Chapter 872: Aftermath and Preparations
Shanks' popularity in Dyeing Town has reached a staggering level.
The townspeople initially followed the Red Hair Pirates' arrangement to seek refuge because they believed that Red Hair would definitely win.
But when Lime Jones flew from the battlefield to the refuge at the other end of the town, they realized that things seemed a little bad.
Perhaps for the townspeople, the one who can make them live a stable life is the one who is worth fighting for.
So the mayor summoned a large number of brave young men and rushed over with farm tools, kitchen knives and other things.
Of course, this is also because the reputation of the Amber Travel Group for "destroying the country" and kidnapping the princess is too bad among most civilians.
So there are many people who support reporting the whereabouts of the Amber Travel Group to the Red Hair Pirates.
Among them is the toy store clerk who wants to rescue Vivi.
Fortunately, Zhang Da also helped Shanks recover some of his injuries and physical strength, allowing him to stand up and persuade those civilians to leave.
The conflict between the Amber Travel Group and the Red Hair Pirates came to an end.
Zhang Da and Wendy worked together to help Hongo recover some of his injuries, and asked him to go and treat his companions first.
The rest would have to wait until Zhang Da and Wendy's magic power recovered more.
"Others are easy to deal with, as long as there is enough time, they can all recover." Hongo checked the injuries of his companions, feeling a little heavy, "But Beckman's arm..."
Ben Beckman's arm was broken by Misaka's railgun, and there was a missing part in the middle. Even if Hongo wanted to help him connect, he couldn't create the missing part out of thin air.
"I'll keep this arm." Zhang Da said, "Although there is no way for the time being, maybe there will be one after a while."
"Of course, the premise is that there is no interference from Kaido."
Zhang Da also couldn't create a piece of arm out of thin air, but Vegapunk had one, so he could just clone one.
At the very least, he could help install a mechanical arm.
Shanks didn't know what Zhang Daye was planning, and he couldn't make a decision for Beckman: "Let's talk about this after Beckman wakes up."
...
In the next few days, Zhang Daye and Wendy slowly helped the Red Hair Pirates to heal their wounds, and everyone's injuries gradually improved.
But the atmosphere between the two groups was always not very harmonious.
Like the three days and three nights of the battle between the Roger Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates, no important person died, no one was seriously injured, and they could sit together and drink afterwards, which was actually quite ridiculous.
After Zhang Daye talked about the matter, Shanks might be able to laugh it off.
But others may not be. It is one thing to be prepared to die or be injured before the battle, but it is difficult to smile at the person who hurt you after the battle.
Especially the two sides did not have the trend of becoming a family or good friends.
The most difficult one to let go is Ben Beckman.
Since waking up, he has always been sullen and smoking.
He is different from Shanks. Shanks lost an arm and can say generously, "I bet it on the new era."
As the brain of the team, Beckman has to be more rational.
He must consider what kind of impact the loss of an arm will have on the team.
He also has to consider how credible Zhang Daye's words "there will be a way after a while" are.
As for helping to stop Kaido, Beckman has no opinion.
Since the captain has agreed to such a big thing, as a deputy, he will not refute it.
He will only think about how to do this well, and even help appease those reluctant crew members.
"Huh..." Beckman blew out a puff of smoke, and the stimulation of the cigarette gave him the illusion that his brain became clearer.
He put out the cigarette butt with his left hand a little unaccustomed, and looked at his right arm wrapped in thick bandages: "I can only trust him."
The worst case he could think of was to go to the South China Sea to find someone to make a mechanical arm, so he would not be completely helpless.
As for whether the strength would decline, he could only make more efforts.
...
On the Amber, the first thing everyone did after the battle was to beat Caesar.
Because he planned to take advantage of the opportunity of the battle between the two sides to escape.
He even wanted to drive the Amber away directly.
Fortunately, after Zhang Daye took back the fainted flag monster, he released a few more to watch the ship.
So when Caesar tried to sneak into Zhang Daye's room to find the key, he was caught and beaten by the flag monsters on the spot.
He didn't expect Zhang Daye to be so tough that he could leave a few people to watch the ship when he went to war with the Four Emperors.
In fact, the ones left were the weakest chess soldiers, the kind that even ordinary pirates would find it difficult to beat if they were released.
But 16 soldiers were more than enough to bully Caesar who was locked in seastone.
Because he had just been beaten, Caesar was very well-behaved these days, so Zhang Daye and the others didn't focus on him.
Everyone was talking about the Red Hair Pirates.
Ye Yan said, "I thought they were going to be exchanged for bounties again."
Zhang Daye shook his head: "They are the ones who can really keep the peace in this area. Just look at the attitude of the civilians here towards the Red Hair Pirates."
Rui Mengmeng said, "Then are we too heavy-handed?"
"There's nothing we can do. They started it first." Zhang Daye pointed to his shoulder, "And they didn't hit him lightly."
Beckman's bullet really left a deep impression on Zhang Daye.
In addition to occasionally going over to help heal his wounds, he was thinking about the power that hurt him these days.
He thought that thing should be a special use of Armament Haki, which might be something called Ryu-o in Wano Country, or it might be something stronger.
Zhang Da also deeply regretted that he didn't learn much when he was hit by Teacher Kai.
This time, this shot can't be taken in vain.
Bloopers, boom boom boom...
The Den Den Mushi rang, and Zhang Da quickly answered it.
On the other side was Shark Chili: "Everything is going well, I'll be back soon, everyone get ready."
"Okay, be careful on the road."
There wasn't much said on the phone, but Shark Chili's meaning was very clear - time should not be sufficient, and he would set sail as soon as he came back.
The battle between the Amber Travel Group and the Red Hair Pirates has also made headlines in newspapers.
Countless people are speculating on the ultimate goal of the Amber Travel Group.
From friends of the navy, they suddenly became criminals who destroyed the country, and now they are fighting with the Red Hair Pirates.
There are rumors that they were also the ones who killed Quinn a few days ago.
With so many attacks on the Four Emperors, could it be that the Amber Tour Group wants to become the Pirate King?
Only Kaido was simply paying attention to the location of the Amber Tour Group: "So they are hiding there! Get ready to go!"
Jin was relatively calm: "Mr. Kaido, they may have deliberately fled to Red Hair's territory to provoke a war between us and Red Hair!"
"So what! You killed my big boss, do you want me to just let it go?"
It really can't be let go like this, Jin sighed: "At least let me make more preparations."
