The kitchen of Baratie, a sea restaurant, is naturally much cleaner and tidier than the kitchens of ordinary restaurants. The chefs here are quite picky about the cooking environment.
At this moment, there were two more men in the kitchen, two men standing opposite each other.
"interesting,"
Sanji smiled, "Want to have a showdown with me? Dino!"
"Hey, I've been unhappy with your terrible food for a long time!"
Dino looked excited, "Since we are all official chefs now, let's have a good competition!"
"Who's the referee?"
Sanji said so.
"There is no need for a referee, you and I are the referees ourselves!"
Dino smiled.
"no problem,"
Sanji rolled up his sleeves and smiled, "I will make you cry!"
"It's not certain who will cry!"
Dino smiled.
---------------
When Croft Dino first met the guy named Vinsmoke Sanji, he was not a free-spirited pirate who wanted to be the world's best chef. It was a long, long time ago. It's a story from the past. It had been so long since the chef at that time had not learned how to laugh or how to cry.
The Croft family is the royal family of the North Sea. Dino who inherited this surname is naturally a prince. It can be said to be a very prominent status. Dino, who has an outstanding eldest brother, has no idea of inheriting the throne. He has dreamed of it since he was a child. To become an excellent musician, it is really a wonderful thing to play music in a magnificent hall and then have everyone cheer and applaud you.
But the story is not always that easy. The extremely evil army named Germa shattered Dino's beautiful childhood. The Kingdom of Germa, which accepted the commission from the neighboring country, easily destroyed the Croft family with their terrifying troops. Everything he once cherished in the kingdom he ruled had turned to ashes in the smoke.
His cold-faced and warm-hearted father, his kind mother, his kind brother, and his lovely siblings all disappeared from this world overnight. The boy named Dino understood for the first time,
What is loss, what is war.
Dino, who happened to be out attending a concert, escaped this disaster, but the boy who survived by chance did not want to live anymore. Everything he valued was gone, and there was really no meaning in living.
So this boy with nothing attacked the princess of the Germa family, the girl who came to this battlefield with her father, a girl named Vinsmoke-Reiju.
He was knocked down. Although it was a sneak attack, he had no ability to resist at all. He was easily knocked down by the other party. How could the prince who is obsessed with music and has a delicate body be the opponent of Germa's most technologically advanced reformer? ?
"Hey, isn't it good to be alive?"
The pink-haired girl smiled obnoxiously and said in an obnoxious tone, "You actually want to attack me! I know you, you are Croft-Dino, right?"
"Well, maybe you can be of some use!"
"Germa!"
With such an angry roar, the little chef was dragged away by the little girl.
For some unknown reason, Germa did not directly deal with Dino. Perhaps the last prince of the kingdom still had some uses, such as a puppet regime.
So, naturally, Dino, who delivered the goods by himself, was imprisoned by Germa and locked up in the family dungeon, a dark and empty dungeon.
The only people he could see at first were the princes of Germa. They looked a few years younger than him, but they were no different from monsters. These guys seemed to be born full of interest in the world. Dino has the same malicious intentions, always laughing and beating him, but Dino has no power to fight back.
Dino gradually became weak. The boy had planned not to live, so naturally he would not accept food from the enemy of life and death, Germa. Germa did not pay much attention to him. After all, when he was really hungry and wanted to die, he would I found out how stupid my behavior was.
So Dino met the boy named Vinsmoke Sanji for the first time. He was obviously a quadruplet with the three guys, but he was a completely different guy.
When they met for the first time, Dino thought he would be beaten again today, but he didn't care anymore. His body gradually lost strength, and even his perception gradually became blurred. He was already too weak.
But no, this kid is completely different from his brothers, he looks timid.
"Hello--"
Sanji timidly spoke.
"..."
Dino, who was leaning against the wall, said nothing, but turned his head and gave Sanji a sharp look.
"Ooooooooooooo!!!"
The blond kid ran away with a yell, seemingly frightened by Dino's ferocious expression.
"..."
Dino had never thought that there was this kid-like guy in the monster-like Vinsmoke family. He was very similar to his brothers in terms of eyebrows and appearance, but his personality seemed to be very different?
The second meeting came quickly. Not long after the kid ran away, the blond kid, with his hands behind his back, walked to the door of the cell where Dino was imprisoned.
Dino didn't speak, just looked at him quietly. He was already very weak, and it was difficult to even move.
"Hey you,"
Childish Sanji smiled with fear and said, "You want to eat, right?"
"..."
Dino said nothing.
"Damn it, is Reiju lying to me?"
Thinking of his sister who was always sarcastic towards him, Sanji felt a little unconfident. Does the guy in front of him really want to eat as much as she said?
"Now, do you want to give it a try-"
Sanji carefully took out a lunch box and held it in his hands, "Although it's my first time to cook, I'm still quite confident!"
"Go away! Germa!"
Dino sneered, "I won't accept any charity from you!"
"Give it a try!"
Sanji handed over the lunch box.
"I said get out of here! Germa!"
Dino's reaction was particularly violent. He grabbed the lunch box handed over by Sanji and hit Sanji with his backhand. His clothes, which were not very clean in the first place, were instantly disfigured.
"You, you, damn it!!!"
Young Sanji was so angry that he could hardly hold back his tears. He picked up his lunch box and ran away.
"Germa!"
Dino, who was leaning against the wall, murmured to himself, "I shall never forgive you!"
"Damn it!"
Young Sanji ran with his head down and cursed bitterly, "You deserve to have nothing to eat!"
"boom!"
"oops!"
Sanji fell to the ground and looked up.
"Oh, Sanji!"
The person in front of him was his lovely sister, purely referring to her cuteness in appearance, "Have you been to the dungeon?"
