Volume 2 Let's Assemble! Dream chaser! Chapter Ninety-Three: Recovery and Rescue
A short time later, the appetizer was served, a classic Italian pastry, a small piece of Italian bread, a clove of garlic, and diced aged tomatoes, on which the small pieces of bread were sprinkled with rose sea salt, black pepper and lush green olive oil, and the smell of white wine vinegar.
Luffy gently picked up a piece and put it whole in his mouth.
His eyes lit up: "Hmm! Sour and salty, you'll be hungry after eating! After that, he looked at Sauron, who closed his eyes and recuperated, and saw that he had no desire to eat, so he hurriedly stole his piece and ate it in one bite, praising and praising while eating.
This restaurant doesn't have that many Western-style set menus, and after the hors d'oeuvres, Luffy's meat and pizza are served.
Two palm-to-thumb-thick plates of grilled meat, seared with lattice-like scorch, are surrounded by mashed potatoes dotted on the rim of the plate and highly Italian-style pickles, including pickled olives, fresh bamboo shoots, mushrooms, and a chickspout pot with sauce.
There is a difference between Italian pickles and Chinese pickles, Italian pickles prefer to be pickled and soaked in white wine vinegar and olive oil, and the taste is not heavy salt or spicy, but the mild sour taste can be eaten alone or as a side dish.
The pizza is topped with cheese and red sausage slices, and there are some diced shiitake mushrooms and diced tomatoes in between, all of which are charred and thick.
The huge fragrance rushed into the noses of the two, and it was a strong Italian style! It's as if you're sitting in a star-studded shop on the streets of Venice.
Luffy couldn't wait to pick up a slice of pizza and fold it and eat half of it in one bite.
"Hmm!!" His eyes lit up and he let out a sigh of satisfaction.
Then another bite, eat the remaining half, quickly pick up another slice, and directly insert the barbecue steak with his left hand, and eat a bite of pizza and a bite of meat.
"Tsk......" Zoro couldn't bear to be disturbed, so he simply opened his eyes and took out the Tengu Jade from the scabbard to check for damage.
"Hey, Zoro, aren't you going to eat?" Luffy asked, dividing the pizza and meat from his hands by two.
"Restore your soul power, I'm not in the mood!" Zoro was reviewing the battle just now, he had just been killed in seconds, and he was in the mood to eat after losing his love knife.
"But this thing can restore soul power after eating." Luffy said.
"What?!" Sauron was startled, his eyes widened: "Are you sure?" ”
"You'll know when you eat, waiter! Another barbecue! Luffy pointed to the barbecue in front of him, which would finally have a conscience, and instead of grabbing it and eating it, he asked the waiter to serve it again.
Zoro hurriedly put the knife back into its sheath, picked up the knife and fork, cut it off, and put it in his mouth......
"Poof!" The inside of the charred steak was extremely tender, and the plump juice overflowed from his teeth and instantly filled Zoro's mouth.
He didn't even have time to chew a few more bites, so he naturally swallowed it incomparably, and the moment he swallowed it, a pure soul power that came out of thin air rose from his stomach, and after a few turns of his physical strength, he was eaten by Rakshasa and Ryoma.
Sauron's eyes lit up, and he didn't pretend to be Sven, he directly inserted the meat steak and ate it.
Motioned to the waiter for him to add another as well.
Twenty minutes later, the two were surrounded by plates, while the waiter in the restaurant was still mechanically serving the meat.
Zoro ate the last piece of pizza, and by this time the wounds in his chest had healed.
Luffy began to eat the fruit salad slowly, the fruits here were all varieties he had never eaten, and the taste was rich and refreshing, and it was extremely greasy.
"Well eaten! Let's go! You also have to go to the subway station with Takeda! Luffy patted his stomach and stood up, with Zoro regaining his spirits on his side.
"It's amazing...... Zoro looked shocked and recalled, the food in this hall can actually recover soul power and injuries after eating!
"Hello, Sheng Hui 1,000,000$." At this time, the waiter came over with a stack of bills and said to the two of them.
“???” The two are confused, and they still have to pay for eating in the palace?
"Well, we don't have the money......" Luffy glanced at the door and window of the restaurant, and it seemed that he was ready to eat the overlord meal.
"Oh?" The waiter was a little surprised, and when Luffy was about to run away, he said again: "It's okay, pay on credit first, you can go hunting for ingredients and go to the lower food market to exchange money." ”
"Ingredients?"
"It's Mary. The beasts of the primeval forest outside Krell's restaurant. The waiter led the two men to the door and pointed to the vast circle of primeval forest outside.
He pointed to the vines buried somewhere in the lower layer of the sea of trees, "Then take them there, and naturally there will be staff to settle the payment for you, and then you can come and pay the bill." ”
"Oh, that's it!" Luffy nodded and agreed, "Okay, then you wait!" ”
"Don't worry, I hope you can be careful and don't rush, we don't want to be given a bad debt." The waiter couldn't see the eyes clearly, and there was an indifferent smile on his face.
Then he turned around, pointed to the huge vine, and said, "However, if you don't pay off your debts within a week, we'll report it to Lord Linda, and then not only the whole of Mary. None of Krell's restaurants will host you anymore, and Lord Linda will send out guards to capture you. ”
Finally, Luffy and Zoro nodded solemnly, it doesn't matter if they are arrested or not, if the restaurant on this vine does not accept them, it will be a big regret in life!
So the two said goodbye to the waiter, remembered the name of the restaurant, and walked under the vines.
Jumping downwards as fast as they could, they saw a huge opening under the vines.
Through the opening, the hall's own shadow creatures are transporting and handling a myriad of strange ingredients, such as a long-bladed boar, a two-headed bull, and a goat with octopus tentacles.......
The shadow creatures here are different from the soldiers in the temple of Aaron, but a chef dressed in snow white and wearing a top hat.
The two of them cautiously went up, and the shadow creatures were all focused on their own business, ignoring them.
Zoro breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that this temple had not yet become hostile to them, and Luffy stepped forward with a big grin to ask about the rules of hunting for "money".
A chef shadow was cutting huge ingredients, only to see his narrow kitchen knife volleying in the air, a few seconds later, a 10-meter-tall tentacle goat dismembered under his kitchen knife, the inner meridians, internal organs, meat, bones, clearly, it is the magic knife technique like a cow!
Sauron's pupils shrank, and the fighting spirit in his heart rose again, but considering their current situation, he still forcibly suppressed the restlessness in his heart.
Luffy walked over and asked how to exchange the ingredients for money, then pulled Zoro and walked out.
"The wild boar we killed in the afternoon, one can be exchanged for 2 million, hehe, just kill two can be exchanged for a lot of money." Luffy smiled happily, which not only meant that the existing risks could be addressed, but he could also continue to eat and drink.
"Very good." Zoro nodded, "Then let's go, come back tomorrow during the day, let's go out today, Takeda and they may already be waiting for us." ”
Sanji and Usopp were unconscious when they woke up, unaware of the situation.
Luffy thought about it, but decided not to talk about the ominous premonition in his heart, and returned to the sea of trees with Zoro, it was pitch black below, Wu Sheng was not around, and it was impossible to hunt today.
......
As soon as I got up to the sea of trees, it was in the middle of the night that I went to the toilet and startled the thief - it just so happened.
In the distance, the unicorn is slowly stepping on the ice in mid-air! Through the brilliant lights of the buildings around the vines, you can also see two ice crystals floating beside the unicorn.
The two of them were startled, and hurriedly slipped into the leaves, secretly looking, not daring to show a trace of breath.
The unicorn came from far to near, with light steps, and seemed to be extremely happy.
The two stared at each other, only to find that the two ice crystals were actually Sanji and Usopp, Luffy was taken aback and was about to speak.
Suddenly! Zoro grabbed his arm and shook it, gesturing at Kirin's back.
Luffy looked over and saw that Wu Sheng was wrapped in a solid package, hanging in the air.
Luffy panicked, and was about to rush over, but then he was caught by Zoro, and in a moment, there was already a commotion!
However, they are still far away from the unicorn, and this is also under the vines, and countless ingredients are being transported back and forth under the forest, so it is not surprising that there is movement.
The two were not discovered by the Kirin.
Zoro shook his head at Luffy, signaled him to calm down, and whispered, "Let's follow first, and call Nami tomorrow to find a chance to rescue them." ”
Luffy hesitated, and finally gritted his teeth and nodded unwillingly, which was considered to be an agreement.
The two of them hung the unicorn from a distance all the way, after all, he was walking in the air, and he didn't worry about losing it at all.
The Kirin did not walk into the range of the vines, but bypassed it far away, and then slowly fell into the forest sea on one side, and Luffy and Zoro hurriedly followed.
The two of them dived down and found that there was a little light in the dark forest sea!
When I got closer, I saw that this forest was full of broken stone platforms, which were almost the same as those on the vines!
The dilapidated stone terrace still houses huge restaurant buildings of various styles.
But most of them are in an abandoned state, and the Kirin slowly enters a brightly lit restaurant building, and does not come out again.
Zoro and Luffy continued to wait for 1 hour, and when they saw that the Kirin still didn't come out, they marked it on the Sins Realm APP, looked around, and marked several nearby buildings, turned around and dodged towards the vines.
Luffy and Zoro found the realistic area corresponding to the safe zone at the bottom of the giant vine, observed to make sure that there was no one, and then exited the temple.
Before the two of them could calm down, they saw a series of missed calls on their respective mobile phones, all of which were from Nami.
It was already 9 p.m., four hours more than the time they had agreed.
They marked the exit and hurriedly ran to the back of the office building to pick up the guitar case that had been thrown in the corner.
Walking towards the subway station, he replied to Nami on the phone.
Tokyo is a megalopolis with a dense urban form that concentrates traffic within the city, and the city's railway system is as complex as the lines on a cantaloupe.
On such a complex route, as long as you master the skills of transfer, then taking the railway may even be faster than taking a taxi.
After a short time, the two of them came out of the Jimbocho subway station and walked towards Nami and Takekatsu's apartment building.
The specific situation was not clear on the phone, although Nami was anxious, but she said to her sister "by the way to go downstairs to buy something", and said goodbye to the two assistant sisters with a smile, and was already waiting for them downstairs at this time.
Nami kept calling Takekatsu's phone as she walked back and forth, hoping that she could get through suddenly.
But until Luffy and Zoro appear on the streets, it still says, "The number you dialed is not in the service area." ”
"What the hell is going on?" She didn't wait for the two of them to come to her, walked quickly to meet them, and asked with a slap on her face.
"This time I was unlucky, I encountered a terrifying monster in the hall......" Luffy touched his hair, his straw hat was still in Wusheng's backpack, he was used to wearing a straw hat, and he would be in a state of exhaustion.
"Bad luck? Why don't you talk about going to investigate? Can't the three of you escape together? Nami knew the peak combat power of the three of them, and she asked three questions in a row, and her tone was so serious that Luffy's head shrank.
"It's really strong, after I merge with Rakshasa and I can't stop two rounds!" Zoro said solemnly on the side, and as he spoke, he took out the only small piece of Sanskrit Dache left in his guitar bag.
The two didn't blame Sanji and Usopp, as long as they continued to explore, sooner or later they would run into Kirin.
It's just that I'm too weak, and I blame the reason on ordinary people, and their strength is not so small.
Nami pulled out the remnant knife and looked at the tooth marks on it, her pupils shrank, and her eyes instantly turned red.
She knows the toughness of these two knives, and the 500,000 yen jade steel precision forging real guy has not seen any damage in the successive battles after buying it back, and this battle was directly broken, which shows that the battle was tragic at that time.
Luffy saw that she seemed to be crying, and hurriedly comforted: "Takeda is not dead yet, he and Sanji and Usopp were just caught by that monster." ”
Nami was stunned for a moment, and the tears that were about to fall instantly returned: "Sanji and Usopp? What do you mean? ”
Zoro sighed and briefly talked about the situation of Shimoyamaji and Usopp's incursions, if it weren't for the two of them, they would still be able to run, but it was just that Takekatsu and Luffy took turns to lead people to run.
"It's really better to be a human being, before you went in, I asked Takeda to take care of you, but I didn't expect ......" Nami finally understood why Takekatsu was caught, and she was holding the hilt of the knife so tightly that the knuckles of her fingers were slightly white.
Then she looked at the two of them with a clear look in her eyes, and said loudly: "Takeda was just arrested, we will rescue him tomorrow!" It's like telling the two of them not to give up, but also to remind themselves not to be discouraged.
"Oh!" Luffy shouted in a deep voice.
"Hmm." Zoro also nodded coldly, and decided in his heart that he would practice the knife to the maximum extent while ensuring his energy tonight, and he would not do his homework first, with the blessing of the [Children of the Night] talent, no matter how small the progress was, he could not give it up.
Nami drops the two off at the subway station, buys something at the convenience store in a distraught mood, and goes home.
That night, Nami finished the original drawing for the next day.
I communicated with the assistants and sisters about the work arrangement, asked them to come to the house to fill in the background according to her labels, and asked her sister club to ask for leave to help entertain her.
The three of them arranged their own affairs, and prepared to enter the palace again the next day to fish out Wu Sheng and them.
