Chapter 296: Departure and Encounter
Zhang Da also thought for three seconds whether he should help them divide it directly, but gave up. Even if he divided it, they would still fight over it after he left.
"Tatsuya, you seem very distressed." Altria saw the whole thing and didn't think Zhang Tatsuya did anything wrong.
"A little, but it's nothing. I just wanted to do something for these poor people. Now I'm done. Let's go." Zhang Da also felt that these people were pitiful and hateful. Perhaps what they lacked was not food, but a good king.
This is not something he can worry about. He is not reckless enough to overthrow the country just because he sympathizes with these people. This is something that should be worried about for Garp.
After returning to the ship, everyone confirmed one last time that there were sufficient supplies, especially that the food reserves had reached the maximum, before they officially set sail.
Before leaving, the patrol captain came over to see them off, and together with the two soldiers, sincerely invited them to visit often in the future.
After leaving the Kingdom of Goa, Zhang Da still had one thing on his mind: "That little nobleman we tricked is not good enough. Why hasn't he shown any intention of revenge after so many days?"
Ye Yan said: "After all, it was just reported in the newspaper. A little research will tell you that we are not easy to mess with. The fact that that person did not turn hostile immediately shows that he has some brains and it is normal that he does not dare to act rashly."
Xia Lulu leaned in Wendy's arms and said, "Why do I feel like you are expecting others to take revenge on you?"
"Yeah, I do hope they hire pirates to take revenge, then I can earn some bounty and I can practice my skills." Zhang Da was also thinking badly. After being beaten by Garp for so long, it was time for him to beat up the newbie from the East China Sea.
Unfortunately, the day was peaceful from the time the ship set sail until nightfall, and Zhang Da could only practice his armament color and dark energy by hitting sandbags and wooden stakes on the boat.
Occasionally, he would act as a sandbag for Ye Yan at his request. Ye Yan's next training target was to hurt Zhang Daye, who was in the state of being like a piece of iron.
This kind of training was both painful and exciting for Ye Yan. He often had a twisted smile on his face, which made Zhang Da feel uneasy.
"Have you awakened some weird habit? I quit!" Zhang Da also felt that he should stay away from him. After all, Ye Yan was a performance artist, and it was difficult for an ordinary person like him to accept this kind of mentality.
"No, I'll pay more!" Ye Yan tried to keep him, using the boss as a punching bag with justification, but where could he find such a good thing?
"You are so poor, give me more money!"
"I'll teach you the night watchman's moves! Sooner or later you'll get the same true energy as me, so why not learn it first?"
So Zhang Da also got a new course, and the time hammer and other things were quite interesting.
So now he has to practice armament color, dark energy, Wendy's healing magic, Ye Yan's night watchman professional skills, swordsmanship, basic physical training, and the Moon Step among the six styles.
"I agreed to travel around the world, but why am I getting busier and busier the more I travel?" Zhang Da, who had been working hard all day, was lying on the bed. As soon as this thought came to his mind, he fell into a deep sleep.
Tom tilted his head, wrapped himself in a small blanket and lay down next to Zhang Daye. He reached out to turn off the bedside lamp and fell asleep soundly.
The first thing I do when I wake up every day is to cheer Tom up (physical encouragement).
Every time you take a breath too long, say sorry.
Zhang Da also caught the balloon-shaped Tom that was flying in the sky, and waited for him to return to his normal size with a silly look on his face. Then a new day officially began.
While Zhang Daye was taking his two little girls and a kitten for morning exercises while waiting for breakfast, a newspaper gull circled and landed on the bow of the boat. After seeing Xia Lulu clearly, the newspaper gull cleverly jumped back a little, ready to escape at any time.
Zhang Da also took out a coin and put it into the money box of the newspaper delivery gull, calming it down a little before taking the newspaper.
"Donquixote Doflamingo, the "Tenyasha", joins the Shichibukai!"
This was the first time Zhang Da saw a full-body photo of Doflamingo. He had short golden hair, wore sunglasses, a pink feather coat, pointed black leather shoes, pink cropped pants, and was tall. The smile on his face looked very sinister.
The news was vague about how Doflamingo became one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and more space was used to introduce the members and origins of the Don Quixote Pirates.
Perhaps it would be a disgrace to the World Government to threaten it by seizing Tenjo Gold, and at the same time, they are also worried that other pirates will follow suit and encourage unhealthy trends.
"Who is this? Is he a bad guy?" Wendy and Xia Lulu asked curiously.
They had seen the statement about the Seven Warlords of the Sea in a booklet ( a handbook specially compiled by Zhang Daye and others to popularize common sense of the world for newcomers, and the first user was Ye Yan). Although they couldn't understand why the World Government allowed these people to "legally plunder", it did not affect their simple classification of the Seven Warlords of the Sea as bad guys.
"This guy is a very ambitious pirate, a pure bad guy. If he becomes one of the Shichibukai, there will definitely be chaos. Besides, we have captured his men, so they might come to cause trouble for us." Zhang Da was not surprised that Doflamingo became one of the Shichibukai, but he did not expect it to be so early.
According to the original timeline, Doflamingo went to Dressrosa to cause trouble two years later, and became a Shichibukai before that, but not so early.
Was it because Diamanti and Buffalo had brought forward their plans? Zhang Da could only guess.
As for Zhang Da coming for revenge, he was not too worried. The only thing he had to worry about was not being able to kill him in public. He had to do it like he did with Moria, letting him disappear inexplicably. It would be best if he could find someone to take the blame.
Zhang Daye’s guess was almost right.
Doflamingo is now on an island in the New World waiting to receive Diamante and Buffalo, but he is not in a good mood.
Doflamingo's original plan was to first make friends with various underworld bosses in the New World, and then wait a year to seize Tenjo Gold and seize the position of Shichibukai.
But the arrest of Diamante and Buffalo disrupted his plan. On the one hand, Doflamingo kept emphasizing in front of his men that he regarded Diamante as a family member. On the other hand, Buffalo's flying ability also played an important role in subsequent plans, so he could only rob Tenjoujin in a hurry.
There is no way out. The navy is about to change its commander, and the three admirals will be filled. If he does something as big as robbing the gold in the sky at that time, the new marshal and the new admiral will never forgive him even if they chase him to the ends of the earth in order to establish their prestige.
If he waits another year, who knows what accidents may happen, and the recently negotiated cooperation will also fall through, so Doflamingo can only take a gamble in this short period of time before the Navy changes its commander.
Fortunately, he won the bet, and this was the smoothest time since leaving the Sabaody Archipelago.
Doflamingo thought about it and found that things seemed to be going badly for him ever since he got involved with that tavern. Whether it was the slave trading business, the revenge on Tesoro, or the disruption of this plan, all of them had the shadow of that tavern. Oh yes, now it was a tour group, and it seemed like this tour group was deliberately going against him.
"Amber Travel Group, fufufu..." Doflamingo really wanted to fly over and crush them to death, but he was not such an impulsive person, especially after he deduced that the Golden Lion was killed by Zhang Tatsuya and his men, he dared not act rashly.
It is better to accumulate strength and develop power first. You don't .
…
After reading the news, Zhang Da also went to Ye Yan to discuss a series of plans to hit the target with a club and destroy the body.
Tom, who was listening, rubbed his hands and smiled evilly. From what his master said, the flamingo didn't seem to be very strong. He would definitely help when the time comes. After all, he was proficient in a series of professional skills such as digging graves, burying people, carving tombstones, laying flowers, and dancing in front of graves. He would be sure to do a great job.
After a little preparation, Zhang Daye's life is still as busy and fulfilling as usual.
"Brother Tatsuya." Wendy called out to Zhang Tatsuya who was about to jump into the sea for a swim, "The weather is going to change."
"The weather is changing?" Zhang Da also looked up. There were some sparse clouds, but it didn't seem like it was going to rain. However, he would not ignore Wendy's opinion, so he just asked, "Can you predict the weather?"
Wendy nodded: "Yes, because I am very sensitive to changes in the air. This feeling is that a storm is coming."
"Amazing!" Zhang Da was also surprised. Isn't this the same talent as Nami? Wendy's magic power comes from the air, so she is particularly sensitive to changes in the air. She can judge the weather by the changes in the air. In this aspect, she may be better than Nami.
If they learn a little more knowledge about ocean currents... No, Shark Chili can be responsible for ocean currents. As long as the two of them cooperate with each other, they will be the strongest navigator combination!
"What are you daydreaming about? Wendy's prediction is very accurate. Don't we need to make any preparations for the storm?" Xia Lulu urged.
"I'm really happy!" Zhang Da also touched Wendy's head and said, "Wendy, I'll have to rely on you for severe weather warnings from now on."
"Yes!" Wendy agreed happily.
"Ahem..." Zhang Da also shouted, "Everyone, pay attention, it's thundering, it's raining, put away your clothes!"
Wendy and Xia Lulu were stunned. Is the main point to collect the clothes?
Yes, they had encountered storms many times in the Grand Line, so there was no need to panic. The storms in the East China Sea would not be any more severe than those in the Grand Line, so the only thing to worry about was not to forget the freshly washed clothes, as it would be very troublesome if they got wet or blown away.
After a while of hustle and bustle, the Amber successfully passed through the storm. Perona complained, "Isn't it winter? Why is it raining instead of snowing?"
She knew that the weather in the seas was not as chaotic as that in the Grand Route, and she had been looking forward to snow for a while, but she didn't expect that in the end all she got was rain.
"It's not uncommon to have rain in winter. It may be that our current latitude is too low." Zhang Da also said, "Okay, those who need to take a shower and change clothes should do so quickly to avoid catching a cold."
"I know, stop nagging." Perona returned to her room reluctantly.
"Then Tom, make some hot soup? Or how about hot pot for lunch?" Zhang Da also calculated that it was time for lunch.
Tom patted his chest to indicate that it was okay.
Swoosh~Boom! A shell exploded not far from the Amber, stirring up a column of water.
Then one shell after another flew over and landed around the Amber. The surging sea water made the Amber shake, and the hot pot on the table also shook, and the soup inside could splash out at any time.
Zhang Da also frowned: "Who is this? We are eating hot pot and not singing, why does someone want to rob us?"
The one firing is a large pirate ship. Its bow is very similar to the Amber, with a black cat's head in the shape of a black cat. The logo on the pirate flag is also a cat's head and skull.
At this time, a man with a slicked-back hair and wearing a suit was sitting in the captain's seat. He raised his hand and pushed his glasses with the base of his palm, with wisdom flashing in his eyes.
The man's name was Clo, and he was nicknamed "Hundred Strategies" because of his many cunning schemes and careful plans.
The attack was not a spur of the moment attack. A lookout spotted a medium-sized ship in the storm from a distance, and Clo ordered his men to monitor outside the storm.
According to his thinking, the opponent would be exhausted by the storm, and would relax their vigilance after successfully passing through the storm. This would be the best time to attack!
We have a large sailing ship, and the enemy has a small sailing ship. We have the advantage in both firepower and numbers. In addition, the enemy is exhausted and unprepared, while we are full of energy and well prepared. This attack will definitely succeed!
"Fire, fire!" Wearing a wide-brimmed hat and heart-shaped sunglasses, Zang Gao was directing the gunners to attack. He was the second captain of the ship and also a part-time hypnotist and dancer.
"As expected of you, Captain. That ship didn't react at all!"
“That’s right!”
"The Captain's plan is invincible!"
A group of minions cheered and kept praising Clo's plan, looking forward to how much they could gain this time.
What a bunch of idiots! Clo pushed his glasses up again with his palm and smiled smugly.
When that ship reacts, it will probably flee immediately, but its speed will not be as fast as ours. Then, we will hit them with a few shells during the pursuit to knock out their last bit of courage, and finally end it with a boarding battle...
Another perfect plan! As long as you have your own plan, you can be invincible in this sea even if your subordinates are a bunch of idiots.
Although the navy's pursuit has become more frequent recently as his fame has grown, Cloe can always come up with perfect plans to play tricks on the navy. This sense of accomplishment made him a little addicted at first, but he became a little bored after a long time.
I could continue to be a pirate for a few more years. If the situation hadn't improved by then, then maybe I should come up with a plan to withdraw.
Crowe pondered that being a pirate was not a long-term solution after all.
"Captain! It's bad, Captain!" A minion reported in a panic, "Your plan went wrong!"
Impossible! Cloe stood up suddenly: "What's going on?"
"Not only did the other party not run away, but he rushed towards us!"
Clo looked at him like an idiot. Wouldn't it be better to rush over? Just kill them. Why panic?
