A few days later, in the West Sea, an unknown sea area.
"Well~ I feel so full. I am so happy to be able to eat these delicacies every day!"
On the deck of the Gospel, Rhea touched his bulging belly and sighed with satisfaction on his face.
The reason for such emotion is naturally because the new team of chefs on board the ship has a team of five people.
These five chefs are all senior chefs in the logistics department of Babao Water Village. Their hometown is Puke, a gourmet city in the first half of the great route.
The five of them ran a restaurant in Puke when they were young. Thirty years ago, they gave up the restaurant business at the invitation of Qingjiao, who had just entered the Grand Line, and left their hometown to board Babaosai.
Twenty-four years ago, when Qingjiao was dented in the head by Garp and decided to give up becoming a pirate, these five people did not choose to break up the group due to various reasons, but followed Qingjiao and settled in the Kingdom of Flowers.
In the blink of an eye, more than 20 years have passed, and the chefs have become old and frail, and they miss their hometown more and more day by day.
Qingjiao originally planned to let Lao Cai send these five old people back to their hometown after Lao Cai's strength improved.
After hearing that Aoun and others planned to enter the Grand Line, but currently lacked suitable chefs, he immediately chose to recommend these five old guys to Aoun.
On the one hand, the five of them have rich experience at sea. They can take care of the food problems of Orn and the three of them while temporarily serving as navigators.
On the other hand, having the powerful Ornn and Yamato in charge is enough to ensure that their journey back to their hometown is smooth and they will not die in a foreign country due to any accidents encountered along the way.
After a brief contact, both parties felt that this matter was feasible, so they hit it off and followed Aoun and the other three to leave the Kingdom of Flowers.
Because the five master chefs followed Qingjiao through most of the great route, they mastered a variety of dishes. They served them differently every day, which made the weight of the three of them increase to varying degrees during this period.
"Okay, now that we've eaten and drank enough, we should do some post-meal exercises to relieve our appetite."
Aoun, who also had lunch, walked up to Rhea and patted her on the shoulder:
"Continuing with yesterday's practice, you first attack me from any angle for an hour while I am blindfolded. After an hour, I will teach you the power-generating technique of the eight punch boxing."
That's right, the blindfolded dodge training mentioned here is exactly the kind of training that Rayleigh carried out on Luffy in the anime.
Ever since he achieved the introduction of Armed Color Haki in the Kingdom of Flowers, Aoun had the idea of Long Wangshu, and began to think about spending time to develop his own knowledge and color.
So, after he left the Kingdom of Flowers, he approached Rhea and asked Rhea to spare an hour every day after training to start such an offensive practice with him.
As for why Yamato was not approached, the main reason was that Yamato’s symptoms of seasickness had not been completely eliminated and it was not suitable for strenuous exercise on the ship.
However, it won’t take too long for the symptoms to disappear.
When they held a banquet on the Moby Dick, Marco's diagnosis was that Yamato could completely adapt to life at sea in about half a year.
It has been more than three months since he and Yamato left the new world. Therefore, according to Aoun's estimation, after they enter the paradise and fill one or two islands with magnets, Yamato's seasickness symptoms should be gone. Completely eliminated.
By that time, Rhea will probably not be able to take on his own sparring duties. Yamato will be able to seamlessly take up the role and improve the strength of both parties by playing against him...
Thinking about the future sparring with Yamato, Rhea stood up obediently and took the iron rod made of excess cold iron from Aoun's hand:
"Are you ready, Captain? I want to..."
Before he finished speaking, Rhea rolled his eyes, picked up the iron rod and hit Ornn on the side.
The blindfolded Ornn was stupidly waiting for Rhea to finish speaking and reply "Ready", but unexpectedly, he was hit hard on the side with an iron rod, and he couldn't help but gasp in pain. gas.
"I said, why don't you play according to the routine?"
"Didn't you say that we must pay attention to surprise during training? It would be best if you could not detect the trajectory of the attack at all?"
Rhea replied triumphantly.
"Okay, you're going to be cruel." Aoun replied in a very depressed manner, but what he was thinking about was that when Rhea started practicing his weapon colors, he must retaliate harshly.
Yamato leaned on the railing and stared at the two people's movements, a big smile appeared on his face unconsciously.
Living freely on the sea with friends like this now, this feeling is indeed as interesting as what was recorded in Oden's diary. I feel that every day now is happier than the past twenty-one years combined...
Just as he was thinking about it, Yamato's knowledge suddenly issued an early warning for no reason.
"Ornn, be careful!"
The smile on Yamato's face suddenly disappeared, and the hand with the frost-fire gauntlet grasped Takeru's stick. Almost as soon as ice crystals condensed on the stick, Yamato had already flashed to Aoun's side.
He swung the mace in his hand and hit a cannonball. Ice crystals instantly covered the cannonball, but it failed to prevent the explosion.
A strong impact suddenly erupted, causing Ornn and Rhea, who were unaware of what was happening behind them, to stagger unconsciously under the impact.
Seeing that Yamato was not showing favoritism to him, but was really seeing the danger, Aoun quickly took off the blindfold from his eyes:
"what's the situation?"
Rhea on the side also dropped the iron rod, took out the telescope hanging on his waist, and looked around in the southwest direction where the shells were coming.
"It's not clear yet..."
Yamato's face was very ugly:
"Obviously the artillery shells were coming from the southwest, but I couldn't sense the presence of the opponent with my sight. I could only barely feel the flight path of the artillery shells when they came. This kind of thing is simply unheard of!"
"There are no ships or pirate flags visible in the telescope," Rhea put down the telescope in confusion at this time:
"Where did this shell come from?"
While he was speaking, three more shells struck.
Yamato's eyes narrowed, and the cold air began to cling to Akenbang's body again.
"Mingdy!"
With Yamato's loud shout, the icy blue stick gas rose into the sky and hit two cannonballs in the air, but one of the shells missed the edge of the stick gas and landed on the deck.
Fortunately, Aoun also noticed the existence of this cannonball. A magma ball appeared in his hand and he swung it into the air, hitting the cannonball very accurately. The cannonball was ignited by the magma ball in midair and exploded into a gorgeous flower. Dangerous Fireworks.
The roar of two consecutive explosions woke up the old masters who were taking a nap after making lunch. One of them looked at the shell fragments falling on the deck, and then looked at the empty sea in the distance. Suddenly he remembered something and immediately let out a cry. exclaimed:
"It's Mysterio, we're being targeted by Mysterio!"
