Chapter 560: Best Training Partner
"Don't worry, we're friends with Hawkeye. We'll leave him a letter later. We won't blame you." Zhang Da also comforted him, "Anyway, you can continue planting after we finish eating."
The baboons were skeptical. Would one friend eat all the food in the other's house? But since they couldn't beat him, they just accepted his advice.
Zhang Da also took off Tom's swordsman hat and showed it to the baboons: "If you don't believe me , look, this is the hat Hawkeye gave him."
Tom took out his medicine box at the right time to show his friendship.
The baboons' eyes lit up, and without waiting for Zhang Da to offer to help with the treatment, they came over and took the bandages to bandage themselves, and their movements seemed quite skilled.
"I remember seeing this kind of baboon in an animal encyclopedia at the Navy Headquarters," said Shark Chili. "They are very good at imitating human behavior, so they are called human imitators."
"If they grow up near gentle humans, they'll be gentle. Otherwise, they'll be brutal. And these baboons are so good at using human weapons in combat, which means they've witnessed a lot of battles. I've even seen some baboons use desperate moves right away. In other words..."
Jackie Chan continued in a heavy tone, "...which means they witnessed not only a lot of fighting, but also very brutal battles. This must have been a country torn by constant war, which would explain the presence of these ruins."
"Huh?" Vivi was startled. "Did Hawkeye destroy this country? He's one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. If he wants to do something, he can do it, right?"
Although she has met Hawkeye himself and Jinbe, Vivi is still a little sensitive about the title of Seven Warlords of the Sea.
"There aren't many traces of swordsmanship in the ruins," Artoria said. "Perhaps he occupied this place after its destruction."
Zhang Da also pointed at the group of baboons and said, "Why not just ask the witnesses?"
The baboons testified that many people here died while fighting, and then many left the island. Later, Hawkeye came here and beat the baboons, forcing them to clean up the ruins, bury the bodies, etc.
Maybe he thought baboons were quite interesting, so when he practiced swordplay he let them watch and imitate him. When he was in a good mood he would even whip them himself... to teach them, since he was bored anyway.
Altria nodded, "No wonder some of the baboons' moves are so familiar, and baboons that use swords are generally stronger than those that use other weapons."
Zhang Da also discovered something even more interesting: "All these guys' skills are learned by imitating humans, right? In other words, they are good at growing vegetables because Hawkeye himself is also good at growing vegetables?"
Xia Lulu complained: "Why is your focus so strange?"
Zhang Da also laughed secretly at Hawkeye's broken painting style, and at the same time, he felt a little closer: "No, I just have a better impression of people who are good at farming."
The baboons received just the right amount of treatment before the Amber Tours group settled into the castle.
The principle is that the baboons with minor injuries treat themselves, Zhang Daye and Wendy treat the seriously injured, and Tom treats the injuries that may cause disability.
The result was that seriously injured baboons may recover faster than those with minor injuries. The good news is that there were no casualties in the end.
After visiting Hawkeye's castle, Zhang Da just wanted to curse him as a rich bastard. This place was probably originally a royal palace. Hawkeye was not afraid of retribution for living alone in such a big castle.
Why, aren't we his retribution?
They eat his food, live in his house, and even beat his pets. They are all bad people.
This castle had probably been looted before Hawkeye came. Except for Hawkeye's own room, wine cellar, and kitchen, each room had only the simplest furniture and no luxurious decorations.
There were only a few tables, chairs and carpets in the hall. It seemed that Hawkeye had simply cleaned it and put the necessary things in it.
No one touched Hawkeye's personal belongings. They just went back to the ship to get some necessities and each chose an empty room to stay in.
…
Of course, Zhang Da chose to live here not just for the vegetables, but also because he was attracted by the group of high-level sparring partners.
These baboons have different strengths. If we compare them with Zoro before the Battle of Marineford, the stronger ones can hang up and beat the injured Zoro, while the weaker ones will be wiped out by Zoro even if they attack together.
They may not be strong enough to face the current Amber Travel Group, but they have a strong talent for imitation. They can imitate most of the moves they have seen once, which makes them very suitable as sparring partners for those in the team who are not strong in physical skills.
Even if you are strong enough, you can still ask not to use high-powered brick-flying fighting methods.
So everyone chose a baboon that was strong enough and not seriously injured as their opponent .
Zhang Da also thought about it and said, "Let Ye Yan go first? Let him set an example for everyone."
Under Zhang Daye's instigation, Ye Yan decided... to ask Uncle Long to go first, he wanted to see the situation first, otherwise he always felt that Zhang Daye wanted to trick him.
"One judges others by one's own standards." Zhang Da also shook his head sadly, "Even if I wanted to trick you, I wouldn't drag everyone else into it."
"Really?" Ye Yan expressed his disbelief. "Maybe once I get in first, things will be different."
Uncle Long was much more cheerful than Ye Yan, and without hesitation he stood opposite the baboon. He thought for a moment, then spread his legs apart, his hands one in front of the other, in a common starting position.
The baboon on the opposite side scratched its head, dropped the weapon in its hand under the gaze of everyone, and made the same starting posture as Uncle Long.
"Are you starting to learn now? Let's try it first." Jackie Chan rushed forward, grabbed the baboon's fist that was hitting him with his left hand, tripped the baboon to make him lose his balance, supported the baboon's body with his right hand, and threw him out.
Ye Yan pinched his chin: "It seems that he is not that powerful, but he really didn't trick me?"
"We are all companions, so please trust me a little more." Zhang Da also said, "If you still don't trust me, wait until I'm done and then you can go up."
Ye Yan nodded and said, "I should really trust you a little more. Then you go first."
Zhang Daye: "..."
"Come on, I want to fight ten of them!" Zhang Da also called ten baboons who were watching to come on stage and also engage in bare-handed fighting.
The baboons all assumed the same pose that Uncle Long had just done.
But that simple move was useless . He quickly knocked down ten baboons, using a different set of moves each time.
Ye Yan suddenly thought of something. These baboons seemed to be called "human imitators"?
It seems like they were using the moves I hate the most just now, right? These baboons are extremely talented at imitating, which means they should have learned all these moves, at least each of them has learned a set...
"You still say you're not trying to trick me!"
Zhang Da also grinned: "Strengthening and consolidation, and you let me go first."
