Chapter 24: Retribution of kindness and revenge, the so-called betrayal(1/2)
"Thank you, thank you so much."
After dinner, Ajin, who finally "come alive", burst into tears.
"Hey, chef! What's your name?"
Luffy, who jumped out of the window, stood carelessly next to the two of them.
"Be our partner and be the chef on our pirate ship!"
"My name is Sanji, the sous chef here."
"I won't get on your boat."
However, he held a cigarette in his mouth, blonde hair covering his left eye, only revealing his right eye and right eyebrow. The man with a waiter-like look with curled eyebrows refused Luffy's invitation without hesitation.
“Because I have a reason to have to work here.”
"I reject your rejection!"
······
"Hey, hey, listen to people talk well..."
"What's the reason?"
"I won't tell you,"
"Didn't you ask me to listen to you carefully?"
“················I’ll beat you up!”
However, no matter what, they are men at sea. After a while, the three of them started chatting. When it comes to the sea, adventure, and dreams, they even danced! The old man who was quietly watching all this behind the window on the third floor showed a smile of remembrance. In the restaurant:
"Luffy is gone again, won't he get into trouble again, right?"
Faced with Nami's concerns, Roman cut a slice of bread into his mouth.
"No, my scout paper crane is watching outside, Luffy is trying to recruit a chef."
"That's good,"
Nami seemed to have no appetite and forced a smile.
"With Roman being there, I believe the Straw Hat Pirates will definitely be able to continue..."
"What are you saying?"
Roman frowned, and Nami's strangeness made him feel strange. Could it be that the girl's "that" came? I tried hard to recall the vague plot of more than ten years ago. However, the clearer one is the top war, Ming Ge behind, New World, and the plot of Donghai is too long...
Wait! Remember it seems-
"You actually left me and have something delicious here!"
Luffy, who came back, sat at Roman and the others' table, pulled a plate and prepared to start eating.
"I found a good chef and will be invited soon..."
Bang!
However, before he could speak halfway, Luffy was twisted up by the "ruthless iron hand" behind him, and the unhappy voice of the chef named Sanji.
"Aren't you a waiter? What are you doing when you sit here?"
"And, I won't be a pirate! Because..."
“Isn’t this a good opportunity?”
An old voice came, the owner, chef, captain of the restaurant: an old man with a broken foot.
"Go and be a pirate,"
He looked at the blonde curly brows because of Sanji's chef.
"This store no longer needs you!"
"What? Stinky old man..."

Clang,
"No...no, it's Admiral Crick's pirate flag!"
In the ‘Sea Restaurant’, there was a mess! If the comparison between the Golden Meli and the ‘Sea Restaurant’ was like a chicken next to a big goose, the pirate ship that appeared now was as huge as a hunting dog!
“It’s really an exaggeration…”
Looking at the approaching giant ship, Roman had to admit that the sailing of this world did point out a lot of black technology! This kind of creation, like an ocean cruise, can be made of wood. However:
"Wait, why do you look ragged?"
"Is it because of the wind..."
"That's all, it doesn't seem artificial, no matter how you look,"
Such a giant ship like a sea "aircraft carrier" is now slowly docking next to the sea restaurant like a ghost ship. Just when everyone was surprised:
Bang,
The door was pushed open, and a man named Ajin returned. However, this time, he was still holding a tall man:
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
“‘Admiral’ Creek?”
"We're dead-"
From the exclamations of passers-by, Roman and others easily knew the identity of the visitor. However:
"It seems that Captain Crick is not very lucky."
Not only was it unlucky, the giant ship outside was in a mess, and as the captain, Crick was also half dead.
Roman visually measured that the other party was about 2.5 meters tall, with light purple hair, and a headscarf tied on his head. He was wearing a loose shirt, with the outline of a weapon armor under the shirt, black boots, and a large cloak.
“So scary…”
As the saying goes, "a lean camel is bigger than a horse." Even if you are down and out, the "little giant" of 2.5 meters still brings wild impact to the people in the restaurant, such as:
“I…I’ll go to the bathroom…”
Nami, who looked scared and quietly retreated.
—————
“···Sorry, can you… Give some food and water…····"
The tall captain, who looked like he was exhausted, was supported by A Jin next to him, begging weakly.
"I have money... I give you as much as I want..."
·········
“Hahahahaha~~”
The strong chef who was afraid just now laughed wildly. Seeing that the pirates dominating the entire East China Sea were so weak, what else could he be afraid of?
"Food and water? Don't even think about it, call the Navy!"
"Isn't that lieutenant nearby? The opportunity to get promoted and get rich is right in front of him, and he will definitely not let him go."
"etc,"
Akin, who was holding Crick, shouted anxiously.
"We are guests! This time we have money, ten times or a hundred times!"
"Hmph, then continue to burn, kill and loot after you recover?"
The strong chef took out a kitchen knife with disdain, a weapon of 1.5 meters long!
"A person like you will definitely attack our restaurant after eating. You can't even get a drop of water-"
Bang,
The tall pirate leader knelt on both knees, protruded his body, and his head was directly pressed on the floor! The humble prayer echoed in the restaurant.
"···Please... Just a little leftovers are fine,"
"We will leave after eating, please......"
"captain!"
"Don't do this, you don't have to do this!"
Seeing that his captain was so humble, A Jin next to him was so excited that tears remained.
——It's a wolf.
Roman watched the show quietly. When these "characters" appeared in front of him, his long-standing memories gradually revived, and the images in his mind gradually corresponded to the real characters.
Crick, a pirate who has been sitting in the position of the Overlord of the East China Sea for a long time.
He is arrogant, ungrateful, ruthless, and even his subordinates can ignore their lives and death. He is a person who hates people from beginning to end. He thinks he is invincible, arrogant, ruthless, and despicable. But:
To be continued...
