Yang Tao, with Alvida, drove the small wooden boat to the sea restaurant, where a rich aroma of food filled the entire large ship.
Patty, a chef at Baratie, immediately came over with a smile and respectfully said, "Most respected sir, you've arrived! Our Baratie restaurant is at your service."
Patty's attitude could be described as humble, his face full of fawning smiles.
The main reason was that Yang Tao was truly willing to spend; every night he would have them deliver a large amount of food to the island, and he paid very promptly.
"Patty, it's just the two of us today. Just find us a suitable spot."
Patty quickly nodded and said, "No problem, please follow me..."
With that, he led Yang Tao and Alvida into the restaurant. Today, a luxury cruise ship was docked, so Baratie had quite a few guests.
Under Patty's guidance, the two quickly arrived at a window-side table, from which they could see the 9527 warship not far away.
"Sir, what would you like today?"
Yang Tao looked at Patty's somewhat comical face, extended his hand, and flicked out a shining gold coin, saying, "Look at this. Still the same thing, specialty. What I want is specialty. You can keep the ordinary dishes for yourselves. Money is not an issue."
The gold coin arced through the air and landed precisely in Patty's palm.
"Alright, sir, rest assured, you'll be satisfied."
Alvida, on the side, scanned the entire restaurant, looking for Luffy, but found nothing. Seeing Patty about to leave, she showed an alluring smile and asked, "Patty, have you seen a kid with a straw hat?"
Patty stopped, "Straw Hat Kid? Are you talking about the kid who attacked our boss? Hmph, that guy is in the boss's room."
"The boss will definitely punish that kid severely."
Alvida: "..."
Yang Tao naturally remembered the plot here and waved his hand, saying:
"Patty, go to the back kitchen and give some instructions. Oh, and help me find some nuts. I'm going to feed my bird."
The bird was naturally the Blue Bird perched on his shoulder.
After being tamed, the Blue Bird could stay on its owner's shoulder like a parrot in a game. Most importantly, no matter what movements Yang Tao made, the Blue Bird would not fall from his shoulder, unless he wanted it to come down.
"Little Blue, how do you feel about this world?"
"I don't know... Master, do you need me to help you develop followers?"
Jerry, now the Blue Bird, still remembered things from before being tamed, but Yang Tao was its master. Even though it knew its mind was affected, it couldn't muster a single thought of rebellion, nor even the idea of breaking free from this mental control.
It was strange, yet perfectly logical.
"Forget it. People constantly yelling about salvation, mercy, and so on... just thinking about it gives me a headache."
The Blue Bird tilted its head slightly, looking at Yang Tao. Isn't it a great thing to have people praying every day?
But if the master doesn't want it, then so be it.
Hope the nuts later are cooked. Cooked ones taste better.
The now-useless Blue Bird was living a life of leisure.
"Hey, is this how your restaurant tries to fool customers with food? What's with this bug?"
Just as Yang Tao was about to play with his bird, a provocative voice rang out from the restaurant, instantly drawing the attention of all the customers.
Yang Tao tilted his head slightly to look at a table not far away, only to see Sanji, cigarette in mouth, standing by that table, chuckling, "Excuse me, sir."
"I don't really know anything about bugs..."
Hearing Sanji's words, the people in the restaurant couldn't help but laugh, and even Alvida found it somewhat amusing. Yang Tao, however, was a bit confused about what the people in this One Piece world found so funny.
The Navy Headquarters Captain, feeling provoked, could no longer hold back. He stood up and slammed his fist heavily on the table.
"What the hell!"
Sanji, his face grim, crouched down to look at the spilled soup, his expression becoming incredibly dark as he said, "If there's a bug, can't you just remove it and drink it? This is soup that took three days and three nights to carefully remove the bitterness and stew..."
Iron Fist Fullbody, the Navy Captain, raised his foot and stepped on Sanji's hand, which was reaching for the soup.
"Isn't your attitude a bit too arrogant? I'm a customer, a paying customer!"
The woman dining with Fullbody quickly stepped forward to dissuade him, "Mr. Fullbody, let it go."
"So annoying!"
Fullbody directly used force to throw the beauty away. The woman lost control of her body, stumbled backward, and then crashed towards Yang Tao.
Yang Tao: "..."
Hey! I didn't even move!
He knew that no matter which world he went to, he would inexplicably get involved in some things, but now he hadn't done anything, just simply watching the show.
Is watching a show against the law?
He reached out and supported the beauty's waist, absorbing the force from her body.
Yang Tao showed a gentlemanly smile and said, "Beautiful lady, don't go forward in such a dangerous place. Just pull up a chair and sit down to watch the show..."
"Th-thank you."
The woman's face flushed slightly, and she quickly expressed her gratitude.
But in that moment.
Sanji and Fullbody had already started fighting. The Navy Headquarters Captain was no match for Sanji; after only a brief exchange, Fullbody's face was already covered in blood, and his so-called Iron Fist hung limply.
Sanji gripped Fullbody's chin, the cigarette still in his mouth.
"On the sea, crossing a chef only leads to death..."
Yang Tao did not agree with this statement. When Sanji and Zeff were stranded on a deserted island back then, what good was being a chef? It was only by relying on passing large ships that they got to where they are today, wasn't it?
All professions are equal; there is no high or low, noble or humble.
Of course, a captain like him, who can moonlight as a chef, farmer, doctor, swordsman, sniper, remodeler, and so on, naturally has an extremely high status.
Hearing the commotion in the restaurant, the busy chefs from the back kitchen also came out into the dining area.
Patty, who was leading them, immediately moved to stop Sanji's actions.
But just then, the restaurant's ceiling suddenly collapsed, and two figures fell from the ceiling.
It was Red Foot Zeff, the owner of Baratie restaurant, and the protagonist Luffy.
Red Foot Zeff's forehead was bandaged, but he paid no attention to the minor injury, reaching up to adjust his two-meter-long hat.
Looking at Sanji, who was arguing with Patty, he walked forward and directly punched Sanji in the face.
"Get back to work!"
Fullbody, the Navy Captain, struggled to his feet from the ground, muttering, "The waiter is like this... the chef is like this, and even the boss is like this!"
Bang...
Red Foot Zeff didn't listen to his nonsense at all, directly kicking him away and saying, "You get out too!"
But just then, a Marine pushed open the restaurant door and walked in.
"Captain Fullbody, it's bad, Krieg's subordinates have escaped..."
"What?"
Fullbody's face changed drastically. Other things were fine; even him getting beaten was a small problem, but Krieg's subordinates escaping from his hands, that was a disaster.
Just as he was about to ask some questions.
Bang, a gunshot.
The Marine soldier standing at the door fell to the ground.
The pirate Gin lowered the flintlock gun in his hand and walked step by step into the restaurant, found an empty seat, and plopped down on a chair, saying, "This is a restaurant, right? No matter what kind of food, hurry up and bring it to me..."
