Pirates: The first companion is Tom Cat

"Special food for the navy. I heard that the process has been improved recently. It's very fragrant and crispy."

Sengoku has a special liking for rice cake slices, and his expression seems to say that if you don't believe it, try a piece to see if it's crispy.

"Then try it."

Zhang Da also took a piece and chewed it in his mouth. It was indeed a bit crispy.

"How about it?"

"I ate it too fast and didn't taste it."

"Haha, don't worry, come more."

"Okay." Click.

"What about this time?"

"When you ask this, I don't know how to describe it. I'll try it again."

"..."

The number of rice cake slices in a bag decreased rapidly, and Warring States guarded the mouth of the bag: "Did you not taste it, or were you not full?"

"Stingy, you didn't even give me a pack of snacks." Zhang Da also withdrew his hand and poured himself a cup of tea, "It seems like you didn't call me here just to treat me to something to eat."

"That's right." Warring States started eating by himself, "I just want to ask you what your plans are next."

"Next? Let's continue traveling."

"Just keep traveling?"

"Otherwise? Replace big mom and occupy Totland, and then become big dad?"

"It would be great if you don't want to do this." This is what Sengoku is worried about.

"Don't look like you're going to cause trouble." Zhang Daye said innocently, "I don't plan to make any big news recently, and I don't plan to fight those Shichibukai."

Co-author You have a pretty clear understanding of yourself. Warring States looked at him: "How long do you plan to stay in Totland?"

"A month or two. There are more than 30 interesting islands here. It would take more than a month to visit each one for a day."

Zhang Da also plans to stay here for a while. After a big battle, everyone needs to relax and exercise for a while.

"That'll be easy to handle. Regarding the bounty, I think..."

Zhang Da was also alert: "You don't want to default on your debt, do you?"

"Of course not, it's just such a big expenditure, we need time to prepare." Warring States also didn't expect that the five would come up with the 'good idea' of deducting bounties from next year's military expenditures, and they were caught off guard. .

Originally, he planned to take advantage of this great victory to recruit some good talents from all over the world to further enhance the navy's strength.

With such a commotion, many plans need to be revised. The elimination and replacement of warships and weapons, and the number of new recruits must all be controlled.

A lot of troubles made him want to start a side job.

Zhang Da didn't know his difficulty: "As long as we don't default on the debt, it's okay to pay it off before we leave Totland, right?"

"I'll try my best in a month or two." Warring States nodded and turned to the next topic, "Did you evacuate the treasure house in the Cake Castle?"

"?" Zhang Da also looked at him, "You don't need to report this little loot to the navy, right?"

"Of course it's not necessary if it's an ordinary trophy. I'm asking about a kind of stone, a square stone with words engraved on it." Warring States was convinced that Big Mom should have a historical text in his hand.

"I'm not interested in stones." Zhang Daye said, "I have seen square cakes with words engraved on them. They are quite delicious."

"Are you really not interested?"

"I'm really not interested. That thing has nothing to do with me." Zhang Daye said, "If you are willing to tell me what is recorded in that thing, I can also listen to it as a story."

"How could I know such a thing?" Warring States raised his head, poured all the remaining rice cake slices into his mouth, stood up and led the lamb away, "That's it, the bounty will be cashed in as soon as possible."

After the war, not all Totland's navy was withdrawn, and the Sengoku stayed here longer than expected.

Zhang Da also observed the navy's actions for a few days and found that they were just like on an ordinary island, training and patrolling every day.

Recently, there have been many pirate groups who came here to pick up some bargains, but all of them were picked up by the navy.

The residents of Totland were in panic for several days after hearing the news of Big Mom's death. Many people were afraid to even leave their homes.

But they still have to live, and they can't live on living in their own house forever.

So residents began to walk out of their homes one after another and found that their lives were no different from before. They could even go to the navy for help when they encountered trouble.

So the sailors and warships that originally made them feel uneasy are now slowly becoming a source of security.

Even the Homies living here are treated as ordinary lives as long as they have no weapons and do not attack the navy.

Their thinking is relatively simple. Some are clamoring to avenge their mothers and throw themselves into the trap, while others decide to cherish the few lives they have left.

Zhang Da also suspected that the Warring States Period wanted to follow the example of Gaya Island, first gaining recognition from the residents, and then establishing a naval base.

It's just that the situation in Totland is far more complicated than that on Gaya Island, so Sengoku personally took charge here.

What Zhang Da didn't know was that the Warring States Period was blocked by Wulaoxing, so he considered other ways to generate income on his own.

It’s hard not to be tempted by Totland’s wealth of products.

Anyway, after Big Mom falls, if we don't care, there will always be new big pirates who come to collect protection fees, so it's better to let the navy collect them.

At least the Warring States Period could guarantee that this would be more stable than providing money to pirates, and more cost-effective than paying heavenly gold.

Anyway, this is not a franchise country, there is no king, and it is not under the control of the world government.

Let’s try it first before talking.

…

On this day, Zhang Daye and the others came to Ice Cream Island and Ice Cream Town.

This is located in the southeast of Cake Island, which is relatively close to the island inside Totland.

Because it is far away from the border, the navy's patrols are relatively small, and Wendy can also hang out with everyone and taste various flavors of ice cream.

Ice Cream Island, like the other islands in Totland, totally lives up to its name.

Most of the buildings here are in the shape of ice cream, some are in the shape of cones, some are in the shape of goblets, and some are in the shape of ice cream with handles. The exquisite shapes make people very appetizing at first sight.

After entering the town, Zhang Daye immediately thought of holding down Tom to stop him from messing around.

But by the time he did it, it was too late. Tom had already rushed out and licked a sweet-looking wall with his sinful tongue.

"Tom, don't..."

Zhang Da also quickly thought about how Tom would compensate after demolishing other people's homes, but he thought too much.

Because after Tom's tongue stuck out, it stuck to the wall and couldn't be taken back.

Tom pulled left and right, kicked his feet on the wall, grabbed his tongue with his hands and pulled it back...

No matter how hard he tried, he could only stretch his tongue for a while, then bounce it back and hit the wall.

After a futile day's work, Tom was panting from exhaustion and looked at Zhang Daye pitifully with his big eyes.
