General Lanlin of One Piece

Chapter 109 Pirates, come to pay the bill!
"Hmm~, it smells so good, boss, what kind of meat is this?"

Rorschach took Skylark with him and used his powerful power of knowledge to sense the emotional fluctuations of the surrounding diners and use it to select the most delicious food stalls.

If Zefa and Seng Guo were to know that Luo Xia used his hard-earned knowledge to do such a thing, they would definitely give him a mixed doubles match.

The black wrist and shock wave ensured that Rorschach would not be able to get out of bed for three days.

What?You mean fist bones?

Sorry, if Garp knew about it, he would definitely be surprised to gain a new skill.

"This is water and meat. It is a special delicacy from my hometown, the Capital of Seven Waters. How about it? Brother, would you like to try it?"

The boss in front of the stall is also a smart person.

He had long noticed Luo Xia, a big eater, and paid attention to their movements in advance.

Therefore, he deliberately added some more seasonings to the barbecue, making the smell of these barbecues spread throughout the long street.

Seeing that Luo Xia was still hesitating, the fat boss in front of him immediately used his special move.

He picked up a skewer of barbecued meat from the barbecue grill and put it on Rorschach's mouth, almost stuffing it directly into his mouth.

Gudong.

Rorschach couldn't help but swallowed.

The one thing he couldn't refuse was delicious food.

Especially this unique delicacy that is very characteristic of the One Piece world.

This kind of barbecued meat is very similar to the Neptune meat he ate in Marineland.

But the meat is more tender.

It's as tender as jelly wrapped in a layer of skin. Although it's browned and crispy, the meat on the iron stick is constantly shaking and full of elasticity.

When you take a bite, the meat inside melts in your mouth and immediately turns into delicious gravy, flowing into your throat and belly.

It's not a greasy texture, but like a pot of well-cooked stock, with the burnt flavor of barbecue and the sweetness of fresh soup.

After eating it, Rorschach immediately felt a warmth rising in his stomach, and his whole body seemed to be wrapped in a sense of happiness.

Inexplicably, I felt like my eyes were filled with tears.

"It's so delicious~!"

"Is it really that delicious?" Yunque was so greedy at his exaggerated expression that he felt that his bulging belly seemed like he could eat more.

When Rorschach stuffed the leftover meat into her mouth.

After Hibari took a bite, tears flowed out.

"Wow, it's so delicious, Shuishui Barbeque! I must learn to cook this kind of meat in the future."

Rorschach directly slapped Bailey in his trouser pocket on the stall and shouted: "Boss, grill all the barbecue here, I want to have a big meal!"

"Okay! Guest, please wait a moment, I will start serving you right now!"

Seeing the thick pile of large bellies on the stall, the boss's face immediately burst into smiles, and he started grilling the meat with great enthusiasm.

The two of them sat in front of the stall with eager eyes, waiting for the boss to feed them.

At the far corner of the street, a few sneaky strong men looked at Rorschach and Skylark from a distance, looking at the pile of large Baileys placed on the stall, with greedy smiles on their faces.

"Hurry and tell Captain Pitman that I have found two fine-looking prey, and these two prey also carry a large number of large Baileys."

"I'll keep an eye on it here. You guys, hurry up and tell the captain to bring someone over. Hurry up, you're late, be careful of others getting there first."

Two of the strong men stayed behind, and the others left quickly.

Rorschach didn't seem to notice. He took the barbecue from the boss with a smile, gave a few skewers to Skylark, and started eating.

"Yeah, it's delicious. Boss, you said you are from the Capital of Seven Waters?"

While eating shui shui barbecue, Rorschach looked at the middle-aged man who was busy. "Yes, I am indeed from the Capital of Seven Waters. I have been staying in Shampoo Land for almost three years. Hehe, I heard that it is easy to make money here, so I took a risk and came here with a fleet."

The man heard Rorschach's question and answered with a smile.

"Your barbecue is so delicious, you must have made a lot of money, right? Why didn't you think of going home to see it? Are you not married yet?"

Rorschach teased.

"Of course I'm married." A happy smile appeared on the boss's face, "I have a beautiful and kind-hearted wife, and a naughty and lovely daughter. It is precisely because I have a family that I take risks to make money."

"I heard that men will become bad when they have money. Uncle, if you haven't been home for three years, you shouldn't have a new home in Shampoo, right?"

Rorschach grabbed another handful of barbecue and ate it to his heart's content.

The boss glared and said, "Guest, you don't say such things casually. My old Tommy's character is obvious to all. I am a good man! As for making money, if I had such generous customers as you every day, I would definitely have done it long ago." Get rich, make enough money and go back to your hometown.”

"Uncle, are you kidding? Your barbecue is so delicious, how can you lose business?"

Rorschach didn't believe it.

"Guest, on this island, making money is making money, but not all the money you earn belongs to you. In fact, if you earn 100 million beli, then only 20 beli will be truly put into your pocket. In this regard, we must always be wary of some unruly guys grabbing us.”

The boss who was having a barbecue seemed to have opened his heart because of Rorschach's words, and started to vomit his bitterness with Rorschach.

"Earn 100 million to get 20? Such an exaggeration? Where did the 80 go?"

Rorschach frowned slightly.

The boss looked around and found that no one was paying attention, so he lowered his voice and complained:

"This island does not belong to any country. It is theoretically under the jurisdiction of the world government."

"Therefore, there is a government tax bureau on the island, which will collect taxes on time every month and collect 30.00%."

"There is also a naval branch responsible for security, which needs to charge 20.00%."

"Finally, the person in charge of the area will charge 20.00%. After they collect the money, they will promise that we will set up stalls and do business here without being harassed by those wandering gangs."

The boss shrugged, "Although it has indeed avoided the harassment of most cowards, there are still many lawless gangs on the island. They are not afraid of the regional leaders at all, and they will occasionally come to force protection fees. Alas, business is difficult. guest."

"Don't they care about the officials of the world government who collect taxes and the navy of the navy branch?"

Rorschach put down the barbecue he was eating and glanced at the street corner not far away from the corner of his eye.

A large group of strong men, whether they were ruffians or pirates, were pouring in there.

The guy at the head looked a bit like Brother Monkey, and he was holding a golden hoop in his hand.

"Officials are only responsible for collecting taxes, they don't care about these things. As for the navy branch, haha, let's not talk about it."

Old Tommy shook his head and didn't want to talk anymore.

Rorschach wanted to know how the naval branch stationed in Chambord operated.

But right now, it's obviously not a good time to ask.

Because not far away, the very arrogant 'Monkey Brother' had already walked over with a large group of younger brothers in a swagger.

"Pi...Pitman!"

As soon as Old Tommy saw the visitor, he became alarmed.

But before he and the monkey brother Pittman could speak.

With one move of his right hand, Rorschach grabbed a pirate next to Pitman out of thin air and held him at his feet.

He raised his foot and stepped on the opponent's head, supporting his knees with his elbows and his chin with his palms.

"So, you're here to help me pay the bill, right?"
