Chapter 35: The Worst One in the Tavern
At the same time, a broom hit the leader in the face, causing him to fall to the ground with a scream. Then the broom handle poked the third man in the stomach, causing him to bend over like a shrimp and fall to the ground in pain.
Zhang Da was also surprised to find that Tom had changed into a denim suit and a wide-brimmed hat at some point. He walked step by step to the fallen man, holding the rope in his left hand, and took out a pistol with his right hand, pointing it at the man's forehead.
Altria held the broom upside down and pressed the handle against someone's throat, as if she was holding a spear. If she wanted to, she could stab someone to death even without the spear tip.
"Tatsuya said that anyone who doesn't pay will be chopped off."
If the cookie in her other hand wasn't bitten off, she would have looked more intimidating.
After the three guys who wanted to escape were knocked down by Tom and Altria, Zhang Da felt that he had been outsmarted. He was a little angry and took out a hunting rifle - the one Tom used when hunting ducks, and pointed it at the leader of the gangsters:
"You just said that it would be easier if I didn't know you guys?"
At this time, the tavern was filled with the sound of people who wanted to watch the fun and make trouble:
"Oh!!! Cowboy Tom is awesome!"
"Too strong, Miss Altria!"
"Tatsuya-kun is such a loser..."
"The little boss is so weak!"
…
They knew Tom, the cat pianist, but they didn't expect him to have such fighting ability.
As for Altria, they also knew her, but because she always had her back to the group and was almost always eating, in the eyes of a group of burly men, this little girl had nothing good except her pretty face, and was completely the mascot of the tavern.
Even when asked about Zhang Daye, he introduced Altria as the guard of the tavern, but no one took it seriously. Today, they finally got to see her skills.
A skinny and petite girl instantly knocked down two big men who were several heads taller than her. She looked so neat and tidy, and even the silly hair on her head made her look very handsome.
In comparison, the running Tatsuya is the weakest one! Even if he points a gun at others, he doesn't look impressive at all.
As a result, many guests who were familiar with Zhang Da began to make fun of him and tease him, asking if he ran every day to practice escaping.
Zhang Da also turned around and yelled, "That's enough! If you keep on teasing me, I'll raise the price! And I'll raise it now!"
"Whoa..." These people are not afraid at all. Let the price go up, it will go up sooner or later anyway, so they just enjoy it first.
They are not afraid of anyone. The three hooligans are almost scared. We are just eating a free meal, so we don’t need to pull out guns, right? And can you guys who are watching the fun be quiet? What if the boss gets angry because of the ridicule and accidentally fires?
"We can talk it over, we can talk it over..."
“We were wrong!”
“We’ll give you money!”
After being knocked down, the three hooligans were very easy to talk to. They quickly took out the money from their pockets and placed it respectfully on the ground.
Zhang Daye: “…”
You guys are so straightforward that it makes it very difficult for me to deal with you. I was thinking of beating you up or sending you to the sheriff if you can't come up with the money.
Yes, there are sheriffs outside the illegal areas of the Sabaody Archipelago, similar to the sheriff Ken in Nami's hometown. They are grassroots staff affiliated with the World Government. After all, the navy's duty is to catch pirates, and not everything can be left to the navy.
“Why do you want to dine and dine if you have money!” Zhang Da also knocked on the gangster’s head. The money they took out was almost three times the compensation.
"We brothers are just being foolish and greedy for a small advantage, little boss... no, big boss Tatsuya, don't you think so..."
Zhang Daye still felt unhappy. After thinking for a while, he put away his gun, grabbed the back of his collar with one hand and the hem of his clothes with the other hand, lifted him up, shook him twice, and threw him out of the door.
The man realized his fate but did not dare to resist and fell to the ground.
Zhang Da also clapped his hands, feeling that his training over the past month was not in vain as he could throw someone far away so easily.
When Tom saw his action, his eyes lit up. He exerted force and lifted up the person he was holding. However, due to his height, the person was a little low to the ground, but he still threw him out successfully.
Zhang Da also looked up at the ceiling while watching Tom's movements. After so much training, he still couldn't compare to this cat lying flat. He might as well just be a pendant...
This was not the end. Just as Altria was about to do the same, Tom stretched out a hand to stop her, motioned for me to do it, and then picked up the third person as usual, walked to the door and kicked him in the butt.
This man also flew out, but was more unlucky than the other two. He fell directly into the trash can. The lid of the trash can flipped countless times. When he stuck his head out of the trash can, a banana peel was right on his head.
Tom was very satisfied with his work, clapped his hands and turned back to the tavern.
He was greeted by the cheers and whistles of the tavern guests, as well as Zhang Daye's complicated look - it's not difficult to lift someone up, but how much strength does it take to kick someone more than ten meters away ...
Tom bowed to those who were cheering, followed Altria back to the bar, clinked glasses with him, and finished his drink.
Altria was in a good mood because she had completed the job that Tatsuya had assigned her as a tavern guard. This way she could eat with a clear conscience, right?
Well, this donut is good. Tom was handed one. He bit the donut, and the ahoge on his head swayed, showing his owner's mood.
To be honest, Zhang Da also felt isolated. He could only pick up the banknotes on the ground with tears in his eyes and count them.
"By the way, does anyone know those three people just now? Did they really want to eat a free meal on a whim?" Zhang Da always felt that something was wrong.
An enthusiastic customer answered, "I know them. They are the three Scott brothers. Their names seem to be Foster, Sixend and Thurd. They are the three rogues of 57GR. It's not the first time they have done such a thing. Usually they only dare to cause trouble in small restaurants. Many owners will swallow their anger. This time, they must have been scared by you, Tatsuya-kun, so they behaved so well."
"He's a repeat offender..." That shouldn't be a problem? It sounds like he doesn't have any background or power.
Zhang Da was relieved and said with a sad heart: "Thank you, I'll give you a 9.99% discount on your purchase this time!"
"Too stingy!"
Zhang Daye’s words were met with unanimous complaints from his drinking buddies.
"Hahaha, it's a small business, and I have to support my family." Zhang Daye said this with great sincerity. If he gave random discounts, he would really not be able to support his family!
