"Huh?"

Xia Nuo was still holding a rag to wipe the kitchen knife in his hand, and he was stunned at first when he heard the voice, and then subconsciously looked up at the person who came.

I saw that what appeared in front of me was a yellow-haired old man who looked to be in his fifties, wearing a white cloak fluttering behind him, quite majestic, and the most eye-catching thing was naturally his prosthetic leg made of wood, and his golden beard with two strands of lips and a twisted twist with a water-green bow.

With such a recognizable appearance, Xia Nuo recognized the identity of the comer almost instantly, and under a spirit, he almost couldn't control his mouth.

"Philosopher...... Zhep?! ”

The yellow-haired old man with a lame leg in front of him is none other than the owner of One Piece, the owner of Bharati's restaurant, and the sea thief who raised Sanji - Red-Footed Zhepu!

"Black-haired stinky boy, why are you looking at the old man like this, reluctant to give up the lobster on this table?"

Seeing Xia Nuo stunned in place, Zhepu thought he was hesitating something, waved his hand, and laughed heartily, "Young man, don't be so stingy, food is something that is meant to be shared, how can you refuse guests, right?" ”

As he spoke, Zhepu had already taken out a crayfish from the plate on the table, first put it to his mouth and sucked it, and then his eyes lit up, and he didn't even peel off the shell, so he put it in his mouth and chewed it.

With a crunching sound, the enticing red soup continued to overflow from the corners of Zhepu's mouth, stained with two strangely shaped golden beards, and his face also showed a hint of enjoyment.

While chewing, his mouth also said vaguely: "Well, it's delicious, the stinky boy has good cooking skills, compared to the old guy Ruhr, I don't know where it is, it's the best thing the old man has eaten in the past few months......"

"It turns out that the guy who landed on the island in the morning to find Uncle Ruhr is this old man......"

Xia Nuo finally came back to his senses at this moment, looked at Zhepu who was eating non-stop in front of him, and after the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, he shook his head helplessly and put his mind at ease.

As one of the characters who has a lot of ink in the pirate comics, Zhepu naturally knows something about his character, and since the person who got off the pirate ship is this guy, there is nothing to be wary of.

"Hey, hey, this yellow-haired uncle, I'm not as stingy as you say, but it's rude to eat my stuff without asking for permission in advance, right?"

Seeing that Zhepu ate more and more, and after swallowing the lobsters in his mouth, he took two more in one hand, Xia Nuo rolled his eyes and said angrily.

"Ah, in this way, the old man is a little reckless, but boy, your lobster tastes really good, woolulu......"

Zhepu's old face seemed to turn red for a moment, but as soon as he said the apology, it became indistinct as he shoved the lobster in his right hand into his mouth.

"Whatever you want......"

After complaining weakly, Xia Nuo sighed, didn't rush to ask Zhepu anything, and continued to bow his head and tidy up the messy desktop.

At this time, he felt a little complacent in his heart.

It seems that his cooking skills are indeed good, after all, it is nothing to fascinate Roy Bill, but it is extremely difficult to get a big chef like Zhepu to agree with it.

However, this kind of thing is just a small episode in the end, as the pirate's vague timeline flashed in his mind, Xia Nuo's expression slowly became serious, and he began to seriously think about the information behind Jepden Island, some memories that he hadn't remembered for a long time gradually became clear, and his eyes also showed a touch of thoughtfulness.

According to the calendar information he got from the newspaper before, this year is the year 1511 of the Haiyuan calendar, and if it is connected with the plot of the comics, it seems that this year's Zhepu has just returned from the Great Voyage, and the Chef Pirates he founded were also wiped out in a storm not long after.

Since then, Zhepu has washed his hands, and the East China Sea has lost a famous sea thief, but there is an additional owner who runs a restaurant on the sea.

So......

Xia Nuo recalled the scene he saw in the morning, and his heart moved.

The little boy who was brought over by Zhepu and seemed to be only eight or nine years old, could it be Sanji?

It seems very possible, whether it is the relationship of timing or age, it is a perfect match......

Boom!

At this moment, the door of the wooden house not far away was suddenly opened, and a cheer came from inside, deafening, and intended Xia Nuo's thoughts:

"Haha, it's done!"

"Hurry up, hurry up, otherwise when the lobster is cold, it will be in trouble!"

Footsteps rang out from far and near, and immediately three imps led by Anderson rushed out from behind the door, and after seeing Xia no from afar, he proudly showed his wet hands, and then couldn't wait to cross his position and rush to the table.

"Lobster!"

Saliva trickled down from the mouths of the three little ones, and as soon as they reached the edge of the table, they each grabbed a lobster, and like Zhepu, he didn't have the patience to peel the shell at all, and after sucking it, he stuffed it directly into his mouth.

"I'm moving!"

A feeling of satisfaction rose from the mouth of the meat, and it was not until they finished chewing the lobster in their mouths that the three little boys breathed a sigh of comfort and recovered from the lobsters in their heads.

As a result, when he looked up, Zhepu, who was also holding a lobster and chewing it with relish, met their gaze.

"Huh?"

"Who is this! Why are you eating our lobsters too! ”

"Hey, bastard old man, hurry up and put the lobster down for me!"

After being stunned for a moment, Roy and Bill instantly flushed and rushed forward angrily, waving their small fists to snatch the lobster from Jepp's hand.

However, Zhepu just smiled, and after a few random blocks with a big free hand, he easily confused the two little ghosts, and he couldn't reach Zhepu's body for half a day, so he had to retreat out of breath.

"Damn!"

Roy stomped his foot angrily, forgetting to wipe his snot, and was about to rush up again, but when he just took a step, he was stopped by a small hand stretched out next to him.

It was Anderson who was stunned in place from the moment he saw Jepp and didn't follow him.

"Anderson? What are you doing, don't you see this stinky old man robbing our lobster, hurry up and get this guy away!

Roy was a little puzzled and glared at Anderson and said angrily.

However, Anderson ignored him, turned his head to look at Zhepu, scratched his little head, and said with a puzzled expression:

"Uncle Zhepu, aren't you going to stay at my house for dinner, why did you come to Brother Xia Nuo?"

"Aha, it's you, the Ruhr imp."

Zhepu seemed to have recognized Anderson a long time ago, but he had been busy eating lobster and ignored it, and only then did he put down the lobster with some reluctance, reached out in Anderson's dissatisfied gaze, rubbed the little guy's head vigorously, and laughed:

"Of course, dinner is eaten correctly, although the food cooked by your father is very delicious, but the old friend's face, the old man still has to give it."

As if he didn't see Anderson's darkening face, the corners of Zhepu's mouth curled slightly, and he continued: "As for why the old man is here, first, he was attracted by the fragrance of crayfish, and secondly, it is naturally to complete the old man's mission to Anderick Island this time......"

With a turn of his gaze, he fell on Xia Nuo, who looked confused, he pulled his long beard, and said with a smile:

"It's you, the stinky boy named Xano."
