The hammock was returned, and it was Zefa who strongly requested the return. Although Qingzhi was a little reluctant to give up, he probably felt that killing someone in his dream was really not a good idea, so he had no choice but to agree in the end.
"Don't forget it." Zhang Da also agreed to take back the hammock. Anyway, Qing Pheasant's labor force has been wasted, so it's not a loss.
Qingzhi probably felt bored, so he waved his hand and went back to his office to sleep.
Then the hammock was occupied by Tom, who had just eaten and fell asleep.
After learning about this, Warring States expressed his appreciation to Zefa. He had been worried about Sakaski's problems for a long time last time, and he didn't want anything to happen to Aokiji again.
However, Warring States still had some doubts. Where did Zhang Da get such a magical thing? According to Zefa and Qingzhi, it was just an ordinary hammock, and it was a broken hammock that had been mended. It didn't look like a technological product.
Just like the cigarettes given to Sakaski, they look ordinary but are magical in use. Is it the product of ability?
This Zhang Tatsuya's ability may not only be a simple storage of items like bags of fruits, but may also be able to give magical effects to ordinary items, but this effect is uncontrollable. Or, you can simply create items out of thin air!
If this assumption is true, then whether it is a cigarette or a hammock, the pistol that Tom used that does not need to be replaced, Jackie Chan's fire-breathing stone, Ye Yan's gong that can immobilize people... it seems that they are all There is an explanation.
Warring States pressed his temples, but he didn't know how this ability was activated and what the restrictions were... The boy was too guarded. When asked what his ability was, he refused to tell him. Is the navy so scary?
…
"The navy is not scary, but there will inevitably be undercover agents in the navy, just like Vergo."
Zhang Da, who had just returned from being called for a talk by the Warring States Period, was also educating the little lolita, "If our information is clearly known by others, it will be easy to be targeted. Remember that last time, you suffered a lot. The pirate group, right?"
The little girls nodded one after another, and even Perona, who liked to disagree with Zhang Daye, had to agree with him.
"So if you can keep your abilities secret, keep it secret. Even if you show it to others, don't explain it to others and let them guess at will. Don't introduce the effects of your ability to others in battle..."
Zhang Da also talked about a commonplace problem, and gave a few counterexamples by the way: "Tina, Binz, and Ain have this problem. Don't learn from them."
"Um...excuse me." Ai Yin raised one hand in embarrassment. Just as she was about to say hello, she heard Zhang Da talking about her, which made her neither stay nor leave, so she could only speak out in the end. remind.
"Sister Ai Yin." The little girls greeted. Wendy and Weiwei were both a little embarrassed for Zhang Daye.
However, Perona didn't mind the matter and said: "Sister Ai Yin, he is talking bad about you behind your back, use your ability to deal with him!"
Zhang Da also said embarrassedly: "Ah... I'm sorry, um, if I didn't pay attention when educating them..."
"It doesn't matter. Mr. Tatsuya is right. In order to frighten the enemy in battle, we do like to reveal our abilities. Maybe the unexpected effect will be better." Ain deliberately emphasized the word 'shock the enemy'. She said that she did it to demoralize the other party, not to show off.
"Yeah, I thought one-sidedly." Debating with her at this time was obviously not enough, so Zhang Da gave in and said, "Miss Ai Yin, why did you come here all the time?"
Ai Yin didn't dwell on this and got down to business: "Well, that's the case. Mr. Tatsuya once said that he wanted to experience my abilities. I just have free time today, so..."
"Oh~ right, right, right, I almost forgot! Come on!" Zhang Da also patted his forehead. He really wanted to experience Ai Yin's ability, and also test whether his level of domineering was high.
Ai Yin stretched out a hand: "Is it right here?"
"Right here, I'll prepare a little bit." Zhang Da also mobilized his armed domineering energy as much as possible, and then stretched out a black hand, "Come on... what are you doing?"
As soon as he looked up, he found that his companions, ranging from humans to cats to ducks, were all surrounding them, looking at Ai Yin and Zhang Daye with curiosity or expectation.
Arturia even put down her drink and watermelon and said, "Based on Tatsuya's age, if you go back twelve years, he should be only six or seven years old, right?"
"That's right!" Rui Mengmeng continued: "I'm a little curious about what the boss was like when he was a child."
"So are we!" The little girls' eyes were sparkling, and they always felt like something bad was brewing.
Shark Chili said: "I'm a little worried, will the boss Tatsuya cry when he was young, act rogue or something?"
Jackie Chan suggested: "Why don't you tell us what toys and snacks you liked when you were a child, so that we can prepare them in advance."
Ye Yan didn't say anything, just watching the excitement. Judging from his appearance, he must have some bad intentions.
"...Thank you so much for your concern." Zhang Da also sighed resignedly and confirmed to Ai Yin, "Come on."
A pink flame ignited in Ai Yin's palm and pressed on Zhang Daye's black hand: "Back up!"
"Hmm~" Zhang Da also had a strange feeling. His armor could not resist Ai Yin's ability, and his whole body quickly began to shrink, shrinking to about one meter before stopping.
The originally fitting navy uniform suddenly became a lot bigger and hung loosely on his body. His pants fell down. Fortunately, his top also fell down in time like a skirt, covering his important parts.
"Hmm~ha..." Zhang Da also finally poked his head out of his collar and looked down at his condition.
The lower half of the body was chilly, but since he was not exposed, he ignored it for now. His hands were covered by long sleeves, and he lifted them up and shook them a few times before successfully stretching them out. He looked up and saw that everyone had grown taller than him except Tom and Carew.
"It failed. I couldn't withstand it." Zhang Da was also a little disappointed, but it was expected. In addition, this scene reminded him of Conan involuntarily.
Zhang Da also tried to take a step, but found that his shoes were no longer on his feet. He tripped over the pants on the ground and fell to the ground with a plop.
"It hurts, it hurts... I seem to feel Wendy's pain." Zhang Da also got up and rubbed his forehead, feeling that his physical fitness had deteriorated a lot.
"So cute!" Zhang Daye's change caused a burst of cheers.
Rui Mengmeng, who is usually more boyish, felt that her girlish heart was awakened: "It turns out that the boss was so cute when he was a child!"
"Is this still the same black-hearted boss?" Perona showed an expression of disbelief, and then said what she used to say when she saw cute animals, "Be my pet!"
Wendy rushed forward in an exaggerated manner - and started to touch her head: "Brother Tatsuya, good boy... No, it's brother Tatsuya!"
Even Arturia couldn't help but join in the fun. She took out a small lion hood from somewhere and put it on Zhang Daye without any explanation. After looking at it carefully for a while, she nodded with satisfaction.
The younger Zhang Da was also welcomed by the girls, and Weiwei used her powers to build a sandcastle for him to play with.
As for Zhang Daye himself, he immediately learned Ye Yan's fish-eye expression.
Ai Yin saw his helpless look and asked quickly: "Do you want to cancel the ability?"
"Huh? Don't want it?" Everyone was a little reluctant. This is quite fun.
"Let's change back later. I still have some tests to do." Zhang Da also broke free from the clutches and said mature words in a childish voice, "Tom, lend me some clothes first."
He is only a little taller than Tom now, so he should be able to wear it.
Tom nodded and pulled out a red lifeguard uniform.
Zhang Da also wanted him to change his clothes, but he forgot about it. Tom didn't have many pants in his clothes, and the western denim one didn't feel very comfortable, so let's deal with it first.
However, Tom seemed to see that Zhang Da was not satisfied either. He picked up the clothes he had changed, brought a basin of water, and started washing and drying the clothes on the spot.
As a result, the wear-resistant and washable navy uniform began to shrink in front of everyone, just to the size that Zhang Daye could wear.
"You are amazing." Zhang Da also saw clothes that had shrunk so severely for the first time.
After changing his clothes again, Zhang Da also looked at himself in the mirror and felt something was wrong. His appearance seemed a little different from his childhood self. It didn't look like he had gone back in time, but like he had shrunk in proportion.
All kinds of energy in the body are still there, but the total amount has become much smaller. Zhang Da also tried the armed color Haki. It became more difficult to make his fists black. Using Haki to punch a few times will make him tired.
"Shaving!" Zhang Da also rushed out of the locker room, then fell to the ground, clutching his ankle.
"Brother Tatsuya, how are you?" Wendy quickly ran over to check.
"My foot is sprained. Although I can still perform the six poses, my body seems to be unable to hold on." Zhang Da also explained his situation, then knocked on Wendy's head and reminded, "Also, my body has only temporarily changed. I’m young, but my mental age is still there, so it feels weird to be called brother by you.”
"Did brother Tatsuya have a temper?" Wendy didn't care that she was being knocked. She reached out to touch Zhang Tatsuya's head, took out a lollipop and said with a smile, "Would you like some candy?"
Zhang Daye:......
This child must have gone crazy. He feels hopeless.
A minor injury like a sprained ankle can be cured by Wendy quickly.
A few minutes later, Zhang Da was holding a lollipop in his mouth and a long sword in his hand, trying to practice various sword skills.
He is almost used to this small body. All the abilities he had before are still there, and the physical skills have not been forgotten. However, many moves cannot be used even if they know the skills, or they cannot use the power they should have.
Ye Yan kindly offered to be Zhang Daye's sparring partner, but Zhang Daye refused verbally. He could guess what this guy wanted to do by just using his heels.
It's better to ask Uncle Long for help. At least he has a conscience.
Ai Yin has already left, because Zhang Da also doesn't plan to change back for the time being. He wants to try to exercise like this for a few days and see if he can become significantly stronger after recovering.
Anyway, maintaining this state does not require Ain to expend physical energy. Her ability is similar to the sugar that can turn people into toys. After the performance is completed, there is no need to maintain it. It does not matter if the person with the ability sleeps, as long as they do not accidentally lose consciousness.
On the first day as a child, Zhang Da also received a lot of care. For example, Wendy would help him pack food, help with laundry, and even wanted to help him wash his face. Zhang Da also stopped after he emphasized many times that he had not lost his ability to take care of himself.
Speaking of cooking, Zhang Da also found that his appetite had become smaller, and he had to give the extra food to Artoria.
Then Artoria felt that she liked the younger Tatsuya more.
…
During morning exercises the next day, Zefa discovered something was wrong: "Who is that child? Where is Zhang Daye?"
"I am Zhang Daye, Mr. Zefa." Zhang Daye's childish voice made the students in the training camp feel very strange.
"Are you...Ai Yin's ability?" Zefa suddenly thought of the reason, "Are you having a conflict?"
"No, I asked for it myself." Zhang Da also explained the unique training method he thought of.
"Can the ability of the retrograde fruit be used in this way?" Zefa looked at Ai Yin, but Ai Yin himself didn't know if it was useful.
"I don't know, let's give it a try." Zhang Da also feels that his progress is not that fast recently. Of course, it may be that the improvement in a short period of time after reaching a certain level is not as obvious as before. So I wanted to try another method. Anyway, there is nothing to lose except for the occasional shame. The bed is spacious when I sleep with Tom at night.
Then, there were a few more kids on the training ground.
There are also people among the students who are eager for success and dare to take risks. Let's try it together. If it works, the speed of training new recruits in the Navy will be greatly improved in the future.
Three more days passed like this, and Zhang Da was called to the marshal's office again.
Everyone looked at him as if they were looking at a problem student who was called away by the teacher to talk.
Little Zhang Da also knocked on the door of the marshal's office accompanied by Artoria and Tom.
Sengoku nodded to Artoria, then looked at Zhang Daye and Tom who habitually ran to feed the sheep, and asked: "Who is this child? Where is Zhang Daye?"
"Here." Zhang Daye explained, "I'm experiencing Ai Yin's ability."
"?" A question mark appeared above Seng Guo's head. He's quite good at playing. What's the experience with that ability?
He didn't pay much attention to the training camp these days. He didn't know that there was a group of children in the training camp, which was almost enough to open a kindergarten.
"That's not important." Zhang Da also sat down carelessly on the sofa that Garp usually liked. He was already familiar with this place. "Why are you looking for me? I haven't caused any trouble recently."
"That's not necessarily true. Let's take a look at this." Warring States handed him a document.
Zhang Da also held the document in both hands and read it word by word.
Warring States adjusted his glasses, but he didn't expect that this child was quite cute when he was a child.
"Dramatic Changes in the Kingdom of Lulucia"
A few days ago, the King of Lulucia Kingdom suddenly fell into a coma for unknown reasons.
The Minister of State took this opportunity to spread rumors among the people and launched a coup as public opinion became increasingly fierce.
Lancel, the captain of the king's army, clashed with him. Currently, the minister of state is in a disadvantageous position and the domestic situation is turbulent.
Zhang Da also put down the document, blinked and tried to be cute: "What does this have to do with me?"
