Chapter 350: Fate
"Looking east to Jieshi, I can see the vast ocean", "There will be a time to ride the wind and waves, and set sail to cross the vast ocean"...
If it was an ordinary day or if he saw such spectacular waves from a distance, Zhang Da might be able to recite a few similar poems to show off his elegance, but now he just wanted to run away.
With such a huge wave hitting his body, he probably won't die with his current physical condition, but it will definitely be very painful. And Perona and Brook, who are people with special abilities, will definitely not feel good.
So Zhang Daye grabbed Perona with his left hand and dragged Brook with his right hand. His legs turned like wheels and he ran very fast, even raising a cloud of dust behind him. He almost caught up with Altria who had taken action first.
Seeing him like this, Altria sped up her pace - Tatsuya, you idiot, the food won't taste good if dust gets into it.
Wendy was grabbed by Xia Lulu and flew upwards quickly, both of them had terrified expressions on their faces.
Chili Shark deliberately stayed last, intending to rescue anyone in case they fell into the water. Of course, Tom, who was running towards the waves in both directions with his surfboard, was not included.
Ye Yan put forth all his energy in a 100-meter sprint, but still felt that he was not running fast enough, so he summoned the flag monsters and planned to let them carry him as he ran.
However, after the eight flag monsters took a look at the situation, six of them instantly went back into the Huang Yao Banner. Jin Erpeng subconsciously flew into the sky, leaving only the Tide-Calling Mermaid, who was not afraid of water, following Ye Yan and preparing to rescue him after he fell into the water.
"You are a bunch of ungrateful people!" Ye Yan roared as he ran, "After this is over, all of you go wash the deck! Wash it ten times a day!"
"Ah! Deck!" Rui Mengmeng was suddenly awakened when she heard the word "deck": "Amber! What about Amber?"
She looked back anxiously, only to see that Tom had already pulled back the anchor and was steering the Amber towards the mouth of the canal. Calculating the distance, she knew that the ship would not be overturned by the waves at that location. At most, it would be pushed upstream along the canal for a short distance.
Rui Mengmeng breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Teacher Tom was reliable and never forgot to save the boat before going surfing.
However, the real Tom was lying on the surfboard, paddling with both hands and riding the huge waves.
The surfboard carried Tom higher with the waves. Tom stood up and tried to keep his balance. After finding the feeling, he began to pose in various postures, such as standing on his hips, twisting his buttocks, standing on one leg, and spreading his wings...
Tom tried every pose he could think of and had a lot of fun, until... he and his surfboard were hit against the mountain wall by a huge wave.
With a splash, the waves receded, the sea water gradually calmed down, and the surfboard slid down from the mountain wall. Tom, who was the same shape as the surfboard, floated down like a piece of paper, lying on his back on the ground, blinking innocently.
The Amber was driven by the huge waves and rushed upstream along the canal for a distance, and then floated downstream again, safe and sound.
Altria held the dining table with one hand and with the other hand, she swung her sword to carve out a platform on the mountain wall, and then prepared to continue eating as if nothing had happened.
Zhang Da was also very sensible and lent his favorite folding stool to Altria.
"Yo, oh, oh~ Lab has really grown up!" Brooke was fixing his hair and grinning, feeling relieved that his child could stand on his own.
Perona punched him on the waist: "How dare you laugh? It's so scary!"
"But, I have no face... Yo roo roo roo~" He told a reverse skeleton joke 'just right', and Brooke held his stomach and laughed so hard that tears came out.
Kurokas turned around and looked at the lighthouse below. Fortunately, the quality of the lighthouse was good and it was not destroyed by the waves. However, he remembered that the doors and windows were not closed properly, so he would have to clean them up later.
Lab came to the shore feeling aggrieved, whimpering softly.
At this time, the flag demon Ma Laowu came out from the Huang Demon Banner and said, "He said he didn't mean it. He's sorry and will be more careful next time."
Of course Brooke ran down to comfort her first.
Ye Yan was surprised and said, "Fuck, you even understand whale language? How many foreign languages have you learned?"
Ma Laowu said modestly: "Hehe, I just happen to know a little bit, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning."
"Okay, let's not talk about it if it's not worth mentioning." Ye Yan made a ferocious expression, "Then let's talk about how you just left me and ran away."
"Master! Please mention it!" Ma Laowu hugged Ye Yan's thigh and cried, "Those guys are guilty, but at least I can be considered to have made up for my crime, right?"
Several other flag monsters came out and fought with Ma Laowu: "You disloyal bastard, you actually ran away!"
Perona watched the fight between the flag monsters with great interest, and even pulled Rui Mengmeng and Wendy to cheer on them.
Perona said excitedly: "Who do you think will win? I guess it's Lu Dashan, bet a piece of chocolate!"
Rui Mengmeng thought it was a bit childish, but after thinking about it, she decided to play with her and said, "I'll choose the Golden Tongue Man, he looks very impressive. "
"We really don't need to stop them?" Wendy showed an embarrassment, but this atmosphere of fighting at the slightest disagreement made her feel like she was back in the familiarity of the guild.
Is this proof that they have a good relationship? Wendy thought about this and said, "Then I'll choose Mo Li Zha."
The flag monsters who were being watched not only did not feel uncomfortable at all, but they fought even harder because there were girls watching them. The three who had support were especially excited.
Ye Yan thought about it and decided not to spoil the fun. He decided that when he turned around and announced the punishment, whoever won would get double the pay, so that those who are more capable would get more work.
"Miss Wendy!" When the battle was fierce, Brooke ran to Wendy and asked sincerely, "Excuse me, can the scars on Lab's head be healed?"
Wendy carefully looked at the scars on Lab's head left by the collision with the Red Earth Continent, and said guiltily: "I'm sorry! If it was just recently injured, it would be fine, but, but these wounds have healed, and, and they are too big... I'm sorry!"
Although Wendy found Lab's story touching and wanted to help him if she could, she really couldn't do that with a scar like that.
"Is that so?" Brooke felt a little disappointed. These scars were caused because they did not come back in time. He felt sad every time he saw them.
"Woo~" Lab let out a long cry.
Ma Laowu poked his head out from the battle group in his busy schedule and translated, "He said please don't mind these scars. They are proof that he misses his companions. These scars mean that he will never forget his companions."
"Ouch! Which bastard attacked me? Do you have any martial ethics? Hit the monster instead of the face!" Ma Laowu cursed and retracted his head to continue fighting.
"Okay, Lab said he doesn't care anymore. Isn't it said that scars are the medals of manliness?" Zhang Da also advised, and then said, "Those who need to fight can fight, those who need to sing can sing, and the party continues!"
Kurokas glanced at the dining table and said, "I think it would be better to prepare some more ingredients."
Zhang Da didn't even turn around, and nodded without thinking: "That makes sense."
There was no need to worry too much about the food. Lab's splashing jump not only gave everyone exercise to help digest the food, but also brought abundant aquatic products to the shore, including various fish, shrimps and crabs, and even a small sea beast stuck in the gate under the lighthouse.
Tom, who had recovered, was happily choosing his favorite fish, as if it was not him who had been flattened just now.
Others soon joined in carrying various containers. After Lab saw what they were doing, he gently turned over and sank into the water. After a while, he flicked his tail and knocked a sea beast unconscious and threw it ashore.
"Yohohoho~ You've become more reliable, Lab!" Brook praised.
"Woo~" Lab responded happily, and then dived into the water again. Not long after, several big fish flew ashore in a daze.
Such an efficient fishing method was recognized by Altria and Tom. They no longer looked at Laboo as if he was looking at the food, which made Laboo's sense of security rise several levels.
Seeing this, Zhang Da also asked curiously: "Mr. Kulokas, if you have been guarding the tower here all the time, how do you get your supplies? Is it also like Lab fishing to feed you?"
"Of course not." Kurokas said, "Don't look at me like this. I used to be half of Lab's owner. How can an owner rely on a pet to support him?"
Zhang Daye's face turned red and he said, "I'm sorry, I was just a useless pet owner from the beginning. It was only recently that I gained the ability to survive on my own in this world."
Fortunately, Kulokas was not deliberately humiliating Zhang Daye, and continued: "There is also a reward for guarding the tower. You can go to the nearby town to buy some things. Besides, I can fish myself."
"Nearby town?"
"That's right. For example, the nearest Whiskey Mountain only takes half a day to get there by boat. If you're strong enough, you can even swim there." Kurokas said, "But I heard recently that the town has been occupied by a criminal gang. If you want supplies, it's best..."
Kurokas paused, and subconsciously said what he would say to the rookie who had just arrived at the Grand Line, and then he realized that the people in front of him seemed to like to find criminals the most.
Zhang Da also nodded: "Yes, I understand. If you need supplies, it's best to go to this town. Maybe you can buy it for free."
Kurokas opened his mouth but could not come up with any words of persuasion. Finally, he asked, "Is it okay to decide the route so hastily?"
Zhang Da also said: "It doesn't matter. We are going to Alabasta anyway, and we happen to be on this route. What's more coincidental is that the Midnight you mentioned also happens to take this route. This is all fate!"
Kurokas was speechless. I thought you were just joking. Are you really going to catch him? I don't think it's worth saying anything bad about you, right? Even though his head is worth 40 million.
If Zhang Da knew what he was thinking, he would definitely reply that if you don't run a household, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. You have no idea how much it costs to feed a group of foodies.
…
After a short rest at Twin Capes, everyone went to experience the feeling of riding on the back of an island whale, and even went for a spin in Labu's stomach.
Only then did Brook realize how much effort Kurokas had put into Laboo. Because Laboo's skin was too thick, Kurokas even built a channel in Laboo's body so that he could inject a sedative when Laboo went crazy.
And because Lab's madness became more and more frequent, he was also thinking about building a small holiday island and living directly in Lab's stomach, and then painting patterns such as blue sky and white clouds on the stomach wall.
Zhang Da also looked confused. Although he found it very interesting when reading the comics, now it seems weird no matter whether it is drilling holes in the body, installing doors, or drawing in the stomach. And where does the light in the stomach come from?
