"Plop!"
Ajin, who was already extremely hungry, was hit by Paddy, and the severe pain in his body instantly filled his brain.
It made it impossible for him to get up in a short period of time.
"hateful!"
"Has your body reached its limit?"
Ajin was unwilling to give up. He was originally captured by Hobodi, but for some reason the warship was inexplicably cut in two, so he escaped from the navy.
And he…
It was not easy to swim to a restaurant.
As a result, he became so miserable because he was too hungry.
The Straw Hat Pirates saw this scene.
Now I understand why Johnny said that the chefs here are like pirates. This is real fighting.
"Hey, hey, hey~"
"Is this really a member of the Crick Pirates, known as the strongest pirate fleet in the East China Sea?" Usopp asked in a low voice, "I don't think so either."
"How should I know?"
"But just hearing it is scary."
Nami shrank her whole body behind Bai Yu and Zoro. Only in this way did she feel safe.
"Um?"
Luffy then noticed that a chef with curly eyebrows in the crowd walked silently to the kitchen alone.
"Guests, please continue your meal."
After teaching Ajin a lesson, Paddy put on an exaggerated smile again and comforted the diners.
"I said, are you hungry?"
Luffy came out and stood at the fence on the second floor of the restaurant, looking at Jin lying on the deck, and said.
"I'm not hungry!"
Although Ajin was lying on the ground in a rather disheveled state, he was still too stubborn to admit it. However, his rumbling stomach betrayed him.
And just at this moment.
Snap——
The back door of the restaurant suddenly opened.
I saw a man with yellow hair, wearing a black suit, and the most noticeable thing was his curled eyebrows. He seemed to be a gentleman.
He brought a plate of fried rice and placed it in front of Ajin.
"Eat it."
Sanji came to the fence and sat down, then lit a cigarette and looked up at the blue sky.
But he didn't look at the other person's embarrassed appearance.
"Stop talking nonsense and go away!"
Ah Jin looked at the fragrant fried rice. Although he was too hungry to eat, he still said, "No matter how poor I am, I will not eat food given out of pity!"
"Hurry…quickly take it away!"
"It's up to you whether you want to eat or not, but to me, anyone who's hungry is a guest."
A puff of smoke came out of Sanji's mouth.
"The sea is vast and cruel."
"No one knows better than me how terrible it is to be without food and water in this ocean."
Sanji looked at the sky with complicated eyes.
He had once been trapped on an isolated island with the boss here, who was still a pirate at the time, Zeff, nicknamed 'Red Foot', and it took them 85 days to be rescued.
No one.
I can feel the horror and terror of starvation more personally than Sanji, and it has been since then.
It doesn't matter who is hungry.
They are all his guests.
Even if there are grudges, we have to settle them after eating.
"If you're going to force yourself to starve to death."
"I won't say anything, but if you eat it and survive, won't you be able to see a new tomorrow?"
Sanji turned his head and looked at Ajin with a slight smile on his face.
"Gurgle~"
Perhaps because of these words, Ajin was somewhat moved. He quickly sat up, picked up the plate of fried rice, and began to eat it voraciously.
It looked like a hungry beast.
Second floor terrace.
Luffy leaned over the railing and watched intently.
"It's delicious, so delicious! This is the first time I've eaten something so delicious!" Ah Jin ate while crying, "I thought I was really going to die…"
"Super delicious, right?"
Sanji held a cigarette between his lips and smiled.
"Luffy."
"Did you find the right chef?"
At this time, Bai Yu pushed open the door, looked at Luffy who was laughing loudly with his big white teeth showing, and walked to his side and smiled.
"Hahaha~ That's right!"
"Bai Yu, I found a good cook."
Luffy grinned, then stretched his head out over the railing and swung: "Hey, cook, join us!"
"Be the chef on my pirate ship!"
"Hah×2?!"
Sanji and Kin looked at Luffy in confusion.
"I refuse!" Sanji came to his senses and rejected Luffy's invitation without any hesitation.
"I have a reason to stay here."
"No, I refuse!"
However, Luffy was even more excited than Sanji.
Shan Ye was a little confused: "Reject what?"
"I refuse you to refuse me." Luffy crossed his arms and looked at Sanji, his expression serious and said: "You are a good cook, so follow me and become a pirate."
"Just listen to me!"
Sanji immediately couldn't help but transform into a fanged image.
"This funny guy…"
Bai Yu stood on the second-floor terrace, looking at Luffy and Sanji who were bickering below, and smiled helplessly.
Sanji, although he is one of the three great warriors in the original work.
But strictly speaking.
He is not a fighter, chef is Sanji's profession. Like Zoro, his profession is a pure fighter, but this is also the fact.
Before the exoskeleton was awakened.
Sanji's strength, whether two years later or two years ago, has always been one level behind Zoro.
After the exoskeleton awakens.
Sanji's combat power has also been greatly improved.
Even if it's a broken bone.
You can also recover by beating your body.
"What an interesting guy…"
A man with golden braids, wooden prosthetic limbs and a tall chef's hat stood on the second-floor terrace, watching the backs of Luffy, Shirahimi and Sanji as they entered the restaurant.
There was a lot of curiosity in his eyes.
Inside the restaurant.
Nami and the others took advantage of the fact that Bai Yu and Luffy were away and ordered a lot of dishes again, eating with happy faces.
After all, if those two people are there.
The five of them were never full.
"You're back?" Sauron took a sip of wine and glanced at Bai Yu who was walking over: "Where did you go just now?"
"I'm going to find Luffy."
"But he has found a suitable chef." Bai Yu smiled and pointed behind him: "Look, he's over there."
Not far away, Sanji was holding a bottle of wine and pouring it for the customers in the restaurant, while Luffy was following Sanji and seemed to be saying something.
"Nani!"
"How long has it been?"
The wine that Zoro was about to swallow suddenly spat out, his eyes full of surprise.
I waited for less than four hours before arriving at the restaurant.
Are you inviting people on board now?
And you didn't even have the most basic understanding of the person. You didn't even know who the person was, but you just invited him directly?
"Is this Brother Zoro's captain?"
"This is too casual!"
Johnny and Joseph, who didn't know Luffy very well, widened their eyes when they heard Bai Yu's words.
"This guy…"
Nami looked towards Luffy with a helpless look on her face.
"Don't worry."
"Luffy is not a reckless person." Bai Yu knew what they were thinking and explained, "I also looked at the chef. He just has a few minor flaws. Everything else is very good."
"Huh~"
"That's good, that's good…"
Everyone was relieved after hearing the explanation. They were afraid that Luffy would invite some strange people.
After all, there is a previous record of this happening on Rare Beast Island.
"Is that your partner?"
Luffy followed Sanji's gaze and saw Bai Yu and the others: "Yeah, what's wrong?"
"Stay by yourself."
As he said that, Sanji ran towards Nami who was sitting at the dining table, holding a rose in his hand. He knelt on one knee and handed it to Nami.
"Oh, the sea~"
"Thank you for letting me meet you today!"
Nami was a little confused by this sudden scene, and before she could react, Sanji's infatuated behavior was interrupted by a voice.
"Isn't this a good opportunity?"
"Stinky old man!"
"Just go with them. These guys are very interesting. I think your voyage with them will be very interesting as your companions."
"I'll say it again!"
"I won't be a pirate!"
Zeff ignored Sanji's yelling and just glanced at Luffy behind him, albeit a little foolishly.
Even though they have been together for a short time, Zeff can see the difference between Luffy and other pirates. He is not an evil pirate, but a pirate with dreams.
Leave Sanji to a guy like this.
He was also relieved.
