I'm in One Piece, and I'm Luffy's childhood friend.

"Bai Yun, I'm hungry, time to cook!!"

Bai Yun replied listlessly, "Okay~", but what can you do when Luffy is the captain?

........

"Haha, Bai Yun's cooking is still as delicious as ever."

Luffy replied, his mouth full of rice.

"Not bad, you can even brew wine." Zoro tilted his head back, took a sip of wine, and continued the conversation.

"Yes, you're really all-around amazing, Bai Yun."

Usopp also admired Haku's luck, even though he knew it was because of the Haku-Haku Devil Fruit.

"That's about it."

Miss Nami muttered something.

Bai Yun took off his apron. "Don't praise me, or I'll get arrogant."

"But I'm only half-baked; I only know how to cook a few dishes."

"We still need to find a professional chef partner who knows how to create nutritionally balanced meals."

Indeed, Bai Yun's cooking skills are currently at the level he learned in Windmill Village for the first half of the month after he met Luffy when he was a child.

When he arrived at Dadan's house, there was no chef to cook for him or teach him how to cook.

"A professional chef is indeed indispensable for a long journey."

"By the way, Bai Yun, what is your position?"

Zoro asked.

"I?"

"Anything is fine. I'm like a brick; I'll go wherever I'm needed."

"Anything is fine until our pirate crew is fully formed."

Bai Yun thought about it and decided that he would just be a tool for the time being.

So the group decided to find a chef as their next crew member, ignoring Luffy's suggestion to become a musician.

The musician, it's still a long way before Brooke boards the ship.

........

It was lunchtime, a time for casual conversation, but we were suddenly interrupted by a voice from the deck.

With a clang, the sound of a knife being drawn was heard, and the newcomer shouted.

"You pirates! Come out here, I'm going to kill you all!!"

Bai Yun paused while washing the dishes, suddenly remembering, "That's right, this is where they encountered Yossa, the 'God of Swords and Saint of Blades,' Johnny's bastard. Just now, Luffy and Usopp's cannon shot happened to hit the rocky hill where Yossa was resting."

Luffy went out and knocked Johnny to the ground in two quick moves.

Zoro recognized him as his former underling as soon as he came out. "Aren't you Johnny? Why aren't you with Yosar?"

"Zoro...Brother Zoro!!"

“This one, Yozathah…”

.......

"Are you sick?"

Johnny brought Yoza to the deck, where Yoza was bleeding from the mouth and had lost all his teeth.

"I don't know how it turned out like this, and I was powerless to do anything about it. I could only leave him behind the rocky hill to rest, and then the ship... fired its cannons."

Johnny explained, his voice filled with helplessness and confusion.

Upon hearing this, Luffy and Usopp felt a surge of guilt and immediately bowed in apology.

"sorry..."

Johnny covered his forehead. "Let bygones be bygones."

"If apologies could solve problems, then the world would no longer need police."

Johnny wasn't angry with them; instead, he said this, which made Luffy and Usopp feel even more guilty, wishing they could slap themselves twice.

Bai Yun smiled and stepped forward, putting his arm around their necks, adding insult to injury.

"Someone's going to have trouble sleeping tonight."

Chapter 71 Sea Restaurant

Johnny the Sword Saint and Yossa the Blade God make their appearance.

But Yoza looked like he was about to die, with blood flowing from his mouth and all his teeth out.

Nami couldn't stand it anymore.

"Fool!"

"Luffy, Usopp, go and juice the oranges in the cabin and bring them over for this guy named Yossa to drink."

"Yes, sir!!"

Feeling guilty for their mistakes, Luffy and Usopp immediately took action.

.......

"This is scurvy. If it is treated in time, it will heal in a few days."

Yosa became like this because he had scurvy.

If fruits and vegetables are not properly stored during long voyages at sea, they may develop scurvy due to a lack of vitamin C.

Nami offered an explanation.

Johnny happily called Nami "big sister".

Knowing that Yosar could be saved, Luffy and Usopp felt less guilty.

Luffy: "Wow, Nami is amazing! She's like a doctor!"

Usopp: "I told you long ago that you're a very capable woman."

Nami yelled angrily, "Do you guys have any navigational knowledge? You're all going to die sooner or later if you keep going like this. If it weren't for me..."

Nami almost let something slip halfway through her sentence.

"there is nothing??"

Luffy pressed for an answer.

"N-nothing!"

Nami pretended to be angry and turned her head away, only to be startled by Yossa's sudden "resurrection".

"I've been revived after absorbing the nutrients!!"

"Yay!!"

"Can it really heal that quickly?!"

Nami shouted angrily again, saying that ever since she joined Luffy's crew, not a single man she had met had been normal.

Yosa resurrected, and he and Johnny struck a pose, coolly introducing themselves.

Then, Yosa vomited blood and collapsed.

"partner!"

"You should just rest and recuperate!"

Zoro replied that he hadn't had these two clowns in a long time either.

Let's return to the topic of scurvy.

"Sailing on the high seas, you do often encounter this kind of thing."

Zoro started the conversation.

"So, just like I said earlier, we need a chef at sea who knows how to create a balanced diet."

Bai Yun picked up the conversation, saying that needing a real chef was one thing, but another was that he was lazy.

"Then we've decided to find a [sea chef], mainly because we can eat delicious food on board."

When it comes to food, Luffy couldn't help but stick out his tongue, like a dog.

When asked about chefs, Johnny raised his little hand in response.

“Speaking of chefs, Brother Zoro, if you’re looking for a chef, there’s a place that would be perfect.”

"A restaurant on the sea!"

"Yes, it will take two or three days to get there, but because we are close to the Grand Line, there are many villains around, so we have to be careful."

"Brother Zoro, the 'Hawkeye' you're looking for has recently been spotted there."

Upon hearing Hawkeye's name, Zoro's eyes widened slightly; Hawkeye was someone he was determined to surpass in order to achieve his dream.

.......

And so, at Johnny's suggestion and with his guidance, the Straw Hat Pirates headed toward the location of the sea chef.

After learning that Hawkeye might be spotted there, Zoro trained even harder.

Bai Yun walked up to him, squatted down, and watched him do push-ups.

"With your current strength, what can you do against the world's greatest swordsman?"

Zoro continued moving, "You even know the world's greatest swordsman?"

"I still pay some attention to news from the sea."

"The world's greatest swordsman, Hawkeye Mihawk, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea."

As Bai Yun spoke, the bracelet transformed into a thick iron plate and pressed down on Zoro's back.

Zoro froze, his arm trembling, and Bai Yun said in a cheeky tone.
