Education, Traces, and Shimotsuki

No matter the world, people seem to have a habit of having a good meal and then chatting about life.

After the meal, the members of the Sirius Pirates chatted with the two chefs of the floating restaurant.

So, are we currently on a round-the-world trip?

Zeff stroked his beard. "You're really taking it easy."

Sirius leaned back lazily in his chair, looking quite relaxed. "Isn't it nice to be carefree?"

He laughed and said, "No one comes into this world to experience suffering, right?"

"Hahahaha," Zeff laughed heartily, "That's a brilliant idea! This world is never gentle."

Everyone is born with expectations for the world.

However, at least a few people can retain this expectation; for most, they don't have the time or energy to expect more.

Sanji seemed quite moved, and he said in a serious tone, "Yeah, there are a lot of people in this world who want to twist other people's lives according to their own will!"

This topic seems to have resonated with him.

Sirius chuckled softly.

"I hate guys like that the most!"

Yamato echoed her sentiment, saying indignantly, "It's just like our father! He always wanted to stop Sirius to sea! He wanted us to fight for him! It was a nightmare for us when we were kids!"

Zeff's smile gradually faded; the mere thought of Yamato's father made it impossible for him to continue smiling.

"Is Miss Yamato also one?"

Sanji's eyes lit up immediately. Could someone else have had the same experience as him?

"I really hate my father!"

Yamato a look of disgust, "I'll go back and beat him up sooner or later!"

"..."

Sanji paused slightly, "Speaking of your father, isn't he the legendary Pirate Emperor? One of the strongest people in the world!"

"So what?"

Yamato adjusted his hat slightly and said confidently, "Father may be strong, but we will become even stronger! Right, Sirius?"

"This is only natural."

Sirius had no doubt about this.

In fact, he estimated that the two of them Teacher Kaido Yamato.

In two years, it wouldn't be a problem for them to turn the tables and give Teacher Kaido a lesson.

Really? Is that okay?

Sanji's eyes widened.

Can nightmares truly be overcome?

Sirius glanced at him. "Kid, if you feel lost, then just focus on becoming stronger."

"The reason why a person's eyes are obscured by what is in front of them is because they are standing too low."

"If you become as strong as me, you can do whatever you want."

"Stop arguing!"

Sanji turned his head away. "I don't want to listen to your lectures."

"Stubborn brat," Jack scoffed.

"This is a crucial age for developing self-esteem,"

Black Maria smiled and said, "I guess deep down you actually agree with what Sirius said."

Sirius noticed that Sanji's ears had turned red.

What an interesting little rascal!

Sirius couldn't help but laugh.

"By the way, Sirius, you just said you were looking for Buggy the Clown?"

Zeff asked with some curiosity, "A man like you would actually be interested in a nobody pirate from the East Blue?"

"It's just an agreement, and what does it mean to be a man like me?"

Sirius smiled. "I don't think I'm any different from anyone else."

He stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and then said, "If I had to say, he's a bit stronger and much more handsome, right?"

Jack rolled his eyes. "Such a smooth talker."

"The captain is indeed very handsome!"

Bepo whispered.

"What? Do bears even understand human aesthetics?" Ulti snorted, feeling very annoyed by Sirius's behavior, which was echoed by Bepo.

"Sorry--"

Bepo sniffed, lowered his head with a guilty conscience; his mental defenses remained as fragile as ever.

"Bepo is right! Big Brother is the most handsome man in the world!!" Page One went straight to the next level.

"That's quite an exaggeration," Hiyori couldn't help but chuckle.

This is just a case of fan bias.

"Enough, isn't it?"

Luo was somewhat speechless. "How long are we going to keep discussing these absurd things?"

This guy really dares to say things like that.

Jack couldn't help but glance at him.

He wasn't like this when he first met Germa.

"You guys are quite an interesting bunch."

Zeff chuckled and shook his head. "If you're looking for Buggy the Clown, then I might have some clues."

"Oh?"

Sirius's eyes lit up. Was this what they meant by "searching high and low without finding it, only to have it come to you effortlessly"?

"When I went to Oro Island to buy ingredients, I happened to run into that guy's pirate crew landing there."

Zeff said, "I was too lazy to fight him, so I hid. Later I heard him say that after this job, he was going to Bariaria Island to rest for a while."

"Bariaria Island?"

Sirius recalled for a moment, "Is it the former territory of the now-destroyed Kingdom of Bariaria?"

"That's right," Zeff said with a hint of sarcasm. "A former Affiliated Nation of the government, it was expelled from the Affiliated Nation for failing to pay its Heavenly Gold, and was destroyed in the blink of an eye by a swarm of pirates."

"That area is now a Lawless Zone, a haven for all sorts of scum and villains, so it's quite normal for Buggy to be hiding there."

"I see."

Sirius nodded.

It's time to say goodbye.

Sirius and his friends boarded the Sirius, and Zeff and Sanji saw them off at the restaurant entrance.

Sirius suddenly remembered something and said with a smile, "Do you need my autograph?"

"Haha, let's forget about that."

Zeff laughed and shook his head. "If the government finds out, we're finished."

"Haha, you're right. Anyway, the food was delicious. It's a fantastic restaurant, and I'll definitely come back if I have the chance."

Sirius said.

"Then I'll look forward to it." Zeff chuckled.

Then came the real parting. Sirius and the others went into the cabin, the ship submerged, and quickly disappeared from Zeff and the other's sight.

"You left?"

Sanji still felt a little lost.

This is the first time I've encountered such a special group of people.

"What are you standing there for, you brat? Go prepare the ingredients!"

"Where's the food left? That guy Sirius ate everything edible!"

Yes, it certainly left a deep impression on me.

On this side, Sirius consulted the nautical charts, located the Bariaria Island, and prepared to sail there.

But he discovered something very interesting.

There is another island not far from Bariaria Island.

There is a village on the island.

"Shimotsuki Village?"
