Pirates: The first companion is Tom Cat

Artoria did not struggle with this issue for too long. She knew that Zhang Daya just wanted to make the journey less troublesome. She doesn't need to worry about whether the soldiers of this kingdom are corrupt or honest.

The person who is most worried about the team right now is Zhang Daye:

"Tom, remember to pay when you take other people's things!"

"Sexy skeleton, stay away from us after teasing a beautiful woman! Others look at us strangely!"

"Perona, why are you trying to scare him... Huh? A marshmallow costs 8,000 beli? Flatten him!"

It wasn't as if he would take action, but Brooke cooperated with Perona's little ghost to pretend to be an evil spirit, which scared the profiteer into tremblingly and quoted the normal price.

It is impossible to quote the cost price. People can be killed by evil spirits, but the money that should be earned must be earned.

The profiteer put away the banknotes tremblingly and received admiring looks from his neighbors.

Arturia licked the marshmallow in small mouths, and the sweet taste on her tongue made her mood improve a lot.

Ignoring Shark Chili's instruction to 'wash your mouth after eating candy', Arturia enjoyed the delicious food while observing the surrounding shops. As the marshmallows gradually became less and less, her green eyes gradually brightened.

Then Zhang Tatsuya's clothes were grabbed by Artoria: "Tatsuya, that store looks good."

Zhang Da also raised his head and glanced at the restaurant's sign, feeling that his wallet was about to bleed again, but isn't this why he makes money? Zhang Da also called his companions to the restaurant: "It's time to eat, it's time to eat!"

Everyone poured into the restaurant, and Zhang Da also used the classic elimination method to order, which made the restaurant owner smile from ear to ear.

The generous look on his face during the checkout was even more shining in the eyes of the boss. The last time I ate so much at his place, it was three brats who sneaked in pretending to be adults, and in the end... they didn't pay.

The boss felt distressed for half a month before he recovered. Fortunately, the customer this time was not that rogue.

Facts have proved that the level of the chef's cooking skills is not affected by the sea area where he is located. Judging from Zhang Da's experience of eating all over Xiangbodi, the level of the chefs here is also very high - of course the price of the dishes is too.

Before leaving, Zhang Daye asked: "Boss, is there a bookstore here, or other places where I can buy nautical charts?"

The boss replied: "Yes, after you go out, turn left and there is a bookstore less than a kilometer away. However, the bookstore on Zhongchen Street is a bit smaller. If you want detailed nautical charts, you can go to the one in Gaozhen."

After all, Gao Town is the territory of the nobles, and the demand for books is higher there.

Zhang Da also asked: "Can we tourists go in and out of Gao Town?"

"It's okay, as long as you don't approach the palace casually."

"Thank you very much."

"Come again next time~" the restaurant owner said reluctantly.

After leaving the restaurant, everyone did not rush to Gao Town, but divided into two groups. Rui Mengmeng took Perona, Wendy and Xia Lulu to buy clothes. There were still too few choices in Shuangyue Village.

Ye Yan followed Zhang Daye's suggestion and asked why, because he knew more about women's clothing than many girls... Mainly because he felt that Rui Mengmeng and the others were too naive and weak, so he asked Ye Yan to take care of them.

Zhang Daye and Shark Chili were going to the bookstore to buy nautical charts, so they took Tom with them out of habit. Zhang Daye also easily turned Tom's head back from following Xia Lulu.

Arturia wanted to unlock the secret of the treasure map, so she decided to find the information together.

Brooke wanted to follow the other side but was forced back by Zhang Daye. He was afraid that the perverted skeleton would peek into the fitting room.

After walking slowly along the street for a while, Artoria suddenly stopped: "Tatsuya, there are a few people who have been following us since the port. They were waiting outside the restaurant even when we were eating. , it shouldn’t be a coincidence.”

"Follow us? Do you want to rob?" Zhang Da also stopped and turned around to look. Sure enough, there were several people following him sneakily. One was lean and the other four were ordinary and unremarkable.

Brooke held the cane sword: "Hey, ho, ho, ho, what are you trying to rob, Fatty?"

Zhang Da also said with disgust: "Only a pervert like you would rob something like that."

The lean man and Zhang Da also looked at each other, pretending to look away casually, looking up and whistling.

A few seconds later, he took a sneak peek and found that Zhang Da was still staring at him, and then walked out awkwardly: "Hello, I'm Lyle. I do some small business here in the capital. Nice to meet you."

Four other people also came out and stood behind Lyle, looking like his followers.

Zhang Da was also unhappy to meet him and asked directly: "Why are you following us?"

Lyle rubbed his hands together expectantly: "Well, I actually overheard that you are from the Grand Line when I was at the port, so I wanted to come and talk about cooperation. I just saw that you were in good spirits for fun, so I didn't dare to disturb you rashly."

Then we have to thank you for not bothering us? Zhang Da also felt that this person was probably a profiteer, and asked doubtfully: "Cooperation?"

"Yes, you may not know much about it. The Great Route is like a legend to the East China Sea. If you can get the specialties in it..." The Bailey symbol almost appeared in Lyle's eyes. If you can get the Great Route, He made a lot of money from the shipping cargo.

"I don't know if you carry anything from the Grand Line on your ship. No matter what it is, just leave it to me and I will definitely get a price that satisfies you!"

It turned out that he wanted to play with rare goods and live in them. This guy is quite keen on business opportunities. Zhang Da also understood his purpose and refused: "Sorry, we don't have any goods worth selling."

If I have to say it, there is actually a lot of wine from the Chambord Zone on the ship. The people on the ship are either underage or don't like to drink. They said they want to open a seaside tavern, but they only invited the old judge of the judicial ship to drink once. Others have been preserved to this day.

But there is no shortage of money now, so Zhang Da doesn't want to sell wine. Besides, even if he wants to sell wine, he can't sell it to this guy who can be seen as a profiteer at a glance.

"No, no, no, you didn't understand what I meant." Lyle hurriedly explained, "You don't need to take out anything precious, just ordinary daily necessities, to be rude, even the clothes you have worn. , just give it to me, they are also clothes from the Grand Line!"

"Hiss~" Zhang Daye gasped, this guy is a talent, he knows gimmicks.

Zhang Daye said seriously: "Brook!"

Brooke rubbed his cane and sword and prepared to drive people away: "Do you need my help?"

Zhang Da also said: "Sell him your fatness!"

"Really...huh?" Brooke looked horrified, "No, Mr. Tatsuya! This kind of thing is disgusting!"

Zhang Daye said in surprise: "Huh? You actually feel sick? Don't you talk about being fat all day long?"

Brooke argued: "I just want to see beautiful women, and I don't want to give mine to others! And it's a man!"

Lyle and four of his men waved at the side: "No, no, even if you want to give it to us, we don't want it."

Zhang Da also said to Lyle: "You have also heard that even the most perverted among us doesn't want to sell our belongings to you. Let's forget it. We are also very busy. Goodbye."

As Zhang Daye said, they were about to turn around and leave, but two of Lyle's men trotted around and blocked their way.

"I'm afraid it's not that easy to leave like this." Lyle said with a smile.

Zhang Da also turned around and pointed at the pedestrians on the street who were talking and preparing to watch the excitement: "Is it okay to do it in front of so many people?"

"As long as there are enough Baileys or the law enforcement team doesn't see them, it will be fine." Lyle was confident.

He didn't follow this group for nothing. According to his observation, the most capable person in this group was the woman with the black sword on her back. She just happened to leave with the child, and these few in front of him - thin Boys, girls, cats, skeletons and robots, what kind of fighting power can these have?

The robot looks very docile, maybe it is played by a real person.

That skeleton man just looks scary and scares people, but after scaring people, he even wants to pay for the marshmallows! He definitely has no real ability.

So Lyle came to the conclusion that none of these people can fight now, so since they can't reach an agreement, they should resort to violence!

Zhang Da also suddenly realized: "It turns out that as long as you are not seen by the law enforcement team, it will be fine. Thank you for your advice."

"Are you scared out of your wits? Teach them a lesson!" Lyle waved his hand, and four of his men swarmed forward.

Three seconds later.

"I'm sorry! Please forgive our offense!"*5

Five people with bruises and swollen faces knelt in a row and apologized prostrately.

To be honest, they didn't even see clearly how they lost. They felt that as soon as they stretched out their hands, they were immediately pushed to the ground and beaten. No, it might even be beaten by a cat. It should be an illusion.

What Lyle can't figure out is that if you are so strong, why are you still so abiding by the law? Why does Mao still talk about worldliness? As for the patrol captain at the port, is he worthy of accepting bribes from you?

"What just happened?" The onlookers were also dumbfounded. I just took out the melon seeds and you ended it? What about the promised fierce battle?

"Go away." Zhang Da didn't want to talk nonsense with these people. After giving him a lesson, he left with his companions, and the onlookers made way.

"Boss Lyle, what should we do next?" a subordinate asked.

"What else can I do? Go to the hospital!" Lyle touched his swollen face and grinned in pain.

…

The small episode did not affect Zhang Daye's mood. While eating and drinking, they found the first bookstore mentioned by the restaurant owner.

The bookstore is not a big one. The bookcases inside are neat and tidy. It is difficult for two people to sit side by side in the space between the bookcases. Fortunately, there are not many people in the store. There are only a few children looking through some illustrated books in the corner.

The boss is a middle-aged man wearing glasses, who probably has a good temper. He has no intention of driving the children away. He just sits quietly at the front desk and reads today's newspaper.

When Zhang Daye and the others approached the store, the bookstore owner only raised his eyes for a moment and then lowered his head to read the newspaper again.

A few seconds later, the boss rubbed his eyes and looked back. Wasn't he dazzled? An animated skeleton reading a book in his shop? What should I do, should I call the law enforcement team or call a ghost exorcist?

Zhang Daye and the others didn't pay attention to the boss's gaze, and went to find the geographical categories to find the books they wanted.

Illustrated guide to islands in the East China Sea? It should be useful, take it.

Sea legend? Maybe there's a clue, take it.

Common knowledge about the East China Sea climate? It should be useful, take it away.

…

I selected more than twenty books of various kinds and took them to the front desk to check out.

The boss mechanically collected the money, put the book into a bag and handed it to Zhang Daye, and then said with some hesitation: "Excuse me..."

His eyes flickered between Brooke and Shark Pepper.

"I am a robot, he is a skeleton, from the Grand Line." Shark Pepper said, he felt that it would be easier to blame everything on the Grand Line.

"The Grand Line..." The boss showed his original expression, probably making up something on his own without permission.

However, the children who were originally in the bookstore rushed over excitedly when they heard Shark Pepper's words: "Robot! It's really a robot!"

Shark Chili smiled and posed several poses for the children. When asked to transform, Shark Chili shied away and said that he would only shout the slogan "Super Transformation" when he encountered bad guys and transform into a superhero to protect the people.

Such a handsome setting easily gained the admiration of children. In fact, he wanted to save his precious transformation time to practice fish-man karate.

Several children put down their books and discussed playing a game of transforming themselves into superheroes, arguing over who would play the hero.

Although the royal family and nobles are not that good, there are many commoners and children who are quite good? Zhang Da also thought of Zefa. He seemed to have wanted to be Hero Z since he was a child. He didn't know what his current situation was like.

"Mr. Tatsuya, are you going to another bookstore next?"

Zhang Da also nodded and said: "Let's go and have a look. It's still early, so we can just go and see what the noble area is like. We'll meet them later."

Gao Town is really very high, and you have to climb several floors to get up. After walking around for so long, Tom didn't want to leave, let alone go up the steps, so he just hung on Zhang Daye's shoulder as a pendant.

Everyone arrived at Gao Town smoothly, and there was no one guarding the entrance. Only patrols occasionally passed by when walking on the street. Seeing that Artoria's temperament did not look like ordinary people, they did not question her.

As for Zhang Daye, who is holding a book in his hand and a cat on his shoulder, although this weight is nothing to him, his temperament is not an issue. Most people passing by will regard him as Artoli. Elegant entourage.

Most of the buildings in Gao Town are domed castles, which are very different from the ordinary residential buildings on Central Street. Perhaps being different is also a reflection of nobility.

Everyone looked at it with curiosity. It was obviously not as lively as the Central Street below. The style of various shops was also more luxurious. The people who opened the shops here were probably not ordinary people.

Tom looked at the passers-by hesitantly. He had seen the clothes worn by those nobles when he was a guard for the king. There was nothing new about them. And why were these people so ugly?

A young man who was classified as ugly by Tom adjusted his collar and asked Artoria: "Hello, this beautiful lady, I am the eldest son of the Ansetli family, Ansetli Fao, Can I ask for your name?”

Tom on Zhang Daye's shoulder raised his eyes and looked at the person blocking Artoria. Not only was this person ugly, but he also had no self-awareness.
