Chapter 8: The Newspaper Reader
Tom tilted his head, not understanding what Zhang Da was also surprised about. If you are hungry for a long time, you will become thinner, and if you are full, you will become fatter. Isn't this normal?
Zhang Da also wanted to smash his cat's head and tell him that it was not normal at all.
Thinking that he was Tom, Zhang Da felt relieved. He decided to use this time to study his golden finger.
He pressed the ring on the back of his left hand with his right hand, and the number 72% in the middle of the ring dimmed and turned into thin lines, forming a magic circle.
At this time, the light screen lit up, hovering above the back of Zhang Daye's left hand, and moved with his left hand.
The time is displayed at the top, and the magic circle representing energy is at the bottom.
Zhang Da also tried to click on the magic circle, and a prompt popped up on the screen: [Tip: Insufficient energy, unable to start summoning, please charge to more than 90%. ]
Then Zhang Da also tried to slide left and right. He slid to the right. At the top it said: [Inventory], and below it were small square grids, all of which were empty at this time.
After thinking about it, Zhang Da also picked up a piece of soap and tried to put it into the screen. There was no reaction, so he tried to put it on the back of his hand:
[Tip: Can only store summoned items. ]
So, it is possible to summon items from another world?
Although it was not an all-purpose portable space, Zhang Da was not too disappointed. He closed the inventory and slid to the left. At the top it said: [Character Bar], with only two avatars below.
One is Zhang Daye and the other is Tom. After clicking, their basic information and introduction will pop up.
Looking at his own profile, Zhang Da felt a little annoyed. The reason for his time travel was suspected to be because a roommate made a wish to a shooting star?
Which idiot is so good at playing?
Wait until the day I see a shooting star, and send all of you scumbags away one by one!
I flipped through several pages several times, worried that I might have missed some function, but it's actually that simple.
However, during the exploration, Zhang Da also felt that the screen-cutting effects of this thing were the same as his missing mobile phone, and the pattern of the magic circle looked like a superposition of his school badge and key.
I didn’t expect that putting two unrelated things together and then abstracting them into lines would look so classy?
After making sure that there was nothing to operate, Zhang Da pressed the back of his left hand again to make the screen disappear.
After rubbing his back, Tom was curiously looking at Zhang Da who was also busy.
Zhang Da also smiled and touched Tom the cat's head. After rinsing himself, he changed his clothes and walked out.
"Brother Tatsuya, your room is ready. Go in and have a rest for a while. I'll introduce Bayer to you later." Mrs. Molly greeted him.
"I'm sorry to trouble you."
"You are too polite. Bayer will cause trouble for you later!"
…
Zhang Da also took Tom into the guest room, which contained a single bed, neat bedding, and a small blanket for Tom.
There were water cups, snacks and a stack of newspapers on the bedside cabinet .
"This is very thoughtful." Zhang Da also sat on the bed. He just needed this to get some information.
I picked up the newspaper and flipped through it. There were five copies in total. The dates on them ranged from May 5 to May 9, 1510 in the Haiyuan calendar. It seemed that he had heard that he had been drifting on the sea for five days, so he prepared five copies?
Let's take a look at it first, and then I'll have to look for old newspapers to understand more about the matter.
The first thing Zhang Daye opened was the one dated May 7, not for any other reason but because the photo on the front page was so attractive.
She was a beautiful woman with a long-haired princess-cut hairstyle, wearing a pair of snake-shaped earrings, dressed boldly, with a haughty look, and a snake coiled behind her.
It seems that no matter who you are, you will be attracted to her the moment you see her, but unfortunately there are only black and white photos in the newspaper.
Zhang Da didn't look for a reward because the headline of the news was: "Pirate Queen, Boa Hancock, invited to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!"
If you become a Shichibukai, the bounty will be revoked, and of course there will be no more bounty orders.
The writer of this news seemed to understand the readers very well, and spent most of the text praising the empress's outstanding beauty and temperament.
Afterwards, it was briefly mentioned that she received a bounty of 80 million berries on her first voyage, and was subsequently invited to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
Finally, he gave a brief introduction to the Daughter Island Amazon Lily, and even recklessly called the Daughter Island a paradise for men.
Zhang Da, who knew the truth, also said that if he went there, he would die without knowing how he died.
"If the Empress has just become a Shichibukai, does that mean the Shichibukai are not complete yet?"
There seemed to be only this one piece of breaking news in the newspaper. The only other news that caught Zhang Da's attention was: "Major General Kadaru was transferred to the Sabaody Archipelago."
After all, I'm going to live here for a while, so it would be nice to get to know the naval generals here a little bit.
The following briefly mentions Major General Kadaru's resume. He was a subordinate of Lieutenant General Borsalino, the former commander of the G-2 Naval Fortress, and had made some achievements.
Zhang Da was also familiar with the name Borsalino. Later, he became one of the three admirals of the navy, Kizaru, the user of the Pikachu Fruit, and looked very wretched.
Some netizens jokingly said that he is Monkey D. Kizaru, Luffy's second uncle , an undercover agent of the Revolutionary Army, and also a part-time principal of a kindergarten.
Every word he speaks is terrifying, every kick he makes is a supernova, the salaries are in place, and the Four Emperors are destroyed.
If he is only a vice admiral now, then Akainu and Aokiji are probably about the same, Sengoku is still an admiral, and the navy marshal is Kong?
However, it is estimated that it will only be in the next few years that the three admirals of the navy will gather together.
Zhang Da also continued to search for useful information in several newspapers. His seriousness was probably only comparable to that of the "Newspaper Reading King".
Speaking of reading the newspaper king, there is indeed a piece of news about him, not from Crocodile, but from Doflamingo: "The Don Quixote family pirate ship encountered Admiral Tsuru in the North Sea and fled!"
"At this time, Doflamingo is still being chased around the world by Vice Admiral Tsuru, which means he hasn't become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea yet. I don't know what the current situation of Law and Corazon is."
"The Red Hair Pirates enter the Grand Line! Red Hair Shanks loses his arm, what kind of powerful enemy did they encounter!"
Haha, you may not believe it, but Red Hair not only had his arm broken, but his head was also slashed open by the Bandit King with a wine bottle.
I read through several newspapers, and besides these familiar characters, there was only one comic strip that was interesting: "The Brave Sea Warrior Sora and the Evil Army Germa."
It tells the story of Germa being defeated again and again. This sea warrior Sora has a seagull symbol on his body, and there are also seagulls among his fighting partners. No matter how you look at it, this comic doesn't seem to be a newspaper that relies on strength.
"Hoo~Hoo~" A soft calling sound came from the side.
Zhang Daye turned his head and saw that Tom had fallen asleep, wrapped in a small blanket like a caterpillar, with his head resting on Zhang Daye's legs and a bubble hanging on his nose that grew larger and smaller.
Zhang Da also smiled. Tom had been busy these days. He put down the newspaper, gently picked up Tom and put him on the pillow.
Feeling sleepy, Zhang Da also lay down beside him and prepared to take a nap. It was impossible to sleep comfortably while floating on the sea.
