As evening approaches, the lights of Baratie are like the bright moon on the sea, exuding a profound atmosphere.
Shuma After being beaten by Zeff in the past two days, his mental outlook seems to have grown a lot, and he feels vaguely like a chef.
"Shuma boy." Zeff stroked down two braided beards. When he let go, the beard bounced up like a spring. "Do you want to stay and work here? I will teach you some novel ways."
"You are trying to take advantage of others, Zeff." Buggy changed his previous attitude of asking for help and said boldly, "In this case, give me your curly eyebrows."
"Just in time, I wanted to drive him away a long time ago. If you want, take it." Zeff raised his eyebrows.
"Smelly old man, what nonsense are you talking about!" Sanji said angrily to the side, "I will stay here until you die."
"Hmph, brat, if you want to be a pirate, I won't stop you."
"Dream!"
Shuma interrupted the heated atmosphere of the two men's charge and said with some reluctance, "Uncle with beard and braid, I'm leaving then."
"Let's go." Zeff looked at Shuma, "I can't count on this brat anymore, but you are different. You are still young and you still have a long time to find the legendary sea area. I will hand over my dream to you."
After saying that, he threw the bag in his hand towards Buggy, "I'm not down enough yet to ask you, Red Nose, to help. Shuma is the one who I took the initiative to teach him his skills, and I'll give you the money back."
Buggy took the bag containing one million Beli and handed it to Mohji. He laughed twice and said, "You're really tough."
"Let's go!" He shook the captain's cloak, leaving a gorgeous figure on his back, and led everyone aboard.
Retract anchor, hoist sail, set sail, target, Loguetown!
Looking at the pirate ship going away, Sanji lit up a cigarette and blew out a smoke ring, "Smelly old man, I will not leave. I will stay here and fall in love with a beautiful lady..."
As he spoke, he twisted his body and immersed himself in the beautiful reverie, and said intoxicatedly, "Then, the crystallization of our beautiful love will be born... then wait for your grandson, stinky old man."
Zeff, who originally planned to scold Sanji for bringing a strange woman into the room, turned into a hum as the words reached his lips. A smile appeared in the corner of his eyes involuntarily, and he tried his best to say with a straight face:
"Then you bastard brat, you have to work harder. If you don't get a big fat boy next year, you can clean up and get out of here!!"
"Tch." Sanji was immersed in the beautiful fantasy again. He closed his eyes and walked briskly towards the kitchen, murmuring in a low voice, "Hurry up and prepare some desserts that are not too greasy, Lemon tea to wake you up, and warm wet wipes. That beautiful lady will definitely feel my full love as soon as she wakes up~"
On board Big Top, the naval officers accompanying Tashigi were tied to the ship's railing on the deck, and their mouths were tied with tape, making them unable to speak.
Buggy stood nearby and said, "The chefs in Baratie are still the same as before. They like to cook with human flesh. They especially feed the 'ingredients' first and wait ten days and a half before using them to make various dishes."
"Captain Buggy, after all, they are our immediate superiors, we cannot criticize them." Cabaji persuaded from the side.
"I understand. The boss with curly eyebrows in the restaurant has a special interest in women. If the lady falls into his hands, she will be cut into pieces in a while."
As he said this, Buggy sighed, full of regret.
"Uh huh..." The naval officer struggled even louder, trying to break free from the thick rope.
Buggy patted the officer's cheek and said solemnly, "No, you can't destroy the place called Sea Restaurant 'Baratie'. Although this restaurant is very famous in East Blue, you can't go around saying that it is the base camp of Buggy Pirates."
The naval officer struggled for a long time to no avail. He was hit on the back of the neck by Cabaji and fainted.
Cabaji asked, "Captain Buggy, is this okay?"
Buggy A cunning arc formed at the corner of his mouth. "Okay, you can watch him these days."
"Come and drink the strong tea I just prepared!" Shuma, wearing an apron that looked strangely like Baratie's, came out to greet the two of them, "Kaya, they are all sitting inside with the ingredients."
"Well, I'll be here soon." Buggy looked at the naval officer, found a few more hemp ropes, tied them tightly, and said to Cabaji, "Let's take a rest first. It just so happens that I still have some things to explain."
The two walked into the restaurant. On the dining table were several cups of fragrant matcha, and in the middle were freshly warm pumpkin cakes and toast.
Kaya, Mikuru, and Mohji are all sitting in it, either napping or flipping through books.
Buggy sat on the chair and coughed twice, "Okay, after so many days, everyone should be familiar with each other."
Everyone nodded. Even the newcomer Mikuru was slowly adapting to the rhythm of this ship. He occasionally ate delicious dried fish and basked in the sun comfortably on the deck. The pirates on this pirate ship were not bad after all.
"Next, we are about to arrive at the last stop of East Blue, Kaya. I will give you one night to consider, see this sea as a free pirate, or choose to leave the ship in Loguetown. Our original gentleman's agreement is still valid... Don't rush to answer, give me the answer tomorrow."
Buggy looked at Kaya and said, the latter closed the medical book and nodded extremely seriously, "I understand, Uncle Buggy, I will think about it carefully."
Then, Buggy looked at Mikuru, "Kitten, after arriving at Loguetown, I still need to ask you to do some small things. Don't worry, after you complete it, you will be rewarded with braised saury, but if you fail, there will be nothing."
"Braised saury!!"
Mikuru's eyes lit up, his face was completely sleepless, and he suddenly said soberly, "You can't cheat, otherwise, otherwise, I will let this ship dock to a place with reefs, and the ship will be destroyed and everyone will die!"
"..."
Buggy has black lines all over his face. What this stupid cat is saying is too much...
"Ahem..." After coughing twice, Buggy looked at Shuma who was busy, "Shuma, are there any attractive spices?"
"Spice?" Shuma stopped what he was doing, touched his head, and then took out a box of jars from the cupboard, "This contains the incense of drunkenness. You will feel drunk after you smell it. It was specially given to me by the uncle with the beard and braid."
Buggy took the glass jar, took some out, put it under his nose and smelled it.
There is a strange but not pungent and very refreshing fragrance. After smelling it for a long time, you will indeed feel drunk.
Buggy put the lid back on the box, looked at Mohji and Cabaji, and explained to them what to do next.
Afterwards, everyone chatted and rested for a while, then dispersed.
