Chapter 56 Golden Beard (Happy New Year!!!)

Chapter 56 Golden Beard (Happy New Year~!!!)

Barati, the restaurant on the sea.

One of the most famous restaurants in the East China Sea!

As a food place that is extremely famous even for the entire East China Sea, there are endless ships passing by here every day, transporting a large number of diners here.

There are even many people who come here from all over the world or the Great Route just to taste the delicious food of boss Zhepu in person.

Its popularity can be imagined!

And if they want to survive on this sea, food alone is obviously not enough for them to cope with the people coming and going.

In addition to [delicious], another feature of Barati, the restaurant on the sea, is the [combat] element of the fierce folk customs!

From the boss Zhepu to the waiter who serves the dishes, no one is easy to deal with.

Because those weak guys have long been scared away by the terrifying environment of Barati and left here to find a more stable job.

…

…

Pop!

It was noon, the busiest time for Barati business.

A pair of slippers that couldn't be more ordinary suddenly kicked open the door of Barati.

Then a young man wearing a straw hat walked in with a big smile on his face.

"Hiss~~! What a nice smell!!!"

As soon as he entered the restaurant, Luffy's nose instantly expanded, greedily inhaling the aroma of the food in the restaurant, and his two eyes became golden and shining like Nami saw treasure.

Seeing that there was an empty table next to the door, he didn't care about anything else and sat down directly. Then he called out to his friends at the door of the restaurant and called the waiter.

"Red, Zoro, this way!!!"

"Waiter, serve us the food quickly!!!"

Luffy, who couldn't wait to enjoy the food, shouted loudly, instantly breaking the noble and elegant atmosphere in the restaurant.

Some diners who were quietly enjoying the food frowned instantly.

"Really, can't Barati set some entry standards?"

"Letting anyone in will really affect the food!"

"No way, it's like this on the sea, there are people of all qualities..."

"…………"

The sound of whispering rang out in the corners of the restaurant.

But at this moment, a trembling voice that was about to cry suddenly came:

"Hey! Look... that... isn't that... that man!?"

The trembling voice hesitated for a long time, but still didn't dare to say the name.

But his action undoubtedly attracted the attention of other diners.

Many people turned around and looked in the direction of the door.

Then...

Bang~...

The sound of various knives, forks, bowls and dishes colliding sounded one after another, noisy.

But the whole hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone's expressions froze at this moment, and they all agreed...

Their pupils suddenly expanded, and their eyes showed horror as they looked at the figure at the door, and time seemed to stand still.

At this moment, even the sound of breathing became so heavy and harsh for them.

Until a slightly braver diner began to whisper.

"It's... it's the Straw Hat Boy!!!"

"The pirate who was offered a bounty of 50 million Baileys by the World Government!!!"

His voice seemed to be infectious, instantly breaking the silent atmosphere in the restaurant, but making it even more weird.

Everyone immediately turned around, trembling with hands and feet, picking up their knives and forks again, trying their best to pretend that they hadn't noticed anything.

But the fear and terror in their eyes could not be concealed no matter what.

For those who can afford to come here to eat, they naturally can't be unaware of the big event that has caused a sensation in the entire East China Sea in the past few days!

The big pirate who attacked the Navy Branch and openly insulted the Navy at the Navy Branch, and was offered a bounty of 50 million Baileys - the Straw Hat Boy Monkey D. Luffy!!!

And at this moment, all of them were blocked at the door by this big pirate!!!

The only escape route has been cut off, and no one knows what their fate will be like next.

For a moment, the whole hall was shrouded in a sad atmosphere.

Fortunately, at this time, a burly man noticed the abnormal atmosphere and saw Luffy's iconic straw hat.

A flash of fear flashed in his eyes.

But the next second, he immediately came over with a flattering face, rubbing his hands and smiling:

"Welcome, customer, I am Paddy, the temporary waiter here."

"What would you like to order?"

Luffy had no idea how much psychological pressure his casual action caused everyone.

He showed the attitude of a stupid son of a landlord, picked up the tableware and started to knock:

"Anything is fine! As long as it's delicious! I'm hungry!! Can you serve the food quickly!!!"

"Got it!... Got it!"

Paddy nodded immediately, but his expression changed immediately and he asked again:

"Although it is very presumptuous, our restaurant does not welcome paupers. Excuse me, sir, do you have money?"

"Huh?"

Luffy kept his eyes on him, thinking about the pocket money that Nami confiscated because he spent money lavishly...

His whole temperament softened instantly.

But before he could answer, a voice came from behind Paddy:

"We will pay for it."

Red smiled and walked past Paddy, taking the Straw Hat Pirates, Johnny and Joseph to sit down one after another.

Then he smiled gently at Paddy:

"Don't worry, we won't eat for free."

"But the way we pay may be a little special..."

Red made a gesture with his eyes, and Johnny and Joseph immediately raised their hands and threw the drugged Zangao and the cat brothers to the ground.

Then Red took out two bounties and handed them to Paddy and said with a smile:

"These three people are wanted criminals of the Black Cat Pirates, and the total bounty is 16 million Baileys."

"Excluding the running expenses, it's 15 million Baileys, which should be enough for us to eat here for a few days!?"

"Enough! Enough!!!"

After comparing the bounty order with the three people on the ground, Paddy's ferocious face with a face full of flesh instantly smiled into a scary arc!

Because there are often naval officers who come here to eat, exchanging bounties is not a troublesome thing for them.

And although Barati's charging standard is not low, 15 million Baileys is equivalent to the turnover of the entire restaurant for several days.

"Please wait for a moment, I will ask the kitchen to prepare food for you!!!"

"Barati, the sea restaurant, I guarantee you will be satisfied!"

Paddy easily picked up the three bounty prisoners with one hand, said respectfully to Red and others, and immediately withdrew.

And watching his back with a smile on his face when he left, Red couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and snickered.

"You have to keep your word, waiter!"

15 million Baileys?

If you buy the ingredients separately, it will definitely be enough for Luffy to eat for a long time.

But if it is said that it is in Barati, which has a very high consumption level...

A smirk appeared in the depths of Red's eyes, and then he and his companions sat down.

Perhaps Luffy's identity gave them some privileges. In a few minutes, dishes of fragrant food were brought up by Paddy and other fierce-looking waiters.

Being able to become a famous tourist destination in the entire East China Sea, the skills of the chefs of Barati are naturally beyond reproach.

Everyone was very satisfied with this meal.

Johnny and Joseph, two non-staff members, were so moved that they almost cried.

With their strength, they don't have much chance to consume in such a high-end place.

Just when everyone was full of food and wine, only Luffy was still showing off...

A chef wearing a super high chef hat, a wooden prosthesis on one foot, and two golden twisted beards came over.

"Hello everyone, I am the owner of this store, and also the chef here, Zeff. May I ask if you are satisfied with today's dishes?"

Knowing that a big pirate with a bounty of up to 5000W is coming, even an old man like Zeff can hardly suppress his excitement. After finishing his job, he immediately came to the hall to find out.

Although from Paddy's description, this group of people didn't seem to be looking for trouble.

But in the East China Sea where a bounty of 20 million Baileys is enough to shock a quarter of the world, the gold content of 50 million Baileys is really too terrifying!

"Satisfied... woooooo... very satisfied."

"Uncle! The food here is really great!!!"

Luffy, who was eating a lot, heard that the person who came was the chef here, and he rarely pulled out a hand and gave him a thumbs up.

It can be seen how much he likes this meal.

And seeing that the diners are so enthusiastic about the dishes they created, the chef Zhepu also smiled with satisfaction.

"Satisfied! Satisfied!"

"I didn't expect that my small shop could be favored by you big guys. It seems that our business will become more and more prosperous in the future~!"

Zhepu laughed.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, he also took the opportunity to show that he already knew the identities of Luffy and others, so as to show his goodwill and not want to cause any entanglement.

But just after he finished speaking, Akahō raised his lips:

"Oh? Boss Zeff, do you care about the business?"

"Then I wonder if you are interested in making this store more famous~"

"Famous enough to be known to the world?"

"Hmm?" Zeff raised his eyebrows and looked at Akahō in confusion.

At this time, Akahō gently pulled Luffy's shoulder, stood up and saluted Zeff gentlemanly:

"Let me introduce myself, Boss Zeff."

"I am Akahō, the vice-captain of the Straw Hat Pirates."

"In fact, we came here today, in addition to enjoying the food, there is another more important thing."

As he said, Akahō patted Luffy on the back.

"Ah, right, right, right~!"

At his reminder, Luffy suddenly remembered something, holding a steak in one hand and a drink in the other, chewing and saying:

"The food here is so delicious, I almost forgot..."

"Uncle Goldbeard, Red said you have a super good chef here, I think his name is Sandwich..."

"It just so happens that my pirate group is still short of a chef!"

"We came here specifically to find him this time!"

"I want him to be our partner and go on an adventure with us on the Grand Line!!!"

Luffy, with a greasy face, laughed sincerely.

It should have been a very funny scene...

But after seeing Luffy's expression, two familiar and unfamiliar words flashed through Zeff's mind after he retreated from the Grand Line...

Fearless... and ambition!!!

Ahahaha~More updates are coming~

There are a lot of things going on these two days, so the update time may have to be moved to the evening, please forgive me~!!!

I wish you all a successful weight loss, a rich business, a salary increase at work, and a room for confession~!!!

Happy New Year everyone~!!!
