Chapter 295: Treasure Clues
Garp cannot be relied upon, but it is enough to hear from him that he has mastered the armament color.
As for the other kind of power, just go back to the boat and find Rui Mengmeng and Ye Yan to compare and confirm it. Because Zhang Da was also in a hurry to go back to verify, little Luffy escaped the misfortune of testing the effect of magic.
After returning to the boat, before Zhang Da could speak, Shark Chili told him the good news.
Zhang Da was also stunned: "Are there any clues to the treasure map?"
"Yes." Shark Chili put the photo of the treasure map , several sea charts, and a book on the table, pushed them in front of Zhang Daye and said, "I found the clues from this book "Legends of the Sea". Comparing the treasure map with the sea chart of the East China Sea, this treasure map is very likely to be real."
Zhang Da had looked through the treasure map and sea chart many times, but didn't think there was anything special about them. He bought the book "Legends of the Sea" in a bookstore when he first arrived in the Kingdom of Goa, and he hadn't found the time to read it yet.
Flipping through the catalog, Zhang Da also saw many "unbelievable" stories recorded on it, such as the sky island floating ten thousand meters in the sky, the fishman island in the depths of the sea, the ALL-BLUE where all the fish from all over the world gather, and the legend of the demon Oz conquering and moving countries...
These stories are so absurd to the people of Donghai that most people only regard them as after-dinner conversation or stories to entertain children.
However, Zhang Daye knew that many stories in this book were true. Although the descriptions were more or less exaggerated, they at least had prototypes. So if Shark Chili found the clues from here, then it should be somewhat credible.
"The story of the great golden pirate Wu Nan..." Zhang Da also read out the words in the book as others looked at him curiously, "Decades ago, the great pirate Wu Nan set sail from a small island in the East China Sea, determined to find all the gold and treasures in the world.
Wealth, prestige, legend has it that Wu Nan got everything he wanted, and even built a mountain of gold that had never been seen before. Before he died, he left all his treasures on the Golden Island, where one-third of the world's gold is hidden, but no one knows the location of the Golden Island.
"One third of the world's gold?" Perona was so surprised that her soul left her body and floated above Zhang Daye's head to read the contents of the book.
The image of Jinshan appeared in Tom's eyes. He jumped onto the table and put his face close to the pages of the book to read.
"How amazing!" Wendy exclaimed in surprise and supported Perona's body in time.
"Yo hou hou hou~ I've also heard of the reputation of the Golden Great Pirate. So he's from the East Sea?" Wu Nan is almost a contemporary of Brook. He had heard of this person when he was in the West Sea.
Ye Yan was skeptical at first, but after hearing what Brooke, the living fossil, said, his eyes lit up immediately: "Is there really a gold mountain?"
"So it's not a recipe." Altria's painting style was out of tune with everyone else, and she was so disappointed that even her hair softened.
"Don't be too happy too soon. I feel like it's probably fake." Zhang Da also pointed to the reward for Wu Nan that was attached at the end. "The reward is only 60 million Baileys. Can you really make a mountain of gold without getting killed?"
"There are indeed some doubts about this matter. Even if the bounty is inflated compared to decades ago, the bounty for a pirate with such a reputation should not be only 60 million." Shark Chili said, "But I did find an island similar to the one on the treasure map."
Shark Chili displayed three different versions of nautical charts of the same sea area. The oldest version marked the outline of the unknown island, the slightly newer version only marked a small dot, and the latest version simply ignored it.
Shark Chili said: "This island should be the Golden Island. Later, I don't know why it was gradually ignored. It may be because there are no people on the island and there are no valuable resources."
"There's something wrong with this bounty. Wu Nan in the photo is too young. Could it be because of the long time and the missing information? This is just a photo of him shortly after he became famous. The final bounty is actually expected to be higher than 60 million?" Ye Yan pointed to the picture in the book. Of course, he hoped that this was the case. In this way, they might find a gold mine, and getting rich overnight would not be a dream!
Zhang Da still didn't believe it. One-third of the world's gold, this statement itself was unreliable. Could it be that Wu Nan was the user of the Gold-Gold Fruit of the previous generation, the kind that was even more powerful than Tesoro?
But that was the era of Rocks. If he really had so much gold, he would have been beaten to death long ago.
"We'll know whether it's true or not after we go and find out." Zhang Da also said. After all, they were traveling and it was fun to go anywhere.
He did not forget to comfort Altria: "It doesn't matter if it's not a recipe. If you can find gold, you can buy a lot of delicious food. Besides, didn't you buy a lot of cookbooks in the bookstore a few days ago? You can try them for a long time."
"Yeah, yeah!" Altria nodded, her ahoge trembling and her eyes brightening.
Shark Chili asked, "So when do we leave?"
"Let's go tomorrow. I'll go say goodbye to Vice Admiral Garp and then we'll set off." Zhang Da also said, "Are there any other places you want to go and things you want to do?"
Everyone shook their heads. The capital of the Kingdom of Goa was not that big. After staying here for so many days, they had visited all the places they should visit. Even the royal palace, which was forbidden to enter, was sneaked in by the gossipy Sui Feng Er and took many photos.
In general, the palace here is not as magnificent as the Dragon Palace, and what is puzzling is that the king and the prince do not look that good, but the young princess seems to have the potential to become a beauty.
After deciding on the next itinerary, Zhang Da also thought of his own affairs: "By the way, Meng Meng and Ye Yan, come and help me see what the new power I have learned is. It should be related to you."
Rui Mengmeng knew Zhang Daye's ability and asked expectantly, "Boss, have you gained the same power as me? Is it amazing?"
Zhang Da also said: "I'm not sure which one of you it belongs to, but what I just got can't be better than what you have."
Ye Yan asked: "How do you want to see it?"
Zhang Da also looked at Ye Yan's face: "Let me punch you one by one?"
"Go away!" Ye Yan said unhappily, "Why don't we each punch you and let you feel it yourself!"
"That's fine." Zhang Da was also thinking about the fact that the ability he had just learned was sometimes effective and sometimes not. Anyway, their fists were not as painful as Garp's.
Ye Yan was surprised and asked, "Are you serious?"
Zhang Da also crossed his arms and said, "Come on, I'll beat you so many times to satisfy your desire. I promise I won't hide."
"That's what you said." Ye Yanyin smiled and clenched his fists. He had wanted to beat Zhang Da for a long time, but unfortunately the magic weapon was not very effective. He really couldn't beat him without the magic weapon. Now he finally had the chance to settle his personal grudge openly.
Zhang Da also smiled and said, "Come on, no need to pity me."
"Why are you so disgusting... watch out!" Ye Yan punched Zhang Daye in the face with a smile on his face, thinking that if you hit someone, you have to hit them in the face, otherwise you won't feel relieved.
However, after being hit, Zhang Da did not move at all, and even the expression on his face did not change.
Ye Yan's smile gradually disappeared. He held his right hand in disbelief: "Damn, you tricked me! How can you be so hard!"
Zhang Da also smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you that I have learned how to be an iron block? Now I am super thick-skinned."
"It's evil magic!" Ye Yan left indignantly and went to practice. One day he would have such a thick skin.
Rui Mengmeng asked: "Boss, can you confirm this?"
Zhang Da also nodded: "Almost. It doesn't feel like true qi, it should be your dark energy. Why don't you punch me too so I can feel it."
"good!"
Then Zhang Da flew, from the deck all the way to the dock.
While flying in the air, Zhang Da was still feeling lucky that the angle of takeoff was high enough so that he did not crash into the railing.
The next second Rui Mengmeng also jumped over from the boat, and apologized in a panic: "Boss! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I usually use a sword, and I didn't control myself well with my fists! Are you okay? I'll take you to find Wendy! No, I'll go get Wendy over!"
"I'm fine, don't panic." Zhang Da also stood up and rubbed his chest. This punch was really powerful. The strength used by Karp in the past few days was about the same. If it were him before he learned the Iron Block, he might have vomited blood.
This punch was not in vain. When the invisible energy in Rui Mengmeng's hand touched his chest, Zhang Da also confirmed that this was the thing he was using at that time.
The dark energy from Rui Mengmeng should have strong destructive power. Although Rui Mengmeng cannot reach the level of splitting a planet with one blow even if she grows to her limit, we can still look forward to her being able to split a mountain or an island.
And judging from Garp's reaction today, ordinary armament color may not be able to defend against this thing.
Two soldiers standing guard at the dock ran over and asked, "Mr. Tatsuya, how are you? What happened ? Were you attacked?"
In the past few days, Zhang Da has handed over many thieves to them. Although it is not a big achievement, they have caught a lot of thieves. The two of them may get a lot of bonuses for this. This is all thanks to these people, so they can't help but care.
"It's okay, we are just joking among ourselves. Sorry for disturbing you." Zhang Da also dusted himself off and motioned Rui Mengmeng to go back to the boat.
The two soldiers looked at each other in bewilderment. How could they play a joke and send someone flying? So, is there domestic violence in the Grand Line? Most people would not be able to stand this kind of play, right? It is indeed the Grand Line.
After figuring out what new power he had learned, Zhang Da felt more at ease. Next, he would learn more from Rui Mengmeng. Although she was also figuring it out on her own, at least she had been exposed to it for a longer time than him.
…
The next day, Zhang Da also went to say goodbye to Garp. This time, only he, Tom and Altria were there.
"Are we setting sail today?" asked Cap.
"Yes, thank you for your teaching these days. Here are the donuts Tom made based on the desserts of Fishman Island. Please don't dislike them."
Zhang Da also handed over the gift box, but Altria didn't stare at it directly because Tom made a lot in one breath and most of them went into her stomach.
"Donuts? Fishman Island style? I'll be more than welcome then!" Garp happily took the box and then asked, "Have you figured out what kind of power it is?"
"Well, it's called dark energy. It has quite destructive power, but I don't understand the principle behind it." It's just a name, so Zhang Da didn't think it was a big deal to tell him.
"Is that so?" Cap picked his nose, not sure if he took it to heart or not. It seemed that he was more interested in donuts than dark energy.
"Then we won't delay your education of your grandchildren. I hope they will give up becoming pirates soon."
"Hey!" Ace shouted seriously, "Listen carefully, I will definitely become a pirate! If you are a bounty hunter, we will be enemies next time we meet, and I will definitely defeat you then!"
"Then go for it, but I advise you not to become a pirate." Zhang Da also calculated. Now Ace is only 10 years old. When he goes to sea at the age of 17, he will have who knows how many layers of buffs stacked on his body. By then, he will be able to beat his brother so badly that he won't even recognize him.
"Vice Admiral Garp, if your two grandsons won't change their minds no matter how hard you try, why don't you take them to catch some pirates and see the villagers being bullied by them?"
Zhang Da couldn't help but make a suggestion out of kindness, but he himself felt it was of little use. After all, Ace and Luffy didn't want to be ordinary pirates.
"I'll consider it." Karp felt that this was of little use, and planned to try again later when there was really no other way.
Little Luffy didn't say anything the whole time, his attention was on the box from beginning to end. The child smelled the aroma of the donuts through the box, and while Garp was waving to Zhang Tatsuya and the others, he opened his mouth - "click".
"Luffy!!!"
When walking out of the woods, Zhang Da also heard Karp's shouting. There was probably another round of chaos afterwards. Zhang Da shook his head and returned with his companions.
The smell at the terminal of uncertain things remained the same. Zhang Da also saw that the man who was driven out of the city a few days ago had become very thin and unrecognizable. Resigned to his fate, he rummaged through the garbage dump with the others, imitating the "predecessors" and using local materials to build a shelter for himself.
Looking at these people struggling to survive, Zhang Da also said to Altria: "Wait for me."
As he said this, he turned around and returned to the forest. Not long after, Zhang Da also dragged a giant bear in his left hand and a giant wild boar in his right hand and placed them on the open space in the garbage dump.
Tom's face lit up with joy. Another extra meal? Then he pinched his nose in disgust, indicating that he didn't want to eat here.
Zhang Da also touched Tom's head and said with a smile: "It's not for us to eat, I just suddenly wanted to make something."
These two big guys must have several thousand kilograms of meat. There aren't many people at the uncertain food terminal right now, so this stuff is enough for all of them to eat until it goes bad.
Tom reluctantly followed Zhang Daye and Altria towards the city gate.
Before they could walk far, a dozen people surrounded the two preys and then... started fighting.
Hearing the angry curses and screams behind him, Zhang Daye paused, turned around and saw that almost everyone had red eyes, and said helplessly:
"There's enough for everyone. There's no need to be so greedy, right?"
