Zhang Da also flirted a little bit, and then got back to the topic: "Although I am very happy to be said like this by you two, with all due respect, it would be too dangerous for you two to become bounty hunters with your current strength. He could be killed by pirates at any time."
"How...how is this..." Johnny and Joseph felt disillusioned. They didn't expect that they would finally have the opportunity to meet their idol. They bravely stepped forward to talk to them and told them their dreams. What they received instead of encouragement was a slap in the face. of cold water.
The expressions of the two teenagers were disappointed at first, and then they felt unconvinced.
Zhang Da also looked at their faces and continued: "If you still want to be a bounty hunter even so, then I will give you some advice."
"What is it?" Johnny and Joseph looked at him expectantly. Is Mr. Tatsuya going to tell them the secret of his rapid fame?
Zhang Daye smiled mysteriously, put his arms around the two people's shoulders and said: "Which one is better at learning swordsmanship? East China Sea Shuangyue Village Yixin Dojo! If you don't learn swordsmanship during the holidays this year, just go to Shuangyue Village to learn swordsmanship! We don't teach people swordsmanship, we are just Yixin Dojo The introducer..."
Tom sucked a finger, feeling that his master was doing something bad, but he had no proof.
"Thank you for your teaching!"
"We will keep it in mind!"
"Then without further ado, let's set off now!"
"That's right!"
Johnny and Joseph were promoted by Zhang Daye, and they decided on the spot to go to Shuangyue Village to learn skills first, and then go out to work after they were successful in their studies. At the same time, they also memorized the six-character mantra that Zhang Daye gave to him to become stronger - 'Eat more and exercise more. '
Zhang Da, who watched the two people leave, also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he still couldn't bear to persuade the two people to give up directly. He felt that breaking the dreams of two passionate teenagers was too much. After all, what they were pursuing was not a bad dream.
After Johnny and Joseph went to Shuangyue Village, Zhang Daye estimated that there would be two possibilities. One was that he was struck by Guina and Sauron's talents, and then realized that he was an ordinary person and chose to live an ordinary life. Go down. The other kind not only did not get hit, but also worked hard and really learned good swordsmanship and realized their dreams. Congratulations to them.
What the future holds depends on their own choices.
After watching the two little fans leave, Zhang Da also prepared to purchase supplies. The shopping list was provided by Rui Mengmeng. Her main job now is the warehouse keeper of the Amber, although she has never been able to guard against Tom and Artoria. Invasion, but everyone understands.
Fortunately, Arturia is more measured than Tom, so she doesn't eat too much. She usually only commits crimes after estimating the food reserves when she is about to arrive at the next island, so there has never been a situation where she made everyone hungry during the voyage. Stomach condition, temporarily.
The ingredients in Rogge Town are not too special, but occasionally some fish from the Grand Line and the South China Sea appear, and the price is usually very expensive.
Zhang Da didn't even consider the fish from the Grand Line. He only rounded up the fish from the South China Sea that he had never eaten before. He had no choice but to make the people around him and the cat's eyes on his shoulders sparkle.
Arturia asked: "Why are there fish from the South Sea, but not from the West Sea and the North Sea?"
Zhang Daye explained: "Strictly speaking, there are only two oceans on this planet separated by the Red Continent. The East China Sea and the South China Sea are on the same side. Although they are separated by the first half of the Great Route, they are actually connected. So it’s not surprising that fish swim by occasionally.”
"But the West Sea and the North Sea are completely on the other side of the Red Earth Continent, and the fish won't deliberately dive to a depth of 10,000 meters and swim over from the channel near Fishman Island to feed us."
Listening to Zhang Daye's description, a globe appeared above Tom's head. On it, the Red Continent and the Grand Line intersected, and the four separated oceans were labeled southeast, northwest, and east. Tom looked up and nodded to express his understanding.
Artoria also took a look at the three-dimensional modeling Tom made with his mind. It was clear, simple and easy to understand.
Zhang Daye comforted him: "It doesn't matter if you can't buy it here. Anyway, we have to continue traveling and we will always taste it."
The necessary things were almost purchased, and Zhang Da was ready to go back to the ship to see how the situation was there, but he encountered a weapons store on the way.
The boss's interesting hairstyle resembled a pair of black wings, which impressed Zhang Daye deeply. The point is, wasn't this the boss who gave away Zoro's third-generation ghost Tetsu and the famous sword Yukizai? Zhang Da also decided to go in and have a look.
"Welcome, guest!" Ipponmatsu said enthusiastically, "This is a weapons store with a history of 200 years. We will definitely be able to choose weapons that satisfy you!"
The current Rogge Town has not been cleared by Smoker. Many pirates and bounty hunters come to Benbenmong to buy weapons. When Zhang Daye entered the store, there were many people buying swords, so Benbensong only had time to say hello. After saying something to Zhang Daye and the others, he hurriedly went to pay the bills for other customers.
Tom looked around curiously, especially interested in the horned helmet hanging on the wall.
Arturia looked at the spears, swords, shields, and armor that seemed to be used by knights.
Zhang Daye wandered over to the pile of worthless swords in the corner and looked through them intentionally or unintentionally. He just looked at all the swords and couldn't see the shadow of the third generation of ghost swords. Did the boss not get them yet?
But it doesn't matter. He's not used to using that type of knife anyway. Even if he wants to use it, he still has a black knife in his hand. He looks through it just out of curiosity.
Because the East China Sea is now in a mess with Zhang Daye, and Nami, the navigator, has also been booked, it is hard to say whether Sauron can go to Rogge Town, and the word "Hedao" will definitely be passed to Kuina, so Zoro Will we only be able to use ordinary knives in the future?
Thinking of Nami, Zhang Da also looked at the several exquisite pistols placed on the shelf. How about giving her a small gift for self-defense?
Before Zhang Da had finished choosing, he heard a loud voice shouting: "Boss, how much do these knives cost?"
"Oh, the customer is really discerning! The quality of these knives is very good, almost comparable to 'famous knives'..." Ipponmatsu boasted a few words about his own things, rubbing his hands together, "Such a fine knife, every time One is only 500,000 beli, and you have chosen three in total, totaling 1.5 million beli, and the shop can also give you three whetstones as a gift, which is a great deal!"
The loud voice frowned and said, "It's too expensive. How about three knives worth 300,000?"
Zhang Da was also shocked and almost lost his hold on the gun in his hand. What kind of bargaining genius is he? He really dares to speak. He is worth learning.
Ipponmatsu said with some embarrassment: "Guest, your bargaining will make it difficult for me. It's a small business. If you only have 300,000 yuan, you can look at the second-class knives over there."
"Then what happens?" The loud voice pulled out a knife and put it on Ipponmatsu's neck. "I am Lauder, the loud voice who has a bounty of 1.5 million Baileys. I still have money left to buy supplies and go to the Grand Line. Are you asking Should I trade my head for these three knives?"
Lauder is a principled pirate, and he generally won't rob things that can be bought with money, unless he thinks they are expensive...well, he has principles, but not much.
Zhang Da was also disappointed. He thought this guy had some special bargaining skills. Now it seems that the highest level of bargaining is to cut people off?
Lauder and the pirates behind him had proud smiles on their faces. Bargaining like this saves time and effort, as long as the owner of the weapons store... The smiles on their faces froze.
Because the knife in Lauder's hand got into Ipponmatsu's hand at some point, and the blade was also placed on Lauder's neck: "So, it would be really difficult for the customer to bargain like this."
"Three knives cost 1.5 million beli. They are genuine. However, in view of the guest's rude behavior, the whetstone will not be given as a gift. How about that?"
Lauder swallowed, and his loud voice turned into a whisper: "Okay... okay."
With a sigh of relief, he put the knife back into the scabbard in Lauder's hand: "Chenghui, we do not accept credit for cash transactions."
Damn it, this uncle is so handsome. If you think about it carefully, you can open a weapons store in a place like Rogue Town, and it has pirates as its important customers. It has been 200 years since it opened. How many people should there be in this Ipponmatsu family? His unique skills were passed down, otherwise he would have been bought for zero dollars and he would have gone bankrupt. It seems that this swordsmanship should be enough to deal with the level of the Bandit King.
Then Zhang Da also got entangled, why can this uncle install the fork so smoothly, but there will be accidents every time I install the fork, it is unscientific!
The pirates paid the money honestly and left the weapon shop in dejection. However, they immediately became energetic again after leaving the door. Looking at the direction they were walking in, it looked like a dock...
So Zhang Daye asked: "Boss, do you accept second-hand knives here, the ones that are 100% new?"
"Ten percent new? Are you thinking..." Ippon Song, who was looking down at Zhang Tatsuya while keeping his account, then looked at Tom who was playing with a pair of horn helmets, and suddenly realized: "You are..."
Zhang Da also gave him a bright smile. It was more cost-effective for him to recycle such a knife than to give it directly to the navy.
Ipponmatsu smiled and said: "Take it, why not? If it is really 100% new, I can give you a good price."
"Okay, I'll bring it to you later." Zhang Da also selected two pistols and a rifle, "How much do these guns cost?"
These three guns are just for Nami's family of three. You can ask the postman to help deliver them later. If you can't find them, you can ask the navy for help. Zhang Da also feels that they will give them this face.
"I'll charge you one hundred thousand beli, and use those three knives to make up for the rest. I can also give you some extra high-quality ammunition." Ipponmatsu felt that the reputation of the Amber Tour Group was trustworthy.
Tom tugged at the corner of Zhang Tatsuya's clothes and pointed at the horn helmet in his hand to express his desire.
This horned helmet is completely useless, and no one on the ship needs this kind of armor. Zhang Da also looked at Tom and said, "I bought it, check out!"
Whether it is useful or not is put aside for now, but if Tom wants to buy it, he will buy it and highlight it as a favor.
At this time, Artoria also tugged at Zhang Tatsuya's clothes, but her hands were empty.
Zhang Da also asked: "What's wrong, what do you want?"
Artoria said: "I also want one of this, but can I convert it into ice cream?"
Zhang Daye: "..."
…
When they returned to the Amber, in addition to Zhang Da also pushing a cart of goods, Artoria also pushed a small cart with an ice cream machine on it with a smile on her face.
The price of the horned helmet that Tom was interested in was quite high, which would be too much when converted into ice cream. Zhang Da also decided to just buy a machine. Last time, he even got a marshmallow machine from the Bucky Pirates. and popcorn machine, and adding an ice cream machine wouldn’t be a big deal.
After carrying the machine onto the ship, Perona, Wendy and Xia Lulu excitedly circled around the machine with Artoria, eager to give it a try.
Zhang Da also asked: "You came back so early? Did you encounter any trouble?"
Wendy said with some embarrassment: "If it's troublesome, we actually encountered a problem. We beat two people."
"Huh? What's going on? Who bullied you? Have you been beaten to death? Have you had any last hits?" It seemed a bit excessive to say this, but Zhang Da also thought that Wendy would not take the initiative to cause trouble, so she must have been bullied. Counterattack, it is definitely not a good idea to bully such a cute little loli.
"It's a green comb-headed kid who wants to steal our lollipops!" The expression on Perona's face looked like she had won a fight. "Although I didn't expect that guy to be a person with abilities, Lady Perona still managed to do it beautifully. Taught him a lesson!"
A green comb-headed esper? Zhang Da also thought about it, he couldn't be a big fan of the Straw Hat Pirates, right? It seems that before going to sea, he was a gangster in Rogge Town. Now he is actually doing things like grabbing lolita lollipops?
"That guy's ability is quite tricky, but it is completely useless against Perona." Xia Lulu explained the situation carefully, and Zhang Da also confirmed that the person was Bartolomeo, a barrier fruit user.
The former Barrier Fruit ability user and the previous Mimic Fruit ability user were both subordinates of the Black Carbon Orochi of Wano Country. When Kozuki Oden and Kaido were fighting about seven or eight years ago, the Mimic Fruit ability user turned into Momonosuke, which made Kouzuki Oden look like Momonosuke. Tsuki Oda was distracted and was knocked down by Kaido with a stick.
However, afterwards, the upright teacher Kaido was dissatisfied with her interference in the battle and killed her. The barrier fruit ability user wanted to protect her, but was also killed together, allowing Bartolomeo to obtain the fruit.
The barrier fruit is a very powerful ability. It can block cuts, punches, and explosions. The 4,000-tile square punch of fishman karate will only break the person who punched it. The king's fist can penetrate the fortress with one blow. There's nothing you can do against him.
However, the flaw of the Barrier Fruit is that the esper must maintain specific gestures to be effective. Perona's negative ghost has no entity and can penetrate all wall-like obstacles. Naturally, it is Bartolomeo's nemesis and offends Perona. The consequences can be imagined.
The negative ghost took effect, and Bartolomeo fell to his knees. Naturally, he could no longer maintain his gestures, and the barrier was lifted. Then he was punched and kicked by Perona. All the special training results during this period were used on him. On the body.
Zhang Da also asked: "Then how did you deal with that person in the end?"
