Chapter 33 - Chapter 33 Krieg Pirates

Inside the restaurant.

"Mmm!!! This meat Patty is too delicious."

"This sashimi is also good!"

"The sake isn't bad either!"

"Delicious!"

Luffy's table of people wildly exclaimed about the deliciousness of the restaurant's food, their mouths never resting for a moment.

"Here are all your dishes. Please enjoy your meal."

Sanji placed a plate on the table and said with a polite smile.

"Sanji, your food is really delicious."

Luffy, his mouth full of meat, mumbled out a compliment.

Sanji smiled knowingly at his words.

"Then don't you dare waste it! I hate people who waste food the most."

"Don't worry, we won't waste it."

Bang!

Just as everyone was chatting, a gunshot suddenly rang out from the restaurant entrance.

Everyone looked over and saw a haggard, weathered man with a headband holding a gun, walking in and sitting down at the nearest table by the door.

"Anything edible, no matter what it is."

"Bring it to me now, do you hear?"

The man said weakly to the restaurant.

The restaurant was silent. Everyone was drawn to the sudden scene, staring quietly at the man.

Luffy, at this moment, searched his memories and quickly identified the newcomer.

Gin, an executive of the Krieg Pirates, the strongest pirate crew in the East Blue.

Just then, a figure quietly approached Gin.

Patty, with a face like Masira, rubbed his hands, his fleshy face squeezed together, revealing an ugly smile, and said with a chuckle, "Welcome, customer. Do you have money?"

Gin sneered, raised his gun, and pressed it against Patty's forehead, saying,

"How about this?"

Patty still maintained a smiling expression, but the next moment...

Bang!

Patty suddenly raised his thick, Masira-like arms and slammed them down with force.

Gin, who was already weak, immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground.

Then, Gin was thrown out the door like trash.

"If you don't pay, I won't be polite!"

Patty bumped his fists and returned to the restaurant once more.

"Oh! Patty is awesome!"

"So cool!"

The customers in the restaurant cheered and applauded Patty excitedly.

At this moment, Sanji, who had been by Luffy's table, suddenly left and headed towards the kitchen.

...

Outside the restaurant, Gin lay on the ground like a dying wild dog, his body trembling uncontrollably, and his stomach rumbling non-stop.

Just then, a sudden, strong aroma wafted towards him.

Then, he heard someone say,

"Eat!"

Gin looked up and saw a man with curly blonde eyebrows placing a plate of fragrant seafood fried rice and a glass of water in front of him.

Smelling the intoxicating deliciousness, Gin pounced on the food like a wild dog, picked up the plate, and began to eat heartily.

He ate and cried uncontrollably.

"Delicious, truly delicious, it's really too delicious."

Sanji's lips couldn't help but curl upwards as he listened to Gin's praise.

"If it's delicious, eat more."

After eating and drinking his fill, Gin gratefully knelt and thanked Sanji before bidding farewell.

Sanji, seeing Gin full of vitality once again, also smiled broadly and felt happy.

Just then, a voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"He's from the Krieg Pirates. If you let him go back like this, he'll bring the entire Krieg Pirates back."

Sanji turned around and saw Luffy sitting on the railing of the restaurant's second floor, looking at him.

Sanji lit a cigarette for himself and said leisurely,

"I only know he's hungry, and I'm a chef."

"It's my duty to feed hungry people."

"I've experienced that feeling of hunger, so when I see hungry people, I'll make sure they're fed."

"As for other things, I don't care."

Luffy had already expected Sanji's answer. He then asked,

"What if they come back and threaten this restaurant?"

"Do you want to see this restaurant destroyed with your own eyes?"

Sanji fell silent at his words, took a deep drag from his cigarette, and said,

"If they really want to destroy this restaurant, then I'll use my life to stop them."

No sooner had Sanji finished speaking than an angry roar suddenly came from the restaurant entrance.

"You idiot, who wants you to die for this restaurant of mine?!"

"If you were thinking of this restaurant, hurry up and get out of here, so customers don't complain every day about you harassing female customers."

"Do you know how many customers we've lost because of you?"

Sanji looked over at the sound and saw Zeff, with his braided beard, looking at him with a disgusted expression.

Immediately, anger appeared on Sanji's face, and he retorted without politeness,

"Stupid old man, don't even think about kicking me out. I'm staying here for life."

Zeff ignored Sanji and instead looked up at Luffy.

"Hey, kid! Didn't you want to find that guy to be your chef?"

"I agree. Hurry up and take that guy away!"

There was helplessness in Zeff's eyes.

He was also worried that Krieg's crew would come back to kill them. As the strongest pirate crew in the East Blue, these few retired pirate chefs would definitely not be their match.

Especially since his strength had significantly declined due to his lost leg.

He didn't want Sanji to die here with them.

So he thought of having Luffy quickly take Sanji away, no longer bothering to thoroughly investigate Luffy.

"Damn old man, don't make decisions for me without my permission!"

Sanji glared at Zeff with an angry expression.

Luffy looked at the two who outwardly disliked each other but secretly cared for each other, then suddenly smiled slightly and said,

"I will definitely take Sanji, but only after I help you drive away the Krieg Pirates."

Zeff looked at Luffy, his eyes flickering.

"You..."

He hadn't expected Luffy to be willing to help them protect the restaurant.

His resolve to hand Sanji over to Luffy grew even stronger.

Meanwhile, Sanji's heart was filled with conflict.

He was very grateful that Luffy made such a decision, but he couldn't bear to leave Zeff just like that.

"Hey! Hurry back and cook, Sanji."

"Are you slacking off again, you bastard?"

Patty's call came from inside the restaurant.

Their conversation abruptly ended there.
