Chapter 399 Why Are You Wearing Tom's Clothes?
Zhang Da didn't have to worry about arranging a room for Weiwei, Perona had already chosen it for her. Weiwei and Kalu had been hiding in that room before, and now they just had to move their luggage in. It was right next to Uncle Long, who was now living in Brook's old room.
Perona, Wendy and Xia Lulu enthusiastically helped her move things and clean the room. Tiragoda also thoughtfully helped prepare clothes, shoes and various daily necessities.
However, Shark Chili still took the time to visit her and gave her a set of children's toothbrushes.
After thinking about it, Shark Chili ran back and took out a set of strange tooth tools and gave them to Kalu, which made everyone wonder, does the super fast running duck have teeth?
Things were almost in order. Perona sponsored some teddy bear dolls and Wendy also donated some decorations. It finally looked presentable.
"Where is Kalu going to sleep? On your bed?" Perona asked curiously. She knew that Xia Lulu always slept on the bed with Wendy. Although Tom had his own little nest, he also slept on the bed with Zhang Da most of the time. But Kalu's body size made it seem strange for him to sleep on the bed.
"For Karu, just spread a blanket on the floor." Weiwei gestured, "Just spread it next to my bed."
"Quack!" Kalu raised his wings in approval.
Wendy said, "It feels a bit pitiful. Why not ask Tom to help make a nest? It will definitely be very comfortable."
"Is it okay?" Vivi only knew that Tom was good at building sand castles, and had never seen him make anything else.
"Just ask him for a favor. He'll be very happy if you catch some fish for him when you have time." Perona took out a small box from the big package on the ground. "What is this?"
"I don't know either. Let's open it and take a look." Weiwei opened the small box, and stacks of Baileys were neatly placed inside. "So much money!"
"That's tens of millions of Baileys, right?" Xia Lulu estimated and said, "Your father gave you a lot of pocket money."
"But you don't need that much, do you?" Weiwei closed the box. "Why not just give it to Brother Tatsuya as accommodation and food expenses?"
"Huh? Accommodation and food expenses? Is there such a thing?" Perona was shocked, feeling as if she had been eating for free. No, no, she was helping with the work.
…
"Huh? That's not necessary, right?" Zhang Da was also a little confused as he looked at the box of Baileys that Weiwei handed to him. "You and Kaluga together don't eat as much as the cat, so why charge a fee?"
"Who are you talking about who eats the most?" Xia Lulu put her hands behind her back in dissatisfaction, but her face was a little red. Although she was small, her appetite was a little bigger than that of an ordinary adult. After all, she had been exercising with Wendy, and her physical strength and magic power had also increased a lot.
"I'm talking about Tom." Zhang Da didn't expose her.
Tom turned around curiously and looked at him questioningly.
"It's okay, go fishing." Zhang Da also twisted Tom's head back, and then said to Weiwei, "You should keep the money for yourself. Our funds are not that short of money yet."
Zhang Da also had a lot of gold and jewelry in his hands, which he had never sold. In addition, he actually knew that Tom had hidden a lot of Baileys in his cat bed...
"Oh." Weiwei didn't insist. It would be the same if she could just give it to everyone when they needed it. "Can Tom help build a nest for Kalu?"
"Build a nest for Kalu?"
Weiwei nodded: "Yes, because I want Kalu to live more comfortably."
"Of course... Hey, wait a minute, how about trying this?" Zhang Da also rummaged through the inventory and took out a small house with a red roof and white walls. There was a sign hanging on the door that read 'KILLER'.
[Spike's doghouse: comfortable and sturdy, warm in winter and cool in summer. Although it looks small, the space inside is very spacious, even enough for Spike to beat up Tom in it.]
"So beautiful, and the size is right." Weiwei said, "Kalu, what do you think?"
"Quack!" Kalu crawled in and tried it, and said he liked it very much.
Tom looked back curiously, gasped in fright, and jumped out with a whoosh. The fishing rod and the cat fur coat hung in the air for a while and then slowly fell down.
Zhang Da also caught the cat fur coat with one hand and the fishing rod with the other, and said helplessly : "If you like it, move it back. Don't let this thing appear in Tom's sight. I'll go get it."
"Is Tom okay?" Vivi looked into the distance worriedly. She remembered that the physical technique of flying in the air was called Moon Step, right?
Zhang Da also said: "It's okay, at most the shark will chase us for a while, it's not a big problem."
Weiwei nodded in conviction. That’s right, even the Kung Fu manatee can’t beat Tom, and no one can swim better than Tom, so she will definitely be fine.
Zhang Da also put away his fishing rod and went to find Tom with his cat fur coat. Out of curiosity, he put it on and tried it out: "It's not very warm, but after putting it on, I feel like my swimming speed has become faster, and... I feel like I can't beat anyone, and I can't beat anyone."
Amid the astonished eyes of others, Zhang Da also put on a cat-skin coat, swung his hands like propellers, drew a white line on the sea, and rushed quickly to where Tom fell into the water.
A few seconds later, the man and the cat were swimming in a zigzag pattern on the sea. A shark followed behind them, opening and closing its big mouth full of sharp teeth. Every time it bit, Zhang Daye and Tom would suddenly jump forward.
After walking the shark back and forth several times, Zhang Da suddenly felt something was wrong. Why should I be afraid of a shark? He put his cat fur coat back on Tom and felt that he was no longer afraid.
"Go!" Zhang Da also faced the shark and punched it on the side of its head.
The shark flew towards the Amber, its teeth scattering in the sea.
Shark Chili caught the flying shark and threw it onto the deck. He looked at the fish's mouth and sighed that Zhang Da was cruel for breaking its teeth. Then he sent the shark to the kitchen. He didn't feel any sense of hurting his own kind, after all, it was a robot, it just looked like a shark.
Thanks to Tom, we can have an extra dish at noon. Although the quality of shark meat is not good, it is not difficult for the excellent chef Tom to cook it.
As the fragrance wafted out from the kitchen, a newspaper gull landed at the window of the observation tower. Uncle Long took out a coin and put it into the cash box, then took a newspaper.
Zhang Da also asked, "Is there any big news?"
Ye Yan joked, "Maybe the front page will say 'A certain tour group kidnapped a princess from a certain country, and the navy reminds kings of all countries to be vigilant.'"
"This should be considered big news, right?" Jackie Chan threw the newspaper down, "You should read it yourself."
Zhang Da also took the newspaper and unfolded it:
"A fierce battle! Wufeng Ship Master Wang Zhi vs Red Hair Shanks!"
"Shanks and Ouzhi are fighting? Are they fighting for the position of the Four Emperors?"
…
New World, on the Red Force, musician Benck Punch is reading the contents of the newspaper to his companions:
"World Economic News, April 13, 1511, Haiyuan calendar:
On the morning of April 10, the newly promoted Four Emperors Five Peaks Pirates came into contact with the Red Hair Pirates for unknown reasons, but a conflict broke out at noon and the two sides fought for nearly three days and two nights!
After this battle, the Gofeng Pirates suffered nearly a thousand casualties, and the Red Hair Pirates escaped in embarrassment!
However, there were only 9 members in the Red Hair Pirates and a pet monkey, and no one was injured in this battle. So who was the winner and loser of this battle?
The following is a detailed battle situation: ...
Judging from the above information, the Red Hair Pirates are indeed the "most balanced iron-walled pirate group"! 」
"Squeak!" A strong monkey was hanging on Bunker Punch's neck and pulling his cheek in dissatisfaction.
The others laughed together: "Hahaha, as expected, Mengshida is treated as a pet!"
"Squeak!" Mengshida protested. He was obviously also an official member and Benk Punch's partner.
"Hey, Mengshida, you touched my wound and it hurts!" Benk Punch complained.
After laughing for a while, Ben Beckman took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Although the newspapers said that we had zero casualties, in fact everyone was injured. This kind of 'old veteran' is not so easy to deal with."
"Anyway, even the newspapers say we won, so let's have a party!" Shanks always looked silly in front of his own people, "Hey, party, party!"
Chef Laqi Lu kept stealing meat from his employer and kept talking: "I know, I know. The ingredients are barely enough, but the wine is running low. We need to find a place to resupply quickly."
"It's all because of some idiot who always wants to hold parties!" Others mercilessly complained about the captain.
Although everyone was injured, fortunately there was no loss of members, and the Red Hair Pirates were still happy. However, in the eyes of some pirates in the New World, their actions were like a husky mixed with wolves, which was different from their style in any way.
The most troublesome thing is that the fighting power of this Husky is a bit outrageous. Even Wang Zhi lost a lot of face when he faced them. After such a news was released, no one would dare to underestimate them anymore.
On the contrary, the king would face a lot of trouble if he came down directly. As a newly-promoted Four Emperors, being beaten by a small pirate group of only ten people, including the monkey, would inevitably make people think that he is easy to bully.
No one knew that the so-called 'nearly a thousand casualties' in this war were actually just small fry, and the real top leaders did not actually determine the winner.
Wang Zhi felt bitter. He felt that Morgans was targeting him, or that the World Government had instructed him to do so.
Because this would allow those smaller groups to see the possibility of defeating the Four Emperors and replacing them, and then they would desperately target him, the 'newly defeated' Four Emperors, and constantly deplete the strength of his subordinates.
In addition, Wang Zhi knew that his old friends were not easy to deal with. Newgate was relatively okay, but Lingling and Kaido might come and do something.
"Damn you! The World Government is no good!" Wang Zhi cursed, feeling like he was stabbed in the back, "The red-haired brat is also a fool!"
At this point, Wang Zhi felt that he had to either find Red Hair and completely destroy them, or reduce his sphere of influence and give up the title of the Four Emperors, or at most lose some face. He needed to think about this carefully.
…
The affairs of the New World have nothing to do with Zhang Da for the time being. He was just slightly surprised when he saw the news about Shanks, and then he threw down the newspaper and went on with his own training.
"A swinging right fist?" Zhang Da also leaned back suddenly with his eye mask on, and a gust of wind passed through the tip of his nose, which meant that he guessed correctly.
"Sweeping kick?" Zhang Da also took advantage of the situation to do a back flip and avoided Ye Yan's attack again.
"Right straight punch..." Zhang Da also raised his left arm to block, "Change to a grappling hand..."
"Hey, stealing peaches is too much!" Zhang Da also said angrily, "Believe it or not, I will give you a fatal scissor kick!"
Ye Yan said with a playful smile: "I will stop at the critical moment, just to test whether you have really mastered the observation Haki or are too familiar with my attack pattern."
About two months have passed since Zhang Da accepted Zefa's instruction, and four months have passed since he was last beaten by Garp. Zhang Da's day-to-day practice has finally paid off, and he has made some progress in his Observation Haki.
Now when I spar with others, as long as I concentrate, even with my eyes closed I can still feel that there is a person whose face I can't see clearly making moves, and I can also clearly feel the position of my companions on the boat.
The biggest problem is that after opening your eyes, you may find it difficult to concentrate because you see too many things, so this requires some getting used to.
Zhang Da also took off his blindfold: "Next, I will practice with my eyes open. You can release the flag monster and punch me in the blind spot of my vision."
"No more fighting. I want to take a nap. You can go find Uncle Long, or let the flag demon play with you." Ye Yan threw down the Huang Yao Banner and left.
Are you kidding? The reason why I agreed to train with Zhang Da is because he hasn't mastered the Observation Haki yet, so Ye Yan can beat him up legitimately. Now that he has mastered the Observation Haki, why should I accompany him? Are you waiting to be beaten? Ye Yan said he would not do such a stupid thing.
“Eh…?” Zhang Da had no choice but to fiddle with the Huang Yao Banner and think about who to ask for his sparring partner.
More than an hour later, Altria's cheerful voice came through the loudspeaker: "It's tea time!"
"Let's take a break." Zhang Da also looked at Ma Laowu and Huanchao Jiao who were practicing with him, and asked, "Would you like to have a drink?"
“No, no, we want to go back to the Huang Yao Banner and rest for a while.” Zhang Daye had just been attacked by a dozen punches. Although it was Zhang Daye’s initiative, the two flag monsters were still very panicked.
"Okay." Zhang Da also put away the Huang Yao Banner and left the training room.
Except for Rui Mengmeng who took a drink and snack back to the observation deck, everyone was already eating and drinking in the small bar.
Zhang Da also asked, "We have lived on the boat for two days. Are you used to it, Weiwei?"
Weiwei replied, "I'm used to it. Tom's cooking is super delicious! Except for the first day when I was so happy that I couldn't sleep, everything was fine. It was fun to exercise with Wendy and play with Perona!"
Perona screamed, "Ah, Vivi, you betrayed me!"
"Ah?" Weiwei was puzzled, "But I didn't say anything about you being lazy?"
"Huh? It seems so." Perona thought for a moment, "No! Didn't you just say it out loud?!"
"Oh, sorry!"
This girl Weiwei can be a little naive sometimes.
