At this moment, Fullbody's expression was as colorful as it could be, staring blankly at the other side.
Was something wrong with his ears?!
That brat Luffy, he's Vice Admiral Garp's grandson?!
But then, under Lu En's gaze, he snapped back to reality, cold sweat beading on his forehead.
Fullbody confirmed it: he hadn't misheard!
This is truly messed up!
He originally wanted to bring the woman behind him to this famous sea restaurant, Baratie, to showcase his wealth and charm.
And encountering a pirate crew, Fullbody also wanted to display his power.
Wouldn't that completely win this woman over?
But the pirate crew he encountered turned out to be the one 'Heavenly King' Lu En was in.
And that unremarkable captain was Vice Admiral Garp's grandson?!
Was this still the weakest of seas, the East Blue? What kind of sick joke is this!
"Huh? Why are you sweating so much? Are you afraid of a bunch of pirates?"
And yet, the brainless woman behind him was still chattering.
Fullbody looked at Lu En's teasing expression on the opposite ship, gritting his teeth.
"Of... of course I'm not scared. It's just that if things get too bloody before this wonderful dinner, wouldn't it affect our appetite?"
Fullbody said, forcing himself.
He also had his pride.
No matter what, he was a Marine Headquarters Captain. If he didn't provoke him first, that Lu En probably wouldn't make things too difficult for him, right? Probably...
"Oh? Bloody? With your Iron Fist?"
Lu En looked at the iron gauntlets on Fullbody's fists and chuckled.
Seeing these, Lu En remembered the iron gauntlets that some teenagers on Earth used to play with.
In the world of pirates, using such things as weapons and calling oneself Iron Fist was simply laughable.
"!!!"
Fullbody looked at Lu En, who seemed ready to make a move. Cold sweat poured from his forehead like a waterfall; he couldn't stop it.
The other side is giving no face at all!
But he had no choice.
Letting him fight a monster that, according to Marine Headquarters rumors, would be groomed to be a future Headquarters Admiral if he were a Marine? He wouldn't even know how he died.
Moreover, he had personally experienced this man's terror. Just standing there, he didn't even have the courage to throw a punch.
If he was really beaten to death, it would be a meaningless death!
Damn it, that brat Luffy is Vice Admiral Garp's grandson!
Fullbody's forehead was covered in cold sweat.
"Wait, wait!"
"All expenses for today are on me!"
Fullbody raised his hand, shouting in panic.
Pride? What's more important than life?
"Free meal?"
Hearing this, Nami's eyes, hidden behind Lu En, lit up.
"Really? So you're actually a good guy."
Luffy instantly beamed with joy.
"Hey, in the eyes of ordinary people, we're the bad guys, and the Marines are the good guys."
Usopp, standing nearby, couldn't help but grumble.
"Looks like it!"
Luffy shouted, clutching his head.
"Then, let's not be polite."
Lu En looked amusingly at Nami, whose eyes were sparkling.
As long as she heard "no money," Nami's enthusiasm was higher than anyone else's.
But he couldn't blame Nami. After all, since she was ten, she had carried the heavy burden of earning a hundred million Berries to buy back her hometown.
Money, in Nami's eyes, represented the hope of her hometown. Over the years, it had already become a habit.
Compared to Nami's excitement, Lu En didn't even bother to release his Conqueror's Haki for a mere Fullbody.
Lu En had already checked Fullbody's attributes before. He didn't even have an attribute higher than purple. For Lu En, he was worthless.
"Heh heh."
Looking at Lu En, Nami adorably stuck out her little tongue, looking very cute.
Lu En's actions, which showed care for her emotions, warmed Nami's heart.
"You should, should."
Fullbody said, then hastily pulled his female companion onto a small boat and left, heading towards Baratie.
Just consider it a way to avoid disaster!
Fortunately, this pirate crew didn't have many people, so it probably wouldn't cost too much money.
Fullbody secretly thought.
"Let's go too, free meal, free meal."
Nami adorably raised her hand.
"Hee hee hee, someone's treating! Let's hurry and eat!"
Luffy grinned, drooling.
"Gum-Gum!"
Nami was about to order Zoro and the others to dock the ship when she saw the impatient Luffy. He grabbed the Going Merry's sheep head with both hands, stretching his arms far.
"Rocket!"
Luffy flew directly towards Baratie.
Boom!
With a loud bang, Luffy directly smashed a large hole in Baratie.
"This... idiot."
Zoro covered his head.
"Forget about Luffy. He'll handle it. Let's go order food."
Seeing that even without the Marine cannon attacks from the original story, Luffy, impatient to eat, still smashed a large hole in Baratie.
Lu En was already used to this. He looked at Nami and chuckled.
"May I have the pleasure of inviting you to dinner, beautiful lady?"
Lu En elegantly extended his right hand.
Nami was initially a little dazed. It was as if time had returned to their first encounter.
On that day, on the merchant ship, Lu En had also extended his hand to her, elegantly inviting her to dance.
"Of course."
Then Nami showed a sweet smile and placed her slender hand in Lu En's right hand.
But the feeling was completely different.
Feeling the warmth of Lu En's palm on her hand, Nami pursed her red lips.
...
"Esteemed guest, do you have a reservation?"
As soon as they entered the restaurant, a chef in a black uniform with a pink scarf around his neck walked over, his face displaying an exaggerated smile.
"Our expenses will be paid by that gentleman."
Lu En gestured to Fullbody, who had already taken a seat.
"Esteemed guest, please follow me!"
Seeing that this Marine Headquarters Captain didn't deny it, and even seemed a little afraid of this group of people, Patty immediately felt a big order was coming. He smiled so wide his face almost cramped.
"This menu."
Lu En sat down and looked at the menu.
"Hmm, what would you like to eat? All our dishes here are excellent!"
Patty was beaming with smiles.
"Five copies first."
Lu En said faintly.
"Puff!"
Fullbody, who had just taken a sip of water, immediately spat it out.
"Five copies?"
Patty was also stunned.
Ordering by copies was a first for him.
The dishes here were not cheap.
"What are you standing around for? Aren't you going to serve the food? Captain Fullbody of Headquarters, Iron Fist Fullbody, would he shortchange you?"
Lu En looked at Fullbody.
"..."
Fullbody felt his heart bleeding at this moment, but he dared not say a word of dissent.
He could feel a terrifying aura locking onto him. He simply couldn't escape!
Is this the power of 'Heavenly King' Lu En? So terrifying!
How could such a monster appear in the East Blue! And he just had the bad luck to run into him!
Fullbody's heart was bleeding, but he resigned himself to his fate.
He was definitely going to bleed a lot, so he might as well completely win over this woman before it was too late.
Fullbody smiled.
At this moment, a man with yellow hair, wearing a black suit, with the most noticeable feature being his curly eyebrows, walked towards Fullbody with a bottle of red wine.
It was Sanji, the cook of the Straw Hat Pirates in the original story.
"Check attributes."
Seeing Sanji, Lu En thought inwardly.
