Chapter 209: Reversal (Birthday Celebration for Bookworm Management!! )
Paddy, who took over the order, instantly fled like a rabbit with developed limbs.
Ran into the kitchen with a cigarette, and summoned two subordinates by the way, and began to concentrate on preparing a hearty lunch for Luffy and the others.
The sudden appearance of Luffy and his gang instantly disrupted the originally panicked atmosphere in the entire restaurant.
Although people are still afraid of the name Klick, the overlord of the East China Sea.
But seeing his weak appearance at this time, there was a faint trace of compassion, which overwhelmed the fear in his heart.
And......
I don't know why, compared to Klick, the overlord of the East China Sea, people feel an inexplicable sense of intimidation from Luffy and his group.
As a result, although Klick is already powerless, the atmosphere is still as dignified as before, without any relaxation.
In particular, when the diners and chefs saw Brooke, a moving bone shelf showed a surprised look as if they had seen a monster, and unconsciously, they took two steps back, away from the table of Luffy and the others.
More eyes were attracted by Luffy and a few people.
On the contrary, few people cared about the sea thief Klick who fell to the ground.
……
……
Thump!
Ah Jin, who shouted several times but only received a slight gasp from Klick, slammed his knees to the ground, and the sound once again attracted everyone's attention.
"Please...... Save the Captain! ”
"If he goes on like this, he'll die!!"
I saw Ah Jin kneeling on the ground in pain, facing everyone, bowing his manly head, and slamming it to the ground hard, tears kept flowing from his eyes, and he choked with tears:
"We brought the money...... Please...... Please!! ”
"No matter how much it is, we are willing to pay!"
"Please give us some food and water!"
……
……
"Hahahahaha......"
Ah Jin's lowly begging, without the slightest mercy, in exchange, only a group of chefs ridiculed presumptuously:
"It's so funny! It's so funny! ”
"This is the notorious overlord of the East China Sea?"
"Hurry up and contact the navy, while he is so weak now, this is a golden opportunity for the navy!"
"That's right! Don't give them anything to eat, just keep them hungry! Who knows what they will do to us when they have the strength!! ”
At this time, even the diners joined in the denunciation of Klick, insulting and mocking him.
Ah Jin's tears kept falling to the ground, flowing into a single piece, but he did not get a trace of sympathy, and pity.
Until......
"Hey!"
"Give him this!"
A pair of brand-new black leather shoes appeared in Ah Jin's blurred vision.
Sanji, who didn't know where to run just now, suddenly brought out a bowl of fried rice and slowly walked out of the kitchen.
said to Ah Jin, who kept kowtowing and begging on the ground.
"What! Feed! What are you doing! Sanji! ”
"Damn! He's the most cunning pirate in the East China Sea! ”
"That's right! It is rumored that he assassinated the commander's navy and robbed the navy's warships! In the name of the navy, countless villages were ransacked! O great wicked man who has committed a heinous crime!! ”
"After he finishes eating, he will definitely not go back obediently!!"
“…………”
“…………”
A group of chefs kept counting Sanji, questioning his decision.
But Sanji didn't hesitate and still handed over the fried rice in his hand.
"Mr. Sanji......"
Ah Jin's red and swollen eyes flashed with tears called emotion, and he hurriedly took the food from Sanji's hand.
"Captain!"
Ah Jin slowly put the food to Klick's mouth.
Encouraged by the aroma of food, Klick, whose brain was already on the verge of shock, miraculously stood up again.
In the face of the food in front of him, he didn't blink his eyes, his body didn't stop at all, and he didn't care whether it was dirty or not, he directly grabbed a handful of gray palms with the palm that he had just gotten up from the ground, grabbed the fried rice in a big way, quickly stuffed it into his mouth, and ate it like a wolf.
……
……
"Kirby?"
"Ah...... Yes!? What's the matter, Mr. Luffy? ”
Kirby, who was attracted by Klick's side, was looking at Klick, who was showing a terrible appearance, and Sanji, who was kind at heart, showing a heartfelt smile.
Under Luffy's sudden call, he came back to his senses in an instant and asked Luffy curiously.
Luffy gently picked up the soup spoon, scooped out a mouthful of sweet soup from a delicate small bowl, put it in his mouth, and swallowed it.
Only then did he speak again with an expressionless face, pointing at the embarrassed Klick, and asked Kirby:
"What do you think, that man?"
"Huh?"
Kirby was puzzled for a moment, but still slowly spoke his thoughts and said:
"Looks ...... What a pitiful look......"
"That man, it's great to save him......"
After speaking, he looked at Klick, who was gobbling up, and Ah Jin, who was guarding him with a look of concern.
Because he ate too quickly, a lot of the rice was not put into his mouth, but instead got on Click's face and fell to the ground.
"That's ......"
Luffy replied lightly and didn't say anything more.
Even the look in his eyes did not change, he just nodded shallowly, as if he had decided something, and suddenly said to Kirby with a smile:
"Let's eat quickly~ Kebi ......"
"This restaurant really lives up to its reputation, it tastes good, not a little bit!"
Usopp also instantly turned into a gourmet, and directly answered:
"That's right! That's right! This yogurt ice cream, really!
On the palate it is silky and delicate, with a moderate sweetness and just the right amount of acidity, which perfectly combines sweet and sour tastes and blooms together in the taste buds......"
Usopp was not stingy with the food that had already been eaten, and blurted out words of praise.
But I still don't feel like it's showing its perfect taste.
Directly stretched out his hand, and said to Paddy in the distance:
"Waiter~ Give me another copy of this!"
……
……
The Bharati restaurant fell into a brief silence.
There are only two directions, and the sound of chewing food is constantly heard.
On one side, it is Luffy and others who are enjoying the food and are still frantically adding food.
On the other hand, the overlord of the East China Sea, Klick, in order to fill his stomach, did not care about his image at all, lying on the ground like a dog, and his two big hands couldn't stop stuffing a lot of food into his mouth.
Soon, a large plate of fried rice that was enough to burst the stomach of ordinary people, except for the rice grains scattered on the ground, had all been stuffed into the stomach by Klick.
A perfect interpretation of what is called "disc action".
The golden armor trembled slightly, as if digesting food.
Klick staggered to his feet in the midst of the crowd's gaze, his armor rattling.
Boom!!!
Mutation, instantaneous!
Just when everyone thought that Klick would be grateful to Sanji who gave him food when he was in danger.
A golden iron fist flashed a thick light in the air and smashed directly into Sanji's face.
Everyone didn't expect that Klick not only did not feel any gratitude, but beat his savior to the ground as soon as possible.
"Sanji!"
"Sanji!"
“…………”
The cooks instantly looked panicked and resentful, and stood in front of Sanji, facing Klick with some fear.
Although they stop Sanji with their mouths, they who know Sanji also know that it is impossible for Sanji to see someone hungry and ignore it.
Therefore, he didn't really stop Sanji.
Unexpectedly, this Klick really has no humanity at all, and the first time after filling his stomach, he actually knocked Sanji to the ground.
"Gram...... Captain Click, what are you doing!? ”
Ah Jin's face was full of shock, and he looked at Klick, who had just punched, in bewilderment, and shouted loudly:
"You...... Didn't you say that you wouldn't shoot at the store? ”
"And !!"
"Sanji is our savior!!"
"Wow, ah!!hhh
Klick instantly grabbed Ah Jin, who was still chattering.
Jin Jia's palm directly grasped Ah Jin's shoulder and squeezed it hard, preventing him from wanting to continue, in exchange for Ah Jin's painful scream.
Accompanied by Akin's painful scream, Klick looked around Bharati's restaurant, laughed and said:
"Hahahaha......"
"It's delicious! It's alive again! ”
"This restaurant is good......
"I want this ship!"
At this moment, Klick's face was completely devoid of the sadness and pain just now.
Looking at everyone's eyes, there is no trace of respect for life, as if he is the sky that gives orders to everyone, cold and ruthless.
……
……
"What are you going to do, Kirby?"
Luffy suddenly put down the steak in his hand and shouted at Kirby who suddenly got up.
Kirby's footsteps paused instantly, stopped next to the seat, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and then took a deep breath and slowly replied to Luffy:
"Mr. Luffy, I'm going to help them teach this bad guy a lesson!"
Kirby really didn't expect that the person he was pitying just now would become like this in an instant.
Crick's ugly face and behavior completely infuriated Kirby.
Since Luffy installed a training room on the Merry, he and Zoro have not stopped for almost a moment, and they have been training there every day.
Now a little pirate of Klick's level has long been out of Kerby's eyes.
"Sit down ......"
Luffy said lightly.
"But! Mr. Luffy......!? ”
"Sit down!"
Luffy's tone, suddenly stern, interrupted Kirby's next words.
Then he looked seriously at Sanji, who was knocked to the ground by Klick, and said slowly:
"People are responsible for their own stupidity......"
“…………”
Chirping......
The chair that was clenched by Kirby shattered slightly, and a trace of sawdust fell.
But in the end, Kirby obediently let go of his hand and sat back down.
It's just that on that complicated face, it seems to tell everyone that his mood at the moment is not very good.
Even the food in front of him could not arouse any interest in him.
In response, Luffy just smiled lightly, continued to pick up the knife and fork, and performed a brutal and terrible act on the steak on the plate.
However, not only Luffy, but everyone, including Usopp, also had an indifferent look on their faces, without the slightest idea of helping.
……
……
Sanji slowly stood up from the ground, spit out the cigarette butt that had been broken, but said without surprise:
"As expected......"
