Gourmet Pirate? No, a Freeloader Swordsman!

Welcome back!

Da Vinci was still waiting for them.

"How is the situation? Should we set off immediately?" Yuxian asked Da Vinci before even stopping.

"Come on! Master, don't be so nervous. Miss Musashi is no weakling. It'll be fine if we're delayed for a little while!"

Da Vinci appeared quite composed. She said, "You all take a rest first. I'll adjust the equipment. You can go to the cafeteria and get something to eat."

In the dining hall, Yuxian met the Chaldea group. They were eating and chatting happily, without any sense of tension.

Da Vinci must have informed everyone about Miyamoto Musashi's predicament, but the situation remains unchanged, which makes Yuxian suspicious.

Mash had guessed as well, and she said, "Senpai, Miss Musashi is probably not in any danger..."

Yuxian covered his face and said fiercely, "These guys definitely can't stand to see me living a good life. They're just envious and jealous!"

Thump!

A plate of glistening fried rice was placed in front of Yuxian.

Emiya smiled and said, "Master, don't be angry. Have something to eat to fill your stomach."

Yuxian picked up a spoon, scooped up a large spoonful of fried rice, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it hard, venting his frustration on the fried rice.

Hmm, it tastes good.

After a good night's rest, I got up lazily the next Yuxian and prepared to have breakfast first.

Now that he knew Miyamoto Musashi was not actually in danger, he was no longer in a hurry and left everything to Da Vinci to arrange.

Meanwhile, Osakabehime was in a daze in her room. She felt as if a year had passed in just one night.

Gyobe-hime Osakabehime was in a bad mood, remembered the gift Gabriel had given her, Gabriel told her to use when she was in a bad mood.

She took out the gift box, slowly opened it, and layers of wrapping paper fell to the ground, finally revealing the actual gift inside.

"What's this?"

Osakabehime took out the contents of the container; it was a small, golden horn.

Osakabehime looked at the horn from left to right, still not understanding how it could be used to vent her dissatisfaction.

Was Gabriel lying? Osakabehime began to suspect that Gabriel was playing a trick on her.

But then she thought again that it was unlikely, since it was a parting gift and lying didn't seem like Gabriel's style.

"Are you going to blow it?"

Osakabehime toyed with the horn in her hand, blinked, and put it to her lips.

Yuxian yawned as she passed by the door of Osakabehime's residence. She glanced at Osakabehime and thought to herself, "This guy must not have slept all night."

It would have been better if he hadn't looked, because once he did, Yuxian jumped up.

"Stop!"

He rushed in and snatched the horn from the hands of the Osakabehime.

Osakabehime was even more annoyed by Yuxian's interruption. She pointed at Yuxian and said, "Master, do you know that barging into a girl's room is a very impolite thing to do?"

Yuxian had no time for this kind of talk. He pointed to the horn and said, "Gabriel gave you this?"

"Yes, I really wanted to try blowing it, but you snatched it away. Give it back to me right now." Osakabehime Xingbu reached out to Yuxian to ask for her things back; they were a gift from Gabriel.

Yuxian couldn't help but ask, "Do you know what this is?"

"Isn't this just a horn? What's so strange about it?" Osakabehime clearly didn't know the true identity of this horn.

Yuxian said irritably, "This is the Horn of the End. If you sound it, the world will be destroyed!"

"No, there's only Chaldea here. If you blow it, Chaldea will be destroyed!"

Yuxian pulled Osakabehime outside, saying, "Let's go find Da Vinci-chan and ask her to return this thing."

This dangerous item absolutely cannot remain with Osakabehime; it's best to return it to Gabriel.

Gabriel, you really know how to do things, actually giving the Horn of the End to Osakabehime.

"What happened? Did Xiao Xing make you angry again, Master?"

Seeing Yuxian bringing Osakabehime to find him, Da Vinci smiled and said.

Yuxian held up the Horn of the End and said, "Da Vinci-chan, could you please contact the world we just returned to? I need to return this to its owner."

Although Da Vinci was somewhat curious, he nodded nonetheless. "Whom should we contact?"

Yuxian asked, "Who can I contact? Let me see who's more convenient for me."

Da Vinci smiled and said confidently, "Of course, a genius beauty can contact anyone."

"Here's what we'll do: I'll connect Chaldea's network to that side, and you can just call whoever you want."

"Is that even possible? "Yuxian was taken aback.

He took out his phone and dialed Gabriel's number.

"Hey... didn't you guys leave? Why are you calling me? I'm busy right now!"

Snap!

Before Yuxian speak, Gabriel hung up the phone.

Judging from her tone, she's definitely playing a game.

Helpless, Yuxian dialed her number again. This time, before Gabriel could speak, Yuxian said directly, "Gabriel, how could you give such a dangerous thing as the Horn of the End to Osakabehime! Take it away right now! Take it away!"

Gabriel's eyes lit up at this, and she quickly asked, "Did she play it? Did she play it?"

Yuxian couldn't help but shout, "You're probably hoping she'll blow it, aren't you!"

"Tch!" Gabriel spat out in disdain. "So it didn't make a sound. How boring."

She yawned and said casually, "Don't worry, even if she blows it, it won't work. She's not an angel."

"I have no use for that thing, so I'll just give it to her to play with."

After hearing Gabriel's words, Yuxian was stunned. So that's how it is.

But then he thought about it again and felt relieved.

He was a little confused just now. Gabriel is indeed a useless angel, but she is still a kind angel at heart. She would never really harm Osakabehime. He was overreacting.

"That's all, you can continue playing your game." Yuxian was about to hang up the phone in a huff, having been startled awake so early in the morning.

"Wait a minute!" Osakabehime shouted.

She snatched the phone from Yuxian's hand and said to Gabriel on the other end of the receiver, "Gabriel, I found that I can actually connect to the internet from here. Wait a moment, I'll go online right away, please wait for me!"

After finishing her speech, Osakabehime looked at Da Vinci with bright, expectant eyes.

"Da Vinci-chan— " she called out to Da Vinci in an incredibly cloying tone.

Yuxian immediately retreated and left without looking back, leaving Osakabehime Da Vinci to deal with Xingbu Ji.

The little incident passed just like that, and Yuxian rested for two more days in Chaldea.

Finally, Da Vinci came to inform them that everything was ready and they could depart.

Meanwhile, the people who will accompany us this time have already been decided through discussions among everyone.

Although the children didn't like that world that was all ocean and so dull and moldy, they still couldn't bear to part with Yuxian and chose to go with her.

Tamamo no Mae really wanted to go again, but everyone objected, so she could only pout and sulk.

Finally, considering Yuxian's safety, Jeanne d'Arc's name was added to the list of those accompanying him. Everyone trusted Jeanne d'Arc's character, and with her and Musashi providing offense and defense, Yuxian's safety could be guaranteed.

And so, Yuxian, Mash, Jeanne d'Arc, and the children set off together for that world full of seas.

Chapter 1, Section 420: Gourmet Pirates? No, Freeloading Swordsman!

The Grand Line, the New World, the vast ocean, a small sampan, a flag resembling a child's scribbles, and two beautiful women.

"Master, could you teach me how you managed to break such a big ship apart?"

Kuina looked at Miyamoto Musashi with an expression that said, "I really admire you, you're amazing."

Miyamoto Musashi chuckled sheepishly and said nonchalantly, "It was a small mistake, a small mistake, Kuina- chan, don't be so strict! We prepared a small boat beforehand, so we didn't fall into the water!"

"That's because I anticipated this would happen, so I prepared extra!" Kuina shook her head and said in a very emotional tone, "I always feel like I'm living on the verge of drowning. It's really not easy for me to have grown up!"

Silence...

"I'm hungry!" Musashi suddenly said.

"I'm hungry!" Kuina said irritably. "Where am I supposed to find you food now? All the food was on the big ship, and you sank it overboard!"

"Ah! I really wish someone would suddenly show up and invite us to dinner."

Miyamoto Musashi lay down on the deck, crossed his arms behind his head, and looked at the white clouds drifting in the sky.

"Yes, yes, the Four Emperors of the New World are coming to invite you to dinner soon, just wait and see."

Kuina didn't want to pay attention to Musashi. She knew her master's habits inside and out. Over the years, the two of them had been together almost all the time. How could she not know what Musashi was thinking?

When it comes to swordsmanship, Musashi is undoubtedly her master, but in daily life, it is Kuina who takes care of her.

Kuina was troubled by Miyamoto Musashi's carefree lifestyle, and she wondered how her master had managed to survive all this time.

At that moment, a ship appeared faintly in the distance, approaching very quickly.

Kuina put down her oar, gripped the Wado Ichimonji tightly, and prepared for battle.

Chaos is the norm on the high seas of this New World, and such fast-moving ships are very likely pirate crews.

Without verifying the other party's identity, Kuina was very wary.

As the ship drew closer, Kuina finally made out the enemy's flag, and a chill ran down her spine.

A skull, two crossed swords, and a red and black stripe running through one of the skull's eyes.

The Red-Hair Pirates the pirate crew of Shanks, one of the Four Emperors of the New World.

"Master, it's the Red-Hair Pirates!"

Kuina immediately reminded Miyamoto Musashi, who was still gazing at the sky.

They had never encountered the Red-Hair Pirates before, so it was still unknown whether they were friends or foes.

Being called one of the Four Emperors, their strength is naturally not to be underestimated. If they were to fight in a place like this, Kuina believed they would have no chance of winning.

Upon hearing Kuina's words, Miyamoto Musashi's eyes lit up. She immediately jumped up from the deck, raised her hands high, and waved them vigorously.

"Hey—! Over here—! Over here—!"

Kuina was startled. "Master, what are you doing!"

"Let's eat!" Musashi said matter-of-factly. "Aren't you hungry?"

Kuina stared speechlessly at Musashi, her fighting spirit vanishing instantly.

When you see a pirate crew approaching, shouldn't your first thought be battle? What's with the food?

However, she also knew that the other party must have already discovered them, so there was no use thinking about it. She could only play it by ear.

With her and Musashi's strength, they might not be unable to escape unscathed even if they faced the Four Emperors.

The Red-Hair Pirates' ship approached and slowly came to a stop beside the small sampan, the huge pirate ship and the small sampan forming a stark contrast.

A head emerged from the ship, with long, wine-red hair, a black cloak, scars on its face, and a missing arm.

It was none other than Shanks.

"Hey! You two are the legendary Gourmet Pirates of the New World?" Shanks greeted Musashi and Kuina with a grin.

"Would you like to come up and try our head chef's cooking?"
