Chapter 374: A Battle That Ended Before It Started

The closest tables of customers gathered at the door to look out, and the other customers by the window also looked out of the window.

The waiters outside the door all rushed into the restaurant in a panic and looked out distraughtly.

"What? What's the situation? ā€

Luffy rushed to the door with an excited face and squeezed away the other customers, and then couldn't help but let out a 'wow' sound.

A huge pirate ship appeared near Barati, the sea restaurant, with a bow resembling a hideous lion's head, and a pirate flag painted with a skull and an hourglass hunting in the wind. Behind this huge pirate ship is a dense network of pirate warships, forming a huge fleet.

For a time, the sea was completely covered by the fleet.

"Okay~~ Handsome fleet!" Luffy put his hand on the pergola with an excited expression, he had never seen such a large fleet. But the customers around him couldn't help but tremble and muttered:

"It's over, it's 'Boss' Creek!"

"The skull on the Pirate Banner is flanked by hourglasses that intimidate the enemy...... You can't go wrong, it's the naval fleet of the leader Creek! ā€

"I will actually run into the fleet of the overlord of the East China Sea! That's a pirate fleet of 50 ships! ā€

"What is the overlord of the East China Sea leading the fleet to do in the sea restaurant? Could it be that the company organizes a dinner? ā€

Da, da, da......

With the sound of sticks tapping on the floor, the owner and chef of the Sea Restaurant, 'Barefoot' Zof, who was wearing a wooden prosthetic leg, walked outside the restaurant door and looked at the giant pirate warship with a frown.

Sanji followed Zofu, struck a match and silently lit a cigarette, exhaling a puff of smoke into the sky: "...... It's not good. ā€

"You're 'Barefoot' Zof? Sure enough, he's still alive, a sea thief who captains a ship as a chef. ā€

A majestic voice sounded, and a burly man stood on the bow of the pirate ship, looking condescendingly at Zof. The man was covered in gold armor, wearing a black cloak, short purple hair wrapped in a turban, and his arrogant square face was full of wanton hideousness: "You don't need me to introduce myself, right?" ā€

"...... 'Leader' Creek, commanding 50 pirate ships and 5,000 subordinates of the East China Sea Overlord, of course I know your name."

Zhuo Fu folded his arms and said in a calm voice: "I'm sorry, but our store doesn't seem to be able to welcome 5,000 customers." ā€

"Less nonsense, 'barefoot' Zof!"

Crick laughed, "I heard that you entered that demon's cave 'Great Voyage' and came back unscathed, during which you recorded your voyage in detail that year, right?" Hand over your Nautical Diary! ā€

"The nautical diary was written with my crew in the past, and it is something we are proud of."

Zhuo Fu's expression was indifferent: "You don't seem to be worthy of such a valuable thing." ā€

"Hahahaha!! You don't seem to understand your situation yet? ā€

Crick slammed his arms outstretched, and the black cloak behind him fluttered in the wind, like a hunting pirate flag:

"If you don't give it, then I'll kill you and snatch it away, this is the style of pirates. I'll tell you the truth, I'm determined to get the great voyage! [Determination], [Strength], I have been fully prepared, the only thing missing is [Intelligence], I only lack such one thing. As soon as I get your nautical diary, I will lead the fleet on the great voyage! At that time, no matter who you are, you won't be able to stop me, and I will find ONEPIECE and become the king of this era of pirates!! ā€

With his arrogant words, cheers continued to be heard from the fleet behind him, and they firmly believed in the strength of their leader.

"Wait!"

Zhuo and Sanji, who were standing at the door of the restaurant, were directly pushed away by Luffy who rushed out from behind, and the black-haired boy who was not tall pointed at Creek with one hand on his waist and said loudly: "I am the future One Piece!" ā€

"Huh? Kid, this isn't a pirate game......"

Crick tilted his head gloomily, when did even this little monkey dare to disobey himself, the overlord of the East China Sea?

"Isn't that nonsense?" Luffy crunched his knuckles with excitement, "What kind of diary is this shopkeeper trying to protect, right?" I don't want you to snatch it like this, I'll take this beam! ā€

"Hey! What are you talking about? Sanji stood beside Luffy with an unhappy face: "This store is protected by me, what are you doing with a customer?" ā€

"5,000 people...... Interesting. Count me in, Luffy! Zoro put one hand in his pocket and the other on the handle of the knife at his waist, slowly walked to Luffy's side, and turned his head to look at Sanji: "Curl your eyebrows, are you interested in trying it out?" Let's see who kills the most. ā€

"It's too arrogant to have a green algae head......" For some reason, Sanji was very unhappy with this green-haired swordsman: "Okay, if I don't kill as much, you can stay in the store and brush dishes for a year!" ā€

Luffy looked at Sanji with a grin and suddenly said, "Found a super good chef!" Your name is Sanji, come with us to be a pirate! ā€

Sanji was so angry with these two oversized guys that he had no choice but to refocus his attention on the pirate fleet on the other side.

In the chaotic and noisy restaurant, Karina and Usopp hugged each other tremblingly, their faces full of tears: "You, you really want to fight with a pirate fleet of 5,000 people?" ā€

On the side of the pirate fleet, Crick's huge roar resounded across the battlefield: "Give it to me!" The little ones, snatch this ship and the logbook, and kill the others!! ā€

With a roar of screams, hundreds of landing craft loaded with swords and guns rushed towards the sea restaurant Barati!

All the chefs in the restaurant poured into the raised 'fins' deck of the restaurant at sea with huge knives and forks as weapons, and watched the pirates surging from all directions with desperate faces.

Luffy licked his lips excitedly and quickly turned his right arm, which continued to extend like a rubber material.

Zoro tied his black turban tightly, his simple katana with the white hilt in his mouth, and a long knife in each of his left and right hands, slightly lowered his body and put on an impeccable attack stance.

Sanji had a cigarette in his mouth, stood with his legs slightly apart, and reached for the holster at his waist with his right hand.

"[Fire Fist] ——!!"

Before Creek could react, a fierce fire flashed from the corner of his eye, and the surging huge pillar of fire blasted across the sea in an unstoppable manner, instantly clearing a huge space!

The pirate ships and landing craft in the bombardment orbit instantly turned into dust, and the smiles on the faces of the pirates on the landing craft did not disappear, and they were evaporated along with the landing craft. The sea water was boiled by the intense heat in an instant, and the flames attached to the sea surface for a long time, and for a time the sea surface was dyed orange-red under the light of the flames.

Everyone was stunned, staring blankly at the terrifying sight of the sea of hellfire in front of them.

"I—I'm not dreaming, am I?" Sanji didn't notice the cigarette at the corner of his mouth, and he didn't know if it was hot or scared with sweat on his face. Zoro also clenched the long knife in his hand, his face full of nervousness.

Even Luffy's heartless mouth opened wide and his face was sluggish.

Creek stiffly and slowly scanned the surroundings, except for his flagship and other pirate ships that were far away, the wave of fire just now had evaporated twelve pirate ships and thousands of pirates with just one blow!

Suddenly, the sea of fire burning on the surface of the sea strangely twisted into a wide sea channel.

At the end of the seaway is a blue-hugged schooner with a lifelike winged statue of Victory, but the blame is that the statue is dressed in a resin bikini and gauze skirt, a wide resin visor on its head, and each wooden feather on its wings is as colorful as nail polish.

There were several figures standing in the bow of the ship, led by two people arguing.

"Ace, you idiot! Why did you suddenly attack! ā€

"Huh? Didn't you say that these pirates did all kinds of evil in the East China Sea? Oops, pain, pain! Don't pull your ears! ā€

"Don't you see any civilians over there? In case of a wave of civilians, let alone two stars, even your current one-star hunter level may be deprived, big fool! ā€

Luffy, who had a dull expression, suddenly moved his ears when he heard the quarrel between the two, and shouted in surprise, "Ace!?" Is Ace you? ā€

The figure at the bow of the ship who was grabbed by the ear suddenly froze:

"Luffy?"
