A cook, vice-captain of the Rocks Pirates?

Book author: Sifang Dile

Ryan was reborn in the world of One Piece. His parents are unknown and he was picked up and adopted by an old man.

Fortunately, he was born with the ability of observation Haki, and most importantly, Ryan was also bound to a god-level cooking system.

The cooking skill levels are divided into general, fine, excellent, top, master, unparalleled, and god-level.

He even conquered Rocks with his cooking skills.

In order to improve his cooking skills, Ryan joined the Rocks Pirates. When Whitebeard, Golden Lion, Kaido, Big Mom... these legendary pirates boarded the ship one by one, they found that this pirate group was a paradise for gourmets.

Ryan, a cook, became the vice-captain of the Rocks Pirates. ... Steel Bone Sora: "If Ryan wasn't a cook, his bounty would probably be higher than Rocks'!"

Garp: "Sooner or later I'm going to capture this fellow Ryan and bring him to the Navy Headquarters to be a cook!"

Chapter 1 Raine

A small island surrounded by the sea, covering an area of ​​tens of square kilometers.

In the slightly dilapidated wooden kitchen, the boiling oil in the iron pot crackled and popped, and the rich aroma of meat mixed with the spiciness of spices dominated the entire space.

A few daring villagers peeked out from behind a tree not far away, looking toward the only simple restaurant at the village entrance.

At the restaurant entrance, a tall man with wild black hair was tapping the table with his knuckles, making a dull sound.

The plates on the table were licked clean, not a single drop of sauce was left.

"Hey, kid."

The man's voice was rough and carried an irresistible sense of pressure.

"Your food is very good."

Eight-year-old Ryan calmly wiped the kitchen knife in his hand, the blade reflecting his youthful yet remarkably composed face.

"Thank you for the compliment."

"Hahaha……"

The man suddenly burst into deafening laughter, which startled the seabirds under the eaves, causing them to flap their wings and fly away into the distance.

"Be my chef!"

He wasn't discussing it; he was announcing a fait accompli.

"Come with me to sea. My name is Lox, Lox D. Gibbek."

Rocks.

Ryan paused for a moment as he wiped his knife.

This name will become a nightmare for the entire world for decades to come.

He almost became the King of the World, a legend whose defeat was only possible with the combined efforts of the Navy and Roger.

Rocks is still very young, a rookie pirate who has just set sail with a few crew members in a dilapidated ship.

[A critical decision has been detected facing the host: an invitation to become the future maritime hegemon.]

[Option 1: Refuse Rocks, Reward: 500 Cooking Points, Naval Six Styles Iron Body Proficiency (Beginner)]

[Option 2: Agree to become Rocks' chef. Rewards: 2000 Cooking Points, unlock the new ingredient encyclopedia for the Grand Line (initial stage), and obtain the exclusive reward, Endless Seasoning Bottles.]

[God-Level Cooking System]

[Host: Ryan D. Gibeck]

[Cooking Skill Level: Top (45000/200000)]

[Medical Skill Level: Excellent]

【Cooking Skill Points: 8500】

The system's notification sounded perfectly clear in Raine's mind.

His culinary skills have been stuck at the premium level for a long time.

Some images floated into my mind.

It has been eight years since I was reborn into the world of One Piece.

Ryan was an orphan whose parents were unknown. He was found and adopted by an old man in the village.

Unexpectedly, this body has quite good talent, and even has innate Observation Haki. When he was eight years old, he defeated a pirate who came to the village to steal things and had a bounty of eight million.

Most importantly, Raine is also bound to a god-level cooking system.

This system categorizes culinary skills into four levels: General, Fine, Excellent, Top, Master, Unparalleled, and God-like.

Each time you cook, you will gain experience points and cooking points based on the taste and difficulty of the dish. The tastier and more difficult the food, the more experience points and cooking points you will gain.

Each time you advance to a higher cooking skill level, you'll receive an exclusive reward. Additionally, these cooking skill points can be used to purchase various items in the system shop.

Physical techniques, weapons, the three types of Haki, the Six Powers of the Navy, famous swords... and so on, there are countless varieties...

They will also occasionally issue tasks that can improve Raine's cooking skills, and reward her for completing them.

Unfortunately, the ingredients available on this small island, and even in the surrounding waters, can no longer provide him with any more experience points.

To advance and become stronger, one must venture into a wider world and seek out the finest ingredients.

The ocean is the ultimate treasure trove for all chefs.

And Rocks' ship was undoubtedly the fastest ship to reach that treasure vault.

Why would I go to sea with a pirate like you?

Ryan spoke, his tone unlike that of a child, but rather like that of an adult negotiating.

Lox grinned, revealing a wild and untamed smile.

"Because your dishes are only fit for future sea kings, not for these villagers in this remote and impoverished place who can't even afford meat."

His words were direct and harsh, causing humiliation and anger to appear on the faces of the villagers who were watching from a distance.

"Raine! Don't listen to him!"

An old but powerful voice came from behind Renn.

The old man who adopted Ryan walked out with a cane, his wrinkled face filled with vigilance and unease.

He spread his arms to shield Renn behind him, his cloudy eyes fixed on Lox.

"Pirates are a bunch of heartless bastards! All they do is rob and kill! You can't take away our village's hope!"

The old man had watched Ryan grow up, and he knew how extraordinary the boy was.

A month ago, eight-year-old Rein defeated a pirate with a bounty of eight million who wanted to rob the island. This talent should not be wasted on a pirate ship.

Lox's smile faded slightly as he sized up the old man blocking his way.

He wasn't angry; instead, he found it somewhat amusing.

"Old man, this is not something you can decide."

Lockes looked past the old man and at Relein.

"Kid, tell me your answer."

"Come with me, and I can show you the world's rarest ingredients, challenge the most powerful sea monsters, and taste flavors that only exist in legends."

"Stay here, and you'll spend your whole life running this shabby little shop, making grilled fish for these poor bastards."

The atmosphere solidified at this moment.

The sea breeze seemed to have stopped blowing.

All attention was focused on the eight-year-old child.

Renn stepped out from behind the old man.

First, he looked up at the old man, whose eyes were filled with pleading and worry.

Then, Ryan turned to Locke, his gaze completely different, filled with calm and decisiveness.

"I need to prepare."

As soon as he said those words, the old man's body trembled violently, and he almost lost his grip on the wooden cane.

"Raine! You..."

"grandfather."

Ryan interrupted the old man, and the way he addressed him added a touch of warmth to his tone.

“When you found me, I had nothing. It was you and the villagers who raised me with food and water. I will never forget this kindness.”

After a pause, Ryan's voice became clearer.

“But this place is too small. My goal is to make dishes that even the gods would admire. To achieve this goal, I must go to the sea.”

There was no hesitation in Ryan's words, and his awareness beyond his years shocked everyone present.

Lockes' smile returned, this time a genuine expression of appreciation.

"Hahaha! Good! Well said! That's more like the crew of Rocks D. Gibbek!"

The old man's lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but in the end it turned into a long sigh.

He knows Ryan.

Once this child makes a decision, no one can change it.

Ryan didn't say anything more; he turned and went into the small room behind the restaurant.

Chapter 2 Endless Seasoning Bottles

Ryan's luggage was simple.

A few changes of clothes, and a long object wrapped in cloth.

That was Ryan's most prized kitchen knife.

When Raine came out again, the villagers gathered around.

They stopped hiding and their faces showed complex emotions.

There was reluctance, worry, and also a hint of envy and anticipation.

"Raine, take this with you; it's the best dried fish in the village."

"Raine, this is a talisman my wife sewed for you. I hope it will protect you."

"You brat, don't you dare embarrass our village when you get out there!"

Simple, honest faces, sincere words.

Ryan took the things they handed him and bowed deeply to everyone.

"thank you all."

Raine walked over to the old man and placed a small wooden box in his hands.

"Grandpa, this is some money I've saved up over the years. Please keep it and don't work so hard anymore."

The old man clutched the wooden box tightly, his eyes already moist.

"Take good care of yourself while you're out there."

"Ah."

Renn nodded heavily.

He took one last look at the village where he had lived for eight years, and at these familiar faces.

Then, Rein resolutely turned around and walked towards the simple pirate ship docked on the shore.

Lockes was already waiting by the ship, and the crew behind him were curiously looking at the little cook who was about to board the ship.

"Ready?"
