean currents.
In a blink of an eye, everyone spent a boring hour and got nothing except a deep-sea fish that was seven or eight meters long.
The fish took the initiative to attack Shark Chili and was killed in return. No one knows why it targeted a lump of iron.
Anyway, the result was to add a barbecue activity to their boring journey, and at the same time fill the stomach of E'er who had worked hard all the way.
"I'm full. This isn't a solution, Boss Tatsuya." Shark Chili took out his big toothbrush and started brushing his teeth.
After a week in Fishman Island, he has tried all the toothpastes available on Fishman Island. He will soon be able to compare the types of toothpastes in the Shabaody Archipelago and choose his favorite. This is very important to him.
"Yes, boss, don't you have a second unreliable plan? What is it?" Rui Mengmeng asked.
"The second plan requires a rare item, and it may not work." Zhang Da said with some distress, "How about Altria throwing the shoe again?"
Altria said nothing, but just looked at him while viciously tearing a piece of meat from the skewer and chewing it hard.
"Okay, okay, then let's go with option 2." Zhang Da also chose to compromise, "Shark Chili, lend me your compass."
"Okay." Shark Chili pressed a bulge on his waist, and his chin immediately popped open like a drawer, and a nautical compass lay quietly inside.
Unlike normal times when he opens his mouth actively, when Shark Chili opens his jaw like this, it connects to the storage compartment in his shark head. There is no space technology in it, it is just an ordinary storage compartment, so the space is not large, and it can store his big toothbrush and some small things.
He bought the compass to learn about navigation. Although it is not used in the Grand Route, it is an essential tool in navigating the four seas and must be mastered.
Due to the magnetic chaos inside the Grand Line, the needle of the compass kept shaking as soon as it was taken out.
"Tom, give me the picture of Vander Decken."
Tom reached behind him and took out a photo and handed it to Zhang Daye.
Everyone ignored the fact that the photos had already been given to Neptune to be copied, so why was Tom still able to take out one?
Zhang Da also stacked the compass and the photo together, then took out an item from his inventory:
[Peace Star (fake): Although it cannot fulfill wishes, sticking it on ordinary objects will make the objects exert magical powers. When the power is exhausted, it will turn into powder. 】
When the fake Peace Star strengthens items, it mostly chooses the direction of strengthening according to the wishes of the owner of the item, such as a pair of sneakers that never miss a shot, a golf club that allows a hole in one, a fishing rod that can catch a Kabuda giant, and so on.
In other words, now that he can sense Zhang Da's desire to find someone, he will most likely turn the compass into a super compass that can find people.
"Come on, Goddess of Luck bless you!"
"Altria bless you!"
"Senior Bai, may you bless me!"
