Pirate Throne of Salt

Today is the last day that Matthew and his friends decided to stay on this gourmet island. Matthew has no illusions about the chef anymore, because after two days of observation, Matthew feels that this guy is a good one. The nouveau riche and the various consumption methods make Matthew really confused.

How could such a person just live a good life and go sailing with me?

However, just today, Matthew actually received an invitation letter, inviting him to be a judge for the first Puke Island Food Competition, and gave him an offer that Matthew could not refuse. Therefore, Matthew decided that tomorrow Go to sea again!

"Hey, prepare a ticket for the food competition for the two of us!" Shi Sheng said dissatisfied. Shi Sheng was also going to join in the fun of such a grand event.

Although Simon had a look of disdain on his face, in his heart, he actually wanted to take a look.

……

At noon, the competition site has been set up in the center of Puke Island, with hundreds of large and small, colorful hot air balloons floating in the sky.

The central area is a high platform covering an area of ​​several hundred meters. The high platform is divided into four competition areas, corresponding to the competition venues for chefs in the four sea areas.

Yes, you heard it right!Chefs from all over the world, the only sponsor of this food competition, Bassad, spent huge sums of money to invite all kinds of chefs from all over the world to Puke Island for the competition!

There are four tables in each arena above the high platform. The tables are filled with a variety of high-end kitchen utensils. Contestants can choose a variety of ingredients at will, and the logistics staff of the arena can provide guarantees at any time.

Various chefs from all over the world put on their white "shirts" and geared up one by one to prepare for today's competition. There was no way, who made the sponsors of this competition too rich? It consumes so much manpower. The resources are almost ready for an official competition, and I heard that the competition being held this time has even alarmed people in the navy.

Well, there is one among the participating teams, a strong man wearing a navy cloak and a chef's hat. Although this man is wearing the navy's iconic cloak, the sign on his chest shows that he is also here to participate in the competition. .

Among the participating teams, there is another group of people that Matthew is more interested in.

On the high platform, Matthew wore a black and white mask and sat firmly in the seat prepared by the organizer for the judges. There were three unknown judges beside him.

After taking a sip of the expensive red wine on the table, Matthew's eyes began to slowly move towards a person in the team. That person had a broken leg, but he still stood upright. He once was A pirate, Red-footed Zepp is his nickname, a man who once sailed on the Grand Line for a year. Such experience is obviously nothing to Matthew, but the people he cultivated, Matthew will not Forget it, Sanji is also a very popular character after all.

"I announce that the first Puke Island Food Competition begins now!"

Accompanied by a burst of gorgeous fireworks and the host's trembling voice with excitement, the first food competition began.

There are all kinds of chefs participating, including pirates, revolutionary soldiers, etc., but here, they are just ordinary chefs without any privileges.

Matthew first focused his attention on Red-footed Zepp.

The man entered the arena steadily and stood next to the kitchen utensils prepared for him. His opponent was a man wearing a hood. It seemed that the opponent did not want to show his face on this occasion.

Because the competition implements an elimination system, dozens of contestants need to make desserts in the first round to be eliminated. In order to allow Matthew and other four judges to fully experience the contestants’ food, the organizer chose to let them make the last one. Tasting takes place during the round, and the food made in the previous rounds is scored by another judge.

"Okay, let's take a look at this contestant. The dessert he chose is a very ordinary strawberry cake, so let me wait and see what new tricks he can make such an ordinary food."

On the field, the host came to Zhepu's first round of competition and began to introduce the food he was going to make.

I saw Zhepu slicing the strawberries in his hands, and then started making strawberry jam directly on the spot.

"What a boring game..." Simon stretched himself in front of the audience and said slowly.

"I agree, I thought the audience would be able to taste a variety of food in this competition..."

Shi Sheng agreed with Simon's words. Although the two of them only sat for 10 minutes, they couldn't help but were about to leave.

Simon raised his head, and then showed a helpless smile: "Well, take a look, is Matthew asleep?"

"Seems to be……"

……

"Boss, our audience seems to have little enthusiasm..."

The only sponsor of the competition was watching the live broadcast of the competition in the villa, and the secretary beside him whispered in his ear about the situation of the competition.

"Is this thing difficult to handle? The audience is not very enthusiastic, so let's mobilize it!"

"Find a way to arouse the enthusiasm of the people in the audience."

……

"Okay, dear guests coming to this game, since lunch is coming soon, our stadium will hold a competition for the spectators in the stands!"

“That’s it—the Big Eater Competition!!!”

"We have asked all the chefs on the island to prepare enough food and drinks. If you have a big appetite, you can also get wonderful gifts."

"The winner of the Big Eater Contest will receive a prize of [-] million beli!!!"

……

As the competition progressed, more and more viewers felt bored and wondered what good things could happen if a few people cooked.

But when the host said that the audience can also participate, and the prize is [-] million beli... the entire audience in the arena was excited!

"Oh!!!!"

"This is not in vain!!"

"Young ones, let me eat your motherfuck!!"

There were bursts of cheers from the crowd, and no one disliked money.

Especially in the world of One Piece, these civilians have to pay a large amount of taxes every year to bear the so-called "heavenly gold" of the Celestial Dragons. Don't look at the bounty that the Navy has given to many pirates, which is tens of millions and hundreds of millions of beli. Yes, how many ordinary people can get this money? ? ?

Common people in this world probably don't earn more than a million Baileys every year, and most people have never even seen that much money.

Severe polarization is the biggest feature of the One Piece world. In this world, ordinary people are still the majority. Not everyone has Devil Fruit, and not everyone is rich. Most of them are ordinary people.

……

Although many people became excited because of the judges' words, there was still a group of people like this in the audience.

They are a group of navy soldiers wearing casual clothes and sitting neatly. At this moment, these people are the only ones who have not wavered. In fact, this is also understandable. After all, as a navy, if your own officials have not spoken, who dares to move?

The adjutant sitting in the first row asked a bearded man in front of him: "Sir, do we want to compete?"

"Damn! Of course, you are participating. Are you stupid? The bonus is [-] million beli!!! It's enough for my salary for more than ten years."
