This kind of thing can be accumulated slowly.
"It's time to prepare dinner."
Maude walked into the depths of the forest and came back soon with more than a dozen river fish.
It's easy to set up a bonfire, then put the river fish on the side and that's it.
At this time, Usopp also slowed down and looked at the river fish with covetous eyes.
He was very hungry.
Twenty minutes passed.
Maud suddenly raised his head.
Usopp looked at Mod reflexively and asked subconsciously: "Can I eat it?"
"It's finally here."
Mod did not answer Usopp's question, but instead looked back in the direction of the coastline.
"What?"
Usopp was stunned for a moment, not knowing why, so he could only look towards the coastline with Mod.
A few seconds later, he heard footsteps.
somebody is coming…
And there's more than one.
The footsteps became clearer and clearer, and several figures walked out of the dim light.
"Hoo ho."
The long-lost laughter sounded in the forest.
"who is it?"
Before he could see the face of the visitor clearly, Usopp's expression changed slightly.
Inexplicably, he felt a pressure.
"Don't be nervous, they are my companions."
Mod glanced at Usopp who was overreacting with a slight smile.
On the premise that Lafayette and others did not exude hostility, they could still have such a keen sense, indicating that the seeds of knowledge and knowledge have been deeply buried in Usopp's potential.
Hearing Mod's words, Usopp breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at the faces of several people who were gradually revealed.
What a strong guy!
Usopp looked at the muscular and dull-looking Jim.
That person is so tall, and... his face is so pale
Shouldn't he be applying a thick layer of foundation
Well, this guy is the most dangerous person!
Usopp turned to look at Lafayette a few times, but the latter glanced at him, which made Usopp's heart skip a beat and he quickly looked away.
Then, he looked at the last figure.
What a beautiful sister!
When he saw Jaya, Usopp's eyes shimmered.
These people are Maud's companions.
Usopp thought silently.
He paid attention to Jia Ya and the others, but did not notice a white figure beside him.
Bailey came to Usopp's side and unceremoniously picked up a grilled fish skewered with wooden branches. He was not afraid of burning it and just opened his mouth and bit off a large piece.
"Oh, it tastes bad."
Bailey tilted his head and spit out the fish meat, then inserted the grilled fish with a big bite back in.
Only then did Usopp notice Bailey's presence, and was immediately startled.
"Talking tanuki!"
"You are the raccoon cat. Look clearly. I am a stoat of noble blood. If it weren't for the fact that you are the son of Jesus Bu, do you believe that I can make you sleep until the day after tomorrow with one punch?"
Bailey was furious and waved his tiny fist at Usopp.
Since Jim, who was at the bottom of the family hierarchy, was added to the ship, Bailey had gained a lot of capital.
When Usopp heard his father's name, he knew that this ferret who looked like a raccoon cat was definitely not easy to mess with. He immediately obeyed and lowered his head, not daring to say anything.
Maude first nodded to Lafayette and Jim, and then looked at Jaya, who was smiling with narrowed eyes.
"Sister Ya, you're here just in time, I'll leave these grilled fish to you."
"good."
Jia Ya nodded, came to Mod's side, and sat down naturally.
She glanced at the dozens of grilled fish that were placed in unskilled positions and began to make adjustments.
When she saw the grilled fish that Bailey had taken a bite from, she paused, picked up the grilled fish, and threw it to Bailey.
"Eat it."
Jaya smiled and looked at Bailey.
Feeling Jia Ya's squinting eyes, Bailey swallowed the fish with the bones without saying a word.
After watching Bailey eat the grilled fish, Jaya nodded with satisfaction, and then took out the spice jar from her pocket.
Maude looked at this scene with a smile on her face.
He neither asked why Jia Ya joined, nor did he specifically say anything to welcome Jia Ya to join.
It seems that this is just a normal thing like eating and drinking.
The addition of Jia Ya is undoubtedly a good thing that has more advantages than disadvantages for the team.
The personal combat power he learned from Jabba is one thing, and the food supplement cuisine that can bring long-term benefits to the team at that time is also one thing.
Jim and Lafayette also sat down one after another.
However, these dozen river fish were obviously not enough for everyone, so Jim got up after sitting for a while and went back to the mast boat to bring some food.
Jaya prepares dinner.
Maud and Lafayette started chatting, and they also talked about Sunny leaving with Sabokerla.
"Sunny also went to sea."
Maud couldn't help but laugh as she thought about the little money-lover.
After both parties have settled down, a stable communication channel will be established as soon as possible.
In this regard, we can find ways to get technical support from the revolutionary army.
Maude thought deeply and gave up thinking within a few seconds.
It’s useless to think about something so far away now.
Lafayette played with his crutch and asked: "Now that we are all here, when will we set sail?"
"We'll leave tomorrow. Before that, let Jim and Jia Ya go to the town to purchase supplies. As long as the navigation supplies are sufficient, there is no need to stop to replenish supplies in the middle, and they can go directly to the Upside Down Mountain as quickly as possible."
Maud said without thinking.
We have been delayed in the East China Sea for long enough, and the timeliness of the World Conference has passed. At this time, it would be more dangerous to continue to stay in the East China Sea.
"If you carry too much supplies, it will affect the sailing speed."
Lafayette put the crutches on his legs and offered advice.
"I checked the sea chart and found that there is a town called Rogge Town near the entrance of the Great Channel. You can replenish supplies there, so there is no need to bring too many supplies if you set off from here."
"Not going there."
Maud shook her head.
Lafayette looked puzzled and asked, "Why?"
Mod said calmly: "Rogg Town is located near the entrance of the Great Channel. Almost all pirate groups that want to go to the Grand Channel have to go to Rogg Town for supplies. So, is there any place more suitable for setting up an ambush than Rogg Town? ?”
"We have been delayed in the East China Sea for too long. Without the cover of the World Conference, once the manpower pressure of the Navy Headquarters is relieved, it is possible to set up an ambush waiting for us in Rogge Town."
"In addition, our number is small, and the material pressure for long-term voyages will be relatively small. If we go directly to the upside down mountain like this, it will not be a big problem."
Listening to the hidden dangers that Maud raised, Lafayette thought about it seriously.
This is indeed a possibility.
They killed the Nandekanet royal family who were going to attend the World Conference and two of their own warships that were responsible for the escort mission.
With such a heinous incident and the fact that the World Conference has ended, it is not surprising that the Navy Headquarters took action.
Considering the potential risks, Lafayette was inclined to Maude's decision and nodded without raising any contrary opinions.
but…
Lafayette looked at Jim who was silent and Bailey who was drooling.
Maud noticed Lafayette's behavior and immediately thought of this issue.
At this moment, Lafayette withdrew his gaze and turned to Maude.
Their eyes intertwined in mid-air.
Needless to say, both parties took the issue of appetite into consideration.
"Let them endure it for a while."
Maude shook her head slightly.
"It can only be this way."
Lafayette nodded.
There was already a Bailey on the ship who had a huge appetite, and now there was another Jim. Although there were not many of them, they needed to consume a lot of food every day.
"What are you talking about?"
Bailey came closer and looked at the two of them curiously.
Maude and Lafayette couldn't help but look at Bailey, and they remained silent together in a tacit understanding.
"???"
Bailey suddenly had a question mark, and felt that the eyes of these two guys were strange.
Half an hour later.
Jaya prepared a rich dinner.
Maude took a few bites, feeling the multi-layered deliciousness dancing on her tongue, and then compared it with the salt-free food she had eaten during this period.
“It’s really a blessing to have a great chef by your side.”
He sighed from the bottom of his heart.
If you want to sail on the sea for a long time, a good cook is indispensable.
Delicious food can not only relax the body and mind of the crew, but a well-balanced nutritional mix can also keep the crew's physical condition at a level at all times.
The most important thing is that Jia Ya’s food supplement cuisine can bring these two advantages into full play.
Everyone began to wolf down the food.
Jia Ya smiled and said nothing.
It was the first time for Usopp to eat such delicious food. While he was mad, he felt very disappointed.
He knew that Maude could not stay here forever, but he did not expect that Maude would leave here tomorrow.
The night is getting darker.
The bonfire in the forest is getting more and more prosperous.
