Wang Han nodded, activated the radar, and quickly scanned the sea for hundreds of miles around, tracking his target. In his hand, four golden, transparent chains shot out of the restaurant and disappeared into the space outside the restaurant (wall-penetrating ability).
The chefs had just brought out and arranged all the cooking utensils when Wang Han retracted the golden chain in his hand. Along with the golden transparent chain, the ingredients that Zhefu had mentioned were also retrieved, all present and accounted for. The near-sea king, over a hundred meters in size, was bound to the side of the ship by the golden transparent chain, unable to move.
Seeing the ingredients that Wang Han had brought back with the golden, transparent chain, Zhefu suppressed his surprise and quickly picked up his cooking utensils to get to work.
Without using any existing seasonings or side dishes, he used locally sourced ingredients. Soon, a plate of chilled, sliced raw meat was placed in front of Wang Han. The meat slices were still slightly twitching, retaining a certain vitality.
After rinsing his mouth with water, Wang Han picked up a slice of sea king meat and put it in his mouth. He carefully savored it, nodded in satisfaction, and said, "The essence and vitality of the food are almost completely preserved, and the taste is also very delicious. This dish has satisfied me."
"I'm glad I'm satisfied," Zeff nodded, letting out a sigh of relief.
“I am indeed satisfied. I am satisfied not only with this dish, but also with your cooking skills.” Wang Han nodded and then said, “I need a chef who can cook all kinds of delicious food for me on a long-term basis, and so far only your cooking skills can satisfy me. As a condition and reward, I can heal your foot, and maybe I can even take you to ALLBLUE (a place with all the ingredients).”
"You old geezer." Sanji looked at Zeff with concern after hearing Wang Han's words. Zeff and he both dreamed of finding ALLBLUE, but this man, who was covered in a thick layer of blood, was too dangerous.
Zeff glanced at Sanji, hesitated for a moment, and then said to Wang Han, "I'm sorry, maybe..."
“I rarely ask someone to stay, and very few people dare to refuse me. Before you say that, you’d better think about your dreams and the consequences of refusing me.” Wang Han interrupted Zhefu and glanced at everyone in the restaurant.
"As expected, this guy has shown his true colors." Kuina thought to herself upon hearing Wang Han's threatening words. Wang Han had previously stated he was looking for a chef, which was why he had come here specifically; he wasn't about to give up so easily.
"You..." Upon hearing Wang Han's threatening words, Sanji became furious and rushed towards Wang Han, while the chefs also picked up their cooking utensils.
"Get out of my way, you brat." Zeff slapped Sanji away, who was trying to attack Wang Han, and cursed, "My affairs are none of your business, you brat. Finding ALLBLUE is my dream, and curing my crippled leg is more important to me than anything else."
After scolding Sanji, Zeff instructed the chefs behind him, "Keep a close eye on Sanji. He's not allowed to leave until he's mastered the cooking."
After saying that, Zhefu came to Wang Han's side and said to Wang Han, "Sir, I am willing to be your chef."
“You old geezer…” Sanji stared at Zeff, then fell silent.
"A wise decision." Wang Han glanced at Zhefu, but didn't expose him. He then used Kamui to take Zhefu and Kuina away from the restaurant.
"Sanji." After Wang Han and his men disappeared, the chefs looked around and gathered around Sanji, looking at the silent Sanji with concern.
"I'm fine." Sanji held back his tears, stood up as if nothing was wrong, and dusted himself off. He said, "That old man is right. I haven't mastered cooking yet, and I have no right to stop him from achieving his dream. I will work hard to practice my cooking skills."
After saying that, Sanji walked towards the kitchen, his fists clenched tightly the whole time. Zeff's slap had stunned him, but it had also brought him to his senses. He was utterly powerless against such a powerful being; the other's mere aura was enough to make his legs tremble. His recklessness would only bring trouble to everyone. Zeff had sacrificed himself to save everyone else.
Once inside the kitchen, Sanji could no longer hold back and burst into tears.
(Happy Lunar New Year's Eve everyone. I've been leaving plot holes in these past few chapters.)
