I'm an undercover pirate and I'm about to become a Yonko.

When we arrived at Chengdong Square, after McGee's decoration, it looked like that on the whole.

Whether it is a simple stage or the kitchen utensils and ingredients needed by the chefs, they are all placed on the other side of the square for everyone to use.

"McGee's efficiency is really good." Noel sighed as he looked at the busy staff.

Allen nodded when he heard this and said: "I don't know how many people we can recruit this time. I always feel that not many people will join us."

"It's normal. After all, not everyone is like drifting on the sea. People like us are still a minority after all." Hearing Allen's words, Noel didn't care too much.

The largest number of people in this world are ordinary people. I didn’t think so when I watched anime in my previous life. After all, the story mainly tells stories about pirates and navy.

But after coming to this world, Noel no longer felt that way. There were so many pirates, but compared to ordinary people, they could only be said to be a drop in the bucket.

The Grand Line and the New World sound like they are very powerful, but in fact you will know it just by looking at the map.

This route is just a line in this world.

The truly vast place is still the four seas, but those powerful pirates have all gone to the Great Navigation Route and the New World, so it gives people an illusion.

It seems that the Great Air Route and the New World occupy a large part of this world.

As for whether he can recruit a chef this time, Noel actually doesn't care too much. He wants to recruit the best one. If he can't recruit one, the worst he can do is train him himself.

To put it bluntly, even if these chefs are recruited, Allen still needs to be trained, it is nothing more than the length of time.

The time reached two o'clock in the afternoon.

Whether it was the chefs who were kidnapped by Yamato or those who agreed directly, they all gathered in the square in the east of the city.

There were also many chefs who did not accept Yamato's invitation and came over to join in the fun.

Some competitive people signed up directly, and those who didn't care about this also sat in the audience and prepared to watch.

Although the competition held this time was hasty, due to Yamato's initial actions and Mikey's promotion later, most of the chefs from the entire food city came here.

It can be said that it is full of gold, and even Allen dare not say that he can definitely win the championship.

But Noel expressed full confidence in this. After Allen obtained the Salt Fruit, his cooking skills can be said to be the same every day. After such a long time, Allen's current cooking skills can be said to be much better than before. .

"Hello guests, welcome everyone to come and participate in this event despite your busy schedule." The host came to the center of the stage and said loudly.

"Everyone here may not know why such an event is held, and what is the significance of this event. Now we invite the Lord of the Food City, Mr. McGee, to give a speech."

As soon as the host finished speaking, the entire square burst into applause, and McGee came to the stage amidst the bursts of applause.

After some polite remarks, Mikey announced that the reward for the winner of this event would be a very rare ingredient on this island.

Then, the purpose of Noel and others was introduced to everyone. Only then did the chefs present know that the original purpose of this event was to recruit chefs.

When they learned that once they joined Noel's team, Allen would serve as the head chef to teach the new chefs, they also talked a lot.

There is no first in literature, no second in martial arts. Every top chef is very confident in his own craft.

So when Allen's identity was exposed, many chefs present began to look at Allen, and those with poor cooking skills began to consider whether there were any benefits to joining Noel's team.

The competition passed round after round, and the result of the competition was what Noel thought at the beginning. Allen's cooking skills were not just talk.

Along the way, Allen overcame obstacles, defeated countless top chefs, and stood at the championship position.

Seeing Allen's happy smile, Noel also had a smile on his lips, and Yamato and the others kept cheering.

Who is the happiest person in this competition?It wasn't Allen who won the championship, but Yamato who was sitting on the judges' table and eating and drinking all the time.

As the planner of this operation, Yamato kept clamoring to be a judge before the competition started, so naturally McGee would not object.

And Noel and the others were not interested in being a judge, so Yamato sat in the judge's position as a matter of course.

Yamato ate the dishes carefully prepared by the top chefs, and finally witnessed Allen winning the championship, and everyone was extremely excited.

As the competition ended, Noel and Allen also stepped onto the stage to invite the chefs present to join their team.

The result was similar to what they had expected. The top chefs all politely declined Noel's offer.

Those with average cooking skills are a little tempted, but the only thing they need to worry about is the identity of the Noel pirates.

In the end, with several guarantees from Noel, some chefs also applied to join Noel's staff.

For these chefs who applied, Noel also waved his hand and recruited them all.

"Alan, I'll leave the rest to you." Noel patted Alan on the shoulder and ran off to fish.

The trip to the food city was over, and Noel and others were not prepared to stay here any longer.

Because of the competition, Yamato has basically eaten all the various delicacies in the food city.

So even though the time I stayed here was short, it was indeed Yamato's most satisfying trip.

"Let's hold another cooking competition when we get to the next island, Noel." Yamato crossed his arms and held his head, and said towards Noel.

But Noel seemed to have not heard Yamato's words and walked forward on his own.

"Hey, Noel, I'm talking to you." Seeing that Noel didn't speak, Yamato said again.

Noel sighed, and then said helplessly: "You almost caused trouble this time. Why, do you want to continue to cause trouble?"

"What?! I did a very good job on my mission this time," Yamato said loudly and dissatisfied after hearing this.

"Yes, yes, it was done very well. I won't do it next time." Noel said perfunctorily to Yamato and returned to the ark.

"Boys, get ready to sail!" Noel didn't give Yamato a chance to continue talking, and returned to the ship and announced the order to prepare to sail.

Noel then walked to his room on his own.

When Yamato saw Noel like this, he had no choice but to leave angrily, his eyes constantly moving to plan something.
