"Ah...this is really good stuff!" Garp held a box of senbei given to him by Zhang Daye, tore open the package and ate it on the spot.
"Thank you for your trouble." Warring States and Zefa also accepted the "bribe".
Zhang Da also brought out a specially prepared small gift in order to ease the awkward atmosphere.
…
Gion, Kaki, Hushaoyama, Stoloberg, Kizaru, Aokiji, and other generals who were either familiar with each other or had only a one-time acquaintance also brought some tobacco, wine, tea and sugar. In view of the fact that many people None of them were at the headquarters. Zhang Da also put a note on the outside of the gift box and asked Zefa to help deliver it.
Some of the gifts were purchased in Shampoo these days, such as rice cake slices for the Warring States Period, senbei for Garp, and sherry for Zefa.
Some were brought from the East China Sea or the islands of the Grand Line during the journey. For example, the tea given to Lieutenant General Tsuru came from Puqi Island near the Seven Waters Capital, and the perfume given to Lieutenant General Gion came from Naha, the port capital of Alabasta. That.
It actually didn't cost much to add one piece. He didn't have any other intention anyway, it was just a small thing. It was fun and a bit embarrassing.
This matter was first brought up by Shark Chili, and he was very considerate.
Tom watched Zhang Daye give gifts the whole time, always feeling that there was something disharmonious. He thought for a while, took out a small bundle of grass from somewhere, and placed it in front of the lamb beside Seng Guo's desk.
The lamb rubbed Tom's cheek in emotion. It could finally eat the food that normal sheep eat. Since joining the Warring States Period, it has been eating some confidential documents that need to be destroyed every day. It has almost forgotten what grass tastes like. , it’s not a shredder!
Arturia looked thoughtfully at Tom's feeding movements. The sheep was indeed a little smaller and thinner.
The lamb happily grazed with its head down, without any consciousness of being targeted by an apex predator.
While listening to Zhang Daye talking about the origin of various gifts, Warring States carefully observed everyone in the Amber Tour Group: some listened to their chat attentively and occasionally interjected a few words; some shared with Garp at the invitation After looking around his office, some were so bored that they yawned; others stared directly at his lamb, feeling like they were planning some bad idea...
They seem to be a group of people who are easy to understand, and their thoughts are basically written on their faces. At least they don't look like scheming villains.
"Then the gossip ends here." Warring States' expression became serious, "I have some questions I would like to ask."
Zhang Da didn't know the reason for the change in Warring States' tone, so he said curiously, "Just say it."
"To be honest, we have investigated you before." Warring States said straight to the point, "But except for Princess Weiwei and this little girl named Perona, we can't find out the origins of anyone."
"Even you, who has the longest resume, can only trace it back to May of last year, which is one year and two months ago. And in more than a year, members of the Amber Tour Group appeared one after another. Around you, these people may be powerful or have strange abilities, but their origins are unknown..."
Warring States looked into Zhang Tatsuya's eyes, and the lenses seemed to be shining with white light: "Is this really a coincidence? Where...are you from?"
The atmosphere in the office suddenly became solemn, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, and the children were too nervous to make a sound - if Garp hadn't been eating senbei at this time.
Warring States glanced at this atmosphere destroyer, but as expected, it had no effect.
Zhang Daye thought for a moment and said, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Zhang Daye, from Jiangcheng."
"As for them, they are from Britain, Juxia City, Tokyo, Bozhou, Fiore Kingdom, and Xinxiang respectively." Zhang Daye pointed to the others one by one and introduced, "Tom... can be considered from Xinxiang for the time being."
"The biggest problem is that we can't find the specific locations of these places now. In other words, we should be considered homeless in this world. If you can find out my hometown, I will be very grateful. "
Zhang Daye said it sincerely. Although he lives a good life here and has made new friends, sometimes he inevitably misses the land where he was born and grew up. It's hard to say whether he can adapt to life there again, but he can be sure that his feelings are genuine.
Warring States paid attention to everyone's expressions, and based on his feeling, Zhang Daye was telling the truth, but... it was as if he hadn't said anything.
There was little use in asking for such a long list of place names. He had never heard of any of these places. Although he cannot understand all the islands and countries in the world, it is unlikely that he has never heard of the hometowns of so many powerful people, right?
The only thing that pleased him was that Zhang Daye was willing to tell him this without reservation, so at least these places shouldn't be lawless or rebellious places, right?
And in this great sea route where the sea currents and climate are messy, it is quite normal to not be able to find the way home after going out to sea...
"Then let's put the issue of origin aside for now." Warring States said, "So, you are looking for your hometown, so you want to travel around the world?"
This is a good reason! Zhang Da also almost nodded, but they did not collude in advance, and this was not something that needed to be demonstrated. He said calmly: "No, the purpose of our trip is to travel."
"Huh?" This answer was a bit beyond Sengoku's expectations. He couldn't find his home. Was he traveling just for the sake of traveling? You have a big heart.
"If we have to say we have some purpose, we all have our own interests and hobbies. Some people like to collect art, and some want to find the legendary ALL-BLUE."
Zhang Da also suddenly remembered one of the reasons why he came to the Navy Headquarters: "Speaking of this, do you know the Boeing Islands? We want to go there. Also, do you know how to get to the empty islands in a safer way? Are there any on the empty islands? What attractions can’t be missed?”
Artoria's eyes shone, and the others looked at Sengoku expectantly.
What we are talking about now is related to the attitude of the navy and the world government towards you in the future. Can you be more serious? Are you asking me about travel tips? !
Warring States had a headache. Either these people really didn't understand the meaning of this conversation, or they were so nervous that they didn't feel nervous at all: "We'll talk about this later. After all, your goal is to simply travel, right?"
"That's right." Zhang Da also nodded, worried that the Warring States Period would make too much of the trouble they caused, so he took the initiative to add, "You probably know the things we encountered during the trip. Basically, it was all trouble that came to us and caught the sea. Thieves just make some pocket money, and occasionally taking down some criminals is considered a act of righteousness. This is what we, enthusiastic citizens, should do."
So when you deal with Moria, do you classify it as a sign of trouble, or do you classify it as a act of righteousness? Would a concerned citizen take out a Shichibukai on the sly?
Judging from their style, there is no need to ask questions such as stance. It is certain that they hate pirates, but since they can be friends with Jinbei and turn a blind eye to Rayleigh for so long in Shampoo, it shows that they are not extreme. character.
Judging from what happened with Moria and Crocodile, they probably don't have much respect for the World Government, and they just like to avoid trouble as much as possible. But judging from the Golden Lion incident, in order to protect civilians, they actively chose to get involved in trouble, which shows that they are kind-hearted in nature.
If any Shichibukai offends them in the future, they will most likely choose to kill him quietly, and then get an alibi or find out some evidence of crime, and then kill him openly.
Warring States already had a general understanding of Zhang Daye's behavior pattern. What bothered him the most was that, according to his inference, if people from the World Government came to trouble them, these people would probably not be lenient, even if they were ...Nobles of the world.
Then the next thing he has to do is to try his best to avoid the worst thing from happening, especially to prevent the Five Old Stars from issuing any more strange orders.
Today's conversation also needs to be written down and submitted in a report, but such a group of powerful people gathered together 'simply for traveling'. He was afraid that Wulaoxing wouldn't believe this reason, and this report gave him a headache.
In addition, just in case, he will discuss with Zefa about the internship location of the training camp, and try his best to avoid those Tianlong people.
"That's all I want to ask." Warring States had almost sorted out his thoughts. "As for your questions, I will open some low-level confidentiality charts to you. If there are any islands you are interested in, go check them out yourself."
Zhang Daye and the others became happy. They visited bookstores almost every time they went to an island. Unfortunately, nautical charts were really difficult to collect. It would be best for Sengoku to provide some information directly. After he has visited the islands where he provided information, he can think of other ways.
"I want to remind you about Sky Island," Warring States said. "There is indeed a 'safe' route to Sky Island, but that route has a so-called survival probability. If a hundred people go up there, only the ones who can survive will be Several people."
"And this 'survival probability' is not necessarily related to strength. This is one of the reasons why the world government has not placed the sky island under its jurisdiction - the cost is too high."
"Why is this?" Zhang Daye asked, "Is there something wrong with that route? Is it a sea monster? Bad weather? Or what?"
"I don't know. Maybe it's a sudden disease, maybe there's some toxin, or it's an environment that only a few people can adapt to. There are too many unsolved mysteries in this sea." Warring States said in a heavy tone, "When I tried The soldier who luckily came back from exploring the road couldn't explain why. He just saw his companions fall one by one, and even the major general who led the team was not spared."
Zhang Da also frowned, trying to recall useful plots or information.
Tom was extremely frightened when he heard what Sengoku said. He had already imagined the scene where everyone flew into the sky on the Amber, but everyone fell to the ground one by one, and he could not wake up.
The others, too, saw Tom's vivid imagination, and had various expressions on their faces.
Perona said weakly: "How about we not go to Sky Island?"
Weiwei was also frightened by such a scene. She is very adventurous and still remains curious, but she will not encourage everyone to accompany her on adventures just because of her curiosity. She will just wait silently for others to make a decision.
Xia Lulu said more rationally: "If there is only danger, it's okay, just find a way to deal with it. But if there is no way to determine the source of the danger, wouldn't it be better to do more investigations?"
She was a little regretful that she couldn't control her precognition magic, otherwise she might be able to find some clues with the help of precognition.
"Then let's think about it again." Zhang Da also followed suit. If he had to face unknown dangers, it would be better to rely on the soaring sea currents. It's just that you need to make more preparations for that road, for example - set a small goal and let all members learn the moon step during the training camp!
"Thank you for the reminder. In return, I will give you a reminder." Zhang Daye said, "If you have time to investigate us, why not first investigate the moles in the navy."
Warring States asked: "What does this mean?"
Zhang Da also said: "Commodore Vergo, who is currently stationed on Gaya Island and is responsible for establishing the naval base, is most likely an undercover agent placed in the navy by Doflamingo."
"What?" Warring States and Zefa were both surprised. The rank of brigadier general was already high enough for him to have access to a lot of important information.
Recalling that Lieutenant General He's previous attempts to arrest Doflamingo failed many times, Sengoku had to pay attention: "Is there any basis for this?"
"If I have to say it, it should be intuition, right?" Zhang Daye compiled, "We once captured Diamanti, who was under Doflamingo, and Vergo had a smell similar to his. I should say a foul smell. .”
"I can't investigate a brigadier general just because of your 'intuition'." Warring States actually believed most of it. Intuition sounds very mysterious, but Warring States knows that it is real. Some people's intuition is naturally very accurate, and they can rely on instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages like wild beasts. If you insist on saying so, such an ability can actually be classified as knowledge. The color is domineering.
"I will not slander a naval general for nothing, not to mention that I have discussed with him and learned something from him." Zhang Daye said, "Why don't you think carefully about the relationship between Virgo and Dover after he joined the navy? Let’s see if there’s anything strange about the incident related to Lang Mingge.”
Of course there is.
When it comes to events related to Doflamingo, the first thing that Sengoku thinks of is the Mignon Island incident in the North Sea, or the surgery fruit incident.
The adopted son of the Warring States Period, Rocinante (Corazon), encountered an accident in that incident. Coincidentally, Virgo was among the navy that went to Mignon Island to support him!
If he was really an undercover agent... Zeng Guo clenched his fists.
"Anyway, I'm just reminding you that it's up to you whether you want to investigate or not." Zhang Daye said, "If you really want to investigate, remember to send someone reliable, especially don't let Smoker know about it. I feel like that guy will directly He went up to confront him and was beaten to death."
"I will find a way to verify it, and please keep it a secret for the time being." Warring States said, "Zefa, please take them to arrange accommodation and other matters first."
Everyone walked out of the office, and Ye Yan whispered to Zhang Daye quietly: "I tell you, did you give him eye drops because Vergo hit you too hard that day?"
Zhang Daye:? ? ?
Am I such a narrow-minded person?
To add a little useless One Piece knowledge - Zefa likes sherry.
Imagine Zefa chugged down half a bottle of wine, and then let out a long breath: "Ah~ Shirley~"
Let's also buy a copy of "Teacher of Ninja School, I can become stronger if I teach"
