This Bait Was Pretty Tempting After All

"You idiot! You ate all the ingredients I just stored in there in one bite!!!"

A slightly annoyed Haku is wielding her Fist of Love and pounding Luffy!

"I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to!" Luffy apologized, his face bruised and swollen.

But Haku didn't buy it!

On the way to Whole Cake Island, Haku, looking rather annoyed, Life Return intact to Luffy!

However, the consequence was that Luffy's ability to consume food increased several times over. At first, the food on the ship was enough for Luffy squander for a while!

Of course, this Life Return is definitely not the kind of half-baked skill that Luffy figured out on his own.

This led this foodie to secretly use the Life Return to speed up his digestion in order to eat!

At first, Luffy secretly ate the food on the Thousand Sunny, which was fine!

Haku generously took out all the food stored in her System Space and filled the Thousand Sunny's food storage area!

However, Luffy's craving for food seems to be a bottomless pit; no matter how much Haku tries to fill it, she can't satisfy his appetite.

Especially after he mastered the complete Life Return technique taught by Haku, his appetite increased exponentially, and he needed to eat large amounts of food almost every so often.

Haku felt both helpless and amused as she watched Luffy wolf down his food.

He knew Luffy was a natural glutton, but even Haku couldn't handle such unrestrained eating!

After Luffy finished off the last batch of food, Haku started teaching him a lesson in restraint with her "Fist of Love"!!!

Nami took the teacup Sanji handed her and leisurely took a sip!

She looked at Luffy's bruised and swollen face with a smile, feeling an indescribable sense of satisfaction!

"Luffy really needs someone else to handle him!"

Seeing Haku take over her job, Nami felt a sense of relief she had never felt before!

"Nami! Should we stop Haku? Luffy looks like he's about to be killed?"

Chopper couldn't help but say something when he saw Luffy's miserable state.

Haku definitely heard Chopper!

A green energy emanated from Haku's hand, healing half of the swelling on Luffy's face.

Nami glanced at Haku and said, "Luffy's in trouble. It looks like Chopper isn't going to let Haku Luffy so easily."

Chopper also noticed the green light in Haku's hand, and couldn't help but silently mourn for Luffy.

"Haku, you've calmed down now, right? Can we start eating now?"

Luffy saw Haku treating his injuries and mistakenly thought that Haku had let him go.

Nami couldn't help but cover her forehead, and Chopper pretended not to know anything and left the deck.

Meanwhile, Pedro and Carrot, who had come with them from Zou, also served as temporary crew members and went to find Sanji for help.

Haku said with a smile, "Of course we're going to eat, but you'll still need to help me get some ingredients, right?"

"Oh right! I forgot to finish all the food!" Luffy exclaimed casually, slapping his forehead.

Nami couldn't stand it anymore, so she closed her eyes and ignored Luffy's reckless behavior.

Haku took out a Golden Lightning bolt from her System Space and forged it into a fishing rod!

"What an awesome ability!" Luffy exclaimed, his eyes shining as he watched this.

"Cool, right? But something's missing?"

Haku started taking out other things like fishhooks!

Luffy asked like a curious child, "What's missing?"

Kate silently conjured a golden fishing line and slowly wrapped it around Luffy's body.

"What I'm lacking right now is a good bait!" Haku said with a smile.

"Sug? Then why did you tie me up, Haku?" Luffy asked, puzzled.

Haku, whose fishing rod was already tied in several knots, slowly picked it up and said, "I tied you up because you're the bait!"

"Wait! I can't go into the sea..."

Haku flung Luffy towards a certain spot!

Nami watched Luffy out and then into the sea.

She couldn't help but ask, "Won't this kill someone?"

Haku waved her hand and said, "Of course not! Luffy is my brother, after all!"

"You still know Luffy is your brother?" Nami asked, embarrassed.

And the golden boom in Haku's hand tightened instantly, as if it possessed a resilient power!

Haku laughed and said, "I shouldn't go hungry today. Looks like my bait is pretty tempting, isn't it?"

Nami didn't answer, because she was thinking about how to get her hands on the golden fishing rod from Haku!

Haku did this to prevent the fishing line and rod from breaking!

Therefore, he covered the golden fishing rod with his own Armament Haki, and even Haku had covered the golden fishing line with Armament Haki long ago.

Without any fancy moves, Haku gave a powerful flick, sending a giant Sea King soaring into the air before crashing back down into the sea, creating a huge splash. Luffy, somehow freed from the fishing line, was now on the Sea King's back!

And the fishing line was still tightly tied to the Sea King's body!

As the Sea King struggled and rose and fell, Luffy wasn't afraid at all; instead, he shouted excitedly.

"Haha, that's so exciting! Haku, try swinging it again!" Luffy shouted from the sea.

Haku rolled her eyes and flung Luffy's position into the sea again!

"Haku! You have no sportsmanship!" Luffy immediately activated Second Gear and fled.

Haku also freed one hand and drew a Zanpakuto from her waist!

When Luffy returned to the deck, all he saw were rows and rows of neatly arranged chunks of meat!

"We're getting meat tonight!" Luffy, his eyes shining.

It's obvious this guy has forgotten how he finished eating the food on the ship!

Haku coughed twice and said, "What meat? Where did you get any meat? You're not getting any for dinner tonight!"

Upon hearing this, Luffy's face showed disbelief. He pointed at the pile of meat and said aggrievedly, "But that's clearly Sea King meat! Didn't I catch it?"

Haku calmly sheathed her Zanpakuto, glanced at Luffy, and a sly smile played on her lips, "Oh? Is that so? I seem to remember you were the one who got caught by Sea King, and then I just casually slashed you a few times?"

Luffy was speechless, scratched his head, and gave an awkward laugh.

Of course, Haku didn't really want to punish Luffy!

You should know that Sanji on the ship is the one who can't stand seeing others go hungry.

Therefore, Haku's words were essentially meaningless!

Suddenly, it started Cotton Candy Snow!

Haku reached out and caught some of the cotton-like snow, saying, "We've arrived in the Whole Cake Island, which is Big Mom's territorial waters."
