Chapter 532: Can’t Learn
The navy soon became busy after arriving. Due to some regulations, they would provide necessary rescue to the pirates who had lost the ability to resist, and would basically not watch them die from serious injuries.
When Vice Admiral Gion and Zhang Tatsuya were greeting the others, they noticed the wounds on the pirates' bodies, which did not seem to be caused by ordinary firearms.
Recalling what she had seen from a distance, her gaze rested on the violin case carried by Misaka Sister - Misaka Sister's weapons were usually kept in a violin case-shaped box to avoid being too conspicuous in Academy City.
If he hadn't seen Misaka put that strange gun into the box with his own eyes, Gion might have mistaken the little girl for a musician from the Amber Travel Band.
"It seems like you've met another powerful companion, Tatsuya-chan~" Vice Admiral Gion spoke in the same seductive tone as before.
"No, no, I'm just average." Zhang Da also felt that the navy was trying to kidnap his people, so he changed the subject, "I'm so sorry to have snatched away your target."
"We should say thank you for your help, otherwise it would have taken us a lot of effort." Vice Admiral Gion expressed his gratitude and then joked, "If you're really embarrassed, Tatsuya-chan, why don't you give up the reward?"
Zhang Da also smiled and said, "Sure, just treat us to a meal."
Lieutenant General Gion turned his head and said, "Tina, calculate the bounty immediately and ask them to leave."
Zhang Da also raised his hand: "Hey...you don't have to be so ruthless, right?"
"Liya-chan...long time no see, how have you been lately?" Gion quickly abandoned Zhang Da and went to talk to Altria.
The little girls had already surrounded Tom to have dessert. Lieutenant General Gion only had time to say hello, so he had to ask more information from other people.
"Thank you, I'm fine." Altria responded politely. In fact, she also wanted to go with Tom, but out of courtesy, she couldn't leave Gion, an old acquaintance, here.
"Where did you meet that little girl named 'Misaka'? She looks young but seems to be very good at fighting." After chatting with Altria for a few words, Gion began to inquire about Misaka's background. The main reason was that this kid, at such a young age, could shoot at pirates with a gun without batting an eyelid, which seemed very strange.
Unlike Wendy, Vivi and the others when they were fighting, Gion could feel that Misaka seemed to be accustomed to this level of fighting and didn't care at all.
Moreover, the weapons she uses are also of concern. If the navy can equip them in large quantities, ordinary pirates may not have to worry about them.
"Misaka sister, huh? She comes from a place called Academy City and was accidentally rescued by Tatsuya."
"Academy City? Are you from there?" Gion had never heard of this place, just like she didn't know where Britain, Xinxiang, or Tianhe City were.
"No, we came from the Drum Kingdom to help Misaka heal her."
There is nothing to hide about this, too many people know about it.
Artoria knew Zhang Daye's concerns, and also knew what to say and what not to say. When Gion asked about the coup in the Drum Kingdom, Artoria only told her some of the things she saw - she only heard about Zhang Daye and Ye Yan's actions but did not see them, so she did not say anything.
Moreover, the Navy has generally reached a conclusion on this matter. Vice Admiral Gion wants to know more about whether they have encountered any suspicious people who are suspected to be members of the Revolutionary Army.
It’s a pity that nothing was found.
Tina was busy accommodating these pirates at this time, but Smoker ran over to find Zhang Daye and invited him to a battle.
"Compete here? Isn't that bad?" Zhang Da didn't want to do anything big on his own boat.
"We can do that after we reach the shore," Smoker said seriously. "I want to know the results of my efforts over this period of time."
Then you shouldn't look for me... My strength is not constant... And what if I get excited and lose my temper?
Zhang Da was also somewhat reluctant. Although he was not sure whether he was going to get the ability from Misaka Sisters or Misaka Mikoto, it was certain that he would be able to release electricity later, and it would be bad to reveal the secret in front of them.
But he couldn't resist Smoker's persuasion and had to agree.
"It seems like there have been a lot of changes here?" Zhang Da also noticed that the port of Gaya Island had been renovated. There were no longer a large number of pirate ships parked on the shore, but some merchant ships and several small warships.
The people walking on the street were no longer fierce or timid, it looked more like an ordinary town.
"We have been stationed here for so long, of course we are not just focused on building a base." Vice Admiral Gion was also very satisfied with the transformation of a pirate island into its current appearance.
"We're here, let's get started!" As soon as Smoker got ashore and arrived near the naval base, he couldn't wait to be beaten.
Faced with Smoker's request, Zhang Da also decided to satisfy him.
So Smoker came up, and Smoker fell.
"Why, why does it feel like the gap is getting bigger and bigger?" Smoker lay on the ground, doubting his life, and didn't want to get up for a while.
He used to think he was so powerful, but was easily knocked down by Zhang Daye. Now he has been working hard for a long time and should have made progress, but he was still easily knocked down. Judging from Zhang Daye's appearance, it seems even more relaxed!
What is the point of his efforts?
Zhang Da was also a little embarrassed. It was as if he had just punched someone and broken their mentality.
He hesitated for a moment, then consoled her, "You're not the only one working hard. I've also been training hard under Mr. Zefa's guidance for half a year, okay? And I've been training non-stop lately because of the pressure. If I weren't in good health, I'd be lying on the bed exhausted right now."
Smoker fell silent. He recalled the first time Zhang Daye defeated him. It seemed like he had only been training for less than a year, and his talent was terrifying. Now another year had passed, and Zhang Daye was training so relentlessly. It seemed reasonable that he could become so strong?
There are people who are more talented than him and work harder than him... Is there anything more despairing in the world than this?
Rui Mengmeng patted Zhang Daye's shoulder at the right time: "Boss, I've told you that you don't know how to comfort people. It's better to let him adjust his mentality."
"You're the one who talks too much, so I'll deduct your salary."
“No…”
When they were in trouble, Tina said that this was not Zhang Daye's responsibility, Smoker was just too impetuous recently, and just leave it to her.
"I'm sorry to trouble you." Zhang Da naturally had nothing to say. After leaving, he was still thinking about whether he should secretly learn some skills to comfort people. As a result, before he had gone far, he heard Tina scolding Smoker.
If he turned around now, he would see Tina grabbing Smoker's collar, while Smoker turned his face away with an impatient look.
Smoker is so lucky. Zhang Da also shook his head and felt that he could not learn it.
…
Gion's previous statement about kicking Zhang Tatsuya and the others out was just a joke, so he let the chefs prepare the necessary ingredients.
According to Marshal Zhan Guo's instructions, she needs to have more contact with the Amber Travel Group to determine whether these people have any connection with the Revolutionary Army.
By the way, I'd also like to find out what their next plans are to see if something bad will really happen wherever they go.
