Rapeseed Blossom, a port city in Alabasta.
Since it is a port city, it is full of people coming and going here, and all kinds of businessmen, travelers and pirates shuttle through the streets and alleys of this city.
It was time for dinner, but in a small restaurant in the city, there was silence.
It's not because the business in this restaurant is deserted and there are no diners, on the contrary, this restaurant is a well-known restaurant in this city, and there are quite a lot of diners.
However, at this moment, all the diners in the entire restaurant stared dumbfounded at the two people who were eating hazel at the dining table.
Of these two people, one is a man wearing a cowboy hat with his upper body bare, and the other is a black bear fur tribe covered in fluff. At this time, the dining table is already full of empty dinner plates for the two of them. , one pile after another, there are more than a dozen piles, and the height of each pile is enough to cover the restaurant owner behind the dining table.
It is conservatively estimated that the two of them have almost eaten the amount of food that only seventy or eighty people can eat!
This... Is this still a human being!
The diners in the restaurant have never seen such an edible person! And from the looks of it, the two seem to be competing to see who eats more.
"Five more large plates of pork chop rice!" Ace held up his rice fork with a piece of beef on it, his cheeks were bulging, and he didn't know how to shout this sentence.
And Duo Luni next to him was not to be outdone, and shouted: "I want ten large plates of pork chop rice!"
"Oh... oh! Good... good!" The restaurant owner and the seven or eight helpers who helped him answered in cold sweat.
They found that their restaurant prepared enough ingredients for the restaurant to use for a whole day, and it took only a short while for these two people to eat them up!
Ian was sitting next to Ace, drinking a drink, and when he heard Ace and Doroni continue to order, Ian couldn't help but feel the pain and the muscles on his face twitched!
Nima, two big foodies, I'm afraid this meal will eat up hundreds of thousands of Bailey's meal money!
As far as Ace's appetite is concerned, Ian understands why he always likes to eat Bawang's meal. It is very likely that he eats too much every time, even if he has money, he can't give it enough!
Because Ian now also has the urge to jump over the wall and not give money...
Ian glanced at Matthew who was sitting next to Doroni. Matthew was also eating at this time, but he was eating while appreciating the chef's craftsmanship here, and said a few words slowly from time to time The sharp evaluation of the dishes resulted in the owner of the restaurant respecting him, listening respectfully, and suffering the poison of Matthew's slow tone...
"Hey, they are all careless guys!" Ian felt a little bit broken by this scene...
"Hehe, Ace is really good at eating!" Robin, who was sitting on Ian's left, couldn't help but smile when he saw this scene, and said, "Doruni has eaten the fruit of gluttony, and Ace can actually eat it with him." He's on par, he's really good!"
"Amazing fart!" Ian couldn't help but swear, and said, "Look, this guy eats too much to walk, he must want me to carry him on his back! How can he eat so much? ? He was just cheating me!"
Robin covered his mouth lightly and giggled.
The same is true for Reiju, smiling at the scene of Ace and Doroni eating and drinking, with a gentle look on her face, seeing Ian looking at her strangely, she explained: "When people are eating, It should be the happiest time, right? Sanji often had such an expression when he was young!"
Both Reiju and Robin are very mature older sisters, so their perspectives on problems are somewhat different from Ian's, but anyway, after hearing what the two said, Ian could only be speechless. I buried myself in the calculation of how much this meal would cost, and whether I had enough money on my body.
Ian is actually a rich man. When he came out this time, he brought more than 20 million Baileys with him as travel expenses, and as Shichibukai, as long as he has no money, he can catch a pirate at sea and send it to the navy. In exchange for bounties, so there is no need to worry about expenses.
But the problem is, I can't stand the fact that Ace and Doruni eat like this!
After leaving Magnetic Drum Island, Ian and the others took about ten days to come back to Alabasta. Because Alabasta is the only way to go on this route, so Ian and Ace guessed, That Teach guy will be here for sure.
However, the strange thing is that when Ian and the others went to the island, they were surprised by the results of their inquiries, because they learned from the local population that no Blackbeard pirates had landed at the port during this period of time. Pass.
Tiqi and his group are really eye-catching. If they have landed, people here will definitely have an impression of them, but Ian asked many people, and no one has seen Tiqi and his group.
Therefore, Ian guessed that one possibility is that the Blackbeard Pirates landed a long time ago, and then left quietly, because Tiqi and the others left Magnetic Drum Island ten days earlier than Ian and the others, and they should have arrived at Arla long ago. bastan.
Another possibility is that something happened to Tiqi and the others on the way and they were delayed.
Ian thought about it, and felt that the latter possibility was more likely, because things on the great route are difficult to explain clearly. Sometimes a violent storm may cause the ship to lose its direction. If this happens to Titch and the others, they may have to take a long detour to get to Alabasta.
So, after discussing with Ace, Ian and Ace decided to wait for a while at the port of Rape Flower City to see if Tiqi and the others would land later.
As a result, I waited for more than a week! It's almost ten days!
Now, Ian has been hesitating whether to go to the next island to have a look, or continue to wait here.
Just when Ian was thinking this way, Robin suddenly poked Ian who was distracted with his fingers, and said, "Captain, Ace fell asleep again..."
Ian turned his head and looked, didn't he? This guy had the same old problem again, because he ate too comfortably, so he fell asleep after eating, holding the fork in his hand, but buried his face in the food plate.
Helplessly pinching Ace's neck and pulling his head out to prevent him from suffocating to death later, he gave him a head hammer to wake him up.
This is what Ian does these days...
After being hit by Ian, Ace woke up suddenly, looked around, and then grabbed the fur of Dorone next to him, and used it to wipe his face vigorously. After the residue on his face was wiped off, he then With a disgusted expression on Duo Luni's face, he turned his head to Ian and said, "Huh! Ian, I'm done eating, let's go!"
Helpless, Ian had no choice but to settle the bill. As a result, this meal cost Ian 970,000 Baileys. When paying the bill, Ian wanted to put Ace as a mortgage and wash the dishes here...
"Let's go!" Ian greeted, and the six got up and walked out of the restaurant.
However, when he just pushed open the door of the restaurant and went out, Ian, who was walking in the front, bumped into a person who had just entered the door!
"Boy! Walk carefully..."
The person who was hit by Ian rubbed his chest before finishing his sentence, but when he saw Ian's appearance, he was stunned.
"It's you!?"
"It's you!?"
Ian and the visitor said this in unison in surprise.
The person who came had white hair, was wearing a coat with a bare chest, a cigar that was always smoking in his mouth, and a ten-hand stuck in his back. It wasn't Smoker, an old smoker who would who is it!
When Ian saw Smoker, he had the urge to beep the dog. Is this guy here because he came after the Straw Hat Pirates? Then his appearance, does it mean that the Straw Hat Pirates have also landed in Alabasta
Subconsciously, Ian looked behind Smoker, and the first thing he saw was Da Siqi with short hair, and the second thing he saw was Gu Xiaoqi standing next to Da Siqi like twins. Ina, except that her hair is a little longer and she doesn't wear glasses.
Kuina was also a little surprised when she saw Ian, but she quickly realized it and couldn't help but wink at Ian mischievously.
A smile flashed across Ian's eyes, and he immediately understood what Guina meant.
So, he raised his hand and greeted Smoker with a smile: "Hey, Smoker, are you coming to eat too?"
Smoker took a few puffs of his cigar, and then exhaled a large cloud of smoke. He said rather depressedly, "Why are you here?"
