Chapter 6 The charging method of the gold finger seems to be different from what I thought
"My name is Zhang Daye, uncle, you can just call me Daye. His name is Tom."
"It's Tatsuya-kun." Uncle Goodman looked at Tom with a smile, "It seems that this cat is very important to you. If it were someone else, they would have eaten it long ago after being hungry for so long."
"Meow!!!" Tom's hair stood up. This guy was so scary that he actually ate cats!
"Tom is my important partner." Zhang Da also replied, and then gently smoothed the fur on Tom's body, "Uncle is just joking."
Tom rubbed Zhang Daye's face, then hid behind Zhang Daye's neck and observed secretly.
"Haha, sorry to scare you, clever little cat." Goodman laughed heartily and did not show much surprise at Tom's cleverness.
There are many smart animals in this world. The simplest example is the hardworking newspaper gulls. Not only can they carry a large bag of heavy newspapers across the sea, but they can also calculate and collect money based on the number of newspapers delivered.
"So what are your plans ?"
"I plan to... find a restaurant or something and work part-time to earn some money for food." As he spoke, Zhang Daye's stomach began to growl.
Tom's stomach seemed to be infected and started to growl as well. The claws that had been tightly grasping Zhang Daye's clothes suddenly seemed to lose their strength, and the whole cat flowed down from his shoulders like a pool of liquid and fell into Zhang Daye's arms.
"You guys don't look very well, why don't you go to my house and rest for a while?"
"Is this okay?"
"No problem. Although I'm not a wealthy man, it's no problem to provide some food."
"I mean, why are you helping us like this, if I'm a bad guy?"
"Brother, you don't look like a bad guy. And don't look at me like this. I can beat ten people like you!" Goodman showed off his muscles and laughed, "Brother, you should be the one to worry!"
Zhang Da also believed it. The uncle's arms were thicker than his thighs, and he looked to be more than two meters tall. With a height of only 1.8 meters, he was not even as tall as his younger brother.
Tom's stomach growled again. Zhang Da looked at Tom's pitiful appearance, nodded and said, "Thank you, uncle."
"That's right. A man should be decisive when doing things. What's the point of being hesitant? When I think back to when I was young, whether it was work or anything else, once I had set my goal, I would..."
While Goodman was leading Zhang Da, he kept talking about his heroic deeds.
In addition to knowing where his family lived, Zhang Da also learned how he became the best boatman among his peers on the entire Island No. 59 at the age of 24.
I learned how he became a foreman at the age of 30 and married a virtuous wife. I also learned that he had a lively son at the age of 35.
I also heard him mention that the world's number one shipbuilder was also named Tom, and he seemed to be building some kind of sea train. However, because Tom had built a ship for the Pirate King, he seemed to have been convicted by the World Government.
When mentioning the Pirate King Roger, he complained for a long time. It was all that guy's fault for talking nonsense about some great secret treasure before he died. In the past few years, many outstanding young people went to sea on a whim, and no one knew how they were doing now.
What made Goodman most angry was that his four-year-old son, Bayer, heard someone bragging about the deeds of the Pirate King a while ago, and when he got home he shouted that he wanted to become the Pirate King.
The result, of course, was that he was severely punished by Goodman. Because he was a little harsh, Goodman was complained about by his wife Molly for several days.
Zhang Da finally found an opportunity to interrupt and asked how long it had been since Roger was executed.
Goodman thought for a moment and said, "It's been twelve years now, right? I remember I was 28 years old at that time and had just started dating Molly. It's really nostalgic. At that time we..."
Yes, yes, I already knew how handsome and strong you were at that time, uncle, and I also knew how sweet you two were...
Zhang Daye felt a little helpless. He didn't expect that Uncle Goodman, who looked so tough, was actually a chatterbox. And every time he talked about his youth, Zhang Daye always felt that the person speaking in front of him was Usopp.
Following Goodman helplessly, Zhang Da also began to calculate. He remembered that Luffy went to sea twenty-two years after Roger's death. In other words, there were still ten years before Luffy went to sea, and the protagonists were still some seven or eight-year-old kids?
These have nothing to do with him for now. What’s important is whether there have been any major dangerous incidents near Shampoodi recently?
Unexpectedly, apart from Luffy beating up the Celestial Dragons ten years later, there didn't seem to be any major chaos, right? Then there should n't be any need to worry about dying inexplicably in the aftermath of a battle between powerful people.
Nowadays, in addition to the Celestial Dragons who often come to visit the Sabaody Archipelago, there are occasionally some small-scale pirates causing trouble, but most of the time they are in illegal areas.
Just stay hidden. Judging from Uncle Goodman's appearance, at least his family has never been attacked by pirates.
In addition , the "right hand of the Pirate King" and "Pluto", Silvers Rayleigh, should have been secluded on this island now. Given his personality, it seems that he would not harass civilians.
I hope what is shown in the anime is the real thing. Zhang Da can only hope so.
As long as you are careful, there shouldn't be any danger in the short term, and then...
You have to understand this golden finger quickly.
Zhang Da also looked at his left hand and was slightly startled. It seemed that the energy had increased again in such a short while?
【72%】
Although it is only an increase of 1%, it is indeed an increase.
First of all, it can’t be because of solar energy, wind energy or something like that, otherwise the sea would have been full in the past few days.
Zhang Da also thought about how from the time he loaded the language pack until now, all he had done was walking, talking, and daydreaming.
I talked to Tom and had a lot of random thoughts in the past few days. I also felt shocked, scared, happy, etc. This shouldn't be the reason.
So walking...is this thing a pedometer?
Think again about the time before I got ashore when my energy surged. All I did at that time was paddle, paddle hard.
So, this thing is most likely a pedometer, or... a sports bracelet?
Can you only recharge by exercising?
I'll have to verify it carefully later!
Zhang Da also made a preliminary judgment, and Goodman's chattering came to a temporary halt:
"We're almost there. The second house on this street ahead is my home."
Zhang Da also looked at the place where Goodman pointed, which was still within the scope of Island No. 59.
Goodman's house is a two-story building. There is nothing special about the first floor, and the second floor is a spherical building.
Not only the Goodman's house, but many of the surrounding buildings have a spherical structure on top, which seems to be the architectural style of this generation.
Zhang Da didn’t know much about the architecture, he just felt that it resembled a certain country, but he couldn’t say specifically.
As for Tom, the only thing on his mind at this moment was food. If he had food to eat, even the uncle who ate cats wouldn't seem so scary.
