Chapter 232: It’s better to run away?
Although the process was a bit tortuous, Zhang Da still got some useful information in the end. After meeting up with Shark Chili, the two exchanged information.
Shark Chili concluded: "Biznis came to the Seven Waters City in mid-July. After making a fortune here, he left with his merchant ship. It is said that he is taking his men to the food city Puch to celebrate before setting sail again."
Zhang Da also recalled: "I remember that he came to our bar in early June, and then in early to mid-July, those assassins from the Baroque Works had been killed by us.
So he spent a month rushing from the Sabaody Archipelago to Alabasta, contacted Baroque Works, and then from Alabasta to Water Seven, and even closed a big deal?"
Zhang Da also felt that this person's sailing speed was a bit fast. They set out from the Sabaody Archipelago on October 15th, and arrived at the Seven Water City yesterday on November 7th, which means it took more than 20 days. Is this reasonable?
Chili Shark gave him the answer: "From the perspective of time, we have enough time. We are sailing slowly because from me, the navigator, to you sailors, we are all novices. Whenever we encounter particularly bad weather, we will take the safest approach. Sometimes we slow down, sometimes we stop the ship, and occasionally I have to go underwater to explore the way.
When the weather is particularly good, we may stop to rest, exercise and play. In addition, we also wasted some time in the Devil's Triangle, so our progress should be much slower than that of ordinary people."
Zhang Da thought about it and it was true. They were a merchant ship doing business, time was money, and they were out here to have fun. They could go when they wanted and stop when they wanted. As long as there was enough food, there was no need to rush.
More than twenty days were enough for the Straw Hat Pirates to defeat several bosses, but they only completed a section of the voyage. It was really too leisurely when you think about it.
Zhang Da also felt that there might be no hope of finding Bizinis today: "If we depart from the Seven Waters City, Puqi Island is the second stop of the sea train. Even if we take a boat, it probably won't take a day. From mid-July to now, more than three months have passed. I guess Bizinis has already gone to who knows where."
Altria held Zhang Tatsuya's hand and encouraged him, "Tatsuya, things haven't come to an end yet. Don't jump to conclusions. Maybe we can get new clues by going to Puch Island. As for me, I can go with you anytime."
Zhang Da also looked at her: "Will you accompany me, or do you want me to accompany you?"
Altria looked away, and Aho looked to the right as well: "We're going together anyway, there's no difference."
If Shark Chili hadn't mentioned the words 'food city' just now, I would have been moved by you. Zhang Da couldn't do anything about her: "Then adjust the plan, take the sea train to Puchi tomorrow, and go to the other two islands the day after tomorrow."
The investigation came to a temporary end. There was still some time before dark, so Zhang Daye and his team went to a nearby station to copy down a train timetable, then chose a waterway different from the one they came from, and slowly returned to the boat while sightseeing.
When returning the Blues, the two little Blues rubbed against Shark Chili and Tom affectionately, so the water and meat they had fed them during the day were not in vain.
Tom seemed to be enjoying having his face rubbed by Blue, but after moving his nose, a , which involved multiple plans such as frying, stir-frying, boiling, deep-frying, roasting, and braising.
As soon as Zhang Da saw Tom's smirk and raised eyebrows, he knew that he was up to no good, and quickly dragged him away.
"Everyone seems to have gained a lot." Zhang Da also saw that Ye Yan, Rui Mengmeng and Brook were carrying a lot of shopping bags, and Perona was holding a teddy bear doll that didn't look much like Kumasi in her arms.
"Yohohoho~ Thanks for your care, I bought a lot of new clothes. Yoho~ I haven't worn new clothes in forty years!" Brooke raised the shopping bags to both sides of her cheeks and rubbed them happily. She is in her seventies and still likes to act like a spoiled child.
Ye Yan was still not particularly satisfied: "We bought a lot of ordinary clothes, but the customization of special clothes is not so fast. We should stay here for a few more days, right?"
Zhang Da also said: "Yes, we plan to go to Puqi tomorrow, and then go to the other two islands connected by the sea train. We plan to stay on each island for one day. If there is an island that we particularly like, it doesn't matter if we stay there for a few more days."
The most important thing when traveling is to follow your heart, rather than rushing to check in and take photos everywhere - especially if time and financial conditions permit.
Ye Yan was relieved now. If time was short, he would use his money power to ask the owner of the clothing store to speed up the work.
Perona was struggling while holding her doll. In fact, when she went shopping for clothes and trying them on today, there were many times when Ye Yan and Brooke were not convenient to enter the store, so only Rui Mengmeng was with her.
She knew that Rui Mengmeng had no way to deal with the negative ghost, which meant she had many opportunities to escape, but she couldn't make up her mind because she didn't know where she could escape to.
There are cute and interesting cats on this
There is a big eater sister who seems scary at first, but is actually very kind to her.
There is a perverted skeleton who is very silly, funny, and never gets angry no matter how hard you beat him.
Although there was this annoying guy who forced her to memorize all kinds of stuff, he seemed to care about her a little bit, well, only a little bit.
When on the Terror Barque, all the cute zombies will obey her orders.
Eat whatever you want, no one will nag you about paying attention to nutritional balance and not being picky about food.
She can go to bed whenever she wants, and no one will scare her by saying that she will not grow taller if she goes to bed too late.
She can sit when she wants to sit, and lie down when she wants to lie down. No one will force her to do morning exercises, saying that too little exercise will make her sick.
At that time, I was very happy every day. Now, sometimes I am also very happy, but the feeling is different from before...
So are you going to find a chance to escape tomorrow?
Well… today, since I didn’t buy the same doll as the one in Kumasi, the one who rang the gong reminded me that it can be customized, but the owner of the toy store said it would take at least three days to make it, so, should I just leave it here for now?
Perona found a reason to convince herself and raised her head.
Zhang Da was also asking Rui Mengmeng about what she had gained today. He was still a little worried that this girl, who seemed very weak except when fighting, would not be able to let go.
But he was obviously overthinking it. Rui Mengmeng showed what she had in her hand: "Don't worry about me. I also picked out a few pieces when I took Perona shopping for clothes. Oh, I also bought a few small pendants for everyone to hang on their keys... Um... I forgot that we don't need keys now..."
Rui Mengmeng was a little embarrassed, but everyone accepted her kindness, and Perona also got one without knowing it.
"I'm sorry." An apology came out of his mouth.
"Ah?" Rui Mengmeng looked at Perona in confusion.
"I meant thank you." I'm sorry I thought about using the ghost of negativity against you today.
Zhang Da also asked: "Perona seems unhappy, didn't you buy the doll you wanted?"
"It will take a few days to customize it." Perona explained, and then asked carefully, "Can I come with us to the Puchi Island tomorrow?"
"Of course, I was going to take you with me..." Zhang Da paused and said deliberately, "No, that's not right. If I take you along, what will you do with your homework tomorrow?"
"Why? You don't keep your word!" Perona yelled, "I clearly agreed yesterday that as long as I use the Negative Ghost to help you, you don't have to do your homework!"
"You don't have to do homework today, but you can leave today's homework for tomorrow. That adds up to double the happiness." Zhang Da also smiled wickedly. Sometimes it's fun to tease a little girl.
Perona was stunned. She threw the doll in her arms at Zhang Tatsuya's face, ran back to her room, and slammed the door.
Perona threw herself on the bed and buried her head under the pillow. Woo... I still hate this place. Let’s run away tomorrow!
