One Piece: The World King Who Emerged from the White Town

Chapter Sixty-Two: The Devil's Feast

The cooking time of more than an hour passed quickly, and many of the novel cooking techniques broadened the horizons of the audience.

"Is it ready yet? My stomach is so hungry~ *rumble*"

Baby-5 lay listlessly on the table, looking adorable.

Because there is no harm without comparison!

Buffalo next to him was making the same gestures and speaking in the same tone, but he seemed to have no other intention than to provoke a beating.

It seems that no matter which world you're in, good looks are everything!

"We'll have something to eat soon, just hang in there a little longer."

Just after Abel casually comforted Baby-5, perhaps hearing their thoughts, someone finally brought out the finished dish.

"Mick from Dongqiang Island was the first to finish his dish, which is called Flying Dragon Grilled Meat!"

With the host's enthusiastic introduction, plates of dishes shaped like soaring dragons were served, exuding a rich aroma.

The five professional judges were immediately tempted and began to savor the food elegantly.

Abel and his companions, on the other hand, were much more rude, complaining that it was too hot while still stuffing food into their mouths.

The rich, juicy meat bursts in your mouth instantly, and the intense aroma is like a dragon breathing fire.

As expected, none of the chefs who made it to the finals were simple.

Nevertheless, the five professional judges still gave their respective scores.

With a maximum score of 10, three people gave 8 points and two people gave 7 points.

Abel, representing the 'special judges,' immediately showed off his 'delicious' rating.

Anyway, his opinion doesn't matter. Since we've already accepted his food, we can't just cause him trouble.

During the subsequent commentary session, the five professional judges offered numerous evaluations such as "mediocre" and "lacking in innovation," which left the other party somewhat disappointed but also acknowledged the judges' assessments.

After all, his dish is essentially not innovative; it's just old wine in new bottles. So, this rating is already pretty good.

Then the other chefs' dishes were presented one after another, some with unique shapes, others emitting enticing aromas, and the audience responded with gasps of amazement.

The guy who was swinging two huge, flaming iron balls served up a dish that turned out to be several servings of crispy rice crusts drizzled with rich broth, which was quite surprising.

However, after tasting it, it received unanimous approval from the judges, who gave it extremely high praise and a high score.

Even Baby-5, who isn't particularly interested in crispy rice, ate every last bit of food off the plate.

Buffalo, needless to say, was already embarrassingly licking the plates clean.

Upon seeing this, the burly man immediately showed off his muscles in front of everyone.

It's still a bit too much for some eyes...

Just as the final match was drawing to a close, Chef Wang, who had been forcibly isolated, finally emerged with bloodshot eyes and a haggard look.

And his final dish turned out to be a black soup?

When a small bowl of black soup was placed in front of each person, everyone's expression turned strange, and for a moment no one dared to take the first bite.

They had all witnessed the cooking process.

The amount of chili peppers this guy threw into the pot was a lethal dose.

This is no longer a question of whether or not one can handle spicy food. There's no need to risk your life just to evaluate a dish.

So everyone hesitated, exchanging glances, wondering if any brave soul would step forward first.

There were indeed brave warriors present, but one who was someone they never expected.

Abel stirred the soup with his spoon and found that, apart from its frightening color, it was surprisingly crystal clear, just like obsidian.

Then it no longer smelled pungent like before; instead, it had a unique plant fragrance.

how did you do that?

With a hint of doubt, Abel, who was not even afraid of ordinary poisons, decisively put a spoonful of soup into his mouth.

In an instant, an indescribable fragrance and sweetness exploded in my mouth, rushing straight to the top of my head.

With just one bite, Abel felt incredibly energetic!

When I came to my senses, I found that my forehead was covered in a layer of sweat, giving me a comfortable feeling like I had just finished a sauna.

He understands the pleasant feeling of sweating after eating spicy food.

But what's going on here?

Even though he couldn't taste any spiciness at all, he still had a similar feeling. Could there be something wrong with his mouth?

Unconvinced, he took another bite, and then one bite after another...

Even after finishing the whole bowl of soup, I still didn't feel any spiciness, but I was sweating profusely and felt incredibly refreshed!

Abel stood up, still wanting more, and immediately set his sights on the soup in front of Baby-5 and Buffalo.

But the two guys immediately protected their bowls, picked them up, and started pouring the contents into their mouths.

Just kidding, they're not stupid!

Abel's performance just now was enough to show that this soup was not only drinkable, but also very delicious.

Sure enough, after the strange black soup entered their mouths, their eyes widened immediately, and they drank it all down without putting it down.

Seeing that the children had all drunk the wine, the five professional judges naturally could no longer pretend to be dead and immediately picked up their spoons to taste it as well.

Once it started, it was completely unstoppable.

boom!

They put down five empty bowls at the same time, and licked them clean, leaving not a single drop of soup inside.

Despite the astonished gazes of the host and the audience, they all blushed with embarrassment.

But they remained calm and unanimously gave it a perfect score of 10!

This immediately caused an uproar!

"Can you tell me how you did it? Everyone saw you put so many kinds and quantities of chili peppers in the pot, but the final soup was so fresh and sweet, without a trace of spiciness."

"And what's most incredible is that although there's no spiciness in the soup, it seems to be everywhere."

"After drinking this bowl of soup, I was sweating profusely from the spiciness, and then I felt incredibly refreshed. It was unbelievable!"

Under questioning from the professional judges, Chef Wang, who had created this dish despite not being favored by anyone beforehand, finally spoke slowly.

"This is the culmination of my master's lifelong research on chili peppers, and it is called—Devil's Feast."

"As for the details, I cannot disclose them."

Seeing his reaction, the judge had no choice but to sit down with regret.

All participants have now been scored, and the final winner was unhesitatingly awarded to Chef Wang, who truly deserved the title.

Abel, whose culinary skills were further enhanced by this dish, sought out Chef Wang after the competition to learn more about the situation.

After learning that the Death Pepper, one of the main ingredients, and some other rare peppers had become extinct, he could only regretfully give up.

Chapter Sixty-Three: The Kingdom of Philyèsh

"Brubrubru~ Brubrubru~"

Kaga...

"Pique, are you still not done on your end?"

Doflamingo's voice came through the Den Den Mushi.

Señor glanced at the dispersing crowd. "It's over. Any instructions, young master?"

"Don't be nervous, it's just a small problem that I need you to handle. To the east of Saint Geya Island where you are now, there is an island called Feiye Island. The king there has clearly refused to buy weapons from us and is even trying to intimidate us with his navy. So I hope you can go there and make the king change his mind, understand the importance of weapons to a country, and the fact that the navy is a bunch of useless people who can't protect anyone."

wow...

Señor lit a cigarette. "How far do we need to go?"

"Fufufufufu, do as you please. If you remain stubborn, then we'll change the king, or we can simply make this country disappear."

Since it can't bring any benefit to the family, the only option is to destroy it.

Señor paused for a moment, but finally nodded slightly and said, "I understand. Leave it to me."

"I knew you wouldn't let me down. I'm looking forward to your good news, Pique. By the way, remember to take good care of our family's future leaders. We've been short-handed lately, and we might need them to complete some simple tasks soon, so I need them to grow up quickly and at least stop being so naive."

After saying that, the Den Den Mushi immediately closed its eyes.

Señor carefully put it away, looked up at the sky, and enjoyed this moment of tranquility.

Although this task was very difficult for him, he had to find a way to complete it.

Otherwise, the next cadre to replace him will definitely use methods ten thousand times more drastic than he did to achieve his goal!

Therefore, he had no choice but to make this trade-off.

After the food festival ended, Señor found the group of happy people and explained their next mission. Their vacation was over!

Although it was somewhat sudden, Abel and the others had no objections.

Because it's useless even if we have it, that's Doflamingo's order.

So they had no choice but to pack their things and head to the port immediately.

With a little inquiry, you can find sightseeing boats going to Feyé Island.

The journey from Santa Gia Island to Fie Island takes about a day.

So Señor immediately decided to take this sightseeing boat to Fie Island to conceal his identity.
