Chapter 193: Zhepu whose ambition is extinguished

When Charles found Zhepu in the kitchen, Zhepu was severely reprimanding Sanji, and when he saw a anxious Charles, he stopped.

"What's wrong?"

After all, Charles is also a former pirate who has been to the Great Voyage, and his psychological quality is not too bad, and his appearance inevitably makes Zhepu feel strange questions.

After glancing at Sanji, Challes said to Zhepu in a deep voice, "Captain, it's someone from the Morgan Pirates who are here. ”

Sanji on the side looked at the two of them with a curious expression, this group of people has always seemed to be not afraid of heaven and earth in his memory, and there has never been a time like now, when he only heard a name, his face was full of solemnity.

"After all, I found it...... "Then Stolt is here?"

"I have come to you before I saw them on board," said Charles, frowning, "but with his mind, he knew that we had come back from the Great Voyage and dared to come to the door, and he must have led the party himself." ”

"You go and call the old fellow," Jep wiped the grease from his hands with his apron, then took off the apron and threw it directly in the face of Sanji next to him, and said to Charmers, "I'll go meet them first." ”

……

On the other side, the Morgan Pirates' warship had stopped next to the sea restaurant Bharati, and William took the lead and led a group of cadres to disembark in turn.

William came this time, .1, and even most of his cadres and good hands were with him, because he didn't know if Zhepu would have any opportunities in the Great Voyage.

William was in front of the restaurant, looked up at the sign, smiled with interest, and then walked in, the restaurant, which was still a little noisy, became silent after the group entered.

At the table where Charles was served before, the female customer looked at it for a while, glanced at William and Danbiel behind him, and muttered, "Very handsome ...... indeed." ”

"What did you say?" asked her male companion.

"It's nothing, except that their leader is indeed the same as the troubadour said, not at all vicious, but also very temperamental. The female customer said.

When Jepp walked out of the kitchen, William was already seated, although Jep had broken a leg, his movement was not hindered in the slightest, and he stepped on the wooden prosthetic leg, and stepped on the drum like a drum, and walked towards William, who was sitting at the table in the middle of the dining room.

Out of vigilance, Jep had been secretly observing his surroundings as he walked, and he first looked at the gate, where a slender man with thick lips and long fluffy hair was lazily leaning against the door frame.

The first thing that Jepp noticed was the thick-lipped man's waist, where two shiny silver revolvers were inserted, and what was more noteworthy was that the holster had been unlocked.

This man was none other than William's sharpshooter Jesus, who was the number one marksman, and he also had a slender bolt rifle on his thigh, which was a position with a wide line of sight, and with the level of Jesus' shooting, anyone who appeared in the hall could not avoid his muzzle.

A baby-faced, calloused young man with a knife at his waist stood in the direction of the kitchen, and the young man spotted him as soon as Zhepu walked out of the kitchen, and grinned at him, revealing two small tiger teeth.

Zhepu looked in the direction of the back door again, where there were also a few men who were difficult to deal with at first glance.

Zhepu gritted his teeth and walked to William's table, at this time William was wearing a gray high-necked trench coat, and his blonde hair was neatly combed to the back of his head, which was far from Zhepu's memory, when he was still a rookie captain, he glanced at William's waist, where there was a white scabbard, which looked unpretentious and unpretentious.

Danbil, who was also sitting at the table, also carried swords, and this group guarded the entrances and exits as soon as they came, and carried guns and swords, so that even if Zhepu was not an old pirate with many years of experience in life and death, he could know that they were not simply customers who came to eat.

William was also observing Zhepu, his gaze stayed on the prosthesis of Zhepu's right foot for two seconds, and then looked at Zhepu's physique, although he had only been in seclusion as a chef for less than a year, but Zhepu's figure had changed, and he was no longer as toned as William remembered back then, William was keenly aware that Zhepu actually had a slight belly, which made William frown slightly.

From this point of view, Zhepu's retreat is probably not fake, the broken leg is actually not the most deadly for a master of Zhepu's level, and the extinguished ambition is the key.

"Your pomp is getting bigger, Stolt," Jepp came to William's desk and pulled out a chair and sat down, "but I heard your name is William now?"

William didn't care about Zhepu's tone, and said with a smile: "Why didn't you tell your old friend about the Great Voyage when you returned from the Great Voyage?"

William gestured and looked at the layout of the restaurant: "If you want to open a restaurant, I can also help." ”

"I've heard that you're a big man now, the uncrowned king of the kingdom of Navia," Jep snorted, "but I'm not an old friend with you, and I'm just a cook now, and I don't want anything to do with you anymore, and the treasure I brought back from the Great Voyage is enough to warrant me to open this restaurant." ”

In his heart, Zhepu actually doesn't want to have anything to do with William, William has a lot of tricks in his impression, and he is easy-going on the surface, but he acts domineering, he doesn't want to be a pirate anymore, he just wants to be a chef, and he really doesn't want to be involved with William because of anything, and be calculated by William, especially after he heard that William's power in the East China Sea is getting bigger and bigger in the past year.

While the two were talking, Zhepu's original pirate subordinates, and now the management of this restaurant, all came to the restaurant and stood behind Zhepu, all of these people without exception were disabled, some had no arms, and some had no calves.

William glanced at the crowd and asked strangely, "What did you encounter on the Great Voyage, and why were there so many fewer people than at the beginning, and they were all so badly injured?"

When Zhepu heard this, he glanced back at his subordinates with some feeling: "It is not easy to sail on the great route, in addition to fighting with all kinds of fierce characters, but also to fight with the unpredictable weather there, many of my companions have stayed in that sea forever, and the rest, after the death of my navigators, I decided to take them back to the East China Sea, so that even if they die, at least they will die in the waters of their homeland." ”

"And their hands and feet?" asked William, frowning.

Zhepu turned his head, put away his sentimentality, and said with a numb face: "After we finally passed through the windless belt, the ship was seriously damaged, and we wanted to rob a passenger ship to transfer, but we encountered a storm, and we were a group of pirates and some passengers were stranded on an isolated island without food. ”

"After a month of fasting, some people died, and there were some hungry people who wanted to eat the old man and the children," said Jepp, as Charles hung his head unnaturally, "and then one of the men cut off his own leg and let them eat it, and after that, all the living adults did the same, and we all lasted until the end, and waited for the ship to come to the rescue." ”

Zhepu exhaled, and just a few words seemed to consume most of his energy: "Do you know now? I don't know if you are satisfied with this answer, and if you are satisfied, should you tell me what is the purpose of your coming here?"

William didn't answer Jep's question, but looked sideways at Jep's feet at the bottom of the table: "The one who took the initiative to cut off his own leg, is that you?"

Zhepu was expressionless, neither admitting nor denying it.

"'Redfoot' Jepp," William sighed sincerely, "is it worth it?"

"It's not worth it, after going through so much, neither my crew nor I want to be pirates anymore, as long as a pair of hands that can cook still exists, it is enough for me," Zhepu said in a deep voice, "What's more, I am a chef and a captain, and I don't want my subordinates to become a group of monsters with only beastly nature, of course I have to find a way to fill their stomachs." ”

The group of subordinates behind Zhepu had complicated expressions, but no one spoke.

There was silence for a while before William asked, "Honestly, I'm here for the logbook on your ship." ”

"I guess that's the case," Zhepu sneered, "Apart from the logbook that records what we've seen and heard during the year we've been on the Great Voyage, what else is there in the hands of us fallen former pirates that you can look up to in the East China Sea?"

"Do you still have the logbook?" asked William.

"Yes," Zhep nodded, but then asked rhetorically, "but this is a memory that I share with my friends, why should I give it to you?"

"I'll have someone copy of it, and I won't take your original journal," William said, glancing at Jesus Bu, who was leaning against the door, and then waved his hand to the other men outside, "In addition, I can inject 100 million Baileys into your restaurant to help you expand your business." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, several pirates from the Morgan Pirates ran in from the outside with suitcases, and then put the boxes on the table and opened them, revealing bundles of large denominations of Bailey inside.

"Injection?" Zhepu didn't even look at the money on the table, pouted and deliberately glanced at Danbier, who was sitting at the same table, "I don't want my own restaurant, and like Danbier's weapons company, even the restaurant and me will become a puppet in your hands." ”

William saw that Jepp was not impressed with his conditions, nor was he angry, and Danbier, who was on the side, sneered, picked up a sealed metal can more than a foot long from his feet and gently placed it on the table.

The body of the metal can is emblazoned with a skull, .1.

Zhepu looked at William with some puzzlement, and William leaned over with a smile and said something in Jep's ear.

"You madman!" said Jepp, who looked at William in shock.

William had already sat back in his chair, and said with a smile when he heard this: "This thing, the world government and the navy are also developing, and the lethality and destructiveness are definitely above us, they can study it, why can't our member countries study it?"

"Captain Jep, after hearing your deeds, I don't want to embarrass you, I personally have more respect for your behavior, but I am also responsible for my subordinates, so the logbook, I must get it anyway," William restrained his smile, "Otherwise, why do you think I came here this time, why did I take a pirate ship?"

Zhepu's face also turned cold: "You mean, I don't agree, you're going to rob it?"

The atmosphere in the arena suddenly became tense, and Zhepu's subordinates slowly dispersed, gradually surrounding the table.

On William's side, Jesus Cloth, who was originally lazily leaning against the door, also stood up straight, his hands hanging to his sides, and this time Alamis, Edmund, Selkirk, Harden, Diego and others who came with William also put their hands on the weapon with a cold face.

The customers who were originally watching the excitement saw that the two groups of people seemed to be fighting, so they hurriedly moved away from them and retreated to the corner of the restaurant, they did not dare to flee, because the entrance and exit of the sea restaurant Bharati had been controlled by William's subordinates at this time.

William didn't seem nervous at all, and he and Danbier each slowly took out a pair of gas masks from their arms and put them on, which made Jepp's cheeks tremble involuntarily.

When he was hesitating, a little boy with blond hair who looked to be only twelve years old in a chef's uniform suddenly ran from the direction of the kitchen, he clutched a kitchen knife in his hand, and when he came to Zhepu's side, he asked nervously, "Stinky old man, what are they going to do?

When Challes saw the little boy suddenly appear, he also looked a little nervous: "Sanji, what are you doing?

"No! I'm going to defend this restaurant too!" Sanji said loudly.

Hearing this, Zhepu took a deep look at Sanji, and said to William, who had always seemed indifferent, "I can lend you the logbook to transcribe." ”

"Captain!" Clerus and the others looked at Jepp in surprise, as if it was hard to imagine that his always tough captain would give in.

"Logbooks are dead after all, and I don't want to kill my companions who are still alive because of the memories of the past," Jepp stared into William's eyes, "Besides, you just copied it, right?"

William smiled, but he was wearing a gas mask, and Jepp couldn't see it: "Of course, all I want is the content above." ”

"Challus, go to my room and fetch the logbook. Zhepu ordered without looking back.

Challus did not move, and it was not until Jepp gave the order again that he left the hall unwillingly.

Jep's men, though ugly, stood behind him at the behest of his own captain, and William and Danbiel took off their masks.

"I've agreed to lend you the logbook," Jepp glanced at the metal canister on the table with disgust, "You can take this thing away." ”

When William heard this, he asked someone to temporarily take the poison gas back to the ship, and at this time, Charles had already taken the logbook and handed it to Jepp first, and Jepp touched the cover of the log nostalgically, and then carefully handed it to William.

William himself has been both a navigator and a captain, and is very familiar with the logbook, so he took it and flipped through it, and asked: "I don't know if Captain Zhepu has been to the capital of the seven waters, and have you ever seen a sea train?"

"We haven't been to the Seven Rivers, but we've seen the sea train in Potky, the capital of food. Zhepu recalled.

William's gaze took off the logbook and asked with interest, "How's it going?"
