The special venue built for the food street covers a large area.

On the day the food street opened, the square was packed with people and bustling with activity.

Among the crowd were many other races.

From a political perspective, Cobra is definitely a liberal, and a genuine liberal at that, not one of those hypocrites.

Therefore, Alabasta under his rule was very tolerant of other races.

Tahm Kench swaggered through the crowd as a free-roaming Fish-Man. Although he could hear a few complaints from time to time, he didn't encounter any particular difficulties.

Jora Vivi and Nami, swam in a sea of delicious food.

And you know what? After Cobra mortgaged his life savings, he actually got a lot of good stuff, Ma Qiao was overjoyed.

"Eat! Why aren't you eating!"

Ma Qiao shoved a handful of dumplings into Nami's hand. "If you don't eat them, and I don't eat them, how will Cobra get his money's worth?"

Nami, holding the three-colored dumplings, glanced subconsciously at her increasingly voluptuous figure and said with distress:

"Ugh, I can't eat anymore, or I won't be able to fit into the summer clothes I bought on sale last year."

It must be said that although Cat Burglar is very greedy, she only enjoys the process of accumulating wealth and has always been thrifty when it comes to spending money.

If it weren't for her managing the money, the Straw Hat Pirates would be incredibly lucky to have survived to reach the Grand Line without starving.

Edible Sea Beast cannot be hunted at all times.

Nami's distressed complaints, when heard by Vivi, sounded exactly like the Huaqing Palace.

Vivi pulled out a large pile of coins from the small pouch at her waist, then snatched a handful of three-colored meatballs from the meatball vendor, and swallowed them all in one gulp, chewing a few times before swallowing them whole.

After eating for a while, the three of them felt a bit tired of the food.

It wasn't that there weren't enough food options in the square, nor was it that they were full.

Rather, it's because these foods are far inferior to Tahm Kench's cooking.

They were even worse than Tahm Kench's students.

For example, Ma Qiao thought the ramen made by his Cobra was excellent.

Cobra, as king, personally set up a tonkotsu ramen stall, which became incredibly popular.

After all, which tourist wouldn't want to eat a bowl of tonkotsu ramen made by the king?

However, when Ma Qiao looked at his Cobra, who was wearing an apron, a chef's hat, and whose eyes were squinted into slits, he always felt a vague sense of unease.

Apart from Cobra ramen, the other food paled in comparison.

It's not just a matter of the chef's skill, but also the quality of the ingredients they use.

Cobra gets his ramen flour from Shurima.

The wheat used to make this flour grew in Cocoyasi or the Goa Kingdom.

It not only boasts excellent rainfall and heat conditions, but also utilizes the highly regarded Jinkela fertilizer.

As for the pork used in the tonkotsu ramen, it is of course sourced from Shurima.

The first batch of piglets in the Goa Kingdom have grown up and been ready for market, and have passed away peacefully.

These piglets grew up on Fattening King.

Both Jinkela and Fattening King are manufactured at the Secret Base on the Sky Island Shandora.

The most crucial step is adding trace amounts of Health Potion and Oracle's Extract.

The Health Potion can heal injuries and restore health, while the Oracle's Extract can not only relieve fatigue and relax the mind, but also sharpen hearing and vision, and enhance wisdom.

The research department is even conducting related experiments recently.

The subject of the experiment was Luo Zai.

According to Professor Singed, an alchemist skilled in potions, the Haki of this world is essentially similar to the Rune Power of Valoran.

The Oracle's Extract should be of great help in developing Haki.

Even if we don't expect them to develop Conqueror's Haki Coating, they should at least be able to increase their Observation Haki development.

"Huh? This donut looks pretty good!"

Ma Qiao lay listlessly on Tahm Kench's head, feeling saddened by the fact that "his pet's cooking was so delicious that it robbed him of happiness in life."

Suddenly, I heard Vivi's joyful cry.

"Donut?"

To be honest, Ma Qiao wasn't very interested in these kinds of desserts that women and children preferred.

However, the fact that Vivi, whose palate had been spoiled, could give a "not bad" rating piqued Ma Qiao's curiosity.

Just as he was about to jump down from Tahm Kench's head, a tall figure shrouded in a black robe suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking out the sunlight.

"Giant Tribe?"

Ma Qiao had this thought subconsciously.

But he quickly shook his head.

Because Giant Tribe simply cannot appear here.

While Alabasta under Cobra's rule was relatively tolerant of other races, humans still made up the vast majority of tourists.

Besides humans, the most numerous races are Fish-Men, as well as other common races such as Longarm Tribe, Snake-Neck Tribe, and Mink Tribe.

Neither the mysterious Tontatta the Giant Tribe, who are considered an important fighting force wherever they go, have appeared.

The Tontatta is still working for Doflamingo illegally, while the giants, aside from Elbaf, can either join the Navy, starting as Vice Admiral, or join a pirate crew and become important officers.

Few giants can escape the fate of warriors.

Fortunately, they themselves enjoy fighting and find pleasure in it.

In fact, on the island of "Little Garden" between Shurima and Whiskey Peak, Ma Qiao remembered that two famous, long-established giants were constantly fighting.

However, Ma Qiao had doubts about the two guys' fighting ability.

After all, he was someone who was completely crushed by my Third Brother single-handedly.

Giants could not possibly exist in the capital of Alabasta, but the man before them was indeed tall enough, only slightly Pops than Whitebeard.

After all, Tahm Kench is nearly five meters tall. Even when lying on Tahm Kench's head, Tahm Kench is still taller than him by a head. You can imagine how tall Tahm Kench is.

The height difference among ordinary humans in the One Piece world is so absurd that it's hard to understand why there's no reproductive isolation.

Fortunately, Big Bird Pharmaceuticals' Riot Games product, "Mr. Muscle" chewable tablets, which were improved based on Caesar Courland's experiments on human gigantification, is about to be released.

It will help countless men get rid of their troubles.

Just as Ma Qiao was lost in thought, the tall figure spoke, "Boss, I want fifty donuts!"

"Take your time. These two lovely ladies ordered a hundred donuts; yours will need to be remade."

To Ma Qiao's astonishment, a blond-haired boy appeared in front of Vivi and Nami like a whirlwind, bowing politely. At the same time, the tray in his hand was piled high with a hundred donuts, like a small mountain.

But Ma Qiao's focus wasn't on the donuts at all.

No one with blond hair should ever appear in front of my lovely students.

Especially since this guy is Vinsmoke Sanji's nephew!

Ma Qiao jumped off Tahm Kench's head, blocking Sanji as he fawned over him, and swiftly paid the bill and left.

"Uncle, that donut made from that weird curly eyebrow is really good!"

Vivi was confused, but Nami covered her mouth and chuckled as she watched the jealous Ma Qiao.

Ma Qiao took the donut, popped it into his mouth, and the aroma of flour, the smoothness of cream, and the intensity of sugar exploded on his tongue.

Even Ma Qiao, who doesn't particularly like sweets, had to admit that Sanji's nephew, who is considered the pinnacle of culinary skills in the One Piece world, is indeed exceptionally talented.

His culinary skills are far superior to Cobra's.

Who is Cobra's teacher?

That is the embodiment of a demon, the king of rivers, a seasoned glutton...

Tahm Kench has a long lifespan, has tasted the cuisines of thousands of Civilizations, and can influence people's desires, including their appetite.

In comparison, Sanji's teacher Zeff was far inferior.

This is truly a gift from heaven...

Ma Qiao sighed. Such a talented chef had actually gone to sea to become a pirate in search of Allbule, a place with fish from all over the world. It was completely counterproductive.

King Luffy wants to become the Pirate King, and Liu Zoro wants to become the greatest swordsman.

Such a dream at least sounds impressive and challenging.

And what about Allbule, the place Sanji's nephew found? In Ma Qiao's eyes, wasn't it just a large aquarium?

If he wants it, he should just tell his uncle!

Uncle will lease this fishpond for you!

But speaking of which, what brings Sanji to Alabasta?

Ma Qiao contacted Twitch.

While enjoying a bath in the Ganges- level waters, Twitch quickly told his owner what had happened.

It turns out that on their way back from the North Blue, Twitch happened to see the Alabasta Food Festival's invitation to renowned chefs from all over the world, and he couldn't resist the urge to try his hand at Sanji.

For the past two years, Sanji has been busy practicing the Six Powers and Armament Haki, and he's been relying on his past skills in cooking.

During a chance encounter, Sanji overheard Miss Bingbing revealing in a live stream that besides liking to eat meat, she also really loves eating donuts.

Therefore, Sanji hopes to participate in the Alabasta Food Festival, both to learn from others and improve his skills, and to earn some extra money.

After all, the Miss Meat-Meat and her best friends do have very good appetites.

Just as Ma Qiao was eating a donut and lamenting Sanji's nephew's bad luck in choosing a partner, an annoying female voice rang out.

"Hand over your donuts! Katakuri bought them for me!"

Ma Qiao leaned over Tahm Kench's head and looked down.

The speaker was a petite girl of normal size, slender, with a ponytail that curled outwards, and wearing a white dress with red polka dots. (See picture)

Judging by her appearance alone, she is indeed a very cute girl.

However, her face at that moment carried a ferocity and depravity completely out of place for her age.

But what bothered Ma Qiao the most was her reference to "Katakuri".

Ma Qiao turned his head in surprise.

The tall figure from before was still standing in front of Sanji's donut stand, patiently waiting while admiring Sanji's dazzling kneading skills, without the slightest complaint.

There were two women, one tall and one short, standing next to the figure.

From behind, the petite woman exudes a youthful charm, with light brown wavy hair.

Sanji kept sending heart-shaped bubbles towards her, so she must be incredibly cute.

The other woman was tall and thin, with rough purple hair that looked like straw.

Sanji's attitude towards her remained good, but with more flattery and less awkwardness.

·

Is it really Katakuri and his two, no, three sisters?

Ma Qiao was taken aback; this guy was not someone to be trifled with!

If Garp and Zephyr were still around, things would be easier.

Even though Yamato didn't go out with Buggy's group to film the "Captain Buggy's Treasure Hunt MV," Ma Qiao didn't think it was a big problem.

But right now there's only one Shichibukai here...

Ma Qiao glanced at Crocodile, who was lying under a parasol, leisurely drinking his drink in his Alabasta King's Guard uniform, and felt a pang of worry for him.

Hopefully, he will still be just as calm and composed then.

Charlotte Katakuri.

Charlotte Linlin's second son, Minister of Flour of Totto Land Cake Island, one of the "Sweet Commanders" of the Big Mom Pirates, Special Paramecia Mochi Mochi Devil Fruit User, with a bounty of 1,057,000,000 Beli.

Although Ma Qiao admitted that Crocodile's performance in Paramount War was top-notch.

But aside from Akainu, who was clearly a charlatan, it's hard to say how credible Crocodile's supposedly evenly matched record is.

Fortunately, Katakuri, as one of the most senior Emperor's Deputy, appeared here with someone resembling Charlotte Pudding, Charlotte Brûlée, and Charlotte Flampe, who had blocked their way earlier, so they might not have any malicious intent. (See picture)

After all, Katakuri was voted the most popular older brother by all the daughters of the Charlotte Family...

Given that the Big Mom woman's children are all foodies, he might really have brought his sisters to enjoy the food.

Moreover, Katakuri, like his mother, is a seasoned sweets lover, especially fond of donuts.

This guy started liking donuts when he was 2 years old. When he was 3, he opened his mouth too wide while eating a donut, which tore his mouth. Combined with his original Fish-Man bloodline, he became even more ferocious-looking.

In the original story, when Luffy destroyed the mochi house and Katakuri revealed his true form, he was lying on the ground comfortably eating a donut. (As shown in the picture)

Of course, Katakuri still maintains the persona of the Charlotte Family's greatest masterpiece, the number one most popular older brother in the Charlotte Family, and is adored by his younger sisters.

Charlotte Flampe is the president of Katakuri's fan club and the captain of his special forces; her goal is to become the "Queen of Sisters," beloved by Katakuri's brother.

Flampe was furious.

Originally, Katakuri had only brought that monster Brin and that ugly freak Brûlée out for a walk to relax, and he had only managed to beg to join the group.

Throughout the journey, Flampe used every trick in the book, including her mastery of the art of tea, believing she had already won over Katakuri's brother.

Just now, Katakuri glanced at me when he bought the donuts. He must have bought them for me!

Eating donuts while enjoying Katakuri affection—what a wonderful thing this is!

But all of this was ruined by this bastard in front of me!

Flampe was even more furious when she saw that Ma Qiao had turned his head to stare at Brin and Brûlée, ignoring her.

"Damn it! You good-for-nothing commoner who's only handsome, are you even listening to me?!"

Flampe's polka-dot sundress bulged out from below her waist, turning into a balloon that made her bounce.

Then, Flampe pulled out a long blowgun from behind her back and blew hard at the back of Ma Qiao's neck.

When!

Kogoro Mouri's iconic scene did not occur.

Flampe's blowgun struck Ma Qiao's neck as if hitting steel, spitting out sparks before twisting and deforming before falling onto Tahm Kench's forehead.

Tahm Kench licked his tongue, then rolled the blowgun into his mouth and crunched it.

Flampe, the Minister of Honey of the Totto Land, uses a blowgun made from the stinger of a bee.

For Tahm Kench, both bees and bee parts are rare and delicious snacks.

Its clam-like eyes, which were fixed on Flampe, were bright and alert, as if it were looking at a giant hymenopteran insect.

Ma Qiao touched the back of his neck, turned around, and frowned, saying, "What are you up to, woman?"

Seeing the aggressive stance of the person and the toad, Flampe quickly used her trump card:

"Brother, someone yelled at me! Waaah!"
