The Black Throne of Pirates

Chapter 292 Return (4063 words, two in one)

"It's so powerful, it actually vomited blood from that bloody bread Asaph in one blow."

"The deputy captain is indeed very strong. He is indeed a great pirate with a bounty of 5000 million Baileys."

"Did you see clearly Master Zhepu's move just now? I can't see anything. Am I too weak, woo woo woo~"

In the kitchen, other pirates who were serving as cooks and kitchen assistants had been secretly paying attention to the conversation between Zhepu and Asa. At this time, seeing Asa was suddenly kicked by Zhepu until he vomited blood, they whispered in low voices.

Asa, the blood bread, didn't dare to stay in the kitchen too much after making fun of himself. After making a large amount of bread in front of Zhepu, he left in despair.

The people in the kitchen saw that Asa left without even daring to let go, and the discussion became more heated.

"Hey, let me tell you, the work at hand hasn't been finished yet, hurry up, Mr. Zapp is still waiting."

Suddenly, a sudden childish voice appeared.

The people who had been discussing in low voices turned their heads and saw a blond boy with a handsome face and curly eyebrows holding a small kitchen knife and looking at them with dissatisfaction.

"The adults talk, and the children go."

A pirate working as a kitchen assistant said impatiently when he saw the golden retriever kid.

"That's right, it's just a guy who was picked up by Mr. Zhepu. Now he's not even a trainee crew member, and he's acting like a tiger."

Another little pirate, who looked only twelve or thirteen years old, echoed in a strange way.

"Sanji, have you finished your work? If you finish, then finish the rest for us."

Another pirate said dissatisfied.

Sanji, the future crew member of the Straw Hat Pirates, he and Zapp do have a lot of fate.

Recently, the Kingdom of Germa crossed the Red Earth Continent from the North Sea and came to the East China Sea to fight the autumn wind. Just like in the original plot, Sanji escaped from the Kingdom of Germa with the help of his sister Reiju, and then relied on a little self-taught cooking skills in a small boat. Worked as a cook on a merchant ship.

Perhaps by fate, this small merchant ship met the newly formed Black Claw Pirates on a stormy night.

But this time, the Black Claw Pirates temporarily led by Zhepu did not attack the small merchant ship. Instead, the small merchant ship could not withstand the storm and disintegrated on its own. Sanji was finally rescued by Zhepu fortunately.

In order to repay Zepp for saving his life, Sanji chose to stay.

Because he has a good culinary talent and a good cultivation qualification, and Sanji accidentally revealed his dream, Zhepu has a good impression of Sanji. After getting along for a while, he has privately regarded Sanji as his own. apprentice.

A little ghost got Zhepu's eyes, and this little ghost always pretended to be a tiger, which naturally made some pirates who followed Zhepu very dissatisfied, especially those pirate chefs in the kitchen who thought they were already Zhepu's chef apprentices. Even more so.

Sanji had a hard time when he was a child. In addition to being bullied by his brothers, he was also looked down upon by his father. He was even forced to wear an iron helmet and put in prison. At a young age, his mind has matured.

But now he is still just a seven-year-old golden retriever kid. In addition, he has recently gained the warmth of a father from Zhepu, and he has also secretly learned two-handed kicking, and the child's nature has recovered.

Hearing these lazy pirates taunting him at this time, especially when he heard that he was not even a trainee crew member, Sanji immediately grinned his teeth in anger, like a cat whose tail has been stepped on and frowned, and said angrily : "I'm already a qualified pirate, I'm not a kid who is not a trainee crew."

"Ha~, the brat is the brat, what big words are you talking about, do you believe that I can beat you with one hand?"

The next moment, the little pirate who was only twelve or thirteen years old sneered.

The little pirate is called Garros, on this pirate ship, he is the youngest pirate besides Sanji.

He was brought into the kitchen by Zhepu because he also had a good cooking talent, so after Sanji came, he got more attention from Zhepu, and he couldn't help being jealous, and he always used various methods to embarrass Shanji rule.

Obviously he came first, why didn't Mr. Zhepu treat him like Sanji?
Gallows has been puzzled, for this reason, he is extremely jealous of Sanji.

"I don't believe it."

Seven-year-old Sanji still doesn't know what the aggressive method is. Seeing that Garros looked down on him, he retorted angrily and stuck out his big tongue at Garros.

"Then let's compare, do you dare?"

Gallows saw that Sanji was successfully provoked by himself, then turned his head to look at Zhepu, and found that Zhepu didn't look at this side at all, so he said his ultimate goal.

Sanji agreed without hesitation.

The kitchen is where the chefs fight, and of course no real fight can take place, so the two agreed to have a showdown at the stern of the boat at night.

"Hmph, two brats."

Zapp thought a little amusedly.

The kitchen is not very big, of course he knows about Sanji and Garros, but he doesn't care about this kind of children's affairs as long as no one is killed.

It is true that he has a crush on Sanji, but he will never protect him in everything.

He believes that for a boy to become a real man, it is necessary to suffer while growing up.

Preparing breakfast for hundreds of people required a lot of preparation work. Even with the help of many people, it still took Zhepu nearly two hours to finish everything.

The breakfast is very rich. In addition to sea animal meat as the main meal, there are plenty of fruits and vegetables and wine.

Of course, there are also various types of bread that have been processed to a certain extent.

Asa is a person with bread fruit ability. With him, there is basically no need to worry about food. The only pity is that the bread he makes tastes very ordinary, like chewing plastic. Although it can fill the stomach, it is not very appetizing. .

However, the bread he made is good enough to be used as a raw material. After Zapp's processing, the bread has become an indispensable item in the daily menu of the Black Claw Pirates.

Hundreds of people had breakfast together, which was almost like having a banquet. In addition, Zhepu's cooking was of a high level, and all the pirates ate very happily.

It is definitely a very happy thing to be able to eat a fresh and hot meal on the vast sea.

Therefore, the reason why all the pirates on the ship support Zhepu is not only that Zhepu is strong enough, but also has a lot to do with him mastering the stomachs of the pirates.

"Crow, the food on the boat is almost done. See if there is a place nearby that can provide supplies."

At the side of the largest table in the breakfast banquet, after Zapp ate all his breakfast, he said to Crowe who was reading a book about sailing while eating breakfast slowly like a gentleman.

Since Crowe was brought to the small garden by Barr, and then after the special training provided by Barr, he has completely convinced Barr.

Because he has read books and has the highest level of education, in the Black Claw Pirates, he was entrusted by Barr with the important task of navigator during the period when Barr was not in the pirates temporarily.

It's just that Crowe didn't know anything about navigation before, but he was driven by Barr, so he had to allocate part of his time every day to make up for the navigators. After more than a month of hard work, there were some navigators captured from other ships. Under the guidance of the teacher, he has now initially mastered navigation.

At least here in the East China Sea, Crowe is already a qualified navigator.

"We just passed Orange Island not long ago. According to the current movement, we should be at this position now. The nearest place to have supplies should be here, Orange Town."

Hearing this, Crowe stopped what he was doing, took out a sea chart from his body, and analyzed it.

"Orange Town, what's the situation over there?"

Zapp asked again.

Recently, the Black Claw Pirates have made a lot of noise in the East China Sea. For example, they took action to destroy a certain naval branch base, and plundered several warships and a large amount of supplies. The few warships that were seized later were sold on the black market. After selling it, there is only one left to be used as a pirate ship.

Attacking the naval base and using the snatched naval warships as pirate ships is undoubtedly a big slap in the face of the East China Sea Navy.

Therefore, recently, the navy of the East China Sea has been chasing the Black Claw Pirates like a mad dog, and the strength of the navy that came to pursue it is getting stronger and stronger.

"Don't worry, there is no naval base near Orange Town. It's just an ordinary town with poor defense. We can play whatever we want."

Crowe knew what Zhepu was talking about, put his hands on the eyes on the bridge of his nose, and smiled slightly.

"That's good, but there's no need for plundering, just fair trade. It's meaningless to rob the wealth of these ordinary people. If you want to rob, just rob those in the same industry, and those navy."

Zapp nodded, then shook his head again.

Chivalry, this is the spirit that Zapp has always insisted on. He really doesn't have much interest in bullying the weak.

And that's what Barr asked him to do.

Therefore, the source of the Black Claw Pirates' wealth is basically from the merchant ships and pirate ships encountered at sea. When replenishing supplies, they will also trade with others fairly.

Also, due to Barr's confession, the Black Claw Pirates rarely kill people.

Of course, hostile pirates and navies are exceptions.

Therefore, in the East China Sea, the reputation of the Black Claw Pirates is actually not bad. Now the merchants and pirates in the East China Sea basically know that if they encounter the Black Claw Pirates at sea, as long as they give up resistance and pay a certain amount of property, they will be fine. Can survive.

"Okay, I have no objection, but it's estimated that many of those guys can't hold it anymore."

Crowe nodded indifferently, and then whispered to Zapp. Behind the reflective eyes, those sharp eyes looked at some pirates on the ship who started to show their true colors due to drunkenness.

"Master Crowe is right. There have been a lot more pirates who have come to me for hypnotherapy recently."

Zang Gao at the side took off his pair of star glasses, revealing a pair of bead eyes, nodded and said.

These days, no pirate has a few lives in his hands, and almost all of them have participated in plundering.

And most pirates will basically have a morbid state of addiction after tasting plunder, bullying the weak, and being able to dominate the fate of others.

If they go through this many times, these pirates will completely degenerate into out-and-out human scum and sea pests.

This kind of pirate can no longer turn back. It is impossible for him to be a docile sheep again. The tyrannical factor hidden in their bones does not allow them to do so.

"If you can't help it, you have to endure it. If anyone breaks the captain's rules, you know what to do."

Zhe Pu said with a blank face, and then stuck a fork on a piece of sea animal meat.

Crowe and Zango naturally nodded in understanding.

Then Zapp shifted his gaze to Asa who was eating at the same table.

When Yasa saw this, his heart trembled, and the part that was kicked by Zhepu not long ago felt a dull pain again, so he nodded quickly and said, "If something happens, I will take care of it."

After half an hour, breakfast was over.

At this time, Zhepu came out of the kitchen with food from a dining car, and then entered the captain's cabin.

Seeing this, some pirates on the ship couldn't help talking.

This kind of situation actually happens every day. Zhepu will deliver a large amount of food to the captain's cabin at fixed times every day. Many pirates on board have long been familiar with it. Many people speculate that the people in the captain's cabin are people they have never seen. the captain himself.

Many pirates have asked Zapp this question as well, but Zapp has never answered.

In fact, the pirates' instincts were correct.

The person who can make Zhepu deliver the food himself on a regular basis every day is of course Barr.

But that's not just Baal's body, it's just a flesh and blood clone of Baal stored on the pirate ship.

Barr had two purposes for keeping this flesh and blood clone here.

One is to leave a hole card for the Black Claw Pirates. Although the East China Sea is known as the weakest sea, whether it is a pirate or a navy, the strength is not strong, but it is difficult to guarantee that there will be some unexpected characters, such as Huoshaoshan. The elite of the Navy Headquarters who is strong enough to beat most of the pirates in the East China Sea.

Of course, if you accidentally meet Karp who came back to see his grandson, you can only resign yourself to fate.

The other is to leave a stable coordinate for the Black Claw Pirates, so that Barr can use this to correctly find the Black Claw Pirates.

"Captain, why are you awake?"

After pushing the dining car into the captain's cabin, Zhepu said in surprise when he saw a man sitting and reading a book inside.

Although Zhepu didn't know what ability Baal used to do it, he knew that the flesh and blood clone that Baal left here was usually in a deep sleep state. Basically, except for him to wake it up in person to supplement the necessary food and nutrition, Neither will wake up.

Today, I actually woke up on my own initiative, which is simply too abnormal.

"Ah, because I'll be back soon."

Seeing Zhepu coming in, Barr smiled slightly.

"Is it true? Captain, when you come back this time, you probably won't leave."

When Zhepu heard this, he was overjoyed and said expectantly.

During this period of time in Donghai, because the opponents he encountered were all scumbags, he was really bored to the point of explosion, and there was no strong person to guide him. He only relied on his own exploration, and his strength improved very slowly.

To be honest, he wished that Barr would come back soon and take him to the great route.

"Well, we won't be leaving for a while, so let's make a fuss." Barr nodded, showing a kind smile.
