Pirates: The first partner is Tom Cat

The Employment Security Agency is also known as the Population Auction House. Because of its unique role and status on this island, few people have any bad intentions there.

Of course, the Occupational Security Office has to deal with lawless guys like pirates and traffickers every day. It also has a certain defense force. Ordinary small forces who want to cause trouble will be killed immediately.

In addition, it has the support of the bosses of the underground world behind it. It may be the kings of the underground world who appeared at Auntie's tea party, or it may be others.

If someone dares to take action against the human auction, it means that the person doing it is either a fool or wants to get involved in the underground world's transactions.

As for who did it, it was a coincidence. Someone mentioned that they saw a strange ship nearby, which looked like a flamingo.

Putting these clues together, Zhang Daye immediately figured out - Doflamingo had come to cause trouble in the Grand Line, and had already reached the Chambord Islands, and the population auction house might change hands.

But there was one thing he couldn't figure out:

Doflamingo's pirate group has been operating in the North Sea, and occasionally they are chased around by Lieutenant Commander Tsuru.

If he crosses the windless zone from the North Sea, he can directly enter the new world in the second half of the Grand Line. Doflamingo and the others should have this strength.

And he doesn’t want to be the Pirate King. There is no need to go all the way around the world by walking to the Upside Down Mountain, so why would he come to Shampoo Land? The profit of a mere population auction house should not be enough to attract this ambitious person, right?

Unable to figure it out, Zhang Da also decided to stay away if he saw them.

Doflamingo's ultimate goal is to destroy the world. From an ordinary person's perspective, it is right to regard him as a madman. For a villain with such strength, strategy, and lofty ideals, it is better not to kill him until he can be easily crushed.

It would be better to have a relationship with him.

The guests in the tavern don't think as much as Zhang Daye. No matter how big something happens in the illegal zone, it is just bragging rights for them. If there is a big pirate in the world, they can only worry and curse.

The navy is incompetent, so it's time to eat and drink.

Occasionally, some world government officials who are on vacation come to sit in the pub, and they don't take it seriously when they hear the laughter and curses. They are used to it, and they may even chime in and curse when they meet a familiar drinking buddy.

After finishing the business at noon, Zhang Da also remembered that he still had important things to do.

That was the first time Rui Mengmeng experienced a battle, and she saw blood. She had not yet been given psychological counseling. Although Zhang Da did not know how to do it, he should have cared for her anyway.

So, Rui Mengmeng sat obediently on the round stool, with her upper body straight, her knees together, her hands neatly placed on her legs, holding the teacup in both hands.

Opposite her was a long table with three chairs. Tom, Zhang Tatsuya, and Artoria were lined up, with their left hands flat on the table and their right hands holding their chins, staring straight at Rui.

Mengmeng, each has a cup of tea in front of them.

Five seconds later, the three of them simultaneously moved to their left hands to hold their chins, their right hands flat, and their fingertips lightly tapped on the table.

Oh, yes, because the chair is too low and the long table is too high, Tom puts four cookbooks he bought before on the chair, as well as books such as an illustrated book of marine life and a small encyclopedia of common land creatures, so that he can smoothly put his arms on the table

superior.

Rui Mengmeng felt uncomfortable being looked at by the three of them. She carefully wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere: "Um...is this what you mean by being invited to tea?"

"Ha, it seems a bit similar, maybe it needs a desk lamp." Although it is an old joke, only Zhang Daye understood what it meant when he heard it. The atmosphere was a bit strange because of his manipulation.

"Then let's get straight to the point. Mengmeng, you didn't seem to be in the right state during the battle this morning?" Zhang Da was also responsible for asking questions. Tom and Artoria next to him were just the atmosphere team most of the time.

"Is there anything wrong with my state?" Rui Mengmeng tried to recall the battle process, blushing a little, as if she had been shouting words like 'It's so scary', 'It's so scary', 'Oh my god, don't, don't, don't come here'.

Isn't it too embarrassing and will be disliked by the boss?

That's so wrong. Although this girl looked like a frightened rabbit when the battle first started, she acted fiercely and decisively when she struck. She screamed and scared me to death. She raised her hand and struck straight for the vital point with her sword, with a panicked expression.

As soon as he appeared, he had already rushed behind the enemy and stabbed him in the back...

Kizaru's mouth was so scary that he was just pretending, but Rui Mengmeng was really scared. She said the most cowardly words and fought the hardest.

When she was finishing up the person injured by Tom, she didn't hesitate at all. There was a little blood on her face at that time, and she looked a little bit - mad, that's the word that should be used to describe it.

That's why Zhang Daye put on such a big show, worried that she might have some mental problems.

"So did you feel any discomfort afterwards? For example, after killing so many people, you were afraid of yourself, etc."

Rui Mengmeng thought for a while: "No, right? Boss, didn't you say those are bad people, and if I don't kill them, they will kill me. Does this count as self-defense? I heard that self-defense is not illegal."

"Uh... It's not illegal, so it's better to say it's a good job."

After chatting for a while, Zhang Da also found that Rui Mengmeng's attitude was extremely good, but in comparison, he seemed a bit pretentious.

"No, no, no, no, no, no..."

The sound of the phone bug startled Tom. He almost fell asleep listening to the messy conversation, but now he suddenly woke up and fell from his chair.

The books stacked high lost their balance and fell down, burying Tom.

Tom's head was wandering as he emerged from the pile of books, holding an open book on his head.

Were there so many books on the chair just now?

Zhang Daye temporarily put aside his doubts and answered the phone: "Hello, this is Daye's tavern."

As soon as the other party spoke, the phone bug immediately displayed a 'caller ID' and grew a beard: "Brother Tatsuya, this is Gragas. I will deliver goods near you in the afternoon. I want to ask if you want to replenish the goods there.

, I’ll take it over for you by the way.”

Zhang Da also calculated the inventory and said: "Then let's send it over together. The quantity will remain the same."

"No problem." Gragas agreed. A quick trip would save a lot of things.

"By the way, is there any good wine suitable as a gift? Please bring me two bottles. It doesn't matter if it's more expensive."

Zhang Da also remembered that it was time to go to Goodman's house. It was obviously not far away, but he had not gone back to see him for a month after moving out. He took such good care of him back then, so we should not forget the kindness, right?

"Haha, leave it to me!" Gragas hung up the phone with a smile.
