Chapter 434: Unlucky Rayleigh
The dinner in the pub is always sumptuous. Eight dishes and one soup are not enough. At least eight dishes and one soup per person are required.
Tom and Rui Mengmeng have become accustomed to cooking a lot of meals every day. After accumulating a lot of experience, Rui Mengmeng's cooking skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and she has an advantage that ordinary chefs do not have - she will never get tired.
Even asking her to swim ten kilometers after cooking would be no problem.
Zhang Da also picked up a bowl of hot soup, blew on the hot steam, carefully sipped along the edge of the bowl, and finally decided to let it air dry. He asked, "What do you think of this island?"
Weiwei said, "It's amazing! The bubbles are beautiful!"
Wendy said: "It feels so unreal, like a dream."
"Today I saw a lot of people wearing cute doll costumes." Perona said with a look of regret, "But their performance level is too bad, not as good as one of us."
"I'll take it as you're praising my art." Ye Yan showed an interested look and said, "Is there such an activity in Shampoo Park? It seems I need to go and take a look."
"Go if you want to, but remember not to pretend to be an astronaut here." Zhang Da was also worried that Ye Yan would accidentally step on a landmine.
Ye Yan said: "Don't worry, I still understand this kind of common sense."
"Oh, by the way, lend us Sui Feng Er and Jin Er Peng tomorrow."
"What do you want them for?"
Zhang Da also said: "We have created such a big scene today that any criminal with a bit of brains will probably keep their tails between legs tomorrow. It will definitely be difficult to find them. Let them go and collect some information."
Ye Yan nodded: "Oh, I'll lend you all eight."
"No need." Zhang Da also waved his hand, "You are such a rude person. I'm afraid you will get beaten if you don't bring a few bodyguards with you."
"..." Ye Yan said dissatisfiedly, "I changed my mind. Flag monsters are not available for loan. They can only be rented by the hour!"
Zhang Da also immediately corrected himself: "Ah, I just said the wrong thing. A performance artist as talented as you will definitely be very popular when you go out, with flowers and applause everywhere."
Xia Lulu looked at them with disdain: "Wendy, let's have less contact with these two shameless people in the future."
Wendy smiled awkwardly: "They were just joking..."
Jackie Chan said worriedly, "Is it okay to make all the criminals on the island enemies all at once, with so many hiding in the dark? I mean, will their friends or relatives come to retaliate, like setting a fire in the middle of the night?"
Uncle Long lived with his father in America, so he was more aware of the dangers.
"If they dare to come, it will be convenient for us." Zhang Da also said, "Besides, we have Ye Yan here. If the night watchman has someone burn down the house at night, then we will be finished."
Ye Yan narrowed his eyes: "Although it's a compliment, the more I listen, the more it sounds like a threat."
"Illusion." Zhang Da also said, "If you want to go out to play tomorrow, remember to help Uncle Long look after Weiwei and the others."
"..."Taking care of a child is very troublesome. Ye Yan began to think about which flag monster is good at taking care of children.
"Um..." Weiwei hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother Tatsuya, I want to go with you guys tomorrow."
"Huh? Don't you want to go out and play?" Zhang Da also asked.
"No, I just keep hearing you guys talk about the lawless zone, and I'm curious about what it's like." Weiwei said, "If I don't go now, I might never have the chance to see it again, right?"
"That's true." Zhang Da also sighed and said, "But when you say that, it makes it seem like we've destroyed something precious."
Weiwei quickly denied: "No, that's not what I meant, it's just..."
Zhang Da also smiled and said, "I know. You just want to see it while it's still there, right? It's actually very similar to the previous Gaya Island. It's a morbid place where civilians and criminals coexist in a subtle way. You can go and see it if you want."
Zhang Da was also very pleased with Weiwei's willingness to give up playing and go to the illegal zone to broaden her horizons. After taking her out for a long time, Zhang Da unconsciously treated her the same as Perona, and almost forgot that she was not just out for fun - a little sorry for Cobra.
Fortunately, I discovered it not too late. It seems that in addition to the general cultural knowledge and physical training, I need to do more social practice in the future.
So after dinner, Zhang Da added an evening class for them amid Perona's complaints.
It mainly explains the distribution of the various islands in the Chabaody Archipelago and the main features of each area. It also talks about the good things that the tavern had done before, so that everyone knows how many people Zhang had offended in Chabaody before.
Perona snickered, "You really know how to cause trouble."
"Don't talk like it's none of your business. Even though you had nothing to do with it at that time, now everyone knows that you are one of us. You won't be able to escape when trouble comes!" Zhang Da also knocked on her little head and threatened:
"Besides, you don't like to exercise, and you look skinny and weak. You might get hit by a club if you walk on the street."
Perona covered her head and complained loudly: "Why are you so troublesome!"
Because there are already a lot of troubles in this world, Zhang Da also said with a smile: "We make a living by causing trouble. I am still causing trouble. If I don't become stronger, I will be beaten to death sooner or later~"
"hateful!"
After the evening class, Zhang Da carried the sleepy Tom back to his room to sleep.
The tavern had been remodeled and cleaned during the day, and except for three lolis who still wanted to squeeze together, everyone else chose a room and moved in.
Zhang Da also threw Ye Yan's luggage into Ye Yan's own room with disgust. This guy borrowed his room to sleep in during the day and even complained about the cat hair on the bed. It was obvious that Tom rarely shed hair except when fighting.
…
At one o'clock in the middle of the night, Zhang Daye pressed the alarm clock with his right hand, pulled his left hand out of Tom's mouth, and quickly put a pacifier back.
Tom smacked his lips, sucked the pacifier hard a few times, turned over and continued to sleep.
Zhang Da also got out of bed quietly and walked towards the door. After thinking for a while, he turned back and wiped his saliva-covered left hand on Tom's body.
Tom might have felt a little itchy, so he kicked his hind legs a few times like a normal cat, then sucked on his pacifier and continued to sleep.
Zhang Da also suddenly felt a little bit like a dog.
On the roof of the tavern, Ye Yan yawned listlessly: "Haa~ It's really uncomfortable not taking a nap."
The sensible flag monster Sui Feng Er came out and said, "Master, how about we stay here and watch while you go back and rest?"
"Forget it. I'm counting on you guys to get information tomorrow." Ye Yan rejected his proposal, then yawned loudly, tears coming out of the corners of his eyes:
"Besides, I have so many enemies. If something really happens, I will be finished with my life just like he said."
"You should go down and have a rest. I'll keep an eye on this place."
"Didn't I say... Eh?" Ye Yan recognized Zhang Daye's voice, "Why are you here?"
"I'm here to take your place." Zhang Da also said, "You didn't sleep well during the day."
Ye Yan got into a defensive posture: "Damn it, you're so nice to me all of a sudden, are you trying to take advantage of me? I'm selling my art, not my body!"
"Go away! I'm straight, and only would be interested!"
Maybe it was because someone asked about Brook when he just returned to Shampoo Land, Ye Yan was inspired and urgently customized a bone suit - a bone as tall as a person, with only hands, feet and face exposed.
"Aren't you going to fight tomorrow? Are you sure you want to keep watch?"
"I am at least half a night watchman." Zhang Da also took out his weapon, "Look, your grandfather's soul-calming gong!"
"It's my great-grandfather's." Ye Yan corrected unhappily, "And you'd better remember the generation wrong and not scold me on purpose."
"Hehe~" Zhang Da also grinned, obviously doing it on purpose.
"Alas." Ye Yan was too lazy to complain about him. "I'm a little envious of you for having the ability to be a night watchman and being able to sleep well . I'm both sleepy and energetic now, and I won't be able to fall asleep even if I go back."
Zhang Da also said, "It's already past midnight. I'm so sleepy, I should be able to take a nap, right?"
Ye Yan was surprised and asked, "You can also calculate the time?"
Zhang Da said as a matter of course: "You have taught me how to calculate with your heart, it's a very basic thing, okay?"
"I have taught you, but I didn't expect you to have time to learn something that is difficult to use in combat." Ye Yan remembered that Zhang Da had always focused on improving combat effectiveness, and there were so many things to learn, which made Ye Yan very stressed every day.
Zhang Da also pointed to his right upper abdomen and said, "Liver. If I didn't study hard, Perona would have said she wanted to follow my example."
"You're awesome. I'm leaving now." Ye Yan had nothing more to say. He went back to rest and work harder tomorrow.
"You can call me if you want to hear a lullaby."
"Need not."
"I also know how to use a timer hammer to ensure efficient sleep!"
"roll!"
…
Ye Yan returned to the house, and Zhang Da also looked at the silent night sky alone. The tall Yarchiman mangroves blocked a lot of starlight. Bubbles continued to emerge from the ground and floated into the sky, but without the sunlight, the bubbles also lost their colorful colors.
I don't know what the climate is like in the Chabaobab Archipelago, but you can hear crickets chirping as early as the end of May. Well, it's a bit noisy if you hear it too much.
"Is Ye Yan so bored while on night watch every day? Or will he call the flag monster out to play Landlord?" Zhang Da lost interest after watching the night view for a while. He remembered that he had done this once before. It seemed that it was when Shark Chili was sleeping and studying?
"How about I learn from Ye Yan and develop a hobby?" Zhang Da's thoughts raced, but he gave up. "Forget it, let's just practice. Guard duty is a good place to practice observation Haki. I'll try to keep it open all the time, and try to cover a wider area."
Nothing serious happened that night, except that two daring little thieves came at three or four o'clock. When they were about to climb over the wall from the yard, Zhang Dayu knocked them down with one hammer each, and then he hit them with three more hammers each.
But things were not so peaceful in the lawless zone. The arrest of more than one hundred wanted criminals was no small matter. The news of the Amber Tour Group's massive operations in the Sabaody Archipelago spread quickly.
Some people didn't take it seriously, while others thought that they might have a chance to become famous. The more timid prisoners tried to find a boat to go out to sea overnight, while the even more timid ones didn't dare to go out to sea at all, and simply found a place to hide, hoping that they would leave quickly.
However, things went against their wishes. The Amber Travel Group went to "work" as usual the next day, and there were more people than yesterday, causing chaos in the illegal area for another day.
The intelligence gathering capabilities of the flag monsters were quite good. Although the criminals tried their best to hide or escape, the speed of catching the bounty criminals was no slower than yesterday.
Weiwei also used her ability to capture a few people. This is GR No. 13, where Xia Qi's extortion bar is located. Zhang Da also estimated that apart from him, there would be no more than two people on this island who understood domineering, so Weiwei was safe.
As expected, Jin Erpeng came back with two dishevelled and bruised men and reported: "Boss, I found these two men at the door of a bar. They seemed to have been robbed. Although they don't look like good people, the bar is pretty arrogant. They even wrote the words 'extortion' on the sign."
Shark Chili stared at their faces for a while and said, "They are brothers Bill and Kurt. They like to cheat for food, drinks and money. After eating a free meal, they had a conflict with the boss and killed someone. They are wanted. The bounty for the two is 2 million Baileys in total."
"You're just cheating on me for food and drinks..." Zhang Da also glanced at the bar in the distance, "You're cheating the thieves."
"Thief ancestors?" Jin Erpeng asked doubtfully, "There is indeed something wrong with that bar. Should we investigate it?"
"No need. They should be considered to be fighting against evil and protecting the good now." Zhang Da didn't have much resentment towards Reilly and Xia Qi now. He would consider how to deal with them when they wanted to make a comeback one day.
…
Rayleigh was drinking a little wine near a secluded little bay. In the bay was a ship coated with film. He looked at the sun rising and then setting, wondering:
"You said you would come today to inspect and pay the balance. You can't refuse to pay the ship, right?"
He has been busy working to earn money for alcohol these days and has no idea that his big client has been cancelled.
Rayleigh waited until dark, finished his drink, and then stood up to go back to the bar. He planned to wait another day tomorrow. If the other party didn't pay the balance, he would sell the boat. This was not the first or second time he had cheated his fellow thieves, so he was very familiar with it.
"The busy man is back?" Xia Qi, now in her fifties, still maintains an enviable figure. At this moment, she was holding a cigarette between her fingers and looking at Rayleigh jokingly.
"Ah, I took on a coating business a few days ago." Rayleigh said, "Don't look at me like that, I haven't been gambling for a long time."
Xia Qi teased, "Yeah, even if you wanted to go, there wouldn't be any casinos for you to play in."
Rayleigh smiled bitterly and shook his head, then took a bottle of wine. He felt that his luck had turned bad since his trip to the East China Sea. The coating business was not doing well, and because there were fewer human traffickers, he had no place to sell himself. All the casinos were smashed a while ago...
He is the dignified 'Pluto', and after retirement he only has a few hobbies, and now he is forced to do only drinking.
Xia Qi brought two plates of snacks to Rayleigh and said with a smile, "I have another good news to tell you. During the days you were away, the Amber Tour Group returned to the Sabaody Archipelago."
"This is not good news. That guy is always causing trouble for others." Rayleigh bit open the bottle cap and took a sip.
"I'm not done yet. The good news is that your employer was taken out by them."
"puff……"
