Chapter 23 - Chapter 23: Two-Faced Krieg.

"Nani? Nami ran away?"

In the restaurant, Luffy and the others looked surprised.

"Ah, the eldest sister threw us into the sea when we weren't paying attention and then ran away alone on the Golden Meri," Johnny and Yosaku urged, their faces filled with sadness.

Boom!

Su Yi punched the table. "This stupid woman!"

Luffy and the others didn't understand the real reason behind Nami's departure and didn't take it to heart at that moment.

However, only Su Yi knew that Nami had left to find Arlong.

But she had clearly not shown any signs before.

Even before they arrived here, she had been cheerful, preoccupied with everything, just as usual.

Then, while Su Yi and the others weren't paying attention, she used a trip to the restroom as an excuse to run away.

"This woman, with such strong acting skills, even deceived me!"

Su Yi had thought that after demonstrating such powerful strength, and showing Luffy and the others' capabilities, Nami should have gained confidence in him and the rest.

But unexpectedly, she made the same choice as in the original story.

When he thought about it carefully, Nami was about to collect 100 million Bailey; she probably didn't want to make any trouble and was just thinking of secretly buying Coco Village and then joining Luffy and the others to sail.

But how naïve! She was so naïve!

She would never have thought that Arlong would break the contract and swallow the 100 million Bailey!

"Stupid woman! Stupid woman! Stupid woman!" Su Yi was about to explode with anger, but he suddenly took a deep breath.

If Nami were to obediently act according to his wishes, that wouldn't be like her. The real Nami was a person with her own ideas, not a puppet.

"Forget it, let her learn the truth; otherwise, her heart will never grow."

"Shouldn't she sell the boat? That's Kaya's boat," Usopp was very worried.

"Hey! Look outside, what a big ship!"

Suddenly, someone in the restaurant shouted.

The light in the entire restaurant dimmed, apparently because a huge object outside was blocking the sunlight.

Su Yi's heart raced, and his brows furrowed. He hadn't expected Krieg to arrive at this time.

But that was fine; it saved him the trouble of looking for him.

As long as he got rid of Krieg and then forcefully "recruited" Sanji… oh no, brought him aboard, he could then find Nami.

"One thing after another, it's really worrying," Su Yi sighed weakly. He approached Luffy's ship, intending to lie down, but now he was a bit busy with one thing after another.

"Come on, let's go out and see," he said.

The group walked out of the restaurant and immediately saw a dilapidated ship.

"This, this is Krieg's ship!" said a well-informed cook, his face pale with fear.

"That gin should be a crew member on Krieg's ship. We offended him before, so now he must have asked his captain to come over and take revenge!"

The cooks panicked, and Sanji and Mr. Zeff came out, looking solemnly at the dilapidated ship.

"Here comes the legendary big pirate, the leader of Krieg!"

As the tall man disembarked from the ship, he walked step by step toward the restaurant on the sea, and people along the way made way for him.

"What are you afraid of? We have a bounty of 30 million Baileys here."

"But if the other side has our people, they might not help us."

For a time, the chefs turned into a chaotic mess.

However, the leader of Krieg, who made everyone fear him like a tiger, knelt down in front of everyone in the restaurant.

"Please, give me some food, whether it's leftovers or whatever, as long as it's something to eat; I haven't eaten for months."

At that moment, Krieg had lost all semblance of a big pirate, reduced to begging humbly, like a wild dog wagging its tail.

"Boss, you can't do this!" Akin, who was beside him, tried to help Krieg up.

"Hahaha, it turns out you're already starving to death." Seeing Krieg so weak and humble, the chefs suddenly felt a surge of pride.

"Do you think we are fools? You are a despicable and shameless villain, who often pretends to be Marine to attack ports or ambush enemies under a white flag. A despicable and shameless guy like you, if we save you, it's like rescuing a white-eyed wolf!"

"That's right, it's good to let you starve to death; it's a blessing to East Blue to get rid of a scourge like you. Hahaha..."

Krieg bowed his head in humility. "I won't take revenge on you; if you save me, then you are my saviors. Please, save me!"

"Go away! You're not welcome here!"

"Hehe, we'll be fine if we don't kill you. Hurry up!"

The chefs screamed wildly.

However, at that moment,

Sanji suddenly brought out a plate of fried rice.

"What are you doing? Sanji!"

"Baga Yalu! Do you know what you're doing?!"

"You've definitely messed up this time! Sanji! The other party is an ungrateful and despicable villain!"

A group of cooks panicked.

In their eyes, Sanji was absolutely crazy to give food to a villain likely to be ungrateful.

Moreover, now was a golden opportunity to eliminate Krieg!

Instead of doing that, Sanji chose to give him food and water.

What a brainless move!

Grumpy, grumpy—

Krieg didn't care so much and devoured the food immediately.

Then...

Boom!

One punch sent Sanji flying.

"Hahahaha, I've come back to life!"

Krieg laughed proudly, then said in a threatening tone, "Hand over the food for a hundred people, or I'll kill you all!"

After a while, Zeff brought a large bag of food and handed it to Krieg.

The chefs were stunned.

Luffy, Zoro, and Usopp were also shocked.

Only Su Yi watched silently, as if he were observing a good show.

"Tsk tsk, it's really shameless. I was shocked when I saw it in the anime, but it's even more wonderful to see it with my own eyes."

Su Yi left the restaurant silently while commenting in his heart.

The reason he didn't stop Krieg was just to "play."

Watching a group of pirates have hope,

And then let them fall into despair with their own hands!

That scene was truly interesting to think about.

"I just don't know how to handle these pirates..."
