“So delicious..”
"It's ten times better than the apple pie my mom's personal chef makes!"
Garrett pursed her red lips, licked the crumbs on her lips with her tongue, and then looked at the remaining egg tarts on the plate with an unsatisfied look.
"Would you like...a few more pieces?" Vivian asked.
"Um."
Garette nodded in a cold tone, and without caring whether Vivian agreed or not, she grabbed the iron plate, picked up the egg tart, tore open the tin foil, and began to stuff it into her mouth.
On the side, the other pirates who were in charge of supervising order at the scene were a little confused when they saw this.
Lady Garrett..how could she behave so inappropriately
You know, no matter what situation she encounters, Garrett has always been calm. But now she is acting out of character, not caring about her image and the competition at all, and she just starts eating the contestants' entries
"That little piece of pastry-like thing, is it really so delicious?"
"Nonsense, if it wasn't delicious, would Lady Garrett eat it so happily?"
"But Garrett is about to finish eating that thing, so what are we going to eat later?"
While they were talking, Garrett had eaten up all ten egg tarts on the plate.
But the woman was still licking her lips, looking at Vivian and asked, "Anything else?"
It turns out that butter can really make such delicious food.
She had been eating the butter fruit for so many years, but somehow, at this moment, she couldn't help but shed a few tears of emotion.
Finally.. I found what I was looking for..
She thought to herself.
"Don't cry. There's definitely more if you want it. I have plenty of ingredients." Vivian said, and took out a large amount of egg tart crusts from under the table.
However, at this moment, Garrett wiped the tears from her eyes, looked at Vivian with a sharp gaze and said, "Teach me how to make this, now, immediately, right now!"
The words fell.
Option 1: Follow Garrett's orders and tell her the complete recipe for making egg tarts. (Completion reward: 1 random animal-type devil fruit)
Option 2: Refuse sternly and tell Garrett that you will only tell her the recipe after you win the dessert competition and join the BIG MOM Pirates. (Completion reward: Random Parahuman Devil Fruit x1)
Option 3: Agree first, and tell Garrett that you have three or four desserts that are as delicious as egg tarts and can be made with butter. (Completion reward: random skill experience +1)
"Um.."
Such a cruel woman..
Looking at the options that appeared in front of him, he could guess with a little reasoning that if he chose the first option, this woman would most likely turn against him after getting the egg tart recipe. She would then find an opportunity to kill him after he won the prize, take back the prize money, and then make egg tarts herself to honor BIG MOM. This would not be in line with the style of these pirates.
As for the second item..
I'm afraid that before he can finish his words, Garrett will wave her hand and let all the pirates present draw their swords and chop him directly
So Vivian didn't hesitate and said directly: "Of course. But I know a lot of desserts, and almost all of them use butter, and the taste is no worse than the egg tarts you are eating now. It's too difficult to teach you all at once. How about after the game, I will find an opportunity to teach you 1v1 in the room alone?"
After saying that, the air suddenly became silent for a few seconds.
"Is everything you said true?" Garrett asked.
"Of course it's true." Vivian nodded.
That extremely confident expression immediately made Garrett believe it about 70%.
You chose option 3, and received a reward: "Farming" experience +1
"Well, when it's over, I'll send someone to bring you to the palace, and you'll come to my room and teach me in person." Garrett said without hesitation in front of the crowd.
Civilians at the scene: ⊙o⊙
On-site pirate: ヘ(′°□°)ヘ
Five lieutenant-level navy officers except Fujitora: (●′ω`●)
"Young Master is still as popular with girls as always."
"With just a few words, the girl personally invited me to stay in the same room with her tonight."
"I really envy him."
“Woo woo woo~~”
A sailor who had been single for more than 30 years couldn't help but cover his face and sob.
Fujitora on the side: (′-灬-')
"By the way, Uncle Yixiao, have you ever been married or in love?" Several marines turned to look at Fujitora.
Fujitora: “…”
"Well, we are here to carry out a mission. It is best to put other thoughts aside and not delay the important task or make mistakes."
"Tsk~~"
Uncle Yixiao is as serious as ever, which really spoils the fun.
The other side.
"It is the greatest honor of my life to be able to personally teach Lady Garrett the art of dessert making." Vivian bowed and replied with a smile in her eyes.
then..
An hour and a half later, the dessert competition officially came to an end. With Garrett's strong recommendation and the delicious egg tarts, Vivian won the dessert competition as expected and successfully took home a prize of 10 million Baileys.
That night, after throwing the purse to Fujitora for safekeeping, he used Den Den Mushi to confirm that the other two groups of people had not run into the whereabouts of the Blackbeard Pirates. Vivian then carried two bags of food, held a lollipop in her mouth, and, under the guidance of several pirates from the BIG MOM Pirates, entered the palace smoothly.
Big Mom's palace is a huge castle that rises into the clouds. It is located on the mountain range behind Cake Town. It covers an area of about 10,000 square meters and is so large that it is like a maze. Without a guide, once an outsider falls into it, there is probably no way to find the exit except jumping out of the window.
Vivian followed the two guards, circling east and west all the way. After more than ten minutes, they finally stopped in front of an ancient castle and successfully arrived at a room about fifty meters above the ground.
As soon as Vivian walked in, the guard outside locked the door tightly.
"Coming?"
A slightly hoarse voice sounded.
Vivian looked in the direction of the voice, and saw inside the huge room, on the sofa, a mature woman in a bright red dress and a purple feather shawl was shaking the wine glass in her hand. Her beautiful brown eyes were shining, as if Vivian was looking at her, and she also looked at Vivian, who was dressed in a formal suit, with interest.
"Lady Garrett, I have brought the ingredients. So when will the teaching start?" Vivian said.
"Don't worry yet."
Garrett said as she put down the red wine glass in her hand, then walked slowly to Vivian with her beautiful legs in high heels.
He reached out and gently stroked the beard on Vivian's chin, revealing a smile that could not be more wicked and charming.
"I heard that you not only want to join mom's pirate group, but you even want to marry into our family?"
Vivian: (?)
