The Battle of the Pirate King

Chapter 172 Returning to Liuli Island

"I just left like this, why is it completely different from what I remember?" Luffy muttered a little heartbroken, and Sauron beside him had already put away the ancient famous sword, and turned the entire inner bend from inside. Sweeping outside, always be careful not to cause any accidents to damage the petrified bodies of the partners.

An hour passed, and the petrification attached to the bodies of Nami and the others finally slowly dissipated.

For the empress and others who thanked them for their assistance in such a way and left in such a way, although they would inevitably feel dissatisfied in their hearts, but after thinking about it, no matter who suffered such a serious injury, they would Become cautious, and the other party did not harm any of their lives.

Even Sanji, the nympho man who ran wild with nosebleeds, didn't hurt anything. It can be seen that the other party really didn't know the reason why they made such a move, so he slowly calmed down.

At this time, the group of more than 20 personal guards left by the empress to Luffy and others were captured under the anger of Sanji and Franky who hadn't had the opportunity to perform just now.

Usopp also took advantage of the opportunity to start a special collection of intelligence. With the spirit of killing him rather than letting go of any information, after torturing sixteen personal guards to death, he finally got a heavy weight from his mouth. information.

Next, Luffy and the others quickly dealt with the lackeys who were trained by the clan council to be loyal to the Celestial Dragons. After staying in the inner bend for a few more hours, they set off again, and the boat headed towards Liuli. The direction of the island is exercised past.

"Sanji, Nami, it's up to you two next, if we can get the blue star and the purple star, we can get that thing." Luffy said with certainty, it seems that this has decided him It seems that the third hurdle of participation has been easily obtained.

For Luffy's stupid behavior, Nami and Sanji turned around and ignored it, and then found a sunny place to bask in the sun, drinking the small snacks Sanji sent so graciously.

After a while, with a sound of "Bo~", the ship sailed into the glazed island surrounded by the holy light, found a berth, paid [-] Berri to rent a berth, and got off the ship directly , under the leadership of the gentleman who greeted them when they first came here, they officially started their life in Liuli Island.

When they came for the first time, Luffy and the others didn't step into the core area of ​​Liuli Island, they just asked the gentleman by the harbor, so they didn't have a clear understanding of the prosperity of Liuli Island.

But at this time, seeing the scene of the pontoon bridge with red flowers, willows and green feasts, I couldn't help being shocked.

"Let's go eat." Suddenly, Luffy saw a building that marked a restaurant, and ran directly towards it.

This kind of situation has happened many times, so Nami and others just dismissed the gentleman with a wry smile. After that, they could do it themselves, and at the same time paid him a hundred Berries as a tip, and followed. After all, after a big battle on Island No. [-], everyone was hungry.

In such a bright and beautiful place, eating a meal and tasting the special dishes on this Liuli Island is also a very good enjoyment.

"Boss, I want [-] cents of braised rice, and then [-] cents of that boiled meatloaf~." Luffy rushed to the front counter as soon as he walked into the restaurant, glanced at the beautiful and delicious menu and went straight to the restaurant. He yelled at the boss for a while, and ordered a table full of dishes in an instant.

At this time, Nami and others also walked in, looking at a large table of dishes ordered by Luffy. Looking at the recipes drawn on the wall, it seems that Luffy has ordered all the recipes on it, and each kind has a minimum of [-] points.

"This piece is mine, and this piece is mine too~" A piece of meat containing an unknown animal was knocked crooked by Luffy's touch, and fell on the table, almost shattered. look.

"What's going on." Luffy couldn't stretch his hand to get the meat farther away, which made Luffy stunned, and Nami also told Luffy about this thing about protecting the holy light again in due course.

However, when Luffy couldn't stretch his hands to reach the meat further away, Usopp and the others ate big pieces desperately. After a while, there was still a table of dishes, but at this time more than half of them had gone down.

"Boss, here's a big serving of this, I'm not full~" Luffy yelled, ignoring Nami's distressed and fierce eyes again, and started eating directly.

Half an hour later, Luffy and the others finally finished eating, but at this time, Sanji took a small plate and began to taste it, then walked to the front of the counter, and happily took a big bag from Nami. Berry's boss asked.

"Boss, can you tell me what this sauce is made of?" Sanji looks handsome when he concentrates seriously, and he looks so handsome, this is what Luffy thought.

"Please wait a moment. I'll let our chef, who is also the chief judge of Liuli Island's 20-year cooking competition, come out to answer this question for you." The boss revealed their identity as the chef very modestly, and told Sanji not to think about it. Finding fault, our chef is the best and most authoritative chef on this island, and the other thing is to respect the sauce that Sanji asked about. After all, the boss doesn’t know how the chef Mingde made the sauce. Professional questions need to be answered by professionals.

After a while, a very thin and ugly old man came out from the back kitchen, but the chef's uniform he was wearing was very clean without a trace of dust.

"Are you interested in the sauce I made? Young man." The bad old man is Mingde, the chef of the most prosperous Liuli Restaurant on Liuli Island.

"Hey." Sanji smiled lightly, and then gave Mingde a standard chef's salute to show that he is also a chef, and a very well-educated good chef. After all, he knows how to greet each other when they first meet The chef's ceremony is the most traditional meeting etiquette in the chef world. Not many people, many chefs just regard this etiquette as an apprentice's respect for the master.

In fact, this kind of etiquette was a necessary etiquette for chefs to meet each other a long time ago.

So Mingde couldn't help being surprised when he saw that Sanjiyuki's chef's salute meant to meet and exchange visits, and then he directly bent down slightly, and it was also a chef's salute to Sanji.

"This kind of sauce has a spicy feeling when it is first eaten, and it has a fragrant smell after entering the esophagus, but the most important thing is that this sauce can produce a refreshing feeling after being corroded by gastric juice , this cool feeling can also relieve physical fatigue to a certain extent, so I am interested in this sauce, and I want to know how to make this sauce from the master chef." Sanji slowly I asked Mingde about the small plate of sauce in my hand.

Mingde was completely shocked, because apart from a few top chefs similar to himself, very few people could taste the full taste of this sauce.

Many people just regard this sauce as a seasoning like chili, and not many people can taste the fragrant smell that will be produced after the sauce passes through the esophagus.

However, there are too few people who can eat the deepest coolness of this sauce and the effect of relieving physical fatigue. At least if he didn't say it clearly, he can eat it by himself, except for the young man in front of him. Just one person.

But that was more than 20 years ago.

"Young man, you will participate in this cooking competition, right?" Mingde didn't answer Sanji's question directly, but turned the subject and asked Sanji back.

"Of course." Sanji said without any hesitation.

"Well, if you win No.1 in this cooking competition, I will tell you." Mingde pretended to be mysterious and promised Sanji.
