Chapter 430: Foz F
Ding-a-ling, the bell at the door of the tavern rang, and a little girl stood at the door prettily.
Wendy and the others looked at this girl who was about their age with curiosity.
Zhang Da also recognized her: "Isn't this Mu Ke? She has grown a lot taller and become more beautiful!"
"Hehe, thank you, Tatsuya-kun. You guys are really back?" Miu Ke looked around curiously at everyone in the tavern. There were familiar faces, and there were also people I had never met. "I was passing by and heard someone talking about you guys, so I came to take a look."
Zhang Da also smiled and said, "You're here to promote milk?"
"Yeah, I've been seen through!" Miu admitted openly, "Because I heard that you guys, Tatsuya-kun, are going to stay here for a while."
"You really know how to seize business opportunities." Zhang Da also said, "Then let's start from tomorrow morning, twelve portions."
"Thank you, Brother Tatsuya!" Miao Ke accepted the advance payment from Zhang Tatsuya, took out a small notebook and wrote a few words, "Well, I still have work to do, so I won't bother you anymore~"
Zhang Da also waved his hand: "Come over and play when you have time. We have a few kids around your age here."
"Okay~" Mu Ke rode away on his family's bubble car that was used to deliver goods, and responded with a long tail tone, appearing full of energy.
Perona asked, "Who is that?"
"The daughter of the owner of the milk station in town should be 14 years old, the same age as you." Zhang Da also said, "She is a very sensible girl. You should learn from her."
Perona ignored the latter part of the sentence. She only knew that this child named Mu Ke seemed to be living a stable life here and would not be easy to kidnap.
Weiwei seemed to be thinking about something. Children from ordinary families at this age are already working hard to help their parents. It seems that they don’t have much time to play. It seems that Kosa is the same, right?
Zhang Da also clapped his hands: "Okay, go put everything away, and then choose some small gifts. We will go to Uncle Goodman's house later."
When I say small gifts, they are really just small gifts, things brought back from various islands. They may not be very expensive, but they are hard to get in Shampoo.
For example, Mrs. Molly would like the exquisite ornaments from the Kingdom of Goa, Bayer would like the powerful-looking triceratops horn from the small garden, and Uncle Goodman would be interested in the small wooden sculptures and ship models made specially for Icepago and Franky.
There were also more valuable jewels. Zhang Da had obtained quite a few from various pirates. If it was to be given to the Goodman family, he would not feel bad even if he gave away a box. However, doing so would make them uneasy and easily cause trouble, so he decided not to give it up.
Mrs. Molly was very happy to see Zhang Daye and his family. She talked to Zhang Daye for a long time, asking him if he had encountered any danger, if he had been sick on the way, etc. As they chatted, they talked about Goodman and the Bayers, what made her happy and what made her headache, which should be regarded as some family gossip.
Everyone could tell that their family lived a very ordinary and happy life.
Although there are some minor troubles in life, when talking about family, the expressions on their faces, whether joy or anger, clearly reveal happiness.
As evening approached, Mrs. Molly warmly invited everyone to dinner. Fortunately, everyone knew that they were family, so they were polite and spent most of the time chatting at the table.
Although Uncle Goodman and Jackie Chan had just met, they chatted naturally after a brief introduction by Shark Chili.
After a few drinks, Goodman began to brag about his troubles as a father. Although Jackie Chan is not a father, he unexpectedly felt that he could relate to him, and the two of them had a very good chat.
Mrs. Molly lovingly picked up food for the three little girls and asked them if they liked it. She was surprised for a while after Xia Lulu transformed, and then there was one more person to take care of.
The four little girls were cuter than each other, and Mrs. Molly wanted a daughter.
She had known for a long time that Weiwei was a princess, and was a little surprised that Weiwei didn't have the slightest airs of a princess.
Baier pestered Zhang Daye to tell him adventure stories for a while, and then played with Tom and Kalu. Compared with those difficult little sisters, Baier still prefers playing with pets.
Tom is very funny, while Carew is a little silly and can easily win the affection of children.
Bayer was a little curious about why Xia Lulu didn't play with him, until she turned into a beautiful girl with cat ears.
Bayer asked cautiously, "Tom, you can't transform, too?"
Tom shook his head. He now often doubted that Xia Lulu was not a cat. How could a cat transform?
Bayer breathed a sigh of relief. If Tom turned into a beautiful girl, he didn't know how to face him.
After chatting for a while, Zhang Da also thought of getting some information from Uncle Goodman: "I heard that a big incident happened in Shampoo after we left?"
Goodman recalled and said, "Yes, on the day you left, I heard that there was an explosion at the Employment Security Office, and the whole building was blown up."
Gas explosion? Zhang Da was stunned for a moment before he remembered that it was his own fault. He asked, "What happened next?"
"It seemed to have been turned into a casino, the largest casino in Shampoo Land. I heard that many nobles would go there to play, but it didn't take long for the ground to sink. And many casinos in the lawless zone also had sinkholes."
Goodman said puzzledly, "But the Chabaoti Archipelago is clearly the root system of mangroves. It is too strange that a sinkhole occurred above the tree roots. Moreover, it only occurred where there are casinos. It doesn't make sense no matter how you think about it."
"If you ask me, maybe those casino owners are trying to trip each other up and then retaliate against each other. Don't stories say that the business world is like a battlefield?" Goodman tried his best to use his imagination and made irresponsible guesses.
Zhang Da also asked: "That should have caused quite a commotion. Has this place been affected?"
"Not really. Because of the dedication of Lieutenant Colonel T. Penn, public security has improved a lot." Goodman said, "I also heard that Major General Kadalu wanted to take the opportunity to do something, such as reducing the scope of the illegal area. However, the Navy took action not long before it was abandoned."
Zhang Da also nodded. T. Pengen was a good man, and Kadalu should also be considered competent. However, it was obvious that some people did not want the illegal area to disappear, and put pressure on Kadalu. Moreover, those people were most likely the same people who investigated the tavern.
Huh? A light bulb flashed over Zhang Da's head. Wasn't this the chance to cause trouble for them?
I'm not doing anything special, I'm just doing my job. As a world-renowned bounty hunter, is it okay for me to go to illegal areas to catch bounties? It's also reasonable to take care of those criminals who are getting in our way, right?
If there is no lawless zone with lawless elements, can it still be called a lawless zone?
To be honest, this is a contribution to the public security of the Chabao Archipelago and to maintaining peace and justice on the sea. Not only do they have to give us money, they also have to thank us!
After making up his mind hastily, Zhang Da sat in Goodman's house for a while before saying goodbye and leaving.
…
In the evening, everyone did some training, had a midnight snack, and then went to bed.
The next morning, Tom got up and went out in high spirits. He took the newspaper out of the mailbox and tucked it under his arm. He also picked up the milk at the door and put it into the store. He hadn't done this for a long time and even missed it a little.
Others also got up and went downstairs one after another. Ye Yan had been on guard all night and was yawning while waiting for breakfast. The sleepy loli team was as sleepy as him.
Zhang Da also asked: "What's wrong? Are you not used to sleeping?"
Several people hesitated and were too embarrassed to speak. Finally, Wendy said with a red face, "Because... because we played pillow fight until midnight, and in the end no one slept well."
"Quack~" Kalu was also listless. Normally speaking, this kind of thing had nothing to do with him, but he was inexplicably dragged into it, and his wings were not convenient for throwing pillows, so he was beaten most of the time. He dared not make a sound while being beaten for fear of disturbing others. It was really miserable.
"Pillow fight?" Zhang Da was also surprised, "Even Xia Lulu participated?"
"Yeah." Xia Lulu nodded embarrassedly. Although she was more mature than the others and shouldn't play such childish games, the atmosphere was right and she couldn't help but join in.
"This is too much! We actually had a pillow fight until midnight!" Zhang Da was also angry, "I played until midnight and no one came to call me!"
He also wants to participate in such an interesting thing.
"Tatsuya, aren't you focusing on something wrong?" Jackie Chan reminded him, saying with a straight face, "Children should go to bed early."
Zhang Da also coughed and said, "Uncle Long is right. This will not happen again."
After all, they had just arrived here, and it was rare for them to live together, so it was normal for them to be excited.
After breakfast, Ye Yan went to Zhang Daye's room to catch up on some sleep. Uncle Long took the little girls to Shampoo Park to play. When they saw the Ferris wheel from afar yesterday, they wanted to go and take a ride on it.
Considering that they were unfamiliar with the place, Rui Mengmeng went with them to act as their tour guide.
Zhang Da also went to the dock and talked to Uncle Goodman about his plan to renovate the house. Goodman readily agreed and said that he would bring a few people to take a look at the design later and try to let them move in today.
After arranging these things, Zhang Da also took Tom, Altria and Shark Chili to the illegal area.
…
There was a trend that the lawless zone was about to be controlled by the navy. Some of the lawless elements gathered here were ready to fight to the death, while others were ready to evacuate at any time.
Unexpectedly, the navy's actions were just a lot of noise but little action. After reorganizing some areas, they immediately retreated.
Although they couldn't figure out the navy's intentions, it was certain that the lawless zone was still their territory, so they became even more arrogant as they were used to making trouble here.
"It's really noisy here, Captain." A woman wearing a black tights, fishnet stockings, a cat-ear mask, and a cat tail behind her said as she watched the fights and fights everywhere , "Do you want to kill them all?"
"Don't make trouble. We just need to wait until the coating is completed and then leave normally." The tall man in a red suit and a red mask said, "A group of troublesome people came to this island yesterday."
"The Amber Tour Group? If it's the captain, he will definitely be able to defeat them, right?" Catwoman is very confident in the strength of her captain. Captain Foz is a big shot who defected from the mysterious organization CP9. She has never seen anyone more powerful than the captain.
"Don't be careless, those people are not easy to deal with. Tell the guys to run away immediately when they see them." Although Foz F claimed to be a genius who was not inferior to Rob Lucci, he still had some idea of his own strength.
There is a swordsman in the Amber Travel Group who is comparable to the world's greatest swordsman. Although Foz F is not afraid of her, his crew is no match for her. If he is held back by that swordsman, the final outcome may be that all the crew members will die and he will be besieged, which would be very bad.
"Yes, Captain." Catwoman first delivered the message according to Foz F's order, and then asked, "Captain, you are so powerful, why do we have to be so cautious?"
"My 'colleagues' won't let a traitor like me go easily. Once my position is exposed, they will pounce on me like wolves smelling blood." Fuz F said, "How many of you can escape their assassination?"
CP9 is a secret intelligence agency directly under the World Government. Its existence is unknown to ordinary people. It is not easy to defect from such a department , and facing pursuit is inevitable.
If Foz Fu had not been robbed by the Red Hair Pirates while escorting the Rubber Fruit last year and lost the fruit, he would not have chosen to defect.
And there was one thing he didn't tell his men, that was that after he defected, he was captured once, and in prison he accidentally learned the secret of the rubber fruit and the legend of the sun god Nika.
Knowing this taboo, he knew that he would be executed sooner or later, so he escaped from prison, formed his own pirate group, and prepared to find a protective umbrella.
When he saw the title of the Four Emperors in the newspaper, Foz F knew that his chance had come. Kaido was going to form a real "Hundred Beasts" pirate group, and his abilities were just right. Maybe he could even get a very high position.
Even the World Government wouldn't dare to attack the Four Emperors' cadres at will, right?
Fuzzy F seemed to have remembered something and asked, "The coating matter concerns our lives. Is the craftsman you found okay?"
"No problem. We have inquired in many places. The 'coated old mine' has the best technology. As long as the money is enough, it can be completed in three days." Catwoman said, "We have been here for two days, which means that if everything goes well, we can go out to sea tomorrow."
Fuzzy F nodded, then frowned. "I met the person I least wanted to meet at this time."
Zhang Daye held a folding stool in his left hand and a frying pan in his right hand, and successfully persuaded the two groups of pirates who were fighting to lay down their weapons.
He glanced in the direction of Foz Fou: "It seems that I met someone who can fight."
