Chapter 16 Big Event
When leaving the naval base, Zhang Daye felt heavy in his hands and heart. He was just an ordinary college student before and had never received so much cash in his life. This was enough to buy 80,000 Choppers...
Tom squatted on Zhang Daye's shoulder and rubbed his hands happily. Although he had no idea about the prices here, he could definitely buy a lot of things with so much cash, right?
Seeing Tom's eyes shining, Zhang Da took a deep breath and said, "Tom, don't be tempted by a little money. Keep a normal mind. A mere 8.1 million Baileys... I can earn that by working for 81 months."
At this point, Zhang Da also followed his conscience: "I am not interested in money!"
Tom looked at him with contempt. If your voice doesn't tremble when you say this, I will believe you!
…
When asked what it felt like to hold a large pile of cash in his hands, Zhang Da also expressed his desire to hold it in his arms, and then sneak back like a dog stealer.
But his reason told him that he couldn't do that, so he just needed to stay calm and walk back normally.
He also tried to ask Tom to help put it away, but this cat was unreliable at the critical moment. He was okay with hiding a few bills, but not this big bag.
Therefore, Zhang Da decided to buy more things on the way so that he would not be noticeable if he carried several bags.
This is a good opportunity to choose a few gifts for the Goodman family as a way of expressing my gratitude to them.
Half an hour later, Zhang Da walked back contentedly with his wallet and several gift boxes, and Tom was holding Chopper's favorite marshmallow in his hand.
He felt much more at ease, but still couldn't completely calm down. At least he didn't remember that there was something called bubble bag on this island that could free his hands.
After finally returning to Goodman's house, no one was at home. Zhang Da put all his things beside the bed, lay down on the bed and began to think about future plans.
If they want to leave the Sabaody Archipelago, then where should they go? The New World is ruled out first. It is better to stay in Sabaody than to go there. The islands in the first half of the Grand Line are generally the must-pass routes for pirates, and they probably won't be very peaceful.
If you want to travel around the world, you have to think carefully about it.
First of all, the most chaotic place should be the North Sea. The Germa Kingdom and the Don Quixote Family are still in the North Sea. Drake is probably still in the navy, not to mention for the time being. Hawkins and Law from the Worst Generation were also born in the North Sea, and there is no sense of security there.
The West Sea is the hometown of Red-Haired Shanks. Capone Becky should still be working as a gangster godfather on an island. However, when talking about the West Sea, the person that people most likely think of should be Robin.
Before joining the Straw Hat Pirates, Robin had been on the run for a total of 20 years, so she should have been wanted for ten years now. Judging from her age, she should be around 18 or 19 years old. She probably hasn't entered the Grand Line yet. According to her memories in the anime, the West Sea is not stable either.
Zhang Da also had to admit that he liked this character very much in the past, but he would never be so foolish as to go straight up to him, because the result would be either being knocked down by Robin's six-wheeled flower, which was very alert, or being caught and interrogated by the World Government.
Nanhai is actually the birthplace of Sengoku and Aokiji, but Zhang Da was more impressed by Eustace Kidd, whose bounty was higher than Luffy's when he first arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago. According to Xia Qi, the reason was that Kidd harmed ordinary people.
Zhang Da didn't know when he became a pirate, but he didn't want to be an "ordinary citizen" in the future.
Finally, there is the East China Sea. Garp often goes home to visit his relatives. The fact that the hometown of One Piece has been turned into the weakest sea is definitely related to him.
In Windmill Village, Garp's hometown, there seems to have been no major incidents except for the Bandit King beating up Red Hair.
It has been a while since the last time the Celestial Dragons patrolled the East China Sea. It should be peaceful for a long time, so do you want to go?
If you really want to go to the East China Sea from Shampoo, there are usually two ways:
The first is to cross the Calm Belt directly into the East China Sea. If he wants to go back this way, unless he can get on Garp's ship, he will have to row his own boat like Hawkeye, because the Calm Belt is the nest of super-large sea kings, and generally no one dares to do this.
The second way is to go to the Red Earth Continent, submit an application through the World Government, take the elevator, then walk through the vicinity of Marijoa, and then take the elevator directly down to the New World or Four Seas.
The Celestial Dragon who bombarded Sabo should have gone to the East China Sea in this way. After all, the technology of embedding seastone on the bottom of the ship to hide the ship's aura was not mature at that time.
So if Zhang Da really wants to go to the East China Sea now, the only way is to go through the Red Soil Continent, but he obviously doesn't dare to take this route.
Being so close to the Celestial Dragons, there are too many uncertainties. God knows if those abnormal people will suddenly take a fancy to him and capture him as a slave.
Zhang Da also learned from the newspaper that Fisher Tiger caused a big disturbance in Marijoa two years ago, which led to a lot more guards there. If something really happened at that time, he would probably have no choice but to kill himself.
After counting on his fingers for a long time, Zhang Da helplessly realized that the safest thing for him now was to stay in Shampoo?
If he stayed here, he would need a place of his own, and he couldn't just live off the money he had, he had to find a way to make more money.
His thoughts were in a mess. He never imagined that while he had money, he would also have troubles.
Before I knew it, it was almost evening.
Zhang Da also heard the sound of someone coming back and went out with the gift.
"Oh, you're here, Tatsuya-kun." Mrs. Molly closed the door and said mysteriously, "Did you hear? A murderer and his thirteen !"
Mrs. Molly vividly described the rumors she had heard from other families, such as how vicious Machete Sword was, how powerful the person who caught him was, and how a slap could knock Sword over twice. She was as excited as if she had seen it with her own eyes.
Zhang Da also felt that this plot was somewhat familiar, but it was completely different. Wasn't this done by me? But where did these thirteen people ? How come I didn't know I was so powerful?
Just as she was about to explain, the door was pushed open and Bayer ran in with his short legs tumbling over with excitement on his face: "Mom, Tatsuya-nii! Did you hear? A bad guy was defeated by a hero!
That hero had a handsome face, a strong build, and held a Ruyi Diamond Water and Fire Stick in his hand. He defeated Sward and his thirty-odd men in a flash! He was amazing! "
Mrs. Molly couldn't believe it. This was different from the version she had heard: "Thirty people?"
Baier nodded confidently: "That's what Grandpa Bob said!"
Tom listened to Bayer's story with his hands on his heart and an expression of admiration on his face.
How is this even more outrageous? And Tom, you were there at the time, don't be led astray by them! Zhang Da was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
However, the door was roughly opened again, and Goodman walked in with a bottle of wine in his hand. He greeted as soon as he entered the door: "Molly, prepare some food and bring some wine glasses! I will tell you about the big event that happened today!"
