[One Piece] Almighty staff

Liya learned about the food culture of Beihai through books when she was studying, but Mr. Haku said that it was all nonsense: "You can read books like this kind of books from the publishing houses affiliated to the world government as fairy tales. To understand the real folk customs, you still have to read books compiled by this old publishing house 10 years ago."

The little old man stood on the wooden ladder and took out a book with a red hardwood cover: "Remember, you must first read what this guy wrote before reading travel notes. What he wrote may not be comprehensive, but it is absolutely true. .”

"But having said that, Beihai's crispy bread with pea soup is really delicious!"

Mr. Haku's nostalgic gaze when he said this was still very clear in Leah's mind. When the proprietress brought the soup bowl, she was suddenly a little dazed.

Drake, who was sitting opposite her, rubbed the spoon with his fingertips a few times, and asked softly, "Is the food here not to Miss Leah's appetite?"

The cheap and high-quality small restaurant in the civilian area is an old shop that has been in operation for many years. The old and heavy solid wood tables and chairs are wiped by the diligent owner every day. Under the firelight of the fireplace, there is a smooth and gentle luster, which makes the guests feel comfortable and relaxed. .

Liya came back to her senses and said with a smile: "No such thing, I just suddenly remembered that a teacher once praised Beihai's pea soup. So I have been looking forward to having a chance to taste it since a long time ago. Thank you Highly recommended, Drexan."

The boy's face immediately burned; "No...no, I want to thank Miss Leah for inviting me to dinner, it's too expensive for you"

He lowered his voice as he spoke, and Lili, who was standing next to his soup bowl with a full belly, pulled his little head out of the bowl and gave him a "chirp" in dissatisfaction.

Liya laughed softly: "It's not me, it's Lili who used the pocket money he saved to treat you to dinner. He said he wanted to make friends with you."

Drake seemed to be more relaxed towards the little goose, and his tone could be heard with a hearty spirit: "Is that so? It's really rude. Thank you very much for your hospitality, Mr. Lili."

Lili: "Jiu Jiu Jiu"

Leah translated: "He told you to eat quickly, you're welcome."

Drake: "...OK."

It has been a while since the meal time, and the small restaurant has just sent away the dinner guests, so it is very quiet at this time.In order to save lamp oil, the fat proprietress only placed oil lamps by the tables with guests.

Shrouded in a hazy halo, chewing soft and sweet bread in his mouth, the steaming bowl of soup moisturised his face that was dry and flaky by the wind, and sitting across from him was a young woman with gentle eyebrows and a soft voice, "Jiu Jiu Jiu" The fluffy goose that stopped was a small ball, and the chubby belly looked soft and warm.

Drake felt almost in a trance like he was trapped in a giant ball of cotton.

Is this scene real?

Drake lowered his eyes and carefully finished the food in front of him bite by bite.

It was the best meal he had eaten since leaving the navy with his father.

After putting down the spoon and looking up, Drake found that the fluffy goose had already run to his hand and sat down, with its fluffy belly tightly next to his wrist, a pair of blue eyes staring at him brightly, full of expectation.

The girl with a soft smile put the comic book in front of them, and said helplessly, "Okay, okay, let's take a look."

Like pampering them both at the same time, Drake thought quietly.

Lili chirped, and the little wings patted Drake's wrist anxiously. The touch of plush full of vitality made Drake feel soft.

He responded in a low voice, stretched out his hand and opened the brand-new comic book that still exuded the aroma of printing ink, Lili jumped to the inside of his arm, nestled comfortably against his wrist, stretched out his little paw, and pressed it Somewhere in the album, "tweet chirp chirp".

Drake looked intently, and continued: "Oh, spark red is really good, his battle suit is not afraid of fire, and because the color is very eye-catching, he is the most handsome when transforming!"

Lili: "Jiu Jiu Jiu"

Drake: "The capstan green earphones must have other functions. I think it may have to wait until the desperate situation to show it."

Lili: "Jiu Jiu Jiu"

Drake: "I think the technical shoes are a bit ugly, but they have a considerable energy storage capacity and look very light. They are practical."

Liya flipped through the cookbook, and from time to time raised her eyes and smiled to look at the two boys who were chatting enthusiastically even though they didn't understand the language.

The boy with deep blue eyes finally exudes youthful vigor and happiness like Lili.

From the first time we met, Drake kept his head down. He was tall and tall, and his broad arms, which were still thin but already manly, were deliberately retracted, facing her, a weak girl whom he met for the first time. Sometimes, he always looks ashamed of doing something wrong.

Kelia could clearly see that Drake's eyes were clear when he raised his head, and his walking steps were very steady and sonorous.

The exposed lack of confidence... Liya guessed that it was probably because of some unspeakable changes in the family.In this world, the plight faced by most civilians is nothing more than lack of financial resources to live in difficulties, or personal safety cannot be guaranteed.

No matter what kind of boy Drake met, facing such a boy, Leah thought that asking rashly would hurt the other's self-esteem, so she chose not to mention the other's private affairs.

Besides, in the final analysis, this boy with brown hair and blue eyes was just a stranger she met during the trip, and all the fate between them was probably just the friendship of this meal.

The proprietress brought home-made liqueur, and the chubby aunt was covered with the aroma and heat of toast, with a hearty smile on her ruddy face: "The little girl is not from Beihai, isn't she? Such a beautiful and fluffy dress can't stop the night in Beihai It’s the wind. Let’s drink a few cups of sweet wine to warm up your body! Auntie specially gave you the lowest alcohol content, so you won’t get drunk after drinking a pot!”

Before the aunt left, she scratched Lili's little belly very rarely, and said in an appreciative tone: "This little goose is really fat, obedient and fierce. It will be the most reliable to watch the house when it grows up. If it is a breeding goose, it must be Many little mother geese like it!"

Leah kept smiling calmly: "Yes."

Lili is obsessed with comics, and has a very good temper. He didn't hear what the aunt said at all, and even took the initiative to puff out his belly for the aunt to enjoy, so she masturbated and left early.

Thanks to the warm and friendly proprietress, Liya poured wine for the two boys who were addicted to comic books.She tasted it herself and it was not too strong, and she could taste the sweetness of the grains, so it didn't matter for Lili to drink a little.

Don't think she doesn't know that Mr. Zefa would occasionally drink his beer and shochu with Lili, and she just thought that the two of them had a sense of proportion, and she just forgot it every time.

Lily Jiujiu was thirsty, he took a sip from the small wine glass, and continued to Jiujiu with Drake.Leah could see his excitement, and felt a little emotional.

Sakaski usually does not accompany Lili to read stories or comics. He is really busy. Occasionally, when he is not busy, he communicates with Lili on the training ground. Vigorous practice is his mode of communication;

Zefa has a stable personality. He prefers to read political news or train students rather than comics. Even if he accompany Lili to read comics, he is not involved. He still does not know that "Poison Fan" is a female character, and he is not the same person as "Spark Red" ;

Rossindi is also very interested in these things, but his aesthetic point is completely different from that of Lili. He once said that the "spark red" top and the "winch green" trousers match well...

Lu Qi is a little genius of strengthism, and he is very dismissive of "this kind of external power enhanced by technology".

So Lili was obviously very happy to meet such a like-minded partner as Drake.

The two of them almost put their eyes on the picture book. Liya didn't remind Lili, but just adjusted the position of the oil lamp and continued to look down at the recipe.

The comic book has only a few dozen pages, and normally it can be finished in ten minutes, but she is still prepared for a long wait.

Boys discussing the transformation of Superman is just like girls discussing lipstick numbers, and they can't finish talking for a while.

The diet in Beihai seems to focus on the original flavor. Most of the soups are thick and mellow, and the overall taste is more light.

Leah and Lili both like the flavor of the food here, and she wants to make some when she goes back, so that Sakalski can try it.

General Sakaski likes spicy dishes and white rice very stubbornly, but he is not picky when he doesn't have them.Liya has never given up on letting him get in touch with more food. At present, under the spicy dishes and white rice, she has successfully planted casserole soup and lo mei for Mr. General.

Having said that, this man has a tricky tongue, and it is very troublesome to make his favorite food.

Leah complained about the guardian in her heart, and Drake suddenly called her: "Miss Leah."

Liya's face remained unchanged, she raised her head and responded with a smile: "Yes?"

The boy's deep and thin face showed a serious expression: "I will continue to pay attention to turning Li Lijun into such a white-eyed person. But my actions are not free, so I suggest you ask People go there..."

He paused, and said, "I'll draw a map for you. That place has the largest black market in Beihai, and many rare items and information can be found there."

Drake asked the boss to borrow a pen, and lowered his head to draw a picture: "That place is not far from here, but the exact location is very secret. I just... found out the approximate location by accident."

The last stroke was made, and the paper was pulled away from the side. A cold man in a windbreaker who appeared behind him at some point carefully looked at the simple but detailed map: "This is really helpful, kid."

Drake felt a chill down his spine instantly, his muscles tensed, and his hand subconsciously touched his waist, where a dagger he used for self-defense was pinned.This is due to the instinct born when facing an opponent who has no chance of winning.

He stood up quickly, pressed one hand against the corner of the table, and stood in front of the man in an unnatural posture, trying to separate Lili and Liya behind him.

The man didn't take his precautions seriously, he folded the map neatly and put it in his breast pocket: "Don't be nervous, I'm currently the guardian of Li Lijun and Miss Liya."

Lili poked out a small head from behind Drake: "Chirp?"

Taking a half step back, Bogart left a safe space for the tense young man in front of him, and nodded to Lili: "It seems that I have made a good friend, Mr. Lili."

Leah stroked the corner of her skirt and got up: "Has Mr. Bogart had dinner?"

Bogart: "Going to do some intelligence work, so it's not there yet."

Leah walked to Drake: "Then let's eat something here, the pea soup in this store is delicious."

The slender fingers pinched the corner of the boy's clothes, and gently tugged: "Mr. Drake, sit down quickly."

However, Drake's body became more rigid without anyone noticing.

After Bogart took his seat, he stiffly returned to his seat, and Leah naturally sat beside him.

In the warm and comfortable restaurant, Drake's palms were almost sweating.

His clothes were too thin, so thin that he could easily feel the warmth of the girl next to him with a punch away.The corners of the soft aqua blue skirt were gathered around his legs, and just like that, a small corner hung on his trouser legs.

She turned her head slightly, and her light brown long hair, which was as beautiful as a streamer brocade, brushed over his shoulders, and that kind of faint pleasant smell lingered at the tip of her nose again.

He was in a daze for a while, and when his sense of hearing and thoughts came back, he heard her ask: "How are you?"

Drake: "..."

He didn't hear what she just said at all, so he opened his mouth and didn't know how to answer her.

Liya: "After all, Bogart eats alone, and it always feels bad."

This time Drake understood what she was talking about, and a momentary shame of feeling pity surrounded him.

For a teenager who is growing up, a regular dinner is certainly not enough to fill his stomach, but he doesn't want her to notice this fact.This made him feel unseemly, and also added a heavy haze to this unexpected encounter.

He hadn't met a good thing for a long time, so he didn't want some embarrassing memories to be mixed with this long-lost good luck.

However, her smile was sincere and innocent, she seemed completely unaware of his predicament, she simply asked him to be with her, the curve of her eyes was so gentle and sweet...

He hesitated for a moment, and he missed the opportunity to say the rejection.

As for Leah, Bogart's presence was a matter of course for her.Speaking of which, in fact, there was a tall and thin lieutenant and two marines sitting at the next table behind Drake.

From the time she entered the North Sea, Leah would never break away from the protection of the navy when she moved anywhere other than warships.After experiencing the encounter with the Don Quixote family earlier, her already alert vigilance has been improved to a higher level.

What's more, now that she has Lili by her side, of course, the more careful the better.

Therefore, it was not that he invited the young man in front of him unpreparedly.Although she was somewhat confident in her vision of people, if she hadn't been sure that the lieutenant who had been following him was fully capable of coercing him, Leah would most likely reject Lili's friend application.

After asking Bogart to take a seat, Liya sat down beside Drake in order to express her apology, and said with a half-questioning voice: "Mr. Drake, can you eat with Mr. Bogart? Eat alone It always feels bad to eat."

As she said this, her long golden eyelashes gathered together, her smile was extraordinarily soft, and Drake's remaining restraint was stuck in her throat.

As soon as he opened his mouth, she had already lifted up her skirt and went to the door to find the proprietress.Lili Goose jumped off the table and followed with a wagging little yellow belly.

Stepping out of the light circle of the oil lamp, the figures of the siblings disappeared into the darkness. The restaurant is not big, and the girl's soft voice and the restaurant's aunt's hearty answer could be faintly heard, occasionally mixed with Lili's deliberately suppressed chirping.

Drake wanted to get up and follow him. Due to Mr. Guardian's cold expression and upright sitting posture, Drake could only maintain basic politeness and sit firmly in his seat.

"About how you know the location of the black market in Beihai,"

Derek clenched his fists, and he felt his hairs stand up one by one.

"I won't pursue this matter." Bogart was wearing sunglasses, the lower half of his face was sullen and his mouth was expressionless: "For the sake of doing us a favor, let me advise you Boy, you don't look like a man without backbone, remember to keep your eyes open before making a choice about what path you want to take in the future."

The teenager bowed his head, his brown hair blocking his eyes.

"Mr. Bogart...the Navy."

His hands were hidden under the table, trembling slightly.

"That's right." Bogart's serious eyes fell on him, and after about ten seconds, he asked him, "Do you want to be a navy?"

When leaving the restaurant, Liya shivered from the sudden cold wind.She was wearing a long skirt with a half collar and long sleeves, and the hem of the skirt hung long over her feet.If it is in the East China Sea, this suit is enough to keep out the cold.But in Beihai, as my aunt said, this light and fluffy cotton skirt can't block the cold wind of Beihai at all.

Gentleman Bogart took off his trench coat and put it on for the only lady in the group.

Lili tucked into the pocket of his windbreaker, poked his head out to bid farewell to Drake.

Drake reached out and tapped the tips of his little wings, and looked up at Leah's eyes: "Miss Leah, thank you for your hospitality, I will take my farewell today."

It was already dark, and Leah was only surprised for a short second when she saw the boy's eyes shining in the night, and said with a smile: "Lily and I are also very happy to know Drake, and we hope to see him sometime soon. "

Drake took a deep breath and said to her: "I will definitely see you again." He seemed to be trying his best to muster up the courage, and there was a faint tremolo in his high-pitched voice: "One day, I will go to Marlin Vandeau to see you …Yours!"

Leah blinked.

She didn't answer right away, she glanced at Bogart with a calm face from the corner of her eye.

Drake's seemingly determined and calm expression gradually revealed a trace of uneasiness.

'Do you want to be in the navy?Same as your father? '

'Miss Leah's father is also an admiral, and I think she probably won't have a friend who is a pirate. '

'Whether it's for ideals or anything else, if you want to be a navy, come on, Marlin Fand. '

Drake straightened his back, looked straight into the girl's calm and bright eyes, and repeated forcefully: "I will definitely go, Navy Headquarters."

"I'll be a good, righteous Marine!"

Leah smiled.

The blue-eyed girl stood on her tiptoes, and gently gave the blue-eyed boy a polite and encouraging hug: "Come on, Mr. Drake."

----

Luo hid in the alley, counting the time silently in his heart.

Although the wind was strong, the cloak that Kelasang bought for him a few days ago was very thick, and the cold wind could not penetrate at all.

It's been 10 minutes since Kelasang left, so I don't know what's going on now.

There were footsteps passing by outside, a rough man's voice came in together with the wind, indistinct, probably a late drunk talking nonsense.Luo shrank back into the corner.

All he can do is to wait here, not to cause unnecessary trouble to Kelasang.

Luo rested his chin on his knees and stared warily at the entrance of the alley.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt as if a small black shadow rushed past just now.

The light was too dark, and even if people's eyes adapted to the darkness, their visual range and clarity were still very limited. Luo could only stare his eyes wide in vain, and the cold made his eyeballs astringent and painful.

The cloak hanging on the ground seemed to be dragged a bit, and Luo almost jumped up, but he maintained his original posture, tensing his body tightly, not daring to move rashly.

Something got into the cloak and hunched around his feet for a moment, then stopped.

"chirp"

Luo finally couldn't help but bounced up abruptly, and moved two steps away against the wall.

With trembling hands he struck a match, and a small but bright flame ignited, which was instantly extinguished by the wind.

For a short moment when the fire was on, Luo could clearly see the fluffy ball in the corner where he was squatting before, and the two big blue eyes on the small flat mouth were shining brightly. look at him.

When poultry are young...are there breeds with blue eyes? ——A big question crossed Luo's head.

On the other end, Leah smiled faintly, raised her eyebrows and looked at her friend who was looking down and looking honest, and said softly: "Mr. Pirate, don't you have anything to explain? Then I will escort you back to Marlin Vandor like this. is that OK?"

Rossindi pinched the two hearts on her Shamat's red turban, and promised: "No...no more"

In the past few years, Bogart often dealt with the blond boy next to the Warring States General, and at least he had a bit of face. At this time, he couldn't bear to help and pleaded: "Well, there is no way to receive this kind of task."

The gentle Miss Leah smiled slightly, and Bogart glanced at her expression, and closed his mouth wisely.

The sound of a phone bug suddenly sounded in the small guard room, and Rosindi froze for a moment, slowly found a phone bug in Lia's menacing eyes, and glanced at her hesitantly.

Leah stared at the pink-feathered phone bug, her smile slowly shrinking: "Pick it up."

Five minutes later, Bogart took the lead to go out and said to the captain of the guard: "This is a pirate, and he was taken away by our navy."

Rossindi pretended to be handcuffed and followed closely behind Leah, whispering: "My little friend is still waiting for me in the next street."

Leah: "Don't worry, Lily and Garp will pass first."

Luo Xindi screamed in a low voice: "Eh?!!! He doesn't know the identity of my navy! Can't tell him!!!"

Leah didn't waver, and even showed a sweet smile to express her joy: "Ah, is it?"

Rossindi: "..."

Well, he knew how angry she was.
