Since the shop owner is a fan of Vivian, why couldn't he recognize Vivian
The reason is simple.
Vivian's image in magazines has always been wearing a navy uniform with a cloak of justice on her shoulders, but at this moment Vivian is wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts. Not only is she dressed very casually, but the skin on her face is much darker than in the magazine.
Maybe it's because the weather has been too hot recently and Vivian got tanned from staying on the deck. Anyway, this is the territory of the Three Emperors Straw Hat Boy, and after seeing Vivian's appearance for the first time, no one can associate her with the identity of a navy admiral.
Similarly, after seeing Vivian start smoking after finishing his meal, the shop owner turned around and reminded him, "My daughter can't stand the smell of cigarettes. If you're done, pay the bill and go outside to smoke."
Vivian: “…”
"How much?" he asked.
"The total is 45,000 Baileys." Klauna walked up and said, holding the bill.
"Forty-five thousand Baileys?"
Vivian raised her eyebrows when she heard this number, thinking to herself, not only did I have five courses for this meal, I also ate no less than ten bowls of rice. With all this food, you only charged me 45,000 Baileys, your store really won't lose money
But before he could finish his words, Klauna explained, "The store is closing anyway, so I'll sell you this meal at cost. It's also a commemoration of you being the last customer of our store."
As she said that, Klauna placed the bill in front of Vivian, put away the bowls and plates, and went into the kitchen to wash the dishes.
The shop owner and his son Boyce were left staring at Vivian, as if waiting for Vivian to pay.
Vivian scratched his forehead when he saw this, then took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket and handed it to the shop owner. "The total is 50,000 Baileys. I don't have 5,000 notes anymore, so you don't have to give me the change."
"No, it's forty-five thousand, and that's forty-five thousand, not a cent more. Boyce, go inside and give the change to this gentleman."
"good!"
Upon hearing this, Boyce immediately turned around and ran to the house next to the shop.
Vivian, who couldn't persuade the shop owner, had to continue sitting in her seat and waiting.
But at the same time, he had actually made up his mind. Since the three members of this family did not believe that he could solve the matter, he might as well shut up and wait for the other party to find the money and then go and kill the guy named Hausen by himself.
As long as the pirate died, the trouble would be solved naturally. However, he still had a strong interest in the god-level craftsmanship given by the first option.
"I don't know if there is a realm of god-level cooking skills above the grandmaster-level cooking skills..."
He muttered to himself.
When he recalled the taste of the bowl of soup just now, he couldn't help but start to savor it.
It would be such a pity if this store could not continue to operate.
"Here's the money."
Boyce also walked into the store at this time and handed a Bailey with a face value of 5,000 yuan to Vivian.
Vivian took it and was about to turn around and leave, but after thinking about it, she turned back and reminded the shop owner: "Don't rush to leave tonight, wait another day, maybe there will be a surprise tomorrow?"
After he finished speaking, he showed a very confident smile, and then casually transformed the five thousand yuan Bailey into the storage ring. Then he put his hands in his pockets, held a cigar in his mouth, and disappeared at the door of the seafood restaurant.
The shop owner was left staring blankly at Vivian's back as she disappeared into the street. He recalled the way she held the cigarette in her mouth just now and her ability to make money disappear out of thin air. He then looked down at the magazine in his hand.
There was silence for about ten seconds.
“Oh my God!”
The shop owner finally reacted and inserted his ten fingers into his already sparse hair. He suddenly fell into a state of half excitement and half collapse.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?" Boyce asked puzzledly.
"I didn't recognize him!"
The shop owner suddenly placed the magazine in front of Boyce and said excitedly, "That man just now was Thunder General Vivian. He was actually sitting in our shop eating! My God, I didn't recognize who he was until now. Most importantly, I actually took his money? No, I have to return the money quickly!"
The shop owner said this and quickly ran out of the shop. But after looking around on the street, he couldn't see Vivian anywhere.
"Why.."
He sighed with some regret, but when he thought of what Vivian had said to him before leaving, the shop owner's expression suddenly became happy again.
"Bois, did you hear everything just now? General Thunder said that we should leave one day later."
"I heard...I heard it."
Boyce nodded in a daze. He wondered how the guy who ate like a starving ghost in the store just now suddenly turned into a navy admiral
Did Dad really not recognize the wrong person
"That's right. We are saved. General Thunder has come personally. Not to mention Hausen, even if Straw Hat Luffy comes, he will still have to give him face."
"This is the Thunder General..."
"He is just like what is described in the magazine. Once he encounters something like this, he will always help the weak."
"I really didn't make a mistake."
The more the shop owner spoke, the more excited his expression became.
However, Klauna, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, wiped the water stains on her hands and returned to the store after hearing her father's muttering.
"Dad, what are you talking about? Are you dreaming?"
"Daughter, that man just now was really Thunder General Vivian. Daddy was right about him. Take a look for yourself!"
Having said that, the shop owner handed the magazine over again.
After looking at the photo on the cover of the magazine, Klauna recalled the appearance of the guest just now, and the expression on her face began to become uncertain.
"Really...really a navy admiral?"
“It really is!”
The shop owner stepped forward and held down Klauna's shoulders. "Daughter, we are saved! General Thunder has promised to solve this matter for us!"
"Yeah.."
Klauna nodded as if she understood something.
But at the same time, some doubts arose in my heart.
Would Vivian really choose to offend the Straw Hat Pirates in order to help these unrelated civilians
...
The other side.
After eating and drinking his fill, Vivian strolled around the downtown for a while. When it was completely dark, he picked up his cigar again, put his hands in his pockets, turned around and walked quickly to the port behind the town.
