Pirates: The first partner is Tom Cat

Dark forces are not mentioned much in the anime. Zhang Da only remembers a few big bosses from the dark world appearing at Auntie's tea party.

Of course, the one who impressed me the most was Stussy, the Queen of Happy Street. It was definitely not because she was beautiful, but because she was an agent of CP0.

As for the other few who didn't have many roles, he treated them as minor characters and didn't even remember their names. Naturally, he didn't know if they had anything to do with the lawless area of ​​Shampoo.

Herse happily took a sip of the wine Zhang Daye poured for him. The pleasure of drinking for free made him want to stop.

As for revealing information, for him it is equivalent to bragging about his knowledge. If he can exchange for some wine, he will make a lot of money:

"Speaking of what kind of dark forces there are, there must be some in Happy Street."

"Happy Street is in Shampoo Place?"

"You can't say that. The business on Happy Street usually involves casinos and other shady entertainment venues. The headquarters is not here, but there are definitely branches." Herse put the emphasis on the word 'other', always feeling that there was a lot of information.

Looks very big.

"Oh, that's true." Zhang Da also remembered that Lei Li often lost money in gambling, and casinos often involved other transactions.

"Not to mention anything else, the shadow of the loan shark king Du Felder is definitely indispensable in the casino. And those who can't repay the loan sharks may have their entire families sold."

Zhang Da also frowned. Anyone who owed loan sharks on this island would definitely be sold. The gamblers themselves did not deserve sympathy, but their families were really too innocent.

"When it comes to human trafficking, it probably involves the 'Big Hand Mortician' Piecro. I heard that in addition to being a killer and selling slaves, he is also involved in selling organs..."

At this point, Herse retched: "It's better not to mention him. When I mention him, the wine becomes harder to drink. Apart from them, there is the 'hidden master' Gilbertson in the warehousing industry."

"Can the warehousing industry be considered a dark force?" Zhang Daye asked casually, and then immediately figured it out, "I'm afraid it's not an ordinary warehousing, right?"

"Yes, of course it involves the warehousing industry of various prohibited items and smuggled items. He is called a concealment master because no one knew where he put the items before the transaction."

"So in addition to pirates, bounty hunters and gangsters, the lawless zone also hides super complex dark forces..."

"This is natural. This should be one of the reasons why the Navy has not directly taken action to eliminate illegal areas."

"My knowledge has improved, thank you." Zhang Da also thought about whether the human trafficking shop he bombed last time might also be the industry of some big boss.

Herse waved his hand indifferently and said with a smile: "These are not secrets. It is easy to find out. It is my profit to exchange you for a glass of wine."

"Oh, that's right, then just pretend that I didn't say what I just said, 'It's my treat'." Zhang Da also tried to imitate Garp and activate the withdrawal fruit.

"Pfft..." Herse turned his head and spit out a mouthful of wine, shouting, "Don't do this!"

Tom, who was reading next to him, was lying innocently and was sprayed with drink for no apparent reason.

"Teacher Tom." Rui Mengmeng took out a towel to help Tom wipe his body. She felt that Teacher Tom seemed to be a little unlucky today. In the afternoon, he was inexplicably caught by a crab, eaten by a sea beast, and hit by Cammy. Now he was killed shortly after taking a bath.

The man sprayed wine all over himself.

Tom stood up, stretched out his hand to push Rui Mengmeng away, walked up to Herse, drank the remaining wine in the bottle in one gulp before he apologized, and then sprayed it all on Herse's face.

Herse had mixed feelings and didn't know whether he should continue to apologize.

Zhang Da also knew that Herse was unintentional and did not want to make things worse. He stretched out his hand and handed him a towel: "I'm sorry, Tom, he's not... uh..."

Zhang Da also got stuck, Tom did it on purpose.

"Haha, it's okay. We're even, aren't we? I sprayed the cat pianist with wine. I wonder if he'll be beaten when I go out." Herse took the towel and wiped his face, then turned to Tom and asked

, "I just wanted to apologize. Well, Mr. Tom shouldn't blame me, right?"

Tom had returned to his original position and resumed his leisurely side-lying posture, and nodded happily after hearing Herse's words.

He is a generous cat. Although you sprayed me, I won't blame you as long as you let me spray you back.

Even if the matter was revealed, Zhang Da opened a bottle of wine and handed it to him, and Herse happily took it to brag to others.

Isn't it worth bragging that you can get a stingy little boss to invite you back?

…

After closing, Zhang Da also placed tea, snacks, and fruit plates on the bar, and summoned the tavern members to hold a brief meeting.

For Artoria, the difference was not big, she just changed her stool and continued eating.

Rui Mengmeng sent the last tableware into the kitchen to soak, washed her hands and came over to sit down.

Instead of sitting on a stool, Tom was lying on the bar, supporting his head with one hand and chewing an apple kacha kacha in the other. Every time I saw Tom eating, no matter what he ate, it tasted particularly delicious.

The reason why the bar was used instead of the wine table was because Zhang Da was worried that having a meeting next to the round table would bring back bad memories of Artoria.

"Today's topic is about whether we should continue our plan to combat human traffickers." Zhang Da also spoke first, "You may have heard the chat I had with Herse before. The situation in the illegal zone seems to be very complicated.

"

After speaking, Zhang Daye glanced at each other one by one, first of all Tom.

Tom finished chewing an apple, threw the core behind him, hit the edge of the trash can, bounced, and fell into the bucket. Then he picked up a banana, carefully peeled the banana peel into four pieces, and continued to eat.

Seemingly noticing Zhang Daye's gaze, Tom stopped chewing and handed the banana in his hand forward, as if asking Zhang Daye if he wanted to eat it.

Zhang Daye: "..."

Well, I can’t count on this one, the next one is Rui Mengmeng.

"Huh? Me?" Rui Mengmeng waved her hands in a panic, "Boss, it's up to you to decide. It's not a bad thing, right? I'm an employee. The boss just tells me what to do."

Zhang Daye didn't know whether he should be happy or not. He explained: "I think this should be done, but isn't it dangerous? If I expose it, I might be beaten to death, so I'm asking for your help."

My opinion, please think about it carefully."

Rui Mengmeng thought for a while and said seriously: "It doesn't matter. If you want to save people from bad guys, how can you not take any risks? Moreover, didn't I say that you, boss, are the weakest in the tavern? You dare to

If you go, I won’t be afraid, don’t worry!”

Zhang Daye: "..."

What you said makes sense, but I really want to hit someone!
