Hawkeye's knife skills are very good, and the roasted meats he cuts out are neat and even in thickness. At first glance, he is a good candidate to be a chef.
He politely asked Rui Mengmeng for a set of tableware, and returned to his boat to get a bottle of red wine to share with everyone.
Unfortunately, the only people present who knew about red wine were Shark Pepper, Artoria, and Tom.
What surprised Eagle Eye was that as a tavern owner, Zhang Da could not say anything except that the bottle of wine was not cheap. It was a waste of money. But it doesn’t matter, just treat it as repaying the debt.
Zhang Da was also imitating Tom's example in tasting wine, and suddenly felt that he was despised. He looked at Hawkeye a little unhappily: "Excuse me, why can you eat and drink for free so confidently?"
"I provided the wine." Hawkeye said that at least he didn't drink for nothing.
Before Zhang Da could continue to find trouble, Hawkeye waved the knife he had just used to cut meat a few times, and then a big bird fell from the sky. When it landed, all its feathers were shaved clean.
"I helped with the hunting and processed the ingredients."
The three little lolita clapped together, their eyes sparkling. This uncle was not only powerful, but also very easy-going. I was a little afraid of him after watching the competition between him and Artoria, but now I feel a lot closer to him. .
Zhang Da also moved his lips and was speechless. Grandma, why can't he be happy at all even though he has earned a few glasses of wine and a big dish?
Brother, your character is ruined! Zhang Da also wanted to say this, but if he thought about it carefully, the Hawkeye in the original work was the kind of person who would seriously argue with Perona about who cooks more often, and his current behavior does not seem strange.
It's just that most people can't see this side of him.
"Damn it, he got it!" Ye Yan poked Zhang Daye with his elbow and said with a playful smile, "Isn't that what you meant to say?"
"..." Zhang Da didn't say anything. He felt that Ye Yan didn't hold it in well.
"You're obviously here to eat and drink, but you have such an arrogant attitude and steal the attention of the sisters. Can you tolerate this? You can't tolerate it!" Ye Yan fanned the flames and encouraged, "I'll lead the cheerleading team while I beat him. Support you!"
I think you want him to cut me!
It's a pity that Zhang Da is not one of those mindless little pirates and won't be fooled by Ye Yan: "Since you can't bear it anymore, why don't I give you a chance and take the lead?"
"Ah? What? Uncle Long, did you call me?" Ye Yan turned around and disappeared in front of Zhang Daye in an instant.
Zhang Da also looked at Hawkeye's black knife thoughtfully. He learned something every time he was whipped. Now that Hawkeye is in front of him, do you want to have a fight with him?
When the hawk's eyes swept over, Zhang Da also shook his head, forget it. If you go to him, you will probably end up with a knife.
This is not a person who can teach his disciples well. If he loses an eye after not learning much about swordsmanship, it will be a lot of fun. Learning from Artoria is very good.
"You two haven't said who won?" Zhang Daye asked. Just now Artoria was busy eating, and Hawkeye was in a hurry to go back to get the wine. When everyone didn't pay attention, these two people came over to eat. How did it end? Do not know at all.
"There's no winning or losing," Hawkeye said.
Artoria nodded: "Because we are almost missing lunch time, we decided to eat first."
Hawkeye didn't say anything. You were the only one who decided to stop without permission, right?
When the fragrance wafted over, Artoria was shaken a little bit. It would be fine if this was a life-and-death battle. Winning was more important than anything else, but this was just an ordinary competition...
Then Hawkeye didn't want to fight anymore. He was always keenly aware of his opponent's state during the battle, and Artoria's changes were not hidden from him. Nothing is more boring than an opponent who is distracted, even just a little bit.
How could a swordsman be shaken by such a trivial matter? Hawkeye felt a little sorry, although the food Tom made was indeed delicious.
Hawkeye is not a talkative person. When facing people he doesn't know well, even if he attends a banquet, he just drinks quietly by himself, exuding an aura of keeping strangers away from him. But luckily Shark Pepper took the initiative to talk to Hawkeye.
For Artoria's sake, Hawkeye didn't mind communicating with Shark Pepper, a strange robot, especially since he didn't look like a weakling.
So the two of them talked about the red wine in the glass, which kind of red wine tasted the best, and then talked about the famous red wine producing areas in the world, and then talked about the climate of the paradise and the new world, and got a lot of useful information.
Zhang Da was also listening and silently gave Shark Chili a thumbs up. It's not impossible to let him liven up the atmosphere by himself, after all, the tavern has been open for so long, but it certainly can't be as smooth and natural as Shark Chili.
Hawkeye was also surprised. Over the years, apart from Shanks, the person he had the best rapport with was actually the robot Shark Pepper. It was really unpredictable. If that red-haired idiot saw the robot Pepper, he would probably fall in love with him. Let your eyes shine.
The atmosphere was quite harmonious and the simple lunch was over quickly. The little girls had already gone to play by themselves, while others were clearing away the tableware.
In the Amber's kitchen, Hawkeye took off his cloak, rolled up his shirt sleeves and stood by the sink to help.
"Click!" The sound of the shutter sounded.
Hawkeye turned his head and looked at Zhang Daye: "What to do?"
Zhang Daye raised the camera with a smile: "Sorry, I couldn't help myself when I saw the world's greatest swordsman washing dishes. Do I want to give you the negatives?"
Hawkeye rinsed the plate in his hand, wiped it dry with a rag, and said calmly: "Don't do such boring things."
Does this mean it doesn't matter? Zhang Da also pushed for the next step: "Can I get a news agency to submit an article? The remuneration will be 30 to 70 cents."
"Okay, you are also a swordsman, right? As long as you can defeat me." Hawkeye wiped his hands and left the kitchen.
"Okay, I'll make a lot of money then." Zhang Da also put away the camera. After thinking about it carefully, something seemed wrong, "When I win, won't the value of this photo depreciate?"
Zhang Da also looked at the handsome uncle's back with a little disgust.
"Brother Tatsuya! We found an old man on stilts! Such high stilts!" Weiwei, riding Karu, ran back with a whirring sound to report the news.
"Stilt walker? Oh, here it comes!"
…
"My name is Dongjit. I am a herdsman from Changhuan Changdao. Thank you for saving me from the bamboo stilts. Thank you very much!" said an old man with a white beard wearing a felt hat. "It's really magical. It can fly." A cat, and it can talk.”
Xia Lulu was used to being said like this. She asked, "Why is grandpa trapped up there?"
"Ah..." Dongjit put his hands behind his back with a deep expression, "I wanted to challenge the world's tallest stilt record, but I didn't expect that after I stepped on it... I couldn't get down, and I stayed there for a year!"
"Are you an idiot?!" Perona complained loudly.
"Perona, it's so rude to speak to an old man like this." Jackie Chan held down Perona's head, even though he wanted to say so himself.
Perona apologized obediently, she didn't want to listen to Uncle Long's nagging.
"No, it doesn't matter. It's good to be able to come down." Dongjit said, "You know that the bamboo is still growing taller this year. The taller it grows, the less I dare to come down. It really scares me to death."
Ye Yan narrowed his eyes, there are really a lot of weird things in this world: "This is a bit of a joke. Not to mention why you, a person who is afraid of heights, like to walk on stilts, let's just say that this bamboo can continue to grow after being made into stilts. Is it high?"
"Ah, that's right." Dongji nodded and gave a very nonsense reason, "Because the life on this long ring island is so leisurely, and everyone always procrastinates when doing things, so no matter what Whether it’s an animal or a plant, it will naturally become elongated.”
As a result, everyone knew the names of many animals and plants on the island, such as "Cerax-intestinal dog", "Duck--bill beast", "Apple--fruit tree", and the names of each animal. The pronunciation is very long.
Then Wendy caught the key point: "As long as you are more leisurely and procrastinate in doing things, can you grow taller?"
Xia Lulu patted Wendy's calf: "It must be because of the special geographical environment, don't believe it."
"But - yes, if you don't try - how - know." Wendy had already imagined what she would look like when she grew taller, and was dazzled by her bright future.
"It's hopeless." Xia Lulu patted her forehead and pulled Zhang Tatsuya's trouser leg to signal him to find a way to prevent Wendy from becoming like that.
Zhang Da also nodded and pointed in the direction: "Wendy, look over there."
"Huh——?" Wendy turned her head slowly.
Zhang Da also said: "That one is called Snow Leopard. It is elongated horizontally. You don't want to be like that, right?"
"Huh?? No!" Wendy immediately returned to normal.
The results are immediate.
Everyone was still chatting on the other side, and Jackie Chan wondered: "But if you stay on stilts for a year, how do you usually eat and sleep?"
"Well, it's a bit difficult. Fortunately, the trees on the island are very tall. I can sleep on the trees and eat the fruits from the trees." Dongjit said nonsensical things in an understatement.
Dongjit introduced that the residents here are nomadic and migrate every three years. The migration time is the day when the sea water recedes and the channel is exposed.
The day he stepped on the stilts last year happened to be the day of emigration. The villagers had to leave him because they couldn't find Dongjit.
We can't blame them for being ruthless, it's just that the time for the sea to ebb is limited. As a nomadic people, if we do not migrate in time, the pastures on the island will be seriously affected. By then, the livestock in the entire village will starve to death, and the people will not be much better.
Dongjit’s family left him a horse, a tent and some supplies, perhaps thinking that even if they missed it this time, as long as they persisted for a year, they would be able to catch up next year.
But what they didn't expect was that without Zhang Daye's influence, Dongjit would have to live on stilts for ten years until the Straw Hats came to get out of trouble. To a certain extent, he should be considered a very powerful old man.
But since they met, Zhang Daye and the others decided to be good guys and just send him there.
"Is this true? Thank you so much!" If possible, Dongjit would also like to reunite with his family as soon as possible. "However, the ten small islands of Changhuan Changdao belong to the same island, and there is no magnetic connection between them. …”
Sailing without magnetic guidance is dangerous.
Shark Chili said: "It doesn't matter, I can dive underwater and take everyone to sail along the channel where you migrate."
Dongjit gratefully ran home to pack his things. He saw that his tent was still there on the stilts.
"Haven't you been here for several days? You should have discovered this person a long time ago, right?" Zhang Da also said to Eagle Eye, "You didn't help either."
"It has nothing to do with me." Hawkeye didn't want to meddle in other people's business. Besides, he didn't know that the man was on stilts and couldn't get off.
"You can't say it's not related at all, right? The world's greatest swordsman and the world's greatest stilt walker." Zhang Da also wanted to laugh a little.
"You want me to chop him?"
"Don't, don't, don't...he doesn't deserve to be chopped by you, why don't you chop Tom, Tom..." Zhang Daye's eyes followed the two bamboo poles running around, and he saw a familiar figure on the top of the bamboo pole. figure.
Tom was having a great time standing on Dongjit's stilts. He was striding on it, and Carew was chasing hard below - even a super-fast duck couldn't outrun Tom on stilts.
Ye Yan was thoughtful, and it seemed that stilts were worth trying.
Hawkeye was a little doubtful of his judgment at this time. Why on earth did he think that this thing could surpass him and become the world's greatest swordsman? Did Zhang Daye give him fake wine that day?
"叏lvlv~"
Dongjit ran over on a white horse with long legs and a long neck, and introduced happily: "This is Shirley. They really kept Shirley."
"Shirley?" Zhang Da also just wanted to say, what a good name.
"Zhizhizhi..." A bat flew over, flew around Zhang Daye, and then waved its wings in front of him, keeping it suspended up and down.
"Bat?" Zhang Da also looked at the sky, "Is it daytime now?"
Hawkeye said: "It is the messenger bat of the World Government."
"Oh, the world government still keeps this thing? It's weird." Zhang Da also noticed that the bat was indeed holding a letter, "Is it looking for you?"
"No." Hawkeye said, "It's for you."
If the World Government wants to contact Shichibukai, it will either use a phone bug or send someone to issue a summons order. It will not use this. At this time, he sent the messenger bat to look for Zhang Tatsuya, and he almost guessed what was going on.
"Looking for me?" Zhang Da also felt a little uncomfortable. He shouted from a distance, "Tom! Get a bottle of disinfectant!"
Two bamboo poles came clattering from a distance. I didn't know what happened on the way. The bamboo poles fell straight down, leaving a cat-shaped hole in the ground.
Tom raised his hand tremblingly, a bottle of disinfectant sticking out of the ground.
Eagle Eye couldn't bear to look directly at it. I must have been wrong at first.
"Thank you." Zhang Da also caught the bottle and sprayed it at the bat.
The poor little bat handed the envelope to Zhang Tatsuya in a daze and flew away, almost hitting a tree.
Zhang Da also opened the envelope and looked at it for a while, then leaned back and showed the expression of an old man on the subway looking at his mobile phone: "Recruiting us to be the Shichibukai? Is the five old stars mentally broken?"
That horse is really called Shirley, I don’t know if that’s the same word in English. Anyway...ah! Shirley~
