Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me

The craftsman's skill is worth the price.

Rocks addressed Sanji, "You and Boss Zeff will cook all our dishes, is that alright?"

Sanji glanced at Rocks and nodded again: "Okay, please wait a moment, guest."

He felt that the other party must have been to Barati before, otherwise he wouldn't have specifically asked him to cook with the old man.

The old man and his culinary skills are the first and second best among the chefs in Baratie.

Yeah, he's first, and that old geezer is second!

After Sanji left, Nami glanced around, her gaze sweeping over the waiters, or rather, the chefs. She muttered, "I don't think the people here are chefs; they seem more like sea monsters..."

Locke picked up his water glass, took a sip, and casually remarked, "The owner of this restaurant used to be a hailed shrew."

Nami was somewhat surprised: "The terracotta warrior man is holding N teachers hostage?"

Kuina's focus was on strength: "Those people don't seem weak. No wonder they can run restaurants at sea and aren't afraid of the sea thugs."

"We're just here to eat, why are you making such a fuss?"

Lockes leaned back in his chair, oblivious to these thoughts.

Instead, he was thinking about whether or not to recruit Sanji into his team.

He is currently missing a chef.

Sanji is a lecherous chef.

However, he is well-versed in the ways of the knight, lustful but not lewd, making him a very good companion...

Baratie served the food quickly; Rocks and his companions didn't have to wait long before Sanji and the restaurant owner, Zeff, brought the dishes to the table.

Balati truly lives up to its reputation as a famous restaurant in the East China Sea; its culinary skills are indeed superb, and its dishes are a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate.

It's far, far better than Rocks' cooking...

"Is this customer's first time at our restaurant?"

Zeff wore a warm smile, but his eyes were actually scrutinizing Rocks.

I just heard Sanji say that a customer requested him to cook for them, so out of curiosity, I came over as well.

Zeff's memory is pretty good; if Rocks visited Baratie, he shouldn't forget.

Because the other person's appearance and temperament are very outstanding.

Chapter 28 What's Garp doing here?

Rocks had already started tasting the food, and it was indeed quite delicious. He casually replied to Zeff, "Yeah, first time here."

Zhepu then chuckled and asked, "Does the guest know anything about our Barati?"

What do you mean by that?

"They wouldn't have assigned me to cook with Sanji if they didn't know anything about Baratie."

"Oh, is that the reason?"

Locke smiled and continued, "I know a little about your situation, but don't worry, I'm not here to cause trouble, I just want to taste your cooking."

"The better the chef's skills, the more delicious the food will be, right?"

"so it is."

Zeff's eyes flickered, and he nodded: "Then we won't disturb our guests any longer."

Judging from the other person's words, they may know that he was once a Haili Nagan.

Knowing full well that he had a history of infidelity, yet remaining so calm, it's clear he has a lot of confidence...

"You all go ahead with your work."

Lox waved his hand, still engrossed in the delicious food.

Enjoying the delicious food, Rocks was even more eager to recruit a highly skilled chef to his team.

Although he is not a picky eater, he can eat any kind of food.

But if the food tastes better, that's also a kind of enjoyment, isn't it?

Nami commented on Baratie's food: "It tastes really good, much better than what you made, Rocks. I wish I could eat this every day!"

"Mmm, it's delicious."

Kuina also agreed.

Looking at Lox, she said, "Speaking of which, we need a chef too, don't we?"

Locke quickly finished his food and replied, "I'm considering it. If possible, I'd like to pack up Barratier and take it with me..."

Kuina shook her head: "I don't think they'll agree. They've already chosen the wrong path, and they're afraid to admit it!"

Lox asked, "If we can't get everything packed up, how about choosing just one chef? What do you guys think of that blond guy from earlier?"

Kuina neither refused nor agreed, leaving the decision to Rocks: "It's up to you, you're the captain."

"Huh? That lecherous guy?"

Nami then offered her opinion: "Although his cooking skills are good, he's lecherous, which I don't really like..."

Her first impression of Sanji wasn't very good.

Smoking in a restaurant and lecherously fawning over someone—he doesn't seem like a good person at all.

Nami felt somewhat resistant to it.

That was my first impression, heavily influenced by my personal opinion...

"Oh, then forget it."

Upon hearing this, Lockes abandoned his idea.

Although Sanji is one of the candidates for chef, it is more important to consider the feelings of his companions.

Besides, there are plenty of people who can cook on the high seas.

You won't have trouble finding it.

Even if he couldn't find a suitable one, Rocks could take on the role of chef himself.

He learns everything quickly, whether it's boxing, swordsmanship, or domineering aura... he masters them all with ease!

Could mere culinary skills possibly stump him?

"what?"

Nami was stunned for a moment.

He stuck out his tongue sheepishly: "I was just expressing my opinion. Rocks, you are the captain, your decision is the most important."

Rocks smiled and said, "I am the captain, that's true, but I only make decisions about the big picture. I will respect your opinions on the rest. We are comrades, not superiors and subordinates."

"Hmm!"

Nami nodded seriously.

Lox was very considerate of her feelings, which made her happy, and a bright smile appeared on her face.

"..."

Kuina glanced at Lox and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

In my heart, I felt that Rocks was indeed more suitable to be the captain than her; he was quite considerate...

While they were eating, Lockes suddenly heard an anxious shout: "Boss, boss, something bad has happened!"

Lockes looked in the direction of the sound and found it was a restaurant called Hai Ruo Bei Ye Yi Ling M.

The man's face was pale. He ran to another table and urgently said to a burly man, "A warship is coming this way!"

"A warship?"

This burly man must be Hai Sitou; upon hearing this, his expression changed slightly.

He quickly stood up and shouted to his men, "Quickly, get out of here!!"

Where can I find sea-blown plastic molding/molding?

Unless you are very confident in your own abilities!

However, they were just a small-time merchant ship, and their captain's bounty was only a few million Berries.

When faced with the navy, the only option is to flee...

"Hey, are you guys trying to dine and dash?"

Seeing that this group of people wanted to pay and leave, Sanji, who was acting as a waiter, blocked the doorway with a tray in his hand and said in an unfriendly tone: "There is no such option as dining and dashing in Baratie!"

"Get out of my way!!"

When the sea ox saw that Sanji dared to block its way, a fierce look appeared on its face.

With a curved sword drawn from its sheath, it slashed at Sanji without a word...

'boom! '

Then Sanji kicked him away, sending blood and several teeth flying, and the sea bream was instantly subdued...

'Bang bang bang...'

Then Sanji moved swiftly, unleashing a series of kicks, each kick sending a sea monster flying.

In just a dozen seconds, a dozen or so ships were destroyed.

"Here, the sea is desolate and barren, the water is teeming with taxes and wine!"

Sanji tapped his foot, not spilling a single drop of the mushroom soup on his plate, and said casually, "That's the rule here!"

The other patrons in the restaurant simply watched with amusement, showing no signs of panic.

Some people even applauded.

"Sanji is getting stronger and stronger!"

"Hahaha, just as expected of Hai Zhuo Tuiqin's nature, he never learns his lesson!"

"Excellent cooking skills and strong abilities, truly worthy of being a chef at Barratier!"

This is not the first time this has happened.

Regular customers are aware of this.

Barratier is a restaurant with a special atmosphere...

"Hahaha, I didn't expect there to be such a promising talent in this restaurant?"

Just then, a hearty laugh rang out.

Then Garp, wearing a Navy Justice Cloak and a dog-head hat, strode over.

Garp glanced at Sanji, his eyes full of approval, and laughed, "Hey kid, how about you come join the Navy with me? It's a bit of a waste for someone with your skills to be a waiter here!"

"No, I'm not interested in joining the navy..."

When Sanji saw the Marines arrive, he simply gave a casual reply.

Marines often come to Barati for meals.

Sanji was used to this.

However, when Sanji saw Garp's face clearly, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and his eyes showed a deep look of astonishment.

He recognized the other person's identity.

Marine hero Garp!

That legendary navy that repeatedly cornered Roger F!

'Garp...'

Not only did Sanji recognize Garp's identity, but Rocks did too.

It would be strange if I didn't recognize that face and that outfit...

Rocks raised an eyebrow, feeling even more surprised and confused: 'What's Garp doing here?'
