Chapter 154: The Banquet
After a few kilometers of continuous flight, the Mini Merry began to slow down and finally landed on the surface of the sea to move forward with the power of the outer wheels. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"We've finally escaped!" After escaping Justice Island for some distance, Carter French, who was sitting on the Mini Merry, stared at William suspiciously, and asked continuously, "What's the matter with your fruit abilities? Is it animal, or is it superhuman, and everyone else has gone there?"
Carter French couldn't figure out why the rest of the Straw Hats had disappeared for no apparent reason, and he didn't know why William's fruit abilities had both animal and superhuman characteristics. Although Carter French was born on the Great Voyage and is in his thirties, his knowledge is mostly in shipbuilding and mechanics, and he doesn't know much more about Devil Fruits than ordinary people.
"Animal department!" Although Carter French has not joined the Straw Hats for the time being, he is also a comrade-in-arms who shares the hardships, and William said without concealment: "I am a lizardman in the form of a castle dragon who has eaten an animal-based lizard fruit!
"What is that?" Although Carter French didn't know the meaning of the animal phantom beast species in the Devil Fruit, he didn't plan to get to the bottom of the things he wasn't interested in, and finally just commented: "In short, you Devil Fruit Abilities are all monsters! Few of them are normal people at all!"
"But Luffy is so badly injured!" In the castle space, Chopper has already begun to check Luffy's body. Although Luffy was not lightly injured by Rob Luffy, it was not fatal, and the reason why Luffy couldn't move was because he overused the ability of "second gear", which caused his body to be overtired.
Although "second gear" can bring Luffy an increase in strength and speed, the side effects are also not small. Not only will it consume excessive physical strength, but it will even consume its own vitality.
"As long as you have meat to eat, you can recover!" Luffy said reluctantly. However, seeing Luffy's current appearance, even if he really put the meat in front of him, it is estimated that Luffy will not have the strength to eat it, because his body can't move at all.
In this battle on Justice Island, there were only two seriously injured patients, Luffy and Usopp. It's just that Usopp himself fought with injuries, and the only injury he received on Justice Island was a fall!
As for the others, although they were also injured, they were all minor skin injuries. Even William, a man who was easily injured, was seriously injured several times, but he quickly recovered because of his physique.
"Isn't that my pet?" Carter French saw two giants riding on their sea beasts in the distance, and found that the Frankie family and Barry had escaped from Justice Island unharmed. Carter French was moved to cry, "It's great that those fools have finally escaped!"
William thought to himself: He is worthy of being a man who claims to be a pervert, he cries when he says he cries, how thick-skinned is this?
"It's the boss, and the Straw Hats' staff!" The Frankie family finds William and Carter French coming in a small boat, but wonders if the others have gone there.
And the transformed Merry only has four positions, it is impossible to hide more than a dozen people, right? No wonder they have these questions in their hearts, after all, they don't know that William's fruit ability is not as simple as a simple animal system.
"You guys get out of here, too! It's great!" Before the Merry could get closer, Carter French was already crying unduly, and if it weren't for the fact that they had just fought side by side, William would have kicked the pervert Carter French into the sea.
"Huh, there's such a huge space in the body?" When William moved everyone else into the castle space, Barry and the others were all frightened by the spacious castle space.
Although the two giants and the two sea beasts were relatively large, they only occupied a small part of the castle space.
Now only William's body is driving the Mini Merry, although William's soul has been transferred to the internal clone, but his body can still sense danger and have a certain ability to act.
"Captain, why don't you have a banquet to celebrate?" Seeing Luffy lying unable to move, and the Straw Hats who were reunited again, William suddenly suggested and said, "It's here!"
"Really?" Although his body couldn't move for the time being, Luffy, who was already able to speak, smiled in front of him and said happily, "Great, I can finally have a banquet here!"
William remembers that the reason Luffy invited him to the ship in the first place was to be able to hold a banquet in the castle space inside him, but William always refused. Seeing Luffy's appearance at this time, William was also a little heartbroken, knowing that he needed to eat some meat to make up for it to better recover.
William also plans to hold a party to celebrate the reunion of the Straw Hats, especially the return of the Golden Merry to the group as a mini-Merry. However, Luffy felt that this banquet was a little regretful that the Sniper King was missing, and Usopp deliberately said that the Sniper King left alone after rescuing Nicole Robin in order to continue to portray the Sniper King's heroic image.
Originally, Usopp still planned to continue to face Luffy as the Sniper King, but was stopped by William. Although Usopp was embarrassed at first, William did it for his own good. Luffy, who has always been nervous, forgave Usopp when he appeared at the Bridge of Hesitation, and the embarrassed Usopp finally apologized to everyone, although the process was a little embarrassing, but the result was a happy one.
"But only this time!" But William had to remind Luffy, otherwise Luffy would continue to make similar requests in the future. Of course, this kind of reminder doesn't mean anything to Luffy at all, as long as Luffy will still make this kind of request to William the next time he wants to have a banquet, but whether William agrees or not is another matter.
"Sanji!" Since there is going to be a banquet, Luffy's first thought is naturally the best chef on his ship, although Luffy can eat anything, but he always thinks that Sanji's cooking skills are the best.
Moreover, as the former sous chef of the East China Sea Restaurant, it is not a problem to prepare food for dozens of people, although there are two people here who are from the Giant Clan.
"Leave the food to me!" Without waiting for Luffy to say anything, Sanji said that he had heard the conversation between Luffy and William, because everything on the Golden Merry was stored by William, so there was no shortage of cooking equipment and tools, only the ingredients were missing. Sanji unceremoniously shouted at Zoron, "Hey, green algae, hurry up and catch me fish!"
"Do you want me to use you as bait?" Zoron, who was worried about the loss of his good sword and snow, heard that Sanji was actually instructing him to work, and Zolong, who was upset, immediately pulled out the word and prepared to cut people.
"If you two dare to do it, believe it or not, I'll throw you out?" Seeing that Zoro and Sanji were actually planning to fight in the castle space, William warned with a gloomy face.
Sure enough, Zoro and Sanji heard William's warning and immediately stopped. Although the two of them had never been afraid of William outside, they knew that this was William's territory, and that William could let them roll out of the castle space at any time if he wanted to.
Zoro didn't care, it was enough to have a place for him to sleep, but he felt humiliated to be thrown out. But Sanji was reluctant, and there were still so many beautiful women waiting for him to be courteous! So they both decided to let each other go for the time being, and teach each other a lesson next time.
"I just caught an octopus!" Carter French dragged in with a giant octopus in his hand, apparently after hearing William say that he was going to have a banquet, and then went outside to catch a giant octopus on his own.
"Oh, you can make takoyaki!" Seeing the fresh octopus that Carter French had just caught from the sea, Sanji thought it would be a good choice to use it for takoyaki.
Sanji also felt that as long as there was meat for Luffy to eat, he could recover more quickly. Of course, with Luffy's current physical situation of serious overdraft, he will have to rest for at least a few days before he can really recover.
"I want a barbecue!"
"I want grilled fish!"
"I want a fish steak!"
When they learned that a banquet was going to be held, everyone was excited. After the battle on Justice Island, all of them were not only physically and mentally exhausted, but also physically exhausted, and their stomachs were naturally hungry. Besides, their purpose this time has been achieved, so naturally they have to celebrate.
It's just that there isn't much food stored in the castle space, and the drinks and beers stored in the refrigerator are still carried by William in the Justice Tower. As for the food, it can only be caught on the spot, but for them it is a small matter.
"Hurry up and catch fish for me!" shouted Sanji, who was holding a kitchen knife and preparing to make takoyaki. There is no banquet without food, and the captain of their family is in need of meat to restore his strength, and he can't do without food.
Although the Frankie family and Barry were injured, they were ruthlessly driven out to capture the ingredients, and Sanji's gentlemen only target women, and he is a violent hooligan to men. Of course, he is also very measured, and he only kicks people out after Chopper bandages them.
The feast went on and on, and it continued after they returned to the City of the Seven Waters.
