Pirates: The first companion is Tom Cat

Facts have proved that Zhang Daye's advertising was pretty good, and the pub was much more lively at night than at noon.

When there were the most people, Rui Mengmeng was too busy. Zhang Daye and Shark Chili both made guest appearances as waiters, and Artoria and Tom worked as cashiers for a while.

After finally having a moment of leisure, Zhang Da also wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead - such a little labor is really not enough to make him sweat now: "No wonder he wants to be on the hot search, the exposure It’s just a small amount of money.”

"What is the trending topic the little boss is talking about?" Someone familiar with the topic came up to chat after hearing the new words.

"I said that the weather has been getting hotter and hotter recently, and food will go rancid if stored for a long time, and we never sell spoiled food." Zhang Da also responded casually.

The man picked his ears and said, "You're lying. I didn't drink too much. That's definitely not what I heard just now!"

"People who drink too much say they don't drink too much."

"Eh...it seems like this is true. Did I drink too much?"

Zhang Da was also very pleased. People in this world are so easy to fool.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter. I heard that someone saw the little boss beating someone with a folding stool made of gold. Is it true?"

When asked this question, many people pricked up their ears.

"Yes." Zhang Da also nodded and reached under the bar and lifted the folding stool, "This is it."

"So...so dazzling!" A group of people suddenly gathered around.

Zhang Da also looked at the person who first spoke to him: "Want to touch it?"

"But...is it okay?" The man was a little excited.

Zhang Da also tempted: "Do you just want to touch me?"

"Could it be that?" The man's face was filled with anticipation, and the onlookers were also gearing up.

"That's it! I can lend it to you and you can sit on it for a while." Before he could show his ecstatic expression, Zhang Da also added, "One thousand beli per second."

The onlookers immediately complained: "It's so expensive! It's billed by the second!"

"How expensive is it? Most people will never see a stool made entirely of gold once in their lifetime. Moreover, it was made by the craftsmen of Fish-Man Island. Maybe the blacksmith is a mermaid?"

Zhang Da also looked like he would earn something just by sitting down. He suspected that he had watched too many advertisements and learned some tricks.

Bang, this man couldn't help but slap a five thousand beli bill on the table: "I want to experience it for five seconds, and the worst I can do is drink a bottle of wine!"

"No problem." Zhang Daye accepted the money readily and put down the shared gold folding stool in his hand, feeling like a business wizard.

The man swallowed, carefully touched the stool, then sat on it with an intoxicated look and breathed a long sigh of relief: "Ah~"

Sitting on the bench feels like sitting on the toilet! This little expression disgusted Zhang Daye.

"Okay, it's time." When the five seconds were up, Zhang Da also kicked him out in disgust.

The man showed reluctance, but he didn't dare to cause trouble in the tavern, so he had to stand up obediently and walked out calmly. He would have more bragging material tomorrow.

Seeing him like this, the onlookers couldn't bear it anymore, and one by one they took out banknotes of different denominations:

"I want to experience it too!"

"I'm coming too!"

In just ten minutes, Zhang Da earned almost 300,000 Baileys, leaving aside the time spent on substitutions and bargaining.

He didn't put the folding stool away until no one signed up again. Zhang Da also secretly sighed that these people were of good quality and none of them even thought about grabbing the stool and running away.

"It's amazing, Brother Tatsuya. It's a shame that you can think of making money in this way." Old Bob, the original owner of the tavern, came to the tavern at some time and seemed to be watching from behind for a while.

"Uncle Bob, why are you here? Actually, I didn't expect so many people to be willing to spend this money." Zhang Daye said hello and poured him a glass of wine.

"I have nothing to do. I came here to take a stroll. It's not as big a noise as you, brother." Bob explained the reason for his visit and said, "Maybe it's because this year's life is much better than before. , everyone doesn’t mind this little money.”

Zhang Da also wondered: "Is there any difference this year?"

Bob said: "This year, the Shampoo Islands are significantly more peaceful than before, so the income from all walks of life is good."

Is it my fault? Zhang Da also flattered himself for a moment, and then immediately realized something was wrong. He had only been in this world for more than three months, and he had only managed a dozen or so human traffickers. He didn't catch many pirates, so his influence shouldn't be that big.

Zhang Da also made two relatively reliable guesses: "Is it because General Kizaru took office? Or is it because the navy stationed in Xiangbo is stronger than before?"

"No, General Kizaru took office recently. As for the garrison here, it has always been the same." Bob denied, and did not go into details about what happened, but mentioned another reason, "More The big possibility is because of the 'Devil's Triangle'."

"Devil's Triangle?" Hearing this name, Zhang Daye first thought of the Bermuda Triangle, and then he remembered that this is the world of One Piece, so he should be talking about the place where Moonlight Moria in the Shichibukai Sea is located.

"Yes, it is a sea area shrouded in thick fog all year round. If you are not careful, you will deviate from the route. Every year, many ships disappear there, and this year there are especially many lost in that sea area."

"There are rumors that terrible monsters have appeared there. There have been no less than a hundred reports of missing ships this year."

Zhang Da also thought about it. It was nearly ten years ago that Moria was defeated by Kaido, and it has been a long time since he became Shichibukai. It is only now that he is ready to start again?

Listening to Bob talking about the mysterious sea area and the terrifying monsters, Tom was already scared, but he couldn't help being curious and wanted to continue listening.

"It is said that empty ghost ships, moving skeletons, and strange singing sounds have appeared there..."

This Zhang Da is also familiar, Brooke, a very funny lecherous skeleton, should be drifting with the current in that sea area, entertaining himself, his appearance can easily be regarded as a ghost or something like that.

Picking up the shivering Tom, Zhang Da also thought about whether to fish him out after going to sea and let him meet the whale Rab.

"So, should most of the credit for the decrease in pirates in the Shampoo Islands be attributed to the Devil's Triangle?"

Bob thought for a while: "If you have to say credit, you can't really talk about it. After all, it's not just pirate ships that have disappeared, but many ordinary merchant ships and passenger ships have also disappeared."

"That's true." After all, Moria is not a good person who punishes evil and promotes good. Zhang Da also looked at the empty wine bottle in Bob's hand, "Sincerely 7600 Baileys."

Old Bob said dissatisfied: "Huh? Why don't you even treat me to a glass of wine after we haven't seen each other for so long?"

Zhang Da also said calmly: "Familiarity comes with familiarity, business comes with business, and no penny should be lost. This is what you taught me before."

Old Bob: ...

Does this count as cheating yourself?

…

For most people in the Chambord Islands, the day was just like any other.

It's just that people who went out from a certain tavern that night started talking about strange topics:

"I sat down for 5 seconds today and it felt great!"

"Haha, I have a full 10 seconds!"

"Huh? I only have 3 seconds..."

Passers-by always felt something was wrong, but they didn't know why or what was going on with these people.
