Pirate's Steel Chain Finger

Chapter 373 The Straw Hat Pirates Appear

After the rain, the sea returned to calm.

A small Caravel with a cute sheep's head on the prow is swaying among the waves. The sails that were furled before are slowly opening, and the sails are painted with skulls wearing straw hats.

There is no doubt that this is a pirate ship.

A group of people were lying on the deck, looking exhausted.After a long time, a not-so-tall black-haired boy sat up from the wet deck, touched the straw hat on his head and laughed loudly:

"Hee hee hee! It was almost overturned by the storm!"

"Luffy! How dare you say it!" The beautiful girl with long lavender hair tied behind her head grabbed the collar of the boy named Lufei, and poked the latter's forehead vigorously: "If it weren't for you If we insist on taking the helm willfully, how can we be caught in a storm and cannot escape!"

"Uh...uh...Karina, don't poke my forehead...it doesn't hurt though."

Luffy's forehead was dented like rubber by the purple-haired girl, and he grinned and said, "My level of steering is not a problem at all. I can only say that there is a problem with the way Sauron is pointing."

"You know that Green Algae is a super big road idiot, but you still dare to let him lead the way?" Karina was even more angry: "You didn't say this when you let me board the boat as a [musician] A ship without a navigator!"

At this time, a head with short green hair popped up from the side: "Does anyone want to ask for directions?"

"No one asked you!" Luffy and Karina shouted at the same time.

There is another person still lying on the deck. This person has black curly hair, wears a headscarf and goggles, and has a thin body that looks fragile. He also has a strange long nose. He muttered to himself in a daze: "A pirate group without a navigator... What evil did I do to get into this kind of pirate group with a fever..."

At this time, the slender and fiery Karina made a decision: "Until I find a regular navigator, I will hand over the navigation of this ship to me. You and Sauron are not allowed to intervene!"

The green-haired young man named Zoro had fully opened the sails at this time, tied up the cables and sat down beside the crowd: "It doesn't matter, we need a cook more than a navigator, right?"

"That's right! It's too cruel to eat dry bread and bacon every day!" Long Nose jumped up from the deck.

"Oh, Usopp, you didn't faint." Luffy pinched his nostrils and looked cute.

"Thanks to you, almost!" Usopp made a grimace, then shook his long nose: "The composition of our ship is really biased. Captain, swordsman, musician, sniper... the most important thing None of the navigators, cooks and doctors."

"There are also boatmen." Karina added: "If it's just the East China Sea, I can barely serve as a navigator, but I heard that the climate of the Great Sea Route is completely different from that of the East China Sea. We must find high-level navigators to join. "

Usopp sat on the deck with his arms folded and nodded in a serious manner, then asked curiously: "Speaking of...Karina, why did you get recruited by Luffy?"

Karina looked sad: "I was a resident singer at the tavern in Orange Town, and I made quite a lot of money including tips and drinks. I didn't expect the Bucky Pirates to invade and occupy Orange Town. My Singer career also shattered. Luffy and Zoro arrived just as 'Joker' Bucky was rampaging through town and clashed with Bucky's red-nosed idiot..."

"Obviously you instigated it." Sauron, who was sitting on the mast with his hands behind his head, couldn't help reminding.

"Whispering!" Karina yelled at Zoro, and continued: "After we defeated the Bucky Pirates together, we happened to meet the Navy coming, and I was hunted down as an accomplice of the Straw Hat Pirates, so I just I can agree to Luffy's invitation and join."

Usopp wiped his long nose: "It turns out that Sauron joined earlier than you. What about you, Sauron, how did you join?"

"I..." Sauron mulled over his thoughts for a while and was about to speak when Luffy interrupted him with a smile: "Sauron, a big idiot, wanted to join the hunting union, but got lost after going out to sea, and finally ran away. When we arrived in Shields Town, we had a big fight with the local navy captain and the idiot son. The idiot son was so bad that he wanted to kill Sauron, so Zoro and I teamed up and knocked them all out of the air!"

"...What a mess." Usopp said he didn't understand at all.

grunt-

The four people's stomachs sounded at the same time, except for Luffy, their faces darkened, and they had to face the moldy dry bread and the hard bacon jerky again.But Luffy doesn't care, as long as there is something to eat.

Karina was about to get up and go to the kitchen to have a look, when she suddenly stopped, squinted her eyes and looked at the distant sea: "Wait, what is that?"

Everyone looked back, and saw a strange-looking "ship" looming on the sea in the distance.

This is a giant two-masted sailboat with a three-story structure. The bow and stern are shaped like fish heads and tails, which looks very grand.

"The sea restaurant 'Barati'? Why did you run here without a trace?"

Karina looked surprised, and then realized that she might have been disturbed by the previous huge storm and brought to the sea here by the storm and waves.

"Dining room?"

Lu Fei was keenly aware of the key words, and his eyes flickered instantly: "Is this a restaurant? A restaurant on the sea? So cool!!"

As he said that, he was about to run to steer the ship and sail in the direction of the restaurant ship, but Karina stopped him immediately, with a flustered expression: "Luffy, you can't go."

"Ah—————?" Luffy dragged his voice, his face full of reluctance.

"It is rumored that the sea restaurant Baratti has something to do with 'Coral'." Karina said with a straight face: "It's not that there are no pirates who want to make trouble there to seize the ship, but without exception, they all died unexpectedly. Over time, in recent years Few pirates will patronize that restaurant."

"Coral?" Sauron's arms stiffened, as if he remembered something.

"We don't intend to make trouble there, just have a meal! Right? Right?" Luffy didn't listen at all, but just looked at Karina expectantly.The latter was directly defeated by his eager puppy eyes, so he had to let him go. Who made Luffy the captain?

When they sailed the ship near the sea restaurant Baratti, they found that there was a small naval warship moored there, and it seemed that they also came to Baratti to enjoy the food.

Karina is not too worried about this, because Baratti is a famous "neutral zone", who dares to make trouble here and ask those fierce combat chefs to agree or not, even if the navy meets pirates here They will also turn a blind eye and close one eye, at least not until they leave this sea area.The bounty hunters are bound by the rules, and they will not do anything casually here. Tourists can enjoy delicious food here without worrying about their lives.

After opening the door, you will see the elegantly decorated first-floor restaurant, which is almost full of seats. The waiters shuttle between the tables with plates, and introduce the restaurant's recommended menus for the day to customers in a gentle and low voice.Bottles of fine wine were kept refrigerated in piles of ice, the aroma of food filled the hall, and the sound of knives and forks was particularly pleasant to the ears of the hungry.

Who would have thought here or at sea?

Luffy's eyeballs were almost popping out. If Zoro and Karina hadn't held him tightly, he might have rushed in to find a seat.

"Welcome, all customers. This is Baratti, the sea restaurant. No matter who comes, we will serve you the most delicious meals."

The blond curly-browed young man in a black suit leaned slightly with one hand on his chest, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth with a cigarette in his mouth.But before this steady look lasted for two seconds, his gaze was firmly attracted by Karina, and his right eye, which was not covered by the blond hair, exaggeratedly turned into a peach heart:

"Ah! The sea! Thank you for allowing me to meet her today! Ah! Love! Please make fun of me who is suffering in pain! If I can be with her, even if it is to become a pirate or a demon, I will And willingly!"

First, there was a sour singing opera, and then the blond young man gracefully lifted Karina's slender hands and led her to an empty dining table and opened the seat for her, saying softly:

"The dishes recommended for you today are assorted fruit salad and Grand Marnier liqueur, I hope you like it, Your Royal Highness. Oh, please forgive me for not introducing myself, I am here Sanji, the sous chef."

"You are really a gentleman, as elegant as a prince." Karina's voice was as melodious as a lark, which is her capital as a top singer: "But Your Royal Highness..."

"Yes, please tell me."

"The dishes here may be a little expensive for others..." Karina flipped through the recipes, then looked at Sanji shyly.

"Of course it's free!" Sanji replied without saying a word.

Zoro focused his attention on Sanji's waist, and asked, "The one on your waist is..."

Luffy and Usopp looked over and found that there was a beautiful calfskin gun bag tied around the waist of Sanji's black suit, and a gorgeous black revolver was quietly placed in it.

"The [Hunter]'s gun?" Karina was shocked after seeing a lot of things.

Zoro held the three samurai swords around his waist, with an excited expression on his face: "Only a formal [Hunter] can have this style of revolver... Are you a [Hunter]?"

Sanji smiled slightly and waved his hands: "Aren't you pirates? Don't worry, the origin of my revolver is aboveboard, but I am not [Hunter], but the sous chef of this sea restaurant Baratti, so try to Don't worry."

"Oh? This kind of revolver will be specially made for each [Hunter], and each has its own serial number. Do you want to say that this gun was given to you by someone else?" Sauron did not relax his vigilance, it was because [Hunter] ]’s name is too terrifying, every [Hunter] is said to be a terrifyingly strong monster.

Sanji laughed when he heard the words:
"You're right, it was indeed given to me by someone else."
