Chapter 247: Is Tom’s cat fur coat warm?
"I can't say how many times or something like that." Rui Mengmeng tried to recall the state at that time and said, "The move just now was just a full-strength swing of the sword, using the sword skills taught by Altria. But because it was the first time to release the power like this, I had no control at all. After practicing it well, it should become a normal move, right?"
I thought you learned a big move, but it turned out you only clicked on a small skill?
Altria said: "That is not simply relying on swordsmanship, nor is it the domineering power of this world. It is a powerful force that I have never seen before."
"Yohohoho~ That's amazing, Miss Mengmeng, can you…"
Zhang Da also interrupted, "Meng Meng can't control her strength right now. If she hits someone, I don't know what will happen. I advise you to think it over before you speak, you pervert."
"Yoo-ho, yo-ho-ho..." Brooke's smile gradually became forced, "My bones will break! How scary!"
Perona hugged her stuffed bear tightly and whispered, "She has become scary too. What should I do about Kumasi ..."
"It has become reliable." Shark Chili next to him corrected after hearing it.
Ye Yan said helplessly: "Alas, so I am the only ordinary person left on this ship?"
Just as Zhang Da was about to say something, Tom stole Ye Yan's soul-calming gong and hit it hard: "Bang!"
A wave of vibrations was transmitted from the gong to Tom's arm, and then visibly spread to Tom's body, and the whole cat began to tremble until his feet left the ground and his tail stood upright.
With a clang, the soul-calming gong fell to the ground, and Tom collapsed to the ground with little stars appearing above his head.
Others were startled by the gong, but had no adverse reactions.
Zhang Da also picked up Tom and tried to help Tom lift his arms and legs, but they drooped down as soon as he let go. Then he rubbed his cat face.
Tom raised his arm with difficulty and slapped Zhang Daye's hand away, pointed at Ye Yan, and then gave Zhang Daye a look.
Zhang Da also said: "Tom wanted to say that Ye Yan was not ordinary at all. He felt very uncomfortable after hitting the gong."
Ye Yan bent down and picked up the gong. "The Soul-Calming Gong is no different from an ordinary gong in the hands of ordinary people. It's the first time I 've seen a gong like Tom that has an effect after striking it but only hurts oneself and not the enemy."
"I think it's hard to say whether the shock he experienced was due to the effect of the gong or his own actions." Zhang Da also sat down, put Tom on his lap, and planned to give him a massage.
Today, he was first tormented by the octopus, then he was exhausted from cooking, and now he is being shaken by himself. He has worked so hard.
"Pay more attention when you are on guard in the lookout room these days. Don't miss any small islands. We need supplies." Zhang Da also reminded.
According to the Straw Hat Pirates' route, they went from Alabasta to Gaya Island, Sky Island, Long Chain Islands, and then to the Seven Water Cities, but these islands were not in a straight line.
Zhang Da and his crew are sailing according to the permanent compass pointing to Alabasta, so they will most likely not pass by those islands.
And strictly speaking, the Straw Hat Pirates are most likely not taking their original route after leaving Alabasta.
Because the recording pointer had its magnetic force taken away by Sky Island on the way, they had to rely on the permanent pointer of the Saruyama Joint Forces to go to Gaya Island, and they couldn't be sure whether Gaya Island was on their original route.
Therefore, the next journey cannot be based on the plot in the comics. We may encounter unknown islands, or we may go directly to Alabasta. It is unpredictable.
"Also, just in case, everyone should go fishing and catch sea beasts when they have time."
When he first arrived in this world, Zhang Da and Tom went hungry for five days, which caused him to become a little nervous whenever he felt that his food reserves were insufficient.
…
Rui Mengmeng's sudden evolution also brought some urgency to Zhang Da. Although he should have gotten used to being the weakest in the tavern after several months, he was not like many online writers who just lay down and do nothing. He still longed for progress in his heart.
Although daily physical training is still making his physique and physical strength stronger, the extent of the improvement is still much smaller than before.
Therefore, Zhang Da has shifted the focus of his training to swordsmanship these days. He now has good strength, stamina, and recovery ability, and even has a burst skill, but he still lacks sufficiently powerful means of killing.
Since Altria is here, practicing swordsmanship is a good choice.
It's a pity that after studying for several months, my level is still at the stage where I can only use magic to cheat in order to successfully cut iron or perform a flying slash.
However, it is useless no matter how much others talk about things that require one's own understanding, so Zhang Da also chose to learn from Zoro. He fixed a barbell plate on one end of an iron rod and used it to practice swinging the sword. He firmly believed that if he practiced enough and hard enough, he would always gain something.
So in the next few days, he was swinging the sword when he was on guard in the lookout room, he was swinging the sword when he was fishing with Tom at the stern, he was swinging the sword when he was supervising Perona copying the elementary school rules, and he was swinging the sword when he was helping to keep an eye on the heading and permanent compass at the bow... he didn't dare to swing the sword.
While looking at the pointer and imitating Sauron's words, Zhang Da was afraid that he would accidentally lead everyone to Raftan Road.
Due to the slight food shortage crisis that occurred a few days ago, everyone has taken some actions these days. For example, Brook and Altria often pick up fishing rods, and Ye Yan asked his flag monster Tidecaller and Shark Chili to go to the sea to search for prey together.
After a few days, apart from the lack of fresh fruits and vegetables, there was no shortage of fish and seafood.
One day, Zhang Daye and Ye Yan were training in the martial arts hall.
During the break, Zhang Da also rummaged through his inventory, taking things out one by one, such as candy, colored lights, and a pair of elk antlers that were hung on the wall as decoration.
Ye Yan asked curiously, "What is Ye Zong doing? Is life so hard that you have to come out to run a stall?"
"No, it's almost December now. I'll take stock of what I need to buy for Christmas so I can go shopping when I get to the next island."
"Do you still have Christmas habits?"
"I don't, but Tom does. He should attach great importance to Christmas, right?" After all, Tom is a Western cat, and Zhang Da also feels that he should think more about him.
Ye Yan asked: "Why didn't you celebrate Halloween before?"
Zhang Da was also stunned: "When is Halloween?"
"November 1st, the most important day should be Halloween Eve."
"Ah... I remember there was something like Easter, but it doesn't seem as important as Christmas. I can't remember the date at all." Zhang Da was also a little distressed. "Anyway, let's just decorate it properly this time."
Zhang Da also continued to take things out, placing a small pile of decorations such as Santa Claus costumes, ribbons and bells: "There used to be a Christmas tree, but I gave it away. Remember to remind me to cut a new one."
Ye Yan made an OK gesture, picked up the elk antlers and put them on his head to try: "Lend me the antlers for two days, I think I have a new inspiration."
"I'll give it to you." Zhang Da said nonchalantly, "By the way, do you want to dress up as Santa Claus on Christmas Eve?"
"It's too uncreative to dress up as Santa Claus at Christmas. You can dress up as a reindeer or just a sleigh."
So two days later in the morning, Zhang Da saw Ye Yan wearing a reindeer costume and Tom had a pair of reindeer horns on his head.
"What are you guys doing? Where did you get these clothes?"
"This is my performance art, a reindeer without its horns. As for the clothes, I asked Tom to help me modify them. I don't know where he found them. The labor fee is the pair of reindeer horns and a big fish that I asked the Tidecaller to catch."
After Ye Yan finished explaining, he made a few 'melancholy' poses: "Do you feel the sadness and melancholy of the reindeer after losing its horns from me?"
"I can only feel my blood pressure rising. That piece of clothing was altered from the coat I bought last time." Zhang Da didn't know what expression he should show. This prodigal cat actually exchanged my coat for my antlers?
What should I do next time it gets cold? Should I skin a cat and wear it as a coat?
Tom didn't know how he fixed the antlers on his head. He felt very majestic when he walked, but he felt a little cold for some reason.
