"Old fool! You want me to become a pirate? What a joke! I'm not leaving here!"
Sanji remained silent.
The two focused on cooking.
Soon, the dishes were completed one by one. Sanji picked up the plates and also grabbed three glasses of juice.
When he left the kitchen,
He couldn't forget what Zeff had said.
My childhood dream... What was my dream?
To find the legendary ALL BLUE!
It is a maritime area that contains all the ingredients of the world's sea. It's a chef's paradise and also a shared dream between him and Zeff.
Whether it exists or not, he doesn't know.
No, it definitely exists!
It must be somewhere on the Grand Line.
And these people come from the Grand Line...
While thinking about this, Sanji had already arrived at the dinner table.
"Lovely ladies, I'm the kitchen assistant here, Sanji."
With the beauty before him, Sanji immediately put his dream aside and elegantly placed the plates in front of the three women.
"These are desserts specially prepared for the three of you. Please enjoy~"
The desserts were made very delicately, which clearly demonstrates the effort invested in them.
"Hey, hey, what about ours?" Usopp complained. "Forget desserts, where are the dishes we ordered?"
"Ah? The ones for you men will be ready soon."
Ignoring Usopp and the other men, Sanji changed his expression to a flattering one and said to Nami:
"Your name is Nami, right? Lovely Miss Nami, may I have the honor of inviting you to dinner with me?"
"No need."
Nami felt uncomfortable and decisively refused. She then used a spoon to pick up a strawberry from the dessert and brought it to Luffy's mouth.
"Luffy, that's your favorite strawberry, ah~" she smiled.
Is she intentionally showing her affection in front of Sanji?
Luffy thought to himself. He knew Nami inside out and could tell what she was thinking just by looking at her expression.
Given this situation, what else could he do?
He had no choice but to join in the fun.
He took a bite of the strawberry that was brought to his mouth.
"Assistant Chef Sanji, did you make this? It's a great dessert!" he praised with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Sanji felt as if his hair was about to catch fire.
(This was something he prepared very carefully. Damn, it was eaten by a man!)
(Calm down, Sanji.)
Since she already had someone, Sanji decisively gave up and turned his attention to Nojiko.
"Beautiful lady, can you tell me your name?"
Nojiko was holding back laughter the entire time.
As an older sister, she realized Nami's intentions at a glance.
Facing Sanji's approach at this moment, she immediately followed suit and took a spoonful of milkshake, bringing it to Luffy's mouth, and spoke.
"You can't just eat just Nami's, Luffy. Try mine too~"
Luffy: "..."
You two sisters really know how to joke!
Sanji will be played by both of you.
He looked at Nami, who was about to burst out laughing, and quickly opened his mouth to eat Nojiko's milkshake.
"Well, this one isn't bad either, Assistant Chef Sanji. Your cooking skills are amazing!" Luffy gave a thumbs up.
Sanji was petrified.
"Sister, let me taste yours too. Is yours even more delicious?" Nami added a knife to the wound at the perfect time.
(W-What? They're sisters too?!)
Sanji's eyes seemed to breathe fire, jealousy distorted his mind.
He took a deep breath.
Sanji gritted his teeth and turned his gaze to the last person.
Kaya, with her gentle and weak appearance, seemed frightened by Sanji's expression. Before he could speak, she looked at Luffy with a pleading look.
"Beautiful..."
Before he could say the word "lady", Sanji was unable to continue.
His eyes showed resistance from the inside out.
Sanji felt like he had been struck by lightning. He stood there like a withered vegetable and could only say:
"Please enjoy your meal..."
He returned to the kitchen in a daze.
"Hahahaha~"
Nami couldn't help but burst into laughter, holding her stomach.
"You guys are so mean." Luffy rolled his eyes.
For a man, it's no big deal to be rejected. But being rejected while another man is getting the attention, that's what really hurts...
Poor Sanji, played by these two sisters.
"Why is he so rude, what does he think of you? He doesn't even care about you!" Nami pursed her lips.
That's why she was angry.
It's okay to come over and flirt, but being so rude to your crewmate makes it hard not to want to fight back.
"I understand." Usopp slammed his fist into his palm and gave a thumbs up. "Very well, Nami!"
"That lewd expression..." Zoro smiled. "Just draw!"
"Drawing?" Johnny raised his hand anxiously. "Zoro, let me try!"
"Oh, show some enthusiasm, Johnny. You can't lose to Nami and the others!" Yosaku agreed wholeheartedly.
Suddenly, the dinner table was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
-----
On the other side.
Outside the restaurant.
The Krieg Pirates.
"Admiral Krieg!"
A man with deep circles under his eyes and thick lips kept shaking Krieg's body.
Krieg gradually regained consciousness, holding the wound to his chest and his face turning pale.
"Escape..."
"What happened? What's going on?" The man with dark circles was shocked. "Who hurt you?"
He is the Battle Commander of the Krieg Pirates, known as "Beast Man" Gin, with a bounty of 12 million berries.
"Run away... Take me away from here... Run away..." Krieg struggled to speak.
"Who is it?! Is it that man? Dracule Mihawk?!" Gin couldn't believe it. "That guy came after us? From the Grand Line? How ridiculous!"
"No..." Krieg grabbed Gin's arm and repeated: "Take me... run away..."
He was completely terrified of that woman's kick.
He didn't care about ships or the Grand Line at that point. He just wanted to escape from there.
However.
On the surface of the sea, about a kilometer from the restaurant.
A black boat made of coffin planks was slowly approaching.
A candle that emitted green light was lit on each side of the boat, resembling ghostly flames.
A man with sharp eyes like a hawk sat calmly on the boat.
With legs crossed, hands clasped in front of the body and a long black knife in the shape of a cross on the back.
"Obstacle."
Apparently noticing the massive warship blocking his path, Mihawk stood up and grabbed the hilt of the sword behind him.
The next moment.
Two invisible slashes flew out, spanning a distance of over a thousand meters. In an instant, they cut Krieg's massive warship into three pieces.
Boom!!
The warship capsized and the sea was rough.
