Just now, Shanks and Lott had been talking entirely about the world's secrets.
The others couldn't very well interrupt, and the atmosphere had grown somewhat heavy for a while.
Now that Lott had finally changed the subject, the mood instantly lightened again.
"Boss, that smells amazing. There's a noodle shop up ahead. I bet the food's great," Lucky Roux called from behind.
Slurp~
After speaking, he couldn't help wiping the drool from the corner of his mouth again.
Shanks took a deep breath too when he heard that. "Wow, that really smells good! So this whole street is full of food, huh? Hahahaha, slurp~"
Then he turned to Lott. "Hahaha. Looks like we'd better fill our stomachs first."
Seeing Shanks acting like such a foodie, Lott couldn't help widening his eyes.
Shanks really did wear his heart on his sleeve. He changed his expression fast enough, too.
"That shopkeeper's quite a looker. I wonder if her husband's around," Benn Beckman said as he took a cigarette from his pocket and lit it.
Hearing that, Limejuice couldn't resist scoffing. "Hey, hey, is our playboy getting back to work?"
Benn Beckman slowly exhaled a smoke ring and said meaningfully, "You don't understand. I just want to give them a warm harbor in this cold world."
"Tch~" Yasopp couldn't help rolling his eyes at him. "Guys, I've caught a disease that'll kill me if I don't eat good food."
"Hey, hey, hey, we get it, we get it." Shanks patted Yasopp on the shoulder as he spoke.
Then he turned to Lott and said, "Lott, go take care of your business. Let us explore your country on our own for a bit."
"..."
Watching this utterly unserious bunch, Lott felt rather reflective. Looking at them like this, it was hard to associate them
