The gourmet among pirates

Early the next morning.

Morin and others moved the One-Eyed Pirates' lair to Master.

With the rescued survivors, they left this uninhabited desert island.

On the warship, Mo Lin asked people to count the hometowns of these survivors, and planned to do the best to escort these people back to their hometowns.

But when the clerk found Molin with the calculated address, Molin had a headache and rubbed his temples.

"You mean, except for the guys who are being held for ransom, no one else wants to tell us the address of their hometown, nor do they want us to escort them back."

Clerk: "Yes, sir. None of the women who were rescued were willing to tell us their addresses."

"alright, I got it."

After thinking for a while, Mo Lin said, "In this case, you go down and tell those people that if they don't go back, I can send them to Rogge Town, a big city in the Kingdom of Ouikot, which is far away, and I can give them They will start over with a lump sum of money, ask them if they are willing."

"Yes!"

After the clerk went out, Mo Lin shook his head.

Maureen understood why these women resisted returning to their hometowns.

He was simply worried that he would be captured by pirates and the bad news would spread, and he would spend the rest of his life under the thumb of others.

You know, among these captives, some were married to women or mothers.

Such a person may prefer to be a "dead person" in the eyes of his family.

This kind of situation is not uncommon in this world, and Molin has nothing to do about it.

So I can only give a suggestion that is not a suggestion and let them make their own choice.

After a while, the secretary ran back panting.

"Chief Cao, they would rather go to Rogge Town than go home, and it doesn't cost any money, as long as we send them there."

"I see."

After seeing off the secretary, Maureen found Captain Buddy to discuss how much money to give to the women who chose to go to Rogge Town.

As for asking those poor women to start over from Rogge Town without any money, that's not appropriate!

In that case, there is no telling, a more tragic fate may be waiting for them.

······

A week later.

After sending the last group of people away in Rogge Town, Molin let out a long breath.

"Finally, everything is arranged."

After arranging all the girls, Mo Lin breathed a sigh of relief, but also had a headache and turned to the pink girl beside him and said:

"By the way, everyone else has left. Now you can always tell me where your hometown is. If you don't want to go home, you can also give me the addresses of your relatives so that I can take you back."

"Ha, I have no relatives! I don't want to go back either." The pink-haired girl next to Mo Lin said without looking back.

"How about I ask someone to find you a host family?"

"Not so good. People are serious these days. Who wants to raise a monster girl?"

Looking at the pink-haired girl with a self-deprecating expression, Mo Lin frowned and said: "Devil Fruit users are not monsters. How many times have I told you, many people have been dreaming of obtaining this kind of power their entire lives but have been unable to do so. No, how could this be a monster?"

"How many people are there? In the eyes of most civilians, the ability of Devil Fruit is the ability of monsters. Besides, if my ability is leaked, it will attract the prying eyes of some pirates."

After taking a look at Mo Lin, the pink-haired girl, oh, no, Taoyao said, "Rather than doing this, I might as well stay on your ship."

Maureen rolled her eyes: "Sorry, our navy does not employ child labor! You are too young, our navy does not accept you."

"You're lying. I asked other people on the ship that your branch's base even took in a group of orphans as handymen. The youngest ones are only seven or eight years old!"

[Let me go, who told her this kind of thing! 】

When Mo Lin heard this, he turned to look at the other sailors on the ship, only to find that almost every sailor who looked at Mo Lin would turn their head unnaturally.

These bastards.

With no choice, Mo Lin, who had been betrayed by his own people, had no choice but to surrender and said:

"Ahem, well, since you want to stay in the navy, let Sergeant Buddy take you to go through the formalities after returning home. If you are a girl, go to the branch canteen and work as a handyman to help!"

Chapter 26 Hanging out

"I don't want to go to the mess hall, I want to stay on the ship!"

As if to emphasize, Tao Yao deliberately emphasized his tone when saying this.

"The objection is invalid. The patrol ship is responsible for patrolling and fighting. It is a frontline battleship fighting pirates. This is not a place where a little girl like you should be."

At this time, Sergeant Badi also came over and interjected: "Captain Cao is right. Battleships are indeed not suitable for little girls. There is a civilian cadet building near the 13th branch. If you are willing, you can My daughter goes to school there together.”

When Mo Lin heard this, he glanced at Sergeant Buddy in surprise.

After being together for so long, Molin still didn't know that Sergeant Buddy actually had a daughter.

······

More than an hour later.

Mo Lin and Buddy, who failed to dispel Taoyao's stubborn thoughts despite all their words, temporarily gave up the idea of ​​persuading her further.

So Mo Lin took Tao Yao and wandered around Rogge Town.

I want to use this method to heal the inner trauma of this girl a little bit.

Of course, the most important thing is that at this time, the Wanderer is replenishing supplies, and they can't leave even if they want to.

Because of the rescue of many survivors before, plus the presence of Mo Lin, a big eater.

More than a week has passed, and more than half of the food and water supplies stored on the Wanderer have been consumed.

Based on the distance between them and the Thirteenth Branch, if the Wanderer doesn't replenish some supplies and go back, there is a real risk of starvation on the way.

Therefore, after parking the Wanderer, Molin simply sent someone to the naval base in Rogge Town to ask for help in purchasing supplies.

Although you may owe someone a favor by asking them for help, it is better than wasting your own time and experience, comparing and purchasing, or even buying expired food.

I really think that the common people in this world are all stupid.

Ordinary businessmen in this world dare to risk their lives to go to sea for some profits.

So what if we pass it off as good and sell some defective or almost expired food to the navy?

However, with the help of local snakes from the Rogge Town Base (the Navy from the Rogge Town Base), Molin believed that those businessmen would not be so easily fooled.

······

Rogge Town is the town closest to the entrance of the Great Sea Route in the East China Sea.

Because of the natural advantages of geographical location.

Over the course of hundreds of years, this former small town has long since transformed into a prosperous city.

It is said to be a town, but the population of many big cities in the world cannot compare with it.

Weaving among the bustling crowds, Molin carefully looked at this town known as "The Town of the Beginning and the End".

It is the hometown and execution place of Pirate King Gol D. Roger.

This has cast a veil of mystery over this already prosperous city.

The legendary execution platform has long since become an indispensable tourist destination in Rogge Town.

Whether they are civilians or pirates.

After landing on this island, everyone will naturally come to this execution platform to pay their respects.

Over the years, the naval base in Rogge Town has actually caught a lot of idiot pirates by relying on the wait-and-see approach.

Five years have passed since the execution of Pirate King Gol D. Roger, but the execution platform is still bustling with activity.

Tourists who came here specially pointed at the execution platform from time to time, and some even used paintbrushes and cameras to record this execution platform that once shocked the whole world.

Because there are so many customers who want to take pictures, there are even several galleries here that specialize in renting cameras or hosting painters.

With its special culture, it has fed a group of people.

In the mood for fun, Mo Lin took Taoyao to a gallery.

At this time, several painters in the gallery were quickly sketching several customers.

The approach of two good-looking creatures, Mo Lin and Tao Yao, instantly restored a lot of energy to the exhausted young lady at the front desk.

He started to look energetic and introduced various services in the store to Molin.

From basic single-person sketches to fine oil paintings, as well as landscape paintings of various featured scenic spots.

There are all kinds of packages of all kinds, and even different prices are specially formulated depending on the reputation of the painter.

"Sir, don't worry. The painters in our gallery are definitely the most skilled in painting on this street. If you and your sister ask a painter to paint a painting in our gallery, I will give you a special call 20% off discount. For no other reason than your status as a navy."

Looking at Taoyao who showed a hint of disdain for the young lady at the front desk, Mo Lin showed a wicked smile and said:

"Then get rid of the most skilled painter here and draw a sketch for her! If it's money, I'll put it here first."

With that said, Molin took out a few green Baileys from his pocket and handed them to the girl at the front desk.

When she heard Mo Lin asked someone to give her flowers, Taoyao, who was still a little disdainful of the sales at the gallery front desk, immediately changed her mind and said coldly, "I don't want it!"

Mo Lin stretched out his big hand, rubbed Taoyao's pink hair and said, "No, I just have to go out to do something, so I can't leave you alone. You can just wait for me here, and trust me." , sometimes looking at my own sketches is a very novel experience.”

As he spoke, Mo Lin couldn't help laughing.

Because the gallery in front of him reminded him of the hard time in his previous life when he was pinned down by his ex-girlfriend in the classroom, working hard as a free mannequin, and letting his ex-girlfriend paint freehand ink.

Although that time was a bit difficult at first, looking back now, it is a good memory.

Mo Lin definitely deserves this kind of memory.

Taoyao, who originally wanted to refuse, gritted her teeth and stopped talking after hearing that Mo Lin had something to do.

Compared with ordinary little girls of the same age, Taoyao, who has experienced many things, is undoubtedly more mature than a director.

After being silent for a while, she nodded and said, "I understand."

After temporarily placing Tao Yao in the gallery, Mo Lin began to wander around the streets, alleys, and restaurants of Rogge Town.

Molin even visited some special food stores and seafood markets.

After shopping around a lot, Mo Lin was lucky enough to buy a leg of a giant octopus that is said to only live under the deep sea from a seafood store.

It is said that this is the booty of a certain merchant fleet.

I don’t know how many people in that fleet died for this trophy.

The stall owner didn't know where the other parts of the octopus were. Anyway, he only bought this part of the octopus's tentacles.

When she saw this kind of octopus tentacles, Maureen's stomach radiated a desire to eat.

Chapter 27 Another Special Delicacy

This also made Maureen understand that he had found what he was looking for.

Molin spent more than half a million beli (this was part of the loot that Molin received from the One-Eyed Pirates' ship and lair.) Molin bought this octopus tentacle.

After buying this unprocessed delicacy.

Molin came to a barbecue stall not far away and borrowed a large barbecue grill from the boss.

Slice the large octopus directly and grill it over charcoal on the grill.

The octopus tentacle that Morin bought was probably just the end of the big octopus tentacle.

It may add up to not even a quarter of an octopus's foot, but even so, this foot is nearly three meters long.

If only Maureen hadn't borrowed a huge barbecue grill.

He really doesn't care how long it takes to bake this thing.

Driven by the hunger radiating from her endless stomach, Molin picked up the kitchen knife and quickly dispersed the large amount of ingredients into translucent slices of similar thickness.

Pick up these octopus slices, put them on the red-hot charcoal grill, brush them with oil, grill them sizzlingly for dozens of seconds, and then sprinkle some chili powder and cumin on them.
