One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

"Hello, I... my name is Luo Xia."

Luo Xia scratched his head shyly.

This was the first time I had ever interacted with people from outside Red Leaf Village in such a formal way.

Rorschach seemed a little reserved.

After all, the combined age of his two lifetimes is only twenty-seven.

In his past life, he suffered from severe depression and closed himself off from the world for many years, having very few friends he could talk to.

I've never had depression in my life, but I've developed an even worse binge eating disorder.

His terrifying appearance made all the children in Red Leaf Village unwilling to get too close to him.

Even the adults were somewhat afraid of him, a boy who was only twelve years old in reality.

The main concern is that his illness is contagious.

Therefore, the adults in the village usually tell their children not to come to Luo Xia's house to play.

His name was Rorschach.

Lark keenly sensed Luo Xia's restraint, which suddenly made her less nervous.

She brought her hands, which had been behind her back, to the front, and was carrying a three-tiered food box.

Although the food box was covered, a rich aroma of food still wafted out, making Rorschach's hungry stomach rumble again.

Luo Xia felt a little embarrassed, but then he saw Yun Que hand over the food box in her hand. "You haven't eaten for seven days. Here, this is freshly made food."

"Th...thank you." Luo Xia quickly took it.

Hearing Luo Xia's thanks, Yun Que's face flushed slightly.

The food container felt slightly heavy, indicating that it contained a considerable amount of food.

Rorschach took out a portion and then handed the food box back to Doss and Lark.

"Let's eat together."

"No, no, we've already eaten," Doss shook his head.

Lark nodded, "We've already eaten."

“Alright then, I’ll start eating…” Rorschach licked his lips and opened the lid of the food box.

The rich aroma of meat wafted into Luo Xia's nostrils, whetting his appetite and causing his mouth to water uncontrollably.

So delicious.

Rorschach had never tasted such delicious meat in his entire life.

Seeing Luo Xia swallowing his saliva, Dao Si chuckled, "Smells delicious, doesn't it? Tonight's dinner is a specialty of the North Sea: steamed oarfish with salt and pepper. This is Chef Denuo's most famous dish. The steamed oarfish is tender and smooth, melting in your mouth. Paired with the refreshing salt and pepper seasoning, you won't feel greasy no matter how much you eat..."

While Dawes was still talking, Rorschach had already carefully opened all three food boxes and poured the contents directly into the open mouth.

Splash!

"It's so delicious!" Luo Xia licked his lips, closed the food box again, touched his still empty stomach, and sighed, "But I feel even hungrier now."

"You eat so fast! Are you doing magic?" Doss almost choked on his own saliva, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.

The lark's little eyes widened. "That's enough food for five people..."

"Sorry, I'm just too hungry." Luo Xia said somewhat awkwardly.

cluck cluck...

My stomach started growling again.

His face turned red.

It was too dark for Doss and Lark to see clearly.

"In that case, let's hurry back to the warship. I remember there's plenty of food in the kitchen; it should be enough to fill you up."

...

A dozen minutes later, on the deck of the warship.

Doss and Lark stared wide-eyed at Rorschach sitting on the ground, speechless.

Plates upon plates of various delicacies were devoured by Luo Xia like autumn leaves swept away by the wind.

The thick bone was crushed to pieces under his teeth, like sugarcane.

Before he could even swallow it, another large plate of ramen was grabbed by Rorschach and then inhaled in a whirlwind.

The plate clattered to the ground, and Luo Xia, like a starving ghost reincarnated, reached out to grab another plate piled high with garlic fish fillets.

He chewed quickly, the dozen or so fish fillets filling his cheeks until they were bulging, like a squirrel with its mouth stuffed full of food.

Despite eating enough food for dozens of people, Rorschach's stomach remained flat, showing no signs of swelling.

Even more outrageous, while he was stuffing himself, his stomach was rumbling like thunder.

"Hungry...so hungry..."

The food in front of him had been cleared out, and Luo Xia's mouth was half open, his mouth drooling profusely.

In his pupils, faint red blood vessels were spreading.

The more I eat, the hungrier I get!

At this moment, Rorschach was like an insatiable gluttonous beast, his desire to eat growing wildly in his heart.

He needs more food.

The fat chef named Denuo was also stunned.

He hadn't expected that enough food for fifty people on the warship would be devoured by Luo Xia in just a few dozen seconds.

Moreover, judging from Rorschach's appearance, he didn't seem to have eaten enough.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, the chubby chef's small eyes lit up with excitement.

He grinned, clenched his fist, pointed at Luo Xia whose eyes were bloodshot, and roared, "Very well! My favorite thing about Deno is a big eater! Luo Xia, right? I accept your challenge! You just wait, let me show you my exclusive secret technique, supersonic cooking!"

"Bring me the ingredients and my pot!"

"Why does eating make me feel so excited?!" Doss's lips twitched wildly.

"That's not the point, is it? The point is... why did he eat so much, but his stomach didn't change at all!" Hibari exclaimed in disbelief.

"Could this be the gluttony that Rorschach was talking about?" Doss pondered.

"Amazing! He actually ate all the food meant for fifty people! This guy can eat a lot!"

The naval soldiers on the warship were shocked to see the fat chef already getting ready, rubbing his hands together, rolling up his sleeves, and preparing to get to work. They couldn't help but get excited and gathered around.

Meanwhile, the battle between the chef and the competitive eater officially began with the first giant bowl of takoyaki coming out of the oven.

"Take this! Takoyaki appetizer for ten people! Next up is salt-baked snails for twenty people!"

The fat chef's body jiggled like waves as he unleashed his full power. His hands moved like phantoms as he smoothly washed, chopped, fried, stir-fried, steamed, and roasted the large amount of ingredients that the soldiers had brought from the deck next to him.

His speed was incredibly fast, truly as he described, his cooking skills were like supersonic speed.

This is his proud cooking secret, the reason he is confident that he can single-handedly take charge of the meals for two hundred soldiers on this large warship.

however!

"He finished eating! He finished eating in a flash!"

"Too fast! My supersonic cooking skills can't keep up!"

"If Chef Denor's cooking skills are supersonic, then this kid's eating speed is the speed of light!"

Hearing the loud chatter of the soldiers behind him, Denor's fat face turned bright red, as if it were about to burst into flames.

The lark's little face flushed red, and she jumped up excitedly, waving her hands and shouting:

"Come on, Uncle Denor! Don't lose to Rorschach!"

"Of course! I am... Supersonic Deno! Take this! Twenty servings of Emerald Boiled Seaweed!"

"Simple yet delicious cooking; even when speed is the priority, flavor should not be neglected. This is my motto in life!"

Akainu emerged from the cabin with a bulging vein on his forehead and a head full of black lines.

Chapter 10 The Innate Return of Life

"Go for it! Go, Chef Denuo!"

"The head chef can't keep up with Rorschach's eating speed at all! He's too fast! Is his stomach connected to another dimension?"

A crescent moon hung in the sky, casting its soft glow.

The sea was dark and deep, and the distant islands appeared somewhat lonely.

But the warships docked at the shore were bustling with activity.

This is the first time ever that Akainu's warship has been so lively.

Whether soldiers, officers, or cooks, everyone was flushed and shouting excitedly.

The lively atmosphere even affected the seventeen unfortunate women on the warship, slightly lifting their spirits.

The happiest of all was the lark.

Although she started learning about navigation, combat, medicine, intelligence, and many other subjects from a very young age, she followed many important figures in the Navy Headquarters.

But she is, after all, just an eleven-year-old girl.

It's in a child's nature to enjoy lively and bustling atmospheres.

On ordinary days, liveliness is as rare and precious as the legendary One Piece on Akainu's ship.

Along the way, while the warship was sailing, let alone creating any lively atmosphere, even the soldiers were afraid that Akainu would hear them if they breathed a little louder.

According to Dawes, on Akainu's ship, even a fart has to be accompanied by a swallow's breath.

Who can blame them when the highest-ranking officer is such a serious, unromantic guy?

But for some reason, they suddenly loosened up today.
