Pirates: The first companion is Tom Cat

Sailing is a very interesting thing, driving a small boat across the sea, shuttling between the waves...

Zhang Da was also high-spirited, facing the strong wind: "Fighting against the sky is a lot of fun!"

"You still have time to have a lot of fun there, come and help pull the schooner!" Perona struggled to pull a cable. She didn't like to work, but as long as she pulled Uncle Long out to work together, she didn't have to. She has practiced, so she made the choice easily.

But now I regret it more or less. It is not easy for Perona to adjust the schooner in such a strong wind. She is almost hanging on the cable and looks like she will be blown away by the wind at any time.

"Here we come." Zhang Da also grabbed the rope with one hand, and Perona with the other, and pulled the sail together, "Hey, don't worry about your ponytail, you slapped me in the face!"

"Who told you to carry me like this!" Perona grabbed the pink ponytail fluttering in the wind and said dissatisfiedly, "Put me down quickly."

Except for Tom who flew the kite on a whim, everyone performed their duties. The Amber sailed against the wind amidst the noise, not directly against the wind but at an angle staggered from the wind direction, moving forward in a zigzag, although at a slow speed It's a bit slow, but it's still moving forward, and it took a lot of time to leave the headwind area.

Jackie Chan's physical strength was a little unbearable, and he lay on the deck and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve: "It's too exaggerated, I thought it was a typhoon."

"The great route is like this. There are a lot of extreme weather, just get used to it..." Ye Yan lay beside Jackie Chan, raised a hand to block the sun, and asked, "What is that, a kite?"

Jackie Chan looked at it and said, "It seems to be, and it's a kite in the shape of Tom. It's well done."

"There is an ominous premonition." Ye Yan felt that the matter was not simple. After realizing that the 'kite' was getting bigger and bigger, a lazy donkey rolled away from the spot, "Move!"

"Wow! Unlucky, unlucky!" Jackie Chan's reaction was also quick, and he jumped up and ran away with a move of carp.

boom! There was a cat-shaped hollow on the deck, and there was a clanging sound from various things being knocked over.

A few seconds later, Tom poked his head out of the hole under the crowd's onlookers, with a bucket on his head.

Zhang Da also reached out to help Tom remove the bucket, and asked helplessly, "What are you playing again?"

Tom showed an apologetic smile, and Zhang Da suddenly felt something, and he hid back.

A big triangular kite fell headlong, and the sharp point hit Tom on the head.

Tom fell down again with the kite, the cabin was shaken again, and several illusory kites were flying around the hole in the deck.

No need to explain now, everyone knows what Tom was playing before. Probably because it was blown away by the strong wind while flying the kite, and then fell from a height unimaginable to ordinary people and was still alive and kicking.

"Boss, Mr. Tom was hurt by you." Rui Mengmeng took the lead in accusing Zhang Daye of cheating his teammates.

It was a bit unreasonable to do this, and Zhang Da also said cheekily: "Thinking about it, I may have learned to be knowledgeable. Tom will be happy for me when he finds out."

A phantom of Tom wearing a halo floated up from the hole, gave a thumbs up in agreement with Zhang Daye's words, and then was about to float away.

"Don't die!" Zhang Da also grabbed Tom's soul and slipped through the cat-shaped hole, pressed the soul into Tom's body, grabbed Tom's shoulder and shook vigorously.

Tom woke up in a daze, and then greeted Zhang Daye casually like a cat who had nothing to do, and began to tidy up the mess room he had messed up.

Zhang Da also felt that he would be fine even if he didn't care about Tom. Maybe he would float back after he went out for a while and found that there was no God. Even if he couldn't come back for a while, he still had nine numbered souls in his body for backup. with.

Tom was unharmed, just left a big hole in the deck and made a mess in the utility room, which was slowly repaired and tidied up.

The others left with peace of mind, training for training, playing for playing, eating and drinking, only the injured world of the Amber was achieved.

...

In the next few days, everyone experienced a series of bad weather. When they saw a sea beast that looked like a beckoning cat on the sea, Zhang Da also knew that Alabasta was very close.

The huge sea cat raised its right paw and looked at the Amber with a cute face, as if saying hello.

Artoria swallowed, and the long sword in her hand was about to move.

Under normal circumstances, Tom, who should have taken out his knife and fork and started drooling, hugged Artoria's leg, not wanting her to do it.

Arturia asked suspiciously, "Tom? It's a sea beast I've never seen before. It looks delicious."

Tom showed a pitiful expression, and Xia Lulu also stood in front of Artoria: "Tom probably wants to say not to eat cats, right? Actually, I would feel a little weird talking about eating sea cats."

Artoria looked at Tom inquiringly, seeing him nodding, she had to put away her sword regretfully: "Forget it, I'll grab something else to eat next time."

The sky and the earth are big, and the chef is the biggest. At least in this case, Arturia is a good king who is very good at taking advice.

"There's a very thick fog ahead..." Wendy said with some doubts, "This doesn't feel like foggy weather, but it's more like hot steam, so strange."

"Don't rush in, I'll go take a look underwater." For unknown reasons, Shark Pepper is more cautious.

After a while, Shark Pepper poked his head out of the water again: "I'm so hot, there is a group of submarine volcanoes below, where the sea water is boiled and the steam comes out, Wendy feels right, it's not at all. What fog."

"It's a volcano again? I seem to have a good relationship with volcanoes recently." Zhang Da also thought of several active volcanoes in the small garden.

"I think it's better to go around. Undersea volcanoes sound very dangerous." Jackie Chan felt that he should be more stable.

"Secondly, I don't want to experience the incident of being forcibly sent to the island by volcanoes, ocean currents and other things." Ye Yan still remembers the last time he was suddenly sent to the sky with a boat on Zhenshou Island. With good luck, and with the Chaos Beast tricked, it's hard to say what will happen to the ship.

Speaking of that incident, the few people who experienced it felt sorry for it and immediately voted for it.

The Amber began to turn, circled in a big circle, and continued to sail for a certain distance before finally seeing the port city of Alabasta, Nahana.

Rui Mengmeng heard the noise from a distance, and said, "The port seems to be quite lively?"

"I'll go and see!" Perona excitedly let her spirit body float out to investigate, and her body limply fell into Wendy's arms.

Investigating means you can go out to play, and practice kung fu can be postponed for a while. You don't need to listen to Uncle Long's nagging during the period. It's great to have the ability to use for investigation!

"Hehehehehe~" Perona floated back after a while, "I'm back!"

Zhang Da also saw through her small thoughts, nodded and said: "Well, I came back in time, the Amber is almost docking."

Perona said unconvinced: "What does that look mean? I came back so late because I went out to help others!"

"Oh?" Zhang Da also asked, "How can you help others?"

"There's a group of pirates making trouble at the port, and the soldiers of this country are fighting them, so I'll help out!" Perona said with her arms crossed and her face turned, "Is there anything wrong with that?"

Zhang Da never wanted face in front of Tsundere, and he said happily: "No, no, I was wrong, you did a good job, you are worthy of being Princess Mononoke!"

"Hmph!" Perona put her arms around her arms, expressing that she didn't want to talk to Zhang Da who had wronged him now, but her expression became much happier.

Zhang Da also thought about it: "How about doubling the pocket money in a while?"

Perona made a breakthrough in a second: "This is what you said, don't go back on your word!"

"Let Wendy and Xia Lulu testify for you."

Perona nodded happily.

Xia Lulu sighed like a little adult: "It feels so easy to buy Perona."

Wendy smiled helplessly.

...

"Crazy!"

A high-pitched and powerful cry sounded from the sky, and the soldiers who were still struggling with the pirates raised their heads one after another.

I saw a huge falcon hovering and descending from the sky, turning into a tall young man. He was wearing a white robe, with a long sword on his waist, and a lavender scarf decorated with black four-pointed stars. The facial lines like tear stains are painted on it. It is one of the two patron saints of Alabasta, Bell the Falcon.

"Lord Bell!" When the soldiers saw Bell, they all stepped forward with reverence on their faces. This lord is known as the strongest fighter in the Kingdom of Alabasta, and he is one of the people they most yearn for.

"As soon as I received the alarm that the port was being attacked, I immediately rushed over from the capital." Bell looked around the situation, "I didn't expect it to be over, thank you for your hard work."

The soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay, and the last captain stepped forward with some shame and said, "No, Lord Bell, in fact, most of the pirates were not defeated by us."

"Huh?" Bell frowned slightly, "Crocodile again?"

This kind of thing happened more than once. After the pirates landed, the soldiers of the king's army fell into a hard fight, and then Crocodile descended from the sky, killing all the pirates with a wave of his hands.

Sometimes even if Bell rushed to the scene as fast as possible, it was too late to deal with all the enemies before Crocodile.

As a result, although the residents of Nahana are grateful for the king's army who is desperately protecting them, they worship Crocodile who always appears like a hero and easily solves the enemy.

What's worse, in order to demonstrate the correctness of the Shichibukai system, the world government always instructs the news agency to exaggerate Crocodile's deeds, making residents in other parts of Alabasta gradually start to worship Crocodile.

Bell is deeply ashamed that he is regarded as a hero even though he is a pirate, and the people who should be protected by him are always better protected by Crocodile.

But whenever he reported this matter, King Cobra didn't care about it. He was a king with an overly broad mind, and he always said, "As long as the people are not harmed, it will be fine. Pirates don't matter'.

Bell deeply admired such a king, but he always felt that something was wrong.

Limited by his vision and political level, Bell couldn't figure it out at all, so he could only quietly increase the amount of training in private. He felt that as a fighter, he just needed to become stronger, right?

Until a few days ago, Alabasta received a contact from the navy, saying that someone had captured a large number of agents of the Baroque Work Agency. According to the results of the interrogation, the mastermind behind the Baroque Work Agency is very likely to be hiding in Alabasta, so I hope to send A mid-term undercover investigation in Alabasta.

Later, when I contacted the lieutenant general, I heard the meaning revealed in the other party's words, and it was clear that he was suspicious of Crocodile!

Crocodile wants to usurp the throne and build a so-called Utopia? In this way, his behavior of continuously gaining popular popularity seems to make sense!

Bell suddenly realized that he was so angry that he immediately wanted to lead a team to arrest Crocodile.

It's a pity that neither the navy nor the king has any definite evidence. If you rashly attack Shichibukai, it is tantamount to provoking the world government, so they can't act rashly. Exchange information so that further actions can be determined.

Now the vice admiral has quietly led people to the capital, and is conducting investigations with the jackal Gaka, and Bell, who is not very good at this aspect, has no choice but to choose other aspects to contribute.

For example, if you hear about a pirate attack, go there immediately, and you can't let Crocodile gain more reputation.

But, was Crocodile still ahead of him today? Bell was a little reconciled.

But the soldier's next answer made him feel a lot easier.

"No, Lord Bell, Crocodile didn't show up today." The soldier said, "It's these pirates who suddenly became... very depressed, even so depressed that they couldn't resist at all."

Bell pressed: "Depression? What do you mean?"

The soldier didn't know how to describe it, so he just knelt down on the ground, lowered his head and put his hands on the ground: "My life is as humble as a grain of sand... If there is an afterlife, let me be a bedbug..."

Bell was stunned, what is this for?

The controlled pirates gritted their teeth, while the other soldiers of the king's army laughed secretly, and some admired his courage.

After recreating the scene for Bell himself, the upright soldier stood up and said with a blushing face, "It's almost like this. The pirates suddenly became like this. The reason is probably... "

"Ah, that's the one!" The soldier pointed to a little ghost not far away, "It became like that after being hit by the ghosts."

"Ghost?" Bell approached the passive ghost and observed it curiously. With a translucent white body, a long tongue, and thick red lips, it looked inexplicably cute.

"Be careful, Lord Bell!" The soldier reminded, "If you accidentally bump into it..."

"It doesn't matter, since it only attacks pirates and ignores you, it probably has no ill intentions toward us." For some reason, Bell always felt that this ghost looked familiar.
