Chapter 302 Do You Want to Get on My Boat?
"Hey, old man, this ship belongs to me. You guys either join us or get out." Dick said this confidently after weighing the fighting strength of both sides.
He now has all the people and weapons he needs, and all he needs is a pirate ship to go out to sea. Although this ship does not look impressive at all, it is just the right amount to let people relax their vigilance, and the ship is big enough so he can modify it however he wants in the future.
Zhefu had seen too many self-righteous people, so he said calmly: "If you are here to eat, you are always welcome here. If you are here to cause trouble, please leave."
"It seems that the negotiations have broken down. There is nothing we can do. What a pity." Dick stood up. He originally thought that it would be a good idea to take the cook here with him, but now it seems that he has no choice but to kill him.
Some of Dick's men drew their knives and some drew their guns. They formed a semicircle and slowly approached the guests and chefs.
"It's not too late to regret now," said Dick.
But how could Zhefu and his men give in? For a moment, the atmosphere between the two sides was tense.
“This is delicious.”
“This one, too.”
"This portion is too small, please order a few more later."
While other guests were stepping back, the people at table 7 looked out of place as they were eating heartily.
"Big guy over there, could you please give me another portion of these marked ones?" Zhang Da also reached out and handed the menu to Paddy.
"Yes, customer!" Paddy rushed over reflexively and took the menu with a smile on his face , then turned around and changed his expression instantly, "Those who are not customers, please get out."
"You guys... who are you looking down on?" Dick was furious. What was wrong with this restaurant? The diners and the chefs all ignored him. He was a future pirate!
"Please serve the food faster." Zhang Da was only concerned with urging the food to be served and ignored Dick. He seemed to feel a little invisible happiness of showing off.
I'll just taunt them again. If they start to fight, I'll just block them with a piece of iron and then just say, "You don't even have the strength to fight, but you want to learn to be a pirate." Zhang Da was also designing a script for himself and laughed out loud.
This laugh just ignited Dick's anger. He originally wanted to rob these rich people after robbing the ship, but now he didn't care about that: "Kill them!"
Bang, bang, bang! At Dick's command, several guns opened fire at the same time, aiming at Zhang Daye.
Before Zhang Daye could pose, Zhepu stood in front of Zhang Daye and raised his right foot and swept it fiercely.
Even though he had lost his right foot, the wind from his prosthetic leg alone was enough to stop the bullet from flying and make it fall to the ground with a clang.
Zhang Da also slurped up a mouthful of the thick soup, feeling a little disappointed. His chance to show off was gone. This old man was too good at it.
"What happened?" Dick stared at Zhepu's legs stupidly. This kind of thing was beyond his imagination.
"Let's get it done quickly and don't keep the customers waiting." Zhefu folded his arms, looking like a master.
Paddy was the first to respond: "Don't even think about disturbing the gods' meal! Bastards, let them see how powerful a battle chef is!"
"Oh!!!" The chefs were full of energy and rushed into the crowd with weapons in hand.
Dick and his men were stunned. Are these people really chefs?
Why is the chef so fast? Why is the chef's fist so powerful? Why is the chef's knife skills so good?
In less than five minutes, the twenty or so would-be pirates were all knocked down and tied up by the chefs. Koyama even mixed into the crowd and wiped the tables and mopped the floor.
Paddy slapped Dick on the back of the head. "You dare to come to Baratie to cause trouble, ugh!"
The chefs looked at the embarrassed would-be pirates and laughed, as if they were thinking about how to teach these guys a lesson.
"Don't get too proud, our battle isn't over yet." Zhefu glanced at table number 7. For a chef, filling the stomachs of the guests at this table was the real victory.
"Yes!" The chefs dragged the would-be pirates away and then returned to the kitchen to continue the unfinished battle.
Zhefu stayed and said to all the guests in the restaurant: "I am sorry to disturb your meal. As an apology, Barati is willing to give each person a dessert."
This was not his responsibility at all, and no one was hurt. If you have to blame someone, blame them for not leaving after dinner and insisting on staying to watch the fun. Zhefu felt that just a little token of his respect was enough to calm down.
After experiencing this, the guests didn't want to stay here any longer, but it was foreseeable that they would tell their acquaintances about this incident when they returned.
By then, many people will know that Barati not only cooks delicious food, but can also protect customers' safety from pirates. The business will probably get better and better in the future.
After the other guests left, the second half of the game between Barati Restaurant and Amber Travel Group officially began.
The first to be eliminated was still Ye Yan. Although he was much stronger than when he first arrived, he was still no match for the non-humans. He stretched and prepared to go back to the boat for a nap.
Next was Shark Chili. He didn’t use up much energy today, so he didn’t need to replenish too much food.
Afterwards, Perona, Wendy, and Xia Lulu said they were full, but they still ate desserts in small bites at the table. They had another stomach specifically for desserts.
The rest are real big eaters. There is no need to say much about Altria and Rui Mengmeng. Zhang Daye’s appetite has increased again since he mastered dark energy. This is a symbol of becoming stronger.
Tom watched his belly grow rounder and rounder, but his mouth still kept talking. Now he was sitting on a chair, and the legs of the chair were shaking and could break at any time.
As for Brook, Old Bone's appetite is also a mystery. Zhang Da still hasn't figured out where the food he eats and the water he drinks goes. Does it directly merge into his soul?
This meal took more than three hours, almost from noon to night.
Altria picked up the napkin and wiped her mouth, still feeling a little unsatisfied. Now, Zeff was the only one left standing in the entire Barati.
The other chefs were all slumped in the kitchen: "What...what an amazing appetite! We lose this time..."
Paddy was so emotional that he almost burst into tears: "I am so derelict in my duty for not being able to serve the guests until the end! Wuuwuwu..."
The waiter had fainted. He was just an ordinary person and he couldn't keep running back and forth for too long. His last thought before he fell into a coma was that if he could survive, he must resign.
Sanji served as a waiter almost all the time in the second half, and he was not much better. Although he was a scientifically modified human, his bloodline factor was not activated, and his physical fitness was no different from that of an ordinary child. He was able to hold on only because of his perseverance.
"Ms. Altria looks so beautiful when she wipes her mouth..." Sanji decided to appreciate the beautiful scenery for a while before asking about ALL-BLUE.
Zhefu brought up the last dessert and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, the ingredients are almost gone, and the chef's energy has reached its limit. I'm really sorry that I couldn't give you a satisfactory dining experience."
Altria scooped a small piece of pudding with a small spoon and put it into her mouth, her eyes closed in happiness. It took her a while to realize that Zeff was talking to her.
"I am very satisfied. This is the best restaurant I have ever seen." Altria gave the chef an appreciative smile. This restaurant is almost comparable to a food street. The most rare thing is that it takes into account both speed and food quality.
"Really? It's our honor to receive such an evaluation." Zhefu smiled with satisfaction. Such praise was the most pleasant thing for him.
"Thank you for your hard work. It's rare to have a restaurant that allows us to have such a great time." Zhang Da also put the small box containing the money in front of Zhefu and opened it.
"I haven't had time to calculate the detailed bill yet." Zhefu roughly counted the money in the box, "But this much money..."
"It's okay, no need to look for it." Zhang Da also planned to be generous for once. It was rare for him to let Altria enjoy the meal so much.
Zhefu said with some embarrassment: "Well... I mean, these may not be enough."
Zhang Daye: ...
“Ha…hahaha…” Zhang Da also laughed awkwardly, “Then you guys take your time to calculate first, and I’ll make up for the shortfall later.”
"Excuse me for a moment." Zhefu turned and left. Normally, the bill should have been calculated before the guests finished their meal, but this time he had no time to calculate it, so he could only ask them to wait a little longer.
After resting for a while, Xiao Sanji recovered a lot of his strength. As soon as Zeff left, he rushed over like a whirlwind and said, "Ms. Altria, are you satisfied with the taste of the food here?"
"It tastes delicious." Altria asked, "Are there any dishes you cooked here?"
“No, the old guy said my level is not good enough. But I will work hard, and I will definitely be able to cook better than them in the future!” Sanji was full of energy.
Altria encouraged, "Then I'll look forward to it. Come on."
Xiao Sanji began to get carried away: "Yes! Next time I will make a sumptuous love dinner for Miss Altria!"
Zhang Daye held Sanji's head and pushed him back - he was almost close to Altria: "What are you doing here?"
"Oh, right!" Sanji remembered his purpose, "Are you really from the Grand Line?"
"Yes." Zhang Da also nodded.
"Well, have you heard of ALL-BLUE? Do you know where ALL-BLUE is?" Sanji looked at them expectantly.
Chubby Tom tilted his head. ALL-BLUE, I seem to have heard it somewhere before.
Maybe it was because of the tilt of his head, but the chair finally couldn't bear Tom's weight. All four legs broke with a snap. Tom rolled out, knocking over two sets of tables and chairs like a bowling ball, and stopped in the corner.
Then Tom followed the principle of sleeping where he fell, touched his big belly and fell asleep.
"Well, what's going on?" Sanji didn't notice this strange creature just now. It seemed like a cat when it came in?
"Uh... sorry, we will compensate for the chair." Zhang Da has long been used to it. Apart from paying for Altria, the place where he spends the most money is paying for the things that Tom broke.
"If the ALL-BLUE you are talking about is the place where all kinds of food from all over the world are gathered, then I have heard of it, but unfortunately I don't know where it is." Altria said regretfully. Such a place was interesting to think about.
"So ALL-BLUE really exists!" This answer was enough for Sanji. No matter where it was, as long as it existed, he could always find it.
"It doesn't matter whether it exists or not. We're just looking for it while we travel around the world. Even if we don't find ALL-BLUE, we can taste every kind of food when we travel to every corner of the world." Zhang Da also conveyed his own theory to Sanji:
“Maybe the real ALL-BLUE is something like this. Let the chef travel around the world, experience every kind of food, and then choose a favorite place to stop and show his or her cooking skills without reservation. Such a place is the chef’s own ALL-BLUE.”
"Huh?" Sanji was stunned by what Zhang Da said. After all, he was from the Grand Line, so what he said was inherently more credible to outsiders.
"For example, for the head chef, Mr. Zhefu, this restaurant may be his ALL-BLUE?"
Sanji looked towards the kitchen blankly. Is that so? This restaurant is what the old man cares about the most. Is this the ALL-BLUE he is looking for?
Finally, Zhang Da also showed his true colors and suggested with a smile: "If you also want to find ALL-BLUE, you will have to leave this restaurant sooner or later. So, do you want to get on my boat and travel with us until you find the ALL-BLUE in your heart?"
Although Sanji's cooking skills are not very good now and he has basically no strength, Zhang Da is not greedy for his fighting power. The main purpose of bringing him here is to make him Tom's chef apprentice, which may not be worse than learning from Zeff. It can also allow Tom to move one step closer to his lofty goal of eating and sleeping well. Of course, if there is a chance to kidnap him, we should try it.
"Leave here?" Unfortunately, although Altria and Rui Mengmeng were very beautiful, and Zhang Daye's proposal was very tempting, Sanji still shook his head firmly, "I still have things I must do. I don't agree with you yet, ALL-BLUE, I will find it myself in the future!"
"Oh." Zhang Da also sighed. It is really hard to fool children nowadays. They are only 9 years old but they have such firm beliefs. What were you doing when you were nine years old?
After the conversation here, Zeff came out with the bill to pay. He heard everything that happened just now and didn't say anything about Sanji's choice.
In his opinion, Sanji is still young, and his cooking and fighting skills are still very immature. He wants to teach all his skills to Sanji.
However, if Sanji chooses to leave with Zhang Da, Zeff will not stop him, because he supports Sanji in pursuing his dream and does not want him to be bound by his "favor". The Amber Travel Group is strong enough and their character is trustworthy in his opinion, so they are a good choice.
For Sanji, Zeff really cares about him like his own father.
After checking the bill, Zhang Da also took out a rice cooker like a magic trick, and took out stacks of Baileys from the rice cooker in the astonished eyes of Sanji and Tetsuo. In the end, he was left with enough money to buy a Crocodile.
"By the way, have you heard about the news of a group of fish-man pirates?" Zhang Da also asked before leaving.
He has not forgotten about Aaron. Aaron destroyed a town and ruled dozens of villages. If he can find it, he still wants to prevent that tragedy.
But Zhang Da couldn’t remember when that guy came to Donghai, so he just asked around here. After all, he was more informed about the news about opening restaurants.
