Chapter 221 BATTLE-FRANKY
"Are you going to visit Tom?" The old judge did not show any dissatisfaction. After all, he had no ill feelings towards Tom, and he was about to be acquitted.
"Yes, this boat of mine was built by his younger brother. Also, a boatman friend asked me to meet Master Tom if I have the chance." Zhang Da did not hide this matter. He mentioned it now to avoid any trouble if something goes wrong and it is discovered.
"Since your destination is also the Seven Water City, why don't we travel together?" the old judge invited.
"Won't it cause you any trouble?"
"It's okay, let's go together and take care of each other on the way."
The old judge's tone was very humble. Although he knew that Zhang Daye and his men could easily wipe out ordinary pirate groups, he was very confident in the large ship he was on and the hundreds of naval soldiers accompanying him. What he actually meant was, "I like you and can take care of you on the way."
"Then please take good care of me." Zhang Da also accepted his kind "escort", although the highest-ranking naval colonel on the judicial ship probably couldn't even beat him.
Afterwards, the old judge drank a cup of tea, listened to a piece of music, and then led his men back to the judicial ship. The three ships weighed anchor and set sail one after another.
After seeing the guests off, Zhang Da also half-jokingly said , "The first business of the Haishang Tavern was actually a banquet. What a loss."
Rui Mengmeng was clearing the dishes: "Boss, weren't you having a good chat with him?"
"It's okay, this judge is a good person." Zhang Da also thought so. He didn't know why the judges on the Judicial Island were just there to serve as a decoration, convicting people and going through the procedures.
"I heard from the soldiers that Judicial Island is an island that never sleeps. I don't know if it's a man-made landscape or a natural phenomenon." Shark Chili had obviously heard a lot of information from the soldiers.
"I probably won't like that place." The world where Ye Yan lived originally belonged to humans during the day and monsters at night. The thing they hated most was the reversal of yin and yang and day and night. Unfortunately, they could not go against the development of society and technology.
"I hope we don't have the chance to visit the Judicial Island." That place is not a tourist attraction. If you go there, you either have to work or become a prisoner. Zhang Da definitely doesn't want to go there.
After exchanging some random information, Altria listened for a while, but there was no useful information. These people did not ask about the special food when they collected information. Should I ask them myself next time? It shouldn't be that difficult, right?
What follows is normal sailing. All we have to do is follow the judicial ship, and everyone will do their job.
Zhang Da also found Perona who was playing chess with Tom and said, "Perona, come here for the exam. Today is the day of the weekly test."
"Wow... wait a minute, I'm about to win!" Perona threw the dice, and it was 1, clearly only two steps away from the finish line.
Tom threw out 6 points at once and successfully placed the chess piece at the end point.
"Ah~" Tom jumped off the sofa and did a dozen . Then he danced and threw flowers, looking as happy as if he had won the lottery.
Perona had a sad face and looked depressed as if she had bet on Germany to win for 30 million.
Zhang Da was also puzzled and asked, "It's just a loss of a game of chess, it shouldn't be that serious, right?"
Perona said sadly: "Because the prize was snacks, I lost all the snacks today to Tom..."
"Oh... so this thing called blocking is harmful to people. You should never get involved in blocking in the future." Zhang Da also casually taught her a lesson, and then comforted her, "Don't be sad too early. If you fail the exam later, you won't have any snacks for tomorrow."
Perona was so aggrieved that she almost cried. If you don't know how to comfort others, there's really no need to comfort them.
Not far away, Altria's ears twitched. Is it possible to get snacks this way? She had no other intentions. She just wanted to play a few games of flying chess with Tom.
…
In the afternoon, everyone saw the outline of the Seven Water City from afar. When they arrived near the island, they adjusted the sails and slowed down with the judicial ship, preparing to dock.
At this moment, something unexpected happened. More than 30 small and medium-sized warships of various shapes rushed out from the side of the island and opened fire on the judicial ship without saying a word.
Various weapons such as artillery shells and large harpoon guns were flying everywhere, and even the Amber was included in the attack range.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
The sudden attack caused chaos among the soldiers on the judicial ship. Although their duty was to protect the judicial ship, no one had the courage to attack the judicial ship before.
At this time, the naval colonel had a good ability to respond. He immediately ordered Foxy's pirate ship to be driven to the side of the judicial ship to block the guns, and then organized the soldiers to fight back.
At the same time, he tried to shout: "This is a judicial ship belonging to the World Government. Attacking without authorization is equivalent to declaring war on the World Government. I advise you to lay down your weapons and surrender immediately!"
But no one paid attention to such shouting. They attacked because they knew it was a judicial ship.
Compared to the naval soldiers on the judicial ship, the reaction on the Amber was much faster.
Rui Mengmeng and Brook each used their swords to block the attacks, and Shark Chili used his big toothbrush to knock away a few shells with heartache - because the incident happened suddenly, he didn't have time to choose a weapon, so he just picked up the toothbrush.
Altria, who was about to win Tom's last bag of dried fish, threw down the chess pieces and dice and rushed out of the cabin.
Tom watched the dice spinning and finally stopping at 6. He picked up the dried fish reluctantly, ready to admit defeat.
But Tom looked around carefully and saw that no one seemed to be paying attention to him, so he secretly turned the dice over, kissed the bag of dried fish and hid it again, then left the cabin with satisfaction.
What Tom didn't know was that after he left, a near miss caused the ship to rock, and the dice fell off the table, finally stopping at 6.
Zhang Daye, who was serving as the invigilator next door, didn't care about the exam. He told Perona to hide carefully and ran to the deck.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Da also looked in the direction of the enemy, and saw more than 30 warships lined up not far away, each carrying various exaggerated weapons.
Most of those warships had "BATTLE-FRANKY" written on their hulls or sails. The difference was that the smallest number was a single digit and the largest was 35.
"Prepare to fight back!" Zhang Da also roughly understood what was going on. "Shark Chili, go underwater and don't let the boat driver get away!"
"Understood!" Shark Chili immediately jumped into the water.
At this time, Ye Yan, who was taking a nap, was awakened by the explosion and ran out without even putting on his shoes: "What happened?"
"You've come just in time. Let the flag monsters help Shark Chili catch people."
Ye Yan was not a person who would drag his feet. He waved his hand and the flag monsters turned into several clouds of smoke and floated towards the warship.
