The blood of the pirate

"I'm so excited, the food festival is about to start again."

"Yes, we can eat a lot of delicious food again."

"It's so lucky that this is the city of food." Rose happened to be hungry, and it was great to be in the city of food.

Ross randomly found a brother and asked: "Brother, when is this food festival?"

The brother said: "It's tomorrow, but you're lucky to be here. This time it's not only a food festival, but also a chef competition."

"Chef competition, do you want to bring a chef back? Although there are meals cooked by Jaffe, it is better to eat other things occasionally." Ross was thinking.

"Then let's see who is number one tomorrow. Hehe, number one will come with me." Rose smiled and was about to find a place to stay and wait for tomorrow's game.

Early the next morning, Ross was out on the street.

Unexpectedly, there were so many people on the street now, and it was so crowded. There were food stalls on both sides of the road, which seemed to bring together food made from cooking methods from all over the world. It made people's noses flutter and their mouths water.

"Ah, I'm so hungry. Hurry up and have a big meal." Ross couldn't help drooling when he smelled the smell.

But he found that he had no money, but it didn't matter. Ross remembered that he was still a Shichibukai. Did the Shichibukai need money to eat? The answer was of course no.

Ross started eating at every stall. When asked about the money, Ross directly said that he was a Shichibukai. Although Ross disappeared for three years and there was no news about him in the sea, the Shichibukai will still be remembered. .

They had no choice but to hold their noses and admit defeat.

Two hours later, when Ross was full and ready for a walk to digest.

Telephone bug loudspeakers scattered throughout the island suddenly started ringing.

"Welcome all pirates, bounty hunters, merchants, and civilians from far and wide to visit the gourmet city of Puke"

"The triennial chef competition is about to begin, and it will be held in the central food court of the island."

"There are a total of 16 contestants participating this time. They are all the top senior chefs on the island. Let us welcome them." The loudspeaker continued to spit out words, and the explanation was impassioned. After Ross heard it, he hurried over. After all, how could such a thing happen? How can he be missing?

"Yoshi, I'm here."

Rose pushed her way through the crowd and headed toward the food court.

The Central Square of the Food City was now surrounded by a sea of ​​people. Ross walked along and estimated that there were tens of thousands of people at least, and more onlookers were approaching.

"There are so many people." Ross sighed as he looked at the crowd.

The atmosphere was noisy and lively, and they all looked intently at the square.

"But the atmosphere is really good." Ross murmured excitedly, feeling the atmosphere.

Then, he walked to the front row to watch the game.

In the open square, there are sixteen chef seats with all kinds of pots and pans, and a dazzling array of spices from all over the world.

Deep-sea fish, mountain beasts, birds in the sky, meat and vegetable combinations, red cases and white cases are all dazzling.

"It's great. With so many ingredients and tools, they will be able to make perfect dishes. Come on, I feel hungry again." Rose saw this scene and felt hungry again.

Sixteen men and women wearing chef hats and white chef uniforms entered one after another. They were tall, short, fat, and thin, both male and female. The oldest one looked like his hair had turned gray, but he was still full of energy, while the youngest one was about fourteen or fifteen years old. Beautiful young girl.

On the rostrum, a host wearing a suit and a mustache shouted excitedly with a loudspeaker phone. "Welcome everyone again. Now let's invite the judges of this competition to appear."

"The judges are right. I can be a judge. It's not difficult for a King Shichibukai to be a judge." Rose's mouth curved.

"and many more"

When the host heard Rose's words, he looked at Rose in surprise.

He didn't expect that someone would find trouble at this time.

"Wait a minute, I want to be a judge too."

"Oh, that's it. I'm sorry, sir, the judges have already chosen." The host breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Rose's words. It's just that he wasn't here to cause trouble.

"It's okay, let's add one more person. I am Rose the Blood Eagle, one of the Seven Martial Arts." Rose began to introduce his identity.

"What Shichibukai?" The audience around the square heard Rose's words and kept screaming.

"You said you are a Blood Eagle, one of the Shichibukai." The host was also very surprised.

Since Rose became a Shichibukai three years ago, he disappeared on the sea, but his position has still been retained, which also leads to everyone still remembering this person.

"Yes, I am Rose the Blood Eagle. It's okay to be a judge."

Ross took out the previous wanted poster and showed it to them.

The host looked at it and found that it was true, so he agreed to join the judging panel.

"Then let me invite all the judges to come on stage."

As soon as he finished speaking, there were four ordinary-looking gourmets sitting next to the podium, with an enigmatic look on their faces, as if it was a supreme honor for a chef's food to be praised by them.

And Rose also walked to their side.

After they knew Rose's identity, they didn't dare to show such arrogance and began to be submissive.

Although the Shichibukai is a government department, they are still pirates in the final analysis, and offending pirates is obviously not a good choice.

A few minutes later, the host said with excitement: "Then let me announce that this Gourmet City Chef Competition has officially begun."

"boom"

Sixteen chefs burned with passion instantly and put all their energy into making delicious food.

The pleasing cooking method and the magical knife skills blossomed in an instant, making Ross obsessed with it.

He found that the knife skills of these chefs were all unique and could be used in combat. One of them was also a fruit user. He could transform butter to make it smell more fragrant.

"What a great place. I'm starting to like it here." Ross said with a smile, smelling the aroma in the air.

"As long as you like it." The judge next to him said with a smile.

"Oh, it's really hard to make a choice. This fruit-powered user is pretty good. He can cook and fight. This girl is pretty good too. She has excellent skills and can be trained into a swordsman. What should I do?" Rose looked at the girl and The young man fell into deep thought.

At this time, the host began to introduce these chefs.

"Let me introduce these players to you."

"The first chef here is a chef from a Michelin three-star restaurant, Michelin Clermont, who is 70 years old this year."
