Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

Chapter 17: Rubber and lightning combined?

"A Devil Fruit user? This guy's been hiding it well."

Sanji, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, followed Luffy out, neck to neck.

I happened to witness this feeding scene.

Time seemed to stand still when his gaze fell upon Nami.

Sunlight streamed through the restaurant's portholes, outlining Nami's delicate profile and exquisite figure, especially the glimpse of her fair neck beneath her short orange hair—she was simply an angel descended to earth!

"Ah, what a beautiful lady."

Sanji's eyes were glazed over, as if he had been struck by Cupid's arrow, and heart-shaped symbols almost popped out of his eyes.

However, the next second, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

He saw Nami finish feeding Luffy, then casually picked up the spoon he had just used, and naturally scooped up the pudding in front of him, feeding it to her rosy and alluring lips.

This was an instinctive reaction. After realizing what was happening, Nami paused for a second, then continued.

I tried to comfort myself, thinking that we'd already slept in the same room and been pressed down on before, so what were those other things that were more serious than this?

Besides, nobody saw it!

No one saw it, so it wasn't done. Hmm, perfect excuse.

Sanji: "......"

That spoon!

That damn spoon!

That straw hat kid just ate!

Isn't that the same as an indirect kiss?!

Three minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and Luffy finished eating and drinking, his head returning to its original position.

"Hey, you brat, explain yourself your relationship with that beautiful lady!"

Sanji, like a hungry ghost crawling out of hell, grabbed Luffy by the collar.

"What relationship?" Luffy was taken aback.

Luffy pondered for a moment.

After reading the book, my mind opened up, and I gained a slight understanding of that subject.

This must not be misunderstood.

Luffy looked at Sanji with a serious expression and said, "Nami is my most important navigator!"

The most important navigator?

Just as I expected, haha.

Feed them yourself.

Use the same spoon.

What could possibly be the connection?

Damn it, even this straw hat kid can find love, but what about mine?

"Are you two very free?"

Zeff walked over, somewhat surprised.

He glanced at Sanji and warned him, "Don't you dare harass the passengers on the ship."

"I understand." Sanji was greatly shocked.

"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on him!" Luffy replied.

"Ok?"

Zeff glanced at Luffy, then at Sanji, pondered for a moment, and then nodded.

"If he does anything strange in the future, just punch him."

"I see. I understand."

Luffy nodded; this was a request from his family.

At first, Zoro and his crew were recruited individually, so there were no such requirements.

Luffy grinned at Sanji.

Sanji laughed so hard he got goosebumps.

"Wait, what do you two mean by this?"

"It's meaningless. Just pack your things and leave. You're fired." Zeff waved his hand.

"What a joke! I'm the sous chef!" Sanji was furious.

“I’m the head chef, you little brat, have you forgotten this is my ship?” Zeff stared at him.

With a sizzling sound.

There seemed to be flashes of lightning between the two as they stared at each other.

No, it wasn't them.

"Yes, yes, I have a question."

Luffy scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

[After multiple executions of the plan, the punishment has been reduced from Stage 2 to Stage 1. Time to replenish food has been reached. Warning: Next is the time to learn navigation skills from Nami. Please proceed immediately. Countdown: 30, 29...1]

Seeing the countdown for the first time, Luffy didn't panic; in fact, he almost laughed.

The electricity doesn't affect him at all.

He can accept anything as long as it's not that kind of punishment.

Zeff was, after all, a pirate who had traveled to the Grand Line for a year and returned safely, and he had seen all sorts of Devil Fruit users.

The Gum-Gum Fruit is, after all, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit.

What other tricks can they come up with?

But what's with the electricity coming out of his body?

An eraser and lightning combined?

It can't be one of those legendary Zoan-type Mythical Beasts, can it?

At that moment, a deafening explosion suddenly came from the restaurant.

Is someone causing trouble at the restaurant?

Almost simultaneously, Zeff and Sanji's argument ended, their expressions turned gloomy, and they even began to twitch violently.

Just by looking at the expressions on their faces, you could feel their anger.

Luffy felt that Sanji and Zeff were both the kind of people who were quite calm and their emotions wouldn't be affected by anything.

Now he knows.

Everyone has things in their heart that cannot be trampled on.

This incident was certainly not about disrupting the event for Sanji and his crew.

What does disrupting someone's event mean?

For chefs, this is even more intolerable than being slapped in the face, because it means a waste of their hard work and a desecration of the food!

Luffy empathizes; if someone does something unforgivable to his crewmates and hat, he will also be angry.

Just like now, Sanji's affairs are his affairs!

Was the disturbance caused by that navy officer from earlier?

"This place has been requisitioned by Chief Kriek! Everyone except the cook, get out!"

A sound came from outside, carrying a hint of unbridled arrogance.

"Tsk, here comes the troublesome guy." Zeff's eye twitched.

He knew who it was just by hearing the name. The East Blue wasn't a very big place, and there were only a few pirates with a bit of a reputation coming and going.

Creek, who is known as the overlord of the East China Sea, has a great reputation.

That's why pirates are so obsessed with gaining fame.

When you go out and announce your name, everyone instantly recognizes you, and the sense of accomplishment causes a surge of dopamine.

Sanji took a deep drag on his cigarette, then flicked the butt to the ground and stomped it out. "What an impolite guest. He needs to be taught a lesson."

“That’s none of your business,” Zeff said.

“Huh? That’s my business!” Sanji replied immediately.

The two looked like they were about to start arguing again.

"Alright, alright, although I don't know what happened yet, Sanji's business is my business now. We're partners, aren't we?"

Luffy grinned and pulled them apart.

“Straw Hat Boy, this is my restaurant, it’s none of your business to interfere!” Zeff said without turning his head.

"Get out of my way, you stinking rubber! My restaurant doesn't need your meddling!"

Both of them share the same stubborn personality.

At that moment, Luffy sensed two slightly stronger auras flash by outside.

Huh?

This hunter-like instinct surprised him slightly.

[It's time to learn about navigation with Nami.] Please proceed immediately.
