The Cook's Fate: Kaido of the Beasts

Sunny Merry

"Don't even think about it. That guy is probably already head over heels for his young and beautiful 'fiancée'."

Roman nodded at Zoro, who was leaning against the ship's railing with his eyes closed, as he rested.

"That's right,"

In every sense, Sanji is completely outmatched by Brulee. However:

Conversely, only a gentleman like Sanji could win over a girl like Brulee, right?

"Hey, hey, hey, why do you guys have so little faith in Sanji!"

Faced with an enraged Luffy, Roman flicked his fingers, and a photograph appeared out of thin air between his index finger and thumb:

She was a shy young girl with her hair styled in twin ponytails and side-swept bangs, wearing a blue dress decorated with floral patterns.

"What's this?"

Nami snatched the photo from Roman's hand with a curious look. She wasn't worried about Roman being fickle; she was simply interested in the girl in the photo.

"What an adorable girl, even I like her..."

"Right, I believe Sanji thinks so too."

?

"It's over, Sanji isn't coming back!"

?!

"How is that possible? Let me see!"

As Luffy, unwilling to accept defeat, snatched the photo, glanced at it, and then:

"It's over, Sanji isn't coming back!"

"I·····"

Watching Luffy and Usopp crying and hugging Roman, the usually serious and tough jaguar Pedro trembled all over as if he had suffered a stroke, feeling a tingling sensation from his fingertips to his scalp!

King of the Pirates?

That's it? That's it?!

Fine, I'll just consider this trip a sacrifice to accompany my benefactor... I'll accompany him even if it costs me my life.

He had given up all hope of rescuing—no, snatching—the groom from the territory of the 'BIG MOM Pirates'.

"Sigh, with such a beautiful and obedient fiancée, Sanji- kun is probably..."

"Ha, that perverted kappa has even forgotten his own surname!"

"This is bad. Sanji has never been able to control himself when faced with beautiful women."

"By the way, who's going to cook dinner?"

········

"Alright, let me show you all what I've got!"

Luffy instantly stood up full of energy, put on a chef's hat, and went into the kitchen, making Roman raise his eyelids.

"Nami, prepare your fire-extinguishing abilities."

?

In fact, Roman underestimated Luffy. A few minutes later:

Boom!!

An explosion erupted from the kitchen of the Sunny Merry, a ship that had withstood countless storms and battles without sustaining any damage! Everyone turned sharply to look in that direction.

"Enemy attack?"

"Everyone be careful!"

"Could it be the 'mirror ability user' Roman mentioned, launching a surprise attack...?"

"Cough cough cough,"

However, the reality was that a figure covered in charred soot ran out, coughing and complaining.

"What kind of fire is this? It exploded as soon as it was turned up even slightly?"

······

"Luffy!!!"

Faced with the furious Usopp and Franky, Luffy, covered in cold Luffy his hands repeatedly.

"It's not my fault, it's not my fault! The fire exploded on its own..."

"Give me another chance, and I promise I'll succeed! I swear!"

"Alright, Usopp and Franky, take this time and get the ship repaired first." Roman stepped in to stop the two shipwrights who were about to beat up the captain again. "It's about time for today, let's eat and get some sleep."

Let's talk about it tomorrow.

"Watch me!"

Full of confidence Luffy went back into the kitchen and, after a lot of clattering and banging, finally brought out the food after it had gotten dark:

A huge pot...

"Indeed, the poison Luffy brewed can be used as a 'biological weapon' in the upcoming operation."

After taking a look, Roman gave a fair assessment.

?!

"Luffy, this rice isn't cooked properly... no, it's uncooked rice, isn't it?"

Nami couldn't bear to look at it;

"Looking around, all you see are fish skulls with their eyes wide open in death."

Brook also moved to tears;

"Are you sure this stuff isn't poisonous? I think we should get it checked first..."

Chopper trembled.

"You're just wasting food!!!"

Usopp is roaring;

"Captain Luffy, I apologize for my previous offense. Please, have mercy on this poor rabbit!"

Carrot also joined the ranks of those who were moved to tears, kneeling down and begging for mercy in the face of the food that was emitting purple poison gas.

Although the others didn't say anything, you could tell their opinion just by looking at Zoro, Robin, Franky, and Pedro, who were standing far away at an advantageous position.

"Hmph, I finally managed to cook this meal, and you guys are going too far!"

Luffy angrily forked a large piece and stuffed it into his mouth, then:

"It tastes awful!!!"

"Not bad, not bad," Roman clapped his hands. "Even Luffy, who has a resistance to poison, vomited. If an ordinary person takes a bite, they will definitely spit out bile. It's good enough as a biological weapon."

"See? Even you can't eat it..."

"Don't flip the table!"

While Usopp and the others were calming down the enraged Luffy, on the other side:

"Hmm, this wine is really good."

"The snacks were delicious too..."

"Being able to eat normal meals is truly one of the greatest blessings in life."

???

Zoro, Robin, Franky, Pedro, and the others were already seated at a table with Roman. On the table was food Roman had brought out, and the group ate and reminisced. The beautiful scene around Luffy.

"Ahem, Roman, didn't you say you can't eat that... that kind of thing..."

Nami made an excuse to run away;

"Oh no, I have to change Pedro's bandages!"

Chopper immediately followed;

"I--"

Snap!

Usopp and the bunny girl, who also wanted to run away, were grabbed by Luffy, who had his head down and a gloomy Luffy on his face, and were made to Guotou trembling.

"Um, Luffy... what you made is really..."

Glug glug~~

?

A tremendous sound came from Luffy's stomach, and when Luffy raised his head:

"Waaaaah, I'm so hungry!!"

"Sanji, Sanji!! Come back soon~~~"

"Okay, okay,"

Roman walked up to Luffy, Luffy, and took out a large piece of meat from the Pocket Page.

"Eat up, Sanji made it."

"Waaaaah, Roman, you're the only one who understands me!"

Seeing Luffy crying Luffy while gnawing on meat, Roman Guotou away, unable to bear the sight.

"I have some food that Sanji prepared and stored here, just make do with that. -- Bringing Sanji back as soon as possible is the most important thing. You don't really think Sanji is the kind of man who would abandon us for a woman, do you?"

"Stop being so stubborn."

On the ship of Whole Cake Island, Baron Tamago is trying to persuade Sanji.

"What's wrong with joining our 'BIG MOM Pirates'? 'Mom' would absolutely love to have you. Soir!"

"Given your resume in the East Blue the ' Baratie in the East China Sea, if you truly have real talent, 'Mom' should give you a very high salary, BON."

Stop daydreaming!

Sanji firmly refused.

"I honed my culinary skills to cook delicious meals for my companions! What king of Whole Cake Island, what Four Emperors, how could they possibly let me..."

"This is a photo of your fiancée, Charlotte Brulee."

!?

Sanji instantly revealed his true form, his eyes transforming into hearts and his tongue flying out! Baron Tamago's lips twitched; no wonder he's a Vinsmoke lad. All his brothers share this lecherous nature...

But it's all good. With Brulee's methods, it'll be easy for her to manipulate this 'Black Leg' Sanji.

Meanwhile, the Straw Hat crew are already on their way to Whole Cake Island. Hmph, on our 'BIG MOM Pirates' territory, how many times can your incredibly powerful weapon be used? Besides, with 'Mom' around, that little weather-manipulating girl can't cause any trouble!

Everything is ready, and the tea party is about to begin.

We're just waiting for the 'guests' to be seated.

The New World, the Wano Country.

"Under the combined attack of the Straw Hat Pirates and the Heart Pirates, Lord Jack was ultimately only able to salvage the SMILE factory from Dressrosa, but... he discovered a lack of crucial materials—raw materials that only Caesar could manufacture, so..."

"Yeah,"

The man covering his face was crying uncontrollably.

"Does that mean we can't add any more 'ability users'?"

Although the artificial Devil Fruit user all sorts of bizarre appearances, their strength has been greatly enhanced. After all, in the New World where Armament Haki exists, the tough and resilient Zoan are the best 'soldiers,' at least they won't be easily defeated like other Devil Fruit users.

However, if we want to face the final 'decisive battle,' we can never have too many troops.

"Waaaaah!! Didn't we agree to form an army where everyone was an ability user?"

The man, who had been drinking so much he was crying, let his tears flow freely.

"My beautiful dream has been ruined by a few kids!"

"Poor 'Joker,' it's all because you're too weak—"

The fearsome Shichibukai, "Heavenly Yaksha" Donquixote Doflamingo, was nothing more than a figure of 'too weak' in front of this towering man. After all:

"Boss, the Straw Hat crew are the hottest newcomers right now, we can't underestimate them. Perhaps we should..."

A newly joined subordinate was about to show off his 'strategy' when his colleagues around him suddenly changed their expressions and quietly pushed him away.

?!

Glug,

The man, who had just taken a swig of wine, stood up drunkenly and slapped Luffy's Bounty Poster across the face of the clueless guy. Then he picked up the iron rod next to him.

"So what if I underestimated him?!"

In an instant, this subordinate, who had a bounty of over a hundred million, felt as if he had been grabbed by an invisible hand, a terrifying sense of dread washing over him. Before he could react, a massive iron rod crackling with black lightning slammed into him, compressing and deforming his body in a fraction of a second, and then:

Boom!

An overwhelming force, like the collapse of the heavens and the splitting of the earth, instantly shattered his helmet, deeply dented his breastplate, and rapidly compressed this burly man into a piece of paper! Then, like a straw, he was sent flying lightly towards the roof.

Boom!!

As the unfortunate man crashed into the roof, a destructive Haki exploded from within, instantly shattering the rooftops within a radius of dozens of meters into dust, turning into fragments of flesh and bone that shot into the sky along with the broken roof...

The entire sky was suddenly blasted into rings of white air waves that rose straight into the clouds!

Luffy's Bounty Poster, however, drifted down unharmed.

That terrifying Haki of dominance and mastery of power...

Who do you think I am?!

The man who had blasted a newcomer with a bounty of over 100 million into dust with a single blow roared loudly, terrifying everyone present.

"A bunch of brats playing pirate house! I'll teach them a lesson they won't forget! Just like you—"

In the cell behind him lay a figure covered in blood, motionless.

Eustass Kid, one of the twelve Supernovas!

And this drunken man is none other than Kaido, the so-called "World's Strongest Creature"!
