Chapter 559: Is Hawkeye at home?
The reason why he was sure it was a baboon was not because Zhang Da knew many animals, but because the atmosphere, the castle, and the vegetable garden all looked like Hawkeye's home.
Add to that a group of baboons, each armed with weapons and some even wearing armor, and it is basically confirmed.
The Grand Line, Kraikana Island, and the ruins of the Kingdom of Sikaial are the full names of the place where the Amber Tour Group is located.
Of course, Zhang Da couldn't remember such a long name. He remembered the places where the Straw Hat Pirates had trained for two years, but he couldn't remember the name of the place Zoro and Brook went to because the name was too long.
Anyway, now he knew that this was Hawkeye's home. Zhang Da also waved to the baboons: "Hey, is Hawkeye home?"
I thought that after mentioning Hawkeye's name, these baboons would at least remain calm, if not bow down to me.
But after he mentioned it, it was as if a switch was triggered, and the baboons all rushed over roaring.
Zhang Da was also a little confused. How could saying Hawkeye's name in Hawkeye's territory not work? He would use this to mock him later. For now, he had to deal with these baboons first.
Swords, spears, axes, muskets...
These baboons have learned all kinds of weapons that humans can use, and they are very skilled in using them. Some can even use powerful sword skills!
If they were ordinary pirates or navy officers, they might suffer a great loss if they encountered these baboons, but today they obviously chose the wrong opponent.
Zhang Da also kicked another baboon away: "These seem to be Hawkeye's pets, just beat them up."
"Huh?"
Several surprised voices rang out at the same time. Zhang Da's reminder was a little late, and everyone had already subconsciously counterattacked.
Jackie Chan subconsciously used Dragon Blast to blast four baboons away, their arms and legs twitching and their fur scorched black. Five baboons were blown away by Wendy's tornado and crashed into the woods. Two were struck down by Misaka's lightning, black smoke billowing from their mouths...
In the blink of an eye, dozens of baboons, except for a few around Tom, had been knocked down. And because they mistook them for suddenly angry beasts, everyone attacked them a little too hard.
In other words, those who were restrained by Perona were not seriously injured.
Jackie Chan asked sheepishly, "What if... I get hurt accidentally?"
"..." How come they are much weaker than I imagined? Zhang Da also said: "It's okay, these guys are thick-skinned and tough, it's not that easy to kill them."
Altria pointed at a baboon fighting Tom and said, "Come to think of it, that baboon's swordsmanship does have some influences of Mihawk."
At first, Tom was just having fun fighting a baboon many times his size with his rapier. The swords in their hands kept clashing, and Tom's jumping up and down and messy swordplay forced the baboon to retreat frequently.
He somewhat understood what Jerry felt when he and he were fighting with swords. If he didn't jump up, he could only hit the other person's knees.
At this time, another baboon joined in and attacked Tom together. Tom first dodged a few moves in panic, and then began to fight back.
Seeing that Tom was fighting two baboons alone and was not at a disadvantage, another baboon joined the battle and the three baboons besieged Tom together.
But Tom swung his sword, leaving an afterimage, accurately hitting the tip of each baboon's sword in turn. No matter how hard they tried, it was useless, and Tom to counterattack.
After dozens of rounds, Tom suddenly stretched out his hand and signaled to pause. The three baboons slammed on the brakes and stopped their movements forcibly. One of them even scratched his head in confusion.
Tom seized the opportunity, stuck out his tongue, took a few deep breaths and rested for a while. After he had recovered his strength, he signaled to continue.
The battle then continued seamlessly like a game save, and the four animals continued to fight back and forth.
However, the baboons stopped fighting. They suddenly felt that the atmosphere was not right. They looked back and found that a dozen people had gathered in a circle, watching them fight with great interest.
All that’s missing is a handful of melon seeds for everyone.
Tom turned his head and looked back. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, instead of getting angry, he became even more excited. He thrust his sword forward and made a gesture of inviting a fight: "Aha!"
However, the baboons stopped fighting. What was there to fight for? Their companions had been taken care of, and the other party had no injuries at all. What could they use to fight?
Over the years, they have not only learned fighting skills from humans, but also learned the surrender posture of defeated soldiers - the baboons threw their swords to the ground, knelt down and begged for mercy.
The sword hung limply in Tom's hand, which was no fun.
Zhang Da also patted Tom's shoulder to show his comfort: "Send a translator and ask them why my name Hawkeye doesn't work."
Flag demon Ma Laowu chatted with the baboons for a while, then explained:
"They said that there were people who came here looking for Hawkeye before, but they were either pirates or swordsmen who came to challenge us. Most of the time, they were responsible for dealing with them."
"Boss, you came up and asked if Hawkeye was here. They probably thought we were troublemakers. Besides, when Hawkeye is not around, they are guarding the castle and this vegetable patch. No outsiders are allowed to approach."
"So, this is a misunderstanding?" It seemed like they had broken into someone's yard and beaten up their servants. Zhang Da also asked, "Is Hawkeye not here?"
"Woo woo..." The sound of a baboon is hard to describe. When it's angry, it sounds like a dog barking. When it's "talking" quickly, it sounds like the sound effects of some shooting games.
Ma Laowu translated, "They said Hawkeye hasn't been back for a long time."
"Do you know where he went?" Zhang Da also looked at the vegetable patch in front of him again. It looked neat and tidy, with no signs of animals gnawing on it, and no vegetables left to rot in the ground.
These baboons might all be good at farming. Hawkeye is really lucky.
Ma Laowu continued translating , "They said they didn't know. Hawkeye never specifically told them when he left, nor did he tell them where he was going. Anyway, they just had to do their own thing."
It does seem like Hawkeye's style . Besides, he doesn't seem to have any destination. He basically goes wherever he wants and stays as long as he wants.
Rui Mengmeng asked: "What should we do if he is not here?"
Jackie Chan preferred to be polite: "Since the owner of this place is not at home, shall we leave?"
"Since he is not here, then of course we should...stay here for a few days." Zhang Da also felt that they could stay for a while.
Jackie Chan said, "Isn't this bad?"
"What's wrong with that? That old guy Hawkeye once drank a glass of red wine in our tavern and didn't pay. It's been a year and a half, almost two years, so I'll just consider it interest."
Ye Yan discovered the blind spot: "So, for the money of a glass of red wine, you forcibly remembered it for two years?"
"Well... that's not important. What's important is..." Zhang Da also tempted, "The vegetables here are growing so well. We haven't eaten fresh vegetables in several days. Aren't you tempted?"
Everyone was a little tempted. Although they brought a lot of food from Sky Island, it had been three or four days. Although the vegetables on the ship were well preserved, how could they compare to those picked from the fields?
"Woo, woo..." Seeing their appearance, the baboons became anxious, but unfortunately they did not dare to speak loudly.
