Chapter 585 Well, okay then
Compared to Alabasta, the environment of the Sabaody Archipelago is more friendly to mermaids because they can use bubbles to assist in movement, which is much more convenient.
But the attitude of the people here is far inferior to that of Alabasta.
The Sabaody Archipelago itself is the place where discrimination against the murlocs is the most serious. Most passers-by's first reaction when seeing murlocs is disgust. However, when they see so many murlocs taking to the streets together, they don't dare to act too excessively and just quietly stay away from them.
Some people believed the rumor that being too close to the murlocs would lead to contracting infectious diseases, while others were simply afraid of being beaten.
Especially when they saw familiar faces like Jinbe, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and the Amber Travel Group in the team, no one dared to cause trouble.
These people's attitude poured cold water on the fishmen who had just returned from Alabasta.
Not everyone is as kind and gentle as the people of that country.
"It doesn't matter!" Princess Otohime was not discouraged. "People here hate us because they don't know us well enough. If the people of Alabasta get to know us better, won't we be able to get along well with each other?"
"And those boatmen just now were very friendly too, weren't they? We've gained a lot this time, and I believe our situation will only get better and better!"
Princess Otohime's encouragement was very effective, and the fish people regained their spirits. Yes, at least there is a big country that is willing to recognize us and even let us live there. Sooner or later, other places will be like this.
Zhang Da looked at the fishmen cheering each other on and asked at the right moment, "So, does anyone want to go to Shampoo Park?"
Swish, swish, swish! A bunch of people raised their hands. Shampoo Park was one of the places the fish people longed for the most, but they had never dared to go. Now that they had a big boss to lead them, it would be a shame not to go.
Zhang Da also slapped Tom and Altria's hands away: "You two, come with me somewhere first, and then we can go over and play later."
Everyone went their separate ways. Wendy hesitantly followed Zhang Tatsuya: "Brother Tatsuya, can I go with you?"
"Huh? Wendy, don't you want to go play with everyone?"
"I do want to, but..." Wendy said, looking like she was about to cry, "If you're not here, even if I go to the amusement park, I can only watch."
This child is carsick. A roller coaster is still a car, and activities like sandboarding, grass sliding, and rafting are all torture for Wendy. If Zhang Da didn't use magic to help, she might not even be able to ride the carousel.
"Why don't you buy some ice cream and eat it first and wait for us for a while." Zhang Da also said, "Actually, I have an important task I want to give you."
Wendy asked curiously, "What is it?"
"Please keep an eye on Princess Otohime and cast some defensive spells on her at all times," Zhang Daye leaned over and whispered in Wendy's ear. "I'm worried she'll get too excited playing around and break another bone."
"..." Wendy carefully glanced at Princess Otohime and nodded solemnly, "I understand."
Zhang Da felt that he was very kind to his friend as he was given a top-level assistant when he went out to play.
The place he wanted to take Tom and Altria was none other than the Goodman family's.
When they left, Mrs. Molly repeatedly reminded them to visit her when they came back. Little Bayer said something similar. Zhang Da also thought about bringing a few of his fishman friends over, but gave up in the end.
I feel that after the fishermen go there, there may be people who are blinded by profit and harass them, so forget it, and just have a few people go to visit.
In addition, before the coating is completed, sweep the shampoo floor again to eliminate potential threats as much as possible.
Thinking about all sorts of things, Zhang Daye, Tom and Altria each held two packages of gifts in their hands and knocked on the door of the Goodman family.
"Oh! It's Tatsuya-chan, Leah-chan and Tom!" Mrs. Molly was very surprised and quickly opened the door to let them in.
"Brother Tatsuya, Tom!" Little Bayer, who was tinkering with something in his yard, dropped the tools in his hand and ran over to give Tom a hug.
Mrs. Molly gave Altria a hug, and only Zhang Da was left, and no one responded.
"Long time no see, Sister Molly, Bayer." Zhang Da also said, "We just came back from Alabasta, oh, that's Vivi's country, Vivi you met last time."
"Ah, it's the little princess with the light blue hair," Mrs. Molly asked. "Aren't they coming this time?"
"They went to Shampoo Park with their friends," Zhang Da also said. "We're having Uncle Goodman help with coating our boat. We're heading to the New World next."
"I heard that the New World is very dangerous. Is that okay?" Molly brought tea and snacks while talking to him. She remembered that both Altria and Tom loved eating.
"No problem, we are very strong." Zhang Daye patted Altria's shoulder, "Even the world's greatest swordsman can't beat her."
Altria glanced at Zhang Daye with dissatisfaction, nodded politely to Mrs. Molly, and then worked hard to eat.
Mrs. Molly nodded. "That's true. Your companions seem very reliable."
"Oh, right, these are the gifts we brought from various islands. There's animal fur from Drum Island that can be used to make a coat, canned fruit from Sky Island that was finally preserved, and Alabasta..."
Zhang Da also took out things one by one, a bit like a wanderer returning home from a long journey.
"The most special ones are these. This is a sound shell, which can be used for recording." Zhang Da also demonstrated how to use it and threw the sound shell to Bayer to play with.
Then he took out the wind shell, heat shell, and water shell and explained their uses: "I think they are quite convenient. They may be useful in daily life."
Mrs. Molly fiddled with it curiously: "It's amazing."
"These are Impact Shells and Slash Shells. They're a bit dangerous, so I'll leave them for Uncle Goodman and you to use for self-defense." Zhang Da also looked at Bayer, who was eager to try, and said, "The Impact Shells store the impact force of Shark Pepper's transformed punch, and the Slash Shells contain Altria's slashing attack. Don't let Bayer use them."
Mrs. Molly hesitated and said, "This... is very precious, right?"
No matter how precious something is, it cannot compare to the help your family gave to Tom and me. Zhang Da thought so in his heart, but said :
"No, we bought a lot of shells wholesale . Uncle Goodman is a shipwright and it's inevitable that he will encounter pirates and the like. I can feel more at ease if I take this."
"Well, okay then." Mrs. Molly thought of her husband's work environment and she was a little worried. Although Goodman always boasted about how great he was, as a wife, how could she not understand her husband?
