"Sorry for the trouble I caused you."
"Are you the doctor? The wounds on my body, did you treat them? Thank you very much." Rorschach looked with gratitude in his eyes.
"It's nothing, it's my duty, we are the Navy. By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet, I'm Desmond Doss, the ship's doctor. You can call me Doss, and this is Skye."
"Hello, my name is Rorschach."
Rorschach scratched his head shyly.
This was the first time he had formally interacted with people outside of Maple Leaf Village.
Rorschach seemed a bit nervous.
After all, his total age in both lifetimes combined was only twenty-seven.
In his previous life, he suffered from severe depression, which led him to isolate himself and have very few friends.
In this life, he did not suffer from depression but was afflicted with an even worse disorder, bulimia.
His frightening appearance caused all the children in Maple Leaf Village to avoid him.
Even the adults were afraid of him, despite him only being a twelve-year-old boy.
They were worried that his illness might be contagious.
Therefore, the adults in the village would always warn their children not to go to Rorschach's house to play.
It turned out his name was Rorschach.
Skye keenly noticed Rorschach's extreme nervousness, which made her feel less tense.
She brought her hands, which were holding a three-tiered food box, to the front.
Even though the food box was covered, the rich aroma of food was wafting out, making Rorschach's hungry stomach growl again.
Rorschach felt a bit embarrassed but saw Skye extend the food box towards him.
"You haven't eaten for seven days. Here, this is freshly made food."
"Thank you so much." Rorschach said quickly, taking the food box.
When Rorschach thanked her, Skye's face blushed slightly.
The food box was slightly heavy, indicating that it contained a substantial amount of food.
Rorschach took out one portion, then offered the food box back to Doss and Skye.
"Eat with me."
"No, no, we have already eaten." Doss shook his head.
Skye also nodded, "Yes, we've eaten."
"Alright then, I'll start." Rorschach said, licking his lips and opening the food box.
The rich aroma of meat filled his nostrils, making his hungry stomach growl even more.
The food smelled incredibly delicious.
Rorschach had never eaten such savory food before.
Seeing Rorschach swallowing his saliva, Doss laughed and said, "It smells good, doesn't it? Tonight's dinner is a specialty of the North Sea, steamed emperor fish with salt and pepper. It's one of Chef Deno's best dishes. The steamed fish is tender and melts in your mouth, with the salt and pepper adding a refreshing flavor that never gets old."
While Doss was talking, Rorschach had already carefully opened all three layers of the food box and poured them into his large mouth.
"So delicious!" Rorschach licked his lips, covered the food box again, touched his still-flat stomach, and sighed, "But I feel even hungrier."
"You ate so fast! Were you doing a trick?" Doss almost choked in shock, his eyes nearly popping out.
Skye's eyes were also wide open, "That was enough food for five people."
"Sorry, I was too hungry." Rorschach said, embarrassed.
His stomach growled again.
He blushed.
But it was too dark for Doss and Skye to see.
"In that case, let's hurry back to the ship. I remember there's plenty of food in the kitchen, enough to fill you up." said Doss.
Ten minutes later, on the deck of the ship.
Doss and Skye were staring open-mouthed at Rorschach sitting on the ground.
Rorschach was devouring plate after plate of various delicacies as if a storm was sweeping away leaves.
Thick bones were being crushed under his teeth like sugarcane, shattered to pieces.
Before he could swallow, he grabbed another large plate of noodles and sucked them into his mouth.
As the plate clattered to the ground, Rorschach looked like a famished ghost and reached for another plate piled high with garlic fish fillets.
In moments, the fish fillets filled his cheeks, making him look like a squirrel with its mouth stuffed with food.
Despite eating quantities enough for dozens of people, his stomach remained flat and showed no signs of bulging.
More astonishingly, his stomach roared like thunder as he ate.
"So hungry..."
The empty dishes were all in front of him, his mouth half-open, drooling excessively.
His eyes started to show faint red veins.
The more he ate, the hungrier he became!
At this moment, Rorschach was like an insatiable beast, with his gluttonous desire growing wildly within him.
He needed more food.
The chef Deno, who was quite plump, was stunned.
He never expected that the amount of food enough for fifty people would be devoured in mere seconds.
After a brief moment of surprise, his eyes sparkled with excitement.
He grinned, clenched his fist, and pointed at Rorschach, whose eyes were filled with blood.
"Great! I love big eating challenges! Rorschach, right? I accept your challenge! Wait for me to show you my unique skill, supersonic cooking!"
"Bring me the ingredients and my pot!"
"Why does eating bring such intense excitement?" Doss wondered.
"That's not the point! The point is why his stomach hasn't changed after eating so much food!" Skye exclaimed in disbelief.
"Is this the bulimia Rorschach mentioned?" Doss pondered.
"Amazing! He ate all the food that was enough for fifty people! This guy can really eat!"
The navy soldiers on the ship were in shock, and when they saw Chef Deno preparing seriously to continue cooking, they gathered around excitedly.
On the other hand, the battle between the chef and the gourmand began with the first plate of octopus balls.
"Get ready! Ten servings of octopus balls as an appetizer! The next dish is twenty servings of roasted snails!"
The fat on Chef Deno shook like waves, and he began cooking at high speed, slicing, and saying continuously.
His speed was astonishing, as if he was cooking at supersonic speed as he described.
This was the supersonic cooking technique he prided himself on, the reason why he could cook for two hundred soldiers on the ship by himself.
But!
"He finished eating! He ate everything in an instant!"
"Too fast! Supersonic cooking isn't enough!"
"If Chef Deno's cooking speed is supersonic, this guy's eating speed is light-speed!"
Listening to the astonished comments of the soldiers, Chef Deno's plump face turned red as if it was about to smoke.
Skye's little face also turned red, and she jumped up excitedly, shouting, "Go, Uncle Deno! Don't lose to Rorschach!"
"Of course! I am Deno, the supersonic chef! Get ready for twenty servings of emerald boiled seaweed!"
"Simple yet delicious cooking is my motto. Even when pursuing speed, flavor cannot be neglected, that's my life's creed!"
As Akainu walked out of the cabin, a vein bulged on his forehead, and his head was full of black lines.
