Chapter 160: Leading People to Goodness Zhang Daye
"Boss, we caught two more thieves today, but unfortunately there is no reward." Rui Mengmeng pointed to the yard to indicate that the people were tied up outside.
"I'll go check it out." Zhang Da also walked towards the yard, "Oh, yes, your cotton candy and shark chili."
Of course everyone gets a share of the delicious food. Tom and Altria now each hold one in their hands and are eating happily, taking a bite on the left and right.
However, Shark Chili refused: "It's not dessert time now. Extra sweets are bad for your teeth. The same goes for you guys. Remember to rinse your mouth after eating."
Several people nodded in unison, and only Zhang Da wanted to complain. Is it really a good idea to apply the common sense of human teeth protection to steel teeth?
Lifting the door curtain and entering the backyard, they saw the two thieves tied together back to back with their mouths blocked. They fell into different traps.
One of them had a nail about an inch long stepped on his foot, which has not been removed yet. The other one had his foot hit by a mousetrap, and half of his foot was visibly red and swollen, and even his shoe was red and swollen as well.
Although the two men were in great pain, they were relieved because they saw that in addition to mousetraps and nails, there were also caltrops, large animal traps, and even a landmine in the corners.
Tom once buried mines to protect his cheese from being stolen by Jerry, but unfortunately he stepped on them later.
The two little thieves were in tears. What was the point? It was just a little bit of gold at home. Why did they make it look like a war trench?
Zhang Da also squatted in front of the two people: "Does it hurt?"
"Hmm!" The two people nodded.
It must have hurt. Not to mention the mousetrap, even the nails in Tom's world were so painful that even the big dog Spike couldn't bear it after stepping on them. He could only sit there, cover his face and cry.
"Will you dare to be a thief again in the future?"
The two men shook their heads frantically. It was hard to say whether they were thieves or not, but at least they would never dare to come to this tavern again. They stepped on a nail today, what if they stepped on a landmine tomorrow?
"Considering your good attitude in admitting your mistakes..." Zhang Da also grabbed a foot and pulled out the nail.
"Ouch!!!" The man was in so much pain that cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Oh, sorry, I should have told you in advance." Zhang Da also put the nail back in - he swore that he did not mean to torture anyone. He had been with Tom for so long and was more or less affected by him.
The person who was stabbed by the nail again was almost crying. What kind of devil is this!
"Uh... well, I didn't think it through just now. Should I help you pull it out again now?"
"Wuwuwu..." The person who stepped on the nail shook his head frantically, his eyes full of pleading. He probably wanted to say, please let me go, I will never dare to do it again.
A little awkward, Zhang Da also turned to another person and said, "Then I will help you take down the mousetrap?"
The other person shook his head even more violently in horror. Isn’t it enough to torture one person?
"Well, forget it. I'll hand you over to the sheriff later. Don't cause any trouble."
The two nodded very obediently. They wished they could stay away from this devil.
Today is also a day to guide people to do good, so Zhang Da turned and left.
For those who attempted theft and there was no reward, they would not be chopped on the spot. It would be enough to beat them up and hand them over to the sheriff. However, after the commotion just now, Zhang Da felt a little embarrassed to beat them, so he let it be.
The sheriff in charge of 59GR has been particularly nice to Zhang Daye recently, because the petty thieves, illegal vendors, and hooligans on the island have all been frightened by Zhang Daye.
These guys who usually refused to obey the rules began to curry favor with the sheriff one by one. In addition to giving him a little extra income that was only implied, he also gained tangible political achievements.
The sheriff was a wise man and knew where all this came from, so he treated the people in the tavern like family members.
After lunch
"I always feel like I've become the local tyrant and bully in this town. Even the officials are subservient to me." Zhang Da also muttered to himself as he watched the sheriff dragging the two thieves away.
"Mr. Bully, please hand over the girl Leah-chan whom you kidnapped." The slightly mischievous voice of General Gion sounded from the other side.
Zhang Da also turned around and said, "Isn't it bad to eavesdrop on other people's conversations?"
"Sorry, sorry, I just happened to hear it." Lieutenant General Gion blinked , "Could it be that what just happened was a little wish deep in Tatsuya-chan's heart, the kind that cannot be revealed to others?"
"Who would have such a wish?" Zhang Da said helplessly, "Please come in."
Vice Admiral Gion greeted Shark Chili and Rui Mengmeng naturally, then sat next to Altria and started chatting with her, without any awkwardness at all.
Zhang Daye hesitated for a moment and finally asked, "Lieutenant General Gion, we want some seastone handcuffs. Is there any way?"
Gion said cheerfully, "Yes, just join the navy. With your potential, you can not only get handcuffs, but also apply for special seastone weapons."
Zhang Da also looked at her: "You also know that this is not the answer I want, right?"
"But this is the answer I want~" Vice Admiral Gion smiled, then put away his joking expression, "Actually, it's okay for me to give you one or two sets with my authority, but there must be a reasonable reason. After all, it's not my own thing, I can't just say I'm giving it to a friend."
"Reasons..." Zhang Da also thought about it, "For example, we have arrested a lot of bounty criminals recently?"
Lieutenant General Gion frowned slightly: "That's probably what you mean, but it doesn't seem to be enough. There are bounty hunters who are more diligent than you."
"For example, in order to assist a certain vice admiral of the navy, we provided important information, and now we are very likely to be targeted by the notorious Don Quixote Pirates. We are so scared that we can't eat or sleep well. I heard that all of them are very strange and have special abilities, so we want a few seastone handcuffs for self-defense?"
Zhang Da also used his sarcastic and pitiful skills.
Gion could tell that Zhang Da was teasing her, so she pointed at Altria who was wiping her mouth and Tom who was snoring on the table, and said with a smile, "Is this what you mean by not eating well and not sleeping well?"
"Well... it's because I don't eat well and get hungry easily, so I need to eat snacks. I can't sleep well at night, so I need to make up for the sleep during the day. It makes sense." Zhang Da was a little stuck and didn't even believe what he said.
"Okay, okay, you're off." In fact, Vice Admiral Gion had already agreed when Zhang Tatsuya mentioned the matter of Doflamingo, because their navy's failure to capture the Don Quixote family might indeed cause trouble for Zhang Tatsuya and the others, so this was considered a little compensation.
"I will send someone to deliver the things, but if you really encounter someone from the Don Quixote family, remember not to be impulsive and contact us at any time."
"Okay, okay." Zhang Da also agreed happily. If anyone from the Don Quixote family comes to cause trouble, I will definitely advise them not to be impulsive.
"Then Liya-chan..." Gion showed off the sword Konpira on his waist, "Why don't we have a competition while we have time?"
"Okay, where to?" Altria had no objection.
Lieutenant General Gion said, "I have to go back to the headquarters soon, why don't we stay in the courtyard?"
Altria nodded: "Okay."
Zhang Da also remembered the last time Altria and Hawkeye competed, the slashes flying all over the field: " Hey, do you want to tear down the tavern?"
"Don't worry, Tatsuya-chan, this is just a competition, not a life-and-death duel. We will be more restrained." Gion gave him a wink.
Zhang Da was not shocked either, he just felt sorry for the pub.
