Chapter 346: Departure, Upside Down Mountain
Perona replied, "I was going to beat him up and drag him to the naval base, but a girl with red cockscomb suddenly jumped out and attacked me. Fortunately, Wendy reacted quickly and took care of her in one go."
De Zaya didn't want to watch Bartolomeo being captured, so he chose to suddenly attack Perona, but was knocked down by Wendy. Bartolomeo didn't want to watch his companion being beaten, so he wanted to resist... Then it was a classic scene where both sides wanted to save each other, but in the end, neither of them escaped.
The girl with the red cockscomb is called De Zaya. She is childhood sweetheart of Bartolomeo. It is said that the two of them have done a lot of stupid things together since they were young. This time snatching the lollipop is probably one of them - this is the information Xia Lulu extracted from the interaction between the two people.
Ye Yan held his chin up and interrupted, "Now that you've put it that way, it seems like you've become the villains who bully the hero and heroine in the story. Be careful of being retaliated against in the future."
Zhang Da also laughed and said, "Ha, it seems to be true."
"Who is the villain? It's obviously him who wants to steal our things!" Perona said dissatisfiedly, "Anyway, the navy said that guy is not a good person and will not let him out easily."
"He was locked up by the navy." Zhang Da was still thinking that if he hadn't been caught, he would go to his house and give him some small gifts. But Perona's personality has completely changed. After catching someone, she actually learned to give gifts to the navy.
"Why do you look so disappointed? Are you still trying to take revenge on him?" Xia Lulu looked at Zhang Da and said:
"That guy was beaten into a pig's head by Perona, and after Wendy relented and helped reduce the swelling, Perona beat him up again. Isn't that enough of a lesson? If it weren't for that guy's distinctive hair, the Marines wouldn't have recognized him."
Zhang Da also suddenly realized: "Oh~ It can be done this way! Perona is a genius. If I meet a scumbag next time, I can beat him half to death, and then beat him half to death again after he is cured, until Wendy's magic power is no longer available."
Wendy showed an awkward expression: "Isn't this bad?"
Perona was very happy. It was rare for her to hear Zhang Da praise her. She felt like she could eat an extra bowl of rice today.
At this time, Rui Mengmeng came out of the cabin: "Okay, boss, everything has been sorted out, but there are ten sausages missing, and the weight of the apples is not right."
Zhang Da also pointed to the side and said, "It will probably be even less tomorrow, so go buy some more before you leave."
Rui Mengmeng turned her head and saw Tom lying on his back on a beach chair, holding a sausage under his nose. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, sniffing from one end to the other. Then he opened his mouth, and his teeth cut the sausage piece by piece like a guillotine, and rolled it into his mouth, chewing it beautifully.
"Uh... okay." Rui Mengmeng has gotten used to it.
Zhang Da also asked, "Has Shark Chili not come back yet?"
Rui Mengmeng said: "He came back once, took a few boatmen to check the Amber inside and out, and then left. He said he wanted to buy something and would be back later."
Probably he went to investigate toothpaste and toothbrushes, which was Shark Chili's routine. Zhang Da also asked, "Did you see a group of pirates just now? They have loud voices and carry three very good knives."
"A few groups of pirates came, but they were defeated before they could even talk. We don't know if they have loud voices." Rui Mengmeng pointed to a ship and said, "They are all on that ship. The previous ones have been taken away by the navy. They will come to claim these later and settle the bounty at the same time."
"Okay, I'll go and see how many captains have been gathered here?" Zhang Da also asked. There are a total of twenty pirate ships here, and no one knows how many they will be able to catch by just waiting.
Rui Mengmeng thought for a moment and said, "18, and two haven't come back yet. With such a big incident, they might have already received the news."
"It's okay. It doesn't matter whether Ye Yan turns on the lights or not. We can go fishing at night. I think they will most likely sneak back at night and try to drive the boat away. Then we will naturally gather together."
Zhang Da also went to the pirate ship and found the three knives. As for the treasures and Baileys, they had already been searched out by the flag monsters and brought back to the Amber. The flag monsters were getting more and more adept at this business, and Zhang Da was a little worried that they would go astray.
"I'm going to deliver some things. Does anyone want to go out for a walk?" Zhang Da also asked. The first person he looked at was Tom, but Tom was busy. He was tinkering with the ice cream machine with Xia Lulu and the little girls. The ingredients were already prepared.
Altria... in this case, is included in the little girl.
Brook didn't want to go out. For a former pirate like him, the most attractive place in Rogue Town should be the execution platform. However, Brook, the great pirate, didn't have much interest in the place where a rookie pirate was executed.
If you really go to see it, you will probably feel like a young person sending off a younger person.
The last people who went out with Zhang Da were Ye Yan and Rui Mengmeng. Ye Yan wanted to walk around and find some inspiration, while Rui Mengmeng wanted to restock the supplies. Tom would always steal some food anyway, so it would be better to buy more for him to eat.
When Zhang Da delivered the three knives to Yibensong's weapon shop as promised, Yibensong was overjoyed. He sold the new knives and recycled them as old ones, which meant he made a hundred million yuan for free, which he could have with a bottle of good wine in the evening.
But he probably won't be happy for long, because this batch of pirates who came to Rogue Town were almost all wiped out by Zhang Daye and his men. After the news spreads, Rogue Town will probably be quiet for a while. I hope Yibensong's mentality can still be as good as it is now.
After delivering the knife, I had to look for the postman, but after searching for a long time, I finally found the naval base.
These guns are quite expensive, so it would be safer to ask the Navy for help.
In response to Zhang Tatsuya's request, Colonel Last assured him, "No problem. The Third Patrol Team happens to have a patrol mission over there, so we can just deliver it over there. Don't worry, Mr. Tatsuya."
The adjutant wanted to say something, but was stopped by Rast's eyes.
He knew that the adjutant wanted to say that the area was under the jurisdiction of the 16th and 77th branches, and had nothing to do with the Rogue Navy. But Last felt that as long as Zhang Da did not mention eating here, everything would be easy to handle. He could just deliver some things in the name of patrol and treat it as a military exercise.
"Boss Tatsuya, you are here too?" Shark Chili walked into the naval base carrying a big bag in his left hand and a person in his right hand.
"Shark pepper?" Zhang Da was also wondering why he came here, but when he saw that he was holding a person dressed as a pirate captain in his hand, he immediately understood that buying toothpaste meant giving away a pirate captain?
…
It was a bit surprising that Shark Chili could pick up pirates while shopping, but the last pirate group and Zhang Da were almost expected. They were reluctant to leave their ship and planned to run away by boat after dark.
When they arrived at the dock, they saw that the location of the Amber Tour Group was completely dark. The captain happily led his men to board their ship and prepared to leave, while whispering, "There's not even a night watchman. The legendary Amber Tour Group that pirates are so afraid of is only this bad!"
A clever subordinate whispered, "Boss, why don't we burn their boats? If we burn them to death, we will become famous immediately!"
"Get lost!" The captain slapped him on the head. I said this just to vent my anger, but you actually want others to vent their anger on me?
If this fire is lit, it is not certain whether it can burn the ship, but those ruthless guys will definitely chop off his head before the ship is burned down. The captain is very confident about this.
At this time, a loud voice came from the darkness: "It's dry, be careful of fire!"
"Who? Who's so loud? What if we wake them up?" the captain asked angrily, "Didn't I tell you to keep quiet?"
Bang~~~~
In response, a gong sounded, followed by another person's voice: "I say, if you don't understand, don't shout, okay? It's so dry here by the sea. Even if you want to shout slogans, now is the time to 'close the doors and windows to prevent thieves and thefts.'"
"Hey, isn't there a clever guy who wants to set fire to our ship? I think it's quite appropriate." Zhang Da also said jokingly, "With such a flash, they should be feeling as complicated as Boss Cao who laughed three times on Huarong Road."
Ye Yan was too lazy to correct it anymore. Anyway, no one was shouting that outdated slogan now. He just had to know it as a night watchman.
The pirates were already panicking, they found that although they could still speak, they could not move their bodies at all. The pirate captain was indeed in despair, and such a strange ability must have come from the Amber Tour Group.
"I surrender." The pirate captain thought about his career as a pirate, which was full of ups and downs...
…
After dealing with the pirate issue, Zhang Daye and his companions rested and played in Rogue Town for three days before preparing to set off again.
During this time, Colonel Laster once gritted his teeth and offered to entertain them, but Zhang Da also refused: "You have just received so many pirates, you must be very busy. We will just rest here and get ready to set off."
"This... this is really... a poor hospitality." Colonel Last felt both guilty and moved.
He felt guilty for being so stingy that he hesitated for so long just to treat someone to a meal. He was touched that Mr. Tatsuya was so strong yet so reasonable. He never expected that Zhang Da also disliked their chef.
So after three days of rest (eating, drinking and having fun), under the watchful eyes of Colonel Last and many residents of Rogue Town, the Amber set sail, and the flag with a cat's face painted on it gradually disappeared from their sight.
People's faces were filled with gratitude and reluctance. They knew that thanks to this tour group, Rogue Town would not be harassed by pirates for a while, so they were grateful. They also knew that once they left, the pirates would come back sooner or later, so they were reluctant to leave.
Of course, some people have completely opposite ideas to them, such as the owner of the weapons shop, Ipponmatsu.
When he recycled the three knives, he thought he had made a profit, but the sharp drop in sales in the past few days told him that thanks to Amber Travel Group, he had lost money, and it was a heavy loss.
…
Starting from Rogue Town and heading west, it won't be long before you see the Red Earth Continent. Then, sailing along the Red Earth Continent, you will find the entrance canal on the Upside Down Mountain that leads to the Grand Line.
But this journey is very risky, because the distance between the canal and the doldrums is very close. If you are not careful, you may accidentally enter the doldrums and then come into stare-in-eye with giant sea kings.
Moreover, the ocean currents near Upside Down Mountain are very special. Except for the entrance of the canal, all the ocean currents will hit the mountain wall and sink rapidly. If the navigator and helmsman are unreliable, all the crew members will be swept to the bottom of the sea along with the boat.
But Amber Tour Group does not have to worry about this, because their navigator Shark Chili can dive directly into the sea to observe the ocean currents and use his body to navigate for everyone.
At the same time, they also have an excellent helmsman, Altria, but now this helmsman is a bit unprofessional.
"Here, strawberry, vanilla, and chocolate." Altria successfully learned how to make ice cream of different flavors and enthusiastically distributed them to Wendy, Xia Lulu, and Perona.
As for Tom and Altria herself, of course they chose to have everything. Altria didn't have to worry about stomachache anyway. After all, she was the one who could walk through an entire food street by herself and eat whatever she wanted, hot, cold, sour, or sweet.
Whether Tom would have a stomachache was a mysterious question. Sometimes he could stuff two ice creams in one mouthful without blinking, and sometimes he would tremble all over after just a light lick. But he still insisted on eating ice cream wrapped in a blanket. Zhang Da thought that since he would not die, he could do whatever he wanted.
In order to eat more ice cream, Perona, a clever little girl, came up with a good idea: "It won't hurt I can ask Wendy to cure my stomachache!"
"Healing magic isn't for this kind of thing!" Zhang Daye flicked his finger on Perona's forehead, "You can only take one a day, at most... if you exceed the training target, you can add one more."
"Hmph~" Perona snorted and ran away, licking her ice cream while thinking about which one would be more cost-effective.
After being teased by her, Wendy also started to make her own plans. She exceeded her targets almost every day: "Then let's eat strawberry and vanilla flavors today, and strawberry and chocolate flavors tomorrow. I can eat the vanilla flavor with Xia Lulu, and tomorrow I can eat the chocolate flavor with Perona..."
The kind-hearted Wendy never keeps the delicious food to herself, but always likes to share it with her friends.
"Now is not the time to share ice cream, Artoria, come and take the helm, it will be terrible if we crash into the mountain!" In the comics by Zhang Daya, the Straw Hat Pirates' entry into the canal was particularly thrilling. They couldn't control the rudder at all and it even broke in the end. They had to rely on Luffy's rubber balloon to successfully pass.
Altria held an ice cream in each hand, feeling a little embarrassed. She felt she would have enough time to finish her meals and then go.
Zhang Da also put his hand on Altria's shoulder and pushed her to the helmsman's position: "I can eat the ice cream for you, but I can't steer the ship for you!"
The information said that Diandao Mountain was a winter island, and Zhang Da also felt that the air had become a little cold...
