“Isn’t this too delicious?”
"I..I've never eaten anything so delicious."
"Me too!"
While eating, he was mumbling something incoherently.
How long has it been
Due to the torment of not having a chef, the only way to get there is to sail the boat to a more lively town and spend money to eat relatively good meals in local restaurants.
besides..
Every day they either make bread or barbecue, and the people in charge of baking are not very skilled. It is no exaggeration to say that since Thatch was killed by Blackbeard, they have been living in dire straits almost every day.
"Hiss! Ha! Hiss! Ha!"
Fossa's lips started to turn red and swollen from the spiciness, but he did not stop what he was doing. Instead, he used his hand speed, which had been acquired from years of wielding a knife, to put all the dishes into his bowl faster than anyone else.
"Wow, Captain Fossa is so cunning!"
"He wants to eat the food all by himself!"
"We must not let him succeed!"
A group of pirates shouted loudly, and then took out soup spoons from somewhere and frantically scooped food and soup into their bowls.
The warm broth gurgles down your throat, and you take a bite of the tender and juicy meatballs. The spicy taste emerges from the tip of your tongue. Combined with the large amount of pepper that Vivian puts in it, a crispy and numb feeling is created in your entire mouth.
Therefore, after only a few minutes, more than a dozen large pots were empty, but everyone was still "huffing and puffing" with an expression that showed they were still not satisfied. They were really addicted to the spiciness, and the spicier the food was, the more they wanted to eat.
"Hiss~hiss~~It's... gone?"
“But I’m not full yet.”
The pirates turned their heads and looked at Vivian who was leaning against the door with expectant eyes.
"Yes, of course. There are ten pots cooking on the stove." Vivian said with a cigar in his mouth and smiled slightly.
Of course he knew that this amount was not enough for so many people, so after making the first batch of spicy hot pot, he poured the remaining ingredients into another pot, added seasonings, and continued to cook it over low heat.
Similarly, hearing Vivian's words, the pirates in the restaurant cheered loudly. Many of them subconsciously moved the drinks piled around them and said excitedly: "It's a rare opportunity to eat such delicious food, why don't we just have a party?"
“Good idea!”
They haven't had a party since Ace died on the battlefield above. Now, two years later, the benefactor who saved their father has returned to the ship and cooked a delicious meal for everyone. Isn't this worthy of a party
So regardless of whether Vivian wanted to stay or not, at Whitebeard's nod, the pirates immediately opened the champagne, walked up to Vivian, put their arms around her shoulders, and started singing loudly.
The rough singing soon filled the entire pirate ship.
Outside, on the deck of the warship, the sailors who had been extremely worried about the safety of their colonel just now, became confused and looked at each other after hearing the melodious and joyful song.
"Should we still call the bug to inform the headquarters?"
"I think we should give up. What if they see reinforcements and kill Colonel Vivian?"
“That’s right.”
"So what should we do now? It's been almost two hours. Are we just going to stand there like this? The sun is about to set."
Someone asked.
As soon as those words were spoken, everyone turned their gazes towards Fujitora.
Because of his contribution in destroying Joker's underground world, Fujitora's military rank has been promoted to second lieutenant. Although this position is still not commensurate with his ability, at least his monthly salary has been increased to 500,000 Baileys.
In this way, at least I won't have to borrow money from Vivian every month because I lose too much when playing mahjong.
"How about we eat first?"
Feeling everyone's eyes on him, Fujitora pondered for a moment and said so.
Navy: (⊙_⊙)
...
Haiyuan calendar year 1524, mid-February.
The small patrol warship led by Vivian encountered the Whitebeard Pirates' flagship, the Moby Dick, less than ten nautical miles away from the G1 branch in the New World. The two sides fought fiercely for ten hours, but in the end, they left peacefully because of their equal strength.
"You want me to believe this?"
Akainu frowned, crossed his hands and placed them on his chin, and asked the navy soldier in front of him who was responsible for reporting.
Thunder Swordsman..
Although Vivian does have some strength, isn't it too far-fetched to say that he can be compared with the Whitebeard Pirates
"I don't know...but according to the soldiers at the scene, it seems that only the captain of the first squadron, Marco, and the captain of the second squadron, Logt Larven, were on the other pirate ship at the time, so..."
"Marco and Larven?"
"That's right." The soldier nodded. "According to the oral account, Vivian and Jinpei fought with Marco, and... the middle-aged marine named Yixiao fought on equal terms with Logt Larven..."
"Is it the guy in the purple kimono?"
The middle-aged blind man who followed Vivian all day long had unfathomable strength. They had noticed this man a long time ago. After investigating the information for a period of time, they found that Yixiao was born in the Grand Line and had been living a wandering life almost alone for more than 50 years.
He had no criminal record and had never been a pirate. Like Vivian, he had a very clean background.
But these two guys get together...
Akainu stretched out his thumb and began to rub his chin.
"This combination may have a high chance of being turned against by the Revolutionary Army..."
"Then... Admiral Akainu, should we report this matter to the government truthfully?"
"Report."
Akainu nodded. Since it was written in the record, there was no need for him to change it.
Furthermore, doubting these two guys is one thing, but Akainu is still very much looking forward to it in his heart, because these two are extremely loyal to the government and the navy.
"Write a letter for me later and tell the Five Elders that the new admiral candidate may have been found." Akainu continued.
...
The other side.
"Vivian, who is this woman?"
In Taotu's house, Domino pointed at Ai Li who was holding Vivian's arm. His pair of heterochromatic eyes exuded murderous intent under his sunglasses, and he questioned Vivian angrily.
Vivian: ∑(O_O;)
