Chapter 639 Mihawk attracts bees and butterflies
Chapter 639 Mihawk attracts bees and butterflies
As night fell, the tea party gradually became lively. There was no big banquet, but a way that was very inconsistent with people's inherent style of Totland - a buffet.
And it's an open-air buffet. More importantly...the ingredients for the buffet are brought by the guests, and the chefs of the buffet...are the guests.
The young people participating in the King of Kitchen Competition today and their teams have now become the chefs of the tea party, but no chef will feel impatient.
Unexpectedly, there are many ladies in the Charlotte family who like food and cooking. They are all hanging out in various open-air kitchens and communicating with the chefs.
Before these young chefs came to attend the tea party, they had been told that the purpose of this tea party was to attract the attention of the ladies of the Charlotte family, and preferably to gain their favor.
Although the latter seems to have not been achieved yet, it has indeed successfully attracted their attention, and even some of the quick-responsive ones are already teaching step by step.
However, in the venue, the team with the highest score in the Kitchen King Competition did not even light up the stove or oven at this time. Chef Sanji was sitting on a high stool next to the sink in the corner, smoking. Smoky.
In fact, when he followed the other teams participating in the King of Kitchen Competition into the main venue in the afternoon, Sanji was still very excited because he was very likely to see the girl again.
Although they only had less than a minute of contact with the little girl who secretly tasted his own condiments, Sanji felt that the most suitable partner for him was this little girl who loved food.
As for Luffy who also stole the seasoning...he's an idiot.
Sanji even thought about the possibility that the girl he met was actually one of Katakuri's sisters. If that was the case... wouldn't it be perfect?
After entering the main venue, he kept observing. It was not until the sisters of the Charlotte family appeared that Sanji became so disappointed because he did not see the girl.
It's not that he dislikes the girl because she's not from the Charlotte family, but... this way, it will be difficult for him to find that girl again.
After all, there are too many "outsiders" gathered in Totland. Various forces come with their own outstanding young people, and... Sanji doesn't know if there are other "tracks".
In the cooking track alone, he saw that half of the team was directly persuaded to leave today. They were not even qualified to participate in the tea party.
Therefore, it is very likely that the girl followed the ship that left Cake Island and also left the place where they met.
Not only that, there was another thought in Sanji's mind that made him even more upset, that is... what if the girl did not leave, but was brought by other forces to have a blind date with those strange men in Totland?
What if that girl, like him and his enchantment, had been entrusted or even ordered by her fathers to go against her will and marry those weird men?
Or maybe that girl likes these weird men...
"Whoo~"
Stopping his thoughts, Sanji took a long breath of cigarette, and then scratched his hair in annoyance.
He raised his head and looked at his friends. Luffy was currently running around in various open-air kitchens. No matter what kind of food it was, he had to eat a big plate.
Sauron was talking strange words to the men with swords, or asking them if they knew where the man named Cavendish was.
At this time, Usopp was sitting in front of several children brought by unknown forces, talking about his great adventure from the East China Sea to this new world.
Robin, Nami, and Garrot were chatting with some daughters who seemed to be nobles. As for Pedro and Bebo, they were constantly patrolling to see if there was any illegal activity. staged.
Franky and Chopper performed human acrobatics on their own, while a tanuki modeled various human acrobatics that humans simply cannot do.
Everyone is happy, except for Kinemon and Momonosuke who are still on the pirate ship, no... Sanji looked aside and leaned against Abel, who was sitting under the candy tree. He seemed to be out of tune with these environments.
Sanji stood up, walked to him and sat down next to him. Looking at Abel, who had just joined the team but always seemed like a reliable big brother, he asked:
"Abel, don't you like the party?"
Abel shook his head and said: "I have attended too many boring banquets. Food, wine, and beauties are nothing but prosperous."
Sanji handed over a cigarette. Abel waved his hand to indicate that he would not smoke. Sanji took it back and asked with a trace of teasing: "Aren't you interested in beauty too?"
"I don't have that much enthusiasm. The remaining emotions I have may only be enough for me to be happy or melancholy once."
After hearing Abel's words, Sanji blinked. It was difficult to imagine Abel's state, because there was always no shortage of enthusiasm on the Straw Hat ship. Whether it was laughter, anger, or sadness, they were all very "enthusiastic."
But Abel seems to have never shown this kind of emotion. Looking back, this big brother is either speechless or helpless, or he is as calm as at this moment.
Abel did not expect the young man to understand him. He raised his head and said, "Your family is here."
Sanji's expression and movements paused when he heard this. Then he followed Abel's gaze and saw a few people walking in the distance. They were...his "family" he hadn't seen for many years.
In the distance, Kaji, who was originally a little dissatisfied, seemed to have noticed Sanji at this time, and his expression became strange. Behind him, the three sons remained expressionless.
As the eldest daughter, Reiku, the moment she saw Sanji, the almost invisible disappointment and doubt in her eyes disappeared instantly, replaced by a slow surprise.
She also asked about her father today, but Kaji's answer was "None of your business." This made Leijiu think that Sanji would not come, but she was extremely disappointed, but she just happened to see Sanji looking towards here. Sanji.
Leijiu wanted to run over and give her brother a hug, but seeing Kaji's complicated expression, she resisted her impulse. After all... the Vinsmoke children shouldn't be like that.
"Humph!"*2
Kaji and Sanji, almost at the same time, both snorted. Kaji frowned and walked towards Sanji. Reiku felt happy and her steps became brisk, but after two steps, she regained her composure. normal.
At this time, Sanji looked at Kaji with some anger, as well as several of his children and his brothers. They were all wearing disgusting-looking battle uniforms at this time, but only...
My sister, however, put on a fancy dress and even had her hair and makeup properly arranged.
As for his so-called father, the reason for doing this is self-evident. To put it bluntly, he planned to let Leijiu attract those weird people from the Charlotte family.
At this time, Kaji and his party also came to Sanji. Kaji looked at Sanji with very complicated eyes, and several of Sanji's brothers, after glancing at Sanji's dirty clothes, all showed their faces. A mocking look.
Only Reiku blinked her eyes twice quickly when she looked at Sanji, and then the corners of her mouth were slightly raised. Although it was not enough to make her smile, but...it was obvious that she could show her kindness. Maximum limit.
"You're still here."
Kaji calmed down and spoke coldly to Sanji. Sanji threw the cigarette butt at his feet and stamped it out, then took out another one and lit it without looking at his father.
Instead, he turned to look in the direction of Candy Castle, and then said: "Katakuri hasn't come out yet, you still have time to take back your ridiculous plan."
After hearing the conversation between the two, Leijiu, who was originally full of surprises, realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere. She frowned slightly and looked at her father.
When Kaji heard this, he said coldly: "It's ridiculous? You're the one who's ridiculous, right? Do you think you can do anything evil in Totland?"
"he can."
Suddenly, Abel, who was sitting under the candy tree but was still tall, suddenly spoke. Kaji also looked towards the candy tree at this time. When he found it was Abel, the corners of his eyes twitched.
However, he quickly calmed down his emotions, and then said: "Who do I think it is? It turns out to be Mr. Abel? But...did you misunderstand something?
Now you are not the one who has completely destroyed the Beast Pirates, but you are just a follower of a poor boy from the East China Sea. You are doing evil things in Totland. Do you think you can leave alive? "
Abel stood up slowly, looked down at the "short" Kaji, and said, "You don't have to worry about whether we can leave, because you won't have the life to think about this by then."
Hearing Abel's naked threat, Kaji's eyes widened suddenly, and then he pretended to be calm and said: "Are you going to attack me now? If it's too late, I will let Mr. Katakuri know that you are threatening. His guest."
Abel shook his head and said: "Killing you can be done at any time. You can file a complaint, but... for a person who seeks a living space, Katakuri will really kill you." Considered a guest?"
When Sanji heard this, he also smiled, took the cigarette from his mouth, and said: "You have to exchange your own children for the soil of survival. Do you, a scumbag like you, deserve to be a father?"
Hearing that their father was insulted, Yoonji, Niji and Yongji behind Kaji almost instinctively took action against Sanji and Abel.
But the next moment, flames suddenly ignited behind Abel, and Sanji also raised his knees slightly, as if he was ready for battle.
"stop!"
Kaji also turned around at this time and whispered to his three sons, it would be fine if he just attacked Sanji, but Abel...
Hearing this, Yin Zhi and the others also stopped their attacking posture. Lei Jiu frowned, looked at his own clothes, then looked at Yin Zhi's and his others' clothes, and fell silent.
The commotion here also attracted the attention of some people. Many guests attending the tea party or people from the Charlotte family looked over here.
Soon, Smoothie, one of the generals of the Big Mom Pirates, noticed the situation here and walked towards this side with his long legs.
She looked at the furious Abel and said, "Abel, do you want to cause trouble in Totland?!"
Abel looked at this woman who had become famous very early and was known as the Three Generals of Totland together with Katakuri, and said, "If necessary, yes."
Abel's straightforwardness stunned Smoothie. When she discovered that Abel had appeared on Cake Island, she immediately went to confirm with her eldest and second brothers.
But the eldest brother Perospero said that Abel or the Straw Hats were not included in the invitation list, but Katakuri agreed to let them stay.
Originally, Smoothie had a problem with Abel, an uninvited person, but now he became even more angry when he heard that he dared to blatantly say that he wanted to cause trouble in Totland.
In an instant, she reached out and grabbed the huge sword hanging behind her back.
"Brother Katakuri! Mom! Brother Perospero!"
At this time, in the candy castle, a girl who was looking at the situation outside with a telescope through the candy window suddenly turned around and shouted eagerly.
Katakuri, who was listening to his mother complaining that dinner was not as good as afternoon tea, raised his head when he heard this, looked out the window pointed by his sister, got up and walked over, and asked at the same time: "What's wrong? Brynn?"
However, he was too tall and walked to Brynn in two steps. Before Brynn could reply, Katakuri was already standing by the window and saw the scene that Brynn was pointing to.
But after just one glance, he withdrew his gaze and said: "It's okay, by the way, Brynn, why don't you go out to play? I heard from Garrett and the others that you ran out in the afternoon, why are you staying here now? Already?"
"I...well...I want to spend more time with my mother."
Bryn lowered her head, and her face turned red when she thought of the very considerate chef she met in the afternoon. Katakuri instantly realized something was wrong, frowned, and looked at the situation in the distance again.
Seeing the blond young man, his eyes gradually narrowed. If I remember correctly, it was because of this young chef that the Straw Hats were able to enter the main venue, right?
For a moment, Katakuri wanted to go out and intervene in this matter, and take a closer look at the young man, but... it was too late to go out now, and the conflict was destined not to break out.
"Look! There's a horse-catcher over there! Sure enough, even the dance is indispensable for this!"
Outside, when the atmosphere gradually became tense, a clear voice sounded. The interrupted Smoothie turned around and glared, but he could only turn his head back unwillingly.
The girl who held an umbrella at night had nothing to worry about. The key was the man next to her who was wearing a top hat, a dress jacket but no shirt, and a cross sword hanging on his back.
This kind of decoration is very recognizable in this sea, because only one person can wear it like this, and gradually, he is the only one who can wear it like this.
"The greatest swordsman in the world! Hawkeye Joracol Mihawk!"
At this time, there were also exclamations from the crowd. Mihawk's popularity in this sea is not low, and he can even be said to be the most famous person.
At this time, Perona next to him also noticed this scene. When she saw that everyone only paid attention to Mihawk and no one cared about her, she said a little unhappy:
"Mihawk, they only have eyes for you. You must be very proud, right? You must be very proud, right?"
"Noisy."
Mihawk said calmly, Perona's eyes lit up inexplicably, and then she said: "I also think they are very noisy..."
"I am talking about you."
“Mihawk!
!You...hum! "
Perona was furious, but she still followed Mihawk. After all, she was surrounded by strangers, and even if she left, there seemed to be nowhere to go.
Mihawk also looked in the direction of Abel and Smuji at this time, then withdrew his gaze and continued to walk forward, his pace was neither hasty nor slow, and those people in front of him also spontaneously got out of the way. the road.
"Mr. Mihawk!"
Suddenly, there was another voice behind him. A very handsome young man also ran towards this direction, which also caused some shouts, but they were all brighter female voices.
"Mr. Mihawk, long time no see."
Cavendish did not pay attention to his fans, but followed Mihawk's footsteps as if he saw fans of his idol. Mihawk nodded and said:
"You seem to have made some progress. I will give you a chance to challenge me when you have time."
Mihawk's words were very arrogant, but after he said them in his calm voice, they were like the truth. Cavendish's eyes also showed stars as he said:
"Really? In fact, I have wanted to challenge you for a long time, but I have been afraid of disturbing you. If you have time, why don't we just do it for a few days, okay?"
"Is this him? The young man you said is qualified to challenge you."
At this time, another voice sounded, and a green algae head emerged from the crowd, looking at Cavendish dissatisfied.
Before leaving Krayingana Island, Zoro made a formal request to challenge Mihawk, but Mihawk rejected it because Zoro at that time was not even qualified to challenge him.
Because Zoro has failed once before, if he wants to challenge again, he must raise the bar.
When Sauron asked what step he needed to reach before he was qualified to challenge Mihawk again, Mihawk's answer was... There was a young man named Cavendish. If he defeated Cavendish, then Almost qualified.
This is why he rarely raised his fighting spirit when he heard that he was coming to Totland to cause trouble, because this bastard Cavendish lived in Totland, and if he wanted to defeat him, he had to come to Totland.
"You are... I remember, Supernova two years ago."
Cavendish looked at Sauron with a little contempt in his eyes. Since he moved to Totland, he rarely received information from the outside world, but he still remembered Sauron.
Because when I went to Totland two years ago, I read some information, including Luffy's information. Zoro at that time was mentioned in Luffy's information.
However, in Cavendish's eyes, the title of supernova is nothing, and it seems to be different to everyone who talks about it.
Moreover, this young man dared to interrupt his conversation with Mr. Mihawk. Thinking of this, Cavendish even felt a little dissatisfied.
Perona looked at this scene and showed a very weird smile, and said: "Yo~~ Mihawk, look at the bees and butterflies you provoked, they are all going crazy for you~"
"If you can't speak, you don't have to."
Mihawk glanced at Perona speechlessly. This girl was actually good in every aspect, but she had a long mouth.
Cavendish also understood some meaning from Perona's words at this time. He looked at Mihawk and asked: "Mr. Mihawk, do you know this young man?"
Mihawk looked at Sauron, then nodded and said, "This is mine..."
Suddenly, he paused. He had never thought of defining the relationship between him and Sauron. Let's call him master and apprentice... At that time, Sauron was clamoring to defeat him before learning from him.
But he is not a master and apprentice, Sauron did learn swordsmanship from him, and he also imparted some experience to Sauron.
But there is no master-student relationship between the two. For example, Skyler is the same as the child named Gu Yina. Skyler can say without hesitation that Gu Yina is her student, but he and Sauron no.
Because... Mihawk still wants to save face. Zoro has never even officially called him teacher or master. What if he shyly says that Zoro is his disciple, and then Zoro denies him?
Besides master and apprentice, it was difficult for Mihawk to think of a word to describe the relationship between the two, so after a pause, he said again: "He was my swordsmanship partner when I was bored in the past two years."
"He's obviously a stinky uncle, but he's still so arrogant... hmm~"
As Perona said, Mihawk directly raised his hand and placed it on the top of her head, and then pressed it gently. Perona's whole face was twisted together, which was painful, but it did not make her cry out in pain.
But... swordsmanship training...
A green light of jealousy appeared in Cavendish's eyes, and he stared at Sauron. Zoro, who was originally looking fiercely, was startled by Cavendish's gaze at this time, and took half a step back unconsciously.
Sauron had never seen such a look. It was not like the enemies or ferocious beasts he had encountered before. The emotion in Cavendish's eyes at this time was something Sauron could not understand.
Cavendish now wanted to skin Sauron alive and put it on himself, so that he could also be Mihawk's swordsmanship partner.
You know... that's Mr. Mihawk's swordsmanship training partner. If I can compete with Mr. Mihawk, I'll probably be able to figure it out for a while.
Now, there is actually a person who has been able to enjoy this kind of treatment in the past two years. It is really... so enviable!envy!hatred!
Zoro, who was being stared at, couldn't bear it anymore. He raised his hand and pressed it on the hilt of his sword, facing Cavendish's shining green eyes, and said:
"Asshole! With that look in your eyes, are you trying to fight me?!"
"Fighting? Hahaha~ I want to see how strong you, the lucky guy, can be!"
Cavendish also raised his hand and grabbed the hilt of Durandal's sword. In an instant, his eyes turned into circles, but one side was a blue circle and the other was a gold circle.
And it was stable in this state. Seeing this, Mihawk raised his eyebrows and nodded approvingly.
"Squeak~"
Suddenly, a slightly shrill sound of opening the door interrupted the dispute between Sauron and Cavendish. It was not just the sound, but also the overbearing and domineering aura that was so strong that it stirred up painful winds.
However, although this overlord's domineering energy caused changes in the surrounding environment, it only accurately impacted Zoro, Cavendish, Sanji, Abel, and Vinsmoke's family.
At this time, Mihawk looked at the Lord of Totland standing at the gate of the castle and nodded. Katakuri also nodded in response, then restrained his domineering look and said:
"I hope you remember, this is Totland."
After the words fell, everyone nodded involuntarily. Even Abel restrained his own flames at this time and stopped talking.
