Pirates: The first companion is Tom Cat

This small captain seems to have a good status, and he quickly prepared a table of meals for the guests. Maybe he himself wants to taste the wine of the great route quickly.

Shark Chili told these soldiers some anecdotes about the great voyage, while skillfully persuading them to drink. Brook followed suit for a while and then began to play music to add to the fun.

Rui Mengmeng has quick eyes and quick hands, and her strong strength allows her to use her working experience as a waiter to the extreme, and anyone's wine glass can be filled immediately when it is empty.

The atmosphere during the banquet was very harmonious, and the soldiers were so happy that they didn't notice that Artoria and Tom had secretly eaten most of their appetizers.

Seeing that these people's cheeks were blushing, Zhang Da also started to ask questions like a curious baby. Whenever they shared any valuable news, Ye Yan would brag about it without integrity, and then Shark pepper continued to persuade them to drink while they were happy.

After one operation, these soldiers said everything that should be said and should not be said, from the morning and evening work to the changing of the guard time, even how many things the transport ship brought each time, and how many guards were on it. .

The watchtower has five floors in total, and each floor is not small, but each floor only accommodates thirty to fifty people, and the space is quite generous, probably because there is no need to consider land prices or labor costs.

According to the introduction of this enthusiastic team leader, there are more than 3,000 prisoners in their charge, but only 200 guards. They are divided into several shifts to take turns in charge of on-site supervision, watchtower duty, and night inspections.

Generally speaking, the work is very easy. Except for the occasional disobedience of the newcomers who are sent over every time, there are very few people making trouble. The long labor and harsh punishment make many people forget the option of resisting.

Even if there are troublemakers, they will become one of the few entertainments for the guards. Other entertainment methods are nothing more than drinking, playing cards, and gambling when they are not on duty. The status of prisoners is almost equivalent to that of slaves.

The supplies here include building materials, food, clothing, etc., which are purchased and transported from the nearby islands by a certain department of the world government on a regular basis. Coincidentally, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow is the day when the transport ship will deliver the supplies.

When asked about the source of labor here, the team leader said that Zhang Daye and the others knew about the same, that they were prisoners from all over the world and people from non-member countries.

Most of the labor sources from non-joined countries are countries that have been attacked by enemies or destroyed by pirates. The world government would not go out of its way to subjugate a country for the sake of a few workers, but Zhang Da also speculated that it would be possible to secretly provide a little support or instigate something.

Wendy and Xia Lulu watched in admiration as their brothers and sisters cooperated with each other in the miraculous operation of gathering information from each other, thinking hard about whether they could be of any help.

Perona propped her elbows on the table, resting her chin in one hand and despising the IQ of these soldiers.

It's so stupid, after three glasses of wine, everything goes out, and some young people even think about when they will save enough money to go back to their hometown to get married. The black-hearted boss seems to have said, what kind of flag is this thing called in the story, right?

After Zhang Da also asked all the things he wanted to know, there was no food on the table, and the soldiers were all too drunk, but Shark Chili was very good at drinking, and he has been drinking with them since the beginning until now. nothing.

When Zhang Da also proposed to walk around, the team leader also dazedly got them something equivalent to a pass, and with this thing, they could almost pass through this area without hindrance.

These soldiers are very dedicated, even if they drink too much, they still insist on going to work and refuse to go back to rest. Zhang Da also greeted them casually and left the watchtower.

"Let's ask the banner demon to find out what's going on inside the watchtower at night." Zhang Da also said to Ye Yan, at least find out where the labor register and keys are.

Ye Yan nodded. It was too easy for the Banner Demon to sneak in at night. According to Artoria's perception, there was no one who could fight here, and naturally no one could find the Banner Demon sneaking in.

Rui Mengmeng asked: "What should we do next?"

Zhang Da also said, "Go to the construction site and study how to separate criminals from ordinary people. If we save people, we have to wait until the transport ship arrives tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

As for where to let these people go in the future, Zhang Da had already thought about it, and let them go to the island of Shuangyue Village. The area there was large enough, and it was not just a village of Shuangyue Village.

The most important thing is that the island does not seem to be under the jurisdiction of the world government, or the jurisdiction is very small. Even Dorag once took the people rescued by the revolutionary army from the Kingdom of Goa to resupply there.

When the time comes, let those who are willing to go home find a way to go home, and those who are not willing to go back can also build another village. Koshiro's character and strength should be able to help these people settle down without worrying about them causing trouble.

Of course, you have to find a way to cover up the whereabouts of these people, and you can't let the pursuers find them easily. The main reason is that you can't cheat Koshiro and his family just because of your whim, so you have to be more cautious.

The construction site is some distance away, so Zhang Da also took out an artifact——Tom's classic car. (obtained by lottery in Chapter 36)

Because the seat was not big enough, Tom built a car body on the spot and connected it to the back, so that everyone could ride on it.

"Are you sure this thing won't fall apart?" Ye Yan looked at the classic car that looked older than his grandfather, his eyes were full of doubts, it would be better to ask a Chaos Beast or a giant shark to take it out instead.

"Let's try it again. I haven't taken it out since I got it. Anyway, I can't fall to my death. Get in the car!" Zhang Da also sat in the driver's seat excitedly, squeezed the old-fashioned horn, and let out a 'beep! 'the sound of.

Others sat in the trunk with a look of novelty. They may have seen a car, but they have never seen such a classic style.

Zhang Da also held the steering wheel with both hands, and shouted happily: "The old driver is starting!"

Then, he was dumbfounded, how did the car start?

In the end, Tom was replaced to successfully start the classic car.

I don't know whether Tom has forgotten the sad past, or it hasn't happened yet. When he saw this car, he didn't feel any sadness at all, but became a driver very happily.

Chuck, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug...

This is the sound that this car makes when it is 'normally driving'. Every time it makes a sound, the body will deform exaggeratedly. Tom's body bumps up and down with the driver's seat, but he is still driving very happily.

The strange thing is that the people sitting in the back of the car did not feel the bumps at all. Seeing that the wheels of the old car in front were about to collapse and fly out, there was nothing wrong with the back of the car, and the speed was not bad. Not slow.

Xia Lulu tried her best to raise her hands to cover her ears, and complained, "It's so noisy, won't this car explode suddenly?"

Wendy slapped her nose with her hand: "And there's an unpleasant smell."

Perona asked dissatisfied: "Why do you have to use this vehicle? I just saw that the body and four wheels are separated! It feels so dangerous."

Brooke asked curiously: "Yohohoho~ Is this the same tool as the sea train? It feels louder than the sea train."

Artoria didn't think much of it, and even wanted to try driving it herself.

"Didn't I think this car is fun? I'll take you with a better car next time." Zhang Da also has a sports car in his hand, which is the one driven by Tom's nemesis Black Cat Butch, which can crush classic cars into small cakes Cake's super extended red sports car, I plan to take it out for a walk next time.

In this way, Tom drove for almost an hour before everyone arrived near the construction site.

The scene here is completely different from the watchtower just now. Countless laborers are chanting and dragging huge stones with ropes. Everyone is wearing a uniform style of prison uniform with the words respective numbers.

In addition to scaffolding, several tower cranes are fixed near the bridge head under construction.

Zhang Da also rubbed his eyes to make sure that he was not mistaken, it was the tower crane.

At intervals, there would be a guard urging him with a long whip in his hand, and whoever moved slower would be whipped immediately.

Everyone couldn't bear to see such a scene. It was only because Zhang Da had specifically warned them that they could not do anything immediately.

As they approached the construction site, the sound of chug chug caught the attention of the guards.

"What are you doing?" The guard only paid attention to Zhang Daye's identities, and didn't seem surprised by the classic car.

Zhang Da also quickly got off the car and took out various certificates to explain his background.

"Tour group?" The man looked at the certificate issued by his own person, his attitude improved, and he wondered, "What's so interesting about this kind of ghost place? In the sea...do you want me to lend you a whip to play with? Anyway, some old guys won't live for a few days."

"No need, we just took a look." Zhang Da also found a reason, "I heard that this is a 700-year-old project, and many vicious criminals have been tamed by you, so I am a little curious."

"Hahaha, there's nothing wrong with that. No matter how vicious the criminal is, we can only submit to him here!" The guard seemed to be very proud of this matter, "I see that guy, number 9527, he is The murderer from the great route, and that big guy, originally had a bounty of 8 million!"

"Hiss~" Zhang Da also gasped.

The guards thought he was frightened, but in fact Zhang Da was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that the prisoners from the great route would be sent here on purpose, and he didn't expect to meet an acquaintance by such a coincidence.

That's right, the one who offered a reward of 8 million is the 'Machete' Sward, who allowed Zhang Daye and Tom to obtain the initial capital to start a business in this world.

Is this considered meeting old acquaintances in a foreign land?

I haven't seen him for more than half a year, and this elder brother has worn out a lot. For a while, Zhang Da also felt a little emotional. At that time, he could only be defeated by Tom. Now Zhang Da also said that he was being modest if he could fight ten times.

As for the one who offered a reward of 500,000 yuan, he can barely be considered an acquaintance. Zhang Da also remembered that his name should be Hyde, and that was the first bounty-offering criminal recognized by Shark Pepper after using the sleep learning function for the first time.

He can't remember how much the bounty was, anyway, he was also a person who had contributed to his money saving plan at that time.

If these two are here, does it mean that other pirates caught by him may also appear here?

Zhang Da also made the calculations. From Chambord to the East China Sea, he has not caught many well-known pirates, but the unknown bounty criminals and pirate minions add up to three or four hundred. Among the three thousand laborers, there should be Wouldn't one tenth of them be familiar faces?

"Are there any devil fruit capable users here?" Zhang Da also didn't see the familiar red nose for the time being, so he asked casually.

"Ability person? How is that possible." The guard was much more knowledgeable than ordinary people from Donghai. He said, "Ability persons will be sent to the deep sea prison. If you want to see it, you probably won't have a chance."

Zhang Da also continued to ask: "Then what kind of prisoner will be sent here? The reward of 8 million is already high in the East China Sea, right? Don't you worry about them making trouble?"

"If you offer a bounty, the maximum will not exceed 10 million Baileys. You don't have to worry about making troubles. Those kind of people only give one rice ball a day, and it's fine if they don't starve to death. It doesn't matter if they make troubles."

After answering the question solemnly, the guard did not forget to brag about himself: "There was once a prisoner who offered a reward of more than 9 million Baileys for disobedience, and I kicked him down and beat him severely. "

"This lord is really too strong. It only takes one move to solve the pirate with a bounty close to 10 million. He is my idol!" Ye Yan may have been too involved in persuading him just now, so he praised him casually.

"Haha, you are very good at talking." The guard was so happy that he almost couldn't find Bei, so he threw the whip in his hand to Ye Yan, "Okay, you can go wherever you want to visit, and you can whip any laborer if you don't like it. If you dare to resist, come to me, and I will hang him up and beat you!"

"Thank you idol! Please sign me!"

"Over there, don't be lazy!" The guard originally planned to continue to supervise the work, and roared, but immediately turned his head when he heard Ye Yan's words, and a bright smile bloomed for a second, "No problem! Where is the sign?"

"Just the cuffs, so I can see the idol's words at any time." Ye Yan's expression was so sincere that he almost had the word "worship" written on his face.

...

After getting away from the guards, Zhang Da also complained: "Shouldn't you be so exaggerated, did you secretly learn hypnotism?"

Ye Yan had a successful smile on his face: "It's just basic acting skills, and it's also part of performance art. It's easy to pretend to be a fanatic."

Before saying anything like this, Shark Pepper said: "Boss Tatsuya, there are indeed many familiar faces here."

Walking around the construction site, he had already seen more than a dozen small bounty criminals who had been caught before. They probably recognized Shark Pepper, but they didn't dare to be distracted and say anything.

Zhang Da also nodded, and he also recognized a few: "Should I say that these people are pitiful or deserve it?"
