Pirates: The first partner is Tom Cat

"Going to sea? Is there anything important?" Zhang Daye asked curiously. Ordinary people would not talk about going to sea when they have nothing to do. The risk is too high.

"It's nothing. It's just that an old friend may have been in some trouble recently. I'm going to see him." Gragas looked like a gangster who had retired for many years and was about to come out to help his friend.

Zhang Da also looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze: "I said you are not a retired big pirate, are you?"

Gragas said angrily: "Have you seen my reward order?"

"That's not true, otherwise I would have sent you in a long time ago." Zhang Daye had heard that he was a powerful person, but he didn't know the details at all, and no information was found on Shark Chili.

And since he has been able to operate so blatantly in the Shampoo Islands for so many years, it means that there is no problem, otherwise he is like Rayleigh who has both problems and no problems. This is not Zhang Daye's business, and besides, everyone

We are quite familiar with it now, so we can just say it as a joke.

"You just got a lot stronger after going to sea." Gragas curled his lips, "Otherwise with your original physique, when I was young, I could hit nine with my belly alone!"

"Hey, one against nine, I didn't dare to be so arrogant when I was playing in Summoner's Rift."

An old man and a young man were talking nonsense at the door. It's all about bragging. Let's brag first and then talk about it. Who cares what nonsense they brag about.

Rui Mengmeng came over and said, "Boss, we've finished counting everything."

Zhang Da also nodded and asked: "How much?"

Gragas gestured: "This number."

"Has the price increased?" Zhang Da also remembered the approximate price before, "It's inappropriate to kill me when we meet again after a long absence, isn't it?"

"Now that even newspapers have increased in price, what shouldn't increase a little?" Gragas said matter-of-factly, "You've scanned the entire illegal zone, are you still fussing over this small amount of money?"

Zhang Daye said confidently: "How much you make and how much you spend money are two different things. We are all familiar with it. How about a discount? Even if it is a zero?"

"You really...ah, yes." Gragas waved to the three little girls, and then gave each of them a 00 Beli coin, "Come on, come on, I'll give you money to buy ice cream.

Don’t be robbed by this unscrupulous boss!”

The three children did not stop Zhang Da when they saw him, so they accepted the coins and said crisply: "Thank you, uncle!"

Although they are not short of money, they still need to be polite when dealing with other people's feelings.

Zhang Da also waited for them to collect the money before complaining: "You are too stingy."

"Whatever discount you said is a discount. Isn't this a discount? If you don't want it, just give it back to me." Gragas greeted his workers and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute, come back with 00, I'm still a little girl!" Zhang Da also called out Xia Lulu after the transformation. Don't be ignorant with your free money.

"..." Gragas lost 000 beli this time.

Xia Lulu, who was in human form, tossed the coin in her hand helplessly: "Five hundred Baileys, what do you think?"

"That profiteer uncle is already rich, and he can cheat a little bit." Zhang Daye said, "He knows Tom, and Ye Yan is too tall, otherwise I would dress them up as little girls and cheat him out of a thousand Baileys.

.”

Xia Lulu closed her eyes: "Please put your mind on a normal place."

"Okay, then while it's not open for business, why don't Teacher Xia Lulu come and teach me flying magic?"

…

In the midst of all the hustle and bustle, the tavern finally reopened, and the signboard with the words "Tatsuya's Tavern" was put back up.

Although not everyone wants to work in the pub, everyone still sat together in the lobby on the first day of opening. It’s just...

"It's so deserted..." Weiwei held a big tray at the door and looked forward to it, but for a while no guests came.

Ye Yan, who was dressed as a waiter, wondered: "Was this place really popular before?"

"Absolutely. If the opening hours are not too short every day, there is no problem in saying that it is the most popular pub." Zhang Da also thought for a while and realized the problem, "Well... we seem to have forgotten to advertise, and everyone probably doesn't know it yet.

About reopening.”

"What should we do?" Jackie Chan asked, "How do we advertise here and distribute leaflets?"

"No, it's almost noon. Those government workers at GR 63 will come nearby to eat and drink." Zhang Daye said, "They are our regular customer group, and there will be people there by then."

"Oh..." Everyone waited doubtfully.

Time passed by minute by second, Tom, who was lying on the bar, yawned, and everyone else almost had spider webs on their bodies, but there was still no one in the store.

Perona stretched herself and asked suspiciously: "Are you bragging? In fact, the tavern had no business at all before. Sister Artoria caught pirates and raised you?"

"Don't talk nonsense, the money earned by the tavern was enough for our food and clothing." Zhang Daye wondered, "What happened today? It's evil."

Weiwei, who was originally full of expectations, also became listless. Is this considered a business failure? Did the wine purchased today be a loss?

"Ha, I understand." Ye Yan's expression became more exciting, "Those World Government staff that I always mentioned are probably not going to come recently."

Everyone's eyes were focused on him, and Zhang Da also asked: "What's going on?"

Ye Yan said: "I asked the flag demon to go out and explore. Thanks to us, those officials are very busy these days and have no time to come out to drink."

"Is it related to us, because of those prisoners?" Zhang Daye said, "Aren't they all handed over to the navy, so what does it have to do with them?"

Ye Yan explained: "It didn't matter at first, but the more we caught, the more we caught, and we released almost as many words as we would to protect the island in the future, so that the illegal area almost turned into a normal area."

, stationed with police officers and the like, so I’m very busy.”

"That is to say, we have done a great thing?" Weiwei became happy. She also had some credit for this. She used her ability to help catch many people.

Jackie Chan said: "For ordinary people, returning to an orderly life should be considered a good thing. At least they no longer have to worry about a cannonball suddenly flying in from the window."

Two groups of pirates fought on the street, with shells hitting private houses, which was a common occurrence in lawless areas. Even when Zhang Da also arrested Fozzie Fu, if Fozzi Fu didn't want to run away at first, he just happened to be running away in the end.

When he arrived near the junction of the two islands, he was caught up by Zhang Daye. The battle between the two might have destroyed many houses.

Zhang Da also sighed: "I didn't expect that this could trick me. Apart from this, everything is pretty good."

"Great." Weiwei was no longer sad. After knowing that her previous actions had a positive impact on ordinary people, Weiwei became energetic and clumsily comforted Zhang Da not to lose heart. Business will be good.

Getting better.

Zhang Da also felt dumbfounded and touched her head. He was not going to do anything just because of such a trivial matter. Nowadays, the nature of opening a tavern is basically to play with tickets and find something for everyone to do. If he really wants to make money for food, he might as well go to the sea.

Hunt sea beasts.

"Okay, let's do whatever we need to do. Just leave a few of us here to watch. Others don't have to wait."

Everyone dispersed. Shark Chili and Jackie Chan ran to the yard to practice. Artoria took a bamboo sword and went to the yard. Ye Yanshun took two bananas and went back to take a nap.

Wendy and Zhang Da also went to practice magic together. Perona dug out flying chess and played with Tom, and even asked Karu to count. Weiwei took Xia Lulu and waited for the guests at the door. Rui Mengmeng volunteered to stay and look after her.

they.

The business hours at noon passed quickly, during which only a few customers came here and there. They were all old customers of the tavern. When they saw the familiar tavern open, they decided to come in and have a seat.

It wasn't until they saw Tom lying on the counter playing Ludo with Perona, and secretly cheating when throwing the dice, that they were sure that Tom was that Tom, and that interesting tavern was back.

And...there are also princesses from Alabasta and beautiful girls with cat ears as guests!

The princess of Alabasta gave us wine! Even the words 'Welcome' when entering the door were particularly sweet. They felt like they could brag about this for a lifetime, but when they walked out they were a little worried about whether they would be betrayed by Alabasta.

The king sent someone to assassinate him.

But I can’t care about that much now, let’s brag first!

Weiwei was in a daze holding the banknotes in her hand: "You've obviously paid for the drinks, why did you give us extra money?"

Xia Lulu also had one in her hand. She explained: "It's a tip, probably to show that they recognize our work."

After the business hours ended, Zhang Da also found out about his income at noon today. The money he earned from selling wine was not as much as the tips Xia Lulu and Weiwei received.

Regarding Weiwei's desire to hand over the money, Zhang Da also said: "Keep it for yourself. From now on, all the money you make from opening the tavern will be given to you as pocket money. Whoever works will get the money. Whoever doesn't work will get the money."

They have no share.”

Perona, who had been playing all afternoon, was a little excited. She lost two packs of chocolate beans to Tom in the chess game. If she wanted to buy more, she would have to wait until the pocket money was given tomorrow. If she could earn it by herself... Look at how relaxed Weiwei and Xia Lulu were at noon today.

, why don’t you also go and help?

But I have already refused before! It’s so embarrassing to say that I want to go now!

If you don't go, Wendy and Weiwei will have to treat you when you go out to play in the future. She is obviously the oldest one, so this will be very embarrassing!

Perona is in a dilemma.

"Oh hahaha~~" Tom was flipping through a joke book, laughing and throwing chocolate beans into his mouth.

The sound of laughter and chewing chocolate beans hit Perona's heart like a hammer.

Damn it, just be embarrassed if you are embarrassed, the worst is to be laughed at by the evil boss, earning some pocket money is more important. But it is best to wait until Weiwei and the others are too busy to take the initiative to ask her for help, so that she can join without embarrassment, eh

, this method is good.

Time soon arrived in the evening, and after everyone had dinner, the tavern opened again.

Zhang Da also suddenly remembered something, rummaged through the inventory for a while, and took out the piano: "Tom, I haven't played for a while, want to play a piece?"

Tom became interested, quickly put on his tuxedo and sat down on the piano bench.

Tom, who had changed into a tuxedo, looked completely different from his usual cat, with an elegant temperament in every move he made.

After a brief sound check, Tom straightened his tie and officially started playing.

The soft and gentle sound of the piano sounded, and the tune was relaxed and high-spirited. When everyone listened to the playing, they seemed to see a girl singing softly, pouring out her beautiful thoughts like flowing water.

Almost no one here understood that Tom was playing Chopin's "Nocturne in E flat major", but almost everyone could understand the emotions in the music. This is a superb performer who can use the piano to talk to people.

Tom himself was also immersed in it, with a very engaged expression on his face.

When the song ended, Tom stood up and bowed, and everyone applauded without hesitation and praised him without hesitation.

Xia Lulu couldn't help but said: "I didn't expect that Tom is quite handsome when he plays the piano seriously."

Piano master Tom succeeded instantly and was so happy that he stuck out his tongue. He swooped up to Xia Lulu and kissed the back of Xia Lulu's hand, then swooped back to the piano bench and started to show off his skills.

What about playing with your hands, playing with your feet, playing with your tail, or even dancing with your feet on the keys...

From a pianist with full temperament, he turned into a funny guy who kept showing off his tricks in order to attract the attention of girls.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Xia Lulu covered her face: "Pretend I didn't say it."

Zhang Da couldn't help but laugh out loud. In fact, Tom has a lot of talents, and he can show off any one of them seriously, including flirting with a little female cat. But every time he gets excited, he makes a fool of himself, or it's critical.

Being disrupted all the time makes it often thankless.

“Brother Tatsuya’s tavern is really open!”

"I hear the piano! Is Tom back?"

"Come in and have a look!"

There was a noisy sound outside the door, it was obviously a few guests at noon making tap water.

Weiwei and Xia Lulu quickly ran to the door, leaned forward slightly, and said in unison: "Welcome!"

"Ah, you, are you the rumored princess of Alabasta?" The guest who entered the door was startled.

"Yes, but now I'm just a waiter." Weiwei is almost used to being asked like this, "What does the guest want?"

"Oh, um, a beer, thank you!" The guest was a little flattered.

Weiwei and Xia Lulu got busy, and Rui Mengmeng also helped.

Ye Yan's waiter attire finally came in handy, taking orders or serving dishes very skillfully.

It's just that the eyes of the guests he served showed a bit of disgust, and he was so angry that he wanted to give them a slap.

Perona held her chin in front of the counter, watching eagerly as Weiwei and the others were busy, expecting them to call her for help.

Maybe it was because Xia Lulu praised Tom that he kept playing the piano in a fancy way.

The attention of the guests began to be attracted to Tom, and they cheered loudly and asked for more food and drinks. And more and more people came in to see Tom even if there were no seats.

Xia Lulu wiped the sweat from her forehead and said to Weiwei: "There are so many people, so busy..."

Perona looked at her expectantly and was ready to reluctantly agree.

Just listen to Xia Lulu continue to say: "How about I go ask Wendy to help?"

With a thud, Perona fell down on the counter, with red marks on her forehead.

"Hey, Perona, are you there too? Can you help me call Wendy? I can't get out of here."

Perona: "..."

I want to help!
