"Wow~!"
(⊙o⊙)!
As the yacht belonging to the gourmet hotel slowly docked, after being separated from Nami, Luffy and the others for three days, little Annie, who followed the gourmet hunter Aru and the chef Komatsu on a journey to find food, looked at She couldn't help but exclaimed with excitement at this strange island group.
Seeing the relief of Uncle Aru and the nervous expression on Uncle Xiaosong's face, she knew without asking that they must have arrived at their destination, the Baron Islands.
"ha!"
-?(?)?
"Is this here?"
ヾ(●′?｀●)?
Before the yacht could stop, Annie excitedly jumped from the boat to the shore and stood firmly on the rocks along the coast.
"Yeah that's right!"
"That's right, this is the Baron Islands!"
"Actually, this is an order from my boss, asking me to come to the Baron Islands to conduct an ecological survey on the wild Kela crocodile, also known as 'Gala crocodile', and by the way, get some meat from these giant crocodiles back?"
Xiaosong, who had packed his luggage and jumped off the boat with a rifle in his arms, said tremblingly, staggering under his feet and almost falling face-first on the hard seaside rocks.
"Oh? Ecological survey?"
"interesting!"
"They actually asked a chef like you to come here to investigate Keira Crocodile?"
Alu, the gourmet hunter who jumped ashore after Xiaosong, frowned and looked at the surrounding environment. After finding no danger, he frowned and looked at Xiaosong, who was walking a little unsteadily.
"Hello!"
"Annie, don't run around, otherwise we won't be able to find you!"
"besides……"
Alu, who didn't carry any luggage, walked a few steps forward. After observing the terrain for a while and telling a little girl who was about to move around not to run around, he frowned and turned to Xiaosong and asked playfully:
"Xiaosong, are you sure you haven't offended your superiors? Otherwise, why would they give you such a weird order to let you come here to die?"
"You should also know how terrifying that giant crocodile is, right?"
Galara crocodile, also called 'Keira Giant', is a reptile with hunting level 5. It lives in the dangerous area of 'Baron Islands' where about 200,000 species live, and it stands in this closed ecosystem. A huge crocodile at the top of the biological chain, and famous for the title of 'the most advanced crocodile meat in the world'.
It is a nocturnal animal and keeps a large number of leeches called 'Baron leeches' in its mouth (symbiosis). Under normal circumstances, it only needs to spread the leeches everywhere and then follow them based on the smell of the blood of the animals whose blood has been sucked by the leeches. and hunt down prey.
Although the fecundity of Galara crocodile is very weak, its individual lifespan is very long, with an average lifespan of nearly 150 years, and its lifespan will be extended as its appetite and ferocity increase.
But the Gallagher is not that easy to deal with. Its huge jaws and agile body are enough to break a fishing rod with a pulling force of about 40 tons for whaling as easily as chopsticks, and even if it dispatches a food tank, it may not be able to do so. Can handle it.
Therefore, Alu has every reason to believe that the Gourmet Hotel must have bad intentions when it sends such a chef with insufficient fighting ability to do ecological surveys on the island!
"ah?"
"I shouldn't have offended anyone, right?"
"I usually work as a chef in the back kitchen of a gourmet hotel. I have always done a good job and I have not offended anyone..."
Komatsu was shocked by that statement.
But soon, he shook his head firmly in surprise. He did not think that his superiors had any other bad intentions in asking him to come to this archipelago to investigate the giant crocodile.
"head chef?"
"I understand, but fortunately you knew that you invited me, and Annie was also here, otherwise..."
"Hmph!"
Otherwise, Alu didn't say anything clearly, but just shook his head meaningfully.
He couldn't say some things too bluntly, otherwise he would be suspected of sowing discord. Besides, that was Xiaosong's own business. No matter it was good or bad, the other party had to deal with it himself. He didn't want to have to deal with those infighting and bullshit things. , he just wants to do his job as a food hunter and try his best to complete his life menu. That is the most meaningful thing.
"Eh?"
Σ(°△°|||)︴
"Hey! Uncle Aru, what kind of animals are those guys over there?"
(???.???)????
At this time, Anne discovered that there seemed to be many sneaky animals lying on the rocks on the seaside and vigilantly observing the three of them who had just landed.
"where?"
"ah!"
"That's the Golden Yao Monkey!"
With just a distant glance, the gourmet hunter Alu, who had already studied the Baron Islands, easily recognized the animal.
"Golden Yao Monkey?"
|?˙?˙)?
"Is that animal delicious?"
?(????)?
Apparently, Anne was more concerned about this!
She knows that everything in the food world is edible, and the Balon Islands are also located in the food world. Moreover, she doesn't care whether the monkey is a primate, as long as it is not an intelligent creature. , she will definitely not mind.
(…)
(●￣?￣●)
"eat?!"
"Well……"
"They are a group of very vigilant, territorial, but very timid guys. As for eating..."
"Feel sorry!"
"Annie, they seem to have little edible value. I wouldn't consider eating them anyway. However, their price is very high. A live and healthy one can be sold for 600,000 yuan, because With its golden fur and docile and timid character, it is very popular among some pet fans!"
Alu is worthy of being a gourmet hunter. He talks eloquently and tells what he knows about the golden obsidian monkeys. He is like a zoologist in the gourmet world.
"Then it doesn't taste good?"
(*ˉ?ˉ*;)
"..."
(ˉ▽￣~)Cut~~
Annie obviously didn't have much interest in things that didn't taste good, so she quickly focused her attention elsewhere since she couldn't even take a second look at it.
"And what about those sharks prowling the ocean trying to eat us?"
?(????)?
Since we can't eat food on land, we can eat food from the sea. Anyway, whether it's delicacies from the mountains or from the sea, Anne doesn't mind much.
"oh!"
"That's the Baron shark. As for the taste, it's just so-so. The shark's fin is okay, but the processing is too wasteful and time-consuming. It can't be eaten right away. It's not suitable for us to enjoy here in the Baron Islands."
Looking at the group of sharks circling around the ship in the sea but unable to do anything to him, the food hunter Aru took one look and laughed.
Sharks are indeed scary, but they are in the sea and they are on the shore. No one can do anything about them, so there is no need to pay too much attention.
"Alu is right!"
"Although the fins of Baron sharks are indeed delicious and not difficult to catch, if there are no professional kitchens and chefs who spend a lot of time processing them, then you should not eat them, right?"
"The shark fins must be cut off first, then dried, then drawn and soaked..."
"It takes at least a month and a lot of work from catching to serving. If you want to eat it, Annie, you can go to our gourmet hotel when the time comes. We have it ready-made."
It is not easy to eat the fins of Baron Shark. As a chef at a five-star gourmet hotel, Komatsu knows better than anyone how difficult it is to make a bowl of exquisite shark fin vermicelli soup.
"That's it..."
(?~?)
"Then forget it!"
ε=(′ο｀*)))Alas
Hearing that shark fin processing takes a long time, and hearing what both of them said, Annie gave up on the spot and stopped looking at the group of ferocious-looking sharks in the sea.
"Huh?"
(????)
"Look, there's a big frog lying on the tree over there. Is it delicious?"
(o?ω?o)
Soon, Annie found a new target, pointing at the big frog that seemed to be more than one meter long and a bit scary, and asked eagerly like a curious baby.
She recalled the time when she was in the experimental class. At that time, she was the eldest sister in the class. At her order, the classmates roasted and ate the frogs that the teacher had brought for them to teach anatomy class. Not to mention how delicious it is in that kind of atmosphere.
It's a pity that the teacher at that time was so stingy that after eating a few frogs, he called Colson and the others to complain, and also called the parents. It was really abominable!
"frog?"
"!!"
"That's a snake frog. You can't eat the meat. It's poisonous!"
"However, their livers are very delicious, and if they are soaked alive in soju, they can be made into the 'snake frog wine' that is very popular among gourmets. When eating, you can take out the liver and eat the liver while eating it. Drinking wine, that pill is a refreshing ingredient with amazing effects!"
"Um……"
"Yes, it's very refreshing."
Looking at the chef Xiaosong on the side, Alu finally just said this awkwardly and nonchalantly.
The liver of that kind of amphibian beast that looks a bit scary but is actually not very powerful in combat is not only famous for its delicious taste, but also can help strengthen certain male organs. However, since the little girl was present, he did not dare to say it so clearly. , I just barely described it as a refreshing product.
"Eating a frog's liver?"
ヽ(￣△￣;)ノ
"..."
(lll￢▽￢)
"Soaking the whole thing in wine? Forget it, I don't want to eat that kind of thing, it makes me sick to death just thinking about it!"
??(??￣?￣)????
After casting a contemptuous look at the big frog lying on the tree trunk, Annie instantly gave up the idea of eating it, and hurriedly followed the two strange uncles Alu and Xiaosong who had already started to take action. Continue to observe the surrounding situation with interest.
"..."
??(′?｀?)???
"careful!"
"There are a lot of Baron hydra in the jungle here, don't let them bite you, otherwise it will be very troublesome!"
At this time, Alu, who was clearing the way in front, looked back at a little girl who was still carefree, and said a thoughtful word of concern.
"oh oh!"
Σ(⊙▽⊙”a
"Got it!"
(′???`)
"People are not afraid of hydra!"
(ˉ▽￣~)Cut~~
As she said this, she saw that one actually slipped down from the tree on the side and tried to attach itself to her bare white arm. Seeing this, Anne unceremoniously burned it to ashes with a fire.
However, she did not care about the one that fell to the side on the neck of the big-nosed uncle, because she wanted to know what the troublesome consequences would be after being bitten by this kind of Baron hydra?
(…)
(●￣?￣●)
"Annie..."
"Don't play with fire!"
"Fortunately, this is a swamp area and the air is very humid. Otherwise, if you dare to set fires like this in other forests, big trouble will happen!"
"Hey~! Xiaosong, don't move!"
"Let me help you……"
First he warned Annie, and then Aru yelled and stopped Xiaosong who was about to forcefully pull off the polyps he was sucking from his neck.
"If you forcefully remove the wound, it will burst open. I think you don't want to die here due to excessive blood loss, right?"
"Turn around and lower your head!"
"do not move……"
As he said that, the two men began to deal with the wounds.
"..."
(￢д￢.)
"Uncle Aru, what are those animals over there?"
(°ー°〃)
Annie, who discovered that there was nothing too troublesome after being bitten, quickly lost interest and turned her attention elsewhere.
"..."
However, after eating, the strange uncle did not answer her question immediately.
"Hurry up and get on your way!"
"Annie, if I come across something delicious, I will definitely tell you about it!"
"do you know?"
"There are nearly 50,000 gourmet creatures on this Baron Islands. If I were to explain them one by one, it would take a long time to finish."
The food hunter Alu was a little impatient and was not prepared to explain any kind of creature to some bad little girl.
"oh……"
(′～｀；)
"sure!"
(*^▽^*)
Annie didn't mind. She felt that an ordinary-looking animal wouldn't be very tasty, so she continued to follow the two of them.
But soon, Uncle Alu, who was opening the way in front, stopped first.
"!!"
!(;?o?)o
"What's that?"
?(????)?
Seeing the huge black shadow emerging from the jungle blocking the path of the three of them, Annie was overjoyed and rushed forward excitedly and asked urgently.
"it……"
"It's Baron Sabretooth!"
Unlike Annie who looked curious, food hunter Aru had a solemn look on his face and did not dare to act rashly.
"Is it tasty?"
(〃°ω°〃)?
Of course, Anne asked again.
"..."
"Unappetizing!"
"Baron saber-toothed tigers are mammalian non-edible food animals with capture level 3. They are a type of tiger that lives on the Palon Islands. They are the most powerful species in this jungle, but the meat is very hard and not very good. For food, only the two long canine teeth and the fur can be sold at a good price, they are the highest-grade raw materials for decoration."
Baron's saber-toothed tiger is a very valuable animal and is not difficult to deal with. However, Aru, who has always strictly adhered to the self-regulation and principle of 'don't kill if it's not for eating, but once you kill, you must eat', does not intend to embarrass him. The other party, so at this time, he is considering a method that can try not to hurt the other party but scare the other party away.
"Isn't it delicious?"
⊙(?◇?)?
"Then ignore it..."
(??.??)
Anne was not interested in animals that were not tasty, and she didn't even care about the furs and teeth used for decoration. After all, she had never been short of money, and she only wanted delicious food now.
(…)
(●￣?￣●)
'! ! '
'Ouch~! '
Soon, after the food hunter Aru released a certain momentum and intimidated the Baron saber-toothed tiger who was planning to devour someone, the other party quickly ran away with his tail between his legs and whimpering.
"strangeness……"
But after scaring away the animals, Uncle Alu, who opened the way, was not in a hurry to move on. Instead, he stood there wondering what he was thinking.
"What's weird?"
ヽ(゜Q.)ノ?
"..."
"The Baron saber-toothed tiger usually only lives deeper in the forest, and the same goes for the golden obsidian monkey just now. They will only hide in caves all their lives. How could they openly appear on the rocks at the seaside like that?"
"It seems that this mission is not easy!"
Shaking his head, Uncle Aru sighed as he couldn't figure it out, and then waved his hand to signal the little girl and Xiaosong behind him to continue following him.
"not simple?"
く(＾_?)ゝ
"That means someone really wants to kill this big-nosed uncle?"
∑(′△｀)? !
Annie looked at Xiaosong, her face full of the kind of gloating expressions of 'you're in trouble' and 'you're going to be in trouble'.
"!!"
"Hello!"
"Don't scare me!!"
Holding the shotgun in his arms, the chef with a big nostril felt that his two arms were trembling and he could hardly move.
"Let's go!"
"Let's go to the front and take a look and we'll find out!"
Ignoring the two people playing behind him, the food hunter Alu continued to lead the way, not caring about the possible dangers ahead.
After all, he agreed to Chef Xiaosong's request and came here to investigate and hunt specifically for that kind of crocodile. Before he could eat the meat of that kind of crocodile, no matter what danger it was, he would definitely not be scared. to his.
