Chapter 270: Eight-foot-detailed jade, well-deserved reputation
After Tom's fuss, the two sides officially got to know each other. Yixiao is now similar to Zhang Da and the others, also traveling around, but this uncle was too angry when he was young, and he chose to close his eyes after seeing too much evil in the world.
In his words, "It is a blessing to be blind. There are too many filthy and despicable people in the world that are hard to bear to look at."
Misfortunes may turn out to be a blessing in disguise. I don't know if it's because my mind is easier to calm down after I can't see, which allowed me to develop an observation ability far beyond that of ordinary people, strong enough to detect meteorites from the sky, and then use my ability to pull them down and hit people.
Although they did not agree with his act of blinding himself, Zhang Daye and Altria had a good impression of this uncle who spoke and acted in a chivalrous manner.
Yixiao was also nice to Zhang Daye and the others. Putting aside the naughty unidentified animal, the boy and girl in front of him left a good impression on him. Not everyone has the courage to face a big pirate like Golden Lion.
And according to Kake, they stayed behind to delay time and provide location information in order to allow the navy to rescue the civilians. This behavior is in line with Yixiao's "benevolence and righteousness".
"Uncle Yixiao, since you are also traveling around, would you like to join us? It would be better for us to look after each other."
Zhang Da also made an invitation. Although he had no interest in fighting for territory or hegemony, the more experts there were when traveling, the safer it was. Besides, they got along well with Yixiao.
"Haha, I am a blind man, and I am very grateful for your invitation, but I still have my own journey to go. If I have the chance to ask for a cup of tea on your boat in the future, I hope you won't mind."
Well, I am just a 'blind man', and when I am humble, I am just as humble as an 'unknown person'.
"You're welcome anytime." Zhang Da also thought to himself, let alone asking for a cup of tea, it's not impossible for me to gamble with you. I have Admiral Altria to bet on.
As long as you don’t use any abilities to cheat, you will win the underwear.
"Yixiao, let's talk about this later. We have things to do right now." Vice Admiral Kake brought the topic back on track. In fact, compared to letting Yixiao continue his journey, Kake hoped that his old friend could join the navy.
"Alright." Yixiao pulled out the cane knife and waved it a few times, then put the knife back into the sheath and said, "That's it."
What happened? Zhang Da was also confused. Although he guessed that Yixiao had used his ability, he didn't feel anything at all. Is the gravity fruit so energy-saving?
With Kizaru's approval, Stoloberry immediately led his soldiers to Melviu's village to appease the civilians.
Then Kizaru walked to the edge of the island and said, "It's my turn to move around."
A golden light flashed, and Kizaru appeared in midair. He crossed his arms in front of his chest, making an OK sign with both hands:
"Yashakani no Magatama!"
Countless golden laser bullets were fired from the circle formed by the thumb and index finger, but the people below could no longer see such details because there were too many and too dazzling light spots. They could only see a golden cross star hanging in the air.
Only Tom, who cleverly put on sunglasses, could not only see Kizaru's movements clearly, but also imitate them vividly.
Zhang Da also snatched Tom's sunglasses and took a look. It was obviously the same action, but Tom looked so cute, while Kizaru looked so wretched.
Patting Tom on the head, Zhang Da also warned: "Promise me, Tom, you can learn his movements, but don't learn his expressions."
Tom nodded, not quite understanding.
biubiubiu......
Boom boom boom…
Countless laser bullets hit the ice surface and glaciers below, causing the glaciers to shatter. Some ice blocks were directly evaporated by the explosion, while some ice blocks fell into the sea and became small floating ice.
As Kizaru's light bullets swept through, the ice surfaces and glaciers created by Aokiji to catch more than a dozen islands were all shattered, leaving almost no ice blocks with a diameter of more than one meter. According to the climate here, they should melt soon.
What’s interesting is that Aokiji just leaned on his bicycle and watched calmly the whole time. Not only did Kizaru’s attack not affect him , it also left him a piece of floating ice that was big enough for him to stop the car and lie down to sleep.
The eight-foot-long jade is worthy of its reputation.
After the glacier collapsed, more than a dozen floating islands still floated steadily in the sky.
After using his skills, Kizaru flashed back, put his hands in his pockets, smiled and activated his ability, with an attitude of 'I have completed my work tasks for today, and I am ready to get off work at any time'.
With Yixiao's control, it slowly fell and finally landed on the sea.
There is no need to worry about the island sinking because the seabed here is too deep. Aokiji is here to build a temporary foundation for them at any time.
Zhang Da also said: "Very strong, and similar to the Golden Lion's ability."
"It's just a trivial skill. I just happened to find a place where I could use it." He smiled and spoke with all the humility of a big boss.
Zhang Da also asked, "But aren't we going to fly back to the Grand Route? Why are we landing?"
Vice Admiral Kake said, "Because we need to take Melvyu to the town of Shields in the East China Sea and settle her there while it's still light, and then come back to take the other islands back to the Grand Line."
"Sheltz Town?" Zhang Da also felt that it sounded familiar. Was it the town of Axe King Monka? But he probably hadn't become a colonel yet.
Vice Admiral Kake explained, "Yes, it would be irresponsible to just dump the island here, and placing an island suddenly in the East China Sea would require the consent of the kingdoms in the nearby waters. If we want to relocate it as soon as possible, it would be better to put it near Shields Town. It is a fairly prosperous town directly under the jurisdiction of the World Government, and there is also a naval branch there, which makes it convenient for us to take care of it and for them to live there."
Zhang Da also nodded. He thought it was too simple and just put them anywhere and that would be enough. The navy was very thoughtful and even thought about how these people would live in the future.
After the island stabilized, a large fleet of the navy came over from a distance. Lieutenant General Stoloberi commanded his subordinates to take the remnants of the Golden Lion onto the warships, and the body of the Golden Lion was also taken aboard.
After confirming the order with Kizaru, a lieutenant general whom Zhang Da didn't even know, he returned with the remnants of the Golden Lion.
When Stoloberi returned with his subordinates, he also had to go to Shields Town to settle the villagers. Well, he was a diligent man, and it was really hard for him to work under Kizaru.
"Brother Tatsuya, what are your plans next? Do you want to set sail directly from the East China Sea, or go back to the Grand Line with Zhenshou Island?" Kizaru asked. He remembered that Zhang Tatsuya's ship was on Zhenshou Island. After all, he had helped the navy so much, so he still had to make arrangements.
Zhang Da also said: "We plan to travel directly around the East China Sea, and then enter the Grand Route from the Upside-Down Mountain. We originally thought that if we wanted to go to the Four Seas, we would have to force our way through the Calm Belt, but we didn't expect the Golden Lion to help us."
This was something they had discussed yesterday . Zhang Da also remembered that there was a man named A'long who might come to the East China Sea to do evil. Since he was here this time, he might as well go find him and deal with him in advance.
As for the others, they basically just take things as they come. After all, they are traveling around the world, so it doesn't matter where they go.
Brook, the only one who was in a hurry to go to Gemini Cape to see Lab, had no objection. It was very risky to sail in the opposite direction of the Grand Line. It would be better to go through the Upside-Down Mountain in the peaceful East China Sea, which might be faster than taking the Grand Line.
Kizaru said: "Then please stop the boat outside the Zhenshou Island. We will escort Melvyu to Shields Town first, and then come back to move the goods to other islands. The things we promised you will be delivered here tomorrow. Please wait patiently for a day."
"There's no problem waiting one more day, but the supplies we brought with us when we came out are limited, and there seems to be no place to resupply nearby..." Zhang Da also hinted wildly that he had agreed to take Altria to the warship for a meal after defeating the Golden Lion, so if you promise something to others, you have to find a way to fulfill it, even if you have to be shameless.
"It's okay. I'll just get some supplies from the warship. If you're interested, you can also go and experience the canteen on the warship. Our chefs are pretty good."
Kizaru was quite straightforward. According to his understanding, Zhang Daye and his crew's ship was at best a medium-sized sailing ship, which was just a tiny thing compared to the large warships dispatched this time. So what would be the big deal in sending them a boatload of food? Besides, how much could seven people and a cat eat?
As for boarding the warship, the marshal has invited them to visit and study at the headquarters, so what's the big deal if he, a general, invites them to have a meal on the warship?
"Then we won't be polite!" Zhang Da also smiled very happily.
Tom and Altria were also looking forward to it. It was a rare opportunity for someone to treat them to a meal, so they must cherish it.
So, Kizaru took Kake, Stoloberry and several hundred naval soldiers to the town of Shields with a smile on his ability to make the island fly low in Melvi. Aokiji led two warships to follow just in case and also to prepare for the return trip.
Zhang Da and his companions stopped the boat next to a group of warships and boarded the warship directly under Kizaru for a visit. Kizaru's subordinates received the order to entertain them warmly, and naturally invited them to stay for lunch at noon.
When Kizaru finished arranging Melvyu's affairs and returned to his ship in the evening, he saw a group of distraught marines and the chef whose face showed both excitement and worry.
"What happened? Please help me prepare some dinner. There were so many things to do today that I didn't even have time to eat." Kizaru spoke slowly. So many warships were intact. It definitely couldn't be an enemy attack. There were no pirates in the East China Sea who were so blind that they dared to approach after seeing seven large warships parked here.
"But, General Borsalino, we are out of ingredients!"
Kizaru showed a puzzled expression: "No more? Wasn't it fully loaded when it came out?"
The Navy Headquarters has never been short of supplies. In order to deal with emergencies, the food carried by the warships every time they set sail must be sufficient or even surplus. Why is it that it is consumed so quickly this time?
"It's because the guests you ordered us to entertain had unexpectedly large appetites. Even the cat ate enough food for ten people.
I led all the chefs to work hard for three hours, used up all the ingredients, and finally filled their stomachs. I did not lose the face of the navy, nor did I lose the dignity of being a chef! "
I beg you to save some face! Kizaru rarely felt regret for what he had done: "I really underestimated them... Go get some ingredients from Stoloberry."
…
At this time on the Amber, Yixiao asked seriously, "Brother, how is it?"
Zhang Da also took a look and said, "Three, three, six, twelve o'clock, Altria is four, five, six, fifteen o'clock, uncle, you lose again, post the note."
"Oh, damn it. Let's do it again. I'm sure I'll win this time!" He took the note unwillingly and put it on his face, preparing for another game.
He is usually a very serious person, but when he sits at the gambling table, he becomes like a child. He will not give up until he wins a round, even if the stakes are just a sticker.
But Yixiao's gambling character is really good. He is willing to accept defeat and does not use his abilities to cheat. However, the consequence of playing dice with Altria is that his facial features are now almost completely blocked by the small piece of paper.
If the note falls down accidentally, he will use his ability to control the note and hang it back. He uses the high-end gravity fruit to do this kind of thing... It's pretty cute.
"There are only two slips of paper left. Uncle, if you lose again, you won't have a chance."
"What? Then I'm going to be serious from now on!"
"Uncle Yixiao, your room is ready. Just call me when you want to rest and I'll take you there." Rui Mengmeng said.
He smiled and said, "Thank you, little girl. I'm sorry to have caused you trouble."
"It's okay, it didn't take much effort." Rui Mengmeng asked, "But I heard that you and Lieutenant General Kake are good friends. Is it okay not to accompany him?"
"Haha, it's too stuffy on the warship. I can't even find someone to play dice with me. It's more fun here, so I have the nerve to come here and stay the night." Yixiao quite likes the atmosphere here.
Some people played dice with him, some played beautiful music, and some sat quietly on the side studying... I guess they were studying, but they seemed a little sleepy.
There was also that unidentified creature, which had not been seen for a long time and for some reason had swelled up into a ball, but it was still able to roll to the table to watch the fun.
It's a really interesting boat.
In contrast, if I went to Kake's place, the conversation would probably end with inviting him to join the navy.
Yixiao is not really averse to the navy, but there are still many places he has not seen and many issues he has not figured out. When he is sure of what he should do, he will end this life of traveling alone.
And now, the most important thing for him...
The dice cup started to shake, and fell on the table with a clang. He smiled confidently and said, "This feels great, I'm sure to win!"
Altria shook it a few times, picked up a small piece of fruit with a toothpick and put it in her mouth, then gently lifted the lid.
Zhang Da couldn't bear to watch it : "Altria got three sixes, Uncle Yixiao, you lose again."
"How...how could this happen... "
