"R-Really? You're not lying to me, are you?!"
The curly-browed brat before him had stars in his eyes. Beside him, Yamato, who was eating with abandon, shook his head repeatedly and spoke indistinctly before he could even swallow the meat in his mouth.
"Big bro said... munch munch... if he knows, then he knows. How could he possibly lie to people?!"
Gulp, gulp!
After swallowing the meat in his mouth, he shouted at the restaurant owner beside them.
"Boss, bring another serving of everything!"
"Can you really eat that much? What exactly is your body made of?"
Although he cared greatly about what this strange man had said, Zeff upheld the principle that customers came first and returned to the kitchen to continue working.
"Hey, hey, hey, you still haven't told me! Where exactly is the All Blue? Is there really a legendary sea that gathers ingredients from the East Blue, West Blue, South Blue, and North Blue?"
Facing the brat impatiently asking about the All Blue's location, Hua Yue wore a faintly amused smile. Instead, he turned his gaze toward the boundless azure sea beyond the window.
"One day, everyone will reach the All Blue and witness the moment the world is reduced to ruins with their own eyes. You might get the chance too! We're leaving..."
Gold coins were neatly stacked on the dining table. Yamato looked full of regret, but he could only pack up what he could not finish.
Once that massive warship set sail, the young curly-browed boy looked into the distance. The endless sky and sea seemed to speak of vivid, colorful dreams.
"One day, I'll reach the All Blue too..."
With his arms folded, Zeff looked at his foster son, who stood there lost in thought. A faint premonition arose in his heart.
