Chapter 69: Undercurrents
"Look at me!"
In just a blink of an eye, Luffy didn't have time to inflate into a balloon before he faced the whistling cannonball
A flash of bright light flashed
I saw Luffy grabbing the mast with both hands, and the old man whose limbs were pulled was bent his shoulders by the inertia of the cannonball
Luffy's elongated body involuntarily twisted to a strange angle, and after a while, it quickly popped out
Shout!
In full view of everyone, the shells flew straight to Bharati!
Bang!
The explosion came as promised, and Bharati was hit between the two boats, and a large gap was broken in the roof, although for this giant "fish boat", this small injury was not a big problem, but hearing the screams from inside, Nami's little face turned white
"Hey, hey, Luffy!"
"Ahhh
"It's not a mess up, hey!"
...
"Ah~ah~"
For Kirby, he was already familiar with such a familiar scene, and he just looked curiously at the Navy warship that sailed straight by
He tilted his head, and the pink hair slowly fell down the pinna
"Hmm..."
The navy of this world, the force value seems to be so weak?
The man who seemed to be the head of the navy just now, and Kirby didn't feel the slightest threat in him
"Is it a delusion..."
"Let's go!"
Looking at the navy like that, it seems that it doesn't want to make trouble here, so it doesn't move after firing a shot
Seeing that the cannon was easily bounced out, they withdrew their hands, and it seemed that they had no intention of fighting to the death
After all, everyone comes here for one common purpose, and that is to eat!
As for the duties of the Navy? Sorry, that's just in passing
Jingle ~ Jingle ~
The bell hanging on the turnstile rings softly, indicating that another guest has arrived!
A pink-haired man pushed the door open, his eyes full of confidence, and looked up and down at this famous restaurant on the sea
"Well, that's good"
The dining room, as seen from the outside, is a two-storey structure, with a spiral escalator leading to the second floor and a kitchen connected to the lobby by a long hallway
In the luxuriously and elegantly furnished hall, there is not a trace of kitchen smoke, but it is full of elegant faint incense, and the special spices are burned into gas, which seems to arouse a rather strong appetite
Most of the gentlemen and ladies sat in pairs, facing each other, all with happy faces
[Does this shop look good?]
"Wow, isn't that Captain Hopodi!"
"Please~" The man leaned over and pulled out the chair for his female companion, turning a deaf ear to the praise on the side, and making a humble gentleman
"yes, yes, it's Hopodi!"
"Captain!"
The people eating around couldn't help but look sideways, and Hobodi's name seemed to be quite famous in this part of the sea
And a naval captain can always attract the attention of civilians
"Wow, he's so handsome!"
"What a gentleman!"
is more of an ignorant girl, and the scar on the man's face is not only okay, but adds a lot of color to him
"Look, everyone is complimenting you, you're awesome~"
On the small square table between the two, the woman held her arm on her cheek, looking at the man in front of her, with a confused look in her eyes
The slender hand lightly hooked the glass, and the lady leaned forward and gently raised the red wine glass in her hand
"Everywhere, you are attracted to your beauty. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The captain smiled lightly and raised his glass
Bite~
"Wow, it's delicious!"
"This... This tastes!"
The captain looked very surprised, ignoring the waiter who was continuing to add wine on the side, and praised again and again
"This scent is the 'scent of the earth' from Milk, the land of the North!"
"Yes... It must be!"
"Slightly sweet and sour, with a little mellow and light spicy, this red wine... This red wine..."
The man's right hand was held high, and the iron fist that was unnaturally inlaid seemed to have merged with the man's right hand
People looked at the man in amazement, anticipating his next words
"Etrus Brugastein!"
"That's right, waiter!"
The man held the wine glass high, his eyes were full of yearning colors, and the liquid in the transparent wine glass swayed for a while, flashing small ripples
"Ding~Ding~Ding~" The blond-haired man first lightly tapped his goblet three times, then showed a sly smile, and slapped the refrigerated red wine bottle in his hand on the table
Boom!
"No, it's not. ”
"This guest..."
The bottle was slammed on the table, and despite the captain's jerky gaze, the man grabbed his hand violently
"Huh?"
Only then did people look at the waiter in front of the man
Blonde hair curls eyebrows, traditional suits are respectfully put on the man's body, revealing a small section of white shirt, and the man has a crumpled delicate cigarette in his mouth, which can't help but burst into flames
"This guest..."
Just when everyone thought that the two were going to quarrel, the waiter took out a clean soup spoon out of nowhere, stuffed it into the captain's hand, and helped him close his fingers
"The soup is going to be cold, so please drink it while it's hot. ”
“......”
Ignoring the anger in the man's eyes, the blonde man turned and walked away
As if remembering something, the man stopped again as he reached the door of the aisle
He tilted his head slightly and smiled evilly
"By the way, I'm head chef Sanji. ”
"The waiters ran out yesterday. ”
With that, the blonde man walked straight to the kitchen
As he said, all the waiters were out yesterday, and the kitchen is now short of people
"Hee-hee-hee..."
"This guy is so funny"
The woman laughed so hard that her chest was about to tremble, and it was no wonder that the first time she saw the captain deflated in front of other men, even as his female companion, she couldn't help but cover her lips
With the woman's movements, the earrings on the earlobes also trembled, and even the crystal beads of sweat fell on the mirror-like floor, splashing a small splash
"But this soup is really good, let's drink it?"
“......”
The man's face was gloomy, and he didn't answer, but stared at the soup plate, not knowing what he was thinking
[Damn!]
[Don't laugh, don't laugh!]
Facing the soup plate, the man's attention was all on the side, and his eyes were almost slanted out of his sockets
"Poof... Poofhaha..."The young girls on the side couldn't hold back, laughing so much that their bodies trembled
"Don't laugh," the girl's boyfriend quipped, patting the girl on the shoulder, but the girl laughed even more
"Who told him to have a confident expression just now, haha..."
...
"Haha, this guy is overdressing..."
"It's funny..."
"Is she really a captain in the Navy, hee-hee"
...
Laughter ensued, and people were discussing the man's pompous performance just now, and his shoulders shook
The woman opposite showed a puzzled expression, glanced at the captain lightly, and asked
"Do you know that, red wine?"
Like the final verdict, only the face remained, and with the opening of the female companion's mouth, it disappeared in an instant
The man drank a small spoonful of soup and took out a tissue to wipe the sweat stains on his forehead, but his hands trembled even more
"It's okay, maybe my tongue is a little dull today..."
"Haha, I said..."
The woman smiled indifferently, took a sip of red wine, stretched her body slightly, and folded her slender legs
The red heels were forced to and "snap" against the soles of the woman's feet
The scarlet liquid swirled under the tongue, and mischievous drops of wine flowed down the woman's noble gooseneck
Boom~
"Hmph~"
The woman swallowed the red wine in her mouth and let out a comfortable snort, and the pointed end of her heels clicked on the pillar in the center of the table, "dinging".
Ignoring the man who was already embarrassed and messed up on the other side, the woman turned her head and looked out the window calmly, looking at it, she was stunned all of a sudden, and she didn't know what she was thinking
[What's going on!!]
Compared to the indifference of women, the expressions on men's faces are simply terrible
The man just drank the soup one by one, and his right hand with iron skin trembled uncontrollably
[I obviously told my boss in advance that I wanted to serve the red wine I just mentioned!]
The man buried his head and shifted his gaze to the blonde man who was going back and forth between the guest tables
[Yes! must be the waiter's troublemaker!]
...
Look to the other side
Luffy's party, who also boarded Bharati, found a table next to it and sat down, Usopp's eyes dodging, and Nami gritting her teeth at the man over there
"Wait..."
Kirby saw that the fire in the woman's eyes was about to erupt, and his little hand was horizontal
"At least I'll have to wait for Luffy to explain to others, and then it's not too late?"
"Hmph!" Sauron slashed his knife and leaned back in his chair, closing his eyes and recuperating
Whether as a pirate or not, he doesn't have a good impression of the Navy, and in other words, no matter what the situation, he supports Luffy's decision
"I'll come when I go!"
"Wait for me for a while!"
Luffy grinned and straightened his straw hat and walked towards the place where he had been hit by the artillery earlier
On the nameplate of that room, it is clearly written "Captain's Room"
