[One Piece] Pirate Life of Port Officers

Although the six-layer cake is big, it is still a bit too small compared to the number of red-haired pirates reunited here.

But the pirates who didn't get the cake didn't care. They held wine in one hand and meat in the other, singing and dancing around the campfire, looking very happy.

"Ignore them, they're all idiots who only know how to eat meat." After stuffing the last small piece of cake into Shalai's hands, Cook glanced at the rambunctious guys with disgust, "What's in this cake?" There are also surprises, try it."

surprise?

If Shanks said that, she must have stayed away, but it was Cook's words...

After taking the plate, Sha Lai immediately took a bite out of face, and then the delicacy that exploded between her lips and teeth made her instantly regret why she didn't save more.

She has also eaten a lot of cakes made by Cook these days. There is no difference in terms of the cake embryos. They are all fluffy and soft chiffon cakes that are cooked just right.Different, this sour-sweet ratio is moderate to unbelievable golden cream.

"Cook, is there ice wine in this cream?" Restraining her desire to eat the cake in one go, Sha Lai chatted with Cook first.

Well, I have established a good relationship with the chef, so I'm afraid I won't be able to eat delicious food in the future?

"It seems that you have learned a lot after going out this afternoon," Cook said as he sat down on the tree stump next to him, so as not to raise his neck when Sha came to chat with him, "but the surprise I said is not This, you can eat and eat again."

besides?Sha Lai lowered her head, cut off a large piece of cake with a fork, and saw the white pulp in the sandwich cream of the cake through the campfire.

This should be the white grape grown on this island?Was there no stock in the winery because these guys brought all the grapes to the party?

Although she already had a rough guess in her heart, considering Cook's usual reliability, Xilai still put the big piece of cake into her mouth and chewed it slowly.

"Cook, is this white grape still in stock?" After swallowing the cake in her mouth, Saraiba blinked and looked at Cook. From the curvature of her mouth and sparkling eyes, it is not difficult to see that she is very happy with this surprise. degree of satisfaction.

"There are many more." Seeing that Sha Lai's eyes lit up once again because of his answer, Cook shook his head amusedly in his heart, stamping the fact that she was just a child even more tightly, "Boss spent more than half a year. In the afternoon, I picked all the white grapes from the top of the mountain, excluding the portion to be sent to the winery, it will be enough for you for a month."

Shanks disappeared all afternoon to pick grapes?

Hearing what Cook said, Sha Lai, who was eating cake happily, managed to avoid choking.

After finally swallowing the delicious cake, Sha looked at Cook and asked suspiciously, "How could he pick grapes?"

Although Wright described picking grapes from the top of the mountain as very difficult when he was in the winery, I have seen ordinary crew members kill Neptunes in one blow on the Foss, and I have no doubt that more than 80.00% of the people gathered here have all come from The ability to pick grapes from the top of a snowy mountain.So why is it Shanks' turn to do this kind of small job?Hasn't he always been disinterested in less challenging activities?

Probably because Shanks's usual image is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, seeing Sha's puzzled look, Cook can guess what she is thinking even without knowledge.After a second of silence in his heart for the poor reputation of his boss, Cook answered her doubts.

"Because the beasts on the top of the mountain are already an integral part of the ecological environment on the top of the mountain, we can't kill them, otherwise it will affect the quality of the grapes in the future. So every time the brothers go to harvest grapes, nearly half of the grapes will be with those Destroyed in battle with ferocious beasts that attack strangers."

"You guessed it, the best way to deal with this situation is to let the overbearing boss take action. But you also know that he is not always willing to do such boring work."

Looking at Shanks who had withdrawn from the crowd and walked towards this side, Cook decided to make a final effort to save the image of the boss.

"He took the initiative to run up and down to pick up all the grapes this time, because you showed a love for sweets and fruits on the Foss. Although I think that as long as people with normal taste buds, no one can refuse this Grapes are delicious."

After speaking, Cook felt that he had done almost all he could do, got up from the tree stump, took a glass of wine, greeted Sha Lai, and then disappeared into the carnival crowd.

Sha Lai, who was standing there, looked at her empty white porcelain plate in a daze, until a familiar breath came over and blocked her light.

After feeling a light on the top of her head, Sarai didn't raise her head, and kept staring at the plate motionless.

"You don't think that if you stare at the plate for a long time, a piece of cake will automatically appear?" Shanks put the straw hat back on his head, looking helplessly at the little girl who lowered her head and pretended she didn't exist.After finally gathering so many people, we can't let the protagonist stay here in a daze.

Sending a glance to Sergi next to him, Shanks took a step back, allowing the flames to re-illuminate Saray's vision.

"Squeak——, squeak—"

The squirrel's cry was particularly distinct from the noise of the pirates.

After moving her gaze forward slightly, Sha Lai saw a little squirrel walking towards this side dragging a wooden box bigger than its body.

This fluffy tail and long ear hair should be snow squirrels.How can this kind of squirrel, which is often treated as a pet, be a delivery man?

During the little time of her bewilderment, the poor little squirrel finally dragged the wooden box to her.Then it squeaked and jumped up and down around the box, as if urging her to open the box quickly.

After admiring the squirrel's unaesthetic dance, Shalai untied the rope on its body when the squeak gradually became smaller.Then, amidst its cheerful voice, she picked up the wooden box, glanced at Shanks who was standing beside him from the corner of her eye, and slowly opened it.

Inside the wooden box are round, plump, emerald green grapes with frost.

Let the squirrel give himself grapes?Shanks what does he mean?Wait, if she remembers correctly, last week's newspaper...

"Shanks" Sarai closed the wooden box with a smile, stood up, and looked tenderly at the red-haired pirate who was only two steps away from her, "This method of letting small animals give gifts to people was last week. Was it mentioned in the newspaper 'How to Heal a Wounded Child'?"

"Uh, yes." Seeing this kind of love, Shanks took a step back unconsciously, and said with a dry smile, "You don't like love?"

"How could it be?" Resisting the desire to smash the wooden box in her hand on the opponent's head, Shalai laughed so much that the squirrel at her feet stopped squeaking, and ran back to Sergi, wagging its tail, "Please Blessings, I feel that my spiritual wounds are completely healed now."

After finishing speaking, Sarai ignored Shanks who was smiling with a guilty face, and turned and left directly.

It's fine if it's just a mental injury, but it's completely unbearable to label her a child!Doesn't he know that there are boys and girls in the age group between children and adults!

Opening the wooden box angrily, she said that if it wasn't for the fact that the grapes were really delicious, she would definitely report on leaving the group today, and by the way encouraged Beckman to leave the group together.

"Boss, didn't you do it on purpose?" Seeing the back of the girl leaving angrily, Sergi comforted the shivering little squirrel in his hand, with a very helpless expression.

"Haha, it's because she is more energetic." Shanks didn't care about the rude words of his new crew member, he laughed and took a sip of wine, then slightly restrained his smile, and looked at his ship doctor, "Based on your observation just now, do you think there is anything wrong with her body?"

"If you just look at her complexion and spirit, she looks no different from a normal person. But without further inspection, I can't tell if that ability will bring other side effects to her body besides drowsiness." Ser Ji frowned slightly, obviously also confused by this side effect, "Such a serious side effect has never appeared in the devil fruit illustration book. I suspect that this is not the ability of the devil fruit at all."

"It doesn't matter if it's a devil fruit or not," Shanks said in a low voice, with a convincing tone, "Sergi, you and the other ship doctors should tell you that there is a chance to give Sha a check, I'm afraid What are the other sequelae of her ability?"

"I see. But Boss, she is now chatting with Beckman and Cook, and Cook just gave you a glare." Looking at Shanks who lost all momentum in front of him, he has always acted as a peacekeeper in the pirate group. Sergi, the troublemaker, says there's nothing he can do about the angry chef.

However, this little girl had only been on the Foss for less than half a month, so Cook put her in the gang so quickly.Even if Cook's personal reasons are excluded, it can also reflect that she is a good person from the side. After all, none of the cadres of their pirate group is a fool.

"The guy named Wright in the winery on the island hasn't been resolved yet. Boss, you have recruited another troublesome guy." The blond man who walked up to them raised his wooden stick and hooked the two glasses of wine on the wooden stand. It fell into the hands of him and Sergi, "You are so optimistic about this little girl? You called us back in a hurry."

"You'd better not underestimate her, Ikeo." Shanks looked at his suspicious partner, and the smile on his face deepened, "In time, she may surpass all of us."
