Pirates: The first partner is Tom Cat

The only merchant ship Zhang Daye knows is the one in Bizinis, and he has never seen it with his own eyes, so he really doesn't know what a merchant captain is like.

But he didn’t know anyone would understand. Bob said: “The merchant ships are pretty much like this. Some hang the flag of their own chamber of commerce and have the chamber of commerce written on the sails, and some don’t hang anything at all.”

"But merchant ships usually come from the west, right? Ours is the easternmost point, so why would it come from this direction? Are they merchants from Fish-Man Island?" The Red Earth Continent is to the east of the Chambord Islands.

Bob shook his head: "It's impossible to tell, because the Chambord Islands are not islands in the real sense, but the roots of the Argentine mangroves. They themselves have no magnetism. To get here, you have to point.

The pointer to Fishman Island, or the life card of someone on the island."

Zhang Da also nodded. He knew all this common sense. The geomagnetism in the Grand Line was chaotic and the compass failed. Even a genius navigator like Nami could only use the record pointer, the eternal pointer or the life card to navigate.

"What does this have to do with anything?"

Bob explained: "Because the pointer points to Fish-Man Island, and Fish-Man Island is directly under the Red Earth Continent, and there is still a big deviation from the position of the Chambord Islands, so some ships may miss the Chambord Islands and sail directly

Go to the vicinity of the Red Earth Continent, and then follow the signs to find the Chambord Islands, so it won’t be surprising no matter which direction the ship comes from.”

It seems... makes some sense? Zhang Da also raised his telescope again to observe the ship getting closer and closer: "I always feel like something is wrong."

The hull looks a bit tattered, which is normal. It is natural for damage to occur while sailing on the Grand Line.

There seems to be a cannon on the bow of the ship, which is reasonable. Even a merchant ship must have some ability to protect itself.

The problem is that the writing on the sail is really ugly, and it looks like the words have just been written with paint, and the paint has flowed down in small strands before it dries.

The other person standing on the bow of the boat has a big belly and small legs. He looks slovenly. The suit he is wearing can't even fasten the bottom button. He also has a pistol on his belt. It feels like he is wearing someone else's clothes.

, there is a bit of a businessman in him.

After Zhang Da also told this, Bob and the others also hesitated: "Could this be a merchant ship disguised as a pirate, right?"

"Although it is rare, it is not impossible to pretend to be a merchant ship and approach the island, and then launch a raid or something... Why don't we leave here first."

Bob suggested that whether it was true or not, he should withdraw first. His retirement life had just begun and he didn't want it to end just like that.

Several other old men also agreed.

Zhang Daye didn't want to leave, though. Pirates who knew how to use such tricks would probably not be much better. For example, Creek from the East China Sea said, "You guys, please leave first. Let's stay and see how good these people are.

Maybe you can even earn a bounty."

Bob advised: "Brother, don't be impulsive. If it's really a pirate, it won't be that easy to deal with. It's better to call the navy over."

"It's okay, we can handle it, Uncle Bob, don't forget how I got the money to buy the tavern. You guys should go quickly, don't get accidentally hurt later." Zhang Da also urged. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't confirm his identity, he

I want to let Artoria use the light cannon directly to test its power.

"Brother, if you can't hold it anymore, remember to call me. As soon as the phone rings, I'll call the navy for you immediately." Bob didn't say that he was coming to save people or anything. He knew his own strength and was friendly.

Not to that extent, a few words of advice are enough.

This is not some bloody romance drama. The six old men left without saying much nonsense and did not even bother to pack up the pile of fishing things.

Anyway, if you run out of fishing gear, you can buy it again, but your life is more important. Rather than packing these things, it is better to go home and take valuable things with you to a safe place.

After the six people left, Rui Mengmeng asked uneasily: "Boss, do you want to fight?"

Zhang Da also said: "If it is a pirate, I will fight it. Are you afraid?"

Rui Mengmeng shook her head, rolled up her sleeves and flexed her arms: "Don't be afraid, I am a man who wants to become a super god king... um... a woman, so I won't be scared by this kind of thing!"

Of course Artoria was not afraid, and just asked: "How can we determine whether they are pirates?"

Zhang Da also thought about it and took out a rice cooker from the inventory. After opening it, there were more than a dozen wads of banknotes inside. It seemed like a lot, but in fact, the total was only more than two million beli.

Since the guests in the tavern did not always pay with 10,000 Baileys bills, and Zhang Da did not go out of his way to change them, there were many 1,000 and 5,000 Baileys bills among them, so he just had the two million Baileys.

The momentum of 20 million.

After pouring the money out and piling it into a small pile, Zhang Daye said with a smile: "We are fishing for law enforcement and pretending to be dividing the money. If we are businessmen, we will probably sell goods to us. If we are pirates, we probably can't stand this temptation."

Tom touched his chin, took out a stack of green bills and put them into the pile of money to contribute to Zhang Daye's fishing career, then folded his hands and waited for praise.

That was the private money he took with him when he ran away from home. It must be worthless in this world, so it would be better to use it as a prop.

"Haha, Tom, you have a lot of ideas." Zhang Da was also amused by him and touched the cat's head, "Does this count as using counterfeit money?"

Tom rubbed Zhang Tatsuya's palm and sat on the ground to build a pyramid with banknotes. Unfortunately, the money was still too little, not enough for him to use his artistic talents.

Zhang Da also took Artoria and Rui Mengmeng and started a show of sharing the money. You would give a pile of money and I would give a pile of money. After dividing the money, I would put it back for Tom to stack the blocks.

After they were piled up, Zhang Da also split the money. This was the most extravagant game he had ever played in his life.

After waiting for a while, the boat slowly approached. Due to the water depth, they parked the boat a little further away, and about thirty people rowed several small boats to the shore.

Captain Brack planned to get close to them with thousands of tricks, and asked Zhang Daye to introduce the situation to them and lead the way, but he was stopped by one of his subordinates.

"Captain, look what that is!"

Brak looked over and couldn't take his eyes away at once, so much money!

A man, two women and a kitten are sharing money here? Isn’t this an opportunity to make a fortune right at your doorstep?

Brak waved his hand: "Surround us!"

All his subordinates had the same idea as him, this was money falling from the sky, so they stepped forward eagerly.

Zhang Da also looked at this group of ferocious-looking people with "fear": "What are you going to do? I'm going to call someone!"

"In a place like this, even if you scream your throat out, no one will come to save you!" Brak pulled out the pistol on his belt, "I am a big pirate with a bounty of 76 million. If you are smart, just put down the money. It's okay.

Give you a way to survive!"

"There is a bounty of 76 million!" Zhang Da also felt that he could not continue acting because his smile could hardly be suppressed——

"That's great!"
