Pirates: The first companion is Tom Cat

Not only Rui Mengmeng felt familiar, but everyone except Wendy and Xia Lulu felt familiar. They have seen this island before, but it is not in the sea, but in the sky.

This is Melville, one of the islands brought to the East China Sea by the Golden Lion.

The most distinctive features on the island are the highly poisonous trees called Daft-Green and the I.Q plants that can detoxify.

At that time, the navy entrusted Yixiao to help transport the island. The residents on the island were unwilling to return to the dangerous great route, so the island was left in the East China Sea, and it was placed near the town of Shields where the 153rd branch of the navy is located.

Perona asked: "Isn't it? I remember that when the uncle moved the island, he returned the same day. Why did it take us so long to sail?"

"Because we didn't go in this direction at the beginning, but later we were looking for treasure and playing, and we made a big circle in the East China Sea." Shark Pepper explained, "If we want, as long as we go east by south for about fifteen Sailing in the direction of 100 degrees, you can return to the ice-covered sea area in three days."

"This can be regarded as a revisit of the old place, let's go and have a look, I don't know how the villagers on that island live here, although we are familiar with them and have never met." Zhang Da also remembered, Although everyone had fought against the golden lion for these villagers, they had never even seen their faces. The details were learned from the Banner Demon who was in charge of the investigation at that time.

Perona enthusiastically told Wendy about the glorious past of parkour on this island. It was so exciting to ride a mammoth and run around the island with a large group of enemies.

Perona said: "The mammoth was later released by us. I don't know how he is now."

"It should be dead." Ye Yan dressed himself up as a big red apple today, with a brown hood on his head, which looked like a stem of the apple, and there was a green leaf on the side, and his limbs were exposed. Outside, it looks like an apple has become fine.

Ignoring Perona's dissatisfied expression, Ye Yan explained: "At that time, the navy said that it would help the villagers hunt down the mutated beasts on the island, and that mammoth was probably also within the hunting range."

Perona was discouraged: "Why is this..."

Zhang Da also casually added a knife: "It's a pity, I knew it would be better for us to bake it ourselves."

Perona roared: "Are you a devil!"

"I'm not, I really don't know what a mammoth tastes like." Zhang Da also saw the regretful expressions of Arturia and Tom, and wondered if he should try roasting a drought jack next time.

While speaking, everyone drove the Amber to the side of Melville.

Melville has been connected to the original Shields Town. It looks like a big gourd in the air. The connection does not rely on building a bridge, but uses land reclamation to pave an open road. .

As for the materials for reclamation... According to Shark Pepper's diving observation, it should be some kind of huge sphere that was cut or smashed and then filled the gap between the two islands. In other words, this thing may have been a meteorite.

Zhang Da also sighed: "Uncle Yixiao's service is really thoughtful, the navy will be sorry for him if he doesn't pay him tens of millions."

Artoria asked, "Did Uncle Yixiao do this?"

"It should be to capture the meteorite in the sky with a super-wide range of knowledge, and then use the ability of the fruit of gravity to tear the meteorite off." Zhang Da also said, "Uncle Yixiao is just like those admirals, he is simply a walking natural disaster." .”

"That's amazing!" Wendy hugged Xia Lulu, showing a surprised expression. This was the second time they heard Yixiao's name. Manipulating gravity, summoning meteorites, and transporting islands is really a very powerful person, but why does sister Artoria say that he must lose every bet?

"Using meteorites to pave the road, aren't you afraid of radiation?" Ye Yan, who was wearing an apple suit, believed in science.

Zhang Da also said: "This meteorite does not necessarily have any harmful radiation."

The space in the world of One Piece is very weird. Enilo can fly directly to the moon in a golden ship, and a few small robots can also pull balloons and fly directly to the moon. Maybe there is even air on it. Therefore, after the meteorite is chopped up and placed here directly, most of it is harmless to the human body.

Shields Town and Melville each have a port, and Zhang Daye and the others chose to dock at Melville. At this time, a merchant ship was unloading, and dozens of workers were carrying packages of all sizes back and forth.

As soon as everyone got off the boat, someone came up to ask if they needed to hire a porter, but Zhang Daye refused and left disappointed.

Zhang Da also said: "It seems that although we have gained some fame, we are still far from being a household name."

"No, at least in our village, there is no one who does not know the benefactors!" A worker next to him suddenly said.

This is a middle-aged man, he doesn't look strong, his clothes are a bit worn out, especially the wear marks on his shoulders are heavy, although it is still winter, but the clothes he wears look like summer and autumn, even on his neck There is a towel for wiping sweat.

Zhang Da also looked at him suspiciously: "You are?"

The man said excitedly and with some embarrassment: "My name is Paul. I was originally a villager in Melville. I was enslaved by the golden lion Shiji for nearly ten years. I was not free until my benefactors and the navy defeated him. !"

It seems that Lieutenant Admiral Stoloberg at the time was quite honest. Although he added a little drama to the navy when he appeased the villagers, he did not erase the credit of Zhang Daye and the others.

"The one just came from Shields Town, so I don't know the benefactors, but there is no one in our village who doesn't know the Amber Tour Group!" Paul bent down excitedly, "Thank you very much for your help!"

"Oh, don't be so polite, we got a lot of rewards afterwards." Zhang Da also asked, "Are you still used to living here in Donghai?"

"It's already very good. At least you can live a good life by working hard, and your family members don't have to worry about being attacked by wild animals. It's all thanks to the benefactor's help!" Paul shouted one benefactor at a time, thanking each benefactor, "Please Be sure to let us treat our benefactors well once!"

"You don't need to spend money on this, and you still have a job here." Zhang Da also politely declined, he didn't care if he entertained or not, he just went back to the nearby Shields Town to eat a few streets, there is no need to delay others' money support family.

Paul didn't care and said: "It's okay, it's time to go back today, but my family's conditions are average, please don't dislike it, benefactor!"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and finally felt that the hospitality was hard to give up, so they just went to his house to sit and learn about the current situation on the island.

A group of more than ten people left the port in a mighty manner, attracting the attention of many people. Some people were shocked when they saw Brook, but after looking at Ye Yan and Shark Pepper, they suddenly realized that it was probably the person wearing the skull mask. , It's too realistic, it's scary.

"This port was only built last month. Many people from the village come to work here because the salary is good, and people from the nearby Shields Town will also come here." Under Zhang Daye's inquiry, Paul walked introducing.

Zhang Daye and the others looked around, and it seemed that a lot of changes had taken place on the island. The original dense jungle had been cut down a lot, and a road from the port to the village was built.

The Daft-Green forest has also been felled a lot, some have been stripped of bark and look bare, and some people are still working in the forest in protective clothing.

"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooish." Wendy covered her nose, the dragon slayer magician has a sensitive nose, she couldn't stand the smell from Daft-Green.

Xia Lulu also covered her nose, "Smelling this smell makes me want to run away."

Paul smiled apologetically: "These trees were originally used to prevent wild animals from invading and protecting the village. The smell is very bad. If you walk normally, there is no problem, but if you inhale too much, it will cause poisoning. Animals will not dare to smell this smell. It's close, so the cat will be a little uncomfortable, right?"

Probably because he had seen all kinds of strange animals, he was not surprised why cats could talk.

Tom looked around and felt that he was a cat and an animal, so he shouldn't be able to stand the smell, so he covered his nose in disgust.

Zhang Da also patted Tom on the head, reached out his hand to dig behind Tom, and took out two gas masks and handed them to Wendy and Xia Lulu. The strange thing was that the size was just right.

Tom suddenly realized, and quickly put one on himself.

"What are they doing?" Zhang Da asked, pointing at those people in protective clothing.

Paul explained: "Because the ferocious beasts were hunted and killed by the navy, these poisonous trees were not only useless but also dangerous, so everyone decided to cut them down. But people in the town said that the bark of this bark could be used as medicine, so they decided to cut it down. Just sell them and share the money.”

Rui Mengmeng asked: "After peeling off the bark, the tree will die, right? What will happen to these trees after they are sold out?"

"It's sold out as soon as it's sold out. Anyway, it's a poisonous thing. The village chief said that if someone is not afraid, he can carve out a piece of land in the corner for him to plant trees, and then sprinkle I.Q seeds everywhere on the island, so that You don’t have to worry about someone being accidentally poisoned, and I.Q can also be sold as a medicine.”

Paul spoke with hope in his eyes. The more suffering you have experienced, the more you cherish your present life.

Paul's house is not far from the entrance of the village. The house looks very new, and it should have been built recently.

"I'm back!" Paul pushed open the door.

A woman's voice came from inside: "Why are you back so early today?"

"I brought a guest back, he is our great benefactor!"

"What do we have..." The woman was halfway through her words, she ran out and looked at the group of people Paul Jean came in in surprise, and finally locked her eyes on Tom, she covered her mouth, "It's really a benefactor, please hurry up Enter!"

"Excuse me!"*9

"This is my lover Daya. We have been married for ten years, but not long after we got married, all the men in our village were captured by the Golden Lion and sent to hard labor. During this period, almost no one was allowed to go home."

If it weren't for the defeat of the Golden Lion, they still don't know when they will be reunited. After expressing his gratitude again, Paul said energetically: "It's because of this that we have never had children, but I have been working hard recently... "

Daya blushed and patted Paul. This man, talking nonsense in front of the guests, resisted the urge to pour boiling water on his face to pour tea for others.

Perona looked at Paul with trashy eyes, and said such words in front of children, feeling that this person must be the same person as that perverted skeleton.

Wendy's face suddenly turned red, even redder than the red apple suit on Ye Yan's body, and it seemed that steam might burst out from the top of her head at any moment.

Zhang Da didn't know how to answer this kind of topic, holding his teacup in embarrassment, wondering if he should say cheers or something.

He glanced at Wendy and Perona, the children seem to know quite a lot nowadays.

"Yo Ho Ho Ho ~" At the critical moment, I have to rely on an old pervert like Brooke, I saw him staring at Daya with empty eyes, and said with a smile, "Ms. Daya, can I..."

Zhang Daye, Ye Yan, and Shark Pepper jumped up almost at the same time, punching and kicking around Brook.

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts... At least let me finish my sentence!"

Apple Ye Yan directly fell down and crushed Brook: "After speaking, it's not as simple as a beating, it really can't change the bones and drink milk!"

Paul and Daya looked surprised: "You, you are..."

Zhang Da also trampled on justice, while explaining: "It's okay, he has suffered from osteoporosis, I would like to ask if you can give him a glass of milk, let's help him loosen his bones first!"

"When... of course it's okay..." Daya went back to the kitchen to get milk in a daze, wondering why he needed to loosen his bones since he already had osteoporosis.

After such a commotion, the awkward atmosphere eased a lot, probably.

Brook drank a glass of milk with all his injuries, and then revived with blood. He was almost used to it, and if he didn't get beaten every time he made such a request, it could only mean that his companions weren't around, which was fine.

During the chat, Zhang Da also learned that the people in this village are living a good life now. If they want to make a living, they can choose to farm on the island, collect herbs, work at the dock, or go to Shields Town to find a job.

The initial difficulties were overcome by the money from the sale of the beasts hunted and killed by the navy, and then the income from selling trees. Now as long as you are willing to work hard, you can live a good life. For ordinary people, this kind of life is already very Very good.

Especially for those of them who have endured ten years of suffering, it is like a dream. So they thanked the navy, the amber tour group, and the person in the newspaper who did not want to be named from the bottom of their hearts.

Therefore, when the villagers knew that the amber tour group was a guest at Paul's house, the villagers came to invite them one after another. After a dispute, the village chief simply proposed that the whole village hold a big banquet together, which was approved by everyone.

Although the development of the matter was somewhat unexpected, Zhang Da still chose to accept it happily, at least he didn't have to worry about bankrupting a certain family.

At this time, Zhang Daye's mood was still a bit complicated. He had saved a group of people who hated the world government and a group of people who supported the navy. It's really...it's good to have no camp.
