Chapter 26 Zhang Da also decided to give him a favor
There was no vision of tearing the sky and clearing the clouds like in the domineering color showdown in the anime, and the sword in Shanks' hand did not turn black. The two of them just fought each other like ordinary swordsmen.
If the Wind King's barrier had not disappeared and the true face of the sword in Altria's hand had not been revealed, Zhang Da might have thought so too.
Tom had calmed down by now, his hair messed up by the wind. The red-haired guy in front of him seemed a little scary, and was not on the same level as the big fool they took to exchange for money.
Tom has always thought of himself as an ordinary cat who is afraid of death. Even though his owner said he was immortal, he always believed that he was lucky to be alive. Moreover, even if he was really immortal, it would still hurt if he was beaten.
"It is indeed a sword. I'm sorry, little girl. I couldn't help but chop it back when I felt someone was pointing a sword at me. But it's really impolite to point the tip of a sword at someone." Shanks didn't seem to have any hostility. After seeing the weapon in Altria's hand, he put away the knife and smiled. However, he couldn't tell for a while whether the sword hidden by the sword was the ability of the fruit or a special swordsmanship.
Altria still pointed her sword at him, with a faint golden glow on the sword: "Would someone who wantonly vents his own aura care about manners?"
"Hahaha, I just didn't want to make too much noise. It seems like I might have gone too far." Shanks put his hands behind his head and grinned, "The guy over there seems to know me?"
Zhang Da also nodded: "Red-Haired Shanks, I just saw the report about you entering the Grand Line last month, but I didn't expect to reach the Sabaody Archipelago so soon."
Shanks smiled and said, "I'm just passing by and came to see someone. You don't look like you guys are from the navy or bounty hunters. Why don't you give me some face and leave it at that?"
"Oh, I'll give you face then." Is it shameful to give face to Shanks? Zhang Da also thinks it is not shameful, and it is more like knowing the current situation.
But he still had to respect his companion's opinion, worried that she might want to fight: "Altria?"
Altria nodded and sheathed her sword.
She and Shanks don't have any deep hatred, and the fight was caused by misunderstanding. Moreover, her strength may be weaker than that of the other party. If she has to fight, she will not be afraid, but she is worried that she will not be able to protect Zhang Daye. It would be better if Avalon was there.
After Shanks left, Zhang Daye and the others no longer had the mood to go to the amusement park, and went straight to the shopping street to buy clothes, exercise equipment, and bamboo swords.
As for whether or not to report to the navy, forget it. Shanks said he wanted to find someone, and there is a 99% chance that he was going to find Rayleigh. The navy might think he was meddling in other people's business.
Shanks, on the other hand, was in a good mood. He happily told a white-haired old man about his experience: "Mr. Rayleigh, I was really shocked at that time. In the East China Sea, a little kid actually said the same thing as Captain Roger, the captain's oath!"
"So you gave away the Straw Hats." Rayleigh held the wine flask and looked at Shanks's broken arm and asked, "But what happened to your arm?"
Shanks stroked his broken arm with his right hand, without a trace of regret on his face: "I bet it on the new era!"
"Really? This is really a big gamble." Rayleigh held the wine jug in one hand and looked at his The little kid back then has grown up to this level.
"It's still far from the captain." Then Shanks seemed to remember something, "Oh, by the way, I just met an interesting person on this island..."
Shanks originally thought that the little girl named Altria, who looked so young but was so powerful, would be difficult to talk to, but he didn't expect her to stop so easily.
'Is my face really that useful?'
…
Altria had changed into new clothes: a white blouse with a blue ribbon tied into a bow at the collar, and a blue mid-length skirt with black stockings and long boots.
It feels like when he first arrived, the Knight King took off his armor and turned into a noble lady, and now after changing into a long skirt, he has suddenly turned into a high school girl.
When she just changed her clothes, Altria had a little smile on her face, opened her arms and turned around on the spot, changing her previous heroic look to look delicate and cute.
At noon, they found a nearby restaurant that looked good to eat. The food cooked by the restaurant's chef was even better than Tom's, which made Zhang Da secretly think that the chefs in this world were still quite good. Of course, it might also be that he was not experienced enough before he traveled through time and had not tasted the dishes cooked by real top chefs.
The combination of handsome men and beautiful women and cute pets attracted a lot of attention. No one was tactful enough to come and make trouble, especially when an ordinary little cat skillfully picked up the knife and fork to eat, the people around them felt that their origins were not simple.
When it was time to pay the bill, the restaurant owner was overjoyed, because the price of delicious food is a lot of Baileys, and the three of them ate a lot. It is roughly estimated that this meal cost more than the living expenses of an ordinary family of three for a month.
This made Zhang Da doubt whether he could support three foodies including himself by simply opening a pub.
"Tom, do you want to ride again?"
Tom looked at Altria who was eager to try, shook his head and gestured, "You two can play, I'm tired."
Zhang Da was not stupid enough to race with Altria, he just rode back normally.
"By the way, Altria, do you still remember the aura that Shanks released just now that intimidated others?"
Altria nodded, "Well, that person gives me the feeling of a king."
"That kind of power is called Conqueror's Haki here. It is said that only those who have the qualifications to become a king can possess it. In addition to being used to intimidate the enemy, it can also enhance the power of one's own attacks. When you confronted him, did you feel the power in your body awakening or something?"
"I didn't sense the 'power' you mentioned. What I used was more like a naturally generated temperament, not a power that can be used directly to attack."
"Also belonging to Haki are Armament Haki and Observation Haki. One is used to attack or defend, and the other is used to listen to 'sounds', or to sense the breath of others." Zhang Da also briefly explained the uses of Haki, and how Haki can be used to counter some Devil Fruit abilities.
"If you're talking about assisting the attack, I can use magic, but I'm not sure if I can hit the entity that you mentioned to capture the natural ability user. As for the method of sensing the enemy's breath, I have it. If I use my intuition, I can also achieve the effect of short-term future vision in battle."
Altria has mastered many combat-related skills. It is hard to say whether she, who comes from another world, can master the three colors of domineering, but she basically has alternative methods to achieve the effects of domineering. The only thing that is uncertain now is whether she can deal with natural enemies.
Zhang Da also estimated that if she joined the navy, she would have no problem becoming a major general. If she became a lieutenant general, she would not be able to do so because she did not have the domineering power, and it would be hard to say about becoming a general.
In addition, he couldn't estimate if she would release her Noble Phantasm to fire a flare cannon, because Curry Stick was said to be a city-level Noble Phantasm, but every time she released it, it seemed like she was either chopping at the Holy Grail or on her way to chop at the Holy Grail...
In fact, Zhang Da was looking forward to the battle between Altria and Hawkeye, and also looking forward to whether Tom could fight Hawkeye...
The prerequisite for him to have the confidence to witness all this is to first ensure that he will not die from an unknown AOE while watching the battle.
In the world of pirates, weakness is the original sin.
