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

An electric spark ignited the dry ignition material.

Soon, a campfire was lit.

Then, he skillfully processed the wild boar and roasted it over a fire.

Meanwhile, they found several giant plant leaves and roots with a salty and fragrant taste nearby, which they crushed and used as a natural seasoning to coat the meat.

Soon, the enticing aroma of roasted meat began to fill the air, and the sizzling sound of oil dripping onto the fire was incredibly tempting.

That's why people say that if you have a skill, you won't have to worry about starving to death and can live a comfortable life.

Before that, Luffy casually started a fire to roast meat, and then ate it all in one bite.

Now I have some aspirations.

Luffy stared intently at the roasted pig leg, which was gradually turning golden brown, his mouth watering.

"Almost there, almost there...we'll be able to eat it soon!"

Soon after, a figure quietly approached, observing the area with trepidation.

It was none other than Princess Perona, one of the three oddballs from the former Thriller Bark.

She was photographed by a bear on this island several days ago.

The island is teeming with gigantic beasts, and even though she is a Ghost-Ghost Fruit user, ghosts cannot help her turn those beasts into roast meat.

Not to mention those giant creatures are even more terrifying than zombies!

Some can breathe fire, some have hard shells, and some are incredibly fast.

This caused the princess, who was used to commanding zombies in a gloomy castle and whose own combat ability was not outstanding, a lot of suffering.

Her Kumasi wasn't around either, and she had no one to talk to.

These past few days, she could only hide in a relatively safe area, barely surviving by picking some non-poisonous wild fruits she recognized, living in constant fear and misery.

I'm going crazy if this keeps up!

Perona was so frightened by the loud noise that she quickly hid, fearing it might be some kind of terrifying beasts fighting.

But the strong aroma of roasted meat that followed caused her already bland stomach, which had been eating only fruit, to start protesting violently.

"The meat, it's the aroma of meat."

Perona hid in a cave, swallowing hard, her face filled with longing and struggle.

"It smells so good, I haven't had hot meat in so long."

grunt.

Ultimately, the craving for food outweighed the fear of the unknown dangers.

She gritted her teeth, stomped her foot, and decided to risk going closer to take a look.

What if, just what if it's some kind-hearted person in distress grilling meat?

Perhaps she was lucky and encountered two wild beasts breathing fire at each other, roasting each other alive?

impossible?

You've never even seen it, so how can you say it's impossible?

She carefully parted the grass and tiptoed toward the fire.

The first thing that catches the eye is the huge roasted wild boar, sizzling and dripping with oil, roasted over a fire until it's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

"!!!"

Perona's eyes instantly turned into stars, and she almost drooled.

However, there was no one near the fire.

"Strange, where are the people who were grilling the meat?"

As she was wondering, someone suddenly patted her shoulder gently from behind.

"Hey."

"Aaaaaaah!!"

Perona was terrified, screamed, and turned around abruptly.

What came into view was a face she absolutely never wanted to see again.

Straw Hat Luffy, Monkey D. Luffy!

Chapter 325 Temptation, Perona, do you want to eat?

If we're talking about the person Perona fears the most, Luffy is undoubtedly number one.

Spending all your time scaring others will eventually result in you being scared yourself.

At Thriller Bark, Luffy shattered her ghost dream with three punches.

During the great retreat, they ran into Luffy's face again.

It's the same again!

"I must be dreaming. It's a nightmare, but it'll be fine when I wake up. Goodnight, Kumasi..."

She kept talking, but the impact of Luffy's face was stimulating Perona's nerves.

Overwhelmed by shock, coupled with days of exhaustion and hunger, she rolled her eyes back and fainted instantly, collapsing to the ground.

Luffy had just gone to the neighborhood to find another spice that he thought tasted good, and when he came back, he saw a pink-haired woman wearing a Gothic Lolita dress and carrying a small parasol, squatting furtively next to his grilled meat, drooling.

This face looks familiar.

Luffy stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "Isn't this the woman who released the ghost on Thriller Bark?"

He glanced at Perona, who had fainted on the ground, and then at the meat that was almost cooked on the fire. Suddenly, an idea popped into his head.

Or should we just make do?

He is, after all, a Devil Fruit user.

"Never mind that for now, my stomach is the most important thing!"

He picked up the unconscious Perona and placed her in a relatively clean spot near the fire, then his attention immediately returned to the life-saving roasted pork leg.

"Finally, we can start eating!"

He couldn't wait to tear off a huge piece of meat that was grilled to perfection, and without caring that it was hot, he opened his mouth wide and took a big bite!

The rich aroma of meat explodes in your mouth instantly, and the succulent fat and firm texture bring unparalleled satisfaction.

Luffy was so moved he almost cried.

"I'm alive! I'm finally alive!"

"No, let me out! How can you be so selfish as to eat alone like this!" Nika cursed.

"Huh? You need to eat something?"

"Nonsense, you've drained all my energy, hurry up."

After much pleading, Nika was finally released, only to find that most of her flesh was gone, leaving her speechless.

Does this guy look human?

Luffy ate meat in big bites, his muscles seeming to bulge out.

This reminded him of when his grandfather, Garp, threw him into the forest when he was a child, just like that.

Luffy: "......."

I really don't want to think about it.

Let's eat.

As he was enjoying his meal, Perona, who had fainted beside him, twitched her eyelashes slightly, as if she were about to wake up.

Perona is having a nightmare.

In her dream, she was in her room, surrounded by Kumasi and her ghostly zombies. As the Ghost Queen, she was riding high.

But suddenly, all her ghostly zombies disappeared, and Luffy's face appeared before her.

"Oh, you're awake?"

The sound came from beside my ear.

Luffy moved closer, and Perona groggily opened her eyes. When she saw him, her eyes rolled back in her head.

"He fainted again? He's such a coward. Robin will have to teach him a lesson once he's on the ship."

This would go on forever, so Luffy pinched Perona's nose, blocking the air supply.

Within seconds, the feeling of suffocation forcibly pulled Perona back to reality from the edge of a chaotic nightmare.

"Well!!"

Perona suddenly opened her eyes and instinctively slapped Luffy's hand away.

Luffy, let go.

Perona gasped for breath, her pink eyes misty with fear and the shock of just waking up.

This time she didn't faint again, but a wave of grievance and lingering fear washed over her.

"No, I haven't done anything yet."

Luffy raised his hand, and Perona reacted as if he were a heinous criminal.

Wait, I'm a pirate.

Luffy patted his head.

Perona huddled up, her arms tightly wrapped around her chest, her eyes quickly reddening.

She stared at Luffy with a tearful expression, her small nose twitching slightly, as if her pearly tears were about to burst forth at any moment.
