Cocoa Island on the Tip of the Tongue? The Sensation Caused by Sichuan Cuisine
Thousands of miles away, on a Flying Sword as large as a giant door, sat two people: Dongze and Robin.
This time, Dongze did not go at maximum speed, but only moved forward at the normal speed of flying on a sword.
Robin, sitting on the sword, was filled with shock. Before, when Dongze was flying with her on the sword at high speed, she couldn't open her eyes at all and could only bury her head in Dongze's chest. She had no chance to appreciate such a beautiful view.
But this time, she was deeply shocked.
Here lies the boundless sea, its waters crystal clear, a scene as beautiful as a poem or a painting.
Here, the sea of clouds churns endlessly, shrouded in mist, creating a scene resembling a fairyland.
Here, the rising sun shines in the east, its rays piercing the darkness of the night.
Here, the sun sets, the evening glow ushering in the cool night, the last glimmer of light for humanity.
Here you'll find scenes of everyday life, the warmth of countless homes; here you'll find the beauty of nature, all-encompassing, with majestic mountains and flowing rivers. One flight seemed to have elevated her very soul.
"Dongze, thank you! You gave me the chance to witness this scene! It's so beautiful! No wonder humans all want to fly!"
Hearing Robin's exclamation, Dongze paused for a moment, "Flying?"
His consciousness seemed to drift into the distance, and the mention of flying to the sky reminded him of the stories he was most familiar with: Chang'e, Jingwei, Kuafu chasing the sun, and bathing in the sun in the East Blue.
Now that he had managed to get here and acquire such abilities, he sometimes wondered if those things were really true.
Whether it's a strange tale or an epic passed down orally, myths and legends ultimately have origins and cannot come from nowhere. So, who passed them down from?
Will I encounter them on my path of seeking the truth?
"The future is getting more and more interesting!!"
Thinking of this, Dongze opened his heart and let out a long roar, like the cry of a dragon and the howl of a tiger, which resounded for miles.
This startled flocks of birds, making Robin pause in surprise before chuckling.
"Robin! We've arrived at our destination!!"
"The Totto Land Kingdom!"
That's right, their second stop in the New World was the Totto Land Kingdom.
A streak of Flowing Light flashed across the sky. In the Totto Land Kingdom, Big Mom put down her Den Den Mushi. She had been confirming something with Kaido.
That's the newcomer who made the newspaper yesterday.
The Emperor of Swords – Dongze.
"The Divine Realm? Mama! Mama!!"
Recalling Kaido's caution during the phone call, Linlin Big Mom, one Charlotte the Four Emperors, also turned somewhat grim.
Furthermore, she obtained another Secrets from Kaido— "Forbidden Law Realm!"
The Divine Realm is a manifestation of a person's combat power. By cultivating a certain ability, whether it is Haki or Devil Fruit, to its extreme, one can come into contact with this domain. Standing within this domain signifies a qualitative leap in strength. Strength inspires awe, and awe and reverence for the strong are thoughts that exist in everyone on the sea.
However, the Forbidden Law Realm is different; it directly restricts a person's abilities. For those who rely on their abilities to dominate the seas and control the land, it represents annihilation, bringing only fear and nightmares.
Just as Doflamingo said before, Dongze will become the enemy of the whole world, and that's what he meant.
Looking at Charlotte, Linlin's eyes were already filled with an uncontrollable killing intent. If she lost her own abilities, she didn't think she could be stronger than Kaido. Since Dongze could seriously injure Kaido with two sword strikes, he could definitely seriously injure her with two sword strikes as well.
Having been one of the Four Emperors for so many years, how could she allow such a thing to happen!
"Perospero! I'm holding a tea party! The theme this time is alliance! Give my invitations to Whitebeard — Edward Newgate, Red-Hair Beasts— Kaido. As for Red-Hair, make sure they're both in your party. You personally go there!!"
"Sword Emperor - Dongze! Mama! Mama!"
Faced with unknown abilities and unfamiliar opponents, Big Mom directly chose to form an alliance with Newgate, Whitebeard Edward, the Devil Fruit User the Tremor-Tremor -Tremor Fruit, whose ability is his strongest weapon for dominating the seas, and Kaido, the user of the Fish-Fish Fruit, Mythical Zoan, in the Azure Dragon Form, whose Devil Fruit ability is also his strongest method.
As fellow Four Emperors), they were her first choices. She herself was also Devil Fruit User, and if this thorn in her side wasn't removed, she probably wouldn't even Sleeping well.
Then she picked up another bounty poster, this time for the last of the Four Emperors — Red-Haired Shanks. Big Mom seemed to remember something, and suddenly burst into laughter, completely unaware that two people and a sword had already entered her Totto Land.
A storm is coming!
Chapter 160 Cocoa on the Tip of the Tongue: The Sensation Caused by Sichuan Cuisine
The Totto Land Kingdom is a foodie's paradise, with all sorts of towns, some called nut towns, others chocolate towns, where walls, streets, houses, and even fountains are permeated with a sweet fragrance.
BIGMOM, who loves desserts, has transformed his Totto Land into a kingdom of sweets.
In the afterglow of the setting sun, two figures walked into Cacao Island, the chocolate town.
The houses, doors, windows, streets, and even the fountains on both sides of the street are all made of chocolate, and the aroma of chocolate permeates the air, making newcomers secretly swallow their saliva.
However, there are some exceptions, such as some beautiful women who want to maintain their figure.
They Dongze picked a restaurant and went in Robin.
Robin paused for a moment when he saw the items on the menu, then pushed it in front of Dongze.
"Waiter, a cup of coffee!"
Dongze glanced at Robin with some surprise. He knew that Robin's stomach had been growling the whole time, and now all he'd done was order a coffee?
He then turned his gaze to the menu, and the next moment, the corner of his mouth twitched violently twice.
Chocolate ice cream, chocolate cake, chocolate cookies
7days Quinoa Balls Dark Chocolate;
Matcha-flavored chocolate;
Truffle chocolate;
Mixed fruit yogurt / Mixed nut granola yogurt with chocolate filling;
Brown sugar pearl/strawberry cheese boba-filled gummy chocolates;
Raphael Crispy Coconut Pastries;
This was outrageous! The menu was full of chocolates, all sorts of varieties, and he only saw coffee at the very end.
No wonder Robin only ordered one coffee.
"Boss, don't you have any regular fruits, vegetables, or meat here?"
Dongze put down the menu in his hand and spoke to a man standing next to him who was almost a ball.
"Fruits and vegetables? Meat? My sir, those are just raw materials. How can they compare to the delightful sweetness of chocolate! You look unfamiliar. Since you've come to Cocolia, how about trying something different?"
"Most of our chefs here are masters of pastry making, and these chocolate treats they make are absolutely delicious. I think they'll satisfy you. You won't find chefs who can cook real dishes anytime soon! See?"
The man was a businessman, and he spoke with impeccable manners, which made Dongze look at him with new respect. No wonder Cocolia's shop was the most crowded.
Hearing his words, Dongze seemed to understand something. For Charlotte Linlin, who loved sweets, vegetables were dispensable; she didn't like eating them anyway. Working under her, only pastry chefs would likely have a chance to rise in the ranks. So even if there were chefs here at first, they would probably either leave or change careers after a while.
Dongze waved his hand, glanced at Robin, and said, "It's alright. Just tell me where the kitchen is, and we'll find it ourselves!"
"This~"
The fat man glanced at Dongze, wondering if the man in front of him was there to cause trouble, since he had never heard of a customer cooking for himself.
However, after carefully examining Dongze and Robin, he realized that neither of them seemed like the type to cause trouble.
Dongze gave him a very peaceful feeling, and his aura was very comfortable. His ordinary appearance and deep eyes made people feel friendly. Robin, on the other hand, had an intellectual beauty and was smiling at Dongze at the moment.
"Alright! You two, come with me!"
After careful consideration, the man led the two to the kitchen. The ingredients there were quite complete, and there were many materials needed to make all kinds of chocolates. In addition to the essential pasta, fruits and vegetables were also indispensable.
"Boss? What's this?"
When the boss brought his people in, the pastry chefs in the kitchen were taken aback. They thought there was something wrong with their food!
"It's alright, you guys go about your business. This young man wants to eat something else and needs to use our place for a bit. Xiao Ji, come and help him out!"
"Hey bro, my name's Kagi, and I own Kagi Restaurant. This restaurant is my treasure. I'm happy to lend you the space, but don't you dare damage it, or I'll fight you to the death!"
"Haha!! Old Ka, you're here again! We're all here watching! Nothing will happen!!"
When the chefs heard Kagi's words, they burst into laughter. They recalled that when they first started working for him, he had said the same thing and would come over from time to time to say it. After a while, they got used to it and even used it to tease him.
Robin smiled gently. The world is vast and complex, and human affairs are most closely connected to reality. The atmosphere here reminded her of her days on Hada Island.
She chuckled and said, "Mr. Kagi, no, if anything goes wrong, we'll compensate you for the full price!"
When Kagi heard Robin smile, he burst out laughing.
Then he heard someone calling him from outside, so he hurriedly left with his thin legs.
"Dongze, shall we do it?"
Robin's gaze fell on the fruits, vegetables, and freezer, and he gently licked the corner of his mouth.
"Let's split up! It'll be faster that way. You can cook some of your favorite dishes, and I'll take care of mine!"
Robin's eyes lit up when she heard Dongze's words. She knew that Dongze could cook, and that his food tasted amazing. Every time she ate it, she wished she could swallow her tongue.
Upon hearing that Dongze wanted to take action himself, she changed her mind and instead helped Dongze by sending the previous Xiaoji back.
Seeing Robin's reaction, Dongze said somewhat helplessly, "Hey! Hey! Didn't we agree to split up?"
Robin shrugged and pointed to the already sorted vegetables at his feet. "Isn't this just splitting up?"
"But I don't want to eat that!!"
"I want to eat it! Dongze!!"
Dongze sighed softly, "I'm truly impressed by you!!"
Dongze picked up the kitchen knife that was placed aside, and in the next instant, the knife became a blur. The pastry chefs who had been watching the commotion were completely stunned.
Holy crap!
"Damn! Could someone have this kind of skill without fifty years of knife work experience?"
"I'm outta here! I'll never be able to achieve that level of knife skill in my entire life!"
"You talk like I could achieve that, it's truly astonishing!! Just who is this kid??"
Before long, a spicy aroma wafted into their nostrils, but strangely, this spiciness carried a fragrant flavor that intensely stimulated their taste buds.
Indeed, today he was making the Sichuan dishes he remembered.
Shredded pork with garlic sauce, Kung Pao chicken, boiled fish, boiled sliced pork, sliced beef and tripe in chili sauce, spicy diced chicken, Mapo tofu, twice-cooked pork, Dongpo Pork Knuckle, and Dongpo Pork.
Of course, the meat here isn't muscle or pork, but rather the meat of a higher-grade Sea Beast, which also has a superior flavor.
As one dish after another was cooked, an irresistible aroma began to waft out from the kitchen.
"Strange! What's that smell?"
"It smells so good!! Slurp!!"
The guests in the front hall, who had been enjoying their meal immensely, couldn't help but swallow hard as they smelled the enticing aroma.
They had never smelled such a fragrance before; it was irresistible. Looking at the chocolate in their hands, the aroma suddenly vanished.
"Old Ka!! What kind of food have you invented this time? How can it be so addictive? No way, give me one of yours!!"
"I want one too!!"
The diners, stimulated by the spicy aroma, instantly erupted in excitement; tears welled up in their eyes without them even realizing it.
The situation spiraled out of control instantly.
Kagi was also dumbfounded, his Adam's apple bobbing incessantly, and he was frantically swallowing his saliva.
Her eyes turned into hearts.
Seeing the rioting diners, I forcibly suppressed the urge to run to the kitchen.
Although he was not clear about the truth, he was certain that it was not the work of his pastry chefs. It was the smell of chili peppers and meat, two smells that shouldn't be so strong here, since the whole town smelled of chocolate.
But today, this flavor actually overpowered the sweetness of the chocolate. The intertwined flavors were so irresistible, like Cat Claws scratching at your heart.
"Boss! We've come to eat!"
"I want this flavor of food!!"
"Get out of my way! I haven't even had any food yet!"
