"Hey! Who made the soup this morning!? ”

Sanji had just opened the wooden door of the chef's dining room when he saw Paddy yelling loudly with a plate.

Hearing Paddy's question, Sanji immediately came to his senses.

Because today's soup is his pinnacle recently.

It was also something he expected to be appreciated by everyone!

Instantly replied happily:

“…… Ha! It's me! ”

"How!? Delicious, right? ”

"I'm ...... beef this time."

Boom!

Sanji was just halfway through his words.

Paddy, who was holding the soup plate, suddenly threw the plate to the ground under his surprised gaze.

The plate shattered instantly, and the thick soup slowly seeped into the floor.

Paddy, who hadn't yet withdrawn his thrown arm, stared at Sanji's sluggish head with two big eyes, and scolded angrily in his throat:

"Such an unpalatable thing! Are you making pig feed!! Yes!!? ”

"You !!"

Sanji's expression instantly became gloomy, and he looked at Paddy, who had always been at odds with him, his face was pale, and his brows were furrowed.

After a while, he slightly suppressed the anger that was about to explode, put his hands in the pockets of his trousers, and said disdainfully:

"Hey! You stupid big guy! ”

"It seems that human food is no longer to your taste!"

"Cut!"

Piety immediately retorted:

"To be able to do this to the extent of food!

You're a wonder in the world of chefs!

Such an unpalatable thing, it's not food anymore!

It is better to treat him as a work of art and let chefs all over the world taste it and take it as a warning!! ”

Paddy's poisonous tongue played for a long time, and a set of scolding came down, which instantly made Sanji speechless.

Reaching out to Paddy, he trembled and said angrily:

"It's impossible to !!"

"Today's broth is my pride!!"

"I ............"

"Phew!!"

"Vomit ......"

“…………”

Before Sanji could finish his words, the chef sitting at the table immediately retched and frantically spit out the food in his mouth.

One by one, he threw the plates full of broth to the ground and cursed angrily:

"Phew! What the hell is this! ”

"Is this for people to drink!?

"Pour it out, pour it out! Don't interfere with the rest of the food on the table!! ”

“………………”

……

……

"You...... You guys!!! ”

Sanji lowered his head, his eyes widened, and the tears that gathered slightly shook uncontrollably in his eyes.

Looking at the food flowing on the floor, his proudest cooking skills were questioned.

The anger accumulated to the near point, and it exploded in an instant, angrily scolding these chefs who had no normal human taste:

"What the hell do you want to do!!

"Humph!"

With his thick arms folded in front of his chest, Paddy bowed back to look back at Sanji, leading a group of cooks to shout at him:

"What do you think you are!?"

"If it weren't for your special relationship with the boss, we would have scolded you a long time ago!"

"That's it, don't you know how you got your identity as a sous chef!?

"We used to just take care of your relationship with Boss Tetsuo! Don't take yourself too seriously!! ”

“…………………………”

……

……

"You...... You ......"

Sanji looked at the chefs who were crusading against him in disbelief, and it was clear that they usually worked and got along so harmoniously......

Why, why is everyone like this today!?

Boom!

There was another sound of a porcelain plate shattering.

This was followed by a hoarse thump.

"Phew!"

"Hey! What's the deal with this unpalatable broth that tastes like silt!! ”

"If you give this garbage to your customers! We're going to close down!! ”

"Boss!"

"Boss!"

“…………”

When they saw the visitors, the chefs instantly greeted them respectfully.

"Old man!!"

When Sanji turned around and saw the visitor, he was immediately attacked by anger and carried away.

stepped forward and grabbed Tetsuo's white chef's uniform, and almost pointed at Tetsuo with his face close to his body and roared:

"No kidding, stinky old man!!"

"Tell me about it!! What's the difference between the soup you make and the soup I make!! Well!!? ”

"Than the soup I made?!"

Tetsuo instantly grabbed Sanji's finger pointing at him.

"Don't compare my work to your garbage!! Bastard!!! ”

Boom!

Sanji, who didn't expect Tetsuo to make a move at all, was directly grabbed by Tetsuo's arm, fell hard over the shoulder, and smashed heavily to the ground.

In an instant, Sanji, who was caught off guard, fell to the ground.

"Talk about cooking in front of me!! Are you a hundred years early!! ”

Tetsuo stared disdainfully at Sanji, who fell to the ground, and said insultingly again.

"Yes...... Damn ......"

At this moment, Sanji suddenly had a feeling of being abandoned by the whole world.

Lying on the ground, struggling to prop himself up from the ground, tears had begun to flow down uncontrollably.

"Damn!!"

Kneeling on the ground, Sanji looked up to the sky and yelled.

After that, he got up in an instant, grabbed the door directly, left the kitchen, and disappeared from the sight of the chefs.

The door on the other side suddenly opened inward, and Luffy and Zoro slowly walked into the kitchen.

Tetsuo's eyes suddenly welled up with a mist, and looking at Luffy who was walking slowly, he finally couldn't stop his tears.

Slightly brewing emotions, thinking of the previous conversation with Luffy, he could no longer suppress his emotions.

In front of everyone, he knelt down in front of Luffy with a thud.

Holding his hands on the ground, he lowered his head and said sincerely to Luffy:

"My lord! In this way, Sanji can follow the adults with confidence and go to a wider world! ”

"Huh! Don't do that! Don't be like this!! ”

Luffy, who was taken aback by Tetsuo's sudden move, hurriedly stepped forward to pick up Tetsuo.

Although Tetsuo struggled and didn't want to get up, no matter what, he couldn't withstand Luffy's terrifying power.

In the end, he had to stand up helplessly, but his attitude was still respectful:

"My lord! Sanji, this child has an unusual personality since he was a child! I ask you to take care of him in the future! ……”

"His personality is sometimes very extreme, and he is often disobedient, please don't be too ......"

At this time, Tetsuo, like an old father who sends his children to school, keeps telling Luffy about his requests.

"Alright, alright! Boss Tetsuo! ”

Seeing that Tetsuo seemed to have something to explain, Luffy quickly interrupted him.

Seeing that he stopped, he comforted and continued:

"First of all...... Boss, don't be so polite to me! ”

"If Sanji really joins the Starry Sky Pirates, then we will be a family!"

"Family members should help each other!"

"And the other thing is ......"

Luffy's smile suddenly retracted, and he said to Tetsuo with a serious face:

"We didn't invite Sanji to join us, but not because of your ridiculous request!"

"It's in him, with what we pirates appreciate......"

"Potential! Dream! Belief! Thanksgiving! ……”

"And sacrifice!"

"So, don't think that if Sanji joins us, he will be inferior......"

"His future is bound to bloom above the peak of the world with the name of 'starry sky'!!"

“………………”

For some reason, seeing Luffy's unceremonious expression, Tetsuo's nervous mood suddenly relaxed......

Looking at Luffy with a serious face, he knew......

His worries may have become unnecessary.

"Of course!"

Luffy's expression instantly relaxed again, and he smiled at Tetsuo:

"His cooking skills are also very welcome to us!"

"Hahahahaha......"

……

……

Luffy's laughter once again washed away the slightly sad atmosphere in the kitchen.

Zoro also smiled and picked up a bowl of thick soup that had just been spurned by everyone, and drank it all on his back.

"It's really delicious!!"

Sauron's simple words instantly resonated with the chefs, and the reluctance to leave soon, the chefs praised one after another:

"Of course!"

"Sanji is the best cook among us!"

"Hello? Isn't the best cooking guy Boss Tetsuo!! ”

"Haha! What does it matter! The boss won't care! Right, Boss Tetsuo? ”

"Half of your salary for this month!"

"Wow! Don't! Boss I was wrong! Woowoo woo ......"

In the kitchen, there was a burst of laughter again, and everyone seemed to enjoy this joyful way to forget the sadness of Sanji's imminent departure.

……

……

"What a bunch of idiots!"

Outside the kitchen door.

Sanji hugged his knees and pressed against the wall next to the door, burying his head deep in his body.

"I'm ............ I heard them all......"

Tears......

Soaking the neat suit.
