"Me!? I'm here to find a cook!"
Luffy answered Heboldy's question while picking his nose.
But obviously, that's not what the other party wants to hear.
Fortunately, at this moment, Chihong suddenly interrupted the conversation between the two.
He smiled like a gentleman and said, "Hello, Your Majesty the Navy opposite."
"You guys should be here to dine too, right?"
"Although our camps are different, Barati is a holy land of food after all. Fighting and killing here is really degrading~"
"How about we put aside our prejudices and enjoy a delicious meal in peace!?"
"Ah... ok! ok!!!"
Hebodi, who originally didn't want to provoke the big pirate, naturally didn't dare to say anything after hearing this and nodded repeatedly.
"Thank you for your cooperation." Chihong smiled with satisfaction.
He also hopes that the subsequent plot will proceed normally and allow the Creek Pirates to attract Hawkeye...
At this time, we can't scare Hebodi and the others away.
In this way, the pirates and the navy had a rare unity of opinion.
The two parties boarded the ferry boat and came to Barati.
"Hey Sanji, we're here again!"
As soon as he walked into Barati's restaurant, Luffy immediately laughed and greeted Sanji, who was working part-time as a waiter.
Although Sanji still hasn't made a decision, after spending the past two days together, they have become familiar with each other.
Of course, the most important thing is...
With Sanji's nature, it is difficult for him not to become familiar with the Straw Hats.
"Nami-san~!!!"
Seeing Nami's appearance, Sanji's eyes instantly turned into two pink hearts, and he ran all the way to kneel down in front of Nami.
With experience, he did not take out the roses this time, but handed the sparkling wine in his hand to Nami that was supposed to be given to the table.
"Thank you, God of the Ocean, for letting you and I meet again~"
"I would like to take this wine to bear witness to my unwavering love for you!"
"Hey, cook, there's another beauty over there~!"
For some reason, Zoro, who was unhappy when he saw Sanji looking so mean, suddenly pointed in the direction of the door.
I saw a graceful and mature lady wearing a bright red evening dress walking into the Barati restaurant with the trembling Hebodi.
"!!!"
In an instant, Sanji's peach-shaped eyes suddenly expanded, as if they were about to pop out.
"Sorry, excuse me, Miss Nami."
He first apologized like a gentleman, took two steps back gracefully, and then suddenly ran to Hebodi's side with his tornado legs, and said the exact same words to the mature lady.
Sanji him...
Love every beauty equally!
"Pfft~! You are so loyal~!!!"
Zoro suddenly laughed out loud when he saw the interesting scene.
Nami, who was left behind, also had an indifferent attitude. Anyway, she had nothing to lose if she could get a glass of sparkling wine for free~
Chihong and the others smiled knowingly, not surprised by Sanji's character.
Several people came to the table they used on the first day and sat down one after another.
In the past few days, this table near the door has been regarded as the exclusive seat of the Straw Hats.
No one dares to sit here except them.
Even if a new diner accidentally sits here, someone with knowledge will immediately come and drag them away.
At this time, a mountain of various dishes had already been piled up on the round table.
Paddy has been scolded by Zhepu a lot these days...
The arrival of the Straw Hats not only caused a sharp decrease in the number of diners in the restaurant, but in just a few days, the food they ate had already exceeded 1000W Bailey according to the market price!
If the Straw Hats don't leave immediately...
They are going to suffer a huge loss from this deal!
the other side.
Although the female companion was teased by Sanji, the LSP, because he was afraid of Luffy, Hebodi did not make a noise in the restaurant like in the original plot. Instead, he endured everything and just wanted to finish the meal quietly.
Unfortunately……
He is destined to suffer this fate today!
Bang!
Before Hebodi's order could be served, Barati's door was suddenly pushed open by the embarrassed navy who was already beaten and bleeding.
"Captain Heboldy! Not good!!!"
"The leader of the Creek Pirates, Kimito Akin, whom we captured before,... escaped!!!"
"How can it be!?"
Hebodi, who had just regained his composure and was bragging to his female companion, suddenly changed his expression.
He slammed the table and stood up quickly.
"Tell me what happened!?"
"I……"
The injured navy was about to speak, but at this moment...
boom! ! !
With a sudden flash of fire, the navy soldier who was reporting was stunned. He was hit by a lead bullet and fell to the ground.
"scare!"
Usopp, who was sitting at the door, was frightened by this sudden turn of events.
The other members of the Straw Hats also stopped what they were doing and looked towards the door.
I saw a sloppy-looking man wearing a striped headscarf staggering into the restaurant, and then sat down directly on a chair.
It is the ghost man Akin that the navy soldier just mentioned!
The plot that follows is not much different from the original timeline.
The hungry Ah Jin happened to find Paddy, a wealthy man, and threatened him with food with a musket in his hand.
And Paddy, who was not even afraid of Luffy, naturally would not give Jin any good looks. After learning that Jin could not pay, he hit Jin half to death with a heavy hammer and threw him out of the restaurant.
Such a cruel act scared Heboldi to the point where he didn't dare to stay in the restaurant and left in despair.
The Straw Hats sat in their original positions, making no movement from beginning to end, just eating quietly, as if they were watching a good show.
But suddenly, Zoro's brows suddenly frowned.
"Hey, Chihong..."
He called Chi Hong and then raised his finger.
"What's wrong?"
Red looked in the direction Zoro pointed, and saw Sanji carrying a bowl of fried rice and walking towards the deck where Jin was thrown out.
Seeing this, he instantly grinned.
Chihong, who knew the subsequent plot, sighed softly:
"It seems that our cook is really unusually gentle~"
"Hmph~" Zoro frowned and made a disdainful sound from his nose, "I just hope that his good intentions will not be regarded as a donkey's heart."
"The Creek Pirates have always been famous in the sea for their danger and cunning!"
If it were before, Zoro certainly wouldn't care what Sanji did.
But after learning that Sanji was the target of Luffy and Chihong, he naturally couldn't stand Sanji's behavior that could easily cause trouble for himself and those around him.
However, Chihong didn't feel much about this, but instead said with a smile:
"What does it matter? Isn't a cook's job just to keep everyone fed?"
"Everyone has their flaws, and that's what brings us together, don't you think?"
As a time traveler, Chi Hong is well aware of the shortcomings of Sanji and even everyone in the Straw Hats.
For example, Luffy always puts the team into dangerous situations due to impulsiveness or playfulness;
Sauron's road-crazy touch at the world rules level will make him unable to find the right path at the critical moment;
Nami's thirst for money will force the team to take on unnecessary work;
Usopp's timidity and weakness make it difficult for him to cope with frontal combat;
Even Chihong herself...
Although he is a time-traveler who is familiar with the plot and has a golden finger, before the time-travel, he was just an ordinary college student after all.
Since going to sea, Chihong seems to be in control of everything, but he also knows that his abilities are limited.
One day, the world will become unfamiliar to him.
So in order to not have to rush when that day comes, he must make good use of the Pokémon world to make the Straw Hats as powerful as possible!
In fact, keeping people hungry is not Sanji's biggest shortcoming.
His real shortcoming is his chivalrous spirit of never kicking a woman!
But precisely because everyone has things they cannot do, everyone also has things only they can do...
That’s why they become partners, stay together through thick and thin, and achieve each other’s success!
"...That's right."
After listening to Chihong's statement, Zoro suddenly fell silent, and his original dissatisfaction with Sanji's behavior also dissipated.
After a moment, he suddenly leaned his hands on the back of his head in relief and smiled reassuringly:
"Sure enough, the deputy captain is thoughtful~ It seems that I will just be my combatant from now on!"
"Combatants alone are not enough."
Chi Hong raised his wine glass, made an inviting gesture towards him, and added with a smile:
"Our team has just started. If there are any young partners who need to be taken care of in the future, you have to do more~"
"Nanny Zoro!"
Zoro frowned, showing a puzzled expression: "What kind of strange name is this?"
Having said that, he still picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it with Chi Hong.
Clang~!
The crisp echo slowly dissipated in the noisy restaurant.
