"Oh hoo~"

Vlad's mouth let out a slight exclamation, just like Nami saw the most precious treasure in the world, like Sanji saw the world's number one beautiful empress stripped naked and stood in front of him, just like Zoro saw the famous sword and the great swordsman, just like Luffy saw the delicious meat, just like Robin saw the text of history.

"Goo-dong!"

Vlad couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, the hand holding the fork trembled a little, this is the first time, this is the first time Vlad has such a reaction, no matter how strong the enemy is, he has never reacted like this before, but this time it is different, completely different.

"This, this, what is this?"

Vlad exclaimed.

In front of him was a small plate with a cake, a chocolate cake.

But can such a thing really be called a cake? Can it really be? Something like this isn't cake anymore, is it? Obviously not, right?

"Is this, where did this art come from?"

Vlad unconsciously let out such an exclamation.

The delicate chocolate cake is served on a small plate, the black and white chocolate and cream are perfectly matched, the curvaceous chocolate pattern on the surface matches the name of the cake, and the small carved flower on the top is beautiful, and two small dew drops are embellished on it.

"This, this, is it really a cake?"

Vlad turned his head to look at the man standing to the side with a breezy smile on his face, and asked softly, "Dino, aren't you really an artist?" ”

"Artists? Food artists? That's not bad! ”

Vlad's newly recruited cook, a man named Dino, said, "Dinot's special chocolate cake, please taste it!" ”

"Can I really eat it?" Vlad looked hesitant.

"Please, Mr. Vlad," Dino smiled, "food is made to be enjoyed, and that's the only purpose of food." ”

"That's good!"

Vlad's eyes sparkled, and it was excitement he had never felt before.

Gently, very carefully, very cautiously, Vlad gently dug a small piece of the cake with a fork, and with a pilgrimage expression on his face, he stuffed this small piece of cake into his mouth with anticipation.

"Meet !!!!!"

Vlad seemed to have lost all his strength, leaning back in his chair, his eyes blank, his pupils staring blankly at the ceiling, his mouth having forgotten to chew.

"W-what is this?"

Vlad's mind was only with this thought, was this thing in his mouth really a cake? It's weird, why? Why does it feel like the whole person is flying in an instant, forgetting everything, whether it is troubles or sorrows? How strange!

How to describe it? How do you describe such a delicacy? How could there be such a cake in the world? Vlad had a tearful look on his face, what is this? If this is a dessert, what are the previous ones that were eaten in the nations? Is it? It must be, right?

It's like listening to music, a wonderful concert, chocolate, cake, cream, perfect fusion, wonderful taste, just the right amount of sweetness and creamy aroma, it's like your mouth is singing! Indescribable feelings.

"Whew... Call... Whew..."

Vlad sat up suddenly, gasping for air, looking at the plate of cake as if he were looking at some kind of flood beast,

"It's not easy for a small plate of cake to make me lose my temper to such a point!"

Vlad picked up the fork again, with an inevitable smile on the corner of his mouth: "However, Lao Tzu is not a person who gives in easily!" How can you be conquered by a mere piece of cake! ”

"Meet !!"

"It's delicious!!"

Vlad covered his face with a happy expression.

"Isn't this completely conquered?" The maid who was standing aside and smoking complained disdainfully.

"Haha!" Dino looked a little happy, after all, chefs want their work to be recognized.

------------

"Ahem,"

Vlad coughed lightly twice, his expression was very serious, his hands were crossed on his chin, and his eyes were a little solemn: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not a dessert lover, I just want to try my hand at being a chef." ”

Baby-5, who was already familiar with Vlad, threw a roll of his eyes with disdain, not taking Vlad's quibbling seriously at all.

"Oh?" However, the new addition Dino looked a little enlightened.

"Mr. Vlad," Dino chuckled softly, "are you not satisfied with the chocolate cake this time?" It doesn't matter, but dessert isn't my best thing, but there are quite a few pastries that I can make, so there's something to suit your taste! ”

Vlad's pupils shrank, as if he had encountered some extremely difficult problem.

"-Ahem, let's not mention this first,"

After a long time, Vlad, who had stopped fantasizing about himself, blushed and changed the topic a little embarrassedly: "Now, there are more important things waiting for us to do." ”

"Huo!"

The old god was standing on the side, smoking, and the maid replied with a questioning look.

"Uhaha,"

Vlad had a kind smile on his face, and there was a bright smile in his eyes when he looked at the maid: "Miss maid, from today onwards, double your training volume, I think your physique is enough, and you can mainly start the development of domineering." ”

"You...."Baby-5's face was full of anger, and she immediately wanted to turn her face with Vlad, after all, she had never been a good-natured girl, and she had not been a lot of times before when she had drawn a knife against Doflamingo.

"Huh?"

With a smile, Vlad looked at the maid softly, a hint of a smile in his eyes.

"—Yes."

Baby-5's body trembled, and he couldn't help shrinking back, nodding in agreement with Vlad's suggestion, after all, this man is not a good man and a woman, and he will not show any mercy to himself in the name of training.

"That's good," Vlad was pleased with the maid's curiosity, after all, no leader wanted his men to be at odds with him.

"Now, then, guys, uh, no, two,"

Vlad placed a huge package on the table, and the solid table couldn't help but tremble, "Now is the time to witness the miracle!" ”

"Uhahahaha, it's finally time for my favorite treasure opening session!"

Vlad grinned, put his hand on the top of the package, and said with a smile: "Two, guess what's inside?" ”

The cook and the maid looked at each other and shook their heads slowly, Dino said softly, "It's something that Mary Joya got back, right?" ”

"That's right,"

Vlad smiled: "What is inside is the biggest harvest except for you this time, the treasures of the Tianlong people, and our development funds are all dependent on them!" ”

With a slight movement of Vlad's hand, the package opened, revealing a bright golden light.
