Pirates: The first partner is Tom Cat

This man's fighting ability is basically negligible. Zhang Da also only needs to catch up and knock him out with a punch. Just be careful not to hit him in the face. If he is damaged, it will be difficult to recognize.

"Don't worry, catch the criminal with a reward." Zhang Daye casually explained a few words to the person who recognized him, and then carried the person away.

Zhang Da also handed over to Rui Mengmeng: "Mengmeng, please go to the naval base. We have to go back to open the store first, and we don't have enough time."

"Okay." Rui Mengmeng carried the person easily. She also knew the way to the naval base.

Zhang Da also asked: "By the way, remember to buy a few boxes of toothpaste when you come back. You need every kind."

"I see."

…

In the next few days, the daily exercise location was at the beach. I was not kidding when I said I wanted to hunt Neptunes.

Although they were in the Grand Line, Neptunes were actually not that common. After searching for several days, the most they saw were large fish and sea beasts.

In the past few days, Shark Chili has been recognizing several bounty prisoners one after another. Some were passing by on the street, and some were pretending to sneak into the pub to drink and look at the cats.

This is not unusual. In reality, there are also wanted criminals who go to concerts and get caught.

Thanks to them, I have made an additional 20 to 30 million these days.

I didn't dare to let Shark Chili go to the naval base, for fear that he would attract the interest of naval researchers and be captured and sliced.

Although there are already rumors about robots on the island, rumors and seeing them with your own eyes are two different things. Simple robots are not actually unusual.

In addition, a certain irresponsible naval lieutenant commander now gets a headache when he sees people in the tavern, cannot hide away, and privately complains that they move too frequently.

On the contrary, Lieutenant Colonel T. Penn had a good impression of everyone in the tavern, and would invite them to join the navy every time he met them.

But every time I got a polite rejection.

One time, T. Penn took advantage of his free time to come to Artoria to learn swordsmanship. He used all the sword moves he was good at, but Artoria easily resolved them all, which made T. Penn admire him very much.

"Can you also compete with me, Lieutenant Colonel T. Penn?" Zhang Da also wanted to test his current strength.

"Of course." T. Penn likes to be straightforward in everything he does. If he is not asked to make things difficult for him, he will simply agree to it.

The two of them stood still with their weapons in hand. Penn raised the long sword in his hand and attacked: "As I said just now, I hate curved sword techniques and right-angle slashes!"

He used a genuine sword, a double-edged sword. It is said that he was once a knight of a certain kingdom.

And the flying slash he used really had the same name as the move. Most of others were arc-shaped, but his was a standard right angle.

When faced with a flying slash, it feels like someone is actually standing opposite you and wielding a sword. Either you use your skills to block his sword, or you use your strength to cut off or repel his sword.

The corresponding effect is to deflect flying slashes and to offset flying slashes.

Of course, you can also choose to avoid it, but it may be easier to expose flaws by avoiding it than facing it directly.

Zhang Da also accumulated a lot of experience in facing Artoria's slashes. He swung his sword to meet the slashes, changed its direction with his hands, and made it embed in the ground.

After that, of course, the distance must be shortened as soon as possible, but T. Penn will not just watch, and immediately uses the next move:

"Rectangular Flying Bird·Penn Big Bird!" (Don't laugh, it's frustrating but that's the name)

A slash that looked like a flying bird made several turns in the air in a way that Zhang Daye could not understand for the time being. Each time it turned at a right angle, it finally attacked Zhang Daye from the upper left.

This time Zhang Da also chose to fight head-on. The sword had a little magic power on it, and he aimed it at the bird's head and struck it.

With a clang of slashes, the two men finally came face to face with each other.

Later, Zhang Da also suffered a bit. His sword was estimated to be 1.2 meters tall, while Peng En's sword was at least 1.8 meters tall.

It would be fine if he was a noob with nothing but his size, but he was a lieutenant colonel of the Navy Headquarters who was good at swordsmanship and was said to be about to be promoted to colonel.

This is uncomfortable. Every inch is long and every inch is strong. Every time he tries to find an opportunity to get closer, he will always defy him. Zhang Da is so angry that he always wants to take out a street lamp.

After all, T. Penn is also a veteran sea soldier who has experienced many battles. Without this ability, he would have been killed by pirates long ago.

Little did he know that T. Penn was also surprised by Zhang Daye's strength. Whether it was speed or strength, he could feel the pressure. This clean swordsmanship was exactly the same as Artoria's style.

After dozens of rounds, T. Penn and Zhang Da also exchanged moves and took the opportunity to jump back: "That's it for now. As expected of someone who has received the teachings of Miss Artoria, I'm afraid I can only risk my life."

Only by fighting hard can we have a chance to win.”

"You're being humble. Thank you for your advice." In fact, Zhang Da hasn't fought enough yet. It's rare to meet an equally matched opponent. Although I'm annoyed that I can't defeat him, I'm very happy to be able to use what I've learned bit by bit.

"You're welcome, I just want to thank Miss Artoria for her guidance." Penn bowed slightly to greet Artoria, "Then I'll take my leave."

…

"Let's go, it's been a week, and I haven't seen even a shadow of the Neptune type. I don't believe that our luck is so bad!" Zhang Daye gave the order, and everyone set off again.

Shark Chili dives to find prey. He is the main force in underwater reconnaissance.

Tom and Artoria got on the raft. Tom was lazy and Artoria didn't want to go into the water.

Zhang Daye and Rui Mengmeng were pushing the raft to swim. They wanted to exercise on the way.

[Tom's raft: The raft that Tom rode on while drifting on the sea has withstood the test of strong winds and waves and has amazing toughness. 】

This is the reason for using a raft instead of a boat. Considering the possibility of encountering sea kings or sea monsters and causing waves, the raft produced by Tom is more trustworthy.

Now, the scope of their search for prey has been greatly expanded. They only ensure that the Chambord Islands are within sight, and then move around with the Chambord Islands as the center of the circle.

In winter, an apple core hit Zhang Daye on the head: "Tom, don't throw away garbage!"

Tom was taking bananas out of the basket and nodded when he heard Zhang Daye's words, but he forgot about it after eating the banana and threw the banana peel away.

In fact, with Zhang Daye's current strength, even if someone hit him with a gun from the opposite side, he would still have the confidence to dodge. However, what Tom threw was unreasonable at all, and he was hit accidentally.

"Tom~mu~" a voice full of resentment sounded.

Tom turned around and saw Zhang Daye taking the banana peel off his face. Tom was stunned and jumped out.

"Stop! See how I deal with you today!"

Tom was swimming in front, and Zhang Da was chasing after him.

Tom swam a circle, and Zhang Da followed suit. Tom swam a wavy line, and Zhang Da followed suit.

Shark Pepper surfaces next to the raft: "What's going on?"

Artoria said calmly: "Everyday fights."

Rui Mengmeng wondered: "I feel like there's something wrong with the boss's swimming speed. He's not usually that fast, is he?"

"This may be Tom's special ability. He seems to be able to influence others unconsciously." Artoria thought for a while and continued:

"In Tatsuya's words, this is called dragging the enemy into the same painting style as yourself, and then defeating him with rich experience. He always told me before that there was something wrong with Tom's painting style."

I always said it before, meaning I won’t say it now, because Zhang Da is already used to it.
