Pirates: The first companion is Tom Cat

"Murloc?" Zhefu recalled for a while, "The last time I heard about the murloc was in the newspapers. A few months ago, the murloc Jinbe became king Shichibukai, and I haven't heard anything else about it."

Zhang Da also figured it out, a few months is enough for Aaron to escape from the great route, right? However, it may take some time to gather partners and prepare ships. Besides, he may have to venture into the great route, and the goal may not be the East China Sea at the beginning.

Sanji suddenly got a little excited again: "Murloc? Is the murloc you're talking about a mermaid? Have you ever seen a mermaid?"

"The kind you're talking about is a mermaid, and they usually don't leave the fishman island easily." Zhang Da also understood what Sanji was thinking at a glance, and casually gave him a general science on the difference between a murloc and a mermaid, "We're going to The journey will probably pass through Fishman Island, how about it, do you want to go with us?"

Sanji, who had a firm face when facing ALL-BLUE, was caught in a tangle at this time, sometimes with a nympho-like face, and sometimes a firm face.

Zhang Da also found it interesting, so he just added a bit of anger: "We are very familiar with the king's family of Fishman Island. The fish princess in their family is about the same age as you. If you get to know each other now, you will be the princess' childhood sweetheart. , when you grow up..."

"The mermaid princess's... childhood sweetheart?!" Sanji began to fantasize, shaking like a seaweed.

"A brat like you who can't even cook a bowl of soup should stop daydreaming!" Zeff raised his leg and knocked on Sanji's head.

"Smelly old man, I will definitely surpass you!" Sanji was woken up by him, and ran back to the kitchen angrily.

Zhefu brought the topic back on track: "Did you go to the East China Sea to find the Murloc Pirates?"

Zhang Da also waved his hand: "It's just looking for him during the trip. That kind of small character hasn't offended me, so it wouldn't make us go from the great route to the East China Sea to find him."

It means that if you are offended, even if it is a small character, will you deliberately pursue and kill him from the great route to the East China Sea? Zhefu suddenly sympathized with the person who offended Zhang Daye.

Since Zhefu didn't have any useful information here, Zhang Daye and the others didn't stay any longer, and started the journey again after saying goodbye.

It is worth mentioning that when the chefs said goodbye, those exhausted chefs rolled out of the restaurant, saying that they would become stronger, and they would definitely defeat Artoria next time.

"I'm looking forward to it, I will come again in the future, let's have a showdown!" Artoria always ignited her fighting spirit in strange ways.

And Zhang Da just wanted to know if Bharatti could not charge if Artoria won.

They also know that it is impossible, so their next goal is to find the Golden Island and search for the treasure of the 'Golden Pirate' Wu Nan.

Originally, Zhang Da had no hope for this treasure, but now he sincerely hopes to find some gold.

Otherwise, Boss Zhang is in danger of going bankrupt at any time!

Sail with high hopes for a few days.

Today is December 24, 1510 in the lunar calendar, and the weather is cloudy. According to Wendy, the ship's doctor and weatherman, there will be snowfall in the evening.

"Is the route okay?" Zhang Da also confirmed the route with Shark Pepper on a daily basis.

Shark Chili looked at the chart and compass, and said, "No problem, it's expected to arrive in two to three days."

"Where's the food inventory?" Zhang Da also asked again.

"If it is consumed normally, it can last for about 20 days." Rui Mengmeng has been helping Tom in the kitchen, and has taken over the task of the warehouse keeper by the way. If you eat.

"That's good. Tonight's Christmas Eve, it's time to decorate the Amber." After confirming that there were no worries, Zhang Da also called his companions to prepare for the holiday.

The Christmas tree was already prepared when it was in the Kingdom of Goa. It was planted in a big flower pot for a few days and it still keeps green. Tom took out the big scissors and stepped on the ladder to trim it, making the whole tree more beautiful. Regular and good-looking.

The cut branches and leaves were not wasted, and Tom pieced together several green garlands to hang on the dining room wall for decoration.

Rui Mengmeng brought out all kinds of decorations bought in Goa Kingdom and distributed them to everyone.

Xia Lulu spread her wings, hung a golden star on the top of the tree, and then pulled a string of colored lights to fly around the tree several times to wrap it up.

Wendy and Perona stepped on small benches and ladders to hang lollipops, candy canes and other candies on the trees.

Zhang Da also unwrapped a lollipop, stuffed the lollipop into Arturia's mouth, and pulled her away from the Christmas tree.

Arturia was reluctantly dragged away by Zhang Daye, his eyes seemed to say, 'a tree full of candies looks delicious'.

Ye Yan directed the banner demons to float up and down to hang lights, bells, snowflake ornaments and other things on the mast and the side of the ship.

Brook sat in front of the piano and played the melody of the classic "Jingle Bells". The score was provided by Tom, otherwise he could only arrange the music slowly based on Zhang Daye's humming.

Everyone was busy, putting on a Christmas-limited skin for the Amber, and even the statue of Tom on the bow was dressed in a Santa Claus costume.

When night falls, all the colored lights are turned on at the same time, and the silhouette of a ship is outlined with colorful lights on the dark sea.

The Christmas tree was placed on the deck, in front of the main mast, the lights on the tree were also lit, and everyone stood in two rows in front of the tree:

Arturia stood in the middle, Wendy hugged Xia Lulu, Perona hugged Tom, Zhang Daye, Rui Mengmeng, Ye Yan, and Brooke stood behind them.

The banner demon Jin Erpeng flew in the air with a camera in hand, looking for various angles to take group photos for everyone.

Shark Chili is quite special, standing in the front row in a normal form for a while, and standing in the back row in a super transformed form for a while, taking fancy pictures.

Originally, he planned to summon the giant shark to participate, but after thinking about it, he still didn't challenge the load capacity of the deck of the Amber.

On an unknown pirate ship in the distance, the lookout suddenly shouted! "Captain, an unknown ship has been found!"

"What? How did you see it at this time?"

"That ship is brightly lit, and there is no moonlight today, so it's too conspicuous."

"Haha, little ones, turn off all the lights on the boat, let's sneak over and attack them! There must be rich people's yachts with so many lights!"

"oh!"

The pirate ship that had already anchored to rest moved quickly and headed towards the Amber.

However, before they could go far, a huge golden slash cut the entire ship in two along the keel.

The pirates didn't feel it at all when the slash flew by, and they didn't make a panicked sound until the ship that was split in two fell to the sides and sank: "What happened?!"

On the Amber, after taking the photo, Artoria looked around to make sure no one noticed her action, and quietly picked a candy cane from the Christmas tree.

Although he didn't know who those pirates were, Tatsuya had prepared Tom's festival for so long, and he couldn't let irrelevant people spoil it.

Artoria stretched out her small tongue and licked the candy cane, and Daimao moved happily. Well, it's so sweet, reward yourself with a lollipop later.

A gust of wind blew by, and the bells hanging on the boat made a tinkling sound. Wendy stretched out her little hand, and a snowflake fell on the palm of her hand. The beautiful hexagonal snowflake began to collapse inwards from the edge, and finally turned into a circle. Round water drops.

Wendy raised her head, and the scattered snowflakes in the air were dimly illuminated by the lights on the boat: "It's so beautiful..."

Brook's piano sounded again, and Tom took out flute, clarinet, violin, trumpet and other instruments from nowhere to respond. Even simple nursery rhymes were given the atmosphere of a formal symphony performance by him.

"Jingle bells, jingle bells..." Zhang Da couldn't help humming along.

Strictly speaking, his not-so-nice singing voice and voice are a bit disappointing to the two musical instrument masters.

But no one cared about it, and soon Wendy and Xia Lulu, who were the most susceptible, joined in and sang the simple and easy-to-remember lyrics together: "How happy we are skiing, we are sitting on the sled..."

Perona was about to complain about Zhang Daye, but when she heard her little sister Wendy's nice voice, she also awkwardly joined in: "Breaking through the snowstorm, we are sitting on a sled..."

Rui Mengmeng didn't have any confidence in her singing voice at all, but it didn't matter if she sang in a chorus, she sang along in a low voice: "Running across the fields, we laughed and sang..."

"Hey, singing this kind of song is very childish, okay?" Ye Yan looked disgusted on the surface, but he sang the lyrics better than anyone else: "The sound of the horse's bell makes one's spirit so happy..."

Arturia finished eating the candy canes, and took off a lollipop that was bigger than her face. While shaking her body slightly to everyone's singing, she was thinking about where to put her mouth.

The moment Shark Pepper heard Zhang Daye speak, he raised his legs and wanted to jump into the sea, but Brook's long-term treatment had some effect, and Shark Pepper restrained his impulse.

After listening to a few words, Shark Pepper did not feel uncomfortable as usual, but felt the warm feeling when listening to the recording of the final chorus of the Rumba Pirates for the first time.

This feeling is similar but different. The last chorus of the Rumba Pirates, as the singing progressed, there were fewer and fewer people. They tried to maintain optimism, but there was sadness everywhere in the chorus. They wanted to leave Raab with happy memories, but when all were down, all that was left was loneliness and loneliness.

At this moment, the chorus of the amber tour group, as the chorus progresses, more and more people join in. Maybe some people can't sing well, maybe some people will forget the words, but Shark Pepper can hear everyone's voice in the singing. Happiness from the heart, everyone is enjoying the time together.

It was the first time that Shark Pepper listened so intently to a song that was not considered beautiful, and it was also the first time that Shark Pepper had the desire to sing, so he tried to open his mouth: "Ding Ding Dong, Ding Ding Dong..."

The clumsy and jerky singing voice, the incongruous feeling of singing for the first time, the singing of Shark Pepper is definitely not good, in the past, he himself would run away after hearing a sentence.

But at this time, with the encouraging eyes of his companions and the surprise eyes of Zhang Daye, Shark Pepper smiled and sang with everyone: "Jingle Bells..."

Brooke played the piano, with tears streaming down his dark eyes, but the skull face looked clearly smiling, and he joined in the singing with a smile.

Although Tom didn't sing along, his mouth never slackened, and he flexibly switched between various instruments, which was different from the hustle and bustle of the concert, and Tom obviously enjoyed it at this time.

"Singing seems to be a great experience." Artoria finally didn't bite the lollipop, but quietly hung it back, and tried to join the chorus after listening for a while.

"Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle bells~"

"How happy we are skiing, we are sitting on the sled~"

The increasingly brisk singing echoed in the night sky accompanied by the sound of musical instruments, bells and waves, witnessing the first Christmas Eve of the Amber Tour Group together with the falling snowflakes.

Needless to say, there was a sumptuous dinner in the evening. Afterwards, everyone put aside their respective exercises for a rare moment, sat around eating snacks, chatting, telling stories and playing cards.

They kept playing until the two little lolis were so sleepy that they started yawning before going back to their rooms to rest.

Zhang Da also took Tom back to the room as usual. Tom is going to sleep in his own den today, and his den has also been decorated beautifully. Tom also hung a small sock beside the den for Santa Claus. one's gift.

Zhang Da also covered the quilt, and put his hand on the bedside light switch: "Good night, Tom."

Tom waved and closed his eyes. Although he had a good time, he was also a little tired.

The bedside lamp was turned off, and the room was plunged into darkness. Zhang Da also lay down for a while, and heard Tom snoring with his ears. Then he found the Santa Claus costume hidden under the quilt.

Zhang Da also picked up his clothes and got off the bed lightly, but when passing by Tom's den, the fake beard accidentally fell on the ground, making a rattling sound.

The sound was not loud, but Tom in his sleep raised his head in a daze, and he was about to wake up with his mouth babbling.

Zhang Da also quickly bent over to pick up his beard, and softly sang a lullaby next to Tom's ear: "The insects fly, the insects fly..."

After a lullaby was sung, Tom lay down in the den again with his snot bubbles on, shrinking back.

Zhang Da also helped Tom tuck up the quilt and put on a pair of earmuffs just in case.

[Tom’s sound-proof earmuffs: Wearing this pair of earmuffs, whether you are knocking gongs or setting off firecrackers, you will never hear a single sound. People with earmuffs. 】

After leaving the room, Zhang Da also breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time was a little discouraged. After practicing hypnosis for so long with Zango's hypnotic ring, the emotional effect is not as good as a lullaby.

"Aren't you moving too slowly? It's almost twelve o'clock." Ye Yan had already put on his reindeer outfit and was waiting, with a cloth bag on his back.

"There was a little accident." Zhang Da also changed his clothes while talking, and took the cloth bag from Ye Yan, which contained the gifts he had prepared for everyone in advance, and was about to be sent out tonight.

Although I don't know how many people believe in the existence of Santa Claus, what we want is this kind of atmosphere and sense of ceremony.

Is it not too abrupt to cure Shark Pepper's mental illness in this way?
