83: Chapter 83 Duck's BetrayalOn the other side, Luo was still flipping through medical books, but the noisy sounds of two people and a bear outside made him realize that everyone seemed to have finished their business.
"Looks like it's time to set sail," Law thought.So he packed up and prepared to weigh anchor.But as he was moving, Law heard Bepo shouting.
"Luo, wait a minute, don't move that anchor.We're not leaving today!"
Luo lowered his hand, which was about to press the button, and looked at the white bear with a puzzled expression, waiting for him to continue.
Bepo quickly ran over and said, "The ship, the captain, has been chosen by the princess of this country and is about to enter the palace.So we've benefited from this and will be staying in the palace tonight."
Luo smacked his lips a few times, and said incredulously, "What kind of eyes does this country's princess have?What does she see in Luffy?"
Upon hearing this, Bepo hesitated for a moment before saying, "Perhaps it's the captain's eloquence.The stories he told on the ship were quite captivating, and I guess that's what attracted the princess?"
Luo thought for a moment and said, "Alright then, I'll hide the boat well, and we'll go into the palace together later to see what's going on."
Law then found an open space and used "Room" to move the submarine into the mud.He then marked the spot and followed Bepo and the others to Luffy's location.
Turning back to Wang Lufei, Weiwei saw that he had agreed to be her teacher and didn't want to stay in the market any longer, so she said:
"Let's go back now.While it's still early, I can prepare a meal for the teacher to formally become his disciple."
Wang Lufei hesitated for a moment and said, "My crew hasn't arrived yet.Wouldn't it be inappropriate to go back to the palace like this?"
Weiwei glanced at Icarus, who had curly hair behind her, and said, "Then why don't I have my guards wait for them here, and we'll head back to the palace first?I can't wait to cook a sumptuous lunch for my master."
Wang Lufei was very puzzled.Weiwei was acting strangely.Why was she in such a hurry to return to the palace?Did she need to use the restroom?Oh well, let her be.
So Wang Lufei said, "Alright then, let's go first.After we finish cooking, we can treat them to a meal too."
She smiled slightly and replied, "Okay, okay.My master's friends are my friends too.We share both good times and bad.I must treat them to a meal."
At the same time, I secretly thought, "So, you're going to take a few down with you even in your dying moments?Luckily, they're not outsiders, or I wouldn't have been able to do it.They're all your crew members, probably not good people either.This time, I'll wipe them all out, hehe!"
Afterwards, Weiwei happily led Wang Lufei and Run Fast back to the palace.
Upon arriving at the palace, Weiwei didn't rush to greet her father or use the restroom.Instead, she invited Wang Lufei to wait in the banquet hall.
He also placed the fast-running duck there as an alarm monitor, and then rushed to the restaurant to prepare the apprenticeship meal.
Wang Lufei was puzzled when he saw that Weiwei wasn't in a hurry to go to the toilet.He couldn't figure out what she wanted to do.In the original work, she wasn't a girl who liked to cook.
Then Wang Lufei lowered his head and asked Run Fast, "Skaarl, do you know what Weiwei is trying to do?I always feel like something's not quite right about her."
The duck first quacked twice in confusion, then quacked twice more seriously, and finally quacked twice more in fear.
Hearing the duck's quack, Wang Lufei nodded and replied, "Why did I call you Skaarl?"
"Run Fast" is such a tacky name.This is the stage name I came up with for you; it sounds much cooler.And are you saying Weiwei is trying to mess with me?
She gave me a mischievous grin when I turned my head.Whenever she gives that smile, Kosa always gets into trouble; this time it's probably my turn.
After receiving the answer, Wang Lufei nodded with great satisfaction, stroked the duck's feathers, and said, "Don't be afraid.I know you're not an accomplice.Weiwei's idea was entirely her own."
Okay, from now on you'll follow me.I'll lead you around, killing enemies in front while you take care of the killing from behind."
(The reason why Wang Lufei can understand the quacking of ducks is because he can hear the sounds of all things.However, he can only understand some general meanings and it's not that magical, so don't worry about it.)
After learning of Weiwei's thoughts, Wang Lufei didn't immediately rush into the kitchen to retaliate; instead, he remained calmly seated.He genuinely wanted to see how Weiwei would deal with him, choosing to remain unmoved and adaptable.
Meanwhile, on Weiwei's side, after arriving at the kitchen, she looked at the chefs inside and said, "We have a distinguished guest today, so everyone should give it their all.Whoever makes the spiciest and most delicious dish will receive a big reward."
One of the chubby chefs raised his hand and said softly, "What's the problem?Speak up!"
The chubby chef said, "Princess, it's not that we're being nosy, but why does it have to be as spicy as possible?"
He gave a slightly mischievous smile and replied, "This distinguished guest comes from the New World.He's used to spicy food.This time, after trying some local dishes in our country, he said that our food isn't spicy at all and has no flavor at all."
I couldn't stand it anymore, so I immediately brought him over to taste your cooking.We can't let outsiders look down on our Alabasta cuisine!We'll put in ghost peppers, death peppers, and all sorts of spicy stuff—enough to kill him with spiciness!"
Upon hearing this explanation, the chefs' eyes lit up, and they prepared to use all their skills to teach that arrogant New World guest a lesson.
The plan was to prepare a dish so spicy it would kill you with spice, yet so irresistible it would leave the honored guest unable to eat it, yet desperately wanting to, until finally, tears streamed down their face at the dinner table.
Meanwhile, Law and his group were also led by Icarus to the banquet hall.Upon seeing Luffy, Law immediately said:
"Honey, we're not going to.""Shouldn't you hurry to Drum Kingdom to quell the unrest?Why are you still leisurely playing the role of a prince consort in the palace?"
This passage is full of flaws.Wang Lufei took a deep breath and said to Law, "First of all, although I don't know what Bepo and the others told you, I am not a prince consort in the palace.I am just a mentor to the princess."
Secondly, I have an informant in the Drum Kingdom.The current unrest has been stopped by a quack doctor from outside, and it won't break out anytime soon.Moreover, Princess Weiwei is too kind to refuse, so it wouldn't hurt for us to stay here for a couple of days before leaving.
Thirdly, why do you call me "head of the family"?We're not bandits; only bandits call each other that.
Luo nodded and replied, "Since the turmoil hasn't started yet, it won't hurt to stay a while."
As for why I call you "Head of the House," I learned it from Grandpa Wolf.He often addressed others that way.
Okay, it's confirmed.Wolf was a bandit in his youth.No wonder he has the Alabasta Perpetual Pointer; he used to be a mountain king in that area.
