Pirates: The first partner is Tom Cat

Making dumplings is a very simple thing. Zhang Da also confidently started by kneading the noodles. If there is too much noodles, add water. If there is too much water, add noodles...

Five minutes later, Zhang Daye looked at the small mountain of noodles in the basin with a look of despair, and finally decided to call for foreign aid: "Mengmeng, can you make dumplings?"

"Yes..." Rui Mengmeng was startled when she saw the face in front of Zhang Daye, "Boss, do you want rain?"

"What rain do I ask for?"

"It is said in Journey to the West that when the dog licks the mountain of noodles, the chicken eats the mountain of rice, and the fire breaks the copper lock, it will rain."

"..." Zhang Daye said awkwardly, "I made a few mistakes. Anyway, I'll leave the dough to you. I'd better chop the stuffing."

Rui Mengmeng looked at the mess left by Zhang Daye with a headache. With so many noodles, it would take hundreds of dumplings to make? But considering everyone’s appetite, hundreds of dumplings don’t seem to be a lot.

Chopping the stuffing is much simpler. Just ask everyone what they want to eat, and then cut some pork, mutton, beef, and sea animal meat separately.

After all, Zhang Daye is also a great swordsman now. His two kitchen knives are left behind after he has used them. He can chop meat stuffing without splitting the chopping board at the same time. This efficiency and skill are inferior to even a double-knife turkey.

After the preparations were completed, everyone gathered around a table.

Zhang Da also picked up the rolling pin and quickly rolled out round dumpling wrappers. This is easy to learn and you don't have to worry about messing up.

Others learned to make dumplings under the guidance of Rui Mengmeng.

Of course, Tom is the fastest learner. He can imitate it very closely after just one look. Ye Yan is also similar. According to him, he has done it before.

Artoria followed Rui Mengmeng step by step with great interest. At some point, there was a trace of flour on her cheeks, but it did not affect her serious eyes. In the past few days, she had taken Tom to study Oden cooking with great success.

, making her more and more interested in making delicious food with her own hands.

"Yo ho ho ho~ It feels very interesting. In this case, will I also learn a way to make delicious food?" Brooke's hands with only bones were unexpectedly very dexterous, and the dumplings he made were very beautiful.

"It's nothing special, look at my Kumasi!" Perona proudly held up her work, a dumpling with bear ears and even embellished eyes and nose with meat fillings.

"So cute~" Wendy looked at Perona's little bear, but she just obediently learned to make ordinary dumplings.

Xia Lulu saw that everyone was busy, but her little claws were far less flexible than Tom's, and they were not as big as Tom's hands. She couldn't help with making dumplings. After watching for a while, Xia Lulu said: "I'll go anyway.

Stand guard in the watch room, Wendy, I have to ask you to do my part."

Wendy nodded: "Well, don't worry, leave it to me."

"I'll be there later." Shark Chili looked at his hands. Making dumplings was also very difficult for him. But it was a rare group activity. He worked hard and said, "Start the super transformation form!"

"Well, you don't have to fight like that..." Zhang Da also said this, but Shark Pepper had already completed his transformation. After moving his fingers a little, his hands moved as fast as a convulsion, averaging one dumpling per second.

In the end, there wasn't enough dumpling skin left, and everyone else could only stare.

So Shark Pepper snatched away Zhang Daye's rolling pin and rolled out the dough as if it were at double speed: "I don't have much time to transform, so I must work harder!"

Wendy worriedly asked: "Brother Tatsuya, is he okay like this?"

Zhang Daye comforted him: "It's okay, don't you remember that Shark Pepper is like this every time it's his turn to wash clothes?"

The poor super-transformed form is in a state of explosive combat, and it has to be used for washing clothes and cooking every three days. It is really unfair to it.

Thanks to the efforts of Shark Chili, the vigorous dumpling-making activity came to an end soon, and Zhang Da also stuffed a coin into the filling of the last dumpling.

"Those who eat the coins will have good luck and lots of money in the coming year." Zhang Daye explained in the face of several pairs of curious eyes.

In the end, the drawers and trays filled with dumplings almost filled the kitchen. I don’t know whether there were hundreds or thousands of dumplings in the end.

Leaving the dumpling cooking to others, Zhang Da also pulled Tom to the deck and pulled out a lot of firecrackers and fireworks from the inventory.

"Tom, come and help me distinguish which ones are normal fireworks and which ones can kill people."

Tom bit his finger, firecrackers were pretty much the same, how could any of them kill people?

But since the owner asked for it, he still chose some less powerful firecrackers, feeling that they wouldn't blow up the ship.

Zhang Da also found some gunpowder and thread to string together the ordinary firecrackers that Tom jumped out of, and set off the fireworks separately.

Tom suddenly felt interesting, took a firework, placed it on the head of the bow statue, and lit the fuse.

With the sound of bang bang bang, the fireworks took off into the sky, blooming with colorful brilliance in the sky.

"What a nice view!"

"so beautiful!"

Everyone came out of the cabin and looked up at the fireworks in the sky. Xia Lulu in the observation room flew out of the window and fell into Wendy's arms, looking up at the sky while demonstrating what a tablet computer was.

All kinds of lights shine on everyone's smiling faces, heralding the arrival of the new year.

In this atmosphere, everyone was very happy, except for the Tom statue on the bow, whose head had been blackened after a set of fireworks.

From an angle that no one can see, the statue feels aggrieved and even wants to cough out two puffs of cigarette.

"The dumplings are out of the pot!" Rui Mengmeng shouted.

Everyone cheered and ran to the restaurant. Zhang Da also used his favorite street lamp to pick up a string of firecrackers that he had strung and lit the fuse.

Crackling, crackling, crackling...

Fortunately, there were no accidents except for a firecracker that didn't go off. Zhang Da also went into the restaurant to eat dumplings with satisfaction.

The dumplings are just the first pot to come out of the pot, there are still many more that need to be eaten as you go.

The bear-shaped dumplings that Perona longed for were missing the filling as Zhang Daye expected. Perona could only eat them with a sad face. Fortunately, the kind-hearted Rui Mengmeng prepared soy sauce and vinegar for her.

"Yo ho ho ho~ This tastes really good!" Brooke took a bite of a dumpling and looked like he swallowed it directly. He didn't know how he tasted it.

The dumplings made by others are very similar and are almost unrecognizable after being cooked. Most of them are the fruits of Shark Chili's labor anyway.

At first, Rui Mengmeng had to take care of the pot, and handed it over to Ye Yan after he was full.

In fact, Tom had almost eaten, but in order to find the coin that represented good luck, he would hold on no matter what.

If Zhang Daye hadn't stopped him, he would have been pricking them one by one with chopsticks.

Brooke was equally childish as him, but when he finished eating most of the dumplings, Brooke finally couldn't hold it in any longer and covered his abdomen with one hand: "Hiccup~ I can't stand it anymore, I can't eat anymore..."

Obviously my belly has no intention of being bulging at all.

Not long after, there was a bang sound, and Artoria bit into something hard. However, she did not spit it out immediately, but instead bit hard again in disbelief: "Ugh..."

She spit out a coin with two rows of thin teeth marks on it.

Before anyone could congratulate her, Artoria said with disdain: "What a bad luck. When I bite the coin, the whole dumpling tastes bad."

I can only say that this result was expected by everyone, and everyone absolutely believes that the following sentence came from her heart, not from Versailles.

Zhang Da also helplessly took out a dumpling from his plate and gave it to her: "I'll make it up to you."

"Yeah!" Artoria's happiness was particularly simple.

It was a quiet night. Even with so many fireworks, there was no pirate ship. I don't know if I should call it good luck or bad luck.

Maybe the news that the navy has changed its commander and added a general has really shocked many young pirates, and no one wants to get into trouble when the navy's morale is at its peak.

However, there are pirates who are afraid of the navy and dare not act recklessly, and there are also pirates who ignore the navy and still go their own way.

There is even a group of pirates in the New World who are unwilling to let the navy achieve its goals smoothly. As soon as they received the news, they immediately started preparing to attack the navy ships and even attack the navy branch base.

Although these actions did not have unified command and did not cause any damage to the navy, they did cause a lot of trouble and greatly affected the navy's plan to combat the pirates' momentum.

While eating dumplings together on the Amber, the new Navy Marshal Sengoku was sitting in his office, with the words "Justice that Rules the World" written on the wall behind him.

Warring States picked up a document and fed it to the lamb beside him. The first day as a marshal started with overtime work.

"Pfft hahaha! Sengoku, do you have to work overtime on the first day? Fortunately, I never got promoted!" Garp pushed open the door of Sengoku's office roughly, and his laughter was so loud that the entire floor could hear his laughter.

Warring States pinched his eyebrows and said with a headache: "Garp, I have told you several times to knock on the door before coming in."

"Don't worry about this." Garp skillfully opened the drawer of Sengoku's desk, ignored the confidential documents, and took out a bag of senbei inside, "It's still hidden here! Hahaha, I brought tea...

…where is your teapot?”

"Don't rummage through my drawers, Garp!" Warring States roared, but there was nothing he could do against his old comrade, so he simply took out the teapot and handed it to him, "After drinking the tea, leave quickly. I still have work."

Warring States continued to work at his desk, but soon his ears were filled with the sound of 'click, click, click, suck, suck, suck', which made him very annoyed.

"Be quiet, you bastard!" Sengoku slammed the table and left his seat. He simply sat next to Garp and grabbed tea and senbei from him.

Two old navy men over half a century old were making a fuss like two children.

After finally finishing eating the senbei and driving away Garp, Sengoku could continue working quietly.

The actions of the pirates in the New World were generally within his expectations. Any big pirate with a little foresight would find ways to create obstacles for the navy at such times——

In order to prevent the pirates from losing fresh blood, if all the qualified young people were fooled by the navy into joining the army, it would be too late for them to cry.

The Sengoku response method was very simple, which was to fight back forcefully. It happened that Kuzan and Sakaski had just taken office and needed some achievements to completely eliminate their title of "monsters".

They originally had many outstanding generals under their command who were waiting for promotion due to meritorious service, so now is a good time.

Of course, there are also outliers among the powerful pirates, such as white beard, red hair, Big Mom, etc., but they did not participate immediately.

Although Whitebeard understands everything, he has no interest in this kind of thing. Ambitious people will always become pirates. There is no need to force them if they don't have them. At most, they can only accept some who are passionate and go to attack the navy with others, but they are beaten.

Foolish fools.

Not long after the red-haired pirates entered the new world, the World Government sent him a message some time ago inviting him to become a Shichibukai, but he refused without thinking. Now he is still running rampant in the new world with a few of his friends.

Fighting and having banquets are the eternal themes of the Red-haired Pirates, but given his character, he would not take the initiative to attack the navy. Like Whitebeard, he would only occasionally provide help to some pirates who liked him. This was inexplicable.

There are a bunch of more followers, or they can be called subordinate pirate groups.

BIG·MOM is amazing. At the age of 58, she still insists on having children. According to the original timeline, her youngest child, Charlotte Anana, will be born in 3 years.

So her current focus is still on building the Kingdom of Totland (all nations), occasionally coveting the Fishman Island protected by Whitebeard. However, her eldest son Perospero will take the other brothers and sisters to take the opportunity to gather some pirates

group.

As for Kaido, who was on Onigashima in Wano Country, he was drunk and unconscious when the news was released. After finally waking up and listening to his subordinates reading the newspaper, Kaido immediately transformed into a blue dragon and crashed through the roof and flew into the sky.

"Ending the Age of Great Pirates? Are you kidding me!" The drunkenness was welling up, and Kaido flew towards the navy headquarters unsteadily. He wanted to see if Garp and Sengoku could still lift their fists.

By the way, let's see if those little brats are qualified to be generals.

"Lord Kaido!" Kaido's men shouted in vain, and finally decided to report to the big signboard. This matter was obviously beyond their ability to handle.

…

At this time, Zhang Daye still didn’t know what kind of chaos the new world would be like, after all, it was not shown in this animation.

After happily celebrating the new year with my companions, we welcomed the new day as usual. The first thing on the new day was to clean the deck and wipe the statue on the bow of the ship.

I don’t know when the firecracker that didn’t explode last night exploded. The entire upper body of the statue was smoked black. I don’t know how the firecracker exploded. Logically speaking, it should have blackened the lower body.

But considering that this was a firecracker from Tom's world, Zhang Da also felt that it was not surprising that such a thing happened.

After another three days of sailing in the East China Sea, two unknown small pirate groups were eliminated on the way. Wendy, who served as a lookout today, made a new discovery:

"Everyone...I seem to have seen something strange..."

In fact, while watching the anime, there were many times when Sengoku's office had a sign saying "Absolute Justice." I don't know if it was the animation team who took the blame or if he robbed Akainu's office.
