"Brother Katakuri, I didn't expect that woman to be a subordinate of Shichibukai. Plus, Sister Strom has been teasing me, so that's why..."
While everyone in the Orn Pirates was talking about Katakuri, Opela was also quietly trying to defend her previous behavior.
"Brother Opela!"
When Strom heard Opera trying to blame him, Strom couldn't help but complained softly.
Although she did give Opera a few words at the time, it was his own doing, wasn't it?
"That's enough Opela, as a brother, it is your responsibility to take care of your immature sister!"
Katakuri looked at him sideways and said dissatisfied:
"Even if Strom is teasing you, what you should do is tell her that she shouldn't do that, instead of just agreeing as soon as she teases you. In the final analysis, you still have such thoughts in your heart!"
Opela was originally afraid of this brother who was extremely good in all aspects. When she heard this, she showed her fierce and shy nature. She almost didn't dare to take a breath and could only say indifferently. Katakuri said: That's right, and at the same time, he didn't forget to secretly look at the two sisters for help.
Garrett on the side looked at her incompetent fifth brother, sighed secretly and stood up:
"Brother Katakuri, brother Opela is just too excited to go to the paradise for the first time, so please stop blaming him."
At this point, she rolled her eyes and immediately changed the topic:
"But speaking of it, I remember my mother mentioned this Ornn at the tea party, but she didn't seem to take him to heart at the time."
The fat Strom on the side also remembered the afternoon tea after Garrett’s reminder, so he said:
"Yes, I remember when my mother said that guy might not even be able to enter the New World... But many of the sisters thought he was very handsome when they saw the photo of Ornn."
"I thought Ornn was not worth mentioning before." After hearing the two sisters bring the topic to Ornn, Katakuri finally turned his attention away from Opela:
"But after this meeting, I felt that the guy was not as simple as we thought. Not only him, but also the woman next to him gave me a feeling that it was difficult to deal with."
"Even the invincible Katakuri brother would find it difficult to deal with?" Garrett unconsciously covered her mouth in surprise when she heard this, and the indifferent attitude of Orn when facing Katakuri brother appeared in front of her eyes. looks like:
"Did brother see any future?"
"That's not true. After all, he didn't show much hostility. I just vaguely came to this conclusion based on the aura emanating from them."
Katakuri said this, perhaps thinking that Garrett was worried about her own safety, so he looked at Garrett and said softly:
"Don't worry Garrett, you just need to compete with peace of mind. Even if there is any conflict with them during this trip to Puji, my brother will protect you."
"Yeah," Garrett raised her head and smiled at Katakuri: "Brother Katakuri is the most powerful."
Oddly enough, she clearly has a pair of three-white eyes with a sense of alienation, but when she smiles, her eyes have obvious squints, giving people the feeling that all the ice and snow are melting in an instant.
Katakuri looked away in silence, then looked at Opera again and said solemnly:
"Strong and I are also responsible for investigating Laura's traces, so we will not appear near the arena before the finals. Therefore, while Garrett is participating in the competition, you will be responsible for protecting and assisting her in searching for outstanding players. Pastry chef, if Garrett is hurt in the slightest, I will only ask you!"
Hearing Katakuri's cold words, Opela couldn't help but shiver, and then nodded like a chicken pecking at rice:
"Don't worry, Brother Katakuri, I promise to protect Sister Garrett."
That's right, Katakuri and his three younger siblings went to the gourmet city of Puke this time for a total of three things.
The first is that Garrett wants to stand out in the God of Cookery Competition in order to win the position of "Butter Minister".
The second is to search for a new excellent pastry chef for Auntie.
Finally, it was to recover the 23rd daughter of the Charlotte family, Charlotte Lola, who had refused to marry the giant prince some time ago and fled the world!
…………
On the other side, in the city of Pukei, Holt's Restaurant.
"Hmm~ It's delicious. This one is delicious too!"
In some small restaurants, a private banquet was in full swing.
Aoun and others feasted happily to the sound of music, while the five master chefs from the Kingdom of Flowers, surrounded by restaurant chefs, told each other about the various experiences they had encountered over the years.
"Oh, I really didn't expect that after our five brothers left the restaurant, the development of the restaurant would be so difficult."
After listening to various reports from the chefs, the smiles of the five master chefs who returned to their hometown gradually faded away, making the originally cheerful atmosphere in the restaurant a lot more solemn.
In the years since the five master chefs left Pukei, the restaurant they worked so hard to run has been deteriorating.
Because the five best cooks were all taken away by Qingjiao, although the remaining chefs in the restaurant could make the dishes taught to them by the five chefs with great proficiency, they ultimately lacked the spirit of innovation.
The lack of innovative dishes is not a problem in other regions. After all, many restaurants rely on their classic dishes to become famous.
But in Pukki, known as the "city of food", it is a disaster.
There are so many restaurants in Pukki, and restaurants of the same quality are even more severely involved.
In order to attract customers, most restaurants launch new main dishes almost every month, as well as various seasonal limited dishes.
But Holt's restaurant is missing its five most senior chefs, and the remaining ones are not culinary geniuses like Xiao Dangjia. Naturally, they have been left behind in terms of innovation.
The lack of innovative dishes has led to a large loss of diners, and the scale of the restaurant has shrunk year by year. If the five master chefs had come back a few years later, the restaurant might have gone out of business completely.
"That's the only way to bring the restaurant back to life, right?"
In the silence, one of the five masters spoke first.
As soon as he said this, the other four people subconsciously nodded in response:
"Yes, it seems that we can only place our hope in the God of Cookery Challenge. As long as we can break into the top ten in the God of Cookery Challenge, we will definitely be able to attract a large number of customers with our advantage as a local restaurant!"
The eyes of the five master chefs were filled with flames of hope. After decades, they had to participate in the God of Cookery Challenge again!
