Sea restaurant ‘Balati’, lobby on the first floor.
The banquet continued, and Luffy and Ace completely transformed into sources of happiness, laughing and playing while eating and drinking.
Karina was so pestered by Luffy that she had no choice but to go on stage to sing. She sang folk songs that have been popular in the East China Sea in recent years. The chefs took the dishes and struck the accompaniment with knives and forks, and the rhythm was excellent. Usopp would be free
The dining table was erected and Zoro used the chair legs as drums to play, and the entire restaurant on the first floor fell into a sea of joy.
Nami had received Victor's strict education since she was a child, and she was not losing her composure at this time. She was just smiling softly while holding the wine glass. Sanji's right eye turned into a heart, and his whole body was spinning and twisting around Nami like a whirlwind, constantly showing his attentiveness:
"Miss Nami~~do you still remember me?"
"Remember, Sanji, right? That hunter's revolver was given to you by your master."
Nami still had some impression of the blond young man in estrus before her. The little dwarf had turned into a long-legged handsome guy, but this temperament was really... hard to compliment.
Before Sanji could say anything, suddenly there was some commotion at the banquet.
Luffy and Ace were seen holding forks holding large pieces of stewed meat, both of them burying their heads in the plates filled with seafood fried rice, motionless.
"They suddenly collapsed. What happened? Is there something wrong with our food?"
"It's impossible. All the ingredients are carefully selected and of high quality. There's no way there could be any problems."
"Did the injuries sustained in the previous battle break out and cause death?"
"Where's the doctor?"
The chefs were running around in a panic. Only Karina and Nami walked over at the same time and punched Luffy and Ace in the back of the head angrily: "Stop sleeping, you idiot!"
Luffy and Ace suddenly raised their heads, looked around blankly, and then at the same time grabbed Karina's skirt and pulled it up to wipe the rice grains from their faces.
One minute later.
Luffy and Ace had a series of big bumps on their heads, with tears in their eyes and grinning, whispering:
"It hurts so much, Ace. It feels like being beaten by grandpa..."
Ace rubbed his head and grinned and said, "It's 'dominance'... Hey, Nami is too cruel."
"Eight...seven?" Luffy tilted his head to express that he didn't understand at all.
"It's domineering!"
Ace scratched his chin, organized his words and then explained: "As long as you have this kind of power, you can greatly strengthen your attack power and defense power, and you can capture the entity of the devil fruit ability user, which is a very practical battle.
Skills. Oh, by the way, the strong men in the Grand Line will most likely know this skill."
"Okay, so awesome!"
Luffy looked excited: "So the Grand Line is so powerful? Ace, you also learned this skill in the Grand Line?"
"Uh..." Ace paused: "I do have a 'master'. Although his temper is not very good, he taught me a lot of fighting skills, including domineering."
"I want to learn too! Is it okay, Ace?" Luffy's eyes became bright and shiny, with a look of anticipation on his face.
Zoro, who was sitting not far away, also pricked up his ears, and the wine in his hand suddenly lost its aroma.
"There are no taboos in this thing. You can learn it, but if you don't know the tricks, you can easily cause problems with your body if you practice blindly."
Ace took a bite of fried rice and puffed his cheeks as he said, "Either get a domineering training method or get guidance from a teacher. After all, 'armed color' is different from 'witness color', the latter relies more on talent."
"What's the color of the weapon?" Zoro couldn't help it anymore and came over to ask.
Ace glanced at Zoro and explained: "Armed Haki can cover the body surface and greatly enhance the body's defense and even attack power. Those with advanced skills can also spread Armed Haki to the weapons in their hands to transform them into
It becomes an indestructible 'black knife'. Seeing, hearing and haki is a technique that can 'hear' the movements of long-distance creatures. It is very useful whether it is used to evade attacks or track down enemies in battle."
"And this kind of fighting skills..."
There was sweat on Zoro's forehead, but he couldn't help but smile.
"Ace! Teach us!" Luffy said impatiently.
It's been a long time since he saw his younger brother with an expression of admiration on his face. Ace was still a little proud, but he thought about it and refused: "Sorry Luffy, I'm afraid not. We are not here to play in the East China Sea this time, and we don't have enough time."
"Ace is right, we have other important things to attend to and don't have time to stay and teach you how to use Haki."
Nami walked over, glared at Ace, and then looked at Luffy: "But understanding Haki in advance is good for you and your pirate group. After all, even in the first half of the Grand Line
Very few people in the 'Paradise' know the existence of haqi. You have already started at a high level, little brother, you have earned it."
"Hey, what do you mean by your giving tone?"
Karina got up with a bang on the table, and Karina was unhappy. Her own captain can do whatever he wants, and others are not allowed to bully her!
"Literally, this... Ms. Fox." Nami looked Karina up and down and frowned: "Understanding high-level power too early will do you no good."
Karina stepped forward step by step until she was in front of Nami. She leaned against the tower and then both transformed, which was very visually impactful: "It's just domineering. Luffy can definitely learn it, so I don't need you to teach me! Don't look down on me."
You're gone, you orange cat!"
The corners of Nami's mouth curved slightly in a cold arc, and she refused to give in.
Luffy and Ace looked left and right, but no one dared to interrupt.
Just when the atmosphere began to solidify, a gentle word came from the door:
"Nami, don't be rude."
Nami, who had acted like a domineering female CEO before, heard this voice and immediately stepped aside like a mouse meeting a cat. Ace also sat upright, not forgetting to take off the orange cowboy hat on his head.
Others turned around and saw a slender and well-proportioned blond man standing at the front entrance of the restaurant on the first floor. He looked extremely handsome, like a god coming to the world. He was wearing an exquisite and low-key black suit with a white rose on his chest.
, wearing a black velvet cloak, looking at the restaurant owner Tetsuo with a smile:
"Boss Tetsuo, Sanji, long time no see."
Zhefu was stunned for a moment, then he put his hand on his chest and leaned forward slightly: "I haven't seen you for eight years, Mr. Victor."
Sanji looked surprised: "Mr. Victor! I have always taken good care of the gun you gave me!"
Karina had long forgotten the unpleasantness between her and Nami. When she saw this purple-haired beauty with a bumpy figure, her eyes turned into heart-shaped shapes, and she murmured: "Unexpectedly, it's Lord Vicious Chain..."
Live Mr. Evil Chain! Sign, sign... Do you want Mr. Evil Chain to sign it on my chest or... oh, how embarrassing, Karina, you shameless little fox, hehehehe!!"
Not to mention Karina who was rolling on the ground aside, Luffy stood up and looked at Victor sharply, and Victor looked back at him with a smile.
