Bai Yu glanced at Hancock and said with a smile, "Your dish will be ready soon too."

"Eh? Yeah!"

"She's still just a little girl after all..."

"I'm not... never mind..."

Chapter 483 The Taste Hancock Will Never Forget (Please Subscribe~)

Admiral Kizaru and Pirate Empress Boa Hancock, these two big shots, were both somewhat helpless at this moment. They had only one thought: "Hey, you fellow countryman from another world over there! We know you're cute, but could you please not eat so deliciously? They're about to lose their composure!"

That was their thought, especially Boa Hancock, who, although it was her first time consciously coming here, still had a very special feeling for this place.

She came here twice. The first time was when she was a child, to treat the three sisters' injuries and illnesses. The second time was this time, when she directly erased the shameful mark, and her sisters could also have it erased.

There were other reasons as well, but in general, Boa Hancock really liked this place. She was curious about everything here, and she was especially looking forward to the food, particularly the food prepared by the man who had helped and saved her twice.

Kizaru silently memorized the situation, knowing he would have to repay the favor. Since one of his admirals had suddenly disappeared, he would be questioned no matter what, and no one would believe him. He could only try to remember as many of the features as possible and hopefully bring back some evidence to prove his point.

Kizaru may seem lazy and listless, but he's not really that idle. Just as everyone was lost in their own thoughts, they saw Shiraha pushing a food cart over.

After placing two covered plates in front of Hancock, Shiraha went to Kizaru's side and brought over the ramen bowl, which looked like a large portion, also with a lid on it.

"Your meal is ready, please enjoy."

Hancock opened the lid with anticipation, only to be immediately enveloped in the fragrance, which momentarily stunned her. She turned her head and stared blankly at Shiraha, who was walking towards her location.

"Is this the man? Is this Mr. Shiraha's cooking? What an amazing aroma! He's incredibly powerful, completely unafraid of the Celestial Dragons, and even wanted to kill them. He's also very considerate, and his cooking is so amazing... Is this the man who saved the three of us back then? How outstanding he is!"

As Hancock thought this, she opened the other lid. There were a few pieces of pork ribs and a few pieces of winter melon. It was a simple small bowl of pork rib and winter melon soup for one person. However, the taste was completely different from the dish in front of her, yet it felt somewhat familiar to Hancock.

Lucifer glanced at it and said with a smile, "Is this considered being lazy? After the cheese baked rice, is it seafood rice?"

Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, "They're all staple foods, so they're pretty much the same. Besides, for that girl Hancock... this is the only dish that goes well with that soup."

"Is there a story behind that soup? It's winter melon and pork rib soup, isn't it?"

Do you think Rayleigh and the others were just busy eating themselves?

Lucifer and the others were taken aback and nodded in realization. Bai Yu smiled and shook his head before looking down at the book in his hands. Lucifer also joined in to read, while Pandemonica continued playing on her phone, and Aoandon was also reading her own horror story.

The moment Kizaru opened the lid, the aroma made him swallow hard. After waving away the steam, he could see a large bowl full of various fish cakes and other things, but the aroma made his mouth water.

After glancing at Shiraha, Kizaru picked up a spoon and pressed it onto the various ingredients on top, revealing a rich and fragrant broth. He scooped a spoonful and put it in his mouth. Kizaru's eyes widened slightly; he had never tasted such delicious broth before.

Before eating noodles, you should take a sip of the soup. I don't know who started this tradition, but it's true that you can get a general idea of ​​the quality of the noodles after just one sip.

Kizaru didn't even think about it, because he was one of the weakest people here. Killing him and poisoning him was a joke. Besides, he didn't think the person who could make such delicious food was a bad person.

After taking a bite of noodles, Kizaru's appetite was whetted. He ate one bite after another, occasionally letting out a sigh. No one found it strange, because every customer who came here did the same.

Even Hancock, who could be locked in a dark room while eating, was watched by Yakumo Ran who found it very... strange. "If you think it's delicious, then it's delicious! Why are you twisting and turning like that?! Are you really like a snake just because you're the Snake Princess?!"

Hancock was stunned when she took a bite of the seafood rice. She had never eaten such delicious food before. The satisfaction on her taste buds, the satisfaction on her spirit, and the satisfaction on her stomach, the aroma as she chewed made her freeze for a moment.

The so-called staple food, and the dishes made from it, are not so simple. It is inclusive, inclusive of all ingredients. Rice, fried rice, rice bowls, etc., noodle soup, mixed noodles, cold noodles, etc., all staple foods can accommodate any ingredients. This inclusiveness is unique to staple foods. With the word "staple" in its name, its heart is exceptionally broad.

Hancock was not only drawn to the delicious food, but also because it was made by Shiraha. After many years, she was finally able to eat Shiraha's cooking. However, while eating, she couldn't help but glance at the winter melon soup on the side.

She didn't know why, but the soup looked familiar. After hesitating for a moment, she picked up a spoon and scooped up a spoonful of winter melon soup. The moment the aroma filled her mouth, she froze.

It wasn't because it tasted good, but because it brought back memories. Hancock looked at the soup in front of her and remembered everything. It was a taste she would never forget.

This was the first dish she ate after escaping from that hell, and it was also the most delicious dish she had ever tasted. As time passed, she gradually forgot what the dish looked like.

Because she had drunk countless bowls of soup, but none of them tasted the same, she even suspected that Xia Qi had made it, or that she was too lazy to make another one and that's why she said she didn't know how to make it. This one was given to them by the shop manager named Bai Yu.

She gradually lost the ability to find that flavor, and the image of the dish gradually faded from her memory, leaving only a blurry shadow. Only the flavor remained in her memory.

Because that was, for her, the most delicious food in the world; she would never forget that taste. It was the first real warmth she felt after emerging from fear and darkness...

Chapter 484 Crying Quietly, Eating Artistically (Please Subscribe~)

A person's thoughts can stretch out for a very long time, so long that they have no idea where they have returned to. In a pure white space, there is only one path, with countless doors on both sides. Just keep walking forward, and there will always be a door that seems to sense your presence and make you stop.

Push open the door, and behind it lies what you most want to see...

"Shakira, if I hadn't been completely full and the taste of the food and wine was still lingering in my mouth, I really wouldn't have believed that such a place existed."

Xia Qi lit a cigarette, smiled, nodded, and said, "You really subconsciously overlooked these three girls."

"You brought the maid along too?"

Xia Qi was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "The way you address Bai Yu as 'shop manager' is really interesting. I feel like I won't be able to change that way when I see the three of them again."

Rayleigh smiled and nodded, saying, "It looks like the fever has subsided. He should wake up soon. We'll talk about the next step then, at least let his injuries heal."

"Let's talk about it later. In any case, you need to rest first."

"Um...."

These were the words Hancock heard in her hazy state. Hancock slowly opened her eyes and was stunned to see a completely different environment. After looking at the gauze and other things on her body, she slowly recalled what had happened before.

“You are…”

"Rayleigh, this is Shakky. Is there anything else that's bothering you?"

Hancock came out of the room and saw Rayleigh and Shakky chatting. She timidly asked, "Where is this place...?"

"Where is it... Anyway, it's not the Red Earth Continent. You guys are free now."

Upon hearing Shakky's words, Hancock immediately stood there and burst into tears. With two people who were over a hundred years old combined just watching, there was no point in trying to comfort her; crying was the best thing to do.

It turns out that the people here are indeed all abnormal in terms of physical condition and have eaten Devil Fruits, so even though they are not very old, Hancock's two younger sisters, Boa Sandersonia and Boa Marigold, also woke up very quickly.

Seeing Hancock crying, Sandersonia thought something was wrong and quickly went over to her. She asked, "Big sister, what's wrong?"

After the explanation was cleared up, the three sisters burst into tears. Riley sighed and said, "That's why sometimes I think younger girls are better, because they don't control their emotions and are more genuine."

Xia Qi exhaled a puff of smoke and said irritably, "Are you sure it's not because you're young, pretty, and easy to fool?"

Rayleigh's lips twitched. Goodness, she really knows him well. But Rayleigh didn't say much. When they received the news, they saw the three girls wandering the streets. They must have gone hungry a lot.

Just as Rayleigh had said, the three girls' bellies did not disappoint him at all, and they all started growling in unison. Xia Qi said with a smile, "That's why I said, Manager Bai Yu must understand women very well, at least better than you."

"Hey Shakky, though, don't make comparisons randomly. But it's true, your cooking is done, right?"

"You don't need to tell me, I'm more reliable than you in this regard."

Shakky looked at the three girls who were staring at her and Rayleigh somewhat nervously and said, "Come and eat, but before that, should we heat this up... Huh?! Is it still that hot?"

Shakky picked up a metal can-like object from the side. Hancock and the others initially thought it was something strange, but when they saw the steam rising and smelled the aroma, the three little girls' eyes lit up.

After pouring the contents of the jar into a bowl, Xia Qi smiled and said, "Seriously, I'm really impressed by Manager Bai Yu. How can he make a soup that smells so good? What are you waiting for? Come and eat."

Hancock and the others exchanged a glance and then walked over. They were so hungry that the three little girls stared intently at the soup in front of them after seeing the pile of food on the table.

Xia Qi said with a smile, "It's all for you guys, no one's going to take it from you, hurry up and eat."

After receiving permission, the three little girls practically started eating with their spoons in hand. Forget about manners and elegance; they just wanted to eat.

"Sonia! Mary! This soup is delicious!"

"Yes, my dear sister!"

"Mmm! This meat is delicious! It smells so good!"

Seeing how much the three girls were enjoying their food, Rayleigh couldn't help but glance at them a couple more times. There's a reason why watching others eat can sometimes seem so appealing. Shakky said irritably, "You're not going to steal their food, are you, Rayleigh?"

Rayleigh chuckled awkwardly. He had indeed wanted to try it earlier, but seeing Shakky's sarcastic gaze, he could only lower his head and remain silent. The three little girls, on the other hand, laughed very happily.

They knew that from the moment they woke up in this room, from the moment they took their first bite of food, they knew they were truly free and liberated. So they laughed, cried, and ate.

Only after she had eaten her fill did she feel relieved and at ease. Hancock said somewhat nervously, "Thank you..."

Xia Qi said with a smile, "Manager Bai Yu knew you'd say that. He told me to tell you that this dish was a portion of his breakfast, considered a staff meal, so it's free. He said it's not good for your health to lie down right after you've eaten... Honestly... I've never seen such a considerate man..."

Hancock asked in confusion, "Shiroha... Manager Shiroha?"

"Yes, he treated your injuries, he found the medicine to bring down your fever, and he made this soup for you."

Sonia quickly asked, "Then...where is that Shopkeeper Shiraha?"

He is no longer in this world....

Hancock clenched her fists, her eyes slightly red, and said, "How could this be...?"

Rayleigh sighed and said, "Shakky, don't be so controversial. Manager Shiraha's restaurant is in another world. We just happened to walk into the restaurant when we brought you back."

Hearing this, the three girls breathed a sigh of relief. They had thought that the shopkeeper, Shiraha, was dead, and they really felt like they were cursed. Hancock quickly said, "Another world?! What is another world?!"

"The other world is... another world, but you didn't die. The three of you just need to remember this name..."

"Yeah!" x3

Hancock stared blankly at the winter melon soup in front of her, holding a spoon. After a long while, she lowered her head and continued eating, completely unlike her previous self. Yukari Yakumo and the others also sensed that something had changed. They turned around and were stunned.

Even Lucifer and Pendor were stunned. Hancock was eating her food with one fist clenched and the other hand gripping a spoon tightly, but she was crying uncontrollably.

About ten years later, Hancock tasted this dish again. It was still so delicious, still so comforting, and still the most delicious flavor in her heart. She still cried, which was quite pathetic. But this time she cried quietly and ate in a very artistic way.

"Still as delicious as ever..."

Chapter 485 Hancock Eating While Crying, and the Women's Reflections (Please Subscribe~)

Hancock's appearance was impossible to hide; everyone could see it clearly. Even Nami was stunned and stopped eating, just staring at her.

Eating is an art, and everyone is an artist. Watching others eat is like watching a work of art. Some people eat elegantly, which can make them subconsciously restrain their own impropriety. Some people eat happily, which can make them feel good. Some people eat with great enjoyment, which makes the food look delicious.

Some things, however, can make people uncomfortable just by looking at them: silence, biting, frowning. These can all make people feel a different kind of oppression. However, there is a very special kind of art of eating.

cry....

Eating while crying: Of all human emotions, laughter and crying are the most touching. If someone is laughing next to you, as long as it's happy laughter, just keep laughing like that, and after a while you will also laugh involuntarily.

Crying is the same. Some cries sound like heart-wrenching pain, and you can feel heartache just by hearing them. Other cries are quiet, without a sound, just silently shedding tears, unable to stop the tears from flowing.

But this is often what resonates most with people. Not many people eat with this kind of emotion, but there are quite a few too, and everyone is bound to feel this way.

Bai Yu turned a page of the book, sighed, and said, "Hancock..."

Hancock was told to look up at Bai Yu. Bai Yu closed his book, turned around, and said with a smile, "Finally, I've seen your expression after drinking this soup. Not bad, pretty much what I expected."

At this moment, Hancock was practically in tears, but she remained silent. Looking at Bai Yu, she softly asked, "Mr. Bai Yu, why did you make this soup again?"

Bai Yu thought for a moment and said gently, "I've already explained the reason. I wanted to see your expression after you drank it. Not bad, but you cried much more back then, didn't you?"

Hancock gritted her teeth, clenched her fists, stared at Bai Yu, and nodded. Bai Yu smiled and said, "Of course, it's also to verify a principle. This might be the longest I've ever taken to verify something."

"what?"

Hancock's voice was devoid of emotion, and Lucifer and the others were all looking at Bai Yu. Even Kizaru glanced up slightly. Bai Yu took a towel that he had brought with him when he finished preparing the food and walked over.

He bowed slightly to Hancock, handed her the towel, and said with a smile, "A person who can cry while eating is a person who can keep going, a person who can live well... Hancock, you've successfully proven that statement to be true..."

Hancock looked at the towel in front of her, her lips trembling as she finally grabbed it, covered her face, and cried. This time, it wasn't silent; she truly cried.

Bai Yu sighed and said, "So, she's still just a little girl."

"I am not a little girl!"

Hancock cried and groaned in a muffled voice. Bai Yu stood up and breathed a sigh of relief. He had guessed what Hancock would do. But when Hancock left back then, she only got half of her freedom. Now... she was completely free. She would definitely cry out loud. That was Bai Yu's guess.

Bai Yu glanced at him and was about to turn around when he saw everyone staring at him except for Kizaru. Bai Yu was taken aback and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Why are you all staring at me like that?"

Pandemonica said softly, "I feel like I know why you, Bai Yu, could be such a successful womanizer."

Everyone else nodded, and Yukari Yakumo sighed and said, "Seriously, we were all a little touched. After so many years, the familiar taste brought back memories and gave us a real sense of relief. Manager, you really are a woman's nemesis."

Yakumo Ran didn't speak, but her tail swayed back and forth, showing that she had similar thoughts. Kazami Yuuka curled her lips and said, "I should say, as expected of the only human man I acknowledge."

Nami swallowed hard and said, "I have a feeling... it would be a really happy thing to be liked by Shopkeeper Shiraha... but... he's definitely too cunning... what girl could resist that..."

Aoandon nodded blankly and said, "Lord Lucifer, this looks much better than the plots in your novels, at least that's what I think..."

"Aoandon! Count me in!"
