Chapter 294: Become a Pirate Hunter, Ace
After breakfast, Zhang Da also set off for Mount Korpo. Tom and Altria followed him to have a picnic on the mountain, while Wendy and Xia Lulu followed to provide field medical services.
Perona wanted to go and accompany Wendy, and watch Zhang Da get beaten up at the same time - mainly to watch Zhang Da get beaten up.
This little tsundere monster is like this. When there is danger, he hopes everyone is safe. When there is no danger, he likes to see Zhang Da get into trouble.
Shark Chili planned to stay to watch the ship and study the sea charts. He had bought a lot of new navigation materials, which would be enough for him to study for a while. He was not very interested in Garp's teaching, and he had no hope for domineering.
Anyway, as long as you practice Fishman Karate well, you can actually achieve an effect similar to Armament Haki.
Rui Mengmeng felt that the decorations she bought before were not enough, so she planned to buy some more. Brooke didn't want to have too much contact with the navy, so she planned to go to the city to relax.
After catching up on some sleep, Ye Yan worked hard and stayed on the boat to train his physical fitness. He was also very unhappy because Zhang Da always mocked his physical fitness.
In the midst of his busy schedule, he still remembered to send a few flag monsters to serve as bodyguards for Rui Mengmeng. Although they together could not defeat Rui Mengmeng now, they were still qualified to carry bags and run errands.
So in the next few days, the wild beasts on Mount Korpo and the fish, shrimps and crabs in the small rivers in the valley suffered a disaster. Originally, the three of Cap and his grandson were big eaters. The three of them would kill at least one wild boar in one meal. Now Zhang Daye and the others were added to the mix. They could only say that it was fortunate that the Korpo Mountains were big enough.
At noon that day, Zhang Daye and his group, along with Grandpa Cap and his grandson, had lunch together.
The location was still beside the creek, but the surroundings had been destroyed beyond recognition. Not only was the ground full of potholes, but there were also hundreds of broken and fallen trees in the nearby woods.
Such a masterpiece is of course thanks to Garp's fists, and the iron heads of Zhang Tatsuya, Ace and Luffy.
Now the three unlucky guys with big bags on their heads were eating roasted venison with big mouthfuls, while glaring at the old man who was still trying to invite Wendy.
After a few days, Wendy realized that although Garp was very harsh when disciplining his grandson, he was usually very easy-going.
He is the kind of person who would not get angry at all even if Perona slapped him on the back of the head while he was sitting and eating.
"Little girl, are you really not going to join the navy?" Garp asked Wendy.
Seeing Wendy's embarrassment, Perona put her hands on her hips to block Garp's sight and said dissatisfiedly: "You have asked this question more than a dozen times in the past few days, old man!"
Garp suddenly had an idea and turned his head and said, "I can take you to Sengoku's office to eat senbei!"
"It's not about the senbei!" Perona was so angry that she jumped up and slapped Garp on the back of the head, "Wendy has already rejected it, don't keep pestering her!"
Garp sat up straight, picked his nose and said, "Then you can join the navy , that's not bad either."
"I'm not going! What do you mean by 'then'? Your attitude is so different, you damn old man!" Perona felt that he looked down on her and was very angry. How could such a person become a naval hero?
Karp was trying to kidnap the two little girls , and Zhang Da was trying to persuade the two naughty kids. They had been beaten and eaten together these days, and had accumulated some friendship, but the persuasion was not going smoothly.
Ace's face showed longing: "I must go out to sea, and then live as I please, freer than anyone else, and I must live a life without regrets!"
"Freedom?" Zhang Da also asked, "Do you also do things like burning, killing and looting?"
Ace said dissatisfiedly: "Who would do something like that?"
Zhang Da also said calmly: "That's what pirates do. If they don't have money, they'll just rob others, regardless of whether the people whose money is robbed will starve to death or have no money to buy medicine for their loved ones."
Ace had seen pirates like that before. The Bluejam who burned the garbage mountain only cared about himself and didn't care about the lives of others. He said firmly: "I won't be a pirate like that!"
Zhang Da also said: "But there is no difference between you eating a free meal and stealing something."
Ace said stubbornly: "I apologized!"
“Is this a question of whether to apologize or not?!” Zhang Da also found it difficult to understand the problem child’s train of thought.
"Wuwuwu..." Luffy raised his hand to indicate that he wanted to speak. He tried to swallow the food in his mouth in one breath but got choked. He pounded his chest hard, but it didn't work at all. Luffy's face became increasingly ugly.
Tom glanced at Luffy and punched him on the top of the head, deforming his head and causing his neck to shrink back and then bounce out again. Luffy finally swallowed the food with a gulp.
"Ah... I'm saved!" Luffy breathed a sigh of relief and smiled foolishly, "Thank you, cat!"
Tom waved his hand to indicate that you're welcome and that he was very familiar with this kind of thing.
Zhang Daye and Ace looked at Luffy, curious about what he wanted to say.
Luffy confidently said to Zhang Da: "We didn't dine for free. I left an IOU. I will pay it back with treasure when I become the Pirate King!"
This way of writing a IOU is unique, and is very similar to that of some authors who procrastinate on updating their work.
Zhang Da also said helplessly: "What if you can't find the treasure?"
Luffy raised his fist firmly: "I will definitely find it!"
"I mean if!"
"I will definitely find it! Because I am the man who will become the Pirate King, I will definitely find the treasure! And it is the most powerful treasure in the world!"
Mmp... It's so tiring to reason with these two little bastards. Zhang Da suddenly understood why Garp kept beating them. It was a good idea.
Zhang Da also took a breath and tried not to get angry: "If you want freedom, you don't have to be a pirate. You can just fly an ordinary flag and travel on the sea like us."
Ace said seriously: "I'm not going out to sea for travel, I want to become a world-famous pirate. No matter how many people in this world disagree with me or hate me, I will make them look at me with new eyes!"
Based on the communication over the past few days, Zhang Da roughly understood the reasons why Ace wanted to become a pirate. One was to prove his existence, the other was to pursue freedom, and maybe some of the reasons were because of the agreement with Sabo.
Just based on the fact that Sabo was bombarded by the Celestial Dragons, it is unlikely that Ace and Luffy will become marines.
Zhang Da also reorganized his words and said, "In fact, becoming a bounty hunter is also a good choice. No, it is a pirate hunter who specializes in targeting pirates.
This is quite free. After you defeat a powerful pirate, you can also gain fame and get a bounty. You won't have to eat free meals anymore and you can also gain the respect of many people.
Becoming a pirate...whether you like it or not, many innocent people will be hurt by you in the end."
Even though Zhang Daye's suggestion sounded like it could achieve his goal, Ace simply wouldn't listen. He had been preparing to go to sea for a long time and had already decided on the path of pirates, so it was not so easy for him to be persuaded by Zhang Daye's words:
"Stop talking, I will become a pirate no matter what, and become the freest person in this ocean!"
Luffy was excited: "Me too!"
People who can possess Conqueror's Haki are probably very determined, right? Zhang Da gave up for the time being. He had said everything he needed to say anyway. Because Garp had taught him a lot in the past few days, he wanted to do something for Garp. Otherwise, Garp would not bother to care. "I will come to catch you when you are rewarded. It just so happens that I am also a part-time bounty hunter."
Ace was confident: "It doesn't matter. I won't be caught by you."
Luffy waved his fist in agreement, "That's right! Ace said that our goal will make many people enemies, even Grandpa will become an enemy, so we must be prepared to risk our lives!"
"Really? So you've already realized this..." Garp's shadow enveloped Ace and Luffy from behind, and the sound of bones crackling could be heard when he clenched his fists.
The voice behind them made Ace and Luffy's bodies stiffen. Their little faces were immediately covered with sweat and they sat on the ground trembling.
"Come and show me your awareness!"
A fist as big as a casserole smashed down with a sound of breaking through the air, creating a large hole in the ground with spider-web-like patterns around it. Ace and Luffy screamed and flew out.
Ace yelled, "Luffy you idiot! Why did you say that!"
Luffy said aggrievedly: "Why are you scolding me? Ace, you clearly said that!"
Ace had no idea what to do with this stupid brother: "Don't let him know that!"
Garp chased after him and punched him again: "Is there anything I don't know?"
The grandfather and his two grandchildren chased each other into the grove, making a loud noise from time to time.
Altria ate her food calmly. These people would often fight while talking, fall asleep while fighting, and start fighting again while sleeping. She had gotten used to it. As long as they didn't overturn the soup pot and the barbecue grill, she could let them do whatever they wanted.
"Tom, can you help me make something later?" When Cap came over just now, Zhang Da wisely held Tom and hid away. He hadn't eaten yet, so he would go and "make up for it" later.
After hearing Zhang Daye's request, Tom nodded obediently. It was not difficult anyway.
After eating and drinking, Zhang Da also stood up and walked towards the busiest place in the woods: "Wendy, you can train on your own, you don't have to save your magic power for me."
These days, Wendy has always been asked to help with treatment. Zhang Da also feels that he has delayed her own exercise, so he will try his best to reduce injuries.
Although Wendy said that practicing healing magic more would be good for her, Zhang Da always felt that this child was the kind of person who would sacrifice herself to help others, so it would be better for him to think more about her.
By the time Zhang Daye found the grandfather and his two grandchildren, the two younger ones were already lying on the ground with their eyes rolled back. This was the fastest time in the past few days. It seemed that Karp was really angry.
I used to think they were ignorant and that was why they were always disobedient, but now it seems that they wanted to be pirates even though they knew they would become his enemies. It will be too late if I don’t teach them a lesson!
Zhang Da didn't sympathize with Ace and Luffy. The naughty kids deserved to be beaten. He took a stance and said, "Thank you for your guidance this afternoon, Vice Admiral Garp!"
Garp smashed his right fist into the palm of his left hand and grinned, "Come on!"
He now likes Zhang Da more and more. Although it is not what he wants when he persuades Ace to become a pirate hunter, he can hear that Zhang Da is also thinking about Ace. This kid should be considered a good person.
As Garp finished speaking, Zhang Da also used the razor to come to Garp's side and punched him in the side.
Such a speed posed no threat to Garp as long as he was awake. He raised his wrist to block it to give him some face, and with his other hand, he clenched his fist and punched towards Zhang Daye's chest.
With a thud, Zhang Da was also knocked out and crashed into a tree. He then rubbed his chest and stood up: "Iron plus magic, although I am not injured, it still hurts a little."
"Not bad. You mastered the iron block so quickly." Karp commented. Even in his eyes, Zhang Daye's learning ability was excellent.
"This is not what I want..." Zhang Da also had a bitter face. He just wanted to learn something as metaphysical as armament color and iron block. In the future, when facing the enemy's moves, he would never use them as long as there was a slight possibility of dodging them.
This is an exceptional situation. If he hadn't used it just now, he would probably have vomited blood.
Zhang Da also rushed forward and flew back. After several cycles, Zhang Da was still covered in dust and dirt as before.
"That's unscientific! It feels right."
"Kid, don't try to be so domineering. Use whatever power you have and release all the strange energy in your body!"
"Okay!" Zhang Da also thought for a moment, clenched his fists again and rushed forward.
Bang! The two men's fists collided, and there seemed to be a shock wave in the air that exploded between the two fists, blowing Zhang Daye's sportswear and Garp's floral shirt back.
After a brief stalemate, the two men each took a step back and separated.
This time, Zhang Daye didn’t feel much pain in his fists and arms. Instead, he felt three different forces bursting out at once. It felt... great!
He looked at his arm with curiosity. If this wasn't the perfect Qilin Arm, then it meant that new power had arrived!
"Huh?" Karp also looked at his fist curiously. He just felt a tingling sensation, which he had not experienced in a long time.
"Are you okay?" Zhang Da also asked with concern. Could it be that he suddenly performed beyond his normal level and hurt Garp?
"Hahaha! What can happen to me? Congratulations on learning Armament Haki!" Garp laughed heartily, "Remember the feeling just now. Next, just practice more until you can control it at will!"
"Really?" Zhang Da was delighted, but then he started to worry again, "I can tell the difference between magic power, but which of the other two is the armament color..."
"You have so many strange powers!" Garp found it interesting. Three different powers, two of which seemed to have similar characteristics to Haki. He had never heard of such a thing before.
And one of them can even make the fist wrapped in Armament Haki feel pain...
First of all, let's rule out the Armament Haki. Although he didn't use his full strength, the Armament Haki that Zhang Da used for the first time was as weak as paper. It would be a dream to think that he would be hurt.
Garp has seen the power called magic power before, and feels that if used properly it may not be worse than Armament Haki. In terms of its wide range of uses, it even exceeds Armament Haki. However, this kid seems to be a little short of the mark.
And I don't know if it will work on a user of a natural-type devil fruit... Garp glanced at the unconscious Luffy. He could try this after Luffy wakes up. If he can hurt him, he will probably be able to deal with a natural-type devil fruit.
Then the unknown third force must have played a decisive role just now, or maybe the three forces came together to produce some kind of change...
As he thought about it, Garp folded his arms and raised his head slightly, with snot bubbles hanging on his facezzZ...
Zhang Daye: ...
I thought you were helping with the analysis! Thinking seriously doesn't really fit with Garp's style!
