nThe Man Who Conquered the World’s Greatest Swordsman

n“Oh? You recognize me, hahaha, don’t worry, you won’t go hungry.” Jepp laughed.

nHe had worked here for more than ten years, so it was normal for him to be recognized, but he had long retired, so it was nothing.

n“What do you mean?”

nFollowing Zhepp into the dining room, Leda whispered.

n“Old pirate.”

nKuro curled his lips and said, “He used to be a big pirate, but he has retired for so many years and ZF has stopped pursuing him, so we Marines naturally don’t care about him. Don’t worry about him, as long as there is food, if he doesn’t give it for free, I will arrest him.”

nIt’s not a big deal to catch a retired old pirate.

nHe was not Golden Lion.

nZeph, on the other hand, was laughing in his heart. You eat so seriously. How much can you eat?

n… .

nThe sound of plates stacking on top of each other echoed in the restaurant.

nMarines were distributed at other tables, and three people were sitting in the center.

nCrowe sat upright and pushed up his glasses from time to time. There was red wine and steak on the table.

nKuro was lazy and had a cigarette in his mouth. From time to time, he would look at White Hair, who was chewing on the side.

nThe table in front of Leda was piled with plates and she was eating.

nA few chefs beside him looked pale.

nAt first, the chefs despised Kuro because Leda was too hungry. They felt that the little girl should have been abused and was usually hungry.

nBut soon they felt that something was wrong.

nToo much food.

nHe really can eat a lot.

nIt was already the third round of the dinner.

nMany Marines had finished eating, but the number of chefs in the kitchen still did not decrease. Because of this little girl, the speed of eating was comparable to the speed of 80 Marines, and it was like a bottomless pit.

nThe dishes that had just been served were gone in the blink of an eye. They needed to serve the dishes non-stop to ensure that Leda would not stop eating.

nKuro smoked his cigarette, not to show that it was none of his business, but to let the chefs inadvertently understand that Leda’s appetite is endless.

nIt was really fun to watch the chefs’ faces go from doting to weird to angry and finally to dejected.

nSigh, raising a foodie is so scary and boring.

n“Chef, there are not enough ingredients!”

nSomeone started shouting in the kitchen.

nZhepp walked out of the kitchen with a depressed look on his face. He looked at Leda, who was still eating, and forced a smile. “Little friend, how is the food?”

n“Well, not bad, 60% full!”

nLeda nodded heavily, still chewing. “Balati is indeed Balati. The food is delicious, much better than the branch canteen!”

n“Six points…”

nZhepp was stunned for a moment and laughed. “You’re not full yet. Well, as a chef, I won’t lose to the guests!”

nHe walked back into the kitchen and his roar came from inside. “Now go and buy ingredients. You must let the guests eat their fill. This is the meaning of Barati’s existence. Fight, this is a fight!”

nImmediately, a chef left Barati and took a ship to buy ingredients.

n“Kuro, is it not good for me to eat like this?”

nAfter finishing another plate, Leda licked her oily lips and asked worriedly.

n“You, a foodie, are still worried about the consequences? Don’t worry and eat. The chefs here all have a fighting heart. Eating is fighting. You won’t stop until you are fed.”

nKuro said easily.

nThere was a town near Barati, and soon the procurement ship came back, and the cooks began to fight on, and Leda… of course she was happy to have something to eat.

nThis meal lasted until late at night.

n“I’m full. I haven’t eaten so much in a long time. It’s so comfortable.”

nLeda leaned back without a care for her image, touched her round belly and breathed a long sigh of relief.

n“Kuro, this is a good place. Let’s go back to East Blue after going to Headquarters. I want to eat here again.”

nKuro glanced at the exhausted chefs and the corners of his mouth twitched.

nBe kind and spare these people.

n“Letting our guests eat their fill is our Balati’s biggest purpose.”

nObviously also very tired, Zhepp forced himself to walk out and squeezed out a smile.

nWhat a loss!

nAt this moment, he hated himself for saying that. Why did he have to treat her? Why did this little girl eat so much?

nOf course, Kuro would not really let this old man lose everything. After all, Leda ate too much. Before he left, he kept the bounty of eight million Berries, which would also share some of his credit.

nThe Marines boarded the ship. Those who needed to rest rested, and those who needed to sail sailed. Their target was Rogue Town.

n… .

n“Rogue Town…”

nCrowe looked at the approaching town and sighed.

n“Huh? Been here?” Kuro asked.

n“No, I didn’t think about going to Grand Line. This is my first time here.”

nCrowe said, “Besides, there is a Colonel Smoker here. Since he came, pirates can’t land in Roguetown.”

nIn the early years, Rogue Town was still very chaotic. Pirates often gathered here in order to go to the Grand Line.

nBut since Smoker took office, this place has become peaceful.

nAfter all, it was a Logia.

n‘What? You said he was weak?’

nYou have to see who you are competing with.

nKuro empathized a little. Two years later, Smoker will become a Headquarters Vice-Admiral and go to the New World. Look at what kind of perverts he will encounter.

nShichibukai Doflamingo, a great pervert born with Haoshoku Haki.

nVirgo, a big pervert who can be fully armed with Armament Haki. His Haki and Body Technique are top-notch.

nLuo, the fruit ability has been developed to be very strong, and later on, it became Shichibukai.

nThere is still a gap between him and Hawkeye. If he is too exposed and is sent to the New World and entangled with Yonkō (Four Emperors), he will not be able to survive.

n“Keep a low profile, you must keep a low profile!” Kuro clenched his fists.

nThe Battleship docked and a group of Marines escorted the Krieg Pirates to the Marine Base.

nAt the same time, in the Marine base.

n“Colonel Smoker, the 153rd Division Warrant Officer in the report, Luciru Kuro, has arrived!”

nIn the smoke-filled room, a Marine reported to the figure.

n“Quiet, a branch commandant is here. What’s the big deal?”

nA deep voice sounded.

n“Yes! I heard that Warrant Officer Kuro stopped the Horizontal Expedition of his branch, Colonel Mongkar, and captured a 6 million ability user, so he was allowed to enter the headquarters to study.”

n“Oh, a Marine with some ability, but so what.”

n“They also captured the Krieg Pirates!”

nClack.

nThe stacked high stones on the table fell.

nThe figure stood up and pushed open the window. The smoke gradually dissipated. Smoker held two cigars in his mouth and said in surprise, “Krieg Pirates? A branch commandant?”

nTap tap tap …

nThere was a series of footsteps outside. Smoker looked out of the window and saw a group of Marines escorting a group of pirates.

nThe leader was wearing a fur coat with ‘Justice’ printed on the back. He looked very lazy.

nBeside him was a white-haired child chewing snacks.

nThere was also a slender man in a black suit and glasses.

n“That man…”

nSmoker’s eyes stopped on the man in the suit. “He looks familiar.”

n“Colonel Smoker, Colonel Smoker!”

nA woman’s voice came along the corridor. The woman with glasses was holding a knife and said breathlessly, “There’s big news!”

n“Tashigi, how many times have I told you not to be hasty.”

nSmoker frowned. “What big news.”

nTashigi looked excited. “Hawkeye, Hawkeye came to East Blue. He competed with a Marine in East Blue and claimed that Marine was qualified to compete for the throne of the world’s number one swordsman! That’s the throne of the world’s number one swordsman. It’s amazing!”

n“Oh? That Hawkeye actually said such a thing.”

nSmoker was shocked. “Which Marine?”

n“I heard it’s a Marine from the branch. His name seems to be… Crowe, yes, Crowe!”

nSmoker looked at the man in the black suit below. “It sounds familiar. Interesting.”

n
