When Xia Nuo spoke, Sanji lowered his head and remained silent.
When Xia Nuo invited him again, his throat moved twice, but he finally said in a low voice,"
"I won't leave this place. I'll be a chef in this restaurant forever!”
After saying this, he walked towards the kitchen behind him without looking back.
" He's moved!" Zango said quietly.
"Yes, since you've wavered, then everything can be discussed. There's no need to rush.”Xia Nuo stroked his chin and smiled confidently.
"We just need to wait for an opportunity.”
Opportunity?
Zangao recalled the scene where Xia Nuo had called out to Ah Jin and let him go, and lowered his head slightly.
He had a different feeling. This new captain had a better foresight than the previous Crowe.
Xia Nuo was not in a hurry to recruit them. They had been sailing on the sea for a period of time, so he could treat it as a holiday for the crew.
After entering the great sea route, it would be difficult to have time to rest.
Just like that, four days passed quietly.
During this period of time, Xia Nuo had generously brought Solon and the others to try all of Baratti's signature dishes, special dishes, and every chef's signature dishes. It could be said that their bellies were bulging.
Even Johnny Joseph and Ricky enjoyed the meal.
At noon, after tasting the last few dishes of Barati, the few of them walked out of the restaurant with satisfaction.
Then, he saw a huge sailboat with three decks looming in the rising fog.
"Hmm? What's that?"
Usopp and the others watched in confusion as the ship gradually approached. Then, they suddenly realized that it was actually a pirate ship.
" It's a black panther. There's an hourglass on each side of the skull on the flag. This, this is..."
Usopp recognized the symbol at a glance and shouted,
" This is Saber, Admiral Crick's Dreadnought Battleship, the overlord of the East Sea!!”
It wasn't just him. The customers in the Barati Restaurant also recognized him.
The name of the overlord of the East Ocean was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the entire East Ocean, especially his distinctive pirate flag.
There was an hourglass on each side of the skull on the flag, representing the prey that had been captured and the time of death. It also meant that " you will surrender to me sooner or later. It's just a matter of time."
The meaning of this symbol was known to all the people who lived on the sea, so the customers in the restaurant were very frightened by Crick's arrival!
"Quick, let's go!"
"Run for your lives!"
"If we don't leave now, it'll be too late!”
In less than three minutes, the entire Baratti restaurant turned from a lively dining place to an extremely deserted place.
Even the chefs felt uneasy and terrified about Crick's arrival.
"How could that be? Why is Crick here?"
"Is it the pirate from a few days ago?!”
"How is that possible? We didn't make things difficult for him, and he left after eating and drinking his fill.”
"Wait, do you still remember the speculation that little brother Xia Nuo made when he was eating?”
"You mean the speculation that Crick failed to enter the great sea route? At that time, I thought that it was fake, so I didn't remember it."
" Ah, it's very likely that it's just as that little brother Xia Nuo said. Crick's great undertaking failed and he ran out of water and food, so he must have come here to eat!”
"Then, then are we going to give it to him?”
"Are you an idiot? Of course not! After all, that was Admiral Crick, a despicable guy who disguised himself as a navy officer to kill his superiors and rob warships, plunder merchant ships and towns under the banner of the navy, pretend to raise a white flag to surrender, and then bite back. He was unscrupulous in order to win!”
" That's right. Not only will we not give them, but we will also inform the navy. The Krieg Pirates, who are now utterly defeated and have no combat ability, are a great opportunity to annihilate them in one fell swoop!!”
The chefs were also discussing, and they soon set a common tone for action.
However, a certain man with curly eyebrows, who was wearing a black suit and smoking, was not among them. He looked at the sea and the huge ship in the distance with a dazed expression.
"Why does it feel a little tattered and lifeless?”
After Crick's huge ship docked, Usopp and the others realized that something was wrong.
Half of the Black Panther's bow had been destroyed, and the pirate's flag had also become a tattered piece. There were all kinds of shallow scars on the entire ship.
Some of them looked like they had been polished by the storm, but there were also some that looked like they had been cut by a knife or axe.
Just as they were looking around, Ah Jin helped Crick, who could barely walk, off the boat.
"Mr. Xia Xia Nuo, I didn't expect to meet you again.”
Seeing Xia Nuo standing at the entrance of Barati, A Jin revealed a bitter smile.
"I still brought Chief Crick here, but the captain promised me that he would leave immediately after filling his stomach here. He would never cause any trouble.”
