Pirates: Beginning with the Patrolman

The business model of Water Seven City is already very mature, with a wide variety of goods. As long as you have money, you can buy anything you want, including devil fruits.

When they passed by an auction house, they saw the promotional posters posted outside, using Devil Fruits as the latest hot selling point.

However, Remos and Nami have no interest in the fruit for the time being, and the price of this kind of fruit put up for auction will be much higher than its actual value. Remos and his friends only have 100 million Beli, so it is nothing but a pipe dream to want to buy a fruit from the auction.

Moreover, the fruits that can be auctioned are usually not good fruits. The truly precious fruits will be snatched up by all major forces as soon as they appear.

Pirates, the navy, the World Government, the Revolutionary Army, with all these forces perishing, how could an ordinary auction house have a chance?

Of course, this is not absolute. After all, the location and time of the fruit's rebirth are random. Maybe a very precious fruit is suddenly reborn in a corner and then auctioned. Anything is possible.

But Remos and his friends didn't have the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia, so they had no interest in opening blind boxes. They just took a look and continued walking along the long street.

The previous Bullfish had been sent away because they were now heading to the largest commercial plaza in the Seven Water City. It would not be too late to hire Bullfish when they planned to return to the inn.

The entertainment industry in the Seven Water City is also very developed. The most famous one is probably the Mask Carnival, which is only held on specific days and is the city’s grandest event.

Unfortunately, Remos and his friends came at an inopportune time, as it was not a carnival day recently. However, in addition to such large-scale events, the Seven Water City would also hold various small events from time to time.

For example, right now, Remos and Nami are encountering an event called the Seven Waters Food Competition, where chefs from all over the world gather to compete in their cooking skills.

The winner will receive a high bounty and a set of precious kitchen utensils, and the loser will not come in vain. In addition to receiving an encouragement award, he or she may also be noticed by local businesses and become a restaurant chef.

During the competition, the contestants not only have to prepare food for the judges, but there will also be content for the general audience. The contestants need to produce food in large quantities to satisfy the audience's appetite.

This is a hard requirement for chefs. Not only must they have the ability to prepare exquisite dishes, but they must also be able to handle a large number of diners.

Remos and Nami looked at the flyers in their hands, and then looked at the dense crowd in front of them.

"How about going in and taking a look?"

Remus suggested.

"But... I feel like I can't eat anymore..."

Nami touched her belly and said with tears in her eyes, "If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have eaten so desperately just now."

It’s a pity that the Seven Waters City is too big. If you don’t go nearby, who would know that there is such a food competition going on here?

"I can still eat some, and we should have digested a lot on the way. It's just a taste, it's okay."

Remus persuaded.

Nami struggled for a moment, but finally couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food and followed Remos into the crowd.

Today is the third day of the food competition. The competition has reached the semi-final stage. The four contestants are standing behind their respective stoves, carefully preparing the ingredients.

Remos took Nami to the front of the crowd and finally saw the appearance of the four chefs.

From left to right, there are three men and one woman.

The male chef on the far left is an old man with white hair and beard, and is shirtless, revealing his toned muscles. His cooking scene is also the most exciting. The flame in the stove is turned to the maximum, and the flames burst out from the edge of the pot, wrapping up the entire pot.

And as he operated, the flame would suddenly swell from time to time, reaching a maximum height of about one meter, and each time it would cause cheers from the surrounding crowd.

The second one was also a man, who looked like a nobleman, with blond hair and blue eyes, and dressed extremely gorgeously and elegantly. He was also very elegant when cooking, and all his movements were like dancing. Many female audiences were attracted by him.

The third one was the only woman on the field. She had long purple hair and was dressed very ordinary. Yes, very ordinary, just like a random passerby on the street, and even worse than the passersby. She had a big braid and a pair of huge glasses on her face. The lenses covered half of her face, making it difficult to see her appearance.

The dress can be said to be very rustic.

Her movements were also the most ordinary. Unlike others who were either elegant or fiery, she just lowered her head and cut the vegetables. She looked like a kitchen girl next door, not like a real chef at all.

The audience around her paid the least attention to her, and sometimes people would even boo her.

The fourth one was a young man in short-sleeved shirt and shorts. He was obviously skilled in Kung Fu, beating and hitting half a beef, occasionally shouting, which also aroused the audience's cheers.

The contrast between these four people on the same stage is very prominent.

Although Remos was very clear about the general performance plot, he knew that inconspicuous people like the third girl often had powerful powers hidden behind them, or had abilities that were completely different from their appearance.

But he was inevitably attracted by the other three people and subconsciously ignored the girl.

In this way, the four contestants worked on their own and soon their works were completed one after another.

The old man brought out a big pot of fried rice, which sparkled with crystal clear light in the sun. There were golden eggs, snow-white rice, red peppers, green vegetables... All the colors seemed mixed, but in fact they were very harmonious.

The on-site staff brought many small bowls and distributed the fried rice to the audience around.

Remos and Nami also each got a small bowl. They took a bite, their eyes widened at the same time, and then looked at each other.

"Delicious!" x2

Remos couldn't tell what was so delicious about this bowl of fried rice, but he just thought it was delicious.

The second contestant presented a salad with a special sauce that also tasted great, but the steak part was a bit lackluster. This was mainly because Remos and Nami had just eaten a belly full of meat, and it would be hard to feel impressed if they ate it now.

Then came the fourth contestant’s work, charcoal-grilled beef.

Remos and the other man simply refused to take it because they really didn't want to eat meat anymore.

Finally, the rustic girl's work was finally served, a bowl of ramen with only a vegetable leaf floating on it.

"..."

Remos and Nami looked at each other again, and with the idea of ​​giving it a try, they each picked up a few noodles and put them in their mouths.
