Chapter 99: The Truth (1)

Looking at Long Yan and Cesar's appearance, Nami spread her hands: "Men, it's all like this." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

In a short time, one after another delicacies were served at the judges' table, making people swallow continuously.

"Boomering" prawns, sea fish with full color and flavor, and barbecued meat with a strange fragrance......

These are all straight eyes.

The judges squinted their eyes, one by one, as if they were peerless, holding chopsticks and gently twisting the food on the plate and gently placing it in their mouths.

When everyone eats different dishes, they either nod slightly, smile without saying a word, or shake their heads slightly.

These judges are the group of people who are called gourmets.

Below, there is a sea of people, shoulder to shoulder, and the road is almost blocked by water.

In about half an hour, these foodies have rated one after another.

The winner was a big fat man, and the second place was the beautiful little cook girl that Cesar and Long Yan noticed just now.

The big fat man who won the top jumped three feet high in excitement, and almost didn't collapse the countertop when he landed.

And the little cook lady was depressed, and there seemed to be some fear in her eyes...

In the end, when the judges and the cooks gradually dispersed, the civilians watching the competition below rushed towards the leftover food of the competition as if they were crazy, and for a while, trampled on each other and looted wildly.

Some civilians rushed to the plate, and were dragged down by the next person, and when this person rushed to the front, the food was snatched away by others, and when someone finally grabbed the food, they were beaten by a group of people, and some even vomited all the food they had just eaten.

This scene made Long Yan and his group stunned.

What was even more stunned was that Long Yan was in the distance of the noisy crowd and saw the cook just now, after being slapped by someone, and got into a luxurious carriage.

At this time, a group of soldiers armed with spears and swords rushed out and scattered the civilians.

The five-year-old girl they saw just now was licking a plate, and a soldier put a knife on the little girl's neck.

Her brother stood in front of the little girl, "Little sister, go quickly!" ”

The soldier waved his knife mercilessly: "You weak ants don't deserve to eat at all!" ”

Slash with a knife!

Touch!

The soldier's mountain of knives was stained with red blood...

Still, it's his own.

Long Yan had already flown out with lightning speed, and a punch was wedged in the soldier's face, and the soldier spat out old blood and splashed on his knife, and fell to the ground, no longer making a sound.

"Livestock, face children don't let go." Long Yan clenched his fists and said hatefully.

"Big brother!" When the little girl saw Long Yan, her eyes sparkled.

Nami ran over, "It's so dangerous here, let's take these two little ones first." ”

Long Yan: "Okay. ”

In this way, driven by the soldiers, the people gradually dispersed, and a middle-aged woman in her fifties called Long Yan and her group to her home.

The woman's name was Ley, and when she saw Long Yan sacrifice herself to save the little girl, she had a good impression of this group of people.

Ley lived alone, and there was always a gentle and kind smile on her skinny face.

"Thank you for having us at your home."

Nami: "Speaking of which, we encountered a lot of strange things when we came to this country. First of all, the price of food is so high. Then when there is a food contest, people will actually compete for food. ”

Usopp: "yes, and a lot of the people on this island are very thin. ”

Cesar: "It's an island known for its food, but everyone seems to have enough to eat. ”

Ley sighed: "It's really like this, we just don't have enough to eat every day..."

What the?!

When Long Yan and the others heard this, they all looked shocked.

Long Yan: "Auntie, this... Why? ”

Next, the aunt told Long Yan and the gang the reason.

The reason why it is called the food island is because it is blessed with abundant water and soil, and the taste of the plants and animals that grow from it is first-class. According to geographers, it is located in a special area between the great sea route and the windless zone, and it is because of this special geographical location that the food here is delicious. The inhabitants of this area live happily ever after.

However, it wasn't until five years ago that a man named Gerrit came to the island with some people.

In the beginning, this man was very kind to people, and he would buy some food to give to the poor people, and everyone respected him very much, and they all respectfully called him sir. But later, the man gradually revealed his hideous face.

With the popularity and prestige accumulated before, Gretel recruited some ill-intentioned heroes and nobles on the island, and gradually expanded his power, and gradually, with his connections and power, he was recruited into the palace by King Iter as the captain of the guard.

Less than a month after Gretel became the captain of the guard, a coup d'Γ©tat took place in the palace, and King Iter died suddenly, because he had no heirs, so he summoned the captain of the garrison, Gretel, as king.

Even fools should be able to see the cause and effect of this, right?

The death of King Itter was fundamentally the work of Gretel, who committed rebellion, murdered kings and usurped rebellions, and some of the king's old ministries rebelled, but they were quickly suppressed by Gretel.

And after that, Grett ascended to the throne and did even more excessively.

He ordered that the rice and noodles in the country of [Food Island] will rise to 5,000 baileys per kilogram, and the prices of fish, meat and shrimp will be even more jaw-dropping.

Not only that, but Grett also gathered the country's elite chefs, not wanting the delicious food to flow to outsiders.

Some of the most virtuous and skilled chefs were executed by Gerrit without exception because they were unwilling to join the royal restaurant!

This is tantamount to Gretel's monopoly on all the food in this country.

Because the price of food is too high, many residents can hardly eat enough, so many people are yellow and thin.

This would explain why people were rushing to grab the leftover food from the [Food Competition], because everyone was so hungry.

Cesar: "Then why don't you rebel against the tyrant or run out of the island?" ”

"Rebellion? Hmph," Leivvi smiled, "You don't know the strength of this guy, the previous several uprisings were all defeated by him without exception, and it was the kind of victory that was crushed without any pressure. ”

Utanka: "Is he very good at commanding troops?" ”

Ley: "No, he's strong on his own. ”

Well?

Ley: "He's a ........ Powerful Devil Fruit Abilities ......."
