Love

It seems that every sea in the world has an island known as Gourmet Island.

The East Blue is no exception.

The island's name is Blan, and it's a very prosperous island, renowned as the most famous food island in the entire East Blue.

The island is lined with all sorts of shops, offering a variety of delicious foods to those who come from afar.

The streets and alleys were bustling with activity, and the flow of people was quite large.

Sirius, wearing a pair of large sunglasses, walked confidently down the bustling street.

As I said before, everyone in this world is face-blind; if you cover your face, it's almost impossible to be recognized.

The Sirius Pirates have already gone to Oro Island, but they haven't found any trace of Buggy.

That guy went there and looted a bit, then escaped before the navy arrived, and was never heard from again.

It seems that finding Buggy the Clown and fulfilling our promise to Red-Haired will take a long time.

The Sirius Pirates, having accomplished nothing, decided to rest on this island.

If everyone acts together, even if they disguise themselves, their features will still be too obvious, making them easy to be exposed.

Therefore, everyone split into groups and acted separately.

At this moment, only Yamato was with Sirius. She was also wearing sunglasses, but unlike Sirius, she was also wearing a baseball cap, which made the two horns on her forehead look like decorations.

Like Sirius, she wore a T-shirt and jeans, and even while carrying a Spiked Club, she still looked incredibly youthful and vibrant.

"Sirius, this is really good!"

Yamato was eating a hot meat pie when she cheerfully offered it to her, "Try it!"

Sirius took a bite.

I don't know what kind of meat it was made of, but the rich aroma of fat and spices, enhanced by the high temperature, exploded before it even entered my mouth, like a bomb of aroma.

When you actually start chewing, the tender meat and the almost overflowing juices combine to create an amazingly delicious flavor.

"Not bad!"

Sirius, then he opened his mouth wide and bit down.

Yamato puffed out his cheeks, "Sirius!"

"Ha ha,"

Sirius laughed, "Don't be angry, it's just really delicious."

"Hehe," Yamato wrinkled his nose slightly, a little smug, "I have good taste, right?"

"Of course, then as compensation,"

Sirius pulled a chicken roll from a pile of food in his arms. "This is my highly rated chicken roll! Consider it compensation for Miss Yamato."

Okay.

Yamato took it.

Sirius ate his food while looking up at the sky.

It was almost noon.

"Isn't it about time to go eat?"

Sirius stuffed all the food in his arms into his mouth in a few quick movements, his mouth bulging as he spoke.

Snacks are snacks, and main meals are main meals; they need to be strictly separated.

"Kindness."

Sirius had already found out which of the city's most famous restaurants.

He was prepared to eat and drink to his heart's content on this island for several days.

The two soon arrived at a restaurant whose fish dishes were the best on the entire island.

However, great fame meant a large number of people. When the Sirius arrived, the restaurant was already packed, and there wasn't a single seat left for them.

There's no other way but to wait in the waiting area outside for a bit.

Sirius looked up at the sky.

The skies over the four seas are not as unpredictable as those Grand Line, and the warm sunshine gently caresses your body.

Then I listened to the noisy sounds around me.

Yamato leaned close to him, grinning as he commented on the food they had eaten that day.

Sirius responded with a smile.

This is what navigation should be like.

"Hey, did you guys hear? A pirate-owned restaurant has moved into the neighborhood!"

Upon hearing such a sound from nearby, Sirius raised an eyebrow, becoming somewhat intrigued.

"Pirates?? Pirates run a restaurant? Are they just trying to trick customers into coming here to be chopped up and made into meat pies?"

"It's true! The restaurant owner is that Red-Legged Zeff! The great pirate who once roamed the Grand Line! But according to him, he's retired now and just wants to run the restaurant in peace."

"No one would dare to dine there anyway."

"Yes, they do, and I've heard they taste pretty good."

"... Are you here to do a promotion?"

Upon hearing this, Sirius couldn't help but chuckle softly.

"Sounds pretty good?"

Yamato a little excited, nudging Sirius in the waist with her elbow, "What would a restaurant run by pirates be like?"

"I'll go take a look when I have time."

Sirius said casually.

Anyway, they don't have anything urgent to accomplish, so they can go wherever they want now.

After waiting for a while, a table finally became available, and it was their turn to eat.

Sirius, holding the menu, was as arrogant as ever, ordering everything he could, much to the astonishment of the waiter.

A table was piled high with all sorts of food, mostly fish dishes, but each prepared in a different way.

The various fragrances blended together, creating a beautiful concerto.

"Let's eat!"

Sirius picked up his knife and fork, unable to wait any longer.

"Kindness..."

At that moment, Yamato, who was sitting opposite him, suddenly frowned and pondered deeply.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing her tightly furrowed brows, Sirius kept asking.

Does this girl have worries too?

"Sirius," Yamato looked up and asked, "Do you love me?"

"..."

Sirius nearly choked on his food. He looked up in disbelief, wondering if the person sitting in front of him was some other imposter.

Is this a question Yamato should ask?

"Why would you suddenly ask that?" Sirius, surprised.

Yamato grinned and said, "When we were dividing into groups earlier, Maria secretly told me to ask you this: if you say you love me, we can get married!"

That woman!

Sirius's lips twitched.

He thought for a moment, then countered with, "Yamato, do you even know what love is?"

"Hmm--"

Yamato thought for a moment, then shook his head dejectedly. "I don't know. What is love?"

I knew it.

Sirius smiled and said, "Then you can ask me that question again after you've figured it out."

"Good."

Yamato was in high spirits. "Then, can we get married?"

"You haven't forgotten about this?"

"Because after we get married, we can be together forever!"

It's still a long way off.

After lunch, Sirius Yamato on a stroll around the island, hoping to find even more food they hadn't yet tried.

Then, suddenly, a riot broke out.

"Pirates!! There are pirates!!!"

Sirius was enraged upon hearing this.

If pirates attack, won't this island be unable to do business? How will he eat?

"Let's go take a look."

Sirius said.

It's time to let our counterparts in the East Blue know what naked hatred between colleagues truly means.
