"Not well-recruited..."
Colonel Brynbrin's face turned pale. Shouldn't he be said to be a master who could fight one against a hundred? In addition to his strength, his appetite was also equal to that of one against a hundred. Will he be deducted several months of salary after returning to the base this time? ah?
"How about... let's pay for the food?" Zhang Da also had a good impression of this naval captain. After tricking him, his conscience was a little uneasy. He didn't know if all the navy soldiers had eaten dinner. If everyone was going to be hungry, The accommodation is not good.
"No...it's unnecessary. I originally wanted to entertain you, so how can I collect money?" Bryn Blin rejected Zhang Daye's proposal. He agreed to treat everyone but then collected money afterwards. He couldn't do this. , and doing this can be considered as discrediting the Navy.
After seeing the Amber tour group off the warship, the chef came out of the kitchen holding on to the wall and said with an ugly face: "Colonel, the soldiers' dinner has not been prepared yet... and the chefs can't hold on any longer."
"Notice, let's take care of the pirates first. Dinner will be postponed for now. The World Government's ship is already on the way. I will negotiate to borrow some food later." Bryn Bryn held his forehead, and wanted to Embarrassed in front of those officials.
But... Bryn Bryn had a bold idea.
It was getting late, and Zhang Da didn't plan to travel all night. Everyone parked the Amber near the warship, and sat together in a small bar, drinking drinks and reviewing today's battle.
Although it was just a crushing battle, it was the first time to deal with an enemy of this size, so it was possible to gain some experience. Arturia was responsible for commenting on everyone's performance. After all, she was the only one who had experienced war.
Among them, Zhang Da was also severely criticized for exposing his back to the enemy in battle. The more worried he was about his companions, the less he should do that. Even if the pirates in the East China Sea are not strong, what if they have any special weapons? Iron blocks cannot Anti-scalding, anti-toxic and anti-corrosion.
Zhang Da also believed it and humbly admitted his mistake, saying that he would not be so careless next time, although he had thought so the last time he used an iron block.
Tom and Shark Pepper were praised for their clever use of terrain to eliminate a large number of enemies at once, saving time and effort.
Tom looked proud, and Shark Pepper said that it really had nothing to do with him, but no one could tell whether it was Tom's plan that the bridge collapsed at that time, or whether Shark Pepper happened to hit a key point, just like Saab's move to demolish the house. The same as the dedicated 'Dragon's Breath'.
The World Government's ship only arrived at about nine o'clock in the evening. It was not an organization like CP, but a department in charge of the East China Sea. Because it was too late, it was only busy with the navy and did not disturb Zhang Daye and the others.
Ye Yan was worried that something would go wrong, so he sent Sui Fenger over to eavesdrop.
Fortunately, there was no bloody incident like officials trying to evade responsibility and biting the Amber Tour Group. It was just an ordinary handover.
As for the escaped workers, the tentative plan is to mobilize some prisoners from other places. Those who escaped are slowly investigated, and it seems that they don't have much hope. There are so many people on the vast sea who can easily find a place to change their appearance and live a new life. It is impossible to issue more than a thousand reward orders at once.
When talking about the Amber Tour Group, Colonel Blimbling's words were filled with praise and admiration, while the officials were filled with curiosity.
According to Sui Feng'er's judgment, there shouldn't be any twists and turns this time.
The next morning, Zhang Da also met an official from the World Government. He was wearing a black suit and a mustache. He looked quite friendly.
Colonel Brynbrin helped with the introduction, and the man said politely: "Hello, Mr. Zhang Daye, I am Enlaqi, who is fully responsible for this incident. I would like to ask you for some details. Is it convenient? "
"No problem." Zhang Da also readily agreed. Anyway, the guard was killed by Creek, the transport ship was robbed by Creek, and the key was obtained by Creek's men. There is no one with Zhang Da. Dime relationship.
No matter how you ask, the Amber Tour Group also helped defeat the pirates' allies and made such a great contribution, but in the end they only received more than 10 million in bounty and one meal. Is this reasonable?
This was unreasonable, but Zhang Da did not show any dissatisfaction. Instead, he cooperated with the navy's work and upheld justice, which made the surrounding sailors extremely ashamed.
The little bit of resentment they had for having eaten up all the ingredients disappeared, and instead they took it for granted. Some people even began to think that if they wanted to become stronger, should they eat hard first? Go back and set a small goal, try eating a meal for five people first.
Enlaqi was also very polite to Zhang Da. Others didn't know much about this tour group, but he had heard about it a long time ago. Although he and the CP organization were not in the same system, he had heard some rumors.
Last year, there was a lot of rumors about the CP5 officer's attack on the judicial ship. Although the cause of the incident was unclear, the final result was not a secret among them - the tour group defeated the battleship formation controlled by CP5, and also Received compensation.
It is said that the compensation was deducted from CP5's funds. Up to now, that department is still in a state of survival. During this period, the newly appointed CP5 chief has been begging grandpa and grandma to borrow some funds.
So Enlaqi was a little surprised that the Amber Tour Group was able to defeat more than two thousand pirates, but he didn't find it unbelievable. He just didn't expect that half of the members of the team were elderly, children and pets.
Faced with such talents, Enlaqi couldn't help but extend an invitation and promised to arrange good positions for them.
Zhang Da was also perfunctory, and then took Enlaqi and Colonel Brynbrin to the bridge to survey the scene and answer some questions. Apart from Artoria accompanying them, the companions were left on the ship to do whatever they were supposed to do.
Some of Enlaqi's men took photos, and some took notebooks to record. It was not until noon that the investigation was completed.
Colonel Blimbling said goodbye: "There are still many things waiting for me to deal with in the base, so I won't stay any longer."
Enlage persisted and said: "Colonel Brynbulin, it's already noon, why don't we leave after lunch? We can also entertain everyone in the Amber Tour Group. I brought a few bottles of good wine."
Bryn Blin's expression was a little unnatural, and he forced a smile and said: "We have been out for a day. We are busy with tasks and it is difficult to explain to the base. Mr. Zhang, please come and help entertain us."
Bryn Bryn insisted on leaving, and when boarding the ship, he specifically asked Enlage many times to entertain the amber tour group on his behalf.
The navy warship set sail quickly, somewhat like it was fleeing. Enlage looked at the navy waving goodbye, and then looked at Artoria, confused.
…
"The pretzel potato pancakes were delicious this morning!" Zhang Daye chewed with a look of enjoyment. As long as there is a reliable recipe in cooking, you can always trust Tom's craftsmanship.
Arturia nodded in agreement. She ate even more deliciously than Zhang Daye. It was hard for her to eat mashed potatoes for so long before, but now she was not a little bit disgusted by the potatoes.
Tom was very satisfied with everyone's compliments. He chewed the potato cakes with a crunching sound.
Zhang Da also looked at Tom in confusion, and finally couldn't help but reach out and break off a small piece from the potato pancake in Tom's hand. He tried it and found that it was not that crispy at all...
Three days have passed since the incident in the Kingdom on the Bridge, and the Amber Tour Group continues their journey.
Although Enlaqi's last expression at noon that day was a little frightened, he still honestly followed the instructions of his superiors and paid Zhang Daye a replacement bonus, and also said that if there were any difficulties in the future, he could contact him.
It seems that his superiors have not completely given up on winning over the powerful fighting force of the Amber Tour Group.
After that, Zhang Daye and the others appeared in the newspaper again. Although it was not the front page headline, this time except the Amber, all members of the team were shown their faces. The news listed their "contributions" in the East China Sea and praised them without hesitation. Words, it feels a bit like setting them up as role models among bounty hunters.
This news is probably out of some necessity. The Navy has been under a lot of pressure recently. I may want to tell the public that even if you don’t want to be a navy, you don’t have to be a pirate. You can still gain fame and wealth by becoming a bounty hunter, and at the same time, Will gain the friendship of the Navy.
Zhang Da didn't care much about this approach. Anyway, there was no bad impact, and the money was given. The most serious consequence would be to attract the hatred of some pirates, and he would be able to earn more by then. Point the reward and you will get what you want.
Zhang Da was originally prepared to be attacked at any time, but unfortunately it backfired. Recently, their reputation was so loud in the East China Sea that the pirates simply speculated on the possible location of the Amber Tour Group based on newspapers. Avoid the entire sea area.
Three days passed, and Zhang Daye and the others did not see a single boat silhouette on the sea.
"That's right, it's the East China Sea after all." Zhang Da also counted on his fingers. The pirate groups he had encountered recently were all famous pirate groups. It was normal for other young pirates to be timid.
After sailing for a while, Arturia suddenly turned the rudder to adjust the direction of travel, and then adjusted it back again not long after.
Shark Chili, who always pays attention to the route, wondered: "What's wrong? You haven't reached the place where you want to turn yet, have you?"
Artoria frowned slightly: "It feels like there is something following us underwater. It's not like a big fish or sea beast, but a fish-man?"
"Then I'll go take a look." Shark Pepper jumped into the sea.
Zhang Da, who was training in the martial arts gym, also felt the strange movement just now and ran out and asked: "What happened?"
Arturia repeated what she just said.
"If it's a fishman, could it be a scout of the Aaron Pirates or something?" Zhang Daye looked happy and raised his head and shouted, "Perona, did you see the ship up there?"
Today Perona was curious and wanted to be a lookout, so she climbed into the lookout room with great difficulty.
Zhang Da also wanted to say that if she wanted to be responsible for the investigation, she could just use her spirit body to float higher, or scatter a few more little ghosts around, but seeing the look of expectation on her face, she just let her do it. In the Grand Line.
But now Zhang Da also called her but there was no response.
Zhang Daye climbed up the mast in twos and twos and entered the observation room. He saw Perona sleeping soundly on the ground holding her little bear doll, her pink twin ponytails spread messily beside her, and her legs wearing black and white striped stockings. The legs were curled up together, and a thin river hung from the corner of the mouth.
"Kumasi..." Perona rubbed her cheek against the bear's head and murmured in her sleep.
"If we really expect you to discover the danger, the whole ship will be dead..." Zhang Da was helpless, squatted down, raised his finger, and flicked Perona on the forehead.
"It hurts!" Perona woke up instantly, covered her forehead and shouted fiercely, "What are you doing!?"
"I should ask this question, is there any watchman who dozed off during working hours?" Zhang Da also knocked on the top of her head, "You have run out of snacks today."
"No! I didn't doze off, I..." Perona didn't think of a good excuse for a while.
Zhang Da also thought for her: "Do you want to say that you just leave your body here, and the spirit body has already gone out to investigate?"
"Is this still possible?" Perona suddenly realized, "Yes, that's it!"
"Very well, lie, tomorrow's snacks are gone."
"I was wrong, I'm sorry."
After giving Perona a lesson, Zhang Da also picked up his telescope and looked around, but found no ships.
Perona really used her spirit body to float out to investigate this time, but found nothing.
After waiting in disappointment for a while, a water column suddenly burst out a hundred meters in front of the Amber, followed immediately by a larger water column.
"What's going on? Is there a fight?" Zhang Da also quickly jumped down from the observation room.
Others were also attracted by the sound of water and gathered on the deck.
Ye Yan was about to release the Tide Caller to see the situation, but he saw half of Shark Pepper's body already surfaced. Opposite him was a fish-man with light yellow skin and wearing a white martial arts uniform.
Shark Pepper shouted in the direction of the Amber: "Don't be nervous, this is Mr. Jinbei's friend, we are just competing!"
If he didn't shout, Shark Chili was worried that his companions would rush over and kill him.
The fish-man also said loudly: "Making friends with force is the way to make friends! I've heard my friend Jinbe mention you all in Haaku, so I'm here for a while today. Sorry to bother you!"
After saying hello, Haku and Shark Chili greeted each other and exchanged hands again, sometimes diving into the water and sometimes jumping out of the sea, causing the small area of the sea to undulate.
Of course Zhang Da also remembers this person. The first impression was that he punched Bartolomeo's barrier and broke his own wrist, which made people feel quite good.
But that’s actually because the barrier fruit’s ability is too strong. Haku’s own strength is still very powerful. At that time, he used the Four Thousand Wa Shoken. He is estimated to be about the same level as Jinbe’s deputy Aladdin in fish-man karate. .
And his true identity is actually a martial arts coach of the revolutionary army.
Zhang Da also looked at Haku in the distance. Did this person really come here specifically after hearing what Jinbei mentioned about us? The revolutionary army shouldn't be so free, right?
Go to sleep, sleep, I can't stand it anymore
