Sanji was a little depressed by Zhepu's words. He flicked the ashes from his cigarette and responded with an unhappy voice.
"Obviously, providing food to any diners is the best quality of our chefs!
And you taught me these!
As a result...how come you are talking about this matter like this now, but it makes us look really cheap!"
After finishing his words, Sanji threw the cigarette into his mouth and stared into Zhepu's eyes unhappily.
As for Zhepu, facing the look in the eyes of the brat in front of him, he was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head helplessly.
"I...hey..."
He said with great melancholy.
"The reason why I taught you that way before is, on the one hand, what I taught you was indeed the principles of life.
On the other hand..."
I saw Zhepu gently hammering Sanji's chest.
"On the other hand, haha, with your small body, you don't have the qualifications to be willful!
Think about it carefully, kid. I was also a pirate who sailed on the Grand Line back then. Even if I wash my hands in a golden basin now, I still can't live a life of a farmer.
My nickname is Red-footed Zhepu. I have red feet. The reason why my feet are red is because they are soaked in the blood of countless people!!!
I have even forgotten how many people I killed. The number of ships I plundered alone exceeded three digits!
For a person like me, even if I give up my life as a pirate and become a cook, I still want to be a cook wandering on the sea. This is why I designed the Barati restaurant as a ship instead of placing the restaurant in a town!
But there is a very important thing here, that is, a restaurant floating on the sea like me rarely has normal diners arriving!
Think about it, kid, after our restaurant opens, not only pirates but also the navy will come to our restaurant!
Occasionally, a few merchant ships will dock at our restaurant for a while, but merchant ships sail to make money. They may come to our restaurant for an occasional meal, but they will never get too close to us!
Just because our customers are either pirates or the navy, the pirates will rob their merchant ships, and the navy will collect taxes from them!!!"
Having said this, Zhepu rubbed his beard in frustration. His beard, which was tied into a big braid, was a good place to vent his frustrations.
While rubbing his beard, Zhepu continued to talk to Sanji.
"When I say this, you should probably understand, kid!
Compared with other ordinary restaurants, our restaurant only receives dangerous customers!
It was nothing when I was here. I am also a qualified person. Even if I lose a leg, I can still beat the so-called supernovas every year!
Because in my time, I also made a supernova!
But what about you!"
Zhepu slapped Sanji hard on the head.
"Compared to me, whether you are the cook on the ship or you, the little brat, you are all too weak!
I will die sooner or later, and when that happens, you guys will have to deal with those troublesome customers on your own!
In this case, I must teach you to treat your diners well. The water in this sea is too deep. Maybe any shabby and bad diners are monsters hidden in the corners!…
Just like Lord Gawain's Blind Tiger Smile, he is a monster who is qualified to fight against Whitebeard, but before he joined the Blackbird, wasn't he just an old gambler who hung out in major casinos?
It’s still the kind that you can’t win just by gambling!”
"Well……."
Sanji was stunned when Zhepu said this. He felt that all the ways he had learned to behave were all taught by Zhepu in order to protect himself.
This reality makes Sanji even more depressed. How can there be such a person!
"Old man!"
Sanji immediately said unhappily.
"That's too much for you to say. Do you think I'm a child who can't change my diaper without you?
Besides, in addition to teaching me to be respectful to diners, didn’t you also teach me legwork?
With the skills you taught me, I won't be able to survive in the East China Sea, which is the weakest sea!"
"snort!"
As soon as Sanji finished speaking, Zhepu immediately gave him another violent shock.
“The weakest sea, the weakest sea, you all like to put this word in your mouth!
But think about it, kid, the weakest sea in your mouth has gathered almost every strongest person in the world!
The leader of the revolutionary army, the hero of the navy, and even Roger, the only pirate king in history, his hometown is the East China Sea!
I really don’t understand. Countless big names have come out of this sea and made their fortunes. However, just because this sea does not have as many gangsters and minions as the other three seas, they are called the weakest by a group of ignorant fools.
ocean!"
Having said this, Zhepu twisted his mouth fiercely, and his beard jumped up and down.
"Now, kid, do you still dare to say that the East China Sea is the weakest sea?
At best, this place is more peaceful than other sea areas, but peace should not be a derogatory term!!!"
Having said this, Zhepu sat up from the ground. He patted his butt and pulled Sanji up casually.
"Come with me to meet Lord Gawain. I have already decided. I will accept Lord Gawain's invitation and become the chief chef on the Black Bird!
You kid won't abandon me, but I'll point to you to support me in my old age, you bastard!
So, come with me, and when you meet Lord Gawain later, just keep your normal appearance, Lord Gawain doesn’t have so many rules!"
"But……?!!"
Seeing Zhepu becoming more and more arrogant, Sanji got up from the ground depressedly, and asked softly while arranging his clothes.
"But, old man, are you sure this place is more suitable for us than the East China Sea?
We operate in the East China Sea, isn't it because this place is weak...it's peaceful here, so there's less trouble?
I always feel that if we get on the ship, the trouble will increase along with the Black Bird!"
"Hey, you little brat!"
As soon as Sanji finished speaking, Zhepu blew his beard again, stared at Sanji and shouted.
"Young people like you always think too much and accidentally forget the key!
When you told me that we may not join the Black Bird, you have forgotten that we have no right to refuse!
I have just been telling you about the benefits of joining the Black Bird, but even without those benefits, would we be qualified to refuse the invitation from the Tianlong people?…
Remember my words, kid, don’t think you have the right to argue with your superiors just because they look nice to you!"
As he spoke, Zeppa took Sanji's arm and pulled him out of the cabin.
The moment he walked out of the cabin, the overwhelming noise on the deck immediately woke Sanji up.
Facing the gentle sea breeze in the middle of the night, Sanji gently patted his face.
"Yeah, I'm irrational. We really don't have the right to refuse."
Having said this, Sanji seemed to have figured something out. He turned his head towards Zhepu and showed a relaxed smile.
"Speaking of which, old man, joining the Black Bird is really good.
There are so many condiments on this ship, and the rare ingredients make me dazzled.
I even feel that with the rich material reserves of this ship, even Ravdru's ingredients may not be more abundant than here!
Thinking about it this way, this is really a paradise for excellent chefs, haha!”
After saying that, Sanji walked out of his worry about gains and losses, and then walked towards Gawain in the distance gracefully and easily.
The old man had done so much for him in the past, so it was time for him to do something for him, such as not causing serious trouble for him!
But just as they passed through one round table after another, Sanji suddenly stopped again!
He awkwardly pointed to Gawain's table in the distance and yelled at Zhepu in disbelief.
"Old man, isn't it appropriate for us to go there now?!!"
"Of course it's not appropriate!"
Seeing clearly what happened at Gawain's table, Zhepu pushed Sanji behind him very nervously.
"What the hell, why is this old guy Garp quarreling with Gao Wensheng again!
We'd better wait for a while until they finish arguing before going over, otherwise if they start fighting, we won't be able to catch a punch or a kick!"
…
…
…
Not long ago, after Gawain enthusiastically drank more than a dozen glasses of wine with Zhepu, Zhepu said that he would give Gawain an accurate answer after asking about his godson's attitude.
Although Lucci, Shiliu and Spandam were extremely unhappy about this, they couldn't get used to seeing a mere cook acting in front of Lord Gawain.
But for Gawain, what he invested in was the future, destiny, and Sanji...
Gawain was very optimistic about Zhepu's question about Sanji.
What Gawain is doing now is to steal the help from Destiny's child.
He wants to steal Liu Bang's Xiao He and Han Xin, and he wants to steal Li Shimin's Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong!
If luck really exists, then Gawain would have almost wiped out all the luck in the One Piece world!
In this way, Gawain enthusiastically agreed to Zhepu's behavior and allowed Zhepu to leave the dinner table and contact Sanji.
And just after Zhepu left, Garp, who was really confused and confused, said something to Gawain with his mouth wide open.
"Kid, tsk tsk, the way you look at Zhepu always makes me feel that you have some evil intentions!"
"Ha ha!"
Hearing Garp's words, Gawain smiled and spread his hands innocently.
"Garp, what does it mean to have bad intentions? I am a good person myself, and my opinions are good intentions!"…
"How are you?"
Capuche sneered, then patted his chest.
"Even I don't dare to say that I am a good person, but you are actually quite brazen."
Having said this, Garp snorted hard through his nose, and then he took Rayleigh and took a big sip of wine.
After drinking, he picked up the onion rings garnished with the steak and said to Gawain in retrospect.
"In this life, huh, I had a chance to be a good person!
But, damn it, I still made a big mistake that I will regret for the rest of my life!!!"
Garp suddenly stood up, and then slammed his hands on the table.
"What a ghost, kid, you actually dragged little Ace to your boat!
This is really... really..."
Garp miraculously got stuck. He stuttered and looked at Ace sadly.
Noticing Garp's eyes, Ace, who was hugging Sabo, stuck out his tongue at Garp in confusion.
"Old man, look at what I did. Uncle pulled me on board. That's because he appreciates my potential, haha!"
Okay, my dear, this kid really drank too much...
Not to mention that when he called himself young master, the old-timers around him laughed and rolled their eyes.
After Ace finished speaking, Garp was stunned for a moment.
After the sluggishness passed, Garp forced a smile and said softly.
"Yes, kid Gawain appreciates your potential and appreciates that kid directly uses his own identity and status to vouch for you!
Do you know, the fact that you are Roger’s son has now spread throughout the entire navy, and it is estimated that it will not be long before it spreads throughout the entire sea!!!”
"Huh? So what?"
Ace asked in confusion, now he had already seen his identity.
On the side, listening to Ace's rhetorical question, Garp slammed the table.
"How about it, hum, with Gao Wen as your guarantee, of course nothing will happen to you!
But I tell you, even if you have Gao Wen as your guarantee, there will always be people who have thoughts about you in this sea!
Even within the navy, there are differences in attitude towards you. Most of the young navy think you should be arrested and publicly executed!
But it's strange that Sakaski, Kuzan and Porusalino actually reached an agreement on this matter. I don't know how Gawain fooled them. In short, they suppressed you.
Finally, we didn’t cause any trouble in the navy!
But you have to know that this sea doesn’t just belong to the navy. Guess what those big pirates forgotten by the times will think after your identity is exposed!!!
Needless to say, Roger's crew, this old guy Rayleigh has already called himself your godfather.
As for other people, your presence is destined to make them move!
In addition to Roger's crew, don't forget that Roger still has enemies!
I can't think of anyone else, but I'm sure that once your identity is completely revealed, Shi Ji, that damn bastard, will definitely show up to see you!
That bastard destroyed half of Malinford. I and Sengoku wished they had not killed him on the spot. Ever since he escaped from Impel Down, he has been floating in the sky and hiding endlessly, leaving me and Sengoku nowhere to pursue him!…
But you, haha, I don’t know what others think, anyway, Sengoku and Ahe have already started to make plans against Shiji based on you!
And this is just the beginning, because even Shi Ji cannot be a trouble to Gawain.
But you have to know that the most important people on this sea are not the pirates or the navy, but the Five Old Stars!!!"
Having said this, Garp raised his big hand and slapped himself hard on the head!
"I have regretted my whole life, why did I agree to Roger's damn request?
Why do I have to be loyal to the pirates and hide the news about you and Lujiu!
Because your birth was not tracked by Wulaoxing, Wulaoxing ordered that all the school-age children in the South China Sea be killed in the year you were supposed to be born!
That’s more than 20 million newborns!!!”
At this point, Garp was already close to coma. He had been seriously injured due to the fight with everyone, and he had been drinking strong alcohol for more than five hours.
He was really drunk now, and he didn't use Life Return to control the alcohol in his body at all.
He was so dazed that he fell down on his chair in annoyance. Facing the stunned people around him, especially the stunned Ace, Garp raised his hands to cover his eyes.
"Twenty years ago, I thought I was a hero, whether it was defeating Rocks or Roger, especially when I refused the promotion offered to me by the Five Old Stars.
But after having you, I no longer dare to call myself a hero. I am a stubborn devil. I am so stubborn that I have become a bastard in the eyes of the young navy!
You know, although they didn't say it, I could see the incomprehension in the sailors' eyes.
When they know you were raised by me, they won’t be able to understand me anymore!
In the entire South China Sea, how many families have not lost one of their children because of my protection for you?
That’s all my debt to the entire sea!”
boom!!!
Suddenly, Garp stood up abruptly. He stretched his arms with all his strength, and the bandages wrapped around his body were suddenly torn apart by his majestic muscles.
At this moment, his body was covered with scars, with blood and pus dripping down bit by bit.
With such a tall body, Garp shouted to Gawain!
"Perhaps you don't know that I have already submitted my resignation letter to Warring States.
Although he still won't pass because he needs me to sit in the position of a naval hero!
Wulao Xing won’t pass either, because Wulao Xing also needs me to stabilize my restless bastard son!
But I am no longer qualified to be a general officer. I want to be an ordinary instructor like Zefa, and bear the burden of sin to train more qualified successors than me for justice and the navy!
But those were all my previous thoughts. After seeing you today, I have a better idea!
Little devil, Gawain, stand up!!!
Somehow, I really want to beat you to death, or be beaten to death by you!
I'll beat you to death, because why didn't you, bastard, show up eighteen years earlier? Why are you so young, so young that you can't help me change that sinful past!
And being beaten to death by you..."
Garp, who was covered in scars, looked at Gawain with a solemn expression, and burst into tears for a while. He was silent for a long time, and finally continued to speak to Gawain.
"Even if the crime is serious, I must declare that this bastard Ace is my relative!
In any case, I must thank you for protecting my grandson!
Whether it gives him a safer environment or allows him to live in hiding no longer!
Especially, when you allow Ace to raise his head and become a human being, I must give you enough thanks!!!"
Having said this, Garp raised his right hand and clenched it into a fist.
While feeling the little strength left in his body, he said to Lu Qi, who was staring nervously at him not far away.
“You Gawain’s bastards, hurry up and get the camera phone bug!
I have been alone for many years, with no treasures or famous swords. All I have is my skills and the reputation that others have given me!
Gawain, let’s have another happy fight with me. This time it’s just you and me. We must also decide the winner!
What you have been doing all along has been to strive for higher fame. Although I can't guess how you want to use that fame, since you need it, the fame is here, just above my iron fist!
