"My name is Zhang Tatsuya. Uncle, you can just call me Tatsuya. His name is Tom."
"It turns out to be Brother Tatsuya." Uncle Goodman looked at Tom with a smile, "It seems that this cat is very important to you. If it were anyone else, I would have eaten it long ago after being hungry for so long."
"Meow!!!" The hair on Tom's body exploded. This man is so scary, he actually eats cats!
"Tom is my important partner." Zhang Da also replied, then gently smoothed Tom's hair, "Uncle is joking."
Tom rubbed Zhang Daye's face, then hid behind Zhang Daye's neck, observing in secret.
"Haha, I'm sorry for scaring you, smart kitten." Goodman smiled heartily, not showing much surprise at Tom's spiritual appearance.
There are many smart animals in this world. The simplest example is the diligent newspaper delivery gulls. Not only can they fly across the sea carrying a large bag of heavy newspapers, but they can also calculate accounts and collect money according to the number of copies of newspapers.
"So what are Tatsuya's plans next?"
"I'm going to...find a restaurant or something first, and work part-time to earn some money." As he spoke, Zhang Daye's stomach rumbled.
Tom's stomach growled as if he was infected. The claws that were holding Zhang Daye's clothes suddenly seemed to have lost their strength. The whole cat flowed from his shoulders like a pool of liquid and fell into Zhang Daye's body. In arms.
"I see that you are not in good condition. Why don't you go to my house and take a rest first?"
"is this okay?"
"It's okay. Although I'm not a rich man, it's okay to provide some food."
"I mean, why are you helping us so much, if I'm the bad guy?"
"Brother, you don't look like a bad guy. And don't look at me like this. I can beat ten of you like you!" Goodman flexed his muscles and said with a smile, "You should be worried about me, little brother." Brother, you are right to worry!"
Zhang Da also believed it. This uncle's arms were thicker than his thighs, and he seemed to be more than two meters tall. He was not even a younger brother in front of him at his height of 1.8 meters.
Tom's stomach growled again. Zhang Daye looked at Tom's pitiful appearance, nodded and said, "Thank you, uncle."
"That's right. A man should be more decisive in doing things. Hesitation is what it looks like. I remember when I was young, no matter it was work or anything else, once I set my goal..."
Goodman led Zhang Daye while talking about his heroic deeds.
So 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. By the way, I learned that he had a lively son at the age of 34.
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 that Tom had helped the Pirate King build a ship, he seemed to have been convicted by the World Government.
When it came to Pirate King Roger, he complained for a while, blaming that guy for talking about great secret treasures before his death. In the past few years, many outstanding young people went to sea when their heads were hot, and he didn't know what they were doing now.
What makes Goodman the most angry is that his four-year-old son Bayer heard someone bragging about the exploits of the Pirate King a while ago. He came home and shouted that he wanted to become the Pirate King.
Of course, he was given a severe lesson by Goodman. Because he was a bit cruel, Goodman was complained by his wife Molly for several days.
Zhang Da also finally found a chance to interject and asked how long it had been since Roger was executed.
Goodman thought for a while: "It's been twelve years, right? I remember that I was 28 years old at that time, and I just started dating Molly. It's really nostalgic. At that time, we..."
Yes, yes, I already know how handsome and strong you were at that time, uncle, and I also know how sweet you are...
Zhang Da was also a little helpless. He didn't expect that Uncle Goodman, who appeared to be such a tough guy, was actually a talker. And every time he mentioned things about his youth, Zhang Da always felt that the person speaking in front of him was Usopp.
Following Goodman helplessly, Zhang Da also began to calculate. He still 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 a few. A little kid of seven or eight?
These have nothing to do with him for the time being. What is important is, have there been any dangerous events near Shampoo recently?
Unexpectedly, except for Wang Luffy violently beating up the Celestial Dragons ten years later, there seems to be no big trouble, right? Then there should be no need to worry about dying inexplicably in the aftermath of a strong man's battle.
In addition to the Tianlong people who often visit the Shampoo Islands, there are occasionally some small-scale pirates causing trouble, but most of the time they are in illegal areas.
Just stay away. Judging from Uncle Goodman's appearance, at least their family should have never been attacked by pirates.
In addition, the "Pirate King's right hand" and "Hades", Silbaz Rayleigh, should be living in seclusion on this island now. With his character, it seems that he will not harass the civilians.
I hope what is shown in the anime is the real thing, and Zhang Da can only hope so.
As long as you're careful, there shouldn't be any danger in the short term, and then...
You need to understand this cheat quickly.
Zhang Da also looked at his left hand and was slightly startled. After a while, his energy seemed to have increased again?
【72%】
Although it is only an increase of 1%, it has indeed increased.
First of all, it can't be because of solar or wind energy, otherwise it would have been full in the past few days at sea.
Zhang Da also thought about how all he had done since loading the language pack was walking, talking and thinking.
In the past few days, I had been talking to Tom a lot and had random thoughts. I had also experienced emotions such as shock, fear, happiness, etc. It should not be due to this aspect.
So walking...is this thing a pedometer?
Think about the surge in energy during the period before landing. At that time, all I did was paddle, paddle hard.
So, this thing is most likely a pedometer, or... a sports bracelet?
Can you recharge your energy only by exercising?
I’ll have to verify it carefully later!
Zhang Da also made a preliminary judgment, and Goodman's ramblings came to an end for the time being:
"We're almost there. The second house on the street ahead is my home."
Zhang Da also looked at the place pointed by Goodman, which was still within the scope of Island No. 59.
Goodman's home is a two-story building. The first floor is nothing special, and the second floor is a spherical building.
Not only the Goodman house, but also many surrounding buildings have a spherical structure on top, which seems to be the architectural style of this generation.
Zhang Da also doesn’t know much about architecture. He just thinks it is similar to which country, but he can’t say specifically.
As for Tom, all he could think about at this time was food. If he had food to eat, even the cat-eating uncle would not seem so scary.
