Chapter 640 Attracting Bees and Butterflies Mihawk

As night fell, the tea party gradually became lively. Instead of a big banquet, it used a way that was not in line with people's inherent style of Totland - a buffet.

Moreover, it is an open-air buffet, and more importantly, the ingredients of the buffet are brought by the guests, and the chefs of the buffet are the guests.

Those young people who participated in the Chef King Competition today, as well as their team, have become the chefs of the tea party at this time, but no chef will feel impatient.

Unexpectedly, in the Charlotte family, there are many ladies who like food and cooking. They are all hanging out in various open-air kitchens at this time, communicating with the chefs.

Before these young chefs came to the tea party, they had already been told the purpose of this tea party, which was to attract the attention of the ladies of the Charlotte family, and it was best to make them favor them.

Although the latter seems to have not been achieved now, it has indeed successfully attracted their attention, and even some of the quick-response ones are already teaching them hand in hand.

However, in the venue, the team that got the highest score in the Chef King Contest didn't even turn on the stove or the oven. Chef Sanji was sitting on a high stool next to the sink in the corner smoking. smoky.

In fact, Sanji was very excited when he entered the main venue with other teams participating in the Chef King Competition in the afternoon, because it is very likely that he will see that girl again.

Although the little girl who secretly tasted her own seasoning had only been in contact for less than a minute, Sanji felt that the most suitable partner for him was this little girl who loved food.

As for Luffy who also stole the seasoning, he is an idiot.

Sanji even thought about the possibility that the girl he met was actually one of Katakuri's younger sisters. If so, wouldn't it be perfect?

Only after entering the main venue, he kept observing until the sister group of the Charlotte family appeared, and Sanji became so disappointed because he didn't see the girl.

It's not that he dislikes that girl because she is not from the Charlotte family, but that it will be difficult for him to find that girl again.

After all, there are too many "foreign personnel" gathered in Totland, and various forces have brought their own outstanding young people, and Sanji doesn't know if there are other "tracks".

In the culinary field alone, he saw that half of the team was persuaded to leave today. They didn't even have the qualifications to participate in the tea party.

Therefore, it is very likely that the girl followed the boat that left Cake Island and left the place where they met.

Not only that, but there was an even more disturbing thought in Sanji's mind, that is, what if the girl didn't leave, but was brought by other forces to have a blind date with those strange men in Totland?

What if that girl, like him and his enchantment, was entrusted and even ordered by her parents to go against her will and marry those strange men?

Or, that girl likes these grotesque men.

"Huh~"

Strangling his own thoughts, Sanji took a long puff of smoke, and then scratched his hair in annoyance.

Looking up, looking at his partners, Luffy is running around in various open-air kitchens to commit crimes. No matter what kind of food it is, he has to eat a big plate.

Sauron was talking strange things to those with swords, or asking them if they knew where the man named Cavendish was.

At this time, Usopp was sitting in front of a few children brought by an unknown force, talking about his great adventure from the East China Sea to this new world.

Robin, Nami, and Gallot were chatting with some daughters who looked like nobles. As for the three of Pedro and the younger brother Bebo, they were constantly patrolling to see if there was any illegal activity. staged.

Frankie and Chopper performed human acrobatics alone, while a raccoon modeled various human acrobatics that the human body could never do.

The partners are very happy, except for Kinemon and Momanosuke who are still on the pirate ship, and Abel who is sitting under the candy tree without looking at Sanji, he seems out of place with these environments.

Sanji stood up, went to sit next to him, looked at this Abel who just joined the team not long ago, but always looks like a reliable big brother, and asked:

"Abel, don't you like parties?"

Abel shook his head and said, "I have attended too many boring banquets. The food, wine, and beauties are nothing but prosperous."

Sanji handed over a cigarette, Abel waved his hand, indicating that he didn't smoke, Sanji took it back, and asked with a trace of teasing: "Aren't beauties interested?"

"I don't have that much enthusiasm. The emotions I have left may only be enough for me to be happy or sad once."

Hearing Abel's words, Sanji blinked. It was hard to imagine Abel's state, because there was never any lack of enthusiasm on board the straw hat boat, whether it was laughter, anger, or sadness, they were all very "enthusiastic".

But Abel seems to have never shown such emotions. In retrospect, this big brother is helpless other than speechless, or he is as calm as he is now.

Abel didn't expect this young man to understand him. He raised his head and said, "Your family is here."

Sanji's expressions and movements were all paused when he heard the words, and then he followed Abel's gaze, and saw a few people walking in the distance, they were the "family" he hadn't seen for many years.

In the distance, Jiaji, who was originally a little dissatisfied, seemed to have noticed Sanji at this time, and his expression became weird. Behind him, the three sons were still expressionless.

As the eldest daughter, Reiju, the moment she saw Sanji, the almost invisible disappointment and doubt in her eyes instantly disappeared, replaced by slow surprise.

She also asked her father today, but Gaji's answer was "It's none of your business", which made Reiju think that Sanji would not come, but she was extremely disappointed, but just happened to see the man who was looking towards here Sanji.

Reiju wanted to run over to give her younger brother a hug, but seeing Gage's complicated expression, she held back her urge, after all, Vinsmoke's children shouldn't be like that.

"Huh!"*2

Gaji and Sanji made a nasal sound almost at the same time. Gaji frowned and walked towards Sanji. Reiju was overjoyed, and her steps couldn't help but briskly, but after two steps, she walked towards Sanji again. Normalcy returned.

And Sanji looked at Gaji angrily at this time, as well as several of his children, and his brothers, all wearing that disgusting-looking battle uniform at this time, but only

My sister, however, put on a fancy dress, and even took care of her hair and makeup.

And the reason why my so-called father did this is self-evident. To put it bluntly, he intends to let Reiju attract those weird-looking people from the Charlotte family.

At this time, Jiaji and his party also came to Sanji, Jiaji looked at Sanji with complicated eyes, and Sanji's brothers, after glancing at Sanji's dirty clothes, all Showed a mocking look.

Only Reiju, when looking at Sanji, blinked her eyes twice quickly, and then the corners of her mouth were slightly curled up. Although she hasn't knocked down the level of smiling, it is obvious that this is the maximum she can show. up.

"You're still here."

Gaji calmed down, and said to Sanji coldly, Sanji threw the cigarette butt in his mouth under his feet and stamped it out, then took out another one and lit it, without looking at his father.

Instead, he turned his head to look in the direction of Candy Castle, and then said: "Katakuri hasn't come out yet, you still have time to take back your ridiculous plan."

Hearing the conversation between the two, Reiju, who was originally full of surprises, also realized that the atmosphere was not right, she frowned slightly and looked at her father.

Gage heard the words, but said coldly: "Ridiculous? Are you the one to be ridiculous? Do you think that you can do something wrong in Totland?"

"he can."

Suddenly, Abel, who was leaning against the candy tree, but still tall, spoke suddenly. Gage also looked towards the candy tree at this time. When he found that it was Abel, the corners of his eyes also twitched.

However, he quickly stabilized his emotions, and then said: "Who am I? So it's Mr. Abel? But... have you misunderstood something?

You are no longer the flame embers of the Hundred Beasts Pirates, but just a follower of a poor boy in the East China Sea. Do you think you can leave alive after committing misdeeds in Totland? "

Abel stood up slowly, looked down at the "little" Gage, and said, "You don't have to worry about whether we can walk or not, because you won't have the life to think about these things by then."

Hearing Abel's naked threat, Gage's eyes widened suddenly, and then he pretended to be calm and said: "Are you going to attack me now? If it's too late, I will let Mr. Katakuri know that you are threatened his guests."

Abel shook his head and said: "Killing you can be done at any time, you can go to sue, but Katakuri will really treat you as a person who is looking for a living space Guest?"

Sanji also smiled when he heard the words, took the cigarette from his mouth, and said, "Exchange your own children for the soil of survival, is a scum like you worthy of being a father?"

Hearing that his father was insulted, Iji, Niji, and Yuji behind Gaji almost instinctively wanted to attack Sanji and Abel.

But the next moment, a flame suddenly ignited behind Abel, and Sanji raised his knees slightly, as if preparing for battle.

"stop!"

Gaji also turned his head at this time, and whispered to his three sons, it would be fine if he just shot Sanji, but Abel

Hearing that, the three of Iji also stopped attacking, Reiju frowned at this time, looked at her own attire, then at Iji's attire, and fell silent.

And the commotion here also attracted the attention of some people. Many guests who participated in the tea party, or people from the Charlotte family, all looked towards this side.

Soon, Smoothie, one of the stars of the Big Mom Pirates, noticed the situation here, and walked towards this side with those long legs.

She looked at the furious Abel and said, "Abel, do you want to make trouble in Totland?!"

Abel looked at this woman who became famous very early, and was hailed as the three generals of Totland together with Katakuri, and said, "If necessary, yes."

Abel's frankness made Smoothie stunned. When she found out that Abel appeared in Cake Island, she immediately went to confirm with her elder brother and second brother.

But the eldest brother Perospero said that there was no Abel or the Straw Hats in the invitation list, but Katakuri agreed with them to stay.

Originally, Smoothie had a problem with Abel, an uninvited person, but when he heard that he dared to blatantly say that he was going to make trouble in Totland, he became even more angry.

In an instant, she reached out and grabbed the huge sword hanging behind her back.

"Katakuri-san! Mom! Perospero-san!"

At this time, in the Candy Castle, a girl holding a telescope through the window of Candy and looking at the situation outside suddenly turned her head and shouted eagerly.

Katakuri, who was listening to his mother complaining that the dinner was not as good as the afternoon tea, also raised his head when he heard the words, looked out of the window pointed by his sister, got up and walked over, and asked at the same time: "What's wrong? Brin?"

However, he was too tall, and he walked to Brin's side in two steps. Before Brin could answer, Katakuri was already standing by the window and saw the scene that Brin was referring to.

But after just a glance, he withdrew his gaze and said, "It's okay, by the way, Brin, why don't you go out to play? I heard from Garrett and the others that you ran out this afternoon, why are you staying here now?" gone?"

"I want to spend more time with my mother."

Brin lowered her head, thinking of the very considerate chef she met in the afternoon, her face turned red, Katakuri instantly realized something was wrong, frowned, and looked at the situation in the distance again.

Seeing the young man with blond hair, his eyes gradually narrowed. If I remember correctly, the Straw Hats were able to enter the main venue because of this young chef, right?

For a moment, Katakuri wanted to go out and interfere in this matter, and take a good look at the young man by the way, but...it's a bit late to go out now, and the conflict is destined not to break out.

"Look! There's Mayor over there! Sure enough, you can't miss this at the ball!"

Outside, when the atmosphere gradually became tense, a crisp voice sounded, and Smoothie, who was interrupted, turned and glared, but he could only turn his head unwillingly.

It wasn't the one who spoke up. The girl who was holding an umbrella at night had nothing to worry about. The key was the man next to her who was wearing a top hat, a dress coat but no shirt, and a great crossed sword hanging from his back.

This kind of decoration is quite recognizable in this sea, because only one person can wear it like this, and gradually, it has become the only one who can wear it like this.

"The world's greatest swordsman! Hawkeye Joracle Mihawk!"

At this time, exclamations came from the crowd. Mihawk's popularity in this sea is not low, and he can even be said to be the most famous people.

At this time, Perona beside him also noticed this scene. Seeing that everyone only paid attention to Mihawk and no one cared about her, she said a little unhappy:

"Mihawk, they only have you in their eyes, you must be very proud, right? You must be very proud?"

"Noisy."

Mihawk said flatly, Perona's eyes lit up inexplicably, and then said: "I also think they are very noisy."

"I am talking about you."

"Mihawk!!! You hum!"

Perona was furious, but she still followed Mihawk. After all, she was surrounded by strangers. Even if she left, she seemed to have nowhere to go.

Mihawk also looked in the direction of Abel and Smoothie at this time, then withdrew his gaze, and continued to walk forward, his steps were not in a hurry, and those people in front of him also spontaneously moved out of the way up the road.

"Mr. Mihawk!"

Suddenly, another voice sounded from behind. An extremely handsome young man was also running towards this direction, which also aroused some voices, but they were all brighter female voices.

"Mr. Mihawk, long time no see."

Cavendish didn't pay attention to his fans, but followed Mihawk's footsteps sideways like a fan of an idol. Mihawk nodded and said:

"You seem to have made some progress. I will give you a chance to challenge me when I am free."

Mihawk's words were very arrogant, but after speaking through his calm voice, it was like the truth. Cavendish's eyes also showed stars, and said:

"Really? Actually, I've wanted to challenge you for a long time, but I've always been afraid of disturbing you. If you have time, how about we just have a few days, okay?"

"Is that him? The young man you said is qualified to challenge you."

At this time, another voice sounded, and a green algae head emerged from the crowd, looking at Cavendish dissatisfied.

Before leaving Krajgana Island, Sauron made a formal challenge to Mihawk, but was rejected by Mihawk because Sauron at that time was not even qualified to challenge him.

Because Sauron has failed once before, if he wants to challenge again, he must raise the threshold.

When Zoro asked what step he needed to reach before he was eligible to challenge Mihawk again, the answer Mihawk gave was that there was a young man named Cavendish, and if he defeated Cavendish, he would be almost qualified up.

That's why he rarely raised his fighting spirit when he heard that he was coming to Totland to make trouble, because this bastard Cavendish lived in Totland, and if he wanted to defeat him, he had to come to Totland.

"You were... as I recall, a supernova two years ago."

Cavendish looked at Sauron with a little contempt in his eyes. Since he lived in Totland, he rarely received outside information, but Sauron still remembered it.

Because when I went to Totland two years ago, I read some information, including Luffy's information. At that time, Sauron was mentioned in Luffy's information.

However, in the eyes of Cavendish, the title of supernova is nothing, and it seems that no one is the same.

Moreover, this young man dared to interrupt his conversation with Mr. Mihawk. Thinking of this, Cavendish even felt a little more dissatisfied.

Perona looked at this scene, showed a very weird smile, and said, "Hey~~~Mihawk, the bees and butterflies you provoke are all crazy about you~"

"If you can't speak, you don't have to."

Mihawk looked at Perona speechlessly. This girl is actually good in everything, except that she has an open mouth.

Cavendish also got some meaning from Perona's words at this time. He looked at Mihawk and asked, "Mr. Mihawk, do you know this young man?"

Mihawk looked at Sauron, then nodded, and said, "This is mine."

Suddenly, he stopped. He never thought of defining the relationship between him and Sauron. He said they were masters and apprentices. At that time, Sauron was clamoring to defeat him before he learned from him.

But it is not a master and apprentice, Sauron did learn the way of swordsmanship from him, and he also imparted some experience to Sauron.

But between the two, there is no name of master and apprentice. For example, Skyler is the same as the child named Kuina. Skyler can say without hesitation that Kuina is her student, but he and Sauron no.

Because Mihawk still wants to save face to some extent, and Sauron didn't even call him a teacher or master formally. What if he shyly said that Sauron was his disciple, and then Sauron didn't recognize him?

In addition to master and apprentice, it was also difficult for Mihawk to think of a word to describe the relationship between the two, so after a pause, he said again: "He was my swordsmanship partner for the past two years when I was bored."

"Obviously he's a stinky uncle, yet he's still so proud. Huh~"

As Perona said, Mihawk directly raised his hand, placed it on top of her head, and then pressed it lightly. Perona's entire face was twisted together, in pain, but not enough to cry out in pain.

but fencing sparring

There was a green light of jealousy in Cavendish's eyes, and he stared at Sauron. Sauron, who had fierce eyes, was startled by Cavendish's gaze at this time, and unconsciously took half a step back.

Sauron had never seen such a gaze, unlike the enemies or beasts he had encountered before, the emotion in Cavendish's eyes at this time was beyond Sauron's understanding.

At this time, Cavendish wanted to peel off Sauron's skin and put it on himself, so that he could also be Mihawk's swordsmanship partner.

You know. That's Mr. Mihawk's swordsmanship partner. If I can compete with Mr. Mihawk, it will probably be enough for me to figure it out for a long time.

Now, there is actually a person who has been able to enjoy this kind of treatment in the past two years, which is really enviable! envy! hatred!

Sauron, who was so stared at, couldn't take it anymore. He raised his hand and pressed it on the hilt of his sword. Facing Cavendish's shining green eyes, he said:

"Bastard! Do you want to fight me with that look in your eyes?!"

"Fighting? Hahaha~ I would like to see how strong you, the lucky one, are!"

Cavendish also raised his hand and grabbed the hilt of Durandal's sword. In an instant, his eyes turned into circles, but there were blue circles on one side and gold circles on the other.

And it was stable in this state. Seeing this, Mihawk raised his eyebrows and nodded approvingly.

"Squeak~"

Suddenly, the slightly shrill sound of the door opening interrupted the dispute between Sauron and Cavendish. It was not only the sound, but also the domineering arrogance that was so strong that it caused a painful gust of wind.

It's just that, although this domineering aura caused changes in the surrounding environment, it only precisely hit Sauron, Cavendish, Sanji, Abel, and Vinsmoke's family.

At this time, Mihawk looked at the Lord of Totland standing at the gate of the castle, and nodded. Katakuri also nodded in response, and then restrained his domineering arrogance, and said:

"I hope you will remember that this is Totland."

After the words fell, everyone nodded involuntarily, and even Abel restrained his own flame at this time, and stopped speaking.

Happy Holidays, Veterans, Active Duty, and Incoming Soldiers
