Red-footed Tetsuo, with a bounty of up to 69 million berries! In the East China Sea, where the average bounty is 3 million berries, he can be regarded as a dominating pirate.
Not only the diners around him, but also the chefs under Tetsuo had no idea that their boss was such a powerful pirate.
"Smelly old man, you..." Sanji, who was following Zhefu, stared blankly at Zhefu's wooden prosthetic leg, not knowing what to do for a while.
Tetsuo's leg was broken because of him. Neither he nor Tetsuo wanted to mention the specific past, but Sanji always believed that he had dragged Tetsuo down. Now that he knew Tetsuo's past, this feeling was infinitely magnified.
"Those are all boring past events." Zhefu said calmly: "So, guest, have you decided what you want to eat?"
"Ah, sorry, I kept talking on a whim." Victor smiled slightly: "Provence fish soup, seafood pastry cream sauce, medium rare lamb saddle steak, and a small portion of strawberry and cucumber."
"Please wait." Zhefu nodded, turned around and left with the chefs.
"Huh?" Victor glanced at the small figure following Zhefu: "Brother, can you please wait a moment?"
Zhefu pulled the confused Sanji to his side nervously, looked at Victor and said slowly: "This guy is just a helper. If he offends you in any way, please forgive him."
This is no wonder Tetsuo is so nervous. Powerful men of the level of King Shichibukai are basically moody monsters. Even if the reports about the evil chain in newspapers are positive news, there is no guarantee that it is not false information fabricated by the World Government to build momentum for them.
.If Sanji really offends him in some way, it would be difficult to save him even if he risked his life.
Victor was stunned for a moment when he saw Zhefu's nervous expression, and then said with an apologetic smile: "It seems that you have misunderstood, Boss Zhefu. I'm just familiar with this guy's appearance, and I hope to ask him something, please."
You can rest assured.”
Nami, who was sitting on the side drinking juice, laughed loudly: "Master is hated, hahahaha!" As soon as her cheerful laughter took off, she was killed by Victor's head bang.
Zhefu's nervousness was relieved a lot by Nami's smile. He patted Sanji on the back: "Since Lord Victor said so, go ahead, Sanji. You must answer Lord Victor's questions properly and don't play tricks."
head!"
Sanji walked to Victor in a daze. Looking at the attitudes of the people around him, he roughly understood that the speechless handsome blond guy in front of him was a great big shot. But he still didn't understand what he was worth about him.
Ask, unless...
Taking Sanji outside to the deck, with the refreshing sea breeze blowing, Victor found a dry place to sit on the ground and motioned for Sanji to sit down as well.
"Don't be nervous, little brother. I just saw that your appearance looks familiar, so I wanted to ask you."
Victor made a gesture on his eyebrows with his finger: "The circled eyebrows are so distinctive, so I want to ask, brother, are you not from Donghai?"
Sanji shook his head: "I was born in Beihai."
"...As expected." Victor nodded: "Second question, are you a member of the Vinsmoke family in Beihai?"
As soon as Sanji heard this, he knew that the other party had figured out his origin. He lowered his head and said in frustration: "It used to be..."
"Last question. Vinsmoke Reiju...is your sister?"
Sanji raised his head and glanced at Victor, then lowered his head: "...Hmm."
"There's really a big difference in size between you two." Victor said in surprise: "That princess is almost as tall as me, why are you still so short?"
"I, I just grow slowly!" Sanji was furious, and then asked carefully: "Reiju...is she okay?"
Since her mother's death, Reiju was the only family member in that ruthless family who showed kindness to him. When the Vinsmoke family invaded the East China Sea a year ago, she even fought hard to be punished by her father and to be released from prison.
came out and allowed himself to escape to a nearby merchant ship. Sanji still had great feelings for Reiju.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess is living a good life, but the 'Hunting Festival' unexpectedly failed. I hope she can continue her efforts."
Victor looked at Sanji, who was a little reserved, and said with a smile: "Don't be so nervous. I have no grudges with the Vinsmoke family, I just met Her Highness the Princess once. As for you, the wandering prince.
Your Highness, I won’t ask too much about the reason, I just want to ask you - do you want to contact your father? I can provide his phone number."
As he said that, a piece of paper emerged from the zipper space in Victor's hand, which was exactly the piece of paper that Reiju had given him with Vince Mockaji's personal phone number on it.
Sanji shook his head vigorously: "That man... doesn't allow me to claim to be his son. I don't want to talk to him on the phone!"
Victor shrugged his shoulders and took the note back: "If you plan to talk to him, I can provide you with the phone number; if you want to see him, I can let you board the ship and follow us to the North Sea; but if you
I don’t want to have any contact with them, and I respect your wishes.”
He stood up and patted the soil, then pulled Sanji up from the deck and winked at him: "In the final analysis, it was just an [accidental encounter]. Since you don't want them to know that you are in the East China Sea,
Then I’ll just pretend I don’t know anything, okay?”
Sanji nodded happily.
"But since we have met, let me give you a gift." A black revolver appeared in Victor's palm and handed it to Sanji: "Boss Zhefu's kicking skills are good, learn from them. But you will inevitably avoid it in the future.
If you encounter long-range enemies that you can't kick with your feet, I'll give you this revolver. There's no harm in taking the time to practice your gun skills."
Sanji took the revolver and stroked this exquisite weapon fondly. Men all like guns, no matter how old they are.
When Victor brought Sanji back to the restaurant, the first dish was served just in time. Tetsuo took the spoon himself, and the taste was indeed well-deserved.
Victor and the three of them were very satisfied with the meal. After the meal, they chatted with Tetsuo for a long time. As expected, Tetsuo declined Victor's offer, but Victor was not angry either. He just paid for the meal with a smile and left with Haoyuki and Nami.
The sea restaurant Barati.
On the Berger, Nami asked curiously: "Master, why on earth did we go to that restaurant on the sea? Is it really for a meal?" Her mind was spinning very fast, and she was already vaguely aware of it.
Victor's intention.
"I originally hoped to recruit a team of combat chefs for the 'Passionate Ark', but unfortunately Boss Zhefu prefers to run the restaurant on the sea." Victor threw the orange in his hand and said with a smile: "But it doesn't matter, life can't always be smooth sailing."
"Victor, where is the next destination?" Haoxue put down the navigation chart in his hand and asked.
"Rogge Town, that place known as the 'Town of Beginnings and Ends'." Victor peeled off the orange peel, but his eyes drifted into the distance:
"When you come to this world, it's unreasonable not to take a look at the [execution platform]."
