Bar encounter

The next second, Lime Jones moved again, turned his wrist, and the shadow of the stick flashed.

"Bang——"

The tall and thin man who was rushing in the front felt a flash before his eyes, and was hit in the chest by a long stick. He flew back into the restaurant like a kite with a broken string and hit the floor.

The window on the other side had already been guarded by Hongxiang. He grinned and swept his long stick across.

The men were hit on the ankles by the wind from the sticks and flew out like bowling balls, rolling to the ground, holding their legs and screaming in pain.

Sanji squatted in the corner, looked at the overturned food on the ground, clenched his fists, and said with a cold look: "These damn guys! Food is not meant to be wasted!"

The guests around the restaurant were also frightened by the incident and screamed and squatted down, making a mess. The chaotic noise in the restaurant became louder and louder.

Paddy grabbed the slicked-haired man by the back of his collar with one hand and walked towards the cashier like he was carrying a fat chicken: "Customer, you can't run away without paying."

"I'll pay! I'll pay!"

Anyway, those guys had already been punished, so Shanks had no intention of settling the score with them. His serious expression faded and became lazy.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Just then, a strange sound of footsteps was heard from the second floor.

A blond man wearing a very tall chef's hat appeared at the top of the stairs.

"Why is it so noisy?" Zhepu saw the chaotic scene on the first floor and couldn't help but twitch his lips. "Shorty, what's going on here?"

Sanji was squatting on the ground cleaning up the spilled food, without even looking up: "Stinky old man. This has nothing to do with you."

"What?" Zeff raised his eyebrows and jumped directly from the second floor, landing in front of Sanji with a thud.

The tall hat suddenly leaned forward and kept falling on Sanji's head: "You little bastard! This is my restaurant! How come it has nothing to do with me!"

"You old bastard! Are you sick? Why are you hitting me?"

Looking at the chaos before him, Shanks couldn't help but smile, "Hahahahaha, what a hot-tempered boss!"

Uta couldn't help but applaud: "Hahahaha~~Meli-chan, this restaurant on the sea is really fun."

Merry's shoulders shook with laughter. "Indeed, they are all very interesting people."

Beckman's eyes swept over Zeff's distinctive mustache, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly: "The boss, waiters, and chefs here seem to be pirates."

Shanks suddenly realized: "I see. No wonder these people are so fun~~"

"You actually know me? You're from... the Red Hair Pirates!" Zeff turned around, his golden beard trembling. "You're the ones running wild in my territory?"

Beckman slowly blew out a smoke ring.

"Red-footed Zeff is a somewhat famous figure in the Grand Line, but I didn't expect that his legend would be incomplete."

Beckman's eyes fell on the wooden prosthesis on Zhepu's right foot, with some regret in his eyes.

"I didn't expect that a big pirate like you would know me." Zhepu's eyebrows jumped, but he didn't care about Beckman's scrutiny. Instead, he asked fiercely, "Could it be that you are the cause of the chaos in my restaurant?"

He slammed his wooden prosthetic limbs into the ground, his golden beard swaying. "You dare to cause trouble in my restaurant? Have you ever thought about the consequences?"

Shanks gave an innocent smile: "Huh? We didn't do anything."

"Dirty old man, it wasn't their fault," Sanji said, having already picked up the food from the floor and placed it on a good plate. He stood up and explained, "It was those guests... Bah, those scumbags who had bad intentions, spoke rudely to Lady, and wasted food."

"What! How dare you waste food!" Zhepu was so angry that his beard and braids all stood up. "Paddy, demand triple compensation from those bastards! And kick them out!"

"No problem, Boss Zeff."

Paddy took Bailey in, picked up those people like chickens, and threw them hard.

Those people screamed and flew out of the restaurant.

Zhepu's arrival quickly quelled the riot.

"Dear guests, everything is fine now. Please continue your meal."

The restaurant was quiet for a while, and soon became lively again, as if the chaos just now had never happened.

Exquisite dishes were served to Meli and his companions.

The presentation of each dish is like a work of art, and it is very pleasing to the eye at first glance.

"I'm eating~~" Meli picked up the knife and fork and couldn't wait to cut a piece of steak.

She finally got to taste Sanji's cooking!!!

"Wow! It's really delicious!" A satisfied smile appeared on Meli's face.

Uta also picked up a fork and picked up the red side dish on the grilled steak: "What is this heart-shaped thing?"

Meili also forked a piece of heart-shaped side dish and put it in her mouth. Her eyes lit up instantly: "Delicious! It's sour and sweet, like a tomato."

Uta also ate one and was surprised: "Huh? It's a tomato after all, but why is it heart-shaped?"

Sanji came forward with a tray of drinks and explained with a smile, "These are love tomatoes, specially made for the ladies."

Gulishati looked at the cute little chef in front of her with eyes full of love: "Thank you. It must have taken a lot of effort to make it into this shape."

"As long as the ladies are happy, everything is worth it!"

Sanji smiled brightly, filled with happiness.

"If you like it, please eat more!"

The dishes Shanks ordered were served quickly. Although his movements were not rude, he ate very quickly and finished all his food in no time.

His eyes turned and fell on the steak in front of Merry.

"Why is there so much of this steak left? If you don't like it, I'll help you." Shanks said as he reached for the fork in his hand towards Merry's plate.

"Shanks!"

Just when Shanks' fork was about to touch the steak, Gulishati's fork suddenly intercepted the meat in Shanks' hand with lightning speed and threw it hard.

"Swoosh!" the half steak flew back to the plate in front of Meli.

Meli didn't even react, but in an instant, the meat on the plate was suddenly snatched away and suddenly flew back.

Witnessing all this, Sanji instantly twisted himself into a pretzel, his eyes turned into hearts, and his face was obsessed: "Ah! Even when the beautiful lady curses, she is so charming!"

Gulixiati frowned: "You actually snatched food from a child!"

Shanks smiled innocently: "Ah, why are you so stingy, Sister Shati? I just want to help Merry share some of the burden."

"No need! Merry is still growing, it's time to eat more! If you're not full, can't you just keep ordering?"

"That's right! That's right!" Merry and Uta nodded in unison, "Shanks, don't touch my flesh!"

The companions at the next table burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, boss, I'm being scolded again."

"It's the boss's fault for being stupid again."

"Boss, why don't you come to our table? We've ordered a lot of dishes."

"Okay, here I come."

——————

The night wind blew across an unknown island in the Sambas waters of the East China Sea.

The wind chimes at the door of the tavern were jingling.

Gulishati sat alone in the corner of the tavern, gently shaking the wine glass in her hand.

Her face was delicate and three-dimensional, and her figure was well-proportioned. Soon after she entered the bar, she attracted the attention of many men in the bar.

However, there was no smile on Gulishati's face. Her eyes were arrogant and stern, and she exuded an aura that kept people at a distance.

Although the men in the tavern were somewhat tempted, they gave up the idea of ​​approaching her and chatting her up after seeing her cold expression.

As the night deepened, the noise in the pub grew louder.

A man staggered in front of Gulishati.

"Hey, beautiful lady, you must be so lonely. Do you want to have a drink with me?" The man gave a devilish smile that he thought was charming.

Seeing the drunken man with a greasy belly, Gulixiati lost interest at all.

She frowned and waved her hand in disgust: "Get out!"

The man's companion sneered from a distance.

The man's face turned very ugly in an instant. He felt that he had lost face in front of his companions, and his words became dirty.

"Girl, I'm attracted to you, don't be shameless!"

Huh? Gulixiati curled the corners of her mouth and sneered.

She loves drinking, and every time she sails to a new place, she goes to the local tavern to try the local wine.

Because of her outstanding appearance, she often encounters many romantic encounters. Occasionally, she meets someone she likes and they fall in love with each other, so it's not bad to have a short-term relationship with them.

But those who were ungrateful and dared to force her, the grass on their graves is now so tall that no one knows how tall it is.

A hint of murderous intent flashed in Gulixiati's eyes, and she was just about to teach this ignorant man a lesson.

Unexpectedly, a big hand suddenly came from the side, grabbed the drunk's wrist, and stood between Gulishati and the drunk.

"Ah, la la, it's not a gentleman's behavior to treat a beautiful lady like this." A low and very magnetic voice sounded, with a lazy smile.

The first thing Gulishati sensed was that the temperature in the tavern seemed to have dropped by several degrees.

A tall figure stood in front of her. She looked up and saw a backlit shoulder, and above it was a head of naturally curly hair, as fluffy as a bath ball.

"Who are you? How dare you meddle in my business!" The drunk man was stopped from doing good things, and immediately raised his voice and yelled.

Kuzan's body was tall, and his shoulders were so broad that they completely blocked out everything that was happening.

Gulishati only felt a chill, and the man fell to the ground in horror.

His eyes were filled with fear, as if he had seen a ghost.

“Ah—a ghost—”

The man was a little sober now, howling like a ghost and crawling out of the tavern.

Gulishati vaguely saw that the man's arm seemed to be covered with a layer of transparent ice.
