48. Stubbornness

"Hurry up and serve!"

Sharky urged, just moving again, making his empty stomach protest more often, hungry and wanting to binge.

Sanji was a little at a loss, stunned in place and did not move, after getting along for such a long time, he knew the old man Zhepu very well, and thought with some worry in his heart:

"According to the old man's character, shouldn't he have a conflict with this guy, this guy looks strong, and his strength is also great, and he doesn't know how much he has reached, just now this battle that can't be called a battle, it seems that he didn't use his real strength at all, it's like playing;

But it's so noisy outside, and I should know it inside, even if I try to cover it up, it won't work, it's really ...... Today is really unlucky, I was poured a thick soup before, and now I am likely to be beaten, I am too difficult! ”

Quickly thinking about what to do, in order to be able to resolve the possible crisis this time, but found that there is no very good way, and can only take one step at a time, with the sound of questions from inside, Sanji also has no choice, and he stubbornly greeted Zhepu who came out of it to understand the situation.

"What's going on? Why would anyone do it here? ”

"Old man, this ......"

"I'm a bounty hunter, they're pirates, and they've done something worth it for me to capture them, so that's what I did."

Sharky stood up and said lightly, his eyes and Zhepu looked at each other, the two sides did not back down at all, the air became solidified, and the atmosphere was tense.

Sanji was caught in the middle, and he wanted to speak, but he didn't interject, and he could only watch the two go toe-to-toe.

"This guy doesn't look very old, but this sturdy body is full of strength, he is a powerful guy, I didn't see how he did it just now, if he did it rashly, I don't know if the odds are big, compared to those guys in the first half of the great voyage, it seems to be much better, this feeling of danger."

Zhepu thought to himself, although he had traveled on the Great Voyage for a year, it was only in the first half of the relatively safer period, but it was this Great Voyage in the first half that there were countless powerful guys, so he chose to return to the East China Sea.

This year's travels have greatly increased his knowledge and experience, he knows those special combat skills, auxiliary abilities, Devil Fruits that are still sought after despite their weaknesses, and Domineering Sight and Hearing that can sense breath and distinguish the strength and weakness of opponents.

But it's a pity that he didn't see and hear the domineering, learning these skills, it takes a lot of training, and he also needs to have a certain talent, he doesn't know the method, and he just heard that he has such a good ability.

Although he didn't see or hear, he had a wealth of experience and insight, and when he faced Sharkey, he saw some shadows of those strong people; Calm, calm and confident.

Zhepu glanced at the three pirates lying on the ground twitching, and opened his mouth to break the peace,

"Even though you say so, something like this happens in my restaurant that will upset the other guests, so ...... Defeat me, or you won't want to leave here, and if you can't beat me, stay here and work for me for a month! ”

Xia Ji was stunned for a moment, and then the corners of his mouth twitched, the old man in front of him really surprised him, it was impossible to stay and work or something.

"It's impossible to work part-time, it's impossible to work in this life, so it's just a matter of catching pirates and living a life in exchange for a bounty."

Shaki shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, then his tone changed again, and said:

"It seems that I have only one choice, beat you, although you are an old man, but saying what you just said means that you are not afraid of being beaten, right, then I won't release water, but!"

Sharkey's voice turned,

"Before this, hurry up and serve the food, I've been waiting for a long time, I'm going to starve to death, is this how you treat customers in this restaurant?"

"Ahh Forehead...... Has it been a long time? ”

Zhepu turned his head and asked the chef in the back,

"This ...... The food was ready, right in the kitchen, just this thing, so ...... So it didn't take it out. ”

"Give them food first!"

"Okay!"

After speaking, Zhepu found a stool and sat next to the gate, and did not look at Sharky's table, because it was rude to look at people all the time,

But in order to prevent Sharky from running away, he blocked the door.

"What a strange old man......"

Xia Ji muttered, sat down again, ate a full meal first, and then beat the old man later, and then he could leave, wasting so much time, and he was going to be in a hurry, but Tie Hanhan, who was well-fed, might be able to improve his speed a lot, but he was also a sharpening knife and cutting wood.

"Sharkey, is this man the red-footed Jep who has returned from the Great Voyage? I seem to have seen some of his messages, but I didn't expect him to open a restaurant here. ”

"This kind of thing, who knows? Don't bother, when I'm done beating him up, we'll go after that slippery guy in Egris. ”

"A few guests, please use it slowly!"

Sanji brought the food to the three of them, and Shaki took a big bite to taste the food made by these professionals, and it was really much better than what he made, and before Icarem and Vivi finished eating, Shaki had already finished eating, and with a long sigh of relief, he walked towards Zhepu.

"Be careful, Sharky!"

"Got it! Hurry up a little, don't I win yet, I haven't finished eating! ”

Sharkey waved his hand, and Zhepu saw him coming over, and he was also the first to get out of the restaurant and walk to the platform outside.

"Old man, if you are not in good health, take it easy, do you want to admit defeat?"

"Boy, I'm not old enough to move?"

Zhepu said angrily, it was really unpleasant to be underestimated,

"Then I'll let you? Strike first, or you won't have a chance to make a move! ”

Sharkey pretended to be provocative and said, in fact, he already had an idea in his heart, he wanted to use his advantage to defeat Zhepu as quickly as possible.

And his advantage is the strength and speed and precision of the platinum star, if he takes the lead in attacking, although he has the first opportunity, but it allows Zhepu to grasp the opportunity to counterattack with his backhand,

There is no real fight, and I don't know how fast Zhepu's reaction speed is, after all, there is not much hatred between the two sides, and it doesn't seem to be very good to make a death hand directly. It's mainly the bounty of the guy Zhepu, I don't know if there is one, in Sharkey's memory, except for Zhepu's name and general ability, there is no such thing as a bounty at all,

And after so many years, the devil knows if there is still one, if not, it will be a waste of time; If Zhepu is sent to prison, it will make Sanji hold a grudge, and Shanzhi will hold a grudge, then he will definitely take revenge;

If you want to let him take revenge and make yourself uncomfortable, no one will want to, and Shaki is the same, do you want to beat him into a waste? Or do you just kill them? Sharky really can't do this, at least for now,

Now planted in the hands of Xia Ji are some unforgivable pirates, and the old man in front of him is not in this category now, and Sanji also does not meet this standard.

"Since that's the case, then the old man is welcome!"

Looking at Sharky's victory, Zhepu muttered in his heart, but he didn't think much about it, for him, to take the lead and let him win bigger, he directly started with a skilled leg technique, and his body rushed towards Summery quickly like a cannonball, and the prosthetic leg of his right leg was in front of him, kicking out a flying kick.

"Chef prosthetic leg flying kick!"

"Ora!"

Bang, it was the dull sound of flesh being struck;

Shaki stared, Zhepu's speed was not fast in his eyes, and with the help of the platinum star, there was no need to move at all, just a simple and ordinary punch, the old man was knocked out, and after rubbing his body on the ground for a distance of several meters, he slowed down for a few seconds before slowly standing up.

"I won, do you still have questions?"

"Stinky boy, the old man lost, naturally there is nothing to say, hurry up!"

Zhepu blew his beard and glared, but he had already lost, and the other party was merciful, so he couldn't say anything, so he snorted and turned around and walked inside.

"Wait!"

"What else?"

Hearing Sharky's retention, he turned around with some dissatisfaction and asked rhetorically.

"In addition to eating this, I also have to buy some food from you, we don't have much food on the ship, okay!"

"Sanji, take this kid with you!"

"Ahh Oh! I know! ”

Sanji was woken up by Zhepu from his daze, Zhepu's strength, Sanji knew it very well, he didn't expect to be defeated by Xiaki's move so easily, and it didn't seem to be strong yet, which made him a little unbelievable.

"Is this guy so good?"

Sanji muttered as Jepu passed by him, glared at Sanji, and walked into the restaurant.

Soon, after the food was taken care of, the three of them left the restaurant on the sea and continued in the direction they had before......
