Chapter 243 It's You
"Thanks to your help this time." Lieutenant General Gion ordered his subordinates to take Diamante and Buffalo away.
Zhang Da also waved his hand: "Don't be so polite, we are already acquaintances, just don't deduct our reward."
"Eh? Isn't it voluntary?" Lieutenant General Gion looked surprised and aggrieved, "I gave you two pairs of precious seastone handcuffs."
Zhang Da also knew she was acting when he saw her expression, and suddenly realized, "Oh, yes, thank you for reminding me, remember to return the seastone handcuffs to me."
Lieutenant General Gion put his hands on his hips and said angrily, "Tatsuya-chan, you are still as unlovable as before."
"Don't you have any dignity in front of your subordinates?"
"Why do you have to maintain your dignity? Isn't this good enough?" Lieutenant General Gion cast a coquettish glance at the female soldiers she brought with her.
"That's great!" Several female soldiers who were nearby responded with flying kisses with a smile.
Zhang Da was also puzzled . Is it really okay for a lieutenant general to act so cute in front of his subordinates? But thinking about Garp's expression, he felt relieved.
It doesn't matter what he is like in normal times, as long as he is not ambiguous in a fight. Not everyone can be as majestic as Lord Buggy in front of his subordinates.
"By the way, it seems that there are a few more people in your team. Would you like to introduce them?" Lieutenant General Gion had never seen Ye Yan, Brook and Perona in the tavern before.
When she first arrived here, she noticed that the little girl playing with Tom was a person with special abilities, and that skeleton didn't look like an ordinary person at all. As for the boy with the teardrop mole, she couldn't tell anything for the time being, but she thought he must be no simple person either.
There is nothing wrong with a brief introduction, but there are some things that cannot be said: "This is the night watchman Ye Yan, who is responsible for keeping watch on the ship."
"Hello." Ye Yan simply greeted him, wondering if he should make a navy uniform. That cape looked pretty cool, but... he didn't understand, so he asked, "Excuse me, can I wear a navy uniform?"
"You like the navy uniform? Just join the navy." Finally, there is someone in this group who is interested in the navy, but Vice Admiral Gion feels that this will not go smoothly.
"No, actually I like performance art, and I just thought of an idea called 'Sad Sentinel', which I think would be pretty good."
What on earth was this kid thinking? Vice Admiral Gion could only stop him and said, "Please don't pretend to be a marine in public."
So it's okay if we don't do it in public? Ye Yan made an OK gesture to show that he understood.
Zhang Daye continued to introduce, "This is Brooke, a musician who got lost. We are here to take him somewhere."
"Yohohoho~ Good afternoon, beautiful Miss Gion. Nice to meet you. Could you please let me see..." Brooke ducked his head to dodge Zhang Tatsuya's friendly punch and finally finished his words, "...your dick?"
"You are courting death, how dare you tease a Vice Admiral!" Zhang Daye grabbed Brook's neck and banged his head wildly, "Vice Admiral Gion, don't mind it, we are teaching this guy a lesson."
Vice Admiral Gion was stunned at first, then she started laughing. She was not a shy girl who would get angry easily. When she heard this, she flirted with Brook and said, "If Mr. Brook joins the navy, I may consider it~"
"Yohoho~ That's such a pity, I have an important appointment to fulfill." Although Brooke couldn't straighten his back because his neck was hooked, he still had to pretend to be elegant.
"The one playing with Tom over there is Perona, a homeless child." Zhang Da also watched Tom and her playing with sand, and felt that Perona's skills were quite poor, and all she made was a pile of sand. In comparison, the castle made by Tom was simply a work of art.
"Homeless?" Lieutenant General Gion looked at Perona and thought about something.
"Big sister, are you planning to steal our girls again?"
"Stingy." Lieutenant Admiral Gion ignored Zhang Daya and went to chat with Altria for a while. He waited for her subordinates to deliver Diamante's bounty and the replacement seastone handcuffs , and this time he was ready to leave.
"By the way, Tatsuya-chan, you should have passed through the Devil's Triangle. Have you seen the former Shichibukai Moria?" Vice Admiral Gion asked as if he suddenly remembered.
"Moonlight Moria?" Zhang Da had already thought of an excuse. "The newspaper said he died in an internal conflict. Now that I think about it, it's a good thing that we can safely pass through that sea area, right?"
"I feel like you're playing dumb, Tatsuya-chan."
"Impossible. The fortune teller said that my biggest weakness is that I can't pretend to be confused."
"Heh..." Lieutenant General Gion smiled, waved goodbye to everyone, and finally left a sentence:
"I think the little girl named Perona would look good with a new hairstyle and style. Why not give it a try? At worst, you can change it back after a while."
…
Woohoo——
The sea train whistled and thick smoke came out of its chimney, carrying Vice Admiral Gion and her subordinates away from Saint Prudent.
"Exposed?" Zhang Da thought about what Vice Admiral Gion said before he left, and glanced at Perona, "No way? If Absalom and Hogback are on file with the Navy, it's possible, but Perona is so young, it's impossible, right?"
"It's not necessarily a record-keeping issue." Ye Yan said, "When we left, weren't there still a lot of people on the island looking for treasure? Maybe the investigators sent by the World Government had contact with them? I guess many of those people have been tormented by Perona's abilities."
Shark Chili agreed, "It's possible, but it seems that Vice Admiral Gion doesn't intend to pursue the matter. He just wants us to keep a low profile. Maybe they haven't got the exact information either."
Rui Mengmeng asked: "Do you want to help Perona change her hairstyle?"
Zhang Da also nodded: "Let's change it. Vice Admiral Gion has said so, so we should give her some face and try a few more to find one she likes... Mengmeng, you can do it, right?"
Rui Mengmeng said somewhat awkwardly: "I... can only do something as simple as a ponytail."
"Uh, it's okay. Altria should be able to do it. She can even do such a complicated hairstyle." Speaking of which, Zhang Da has never seen how Altria combs her hair.
At this time, Ye Yan raised his hand: "Well, I know a lot of hairstyles for girls."
"Don't look at me with such weird eyes. As a performance artist, it's not like I haven't tried dressing up as a woman before. It's reasonable for me to have mastered some techniques."
Zhang Da also thought about it and it was true. Ye Yan was a tough guy who could wear a maid outfit and work in a coffee shop. It seemed normal for her to know how to do a few hairstyles. You are worthy of it.
"Then it's settled." Zhang Da also picked up the box containing 99 million Baileys in bounty, "We have enough funds, let's go to the next stop, Saint Poplar!"
Rui Mengmeng reminded: "Boss, the sea train has been taken away by Gionchu."
"…" I should have taken a ride just now! Zhang Da was also embarrassed and said, "I thought about it. I'm busy dealing with Diamante today. I haven't even had a good look around Saint Pruett yet. Let's go tomorrow."
