Ultimate Blade Shadow in One Piece Navy

"Mom, what do you think..."

In a candy castle on Cake Island, Katakuri, who had just spoken, stopped and looked at Charlotte Lingling, who was constantly eating assorted seafood fried rice.

Charlotte Lingling seemed to realize something, and took two more mouthfuls, then stopped, and Katakuri spoke again: "It seems that this time the winner is self-evident."

Hearing this, Charlotte Lingling nodded approvingly and said: "Actually, several other young people did a good job, but... a chef who cannot satisfy the diners will not be the best chef.

I like this young man. Whether it is the previous frozen food, barbecue, pasta, or the current rice, the portion and deliciousness have all been balanced, it just depends on the final dessert. "

After Katakuri glanced at the dozen normal-sized plates in front of Charlotte, as well as the plate that was the size of an ordinary person's table, he nodded and said, "Well, then I will notify you of the next round of assessments." ?”

"Well, if Totland can have such a son-in-law, then he won't be hungry in the future, right?"

Katakuri nodded, picked up the form, checked it lightly, and then said to Perospero beside him: "Brother, please, let them continue to the next round."

Perospero nodded, then turned and walked out of the castle, with a very brisk smile on his face. After all, the tea party was just to make his mother happy.

But this morning and noon, his mother was not very satisfied, which made him a little sad. Fortunately, a different chef appeared now.

Perospero made up his mind that even if none of his sisters liked the chef in the end, he would still hire him with a high salary to cook for his family.

After leaving the castle, Perospero whispered a few words to a waiter and then returned to the castle. The waiter quickly found the Straw Hats who were resting.

At this time, Sanji, who had cooked four very large portions of food in a row, did not feel tired. He was even continuing to use the remaining ingredients from the barbecue to grill his friends and other chefs to taste.

With an extremely sincere smile on his face, he seemed to have forgotten the purpose of coming here, but was immersed in this occasion where countless young outstanding chefs were communicating.

In fact, it is not that Sanji has never participated in such cooking competitions since he left Barati's Restaurant, but the level of those competitions is a bit too low for a chef like him.

Either the ingredients and themes were limited, and he couldn't put his cooking skills to good use, or the opponent's skills were insufficient and it was difficult to inspire Sanji's heart as a chef.

But this Totland Kitchen King Competition completely satisfied all Sanji's requirements and conditions for the cooking competition.

Totland's strength and connections, as well as the appeal of the tea party, attracted almost all the outstanding young chefs in this sea to participate. At the same time, they also brought the best quality ingredients from their respective seas.

Sanji feels that his participation in the King of Chef Competition this time is not only the competition process, but the collision of concepts when competing with chefs from different seas is his biggest gain.

In just one afternoon, he felt that he had benefited a lot. His personal menu was constantly adding items, and at the same time, he was constantly improving his original recipes.

No matter what industry it is, it is impossible for a person to work behind closed doors. This is especially reflected in the chef industry. Whether it is a proactive self-preservation or lack of experience and knowledge, it will limit the development of a chef.

Only by keeping an open mind and constantly trying and learning new things can a chef keep improving and satisfy more diners with tricky tastes.

Of course...there are exceptions for idiots like Luffy and Green Algae Head. Luffy thinks whatever he eats is delicious, but Zoro eats without saying a word. When asked about him, he will arrogantly say "It's not as good as wine." .

But... Sanji lit up a cigarette and looked at Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Robin, and others who were eating barbecue at this time. These are the partners who support him.

"Mr. Sanji!"

Just when he finally had a chance to rest, the maid ran over again. Sanji instantly put on a gentleman's smile and asked: "Madam, how can I help you?"

The maid nodded politely and said, "We can start making desserts, or do you want to take a rest?"

"Whoo~"

Sanji took a deep breath of cigarette and said, "But without a chef, diners will have to wait!"

After saying that, he quickly returned to his open kitchen. As a kitchen assistant, Bebo asked very sensibly: "Sanji, do you want to help you weigh the flour?"

Bepo is the best chef Sanji has ever experienced. He always seems to know what he is going to do next and what ingredients or kitchen utensils he needs, but this time...

Sanji shook his head and said, "No, I'm not going to use flour!"

Bebo asked doubtfully: "Aren't you going to make a cake?"

Among countless desserts, cake is definitely the one with the highest error rate, because most people will not refuse the taste and texture of cake.

At the same time, cakes are easy to shape and look good. Coupled with people's inherent impression of cakes and their understanding of the sweetness of sugar, people will naturally feel happy when they see the cake.

After the visual and psychological foreshadowing, the deliciousness of the cake will naturally be enhanced by at least one level in the diners' perception.

The other chefs participating in the King of Chef Competition today also chose cakes in their final dessert selection.

Including Sanji, after understanding the five types of meals in the competition, he immediately started talking about the cakes he was good at.

Bepo thought Sanji would choose to compete with cake, but now...

Hearing Bebo's confused words, Sanji threw the cigarette butt in his hand into the sink, then took a sip of water, showed a confident smile and said, "Who said you can't make a cake without flour?

The most important thing about desserts is not just sugar, but also making diners feel warm and fiery!So this time...I'm going to make a fiery dessert! "

Hearing Sanji's words, Bebo became even more confused. He had never heard Leon mention Sanji's philosophy. Leon's approach to desserts was also more mainstream. At most, he would add a little saltiness to stimulate the depth of the dessert. tasty.

At this time, Sanji placed his hands on the countertop, constantly looking at the ingredients prepared by Totlan, and constantly improving the temporary idea in his heart.

There are more than one ways to make flour-free cakes, but they basically don’t look very good. If they are covered in frosting, they can be shaped like ordinary cakes, but... that’s boring.

So...not only the cake, but also the coating needed to be inventive, and soon Sanji decided it was...heavy cheesecake, then covered with ginger milk!

And it can't be a simple heavy cheesecake. Most people can't eat much of that kind of cake. They will feel full and greasy before they can fully appreciate the beauty.

The power of cheese and milk cannot be tempered by a little lemon juice, so... something more exciting is needed, such as chili and jam.

Then coupled with the unconventional dessert ginger and milk, which is already very satisfying, Sanji can already imagine the texture of an egg tart that is perfectly baked on the outside but still tender on the inside.

As for the flavor...he, the chef, needs to master it.

At this time, many chefs around him also set their sights on Sanji. Just now, Sanji grilled meat, which made them realize that he was an excellent chef.

And they also heard what Sanji just said about desserts that don’t require flour. They all wanted to see how Sanji would solve the problem. As people watched, Sanji said to Bepo:

"I want ginger, cranberries, milk, cream cheese, butter, eggs, lemons, as much as you can get."

After telling Bebo the main ingredients, Sanji himself went to the condiments area. First, there were white sugar, vanilla pods, black and white chocolate, etc. that no one was surprised about.

But Sanji stood there and thought for a while, put the chocolate back, and then, amidst the confusion of countless people, picked up more than a dozen kinds of chili peppers and chili powder, and ran back to his kitchen.

Everyone was confused. Just now, Sanji asked Bepo to get ginger, but they didn't quite understand it. Now he got a lot of chili peppers. Is this definitely for dessert?

But Sanji ignored the confused looks of the other chefs and began to taste the chili powder and chili he had brought. His face turned red and he coughed repeatedly.

At this time, Bebo also took back the ingredients that Sanji needed. Regardless of his image, Sanji quickly peeled open a lemon and chewed it with a ferocious expression.

Then he drank some water, and the distortion on his face finally eased. He took many empty bowls and kept mixing the chili powder, then tasted it again. Finally, he chose one from the many combinations.

After the most uncertain chili pepper was determined, Sanji's speed suddenly increased. He directly turned on the oven to preheat, then peeled and cut the ginger and lemon into pieces, and squeezed the juice respectively.

His speed was getting faster and faster, and in the small kitchen, he had the effect of a phantom clone technique. Bebo, without being told, also spontaneously boiled water.

Although he didn't know what Sanji wanted to do, Bepo had been a cook in the Zanye detachment's kitchen for several years. Based on Sanji's ingredients, he could judge what he should do.

With Bebo's help, Sanji's movements were not blocked at all. He melted butter and cheese over water, and started to make jam at the same time. He worked on both sides of the heavy cheesecake and ginger milk.

However, even at his speed, it took him an hour of work before he put the cake into the oven. Jiang Bangnai was faster and had already started to refrigerate it.

After taking a look at the situation in the oven, Sanji lit a cigarette for himself and murmured: "I'm so tired, I won't do it anymore."

"Cough cough cough~"

Suddenly, the sound of coughing behind him made Sanji turn around. A speechless look appeared on his face because Luffy was actually cleaning the ingredients.

The melted butter, cheese, cooked jam, and remaining milk all went into Luffy's stomach at this time, but this idiot...even the chili powder was eaten, and he was holding the island with tears streaming down his face. coughing.

"Cough cough cough~"

At this time, there was also a cough on the other side, and a few veins appeared on Sanji's forehead. He looked over dissatisfied, but after just one glance, he froze.

A girl was coughing with tears in her eyes, and her red mouth showed that she, like Luffy, had stolen Sanji's condiments, but... why would Sanji be angry with this girl?

Throwing down the cigarette, he took a quick puff with both hands, then quickly picked up a remaining lemon, peeled it, sliced ​​it, and put it on a plate. Then he walked elegantly to the girl and said softly:

"Eat some lemon, it will be much better."

"Thanks cough cough~ I'm sorry...thank you."

The girl's face turned red and she didn't dare to look at Sanji. She just quickly picked up two slices of lemon and put them into her mouth. Then she wrinkled her face with soreness.

Although only a little bit of the girl's expression could be seen, Sanji still smiled. Just as he was about to say something, an extremely hoarse voice came from behind him.

"Sanji...Sanji...Sanji..."

Sanji looked back dissatisfied. At this time, his whole body was as red as a cooked lobster, his eyes were protruding, and his hands were stretched out. Like a life-seeking demon, Luffy roared: "Hot! Hot!"

"You want to eat chili, right? Bastard idiot!"

Noticing that the girl had slowly escaped while he was looking back, Sanji felt an unknown anger rising in his heart. He looked at the remaining chili peppers on the table, immediately put them in the same bowl, and then threw them into Luffy's mouth. mouth.

"no!

!

"

It was so horribly spicy that even Luffy, the rubber man, felt severe pain. His eyes quickly turned red, and then he fell straight down, twitching on the ground.

Seeing this scene, Zoro, Nami and others were speechless and covered their foreheads, reflecting on why they followed such a captain. Only Chopper, lying on the ground at this time, seemed to be imitating Luffy.

After a long time, Luffy finally started to do it. His eyes were blank, his mouth was wide open, and saliva kept flowing from the corners of his mouth, but...it didn't matter anymore, because he couldn't feel anything anymore.

He had drank enough milk, but could not relieve the spicy taste. He wanted to imitate Sanji and eat lemon with that girl, but Sanji refused. According to Sanji, only an idiot would eat lemon and uncooked at the same time. of milk.

Sanji had a melancholy look on his face at this time, staring in the direction where the girl just left, glancing at the oven from time to time, and even forgot to smoke the cigarette in his mouth.

After taking another look at the extinguished oven, like a soulless machine, he took out the cake and stuffed it into the refrigerator to chill.

"Bebo, I'll leave the rest to you."

Sanji, who had no motivation, reached Luffy who had also lost his soul. Bebo nodded. Sanji had already told him that the remaining finishing work was not difficult.

Heat the rock sugar over water to melt, then take out the ginger milk that is slightly stiff due to refrigeration, and then carve the ginger milk into it just enough to allow the heavy cheesecake to be embedded in it.

Then he checked the melted syrup and the heavy cheesecake with a slightly cold shell. He unmoulded the cake and placed it on a pure white plate. He covered it with ginger and milk, and it almost melted into one color.

Take out the melted syrup and pour it on the cold ginger milk. It cools down quickly and turns into a crystal clear shell. It doesn't look fancy on the outside, but it looks good.

At this time, from the icing on the outside, to the ginger and milk in the middle, to the heavy cheesecake in the center, the temperature has also been exchanged to a just right temperature.

He showed the finished product to Sanji. After Sanji nodded meaninglessly, Bepo also placed the huge plate on the dining cart nearby.

The waiter carefully pushed the dining cart towards the Candy Castle in the distance.

At this time, on two warships running parallel in the waters of Totland, Ace held two life papers with a strange expression and kept comparing them with each other. Next to him, Luo, who was called over, asked with a puzzled look:

"What's wrong? Whose life paper is that? It looks like it's in the same place."

"They belong to Luffy and Sabo."

Ace said, and for some reason, Luo heard a hint of sourness in Ace's tone, as if he felt like two brothers playing together without telling him.

At this time, Luo also carefully looked at the paper of life in Ace's hand, frowned, and said, "Is this pointing to Cake Island? I heard that today is the first day of the tea party, and they also went to join in the fun?"

"Tea party? What was that?"

Ace asked doubtfully, while Luo had a very strange expression on his face and said: "The Charlotte family's marriage recruitment meeting, it seems...Luffy and Sabo may be getting married."

"Nani?!

! ”

Ace squeezed his face with both hands, looked at Luo in disbelief, and said, "Luo, are you kidding? You must be kidding, right? How old are they?"

Also, what's going on with marrying a pirate? !no!Absolutely not! "

Seeing Ace's frantic look, Luo shrugged and said, "Saab is a member of the Revolutionary Army. Now the Revolutionary Army is in desperate need of help from big forces. Marrying with the Charlotte family might be a good idea.

And Luffy... isn't he recognized as a pirate by the World Government?Isn't it normal for a pirate to marry a pirate?What's more, many of the Charlotte family are not wanted.

So, they may not be marrying pirates, maybe a girl from the Charlotte family is marrying a revolutionary soldier and a pirate? "

"No! Anyway, it's not possible!"

Ace continued to shake his head, while Luo showed a bad smile and said, "Then what are you going to do? Lieutenant General Skyler agreed to let us make a big fuss in the new world."

"But... my aunt said not to make too much noise in Totland..."

Ace shook his head, and Luo was not surprised at all. After all, he was always trying to advance before retreating. If only one person blocked Ace, then given his character, it might be counterproductive.

But if he followed his words, then he himself would notice the key to something, that is, Luo, who has known Ace for many years, can make good use of this.

Just when Luo thought he had restrained Ace's "whimsical thoughts," Yamato suddenly said, "Then we can go over and have a look first, and we don't have to do it before we go."

"Yup!"

Ace's eyes suddenly lit up. Who said that going to Totland meant causing trouble? Since it was a tea party, it would be normal to have more guests.

Seeing this abnormal pair of officers and adjutants, Luo twitched his lips, then changed his mind and said, "But without an invitation, we can't get in."

"The invitation...this is indeed a troublesome matter."

After touching his chin and thinking for a moment, Ace looked at Luo and asked, "Who will receive the invitation letter?"

Luo thought for a while, weighed whether to tell or not, and finally said: "Many pirates, underground forces, and some chambers of commerce will receive invitations.

The pirates who have been roaming freely in Totland recently must have received invitations to the tea party, but even if they knew who had the invitations, what would happen? "

"So what?" Ace chuckled, then looked at Yamato and said, "Just find the pirates closest to us, don't be from the Big Mom Pirates!"

"okay!"

Yamato left happily. Luo looked at Ace, twitching the corners of his eyes and said, "Are you... planning to rob him openly?"

"Can the navy's affairs be called robbery? That's called... that's called enforcing justice! That's called collecting stolen goods!"

Ace said with a righteous look, and Luo rolled his eyes, feeling in his heart that Ace was indeed a "talent" from that family.

However, Luo still said: "But don't forget, the Navy has not received an invitation letter. They must know about it, and... invitation letters usually have invitees, and we are not."

"What the hell! I have an invitation, and if they still won't let me attend, that's their problem!"

Ace ignored him and said loudly with his hands on his hips. Looking at him like that, Luo suspected that Ace thought he had a good idea.

Luo sighed and stopped trying to dissuade him. After all, if he continued to persuade him, he would probably only strengthen Ace's determination to go to Cake Island to cause trouble.

What's more, Lieutenant General Schuyler only said not to go too far in Totland, but he didn't say that he couldn't cause trouble in Totland. He just wanted to limit the development of the situation a little when the time came.

Not long after, Yamato, who had just left, ran over again and said excitedly: "Ace, there is! About twenty nautical miles away from us, there is a fleet coming from the West Sea. It seems that there are several Made up of pirates."

Ace was about to speak, but Luo frowned and asked: "Western Sea? Which pirate groups are they?"

"I don't know. I haven't gotten to know the pirate groups in the four seas, but there is one who looks quite familiar. It seems to be the Eight Treasure Marines of the Flower Country?"

Yamato shook his head, and Luo frowned when he heard that it was the Eight Treasure Navy. This is a country that joins the World Government. The problems left over from history have made the Eight Treasure Navy a legal pirate group.

But the Babao Navy still has its own special characteristics and cannot be used casually...

But before Luo could say anything, Ace had already said loudly: "No matter who he is! As long as he is a pirate, he is our target! Let's go!"

"Yes, sir!"
