Chapter 76 That cat is a devil
"Of course, you join the navy to uphold justice, protect civilians, and fight pirates." Vice Admiral Tsuru gave a nearly standard answer and advised, "I have heard about some of what you have done recently. I think you have the intention to protect civilians. Joining the navy is the best choice."
Hearing her talk about what she had done recently, Zhang Da subconsciously felt a little guilty, but after thinking about it, she should have been talking about catching the fake straw hat: "You may think too highly of me. I only provoked those people when I was sure we could win. If we couldn't win, I would have run away long ago. In fact, you can say that I was greedy for the reward."
"The assumption you made does not exist. All I know is that you defeated the pirates and prevented nearby residents from being harmed. That's enough." Vice Admiral Tsuru looked at him and continued:
"From your tone, it seems that you don't trust the navy enough. Don't worry about that. Even if you become a navy, you will not be forced to fight against an enemy that you can never defeat."
I just don't believe this! Major General Kadaru's case is there!
But he couldn't say this out loud. Kadalu was drunk and accidentally said something he shouldn't have said. If Zhang Da brought it up, he might end up getting into trouble.
At this time, a cat's paw stretched out from the side, touched a piece of dessert and wanted to leave.
Zhang Da also grabbed Tom, brought him close and stroked him twice, then looked at Altria and Rui Mengmeng, and glanced at the guests who were talking and laughing. He did not respond to Vice Admiral He's words, but said:
"Compared to joining the navy, I still prefer my current life. I have a cat, a house, and... friends. When I have nothing to do, I listen to the guests bragging. If I encounter troublemakers, I will beat them up and kick them out."
"The navy is not as rigid as you say. In fact, there are many eccentric guys even in the headquarters of the navy. With your abilities, it will be no problem for you to keep pets, drink and chat after joining the navy." He Zhong said that he had seen many weirdos in the navy over the years. As long as one has the ability, personal habits and hobbies are not important at all.
"Wow, I didn't expect there are so many beauties in this tavern. Come and have a drink with me!" The three ruffians started flirting with the female marines brought by Altria, Rui Mengmeng and Vice Admiral Tsuru when they saw them.
The guests in the tavern all showed expressions of waiting for a good show. The tavern itself was already not easy to deal with, and now there was a vice admiral of the navy present, so what was going to happen next was bound to be exciting.
These people seemed to have gotten used to the attention of others. Not only did they not feel uncomfortable, they even felt proud of it.
"Hey, hurry up and bring some wine!" One of them slammed the table, and when he saw the profile of Lieutenant General He sitting at the bar, he didn't recognize him for a moment, and shouted, "You old woman, you're so old and you're still trying to come to the tavern like others. Aren't you afraid that the wine glass will knock your teeth off?"
The other two laughed out loud.
Altria glanced at Zhang Daye, asking who would take action.
Zhang Da also shook his head slightly to indicate that it was okay, then stared at Lieutenant General He with an expression as if he wanted to watch the fun.
The female marine behind Vice Admiral He was about to take action when she heard Vice Admiral He scolding her with a smile, "Bad boy."
I don't know whether he was talking about Zhang Da or those little thugs.
Anyway, in the blink of an eye, a clothesline appeared in the tavern, and the three gangsters suffered a dimensionality reduction attack, and were hung on the rope by pink clips like three pieces of clothes.
The three of them were "refreshed", with water stains still hanging on their bodies, and their hands and feet were floating weakly in the air:
"It's washed!"
"It's hung out to dry!"
"Sorry, we were wrong!"
Vice Admiral Tsuru is the user of the Wash-Wash Fruit, which allows him to wash anything as clean as clothes. Even the evil in the hearts of those whose clothes have been washed will be slightly removed. Therefore, to many evil pirates, Vice Admiral Tsuru may be more troublesome than the admirals of the navy.
It is precisely because of this ability that Doflamingo flees when he sees her. For him, eliminating evil thoughts is more terrifying than cutting his flesh.
Zhang Da also reached out and touched the "clothes": "It's amazing."
Altria poked curiously as well, this was her first time seeing a devil fruit power and it felt like magic.
These three washed people really feel as soft as clothes, and they are wet clothes!
I don't know how to restore it to its original state, after it dries?
Tom broke free from Zhang Daye's clutches, picked out a piece of clothing closest to him, and tugged at it like he was playing with a cat toy.
The guests in the tavern widened their eyes. Not every ordinary person knew about devil fruits, and such magical abilities were very new to them.
Vice Admiral He, who had killed several minions in seconds, acted as if nothing had happened. He did not care that they screamed from time to time because of Tom's bullying. He continued:
"You said you like your current life. One of the reasons why we in the navy fight is to allow more people to live a peaceful life. Are you willing to do this?"
"I admire sailors like you who devote their youth to justice, and I also admire sailors who sacrificed their lives to protect the people, but I can't do that yet." Zhang Da also expressed his attitude, and frankly said that he was not that noble:
"As for upholding justice, I heard that the admirals in the navy believe in various kinds of justice. If it were me, I would probably say 'justice within my power'. At least if my neighbors or acquaintances were to encounter pirates one day, I would not stand idly by."
…
After Vice Admiral He left, she realized that Zhang Da was also the kind of person who put his own safety first and would be happy to help others if he had the ability.
If you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world.
There is no such sentence in this world, but Zhang Daye’s attitude is very clear.
Vice Admiral Tsuru does not hate such people. At least such people will not take the initiative to do evil. If they are to be divided into camps, they can be classified as friendly forces.
She didn't try to persuade the other two people because they didn't show any interest in her conversation with Zhang Daye. Their attitude was probably that "everything is decided by the boss."
I really don’t know how a small boss with mediocre ability can find such employees.
Before leaving, Lieutenant General He took three pieces of "clothes" with him - he had to take them away because the cat had already taken off a piece of "clothes" and spread it on the table, and took out the iron to do housework.
Small hooligans like these can be released after some punishment and re-education. Their crimes are not serious enough to require torture. Moreover, people of their level may be able to reform themselves after being cleansed by Vice Admiral Tsuru's ability.
When they were taken away by Vice Admiral He, the three of them cried bitterly. They thought that the cat was a devil . They would never dare to do bad things again!
"Justice within our power?" Vice Admiral Tsuru looked back at this ordinary tavern and chuckled, "As long as it's justice."
