Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

Franky raised his mechanical arm. "Me too! The Legion of Evil sounds perfect for modification!"

"We will always stand by your side."

The others chimed in, even Zoro giving a rather displeased look, "If there's a fight, you can ask me for help."

Sanji stared blankly, opening his mouth but not knowing what to say.

Compared to the so-called family members of the Vinsmoke family, these partners are the real family.

However, there were people in the Vinsmoke family who were on his mind.

He suddenly thought of something and looked Luffy up and down.

"Hey, Luffy, if it's you, I wouldn't object."

"What do you mean you don't object?"

"I have an older sister named Vinsmoke Reiju."

Sanji said seriously, "Didn't those guys want to arrange a marriage between you? If it were you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Sanji felt a chill run down his spine.

He turned his head stiffly and saw Nami smiling at him.

Oh no, I said the wrong thing!

"Sanji, what are you trying to say?"

Vivi stood next to Nami, also smiling, but there was no smile in her eyes anymore.

Sanji broke out in a cold sweat. "N-nothing! I didn't say anything!"

He turned and ran, as fast as if he were running for his life.

Panz Frye and Lily stood by and witnessed the whole thing.

From battle to retreat, from confrontation to invitation, from marriage to farce... the giant father and daughter exchanged a glance.

Joining such a pirate crew wouldn't be bad, would it?

Panz Fry recalled the rumors about the Straw Hat crew; their reputation was still pretty good.

Moreover, I heard that Luffy and his crew also want to go to Elbaf, the land of giants, so the father and daughter can go back there on the way.

"It's decided."

Panz Fry spoke, his voice loud and clear.

Luffy looked up.

"I'm joining you!"

Luffy's eyes lit up, "Really?!"

"But there is one condition."

Panz Frye held up a giant finger, “Let me cook a volcano meal, using the best ingredients and the perfect cooking time, to give my future partners a real feast!”

"Great!"

Luffy shouted, "I agree to this request!"

"I want some too!" Chopper jumped up.

"Volcano cuisine, huh? I haven't had it in ages."

Jinbe stroked his chin.

Sanji, having lit a cigarette again at some point, stood over and said, "If you're talking about volcano cuisine, I can help too."

"Then let's have a banquet!"

At Luffy's command, the entire ship cheered.

For volcano cuisine, the most important thing is, of course, finding a volcano.

Panz Fry is quite familiar with this area, and his course is heading towards Uta's concert, so he doesn't need to take any detours.

His confiscated items are still on the naval warship.

After finding the volcano, Panz Fry pulled a huge bag from his pocket. It was his chef's bag, which he always carried with him and contained all sorts of precious ingredients and seasonings.

"Lili, go and catch two sea kings."

"it is good!"

"Let me help you," Jinbe said.

Soon, two huge sea fish were brought back.

Panz Fry took a huge iron pot from the naval ship, which was his specially built mobile kitchen, and then began to demonstrate real volcanic cuisine.

He cleaned the fish, rubbed it with his secret spices, and then something astonishing happened.

He suddenly threw the fish into the air, and then threw a punch!

The fist, carrying a fiery and domineering aura, actually erupted with volcanic heat the moment it collided with the fish in mid-air!

The fish was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside when it hit the ground, and its aroma was irresistible.

"This is way too outrageous!"

Usopp opened his mouth wide.

"Haki can be used like this?" Zoro was also stunned.

Panz Fry laughed heartily, "This is the essence of volcano cuisine: the high temperature instantly locks in the freshness, the powerful flavor permeates and infuses, plus special spices... Come on, have a taste!"

Luffy was the first to pounce and take a big bite.

Then he froze.

"Luffy?" Nami leaned closer worriedly.

Luffy slowly turned his head, his eyes sparkling, "Delicious!"

Is this the dish prepared by the world's number one chef?

"What kind of heavenly flavor is this?!"

Usopp took a bite of the roasted sea monster meat and praised it highly.

Luffy had entered a state of complete absorption, firing with both hands simultaneously, shouting, "Ten more servings, please!"

"Serves ten?"

Panz Frye laughed heartily, "Do you know what a serving of ten giants means?"

"Don't worry, for us chefs, Luffy is definitely the most popular," Sanji said with a smile.

No matter how much food Luffy makes, he will never waste it.

Panz Fry's culinary skills are indeed well-deserved. His ultimate control over the temperature of the flame, his profound understanding of the characteristics of ingredients, and his precise grasp of the timing of seasoning have all greatly benefited this self-proclaimed genius chef.

The two worked together seamlessly in the kitchen, one in charge of volcano roasting and the other in charge of fine seasoning, creating dishes that were simply works of art.

"Sanji, your cooking skills aren't bad either." Panz Fry patted Sanji on the shoulder, his huge hand almost shoving Sanji into the deck.

This is the power of the giants.

Sanji exhaled a puff of smoke. "Of course. I'm the man who's going to find ALL BLUE."

"ALL BLUE?"

Panz Fry's eyes lit up. "That's every chef's dream place!"

"You want to go too?"

"I?"

Panz Fry shook his head and laughed, "An old guy like me is fine. Being able to cook what I like and feed those in need is enough for me."

Sanji paused for a moment, then said seriously, "If I have the chance, I'll treat you to the All Blue fish I found."

"Haha, it's a deal then!"

The banquet lasted until late at night.

Everyone sat around on the deck, eating volcano-themed food, drinking wine, and singing songs.

Brook plays the violin, Lily dances to the rhythm, and Chopper and Usopp accompany her by banging on bowls.

However, after the banquet, a practical problem arose.

Lily has a Mini Fruit that allows her to freely change size, but what about Panz Frye?

The giant chef stood on the deck, his enormous figure blocking half the moonlight, looking somewhat awkward.

"How about I sit at the back of the boat and hold onto the mast?"

He scratched his head and made the suggestion.

“Don’t worry, we have experience with this kind of thing.” Luffy looked at Merry.

“Leave it to me,” Merry said with a smile.

"How could something like this happen..."

Before Panz Frye could finish speaking, the pale moonlight enveloped his massive body.

Under everyone's gaze, Panz Fry's body began to shrink. A few seconds later, the giant chef who had once blotted out the sky turned into a burly man who was over 1.8 meters tall.

"What... what is this?"

Panz Fry looked at his hands in disbelief.

"It's the power of the ship spirit."

Merry explained, "I can temporarily change the size of those boarding the ship so they can adapt to life on board. As long as they don't stray too far from me, you can stay this size. Shirahoshi is the same way."

White Star?

Then, in Panz Frye's eyes, the originally small white star grew to be more than ten meters tall.

"I... I'm a mermaid, not a sea king," Shirahoshi said in a cute and adorable manner.

"That's amazing!"
