Chapter 61: Tom Warms Wine and Kills Tatsuya
Spandam on the other end seemed to have finally packed up, and his tone returned to normal: "Shampoo Land? What kind of information can a place like that have? I'm busy!"
You're busy, so you still have time to drink coffee? Theo muttered in his heart, but was afraid that he would hang up directly, so he quickly got to the point: "It's information related to the Water City."
"What did you say?" Spandam's voice suddenly rose. The sound of tables and chairs falling to the ground came from the Den Den Mushi again, followed by Spandam's roar: "Damn chairs, why did they suddenly break!"
After a few seconds of silence, Teo asked tentatively, "Sir?"
"Go on."
"Yes." Theo briefly summarized the matter.
"I see, I see, hahahaha..." Den Den Mushi imitated Spandam's smug smile , the arrogance of which could only be rivaled by the Uchiha Four Laughing Heroes. "Well done, you two. Go collect all the information about this Bizness and fax it to me. Then go investigate his route."
By adding some special equipment to the Den Den Mushi, it can be used as a fax machine. The Den Den Mushi clan is doing their best to assist remote work.
"Yes, sir. What about the bombing we are investigating now?"
"Let it go for now. There's nothing to investigate about the bombing case. That crappy place is bombing every day." Spandam didn't bother to care about other things. He just wanted to find Biznis and get hold of something on Tom's studio as soon as possible so that he could tell him the whereabouts of Pluto's design.
You know, the sea train project is almost completed. By then, the charge of "building the Pirate King's ship" on Tom will be offset, and it will be difficult for Spandam to catch the world's number one shipbuilder.
Even if he wanted to cheat someone who was so famous and had made outstanding contributions to the entire island, he had to find a reasonable reason.
It was rare that there were other possibilities now. Even if there was a slight possibility that this businessman was involved with Tom's studio, he didn't want to let it go.
Anyway, he can't take any new action before the sea train is completed , so he might as well investigate it.
…
After clearly framing the old liar who had caused him trouble, Zhang Daye felt very happy, so happy that he challenged Tom on a whim during the sparring session.
"Tom, I feel like I can do it again!"
Tom raised his head, put down the biscuit with a hole in it, and slowly changed into his suit and went on stage.
In fact, according to his previous habit, he would just throw the biscuits away, but after the experience of hunger and Zhang Daye's education, Tom developed a good habit of not wasting food.
He put the biscuits down first and would come back to eat them later. He also poured himself a cup of hot tea. He had heard Zhang Daye tell a story called "Pour the tea, I will be back soon."
Zhang Da has also made great progress in combat. He had a 30-second sword fight with Tom, and the result... let's not talk about it. It was much better than being defeated by Tom in three moves before.
Rui Mengmeng's views on swordsmanship were refreshed by Tom's swordsmanship, so she decided to learn sword skills from Altria - normal people really can't learn Tom's swordsmanship.
How can you retract your head into your neck to avoid the enemy's moves during a fight?
How could a person beating while his hat falls to the ground, and then continue beating while bending down to pick it up?
How can you ignore the bone structure and rotate the joints however you want?
It’s better to learn some moves that normal people can use.
Rui Mengmeng started learning from the basics with Altria, and Zhang Da also used his rest time to study whether he had acquired any new abilities.
However, nothing was found. Before, neither the recovery ability nor the magic power appeared immediately. Perhaps it will take some time to observe, but there is no need to rush.
Zhang Da also planned to practice with Rui Mengmeng after she had mastered the basics, hoping that he would no longer be the weakest in the tavern in the future.
The business was open as usual in the evening, and yesterday's 'house flying into the sky incident' was still a hot topic among people.
Occasionally, some people mentioned that the Navy had transported several bodies from the base, saying that the bounty hunters who captured them were too harsh, causing these people to die of their injuries.
Zhang Da also said a few words intentionally or unintentionally, and learned that there were a total of ten bodies, and they were all human traffickers before they were arrested.
"It looks like Major General Kadalu should be fine." Zhang Da also knew that those people were chopped to death by Kadalu, but the navy should have chosen to conceal it for him. I don't know if it was to give face to the newly appointed Kizaru, or because they didn't want to punish a major general for a few scumbags.
Not long after, an inconspicuous old man staggered in.
When the bell hanging on the door rang, Zhang Da didn't pay much attention to it, just thinking it was an ordinary guest.
But when he saw Altria put down the snacks in her hand and her expression became serious, he followed her gaze and observed carefully:
He has a head full of white hair, deep wrinkles on his forehead, wears round-frame glasses, has a scar on his right eye, and the beard on his chin looks a bit like a barcode. People who don't know his identity will think that he has a very kind smile.
Zhang Da also made a gesture to Altria, worrying about how to speak so as to make it seem like he didn't know him at all.
When Altria saw that Zhang Daye gestured the number 13, she remembered that Zhang Daye had told her that the strongest man on the island was "Pluto" Silvers Rayleigh, who lived in seclusion in GR No. 13 in the Sabaody Archipelago and was the right-hand man of the Pirate King.
"A bottle of STAR-WINE." Rayleigh had already sat down at the bar. He was wearing a yellow long-sleeved shirt, a large white cape, and beach shorts. It was a messy outfit.
Zhang Da also turned around and took a bottle of wine, opened it and placed it in front of him. It was normal for Rayleigh to like the wine that Roger liked back then.
"Don't be nervous, little girl over there. I mean no harm." Rayleigh noticed Altria's alert look, but the smile on his face did not diminish .
Altria stood next to Zhang Daye. She had to be on guard against someone with such a strong aura, and a pirate at that.
Rayleigh took two gulps from the bottle, his eyes moving around Altria, Rui Mengmeng, and Tom, before finally settling on Zhang Daye. "Brother, do you think you know me?"
"Ah? What's your name? This should be the first time I meet you, uncle. Are you a regular customer of this pub?" Zhang Da also felt something was not good, seeing that Reilly looked like he came here on purpose.
“Haha, I am…”
"Hey, isn't this Old Lei from Coating? I heard that you lost all your money gambling a few days ago. Now you have money to drink again?" A boatman greeted Rayleigh familiarly, putting his arm around his shoulder.
Now Zhang Da also confirmed one thing, this guy didn't even trim the shape of his beard, nor changed his name and just directly became a coating craftsman, what a perfunctory seclusion.
It would be strange if the navy didn't know he was here. They would definitely not bother to care about him because they saw he was not causing any trouble.
