Chapter 428 Return to Shampoo Land
"Tianlong's——Roar!"
A magic circle appeared in front of Wendy, and a thick tornado swept away the fog in front of them. Everyone's vision became wider in an instant, but it didn't take long before the surrounding fog filled up again.
"Tianlong's——Roar!"
A small magic circle appeared in front of Zhang Daye, and a tiny tornado stirred up the small cloud of mist in front of him, and almost nothing happened.
“Puff~”
When Wendy was still thinking about how to comfort Brother Tatsuya, Ye Yan had already laughed out loud: "Hahaha! Mr. Ye, haha, you Tianlong Roar... Do Tianlong yawn?"
"Get lost! Have you learned the Lord of Night? You still have the nerve to laugh at me. Don't wait until I master it before you!"
"Practicing more." Ye Yan took out a black hooded robe with red edges and put it on. "Here, this Domination suit is customized according to your description. It will be very helpful in finding the feeling of Domination state. Would you like a set?"
Zhang Da also looked at this funny guy. He was so lively and energetic, and he was completely different from the cold ruler that day. It would be a miracle if he could find the feeling. "According to you, Wendy and I have to change into her clothes to learn magic?"
"Hey, I'm really hard to say." Ye Yan looked at Wendy's skirt and raised his eyebrows at Zhang Da, "I didn't expect you to have such good taste in clothes."
Xia Lulu flew up and patted Ye Yan on the forehead: "That's enough!"
Wendy was silently struggling beside him, if Tatsuya-geun asked me to borrow his clothes, should I lend them to him? But he can't wear them, right?
No, he and Xia Lulu learned the magic of transformation, and their clothes can become bigger...
Wendy was a child with a rich imagination. She imagined what Zhang Da would look like wearing her clothes in her mind in a minute, and her little face turned red little by little.
Xia Lulu patted Wendy's head again: "Don't use your imagination at this time!"
Tom held his chin and watched Xia Lulu fight this and that with a conflicted look on his face. Ever since Xia Lulu learned how to transform, Tom found her cat form more and more adorable.
However, since Xia Lulu had just learned the magic of transformation, she often maintained her human form for training, and her cat form was rarely seen, so Tom cherished her very much.
Zhang Da also practiced 'Tianlong Yawning' for a while, and the negative ghosts flew back one by one.
Perona reminded: "We will be able to get out soon."
"Thank you for your hard work. You're a great help." Shark Chili said. Perona's ability is really useful for sailing.
"You're welcome! Just... forget it." Perona wanted to ask the black-hearted boss to add some pocket money, but suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to have much money.
"Everyone, pay attention. The weather will be very bad when we get close to the Sabaody Archipelago. Be prepared!" According to Shark Pepper's research, the route before reaching the Sabaody Archipelago is similar to the conditions when departing from Twin Capes.
Because seven different shipping routes converge here and seven magnetic belts interfere with each other, the weather on the sea is also a mess.
They had experienced this when they set out from Champagne, but Shark Chili's navigation skills were still relatively immature at the time and he didn't know the reason.
"Okay!" Everyone responded in unison and took their seats.
Wendy and Xia Lulu stopped practicing and climbed up to the observation deck. If the weather changes are complicated, Wendy will have to show her skills in weather forecasting.
Zhang Daye's sky magic has not yet reached the level of weather forecasting. The most he can do is to report the weather immediately, that is, he will tell you that it will rain today after it starts to rain, which is the same level as the meteorological stations in some places.
Altria took the position of helmsman. In normal times, everyone could take over temporarily, or even turn the steering wheel for fun, but it was safer for her to do it in bad weather.
Jackie Chan took Vivi and Perona to the cabin. Someone might be needed to step on the pedal of the outer wheel later, so they went to prepare. Vivi also didn't like stormy weather.
Zhang Daye, Rui Mengmeng and Tom were busy fixing things on the deck, and if they couldn't be fixed, they moved them into the cabin.
Ye Yan took out the Huang Yao Banner and yawned. He was too lazy to work now, so he decided to exploit the flag monster.
…
"There's a storm ahead!"
Shark Chili shouted, "Retract the sail! Switch to outer wheel mode and break through!"
"The temperature ahead will suddenly drop, and there might be a blizzard!"
Ye Yan kicked the flag monster on the butt: "Go and give them clothes!"
"Tornadoes, lots of tornadoes, watch out for changing ocean currents!"
Shark Chili observed carefully for a while, and saw countless currents crisscrossing the sea like snakes: "Snake current! Altria, it's up to you, use Coke spray when necessary!"
Altria nodded, turned the steering wheel, and the Amber flexibly shuttled between the gaps in the ocean currents, and even flew out directly on the ocean current when necessary.
During the roller coaster-like boat ride, the Amber successfully passed through the area without any danger and saw the towering red earth continent.
"I'm back !" Zhang Da also tore off the tom stuck on the mast and shook it, and asked, "Do you still remember this place?"
Tom looked at the red cliff and nodded. He certainly remembered the days when he and his master drifted on a small wooden board and starved. The impression was too deep.
Thinking of this, Tom touched his belly and seemed to be a little hungry.
"We are quite lucky. If we had encountered a sea beast, we would have probably gone inside its stomach." Zhang Da now thought about this matter without much fear.
He felt that the worst outcome at the time might be that the sea monster overturned the board, and then he and Tom would soak in the sea for a few days. Or it could be that he would be eaten by the sea monster, and then Tom would fish him out of the sea monster's stomach, literally taking a dip in the sea monster's stomach.
Speaking of sea beasts, a sea hare about the same size as the Amber jumped out of the water and pounced towards them fiercely.
Thirty minutes later, everyone gathered in a circle in the restaurant and said, "The sea hares are so delicious!"
…
Chabaoti Archipelago, 59GR's dock.
The boatmen were working intensively. The six-year-old Bayer was following behind Goodman, watching him work with a small wooden hammer and a small hand saw.
Goodman quickly sawed a piece of wood and used a plane to smooth the surface. "Watch out, when handling wood, your hands must be steady and strong. It reminds me of when I was young..."
"Goodman, are you bragging to the kids again?" The boatman who worked with Goodman laughed, "Byer, why do n't you just learn from me!"
Goodman pouted, and the plane in his hand moved violently, and a piece of shavings flew towards the other party's face: "Who is bragging? Do you dare to say that your level is better than mine?"
"Of course... of course not." Everything else is fine, but he can't help but accept this. The title of the best shipbuilder in 59GR is not something Goodman brags about.
"Just because you can do something doesn't mean you can teach it..." The man muttered, and then changed the subject, "I don't think I've seen much news about Tatsuya and the others recently. Have you heard anything?"
"How can someone appear in the newspaper every day?" Goodman said, " The last time I heard about them was more than half a month ago, right?"
Bayer counted on his fingers and said quickly, "It was 17 days ago! Sister Altria defeated the world's greatest swordsman!"
"Hahaha, Bayer remembers it very clearly." Goodman touched his head. "It's been a little quiet recently, but maybe it will be here today?"
"Forget it." The boatman who had spoken to me earlier said disdainfully, "You've been saying this since three days ago."
There was a sudden noisy discussion at the dock:
"A ship is coming."
"It seems to be going very fast. What kind of ship is it?"
"It's too far away to see the flag clearly."
Goodman and his co-worker looked at each other and silently stopped what they were doing: "What a coincidence, isn't it?"
Little Baier's face lit up with joy, and he ran towards the dock: "Brother Tatsuya and the others are really back!?"
"No, it's a pirate ship, get ready!" Someone noticed the black flag on the top of the mast.
The boatmen were all prepared, as pirates were actually one of their target customers, but they could not accept that kind of business openly, and they had to be prepared at all times for the other party to turn against them and refuse to pay. The only advantage was that the price of repairing the ship could be increased a lot.
But this time the pirate ship was sailing so fast and looked so aggressive, it didn't seem like the type to negotiate business in a friendly manner.
In addition, 59GR is so close to the naval base of the Sabaody Archipelago, yet they dare to rush over so brazenly? Where did these stupid pirates come from?
"Bayer, go home, now!" Goodman grabbed Bayer. He was not afraid of ordinary pirates, but he could not let his son run around here. If he got hurt, he would have nowhere to cry.
“But…” Bayer wanted to see his father bravely fighting the pirates, but facing Goodman’s stern gaze, he could only walk out of the dock, looking back every few steps.
"Huh? What happened?"
"Am I dazzled? I seemed to see someone falling from the sky onto the pirate ship just now."
"Behind, there's another ship behind! That flag... cat?"
When the sailors were on full alert, the pirate ship suddenly seemed to have lost control of its rudder and turned inexplicably, revealing the Amber chasing them from behind.
Tom's smiling face on the flag made the boatmen laugh: "It's them!"
Little Baier also ran back happily: "It's really Brother Tatsuya and the others who are back!"
"It's still so dirty and messy, and the bounty is so low." Zhang Da was standing on the pirate ship with a look of disgust on his face, "But at least it's open for business."
There were already pirates lying on the ground all around. It was because he had hit the helmsman on the head with a folding stool that the pirate ship was running out of control.
Zhang Da also jumped onto the top of the mast, took down the pirate flag, and shouted to the Amber: "Let's go, just pull the ship over to Uncle Goodman's dock!"
The boatmen there are quite familiar with the situation and there is always someone watching the boat, so the pirate ship can be directly handed over to them.
As for the pirates, we can call the naval base later and ask them to come pick them up. I haven't seen them for so long, and I don't know how Lieutenant Colonel T. Penn and Major Kuro are doing.
The Amber and the pirate ship with its flag removed sailed into the dock together, and were greeted with cheers from the sailors.
Zhang Daye and Shark Chili waved to some familiar faces. They had dealt with the boatmen here a lot. In particular, Shark Chili, in order to learn about navigation and ship repair techniques, came over to chat with them... and perform.
Perhaps it was because they used to frequent the tavern and could see them doing morning exercises almost every day, the boatmen had watched Zhang Daye and his friends gradually become famous in Champagne and eventually go out to sea.
So when these people saw the Amber, they felt very familiar with it and did not feel that they were facing some big shot at all.
The only ones who would feel constrained would probably be the craftsmen who joined the shipyard after they had gone out to sea.
"Uncle Goodman, you are still so energetic!" Zhang Da also jumped off the boat, "Byer seems to have grown a lot taller."
Tom jumped down and reached out to touch Bayer's head. Although Tom was not tall enough, he could stretch out his hand to touch it.
"Hahaha, we were just saying that it's about time for you guys to come back, and we really came true!" Goodman laughed. "You guys caused quite a stir while you were out!"
"Actually, many of these were accidents. We just wanted to have an ordinary trip from the beginning." Zhang Da also said, "By the way, can I introduce you to our new companions after we set out to sea?"
Goodman smiled and said, "No need to introduce ourselves, we all know each other! We've seen each other in the newspaper more than once!"
"That's right! Isn't that the princess of Alabasta? You guys are really great to be able to travel with a princess!"
"Isn't that the Sky Priestess? She looks even cuter than in the photo!"
"Huh? The bones aren't there? I heard you have a moving skeleton here, where is it? Is this someone's ability?"
…
The shipwrights watched them for a long time, and Zhang Da also answered some questions with a smile. It was not until the shipyard owner Doc came that he sent them back to work.
Jackie Chan wiped his sweat and said, "They are really enthusiastic."
Ye Yan said calmly: "Fans are like this! As a celebrity, Uncle Long, you have to get used to this kind of thing quickly. It's a pity that there is no suitable stage for me to show my art properly."
"Mr. Tatsuya, long time no see!" Doc hurried over as soon as he heard the news. Zhang Tatsuya was also their big client.
Zhang Da was not interested in listening to his compliments, so he got straight to the point: "Mr. Doc, this ship is also handed over to you today."
"No problem, I guarantee to buy it at a high price!" Doc was very straightforward. He couldn't rip off the customers, at least not this group of people.
When Zhang Daye first approached him to sell a boat, he needed Goodman's help to raise the price. Now Doc simply gave him the highest market price.
After receiving the money, Zhang Daye and his friends talked to Goodman while waiting for the navy to come and pick them up.
Perona pulled Wendy and Vivi to surround Bayer and ask him all kinds of questions. Bayer, who was originally a naughty child, now seemed very well-behaved.
He had read in the newspaper that these three young ladies were not only cute but also very capable. Baier felt a little nervous when they surrounded him and asked him questions.
Especially the pink-haired one, why does he keep asking Tatsuya what embarrassing things he did in the past? Baier scratched Tom's tail, Tom has quite a few embarrassing things, do you want to hear them?
