Rebirth from Conan

Chapter 258 Who is the Senior?

Barbecue, seafood fried rice, grilled squid, takoyaki, grilled lamb chops, grilled steak, udon noodles...

Looking at the dazzling array of food on the table, Xia He blinked, then looked up at Doflamingo and said, "No vegetables?"

Everyone: "?"

"It's good enough that we let you come to dinner, but you're so picky?" Diamanti put down the steak in his hand and looked at Xia He with dissatisfaction.

However, Doflamingo waved at Baby-5 and said, "Go, ask the kitchen staff to bring some vegetables."

"it is good!"

Upon hearing this, baby-5 immediately jumped off the stool and ran quickly to the kitchen.

Seeing this, Xia He didn't say much. He found an empty seat, sat down, picked up the bowl of noodles and started to show off.

Don't get me wrong, he was never hungry.

When he was on the naval ship, the food and drinks provided by Upton were also very luxurious.

The reason why he ate like a starving ghost was simply because he had entered the stage of growing again.

A little over two years old, but with the body shape of a six or seven year old.

After this period of development, Xia He felt that he was about four years old and should have the same body shape as he had when he was ten years old in his previous life.

Perhaps before the age of ten, his physique could grow to its peak state at the age of eighteen in his previous life?
he thought to himself.

Not long after, baby-5 came back from the kitchen. Together with a cook, she placed the freshly prepared grilled eggplant, boiled seaweed, cold bean sprouts, and cucumber salad in front of Xia He.

Xia He took two bites of each one.

To be honest, the taste is indeed quite good, but it is far inferior to what he makes himself.

"I think you should know what it means that Dover asked you to have dinner with us this time?" Torrepol, who was already full, put down the knife and fork in his hand and said to Xia He.

"Baji, baji, baji~~Burp! You mean... burp! Am I officially joining the Don Quixote family now?" Xia He wiped his mouth and said.

"Yes." Torrebol nodded. "Not only have you officially joined our family, but you can also sit in this restaurant with us and Dover to eat together. This means... you will at least be a 'cadre' in the future."

Different from other pirate minions, children like Xia He and Baby-5 who possess extremely strong talents will become cadres in the pirate group once they grow up.

"Really? That's great!" Xia He raised his arms and cheered for about two or three seconds, then continued to show off the bowl of salad.

Not to mention, this sauce is quite delicious, much better than the salad dressings he had eaten in his previous two lives.

Looking at Xia He who immediately buried his head and started working hard again, everyone couldn't help but blink their eyes, not knowing what to say for a moment.

That's it?

Why do I feel...

This kid's excitement seems to be no different from what he is acting.

Forget it.

"Cheers to Xia He joining our family!"

"cheers!"

Glasses filled with wine and juice collided with each other.

Except for Xia He, everyone else present grinned with their teeth showing and shouted loudly with a smile on their faces.

As for how much of this smile is genuine and how much is a fake commercial smile, it is not clear. …

A full meal.

Xia He returned to the outside of the wooden house and started to reclaim the nearby wasteland.

He had just asked Torrebol. This town was built by their Don Quixote family. Apart from the pirates in their pirate group, the rest are almost all slaves. There are no so-called civilians.

Therefore, as a future cadre of the Don Quixote family, he could make use of this vacant land however he wanted.

Even if he destroyed this land, Doflamingo probably wouldn't say anything.

After sowing the seeds found in the forest on the land, Xia He was busy for three and a half hours and then wiped the sweat from his neck.

"Hu~~"

It's true, no matter where we go, it's no different from when we were on the uninhabited island.

"What are you doing?" Suddenly, Baby-5 and Buffalo appeared from nearby again.

"Farming." Xia He lay against a tree, shirtless, and replied without turning his head.

"Farming?" Buffalo held a chicken leg in his hand, tilted his head, and his eyes were full of confusion.

Even though he had eaten a lot, he always felt insecure if he didn't have something to eat in his hands.

It's just like licking a lollipop, taking a bite from time to time, and the main thing is to satisfy your taste buds. The effect is almost the same as smoking in summer or on ordinary days.

"Yes, in a few months, these seeds will germinate and bear fruit."

"Fruit? Is it fruit?" asked baby-5.

"Mostly vegetables, but there are also fruits. Of course, the growth cycle of fruit trees is too long, so it will take several years before we can get a harvest."

Xia He originally didn't want to plant trees, but then he thought, if Upton and the others couldn't use his intelligence to kill Doflamingo in advance, then he might really have to stay in the Donquixote Pirates until Luffy came to rescue him...

There is even a high possibility of this happening.

"Wow, can this really bear fruit? How magical." Buffalo said, and walked towards the field that Xia He had just planted.

Unexpectedly, before his feet even touched the soil, he was swung by Xia He's knife and flew more than ten meters away, and then hung on the top of a big tree.

baby-5: "."

Buffalo: (°ー°〃)
Buffalo, still holding the chicken leg tightly in his hand and having no idea how he had flown up, recalled the scenes in which Xia He had taught him a lesson time and again. He couldn't help but feel a little fear in his heart.

"From now on, you are not allowed to enter the fields without my permission. Got it, Buffalo?"

"I know..." Buffalo replied weakly.

Then Xia He continued, "Of course, if I need you, you must come as soon as possible to help me farm. Do you understand?"

"clear."

Buffalo said this as he climbed down from the tree shakily.

But after landing, he suddenly realized that strictly speaking, shouldn't he be Xia He's "predecessor", but how come he was scared and trembling by a little kid?
Buffalo, who was a little angry, puffed out his chest and was about to retort, but when he turned around, he saw Xia He holding a cigarette in his mouth, and glanced at him with murderous eyes and said, "Why, do you have anything else to say?"

"No...no more."

After saying that, Buffalo ran away dejectedly towards the house while gnawing on the chicken leg.
